STATEMENT OF THE ROAD.

During the session yesterday after noon the official statement of the Fair Haven and Westville road was receiv- ed. It was read by General Bradley, and is as follows:
 In behalf of the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company the fol- lowing statement of its position is made:
 Of the men recently discharged from the company's employ eleven were dis charged prior to the meeting of July 29, at which, it is understood unicn was formed.
 Membership in a union alone has not been, and will not be- deemed cause of disqualification for service in the company's employ, either for adniss on or retention. Union and non-union men will be treated alike, without discrimi- nation in favor of either.
 In the case of the men who were dis charged there were other reasons than membership in or promotion of union which, in the opinion of the company, warranted their discharge.
 The company is held responsible to the public and to it's passengers for the SdISIy anu Ol US SeINlCG, anu must be free to engage and discharge it's employees according to it's own idea of their efficiency.
 The company is not aware that at the time when the strike began there was any complaint on the part of it's en- ployes in regard to wages, hours or oth- CT conditions of service.
 The company will, at all reasonable times, receive and consider any com- plaints from it's employees.
 It is unwilling to negotiate with a committee of the union as such. It is understood that the executive commit tee having the matter in charge con- sists, in part, of members who are not and never, so far as the company knows, have been employees of this company.
 If the strike be speedily terminated the men who were in the company's employ, when it began, will be re- ceived.

SAVIN ROCK,

The balloon ascension last night was very successful and the display of aerial fireworks as the balloon waited through the air was magnificent sight. Professor Davis made 8 grand para chute jump. There will be another as- tension to-day before the ball game; also one in the evening. The orchestra plays afternoon and evening in the con- cert park, and the performances at the theater are particularly good. The Hilyyers, Mozart quartet, Pongo and Leo. Sinclaire's dog circus, and Geor- gie Lingard make up this weeks bill.

STRIKERS COMMITTEE.
Matter of Referring Reinstatement to
 Citizens Considered

Citizens Considered.
 The executive committee of the strik- ing trolley men was in session the
 greater part of yesterday afternoon and practically all the evening. IL adjourn ed at 1O:3O Although very reticent re-
 garding the exact nature of the matters considered. yet they stated that the
 recommendation of the merchants com mittee with reference to the reinstate- ment of the men was given considera- ton. Some of the members were in fa- vor of abiding by the decision of the
 suggested neutral committee of three
 entirely. while others were of the opin- ion that one of the members of the committee should be a member of the
 trolley mems union. No decision was reached on this point but report was drawn up which will be presented to the men at the general mass meeting this morning at o'clock.
 Members of the executive committee
 seen last night absolutely refused to
 give any opinion of the statement made
 by the company officials defining their
 position with reference to the recogni- tion of the union.

FAK1Rs AT WORK.

Were Selling Tickets for an Alleged
 Beneft-Warning Sounded.
 Two out-Of-tOwn fakirs were at work in this city yesterday afternoon and last evening endeavoring to work the friends and sympathizers of the strik- ing trolley employees. The fakirs were selling tickets for an alleged benefit to be given for the strikers. A large num- Der of tickets were sold.
 Those in charge of the strike state emphatically that no benefit of any kind has been arranged. and warn the public to beware of any and all impos- ters.

LOCAL TRAINS CROWDED.

Trainmen Pressed Into Service Collect
 ing Tickets-Slow Time Causes De-
 lay
 All the local trains running into the Union depot on the Consolidated road were crowded to the very steps yester- day. On several trains extra cars were put on, and the conductors were forced to press every trainman into service, to collect tickets before the sta ton was reached.
 From West Haven and East Haven the trains were obliged to go slow that there might be sufficient time for the collection of so many tickets.

The Big Bill Still on and the Balloon
 Goes Up Just the Same.
 Savn Rock theater is still running and the big show continues to run. The bill is an extraordinary one, and for all the inconvenience does not play to empty benches.
 The balloon ascensions continue an uninterrupted success, and are made every afternoon. This afternoon there will be none, however, because of the ball game. Tomorrow afternoon there will be a double ascension. All the evening ascensions have been indefi- nitely postponed,

Thunder, Lightning and Torrents Played Havoc
With Electric Light, Rapid Transit and
Telephone Companies.

The storm which started yesterday
during the noon hour was general, ev-
cry part of the city and suburbs being
subjected TO the heaviest rainfall of the
year. The electric light and Rapid
Transit companies were compelled to
shut off power for nearly forty minutes
and several hundred telephones were
put temporarily out of use. The main
cause of the trouble with wires was
the electricity. which entered each sys-
TEN and Travelled to the power houses
and to the central offices of the tele-
phone company, playing havoc in each.
The lightning seemed to have got in
at the vicinity OF King and South
streets, and il was believed for time
that the Langton house, opposite the
Castle Home, had been struck. When
the heaviest thunderclap came, accom-
panied by a binding flash, the fuses in
all the country phones and most of
those in the city blew out, and al the
same instant electric flashes filed the
operators room in the telephone ex-
change. There was a mOmentary con-
sternation among the young lady oper-
ators. Two or three were badly scared,
but most of them are used to trivial
ties of the kind and stood their ground.
Many subscribers were treated to
a surprise whe2 electric fire. leaped

At the Rapid Transit power house a
fuse block was blown out but doing
little damage. The power however,
was instantly turned off and the sys-
tenn was at a standstill for about forty
minutes. Lightning arresters are used
on all the feed wires of the company
and the system is practically immune
from the effects OF exterior electrical
influence.
The heavy torrents which came down
every hillside street covered the tracks
with gravel and silt and a large force
of men was requisitioned to clear the
way. In front of the power house all
the tracks were buried under water,
mud and gravel and the switch tongues
became damned. At the end of forty
minutes one entire line was clear and
the cars went on their runs as usual
A very bad place during the storm was
q the corner of Beretania and Alapai
streets, where both the tracks of the
Rapid Transit and Tramways were
covered with nearly a foot of dirt.
From Alapai to Punchbowl street,
Reretania avenue became an almost
impa ssable thoroughfare, and property
on the lower side of the street was in
undated. The water rose above the
makai sidewalk level and poured into
yards, filing many OF them with wa
ter to a depth of two or three feet.

Have You ever seen it rain in Hilo?'
. The web-footed visitors from Hawaii's
metropolis ventured the opinion that
Honolulu needed a little shower now

really rain.
The building material and debris on
the Fort street side of the Hall building

cellar and dam was hastily construct
ed to keep the flood in its course to-
ward the waterfront
Despite the tremendous pressure ex-
erted upon them, the storm sewers
worked fairly we'll and carried off much
OF the food, thereby preventing an ac-
emulation on the waterfront. The
street running along between the Naval
docks and offices was transformed in
to a pond, hacks sinking down to the
hubs. The same was the case on Ku-
kui street, Eva of the bridge, and
walking was impossible except when a
man removed his shoes and stockings
Pauoa stream was pretty full, al
though Nuuanu stream was compare
lively from freshet.
Between u and o'clock the Weather
Bureau reported that so of an inch of
rain had fallen. At Luakaha the fall
for twenty-four hours ending at noon
was 7.23 inches.
The fall was reported exceptionally
heavy in the vicinity of Diamond Head
and all over Waikiki.

ed running over the broken gap until

When the lightning Travelled to the
electric power station, it came in con-
tact with the rear part of the big mar
BILE switchboard. Several fuse blocks
were destroyed and porcelain guards
split, rendering circuits incapable Of
carrying power. There were several
claps of thunder, the last two being
the most severe. 1t was the last one
which made the trouble. The trans
former on the switchboard was blown
out instantly. Chief Engineer William

levers on the board and remained there
