ROCKS ON
THE ROOFS
japanese Cause
Heavy Shower
Of Coral.
LIGHTS BROKEN
BY CORAL FALL
Manager Waller Has a Marrow
Escape From Being Injured
by Broken Glass.

" OCkS flying in the air and alight-
! sS ing upon the roof of the Metro
- politan meat market, yesterday
morning told of a blast in coral made
by the Japanese excavators, which was
out of reason through it's strength.
That there was no one hurt was due
to the fact that the rocks fell against
the edge of the two skylights affected,
breaking the glass which came down in
showers, and fell where no one was
seated.
The blast was set before II o'clock,
and the clerks and patrons of the mar
ket paid little attention TO the sounds
which proceeded from the excavation
next door, but when a moment after
the blast there was a rattle of rocks
upon the roof, there was a scurrying
for the doors. Following the shower
of rocks came the falling of broken
glass from the skylights and a few
small stones, which indicated the cause
of the disturbance.
There was one great piece of coral
which fell against the rear skylight,
breaking a heavy light of glass. The
break occurred Immediately above the
disk at which sits usually the man
ager of the market, Mr.. G. j. Waller.
The seat had been vacated by the man
ager only a few moments before, and
Mr.. Waller was about the building
when the patter of the rocks upon the
roof gave notice OF the work done by
the blast. The heavy glass which came
down in a shower about the open desk
and chair was sufficient in weight to
have seriously cut, and perhaps to have
caused fatal injuries, upon the man
ager had he not been called away in
time. AS it was the glass cut the wood
work of the desk and left its mark
upon the chair and the walls where the
bounding of the pieces threw them to
the sides.
Pieces of the heavy skylight glass
were found lying all about the corner
of the private office. where the desk of
the manager sits and one piece at least
was large enough to have split his
head. had ii struck him. In the main
portion of the market the only fall was
that which occurred in the rear. close
to the cashiers window, but it was
outside the Enclosure and there was no
one hurt.
The heavy piece of coral which had
done the most of the damage was found
later where it had rolled into one of the
valleys of the roof. 1t was large
enough to have killed a half dozen peo-
pie, had it fallen into the office where
the clerks were at work.
Three of the japanese were arrested
and charged with common nuisance.
They Will be tried this morning.

SANITATION IN MIDDLE AGES.

The Greeks and Romans paid specia4
attention TO the physical culture OF theH
youth, to public water supplies ana
baths, and Athens and Rome were pro-
vided with sewers early IN their history.
During the middle ages, sanitation re-
ceived a decided check. Ignorance ana
brutal prejudice prevailed and this was
the most insanitary period In history
Most European towns were Dui Gum

streets were narrow and ~indinB' aho
light and air were excluded. The accu-
mutation of filth was frlghtfui Stables
I'D bouses were close neighbors. The
dead were buried within the churchyard
Or in the churches. Wells were fed with
noIluted water. All conditions were IA
vorabIe for the spread OF infectious dis
cases. and In the fourteenth century
alone the oriental or bubonic plague-the
black death OF recent histortans-carried

taken to the Queens Hospital. In the
case of Jacobsen it appears to have
been a case of not keeping out of the
way of the cars.
The story of the accident Is told by
Manager Ballentyne thus: Our car
No. 90 was going towards Kalihi, when
the motorman discovered two men
walking in the same direction as he
was going, clear of the track. but not
far enough away from 1t for absolute
safety. The motorman called to them,
while ringing the bell all the time. He
also slowed down his speed to four
miles an hour. The men paid no heed
to the warning until the motorman,
with the car running very slowly, tried
to get past.
men one of them, Jacobsen. jumped,
but in the wrong direction. He jump
ed backwards and towards the car. and
his head was struck against one Of the
grab handles. Jacobsen was thrown
down, and it was found that his head
had been cut for about an inch, while
he received some bruises. He was sent
to the hospital
Upon investigation there it was
found there that Jacobsen was not seri-
ously hurt.

to a knowledge of the boys where
abouts.
Young Bolger disappeared from his
home in Yonkers on Tuesday, Novem-
Der 10. last. He left his fathers house
at IL a. M, presumably to keep an en-
gagement with a dentist. Instead he
took the 1870 a. m. train to New York,
and his people have not seen him
since. 1t is true that the boy greatly
disliked to go r ? dentist, and that he
had suffere.. from headaches. But these
facts offer no rational explanation of
his long-continued absence.
Here is the description of Walter
which has been widely spread by the
New York Chief of Police:
''He is eighteen years Old but may
be taken for older. Height, about feet
II inches, medium built, broad shout
ders, stands erect. Weight, about IT'S
pounds. Wears No. s shoes. Blue eyes.
heavy, light brown hair, parted near
center; regular features, fair clear
complexion; of a retiring disposition;
is very intelligent and quite fond Of
reading, particularly magazines. In
conversation would be likely TO discuss
matters not usually interesting to
boys. Does not smoke or drink. Might
frequent theaters.
when he LETT Yonkers he wore light
soft hat, light band; Oxford gray over
coat Coming to the knees); dark mixed
gray suit, pants, vest and sack coat Coz
herring-bone stitch pattern); black
lace shoes, gray stockings, high turn
ed-down collar, necktie CASUALLY in
rather a small knott: overcoat rarely
buttoned."
The picture of Walter Bolger, here
reproduced, was taken four years ago,
and is only intended to show the gen.
eral character of the face.

~ S. Davidson. the local plumber,
is just in receipt of letters from
- Paul S. Bolger and Chief Of Po-
lice Murphy of New York City, and
clippings from the New York Journal,
which refer to the disappearance OF
Walter f. Bolger from his home in
New York City, and are accompanied
by the request from the heartbroken
father and mother than IL any news,
however slight, can be obtained of the
missing young man, that it be COM
municated at once. The newspapers
throughout the mainland were filed
with the accounts OF the boys disap-
pearance, but thus far no word of his
whereabouts has yet been learned. The
father, Paul S. Bolger. who conducts
sanitary plumbing, drainage and VEN
tilation establishment at No. S7S Park
avenue, has been acting on the advice
of several members of his organization,
and is writing to one member of the
plumbing fraternity in each large city
throughout the country, asking their
aid in endeavoring to locate his boy,
leaving it to their own judgment as to
how they can best help him.
The letter to Mr.. Davidson was sent
out from New York on January 2. 1902.
The police department of that city is
also aiding IN the search, the letters
from that department being signed by
NJ. G Murphy, Commissioner and Chief
of Police of New York.
AS Walter Bolger was a most dutiful
and loving son, the father is absolutely
at less to account for the boys dis
appearance. He has made several trips
across the country, to Chicago, through
Texas and Ohio, and elsewhere on what
seemed to be clues furnished by detec-
tives. but all to no purpose. His moth
er is seriously i'll from worrying. and
all are heart broken over his absence.
The boy had been growing rapidly. and
though sturdy in appearance, has been
complaining Of not feeling well, being
especially troubled with headaches.
The press of New York, says the faith
err, has shown him every courtesy, each
paper publishing several articles relat-
ing to the disappearance. Mr.. David
son was asked to have a notice of the
matter printed in Honolulu, one that
would appeal to the boy IL he were
here, to return home to his motherwho
may yet die frop, broken heart, if she
does not soon see him. A reward of
$500 is offered for information leading
