this business was not over large it failed
to materially affect prices.

in the week that the crop was making sat

also informed them in choice
Spanish, intermixed with many
curse words, that he intended to kill

up their feeli gs all he could, he ad-

he ran towards them swiftly turning
somersault. He struck the gong a
blow that, in the deep canon, roared
like thunder and was handed back

cliff. This broke the Gentle of the Apa-

A DELICATE WORK
Pathfinder'S Instruments
in Judiciary Grounds.
the DETECTION In the Bearing
OF Their Compasses.

Officers from the coast survey ship
have erected a tent under the great
banyan tree behind the Judiciary
Building, and are engaged there
in testing certain of their instruments,
and also are determining the magnetic
declination which these islands pro-
duce in their compasses. This is to
discover the true bearing of the COM
pass, so that it may be set straight in
their calculations for the coast survey
work here. The delicately balanced
needle in the instrument is set with its
edges in a vertical position just oppo-
site to the adjustment of a compass
ton. The dip of this keenly sensitive
magnetic needle is to discover the dip
below the horizontal position in the
compass.
The Hawaiian Islands on account OF
their volcanic origin, the officers state,
afford a great deal of magnetic at
their calculations very much and this
instrument discovers the attraction OF
the magnetic force as well as its in
tensity.
The constant passage of bicycles
along. the pathway near the place
where the instrument has been set up,
is annoying in making tests, as he

eur in the needle.

Some Testimony Taken in the Case of
Casey VS.. Anderson EFT AL.
The trial of the suit entitled George
II. Casey against A. Anderson and
others, involving the title to a portion
or the Hesperus lode, was resumed in
Judge Lindsay's department of the dis
trict court yesterday morning and pro-
ceeded with so far as the defendant,
John Hickey, is concerned. The trial
was not, however, concluded, although
an evening session of court was held
and 1t will be again taken up this
morning.
Antoine Hoffsneider was the first wit
ness for the defendant and he testified
substantially that he had been ac-
quainted with the premises in dispute
since the year 1885, and that in that
year he assisted the defendant in the
construction of cabin situated on the
property, which cabin is still standing
and has since been occupied by Hickey.
The defendant stated to the jury that
he enclosed the ground in controversy
in 1885 by constructing a substantial
fence; that in the same year he built
the cabin referred to by the first wit
ness and has since been in open. no.
torious and adverse possession of the
property. He also stated that he had
at no time recognized the title of any
other person and had not been dis
turbed In his possession until the COM
mencement of this suit
On cross-examination Mr.. Hickey tes-
titled that so far as dates We're con-
cerned his memory was not the best
He was asked If the land on which he
built had not been pointed out to him
by Michael A. Hickey, at that time the
ostensible owner of the Hesperus, and
he replied that the Mr. Hickey named
accompanied him to the ground, but
that upon being informed that the lat
ter had no title to the land he refused
to have anything more to do with him
and declined to listen to him further.
The testimony of the defendant was
fatty oontradicted by M. A. Hickey.
the latter stating that he had pointed
out to the defendant where to build
and, in addition to that, had assisted
the defendant in the construction of his
cabin. He also stated that the defend
ant at no time disputed his right to
the ground.
II. L. Mahoney was also sworn for the
defense and testified in effect that the
fence surrounding the ground was not
built until 1891.
Numerous other witnesses testified on
behalf of the parties to the suit The
trial will probably be concluded to-day.
