FELL DEAD IN
WIFE'S ARMS
William Farrant Expires on Day
He Was to Sail for
Coast.

While preparing for his intended de-
parture on the steamer Alameda, which
was to sail in the afternoon, William
stricken with heart failure yesterday
morning at his home and fell lifeless
into the arms of his wife. The de-
ceased has not been in the best of
health for some time, and the contem-
plated voyage to the Coast was for the
purpose of getting relief. Previous to
his sudden attack there was nothing to
indicate that Mr.. Farrant was other
than man fairly wen able TO make
the journey, and his death was there
fore all the more sad.
Mr.. Farrant was sitting in the par
Ior of his home, at 50 School street,
and Mrs. Farrant was eating breakfast.
She heard her husband call and went
into the parlor to see him. AS she
entered the room she saw that he was
IN the throes Of an attack of some kind,
and hurrying TO him was just IN time
to catch his falling body in her arms.
Drs. Cooper and Wood We're called and
pronounced the cause of death valvu-
lar disease of the heart. The body was
removed to the Honolulu Undertaking
parlors. and the funeral viii take place
from the Masonic Temple at 3 o'clock,
under the auspices OF the Masons, Of
which body the deceased was mem
Der.
He was for some time connected with
the Honolulu Iron Works, ard recently
had returned from Hawaii. He was
forty-nine years of age, and q native
of Brighton, England.

! the inefficiency of the operators. AT the
end of that time the system was work
ing satisfactorily About that time Mar
conf demanded the balance of the claim
due him. which not being forthcoming,
he refused to supply any more material;
consequently the tubes began TO play out,
and the manager not being able to get
any more. the system began to work
poorly. until on November 25 they shut
down entirely, no messages getting
through after that date. Mr.. Cross left
for the States In September, his object
being to get new tubes so that he could
make the repairs himself. He returned
with some of the material and he has
made tubes which work satisfactorily,
but now there IS no money to install the
operators again. When the tubes We're
sent to the stations. the batteries We're
then found to be very weak. Treasurer
Hutchins procured new batteries here
and forwarded them but many are stin
on the landing docks on the various ISL
ands, there being no money to move
them to the stations. There is no fault
In the system, which has been demon
strated to work as promised, but the
company has been operating on short
capital. owing to the stockholders hav-
ing failed to pay in their assessments.
Mr.. Cross said he would turn back his
promoters stock in order that paid-up
stock could be given to the stockholders
for what they had paid in. and he sug-
gested that the proposition mentioned at
a former directors meeting, that the
capital be reduced from $4,000 to $4,000
or $4,000, be adopted.
w H. Hoogs favored the reduction of
the capital. He said there had been too
many peanut stockholders" in the COM
pany when it started, and these had
really blocked the successful operation
of the system, as they failed and posi-
lively refused to meet the assessments
agreed upon. The same had been true
in the case of the Nahllu plantation. He
thought If men of financial standing
could be brought into touch with the af-
fairs of the company, the outlook would
be bright. He had faith in the entire
proposition, and wanted to see the sys-
TEN once more operating.
II was stated that the system had cost
S2i. 600. and there were now 5000 to be-
considered. On the new basis of reduc-
ing the capitalization, issuing paid-up
stock to the assessable stockholders, and
marketing the remaining stock. there
would be Il surplus after paying the
debts. which would give the company
financial footing.
The election OF officers resulted as fol-
lows:
President. f. ]. Cross; vice president.
w W. Hall; secretary. W. Il. Earring
ton: treasurer, Clinton ]. Hutchins; audi
tor r. c. Brown; These officers and the
following named form the new director
ate: c. a. De Cew. ]. a. Magoon, E. o.
White and ~. II. Hoogs
Upon motion of c. j. Hutchins. the d.
rectors decided to empower the directors
to negotiate a loan TO cover advances
which may he obtained. and start the
system again.

Punahou to Waikiki will begin
at once. BY action of the Board of Di-
rectors of that company yesterday all
the conditions of the contract which
is to be entered into with James Nc

lihi line, were approved and the docu-
ment viii be signed at once.
The contract will provide for the con-
struction of the line from the corner of

down the latter thoroughfare to Bere-
tania street, along that road to McCul-
ly street, thence direct to the Waikiki
road. The point of connection with
the Waikiki road is near the corner of
the old road to the beach, and opposite
the residence of Fred Harrison The
entire line will comprise about $500 feet
of road and of this amount there will
be something like 1900 feet which will
require filing to the level of the streets
at each end of the line.
The contract will call not only for the
laying Of the line of road, but also the
putting down of the rock and earth
filling along the present undeveloped
line of McCully street through the sub
division of property controned by the
Waikiki Land Company. This filling
VIII be the most extensive part of the
work, for while the road itself could
be put in condition for the running of
cars within something like two
months the filling VIII occupy more
time and may not be complete in less
than three months time. The result is
that there is the longer period given to
the contractor and there Will be no
cars along the line until nearly the
first of May
The significance of the work lies In
the tact that this is the practical COM
mencement of the road to Waikiki. and

line has been completed. While the
directors of the company have not
made definite arrangements for the
route and rights of way, farther than
the end OF McCully street, it is expected
that the complete arrangements Will
be concluded before the construction OF
the present line and thus there will be
no stoppage upon the work of construc-
tion. The matter of the roads to be
: followed has not been adjusted, but
there are such preliIninaries concluded
that there seems to be no doubt of the
final settlement being made within the
next few weeks.
What will facilitate the work of put
tinS down the road is that the arrange
ments of the contractor provide for the
securing of the material for filling pur-
poses very close to the scene Of the
operations. The rock will be secured
at the quarries of Ashley & Paris,
which are in the Metcalf road, and this
very close to- the end of McCully
street. The filing Will be hauled down
that street direct to the point at which
it is needed, and this will permit the
construction within the time set.
All the bent rails for the curves and
switches are now being prepared at the
Rapid Transit Company'S shops, and
there will be no further delays for ma
terial to arrive from the States. There
Is now on the way the remainder OF
the electrical supplies which will be
consumed in the putting up of the lines
for the operation of this extension. and
the equipment will be ready when the
roadbed is prepared for the runHing OF
the cars.
There have been many residents OF
Waikiki who have been sending in pc
titions for the running OF the electric
line down through the old road and
back to the direct Waikiki road at the
Bishop switch, and the advocates OF
the use of the direct road are also
bringing pressure to bear upon the
members of the directorate. but as yet
there has been reached no decision as
TO TIE matter, and there viii be none
until certain arrangements have been
completed.
