A FORTUNE ON THE WHARF
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS LEFT
IN A VALISE.
r. B. Banning Loses 1t in San Fran
cisco and 1t is Shipped Here by Mis-
take.

r. b. Banning, who left here August
30th, on the steamship Australia, lost a
valise containing nearly $4,000 in bank
notes, bonds and sugar stocks in the
Occidental hotel, just after he arrived
in San Francisco. The Valise was ship
ped by mistake on the Nippon Maru,
as part of the personal effects of pur-
ser John Piver. The latter discovered
the mistake before arriving here Cnd
left the valise on the Pacific Mail
wharf He evidently had no idea of the
value of the contents of the valisc as
he made no report to the steamship.
company's agents, and the valisc con-
tanning a small fortune lay compare
lively unprotected among other uncall-
ed for packages, until advices received
yesterday by the Belgian King resulted
in a search being made.
The lost valise was found by Mr..
Schultze of Hackfed & Company
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth was sent
for and the valise was opened. The
first thing found was a bundle of i59
shares of Honokaa stock. worth some
thing like $25,000 No further examin-
alton of the contents was made. The
Valise was taken nto the office of Hack
field & Company and sealed in the pres
ence of the deputy marshal. 1t is now
held at the police station, awaiting tie
orders of the owner, who is considered
| remarkably lucky in getting it back
after such a mistake. The stean chip
| company officers are at a loss to ac-
| count for the occurrence.
Mr. Banning registered at the Occi-
dental at 10 o'clock on the morning o1
| the fifteenth. At two o'clock in the
afternoon he discovered that his valise
was missing and he reported to Major
Hooper, the manager, that he had been
| robbed. The police were called upon
and an investigation was quickly made
| resulting in the discovery that the val
| Use had gone through the Golden Gate
on the Nippon Maru, only three hours
after it had arrived on the Australia.
| The mistake was made by a porter
of the Occidental hotel. Mr.. Banniug's
] valise was near the baggage of PGrsel

steamer with three other valises be-
longing to the purser. There wGs i

STEAMERS EARN SALVAGE.
THE BARK COLUSA SAVED FROM
DESTRUCTION.
The Maui and the Kinau Drag Her off
the Reef at Kahului.-Maui Works
Thirteen Hours.

The steamers Maui and Kinau of the
Wilder company, have a salvage claim
for several thousand dollars against the
bark Colusa, which they hauled off the
reef near Kahului yesterday morning
No negotiations regarding the salN age
have yet been made but 1t is estimated
that the amount due is something like
$4, 900. A part of this will probably go
to Captains Mcdonald and Clark of the
Maui and Kinau and their crews. The
Colusa carried a cargo worth about
$50, 900 and is worth about 100000. She
went aground at a dangerous point
about 600 yards from where the old
Leahi went to pieces The Maui work.
ed to save her from over thirteen hours.
The Colusa was observed to be in too
close before she struck by the people
on shore. Pilot English was on the bark
John Smith. He hoisted a warning flag,
which Captain Ewarts of the Colusa
saw, but too late. Just after the order
had been givn to stand away from shore
the Colusa struck the center of her
bottom being caught hard and fast on
the reef.
Captain Macdonald of the Maui was
the first to go to the bark's assistance
and but for the breaking of a hawser
he would have released her without the
aid OF the Kinau. The Colusa was TAX
ing in water at the rate of four inches
an hour, showing that considerable
damage had been caused by striking
the reef. The Maui moved her forward
about Is feet and then the hawser part
ed. Before another attempt could be
made the swelling sea had lifted the
unlucky bark fifty feet farther inshore
and Captain Ewarts was preparing to
throw the cargo overheard. He was
dissuaded from doing so by ]. p. Cooke
and w. j. LOwrie, who strenuously OBJ
jected. The Colusa had the first con-
signment of waterpipe for the new
Spreckelsville plant and the loss of the
pipe would have set the plantation back
a year.
About fifty tons of cargo were taken
from the vessel and landed safely on
shore, with the exception of one 80 inch
pipe, worth about $75, which was lost in
the sea. The Maui and Kinau were
steadily tugging at her all the time
and at midnight on Saturday she began
to move. Soon she was safe in deep
water and the Maui started for Hono-
lulu. The Maui towed the Colusa into
| Kahului harbor and was delayed so
that she did not arrive here until after
| six o'clock last night
The COluSaS plight was witnessed by
large number of people on shore. in
Guiding the passengers of the Maui.
They waved handkerchiefs and cheered
as the latter, tugging alone, began to
move her and sympathized with Cap
tain Macdonald when the breaking of
his hawser deprived him of the glory
and benefit of doing the job of saving
the vessel alone.
When the Claudine arrived here yes
terday morning with news of the Colu-
sa's danger the L. S. tug IroquOis start
ed for Kahului, but she returned after
meeting the kinau and learning that
the bark was saved

A cane fire occurred at Paia on Tues
day evening last, which. had cnndi-
tions been different might have result
ed seriously. 1t happened in a large
held of plant cane adjoining the man
ayers house, and quite close 10 the
camp. The cane was green, SO the
flames made way slowly and being
early in the evening large gang from
the camp was quickly on hand and
smothered it before an acre had been
burned. Had the cane been dry, aud a
wind blowing, the flames must have
cut through the width of the field and
possibly endangered the camp. The
fire is supposed to have been starte d
accidentally.
