The sensational case against I. r.
Gledewell, the blind preacher who was
arrested in this city last week on the
charge of adultery preferred by w. H.
Young I'd jr., of Grand River, in which
he was accused of occupying the same
room with Mrs. Young alta hotel in
this city, was dismissed when the case
was brought up before Justice Beck last
Friday morning on preliminary hearing.
1t seems the law of this state is yery
peculiar on the question of prosecuting
persons for adultery, and if the arrested
person is married the only person who
can prosecute the case is the wife or
husband of the accused. In this case
the man accused is married, having q
wife and two children residing at Gains
vile, and as she refused to prosecute
him, his attorneys Hoffman & Jackson,
filed demurrer to the charge, and
Justice Beck had no alternative excep,
to discharge Gledewell and tax th,
costs up to the stats,

1t is said that third paper will be
started in Leon soon after the first of

plating entering the field. That any
one cam make success of third paper
in Leon is exceedingly doubtful. 1t has

the publishers big sums of money. So
far as The REPORTER is concerned we
welcome legitimate competition, and if
third paper can make living here
the field is open. One of the parties is
figuring on second republican paper
in opposition to the Journal, and the
other party will run an independent
paper, if he decides to enter the field.

BERREY'S COMMERCIAL REPORT
THE semmorthy report of Q H. Berrey the Local Bradeet
Agency, issued Satur Jay Feb lst is as follows

The work of making tax returns has
almost entirely absorbed the attention OF
the business community for several days
back. Land owners in general have
been fixing their estimates at last years
valuation. There is growing cry among
| the large taxpayers against the increas-
ing rate of taxation. 1t is certainly TO
be hoped that taxes will not be more
| burdensome in the future.
The Alameda's mail had no definite
news touching on the Cuban tariff.
private letter from San Francisco states
that it is the opinion among some beet
sugar men that reduction of % per
cent in Cuban tariff would not material
ly affect the beet interest in the United
States or the cane sugar interests In the
South and Hawaii
News comes to the city that the Pa
cifc coast financiers are carefully scru-
tinizing some Hawaiian securities with
the view of making heavy advances. At
last accounts it looked as though there
would be no hitch in the negotiations
1t can be truly said that California
monied men manifest no timidity in in
vesting their gold in our solid enter
priseS
There were no features in the local
sugar market during the latter half of
January. Olaa Kihei and Rapid Tran
sit advanced a few points, while Waia-
lua, Oahu, Koloa and McBryde dropped
in price Eva remains firm at twenty
three and a quarter, and Kahuku is
holding it's own at twenty-four. Inter-
Island changed hands at sixty.
Bonds are inactive. the same quotations
ruling. Kihei Plantation Company has
just completed a five hundred thousand
dollar bond issue, and Hawaiian Sugar
will mortgage its property to the ex-
tent of seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. Both of these bond issues will
in all probability be fioated on the coast.
Real estate is slow. Several small
pieces in the suburbs of the city have
been sold. Real estate men also report
the sale of small residences at a reduc-
ed figure and easy terms.
The mortgage indebtedness has increas-
ed since our last report SIPS, 7S9.
