holders have satisfied themselves that

IN THE OUTSKIRTS.

The bridge over Waikiki stream,
near Long Branch resort broke down
in the center, dropping a piece Of Tram
track. From that time on for several
hours the street railways passengers
on the Waikiki run had to be content
with a service to the bridge instead of
to the park.
The Tram Company had to take its
stock from the stables in Kalihi, near
Kamehameha school. All Of the build
ings at the Kamehameha school are
on high ground and were not reached.
A number of residences in the locality
had water on the ground floor. Kalihi
stream was on the rampage. The water
was almost to the bridge. Antoine

NOT A CLOUDBURST.

After a few definite reports and loss
estimates ON rainfall mauka had been
received the cloudburst theory that had
at first been generally accepted was
quickly put aside. The precipitation
at the Government Electric Light Sta
ton for the day was six inches and half
and all but about an inch and half
of this fell between II and 1890. The
fall was almost as heavy in all parts
of Nuuanu valley well into town and
in all other valleys on either side Of
Nuuanu the precipitation was heavier
any record that has been kept. The
fall right in the city was almost as
heavy as on Saturday afternoon last,
though there were series of down
pours instead of one sharp shower.
None of the kamaainas with whom re-
porters for the Advertiser were able to
fetch up yesterday would undertake to
say that they recollected such rain
on Oahu. In the business part OF town
Fort and Alakea streets were the worst
Below Merchant on Fort the water was
on the sidewalks and almost in the
stores. The intersection of Alakea an6
King had the lake that it always shows
when there is rain, but this time ii
was deeper and bigger. The tram cars
ploughed gaily through it.
Kewalo and large portion Of Ka-
kaako were inundated. There were
streams of water on Wilder Avenue
Piikoi and Keeaumoku streets. The
rain in Punahou and Waikiki was very
heavy and residents were put to much
inconvenience.
The rainfall recorded at Eva was
I217 inches.
