ONE new ESTATE
Much Activity in the At
fairs of Maunalei.
Flowing and Clearing-Lunnber and
LaborerS-Pumpin Station
Railway.

J. w. l.. Marshall, the supsrinten-
dent, and W. ID. Lowell, the chief engi-
neer, left yesterday afternoon for the
new Maunalei plantation on Lanai.
The gentlemen first visit Maui. where
they will negotiate with one of the
largest plantations for locomotives and
rails The Maui estate in question is
about to install wider guage railway
than at present used, and for this rea-
son will have on hand surplus track,
engines and rolling stock Maunalei
will save in both first cost and trans
portatiOn.
Engineer Lowell visited Honolulu for
the purpose of assisting Gear, Lansing
& Co., the plantation promoters and
agents, in the selection of engines, ETC.,
for pumping plants. Several tenders
have been submitted. 1t is the inten-
ton to install pumping station No. /
within three months, if possible. There
will be for the station six artesian
wells. These are now being bored.
Experimental wells have turned out
satisfactorily The station. with its
six wells, is TO furnish 100000 gal
Ions Of water daily.
About a week ago a shipment of
twenty-five mules was made to Mauna-
lei from Honolulu. This and other
stock is used in clearing the land and
later.
There has so far been shipped TO
Maunalei 100000 feet of lumber and
1000 feet more will go up this week.
A number of buildings for the labor
ers and other purposes have been con-
structed. The lumber is carried in
schooners.
The wharf for Maunalei is TO be
built without delay. 1t will be 500 feet
long and John Ouderkirk is the con-
tractor Mr.. Ouderkirk will begin work
on the wharf before the end of the
month.
Mr.. Gear, Mr.. Lansing, NJ +. Gray and
others actively engaged in forwarding
Maunalei, busy themselves these days
enlisting labor for the estate. The
men are secured in town, though an
order has gone abroad for a party OF
| large size. One day last week forty
men were shipped On Monday of this
week, twenty more were sent and forty
will go by the steamer Maui tomOr-
row.
Planting at Maunalei is to begin in
| Juns or July. In the meantime the
clearing of land and blowing and gen
eral preparation will continue right
| along

WORK OF NCENDIARlES.
Attempt Made TO Burn a Lloyd street
House.

An attempt was made to burn down house
on West Lloyd street Saturday and the
preparations for IL were so well made that IL
took very prompt action TO save the property.
The affair was shielded from publicity duIiDg
Saturday in the hope that something might
leak out 10 give the police clue upon which
to work tracer 10 the guilty parties, but
there have been no developments and it Is
not likely that the ineendiaries will be
caught.
The house referred to is a two-story and
basement dwelling on the south side Of the
street aud few doors west of Chestnut
str Ell It is owned by the Columbia Brew
ing Company There are several theories in
connection with the affair, but the parties
ent ortaing them are not disposed to give
them publicity.
The story given of the affair is that be-
TIVE en- and o'clock Saturday morning two
men were seen to hurriedly leave the base
meut of the building. Their actions were Of
a 81 uspicous nature, yet the people who wit
messed the departure did not become con-
cerued until smoke was seen issuing from the
basement. This was several minutes after
the two men had disappeared
| Among the first to discover the ire was
Councilman Peter Harkins. He, with sew
eral other men, hurried over to the basement.
/ Upon entering they found fire gaining rapid
| headway and the flames had already at
tackled the wainscoting. Fortunately the
fire had not progressed to an extent beyond
the contrsl of a bucket brigade, but a
delay of but few minutes more
would in all probability have proved
disastrous to the property, as the front
room of the basement was filled with coal oil
soaked rubbish and the building is frame
structure that was erected many years ago
1t would have afforded good material for q
fire
The residents of the vicinity became en-
ragged when they learned of the facts and tn,
perpetrators of the deed would have fareC

While Stanny Lasitzki was riding on an
accommodation trip to his work Saturday, in
the slope of North Franklin colliery.
TrevortOn, three sets of timber suddenly fell
down, covering the unfortunate PolandeI
beneath tons of coal. Several companions
went to his immediate assistance, who after
diligent work released him from his perilous
position. The fallen timber had formed a
roof over him, which saved him from having
his life crushed out.

1899 NOW.
Ushered in with the Coolest weather Of
the Season.

With bowling winds. bitterly cold tempen-
ture and drifting snow storm the eventful
year Of 1898 went out Of existence at mid
night Saturday, aud the new year ushered in.
Although the severity Of the weather kept
the streets clear Of people during the early
hours Of the night, the elements were defed
as the midnight hour drew near and with the
changing Of bells, the shrieking of colllery
whistles, blasts Of tin horns, rattle Of FIRE
arms and the joyful shouts Of multitudes
1898 was duly installed
The storm that started SATURDAY. morning
proved the seyerest Of the season. Il
crippled the electric railway lines and caused
most Of the people to cling to the fresides Of
their homes when necessity did not require
them to venture out
The irrepressible serenaders were out
during the early hours of this morning,
among them the choirs Of several churches.
They visited several places, but the stops
were brief as music did not seem TO have the
charm to soothe the breast Of Jack Frost and
there was some danger of their sweet notes
being frozen as quickly as enunciated.
