PLKA ON THE RAILROAD'KAUAI SWEPT BY STORM
THREE TRAINS BLoCKADED THIS
MORNING.
Two More Washouts Occurred last
Night-A small land Slide Reported
near Waimea

The Oahu railroad appears to have
been the chief sufferer from the recent
storm, for in addition to there being
washouts at two different points of the
line, the roadbed was covered for some
distance near Waianae. Three trains
were blockaded this morning and all
hopes of running them for hours had to
be abandoned. The farther end of the
island was cut off entirely from COM
munication with Honolulu and for a
time 1t looked as If no supplies could
be gotten to the Waialua hotel or the
Kahuku and other plantations In that
district.
Train No. 4 was held up near Keaau
yesterday morning by a big washout.
A work train was dispatched to the
scene for the purpose of repairing the
damage so that No. could come on
with her passengers and through traffic
be resumed. The damage proved to be
greater than had been anticipated and
as the day wore along and there was
no relief, No. was sent down to Ke-
aau yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of transferring passengers and
freight. Unfortunately however while
the relief train was waiting, a portion
of the track between there and Homo
lulu was washed out leaving No. IN
even worse a predicament than No.
for the latter could have returned to
Waialua.
Beyond Waialua however there was
more trouble for a small part of the
track was washed out and some more
was covered by a land slide. These
conditions effectually shut off travel
between the terminal points and no at
tempt could be made to transport the
large amount of freight which the COM
pany has in charge.
A message at noon today was more
encouraging however for it stated that
the WaSlOutS this side of Waial1a
would be repaired within the course OF
several hours, in time for the afternoon
train. 1t was decided accordingly tC
dispatch the regular train. The extent
of the damage at Waimea was not de-
finitely ascertained.

A WORSE KoNA THERE THAN IN
HONOLULU.
Inter-Island Steamers have Difficulty
in Keeping off Shore-The Makee's
Rough trip.

The island of Kauai had harder gale
than oahu had and with even heavier
rains than Honoluluans have seen dur
ing the past few days. The storm that
reached here late last Wednesday night
struck Kauai at two o'clock in the af-
ternoon, and several inter-island steam
ers had all they could do to keep off the
reefs. Captain Tullett of the James
Makee, which returned here this MORN
ing, says that the wind was the highest
he has ever known here.
The Noeau was at Hanamaulu when
the blow came and she put to sea for
safety She had all she could do to get
away from shore. The Waialeale at
Anahola had the same experience and
the Ke Au Hou and gasoline schooner
Surprise also had to hold on with all
the anchor chain they had. The James
Makee had two anchors out.
The wind blew with such force that It
blew in one of the Makee's cabin win
dows and the rain fell in torrents.
Kauai people say it was the heaviest
rain for many years.
On the return trip the Makee was
flooded by seas all the time. Some of
her sugar was wet and damaged when
she arrived and an insurance claim will
be made.

The fish market has been no

fore. 1t is interesting in a different way.
Ihe usual Friday throngs were there,
and though there was less to buy, and
no variety to select from the bargain
ing went on just the same: the price had
gone up. The alteration of buyer and
seller was loud and demonstra tive. It
was babel chorus that went up into
the spans and trusses of the roof of the
market Not a purchase was made be-
fore the buyer had assured the seller
that the money demanded was Too
much This assurance was usually
given several times before a bargain
was struck. Usually customers went
from stall to stall before making pur-
chase seeking lower price. The seller
smiled serenely at all this, knowing
that the supply was much less than the
demand and that the buyer would even
tuaily have to pay the price asked
The price for small purchases OF mui-
let today were anywhere from thirty to
! forty cents pound. For little larger
purchases the price ranged from twen-
ty-seven or twenty-eight cents a pound
| TO thlrty cents. Lots that weighed any
where from five to five and a half

THE RAILROAD TORN Up
AMERICAN SUGAR COMPANY
TIES AND RAILS.
Brought Here on the Schooner Alice
Kimball-The Schooner. Out in the
Kona.

The schooner Alice Kimball, Captain
Mason, arrived yesterday from Kauna-
kakal, after very rough trip, with
1000 railroad ties and several tons of
rails which We're used on the road laid
down by the unlucky American Sugar
company. The railroad has been torn
up. 1t was laid when the prospects
of the company seemed good, and when
work was going ahead on the plan
tatlon, which has since been given up
on account of lack of water. The ties
are all in rood condition and can be
used again.
The tearing up of a railroad once
built and the abandonment of a sugar
enterprise are new things i'm Hawaii.
where the list of failures of this sort
is a very short one.
The Alice Kimball was out during
all the heavy storm. The little schoon-
er left Molokaai at noon on Wednes-
day, and she was off Oahu during the
full force of the Kona which struck
the island the following night. She
was carried away and did not make the
harbor till afternoon yesterday.
During the storm the seas ran clear
over the schooner. Her fOresail. jill
and flying jib were torn by the wind
and her deck load began to shift, but
Captain Mason had it fastened. The
rails that cost the American Sugar
| Company stockholders so dearly made
very good ballast, and the little Vesse
| rode the storm well.
The schooner made a record coming
! in the harbor yesterday. She had tn,
dying force of the kona behind her fo
a breeze, and the full force of the swell
it had raised. The waves lifted he
| along, and she came down the channe
| to safety in fine style.

THE ROSoIrET FINED.

An appeal has been made to Wash
ington against the fine of 81 900 imposed
by collector Stackable on the French
bark Bosquet, for failing to enter at
the custom house within "a hours after
her arrival here. She put in at Homo
lulu on her way to the coast, her cap
tain being sick. He was taken to the
hospital and the fine was imposed, as
pired without any entry being made.
The fine was paid and the treasury de-
partment is asked to reduce the amount
as there was evidently no intent to
break the law. The statute does not
provide for any less fine than that
which the collector imposed.

.A. Y. GEAR MAKES REPLY
WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT PUBLISH
ED CERTIFICATES.
Denies knowledge of the Men who sign
Them-Brands Their Stories as False
Unknown Men.

In the matter of the certificate pub
lished by the Advertiser this morning,
in which it was alleged that A. V. Gear
had solicited and paid for the circula-
tion of petitions to replace Henry Wat
erhouse's name with his on the sena-
torial ticket, Mr.. Gear said this morn
ing:
with regard to the first letter in
the Advertiser, that of one w. H. Ka-
humoku, 1 have only to say that l do
not know the writer, never saw HMM
fact, never heard of him before and
neither l nor any friends of mine, to
my knowledge, ever paid him cent
for circulating any petition in my be-
half, nor was he promised anything.
The story about his coming to me, etc,
is pure fiction. l do not know the man.
Il believe that some of the men sign
ing the second letter did work in get
ting signatures to petitions to bring
me out as a candidate l think this,
because on petitions that came in to
me l have found their names. If they
did work for me, and 1 believe they
did, it was at the request of friend.
of mine or on their own hook I never
paid any one of them a cent, and never
promised them anything. If they re-
ceived anything for their work, it was
from Jealous friends of mine"
Mr.. Gear intimated that there was
something very peculiar about the pub
lished letters, and was asked if he
thought they were faxed up by the Ad-
vertiser, or by the friends of that pa
per. "Well, 1 do not like to say. The
statements in the letters are false. The
men, for the most part, are strangers
to me. The letters have the appear
ance of being genuine. At the samt
time it seems strange any men should
lend themselves to statements that are
so untrue

IORE TROUBLE NEAR THE
WATER FRONT.
Sea Water Seeping into Sewer on three
Streets-Mr. McCandless Thinks trou-
BILE will be Remedied.

Despite the great care taken by the
contractors there is a big leakage in the
sewer and considerable work will have
to be done before it viii be up to the
government requirement.
Yesterday Superintendent of Public
w OrkS McCandleSS reported to the eXe>
cutive that there was a leak in the
sewer system. In reference to the mat
ter he said today: "In the governments S
contract with the builders of the sewer
system allowance was made for a fair
leakage of ten gallons a minute. If
this should be exceeded to 60 gallons
there should be a penalty attached and
in case the amount of water flowing in
to the receiving tank at the pumping
station should be greater than this
amount the government need not ac-
cept the work. As a matter of fact
the leakage was 162 gallons a minute.
but this has decreased considerably
Mr.. Edwards the engineer in charge OF
the work stated that he thought there
would be a material decrease. 1t has
been found that the worst leakage oc-
ours in the sections from Fort street
from Halehauwila to the custom house.
Alakea street from Halehauwila to the
water front, and Militant street maukI
from Halekauwila. These are below sea
level and the water which comes
through is not from recent rains, for
ii is perfectly clear
IF 1t were the waters from the fresh
cts that flowed into the sewer there
would be hopes of their remedying the
trouble for the mud and various sedi-
ment would stop up the small crevices
On the other hand the salt i'm the water
which is now entering the sewer will
it is said form crustations and event
ually check the seepage
The contractors have taken the ut
most care i'm constructing cau-.,
system and instructed their men to ne.
glect no part of the work so the pre-
| sent trouble will I think be speedy re.

Charles City. Oct. The work OF

will undoubtedly amount to $50. 900,
showing that for the past Ave years
SO 900 have annually been withheld

The investigation has revealed some
curious and startling facts. Among
them is an estate carrying $4,000 OF

ssessed. "a number Of capitalists have
paid taxes amounting to thousands OF
dollars. while there are many who have
