Wlldtlre throughout the town. Expect
ancy increased. The telephone wires
were kept hot with inquiries from Cen
trial. from Diamond Head Charley,
from Waimanalo and from the various
newspaper offices, as to whether it
really was the Silyertown or not
Doubt was very soon set at rest by
the positive statement from the Dia-
mond Head lookout that it was indeed
the SilvertOwn.
Immediately a new feeling of sus-
pense was aroused, for soon the rumor
spread that the Silvertown had cut and
DuOyed the cable somewhere. between
san Francisco and here and had put
into this port Speculation was at once
rife, first as to whether the Silvertown
really had cut and buoyed the cable,
and if she had, why she had done so.
There was scurrying down toward
the waterfront Everybody wanted to
get a glimpse Of the cable ship.
A little crowd gathered around the
cable offices in the Young building to
See what the officials of the company
were going to do. There were rumors
of a general closing and chartering of
all the steamers in the city. Steam
was saved for all the local whistles in
readiness to greet the Silvertown as
she arrived off the harbor. S. S. Dick
enson took hack and a photographer
and went off to the hut at Sans Souci
to await the arrival of the boat from
that point superintendent Gaines
went down to the harbor to the tug.
Captain Berger heard of the sighting
of the steamer and started to get his
men together for a musical greeting.
Local photographers and men special
ly detailed from the coast to cover the
cable landing came out with their cam
eras and went to the harbor, to Sans
Souci or aboard a tug as their fancy
prompted them. S. S. Dickinson was
little bit afraid of the weather out
side Diamond Head and Charlie tele-
phoned that the steamer had passed
the headland at good speed. He did
not however notice any cable trailing
behind and there was a rumor imme-
dlately circulated that she had been
obliged to slip and buoy it in the Molo-
kai channel.

HOW THE TOWN ACTED.
Effect on the Community of the Silver
towns Arrival.

The way the cable ship Silvertown
was received by the community yes
terday was an interesting study in HUI
man nature.
The town had been in an expectant
mood for twenty-fOur hours or more.
The news brought by the Sierra and
twelve hours later by the Nippon Maru
gave ground for belief that the Silver
town might be sighted at any moment
1t was to this state of feverish sus-
pense that the announcement came on
the bulletin board of the Star that a
steamer had been sighted eight miles
to the eastward which, from the de-
scrlption, was believed to be the Sill
Vertown. This information spread like

Anthony Romana, Is alleged to have
stuck u dagger tiyn inches long in the
heart of Michell Imperiale. inflicting
wounds from which he died in about
one hour.
The parties arn all Italians, and the
staIsbing took place at the Italian set
ilement at the guarries. Elie cause
that led TO the staDbing was that I'm
periale, who formerly worked here,
had. it is said, circulated stories about
Mrs, Romano, which greatly angered
her. sImperiaie, recently section hand
on the RAILROAD at Clifton, came out on
the midnight train SATURDAY to spend
Sunday with his old companions Mrs.
Runiana, hearing that her slanderer
wass in the settlement. vent to The
house where he was visiting and sank
the dagger deep between his third and

gather 10000 haskes vi applaa this fall.
These are OF many varieties and all
good fruit. They are also being placed

As fruitgrower Mr.. Shallcr0ss has
been particularly successful, hut his

In Kent comfy, two years ago, the

Fourth by 35, the Fifth by 45 and the

There is also room for changes in

the vote two years ago was 3i9 for
Gray, Democrit; 235 for Swain, Regu-

plurality II Ga, he was in minority
of l66 in the total vote. This year the
Democrats arc supporting Swain and
it is more than probable that he will
be elected. The Sixth district, where
tie Union Republican plurality two
years ago was 6s, is also regarded as
deoatable ground.
