new road in North HilO in the vicinity
| of Laupahoehoe was made apparent to
Manager Walker and his wife on Sun
| day last They had been spending the
day with Manager McClennan and fam
| lily, and on their return drive had a
narrow escape from death.
MIR. Walker was driving double
team and when above LaupahOehoe on
that part of the road running along the
steep embankment, they were met by
two men on bicycles. The horses SHE'D
and in a moment became unmanage-
able. Mrs. Walker jumped from the
carriage and escaped injury, but Mr..
Walker remained and tried to control
his horses. AS they became more frac-
tious, he, too, jumped just as the wheels
were on the edge of the road next the
precipice Horses and carriage went
over and one Of the horses was killed
in the fall
New postofice
The accepted plan of the new postof-

mail wagons will drive, it is very sim |
liar to the postoffice in Honolulu. The |
ground plan shows rooms for savings |
bank, money order, delivery spaces, [
etc, but the architects overlooked q |
stamp window. Attention was called /
to the defect by Postmaster Severance
last week when he returned the plans |
