MALAY LABORER KILLED THIS
MORNING.
Was Buried Under Failing Brick Wall
At t. H. Davies & Co.'S Former Ka-
ahumanu Street Office.

Sullivan Alexander, a Malay, was in
stantly killed this morning by falling
wall at the old office Of T. H. Davies
and company on Kaahumanu street.
The deceased was engaged in helping
to demolish the building and was in
the act of picking up some pieces Of
scrap iron directly under a wall, when
the mass Of brick collapsed and buried
him completely from sight, crushing
his body in a shocking manner.
The accident occurred about 7:45
O'Clock, Alexander had been employed
at the old building only since Monday.
In company with an old Portuguese
named Antoine Ferreira, he was en-
plOyed in cleaning brick, his duty keep
ing him on the outside of the old build
ing. Ferreira states that Thomas Luz
cas-, the superintendent Of the work Of
deElolishing the old building, ordered
the brick cleaners to go inside the
building, close to one of the walls
which ran in an Ewa-Wailliki dlrec-
tion, and pick up some of the old iron.
This wall was about II feet in height,
about 1S inches thick and perhaps
twenty feet long. Two men were work.
ing on the top of the wall at the Eva
side, near Kaahumanu street, while
Ferreira and Alexander were further
toward the Waikiki side. The men on
the top of the wall were working with
pick axes demOlishing it. Where the
men on the ground were working, the
wall had been slightly undermined the
day previous. A heavy joist rested on
that wall and ran across to the mauka
wall. Just what caused the first wall
to collapse is not clear. 1 may have
been the jar of the two men working
on top. In any event, some one noticed
the heavy joist falling and called tC
Alexander and the Portuguese to gel
out of the way. Ferreira scrambled
away from the falling wall and Alex.
ander tried to do so, but when he was
about six feet out from the wall, he
was struck by the falling jOist anC
knocked back right in the track of the
falling brick He was completely bur
led from view by the wall.
The men hurried and dug him GU
only to discover that he was dead, tn,
lower part of the body being mangleC
in a terrible way. The police tool
charge of the remains and had then
removed to the morgue where an au
topsy will be held.
The deceased was about 45 years o
age and had been a resident of Ha
waii for about 80 years. He had beel
a sailor and was a British subject
About four or five months ago, his wifi
was committed to the leper settlemen
at Molokai. To his fellow wOrkmen h
had bOasted tnat he possessed sufH
cient means to enable him to refrail
from working for several years. Som
months ago, he was employed as
helper at Cation and Neils fOundr
on Queen street He had also worke
at Spreckelsville.
The inquest was called for this after
noon at 1870 o'clock at the police sta

The newest and most fashionable per-

always been regarded with affection by
the superstitious, on account of its
supposed health-giving and lucky
properties. A pretty fancy is the leg

TEACHERS READY WIT.

Attempt of Boys to Annoy Instructor
Not Eminently Successful
There was once veteran teacher in
a boys high school who often made
his classes vince under his bitter sar-
casm and ready wit. One day little
half-staryed yellow cur strayed into
the school, and the boys thought they
saw chance to express their feelings
toward their teacher, who was busy
in another room. The frightened mon
grel was picked up, quickly fitted with
pair of large wire spectacles and
placed on the teachers chair. The
teacher entered the room, walked to
his desk, calmly surveyed the work of
his pupils. and then. turning to them,
pleasantly said: "In my absence,

USING NlAGARA's POWER.
Canadians Now to Begin Generating
Electricity BY 1t,

New York, Jan. 2S.-Another great
step in the utilization of Niagara pow
er is announced by the Electrical
World and Engineer On the Ameri-
can side of iAe falls the Niagara Falls
Power Company has long had in oper-
alton eleven dynamoso each driven by
its own turbine and developing 5000
horse power. The wheel put parallel
with the first one was recently COM
pleted, and within the last year orders
We're given for eleven more water
wheels and generators. When these
are installed the company will be able
to supply 4AU,O0O horsepower in the
form of electricity.
Operations are now TO be undertaken
on the Canadian side. The Electrical
World and Engineer. says that con-
tracts have just been placed with the
General Electric Company for the con-
struction of three 10,OOO-horse power
generators for the new plant, whose
ultimate capacity, 1t is estimated, will
probably reach 10000 horsepower
These negotiations have been con-
Quoted through the Canadian Niagara
Power Company, which had the orig
inal charter for the enterprise, but
Whose rights have been acquired by
the American company. These dypa-
mos will be situated. like those Of the
Niagara Falls Power Company, at the
level of the surface of the earth, while
the turbines will be in a wheel pit di-
rectly underneath. Vertical shafts
over 100 feet long will connect the wa
terwheels with the generators.
1t Is asserted these dynamos will be
the largest ever built. The closest an
proach to them is made by those be-
ing installed In the power house of the
Manhattan Railway Company of this
city. The latter have nominal Gu
.pacity of 5000 horsepower. but are
designed to. develop twenty-five or fif-
ty per cent. more in an emergency.

The irregular square formed by the
Murray Hill hotel on the west, the

The list of injured is an exceedingly
long one, but most of those in it have
