GIANT POWDER EXPLODES AT
HAMALEI.
One Chinese Killed, Another Blinded,
and Third Badly Injured-Smoked
Doped in a Powder House.

Word reached the city on the steam
er Waialeale this morning of terri
BILE accident with giant powder at
Hamalei, on Hawaii, in which one
Chinese was killed, another lost ms
eyesight, and third was badly iI,-
iured All three Chinese were in an
outhouse where powder was kept. One
must have dropped lighted match II
25-pound keg of powder, for it eX-
ploded, blowing the shanty to pieces,
and scattering the Chinese all over
the place.
The supposition is that the Chinese
went to the powder house to smoke
opium. 1t is situated in an out-of-the-
way corner of Kwong Sun Wai's rice
plantation, and is generally stunned
by the plantation people. Generally
large amount of powder is kept
there but it just happened that the
supply was low. Only one 25-pound
keg was left, and that exploded The
shanty was blown into pieces, and the
inmates were afterward picked up
some distance away. How they es-
capped being blown into atoms is a
mystery, but all were living when
picked up. One died afterward. An
other will escape with the loss of his
eyesight. while the third. who was far
thest away from the powder lleg, and
was was shielded by the man who lost
his life, will recover
The accident occurred last Tuesday
and caused great excitement in the
vicinity. The chances are that it will
never be known what the Chinese were
doing in the powder house. Certain.
ly they had no business there.
