There is considerable speculation in wheat on
the Paris market. The bakers have increased
the price OF the four pound loaf OF bread by

THE AZB|LL CASE AGAIN
JUDGE GEAR REFUSES A NEW
TRIAL.
Money Paid Into Court Pending an
Appeal and the Writ of Execution is
Stayed.

The Azbill-Levy case had another
hearing in Judge Gears court this
morning, on a motion of the defendant
for a new trial. The motion was denied
after some lively arguing, and Azbill
paid into court the sum of SlO0 as secu-
rity on appeal to the Supreme Court.
The fight over the $3.50 paid by Levy
wakes hot and bitter.
Attorney Magoon claimed that there
had been errors in the trial and that the
judgement was contrary to the evidence
The Rev. Azbill said he wanted to make
a statement, and Magoon sat down to
allow him to do so, while Davis jumped
up with a fiery objection. Gear said he
would allow Azbill to speak.
II am always glad to hear the Rev.
Azbill in the pulpit or at any other
time" said Davis, but l want to get
through with this case"
'"The court made the remark that II
considered Mr.. Azbills course unbecom-
ing to a gentleman of his profession and
it still thinks so and is not going to re-
fuse him a chance to be heard" said
Judge Gear.
A bill began by saying he thought
he had a right to speak, but the court
said he had counsel and was only al
lowed to speak by courtesy. The min
lister then made a lengthy statement
of the transaction with Levy, covering
| the various points brought out in the
testimony He claimed that Levy had
misrepresented the attitude Of Wat, =
! house and Company, and said that
| Judge Edings, acting for Levy, had ad-
vised the latter to accept Azbilrs lease
Judge Gear held to his decision that
the contract for which $3.50 was paid
was one which Azbill could not perform
| and refused to allow a new trial, or ia
hear further argument. Davis. how
ever, got in speech giving some au-
| thorities and some digs at Azbill

CAPTAIN sORENCEN MAKES
DISCOVERY.
Elder Brother Who Shipped From Den
mark Thirty-one Years Ago Found
Here as Able Seaman.

Thirty-one years ago an elder brother
of Captain Ludwig Screen of the Am
erican schooner f. M. Slade, shipped
from Denmark and disappeared as
completely as if the sea had swallow
ed him up. For thirty-one years the
family OF the missing sailor mourned
him. Day before yesterday, through a
strange succession of events, Captain
Sorencen discovered his long lost broth
er in Honolulu and Immediately took
possession of him. The history of the
separation is one of the most romantic
of sea-faring life.
1t was in 1870 that Frederick Soren.
cen shipped in a vessel from Aahus,
Denmark for England. He was 16 years
of age then and Captain Sorencen was
a boy of only IA years. Captain So
rencen says he remembers distinctly
going down to the quay to bid his
brother farewell. This was the las
heard from the youth. The family
mourned their boy as lost. Only the
mother of the boy did not entirely dis
pair and every time that her son Lud-
wig would leave on a voyage she would
ask him to keep q sharp lookout for
missing Frederick.
Day before yesterday Captain Soren-
cen was sitting in Wilder's Ship Chand
lery and happening to glance outside,
saw man who looked familiar. So
rencen studied the features of the mar
and observed a likeness to his ow
father. The thought that perhaps it
might be his long lost brother flashed
through his mind and going outside he
questioned the stranger.
The stranger said that his name was
Sanderson. SOrenson felt disappointed
and started to turn away but still he
felt as if there was something the
stranger was keeping back so he per-
sisted and asked if Sanderson was his
real name. The man replied that 1t
was Frederick Sorencen. Then Capital
Sorencen made himself known to his
brother. 1t appears that the lost broth
er was member of the bark Empire
which was burned off Mahukona some
weeks ago and came here with that
crew. He had shipped in the j. b
Thomas to go to the Sound and but
for an accident mioht never have met
his brother. Captain Sorencen took
his brother aboard the Slade and will
look after his future.
During his career on the seas ,Soren-
sen has had, a varied career. He has
served twelve years in the American
navy, having four discharges. He was
on the Trenton when that vessel was
in the hurricane at Apia some years
ago when the American and British lost
several war vessels. He has been in
other ship wrecks. The brothers had
their pictures taken together and will
forward it to their old mother back in
Aahus.

TWO SUITS TO CONTEST THE
LAW.
George II. Robertson and the Waimea
Sugar Company Put up Two Per Cent
of Their Incomes.

The first payments of income taxes
were made this morning under protest
for the purpose of bringing the Suit to
test the law. George II. Robertson ana
the Waimea Sugar Company paid their
taxes and each has prepared a suit to
recover the money on the ground that
the income tax law is unconstitutional.
Robertson sues as an Individual and
the Wanna Company as a corporation,
so that the law will be tested for both
classes Of taxpayers. Robertsons state
ment showed his net income to have
been $6,545.50, so that he had to pay an
income tax of $l30.91. The Waimea Com
pany paid s147.4O on 1870. w. o. Smith
and o. Lewis, attorneys for the plain
tiffs, and A. G.. NJ. Robertson, who re-
presents the government, have agreed
upon a statement of the facts, which
will be submitted to the Supreme Court
at the special term to begin naxt Mon
day.
