Another Scare.

There was serious scare among
some Of our prominent, gun. WELD
politicians last week. The day being
very hot and business slack, four
gentlemen, who pose as the very
foundation pillars of the Republic,
and who "know it all" gathered in a
convenient back room covered with
corrugated iron and situated not
many miles from the Esplanade, to
discuss the future Of the country,
the faults Of the Dole administration
and incidentally play an innocent
game Of the national game of Amer
icans-5 cents ante, % cents limit.
The game and the talk were pro
gressing nicely. One Of the brave
revolutionists had two pairs, aud
was going to raise the pot which
contained about. 35 cents, when a
terrific explosion took place on the
iron roof, causing the man with the
two pairs to throw down his hand
and scramble over his colleagues out
OF the back door
A reward is offered for the appre.
hension OF the mischievous fellow
who waived the red shirt anarchy
and set Of fire-crackers which laid
four gallant, Republican braves, low
with a serious attack Of heart pal
pitation.

A Pretty Dance.

The exhibition Of the pupils of
Mrs, Gums dancing school took
place on Saturday evening at Inde-
pendence Park and was witnessed by
a large and select audience.
Mrs. Gum deserves the greatest
credit for the excellent appearance
Of her pupils, and the perfect and
graceful manner in which they went
through the ancient dances, which
certainly are deserving of resurrec-
ton during these days of "galoping"
through business and pleasure
After the exhibition the "big 'uns"
took the floor and the merry dancing
went on until midnight.

a Compromise.

The case ot S. Ami, the we'll
known Maui merchant, VS.. Sheriff
Baldwin ct AL, OF Maui, for dam
ages, was discontinued this morning
in the Circuit Court, compromise
having been effected.
The case arose from an alleged
illegal search OF the residence Of Mr.,
Ahmi by posse of police hunting
for opium. The officers entered
Ahmi's premises at midnight during
his absence, with warrant, to the
great fear aud annoyance Of Ahmi's
wife aud family. No opium was
found and suit for damages was
instituted 10y Ahmi, by his attorney,
Mr.. Humphreys.
The amount Of damages claimed
was $4,000. The sheriff, deputy
sheriff, and large number Of Off
GERS arrived yesterday to give evil
dence in the case. Mr.. Ahmi, fol-
lowing Chinese customs refused to
allow the female members of the
household to appear in court and a
dscontinuauce was asked for aud
granted.
1t is understood that the defend
ants in the case, who were repre-
sented by Mr.. Kinney, pay to Ahmi
$3.50, besides all the expenses con-
nected with the case.
