Detective David KAPPA and his as
sistant, Chan Poor, made a notable
police haul at i o'clock this morning.
The prisoners are Geo. Summers and
All 10y, both ex-convicts. Summers

All 10y is regarded as about the most
dangerous Chinese criminal in the ISL

'Kaapa and Chun Poon were waiting
in Aala for the movement of some
men or goods, not having a thought
of the pair of rascals now behind the
bars. The officers saw two skulking
figures near the railway depot. A
rush was made on the suspicious look
ing couple. Summers dropped a pack
age in the mud. Both started to run
but stopped on hearing a threat from
Kaapa. Bundle and men were brought
to the station.
The package contained: Skeleton

New Fire Station.

During this session of the Legisla-
ture, citizens of s'The Plains" will re-
new and press their claim for a fire
station. One idea brought out in the
interest Of the Finance Department is
to move in the Waikiki direction and
mauka, the No. l station, on King
near the Square. Advocates of this
argue that the new central and the
Chinatown stations are ample for the
protection of the business portion of
the city and the shipping as WELL 1t
is held further in this same connec-
ton that the tug Eleu, or a new tow
boat should be provided with fire
pumps.

NOT A SORCERER.
Native Woman Says Accusation
Was False and Ask Damages.

Kaupena Kaimana, of Hawaii, says
she did not practice sorcery in 1897,
and cause the death of a native woman.
AS proof of it she was acquitted of the
charge in that year in the North Ko-
hala Court and District Magistrate
Atkins discharged her. Deputy Sheriff
c. II. Pulaa swore out the warrant for
her arrest on that charge last July and
Constable J. H. Kamaunu arrested her
The native woman died in March and
the authorities believed they had suffi-
cient cause to arrest Kaupena.
kaupena now claims she was dam
aged to the extent of $4,000 by the
Deputy Sheriff and the Constable and
is now trying to prove her claim to the
Circuit Court where her grievance and
the whole case are being thoroughly
aired.

To Close Union Street.

1t is more than likely that it will
be suggested to the Legislature to
close Union street. Accompanying
this recommendation will be a strong
plea for the widening and improve
ment Of Adams Lane. Some of the
street experts who have given the mat
ter not a little attention are certain
that the scheme here outlined would
be the best and cheapest and safest.
Union street at present is the most
dangerous thoroughfare in the city. 1t
is narrow and crooked and without
sidewalk. Adams Lane could be made
a useful and handsome street.

Relief for the Cubans.

Jacob King, aged 50 years, raised
$500 the past week for the relief of
the starving and suffering Cubans. The
money and list Of the names OF the sub
scribers were sent to New York Mon
day. We would have published the
names on this list but they were sent
away before we asked for them.
A collection amounting to something
like eleven dollars was taken up in the
Baptist church Sunday for the Cubans,
and next Sunday collections will be TAX
en- up in the Baptist and Methodist
Episcopal Sunday schools for the same
cause.
An appeal was made through the
columns of THE STAR and VOlimteer
last week by Mayor Stoke for aid for
the destitute Cubans, and subscription
book has been opened at Stokes drug
store. We stated that we would pub
lish the names OF all persons who would
contribute to this fund. The contribu-
tions up to last evening are: H. Alex.

Eight Million Now In.

There are now about eight million
feet of logs in the dam at Hopkins mill,
two miles below Reynoldsville, and the
mill men experienced some difficulty in
keeping the logs from getting away
from the dam during the high water
last week. OF these eight million four
million were left over from last year
and the other four million were hoated
to the dam last month from Degnan e.
McDonald's log job above town few
miles. These gentlemen have over two
million more ready to float TO Hopkins
and will cut at least five million more
to supply the mill with fifteen million
for the seasons saving. Most all the
logs hoated to the mill have been hem
lock.
Degnan & Mcdonald will build two
miles of an extention to their railroad
at Sandy Valley to reach large timber
tract seven miles north of Sandy Valley.
This week Degnan & Mcdonald will
haul half million feet of hardwood
logs from Sandy Valley to Hopkins with
their "dinky" engine over the A. V.
R'y.

Waded Out.

Thursday evening a well dressed gen.
tleman, with an overcoat on his arm,
started to go to the A. V. R'y for the 40
train and when he arrived at the bridge
the buses had gone over and the boys
with the skiff were at the other end OF
the street. He was in too much of a
hurry to wait for the skiff and he made
an attempt to get over on the floating
sidewalks and Herpel's picket fence. He
was getting along fairly well until he
came in contact with a barbed wire fence
and then there was nothing left for him
to do but to entangle himself from the
wire fence and try to get back to the
bridge or wade out and catch his train,
which was ready to start. He resolved
to do the latter and he waded out and
got on the train with wet legs and a
rufiled temper.

Big Land Slide.

In the early days of the Low Grade
Div. of the A. V. Ry the company
could always expect big land slide
every spring somewhere on the road be-
tween Red Bank and New Bethlehem,
but of late years the hills have not been
trying to run over the railroad into the
creek. Last Wednesday morning big
slide was found near Lawsonham. A
large crew of men were put to work and
they worked all day and in the evening
they had a larger slide before them
than when they began. About two
hundred feet OF the track was covered
to the depth OF from twenty to thirty
feet with stone and dirt. All the sec
tion men on the road were gathered up
and taken to the slide and it was not
until Friday morning that the track
was cleared enough to allow trains to
pass over it.
On the Main line of the A. V. R'y
there were number of slides and wash

Not Exaggerated.

Mrs. DR.. S. Reynolds. Of this place,
received letter a few days ago from
her uncle, Pulaski F. Hyatt, U. S. Con-
sui at Santiago, Cuba, in which he says
the suffering in Cuba is not exaggerated
by the newspapers Of America. We
quote few extracts from Consul
Hyatt's letter:
"a few weeks since / was awakened
by a rabble about my front door and on
looking out I beheld half naked form

kneeling position, head thrown back as
II in the act Of supplication. A remnant
Of pair of pants and an old straw hat
were all that covered the heap of skin
and bones. Such sights have frequent
ly greeted my morning vision.
"But, oh, the beggars! You can have
no conceptions of their numbers. Be-
fore receiving provisions, / started in

cents, but they swamped me. | still
have few that give daily pittance.
when the provisions came | organ
lied committee of about thirty ladies
of the first families OF the city, who
divided the city in sections, each to
look after the poor in their own baili-
wick. They carried with them quinine
pills and camphor and opium pills, and
gave them out under instructions of the
doctors; and in the matter of food, they
gave them card, stating name, date,
number of street, number in family. etc.
These tickets would admit them to pass
through driveway into court in the
rear Of the Consulate, where six men
are engaged in giving out rations as
fast as they can handle them. 1t takes
six or eight policemen to hold the crowd
in check, and the road at times will be
blocked for square with people wait
ing for their turns, and when they get
through they get their rations for a
week for each member Of their family
Often at night there will be quite a
crowd left over that may have been
there all day and could not get in.

High Waters Do Damage.

We mentioned last week that the
Sandy Lick creek had overhowed its
banks and the small streams hereabouts
were on the rampage, but the creek did
not reach It's highest stage until
Wednesday evening. The lowlands
above and below town were inundated,
and the people living on poverty fiat"
and on the west end OF Jackson
street could only get out Of their homes
In skiffs. The Ross House had a couple
OF inches Of water on the first floor, and
II was impossible to walk from the
bridge to A. " R'y, as the water was
three feet deep on the street in some
places. A couple Of enterprising boys
run skiif to carry people over for a
nickel, and the hotel buses were always
crowded going TO and from trains.
Some OF the dwellings on railroad
street, near Soldier Run, were inundated
and the families were compelled to va
cate their homes.
The dam at the old Swartz MILL on
Trout Run, bursted, causing some
damage to property The mill dam at
Prescottville bursted in three places,
causing considerable damage.
The supervisors of Winslow township
have quite a number Of washouts to re-
pair on various portions of the township
roads, and two bridges to replace, one
over Trout Run and another at Big
Soldier. 1t will cost the township be-
tween 5000 and $400 to repair the dam
ages done by the high water.
The Reynoldsville & Falls Creek Rail-
way was submerged under a couple of
feet of water from the west end of Jack
son street to the company store and a
number of places between Reynoldsville
and Falls Creek. 1t was impossible to
get trains over the road on Wednesday
and Thursday, and consequently there
was no coal shipped out from Tuesday
| until Friday,

J.V. Young to Build Silk Mill.

James V. Young, u contractor of this
place, has taken the contract to erect
the brick buildings for the silk plant.
Mr. Young will begin the work this
week. The buildings are to be COM
pleted in time to start the mill not later
than August lst. The machinery is to
be put in as soon as the roof is on the
main building. Mr.. Place is anxious to
get the mill in operation.
On Thursday the ground was staked
off for the silk mill. 1t will be built so
that an extension of Fifth street will
run directly to the mill.
Mr.. Place returned to New York
Saturday. He will be here again inside
of two weeks.
