MusKEr WORTH MILLIONS,

Bring Rich Inheritance 90
Its Holder.

Members OF the stoy family al
over the United States, including
Mayor Franklin P. Stoy, Of Atlantic
City, N. j., have been interested In And
ing the possessor Of a certain revoiu-
tionary musket, ownership Of which
will carry with it the inheritance' Of an
estate in Troy, Pa, worth several mill
lion dollars.
The title to the estate In question
contains the provision that II shall
not pass from the ownership Of the
possessor of musket used by q
member Of the Stoy family at the
surrender of the British at York
town. 1t seems that in some way the
Stoys became dispossessed and SCAT
tered to various parts of the counf
try, one member retaining the
musket whose relation to the title
apparently had been forgotten.
Some years ago, when the owner of
the estate tried to sell it, the curious
provision was discovered, and the
search for the possessor Of the gun
began.
A letter just received by Mayor
Stoy probably settles the question Of
ownership Of the gun, Isaac Stoy, Of
Sherwood Mich, stating that he Is
it's possessor. The hunt for the
weapon shows that few months ago
il came into Isaac's possessions

EDMUND P. DOLE.

Edmund P. Dole, who has retired
from the office of Attorney General,
has, during his term, rendered impor-
tant services to the people. But for
him the attempt of political judges to
override law and justice in the inter
ests of public faction and private greed,
would have been successful. Against
that conspiracy, the measure of which
has been but half taken by the people
of Hawaii, Mr.. Dole always stood with
a combative honesty which saved this
Territory from a state of things as
ruinous as that which prevailed in the
South during the reconstruction period.
The men who tried to exploit Hawaii
in plain words to rob it-were always
trying to tear down the reputation of
the Attorney General in the hope of get
ting his office for themselves Success
in that would have given them control
of the police and enabled them to tax
vice as has been done in other misgov-
erned places. and not only that, but to
muzzle the honest press by prosecuting
editors and publishers. The efforts
made to carry out such prosecutions
were foiled by Edmund P. Dole and his
deputy, Mr.. Cathcart, and the press was
left free to expose wrong doing and
brand knaves in ermine as freely as
rogues in rags. The results are seen in |
purer courts, higher standards at the
bar, better public service, a more con-
tented people, a greater confidence in
the safeguards of business. For what |
government and thwa~t the schemes
of rascals, he will be held in the esteem |
of all good men.

Engineers Discuss Cement

The Honolulu Engineering Associa
ton held most interesting meeting
last evening in its rooms. The principal
paper of the evening was that of As
sistant Superintendent of Public Works
Campbell, on the use and abuse of
cement in engineering work. Mr.. Camp-
bell went over a series of experiments
which he has made with various sands
including that which he secures from
the crushed stone from the rock crush
er. The paper led to a long discussion
between the members of the BODY. @
F. Brush and H. o. c. Isenberg wore
elected members and H. Hugo and r
Won Damn associate members. a com
mittee consisting of Messrs. Pratt
Beardsiee and Menaugh was appointed
10 arrange for some celebration of the
annual meeting next month. This prob
ably will take the form of a dinner.

LEGISLATORS TO
MEET AND CONFER

The initial caucus of members of the
/ Legislature will be held this evening at
Republican headquarters. Several of the
| outside members are now in the city
and they were yesterday meeting with
, the local leaders and discussing plans
of action.
1t is understood that there will be de-
cided upon this evening the course of
action which will guide the majority
during the session. The leading local
members of the two houses declare that
they hope to see an agreement to abide
by the caucus rule strictly, and to
choose a steering committee, which win
determine the order in which measures
are to be taken up and the time which
may be spent upon each. This will en-
able the whips of the two houses to
keep the measures which are to be
pushed constantly in line of action, and
may insure the getting through with
much of the work which faces the two
bodies.
Of the members now in the city there
are several who think the proposed
county bill will have to be amended,
their attention being taken up almost
entirely with the taxation features.
Demands for more copies of the coun-
ty bill are being received daily at head
quarters, and the issue of the book con-
tanning it, is almost exhausted

| is signed by a certain native who is not
known as a regular officer, but who
does special duty and from his salary of
| forty dollars per month pays specials
| and informers as occasion may require
the Deputy Sheriff to hire them.
| End In re false returns of bail
money, find the facts as follows:
Thirty-four persons were at different
times arrested for gambling during the
month of December last, and bail to
the amount of fifteen dollars each ac-
copied by the Deputy Sheriff.
! Five dollars of each said amount the
Deputy Sheriff retained to pay inform
ers in said cases, the balance, ten dol
! lars, being made to appear as amount
of bail deposited, and afterwards or
dered forfeited upon non-appearance of
defendants in court.
In this way one hundred and seventy
dollars was retained which should have
been turned into court.
The Deputy Sheriff holds receipts
from different informers for this
amount and states in defense that he
was during November last instructed
by Sheriff Coney to arrest and pros
ecute gambling cases whenever and
wherever he could, and that to success
fully do so required the hiring of in
formers, and he (the Deputy Sheriff.
considered ii right and proper to pay
such expenses out of the bail money
have ordered him to pay into court
this month the sum of one hundred
and seventy dollars, and the district
magistrate declare same forfeited as
balance in original cases.
1 believe the action of Deputy Sheriff
in these cases not to have been feIoni-
Gus, but mistake by him in his en-
deavor to secure convictions in gam
bling cases.
3rd. In re one thousand dollars alleg-
ed to have been accepted by Sheriff
Coney for privilege of allowing lottery
games to operate at Waimea, 1 find the
facts as follows:
Sheriff Coney being we'll acquainted
with Chinaman in question All Ko by
name, requested a loan from him for
one year. All Ko consented and sent !
check to Coney for said amount No |
note was given.
All Ko some time afterwards made |
proposition to Coney to operate lottery |
game at Waimea- Coney would not al
low it and All Ko made demand for
payment of his one thousand dollars.
and placed same in hands of E ON
sted for collection. Seven hundred and
nfty dollars has been paid by Coney.
ana balance of two hundred and fifty
dollars still remains
