it's third reading with bills u and "A,
while this was number 7, and only UP
to it's second reading, the charge or
railroading the measure seemed some
what irrelevant.
Emmeluth further insinuated that
the bill was being introduced and
rushed through to further the interests
of the Hawaiian Electric Company.
Hoogs, the introducer of the bill,
took up the gauntlet and replied with
some heat that on every occasion on
which he had met his great and good
! friend McCandless.' that gentleman
had shown his opposition to the mea-
sure, which alone should be enough to
run the bill through. Hearty applause
greeted these remarks, and the two
gentlemen glowered at each other and
subsidized. The committee report was
adopted.
Three acts; ID to claim damages for
persons imprisoned in 1895; ca to re-
peal certain laws relative to the right
of dover, and ca relative to vehicles
and driving, passed their third reading.
(! The House then went into a commit
tee of the whole, with Dickey as char
/ tee of the whole, with Dickey as chair
/ off and smoking was the order of the
! day. Gilfillan sent a generous supply
of cigars over to the press table, and
every one settled down for COM
/ Portable afternoon.
The following sections of the bill
were amended, the rest, up to section
6, chapter TX, including those deferred
from Tuesday, were passed as printed
| with one or two slight typographical
| amendments.
Section 1, chapter VIII; the Sheriff's
bond was raised from $4,000 to $1,000.
| sections 2, 3, 4, 5, chapter IX where

possessing certain powers vested in the
sheriff, and executing similar duties,

was altered to read first deputy sher-
iff," in place of coroner.
| Mossman attempted to strike out the
sentence in section providing for the
imprisonment of non-attendant jurors,
in default of their payment of the $40
fine provided.
Makekau wanted to wnow what 1t all
meant, and an explanation followed.
The amendment was carried, and Ma
kekau made a further discovery, to the
effect that he had voted without know
ing what he was doing
Mossman made motion, which was
carried, to reduce the fine from $40 to
SO.
Makekau then asked for a reconsid-
Grafton, and the Imprisonment clause
was replaced.
pervisors' bond to $1,000 was carried,
but afterwards reconsidered, bringing
the bond back to the original amount
of $1,000.
The committee then took a recess
until 1850 this evening
Akina resuming the chair. adjourned
the House without reading the Cow
