SALE Of DAMAGED GOODS FREE DELIVERY TUESDAY
FIRE MERCHANDISE GOES UNDER
THE HAMMER.
Hall & Sons Debris Being Removed.
Some Hardware VIII Turn out All
Right-Will be Sold.

Mating ana other damaged goods in
the store of Levers & Cooke were sold
this morning by Morgan under lnstruc-
tions of the underwriters. Fire"
prices were realized. These goods were
damaged by water only, there having
been no fire actually in the building.
Some of the goods were about as good
as new.
This is the first sale of goods damaged
by the E. o. Hall & Sons fire of Tues
day morning.
The work of clearing away the de-
bris from the Hall corner began in
good earnest yesterday morning. The
brick which composed the King street
wall are piled up at the curb line ready
for use in the new building which will
soon take the place of the one destroy
ed.
1t was found that there was an i'm
mense amount of water within the
foundation walls and a pump run by a
gasoline engine was at once rigged up,
and within an hour was pumping a
three inch stream.
The work of clearing away the de-
bris within the walls of the building
disclosed the fact that an immense
amount of the stock has been only
partially damaged. Gross after gross
of knives and other articles of cutlery
We're eXhumed of which the paper
packages and wrappings were not des-
troyed. Files, saws, bits and braces,
squares, chisels, cutlery and all kinds
of tools and implements were dug up
bearing various degrees of disfigure-
ment and evidence that they had been
through a fire and yet many of them
apparently little injured so far as SER
viceability is concerned.
1t is probble that an immense guam
tity of stuff will be taken from the ruins
with enough value in it to justify be-
ing sent to the auction rooms.
The makai and the Waikiki walls of
injured and it is possible they may be
building.
The debris from e. o. Hall & Sons
place is being removed today. Charred
lumber and goods apparently destroyed
completely are being moved to Kakaa-
ko. There the pile will be gone over
again and anything that may appear to
be of value will be taken out. 1t Is ex-
pected that considerable hardware will
be taken out in the debris, some of
which may still be servicable.
OF this class of goods Mr. Hall said
eve have decided to take them to oui
warehouse on Allen street where they
will be looked over. Anything of value
will be taken out and turned over TO the
underwriters. A mighty good opportu-
nifty will be afforded for plantations OF
carpenters to obtain tools. While the
tools are as good as new of course they
will not bring one-tenth of the value >
II is stated by insurance men that
there will be no difficulty in adjusting
Hall e. Sons insurance.

BOYD'S ISLAND TRAVELS

superintendent of Public Works Boyd
Will spend about three months in
travelling about the Islands, to find out
how to spend the money available for
his department He will go to each
island in turn, beginning with Hawaii,
and will cover every district. Boyd eX
poets to leave the second week in Sep
tember for Hawaii, and from that time
on until the end of the year he will be
at it steadily.
After travelling over Hawaii, Boyd
will visit Maui and then Kauai A
week or so will be enough to find out
all about Oahu, as the situation here
is already fairly well known. After
the visiting is done plans will be map
ped out for the fiscal period covered
by the legislative appropriations just
made.
Boyd will ret the glad hand wherever
he goes. He is up against making a
small sum 20 round where several
times the amount were asked for and
are needed. New public works will be
necessarily scarce, but requests for
them are already plentiful. In every
district of the various Islands are men
ready to ask for public improvements
of some kind or other, especially road
work.
"There will be plenty of time to begin
work when 1 get through after the
end of the year." said Boyd. after
that there will be more than time to
use all the monev there is to use, and
we shall do nothing until then. L shall
go THROUGH the various districts very
thoroughly and become personally fam
iliar with the various propositions that
will come up. When that has been
done it will be possible to map out 2
policy which we can follow for the rest
of the period"
The extra session plan is left out
even of Boyd's calculations now though
he was one of those who favored ant
expected that there would be such &
session. He is now figuring on going
along without further legislative help
until a new Legislature comes in.

CHIEF JUSTICE FREAR GRANTS
BAIL.
The Appeal Recognized Pending Argu-
ment as to Whether There Can Be
Any Appeal.

Deputy Sheriff Frank Pahia was call
ed into court this morning by Judge
Gear and ordered into the custody of
the sheriff for contempt of court. Half
an hour later he was released on $50
bail by Chief Justice Frear pending a
decision as to whether he has the right
of appeal. This places the question of
the right of appeals from habeas cor
pus rulings before the court in two
ways, for decision next week.
Judge Gear held that there was no
appeal from his decision dissolving the
writ of habeas corpus, and Pahia, who
had already filed such an appeal, by his
Attorneys Robertson and Wilder, was
summopded in order that he might be
remanded into the custody in open
court Jailor Henry was present and
took charge of the Koolau deputy sher-
iff.
Chief Justice Frear consented to re-
cognize the appeal to the extent of re-
leasing Pahia on bail until it is decided
whether there can be any appeal or not
II is claimed that there have been
number of similar cases in the past, in
which the Supreme Court has heard
such appeals. Pahia's contempt sem
tence is indefinite, being simply until
he makes a certain deed to property
which Judge Gear held he had purchas-
ed when he had no right to do so.
The appeal question brought up by
Attorney General Dole is from the other
side the question being as to the right
of the prosecution to appeal from an
order granting a writ of habeas cor
pus.

LYONS and IHE PRINCE

Attorney c. f. Peterson started to
test Prince DaVid's memory in Judge
Gears court this morning, and found
that the Prince had an unusual capa-
city for recalling old times. David
testified yesterday that ever since he
could remember Queen Kapiolani had
claimed and had possession of the HO-
nolulu property for which Sister Alber-
tina has brought suit
Prince David remembered that when
he was about three years old he went
to Kauai to live at Koloa. Though he
was certainly not more than four, he
remembered the trip. He lived at Ko-
loa a while and then went to Kapaa.
Later he came back to Honolulu and
lived in the palace.
The first school David went to was
the Bishop Iolani school. He couldn't
say just how old he was, but he was
'able to read A, b, C.s." When asked
what games he had played he said he
played marbles and sometimes baseball
| with boys of his size.
you see boys now with a milk bottle
in one hand and a baseball bat in the
other" said Kinney.
David was excused from the court
| room for a while, so that Peterson
could explain to the judge what it was
all about, as the line of questioning
was held to be useless. After some ex-
plantations the Prince came back and
! began to tell more about his early life
| Professor Lyons was also a witness
| He came into court with an old, worI
survey book containing notes he hac
made in 1873, when he surveyed the dis
puted property for the King Lyons
succeeded in puzzling all concerned
with his explanations of the survey
He explained getting his initial poin
by a triangle from the Punchbowl sta
tion Kawaiahao steeple and one of thu
turrets of the government building
I'VE are all learning surveying as w
Po along" said Kinney. The fact wal
finally elected that Lyons notes of tn
survey corresponded with the descrip
ton given in the complaint. Aa tn
professor was about to retire the Jude
invited Jurors to ask any question
they might want clearing up, but al
seemed to have understood.
The case has been on all week, bu
it will probably last well into mex
week.

MAIL AT ONES DOOR NEXT
WEEK.
Most of the Carriers Selected and
Others viii be Chosen in Time.
Boundary Of District.

The free delivery mail service will
be inaugurated on Tuesday, August
18th, with ten carriers. Seven of the
ten carriers have been appointed. as fol-
lows: John T. silva. Robert S. Pierson,
Edmund w. Cyrus, William Mccoy.
George T. bennett. Nicholas X. Hoopii,
j. b. Sabate.
Three of the successful applicants
who are to take the civil service ex-
animation. to be held on Monday next,
will also receive appointment.
The actual delivery of mail by car
riers will not be begun for several days.
IT will be necessary for the carriers to
thoroughly canvass their several dis
tricts to obtain the names and address,
es of all persons residing therein. from
which a complete directory will be pre-
pared. A very large proportion of all
mail coming to Honolulu is not address,
ed to street and number and until this
is corrected it will he difficult to effect
prompt delivery of mail. Mr. Erwin
saws that patrons of the Honolulu post
office will render great assistance in
perfecting the system If they will
promptly notify their correspondents
to address them either at street and
number or post office box in the latter
case giving the number of the box. This
will show the post Office force through
which channel delivery is to be made
and greatly facilitate the work of de-
livery.
The boundary of the district in which
the system win he nut into effect at this
time is as follows: Beginning at the
bridge beyond the Reformatory school
in Palama, running to the waterfront.
to Kakaako, up Cooke Laniwai Ward
and CLAYTON streets to King; out King
to McCully, to Beretania. to Artesion,
Alexander, Beckwith. Punahou and
Dominis to Wilder Avenue; thence
through Thruston, Kinau and Pauao
road to Nuuanu; up TO Judd. out to
Liliha and straight down to King to the
starting point. In this district mail will
be distributed regularly.
Another point Hereafter letters with
special delivery stamps on them win not
be delivered outside of this district.
This is the rule and will he adhered to.
Mr. Erwin states that as raDidlv as
possible other more remote localities
will be taken into the free delivery dis
trict. Householders without numbers
on their premises are urged for their
own sakes to get the numbers as quick
| ly as possible.

JARED AND THE CHICKEN PAH|A GETS OUT AGAIN.
THE AGRosToLoGIsT AND THE
SETTING HEN.
Director of the Agricultural Station
Tackles the Poultry Problem and
Seeks the Cause of Eye Troubles.

Jared Smith has been at work on the
chicken problem and has gone to the
trouble of dissecting a fowl afflicted
with the troublesome disease that
makes poultry farming unsuccessful
here but so far without results. Smith
secured a chicken that was badly af-
fected with the "eye disease" and made
q thorough post mortem examination
but he was not able to ascertain the
cause of the trouble. 1t was found that
the internal organs appeared to be all
in healthy condition and the problem
of finding the cause and cure appears
to be a very difficult one.
The poultry industry in Hawaii has
been found impossible on a large scale,
owing to the ravages of the eye disease.
Small private chicken yards do well
and bring in very large profits, in pro-
portion to their size, for their owners,
but large enterprises of the kind are
knocked out by appearance of the di-
sease. One of Jared Smiths duties here
is to help along live stock farmers as
well as agriculturists and he has there
fore tackled the chicken problem.
Poultry and eggs are fifty per cent
higher in Hawaii than on the coast. AT
times they go far higher than lnls,
eggs being as high as cents each and
chickens a dollar and a half.
f. G.. Krauss, formerly of the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station of the
University of California has been ap-
pointed to take the agricultural de-
partment at Kamehameha school, sue
ceeding T. F. Sedgwick. 1t is proposed
to increase and improve the depart
ment and in time the students will
probably produce through their educa-
tional experiments vegetables, ETC.,
enough to supply the boarding houses
of the school.
Krauss has been making some inves-
LEGATIONS of local conditions, with
Wray Taylor and other old-timers and
expresses much surprise at the extra
ordinary examples of fertility of soil
and quick growth of plants in Hawaii.
He came to the Islands highly recon-
mended by his former associates and
will go to work with vigor at Kameha-
meha

THE TIDAL WAVE.

The tidal wave disturbance of yester-
day reported from Kailua was record
ed here by the tide gauge at about II 80
a. m. The tide gauge showed a rise Of
two inches, and was not quickly fol-
lowed by any other wave as is usually
the case. Last night at between $3.50
and 1880 three larger waves were re-
corded, amounting to between three
and four inches. Professor Lyons is of
the opinion that this means a further
volcanic disturbance, larger than the
one that caused the tidal wave in the
morning.
When he first heard of the tidal wave
and found that but one wave was res
corded, Professor Lyons thought it was
probably due to a volVanic disturbance
near the islands. But the tide gauge
recorj of the evening showing a sue
cession of waves dispelled this theory.
He thinks it must have been a distur-
bance to the westward. if it is true as
reported that it was not felt at Hilo.
The Claudine arrived shortly after
noon today with confirmation of
the report of the tidal wave at Kailua.
Commodore Beckley states that he re-
ceived the information by telephone
while the vessel was at Kawaihae. The
news of the tidal wave was to the effect
that the water rose to Hackfeld's store.
No great damage was reported how
ever,

RARU ON MANUsCRIPTs.

Allan Dunn has secured from Theo-
dore Wores, the artist, some rare old
manuscripts and has placed them on
exhibition in Bergstrom's music store
They are old Gregorian chants made in
the fifteenth century. Mr.. Wores secur-
ed them in a second hand store in Flor
ence, Italy. They are the chants which
were used in the responses between the
prayers of the ritual. The notes would
be unintelligible to a modern musician
as the old style of four lines to the stan
instead of five as now is used. The
manuscripts are highly Illuminated In
various colors and are thought to have
belonged to the choir master of some
monastery near Florence. The chants
were found with an old altar cloth
which represents the Quest of the Holy
Grail.
