Just then procession began TO pass

pressed TO the iron railing TO see and

between the strong bars and was de-

4 short distance above this company,
just at the top Of the incline on which
they were all standing, was n large
truck piled high with heavy trunks,
no one attending It.
BY some means This truck was start
ed down the incline. Unguided, and
with rapidly increasing momentum, it
ran straight for the preOccupipd com
pany at the railing.
A loud cry of warning rang through
the station. Every one ran from the
impending death. The negro boy alone
remained struggling wildly, but in
vain, TO draw his head from between
the bars. Instantly the quick eye OF
the newsbOy, who had jumped to one
side. took in the situatiOn-certain

one OF the new Improvements in
PRODUCED by the o. X. q l.. Co. Is the
portable telephone. This is an ar
which may be carried on
every train. BY throwing a wire over
the telephone line and connecting it
with the machine and another with the
ground, communication is at once es-
tablshed. One of these will be carried
on every train that goes out. The con-
ductors will be required to test them
every day 10 ascertain whether they
are in good working order These in
strumCn,s are carried by few of the
roads in the States. The reason for
THU, is that nearly all the lines OF com
muniCatiOn paralleling the roads are
telegraph. Consequently as there are
few of the regular attaches Of a train
who are telcgraphers such machine
would be useless. They are especially
valuable in the case of accident. BY
this means the Office Is at once in
formed as TO the nature of the disaster
and where II occurred. This Is another
incident which shows that the o. X. &

Letter Of Warm Appreciation
from an Engineer.

from an bnpincST.
Honolulu, II. l., April Is. 1890.
1t gives me great pleasure TO an
nounce on behalf Of the Battalion Of
Engineers lately stationed at Waikiki,
our thanks and appreciation for the
kind treatment and hospitality shown
our members during our stay while in
the service Of the L. $. Government.
Ever since the day we landed, the
18th day of August. 1898, the most
friendly feelings have been shown to-
wards US, invitations have been quite
numerous during our whole stay to at
tend dinners, social gatherings, etc.
And in general, We have never be
fore witnessed such interest as the
people Of these Islands have taken to-
wards us. 1t has not only been with
us, but other troops passing through
here have received due consideration.
Subsequent to our arrival some OF the
boys contracted climatic fevers. Here
Is where the ladies worked herolcally
to supply the sick with delicacies, com
fort and good advice. Continued
thanks Is extended for our repast, on
Thanksgiving Day, all due to the
thoughtful ladies. We do not know
how to return the fayors only in this
simple acknowledgment Of our appre-
citation. Many of us expect TO return
shortly however, and make our future
home amongst you, while those who
drift to other places will always re-
member the Hawaiian Islands, with a
great Metropolis, as country contain
ing the wealth, the resources, the brave
men, the fair ladies, the patriotism and
the energy, to surprise the civilized
world.
Once more we thank you all for your
Kindness and though we might feel
happy that change Is taking place,
we feel equally as sorry, Maybe we
might not meet again, but we will al
ways remember that land so distant
and secluded from the mainland.
