and was said TO have stood eleven to

The case is one of the most inter
esting OF it's kind that has come I'D in
the supreme court in years. In 1882
the state of Virginia ordered $4,000.
600 worth OF bonds from engravers in

them. To the bonds obtained az that
auction We're forged the signatures OF

In September. 1890. Julius Schroeder
obtained q loan of $4,000 from the
Importers and Traders National Bank
on $4,000 worth Of Virginia bonds. He
stated. it is alleged. that he obtained
them by investment. Last October he
presented $4,000 worth OF the same
bonds and asked a loan of S3l, 500 on
them. This lot he said he inherited.
The contradictory statements of
Schroeder as TO how he came to get
hold OF the bonds resulted in the max
ing an Investigation. They discovered
that there was in existence an issue
Of Virginia bonds that were worthless.
They sent a number of bonds 70 a bank
in Richmond, Va. and were informed
that they We're fraudulent. The bank
refused 10 make a further loan 70
Schroeder and politely told him he
would have to make good for the
others. This he did.
A short time after Schroeder, after
getting the bonds back from the bank.
took them TO Ladenburg. Thalman &
Co. and got loan of $4,000 on them.
When the bankers learned that they
were worthless and made the discovery
that the Importers and Traders Ma

HEAVY STORM
OVER kauai
RAINFALL AT HANALEI THIS
WEEK INCHES IN So HOURS
STORM is GENERAL.

There has been an exceptionally
heavy rainfall on Kauai this week.
Purser Mcnamara of the steamer Ke
Au Hou which arrived this morning
from her run to Kauai ports, reports
that the rainfall in one section was s
inches in SO hours. This heavy fall of
rain occurred at Hanalei. The rain
began to fall last Tuesday and the
storm continued the following day.
During the first twenty four hours the
rain fall was 5 inches. The storm in
creased in volume somewhat during the
last twelve hours, for the rain fall dur
ing that time was inches.
b Other places along the northern part
of Kauai experienced very heavy rain.
The rain was reported to be falling
heavily in the Waimea and Kekaha
districts and at Eleele and Makaweli
this week. No reports of any over
flows of the reservoirs was received and
when the Ke Au Hou left yesterday,
there seemed no danger of any such
damage being done, although the en-
tire islanu appears to have been visit
ed by the storm.

ON THE
FAMOUS ALABAMA
CAPTAIN SHERBURNE OF BRITISH
S. S. ISLEWORTH WAS IN LAST
FIGHT WITH KEARSARGE.

One of the survivors of the crew Of
the famous Confederate privateer Ala
bama is in Honolulu. He is Captain
Sherburne the master of the British S.
S. Isleworth. Captain Sherburne was
on the Alabama in the historical fight
between her and the United States ship
Kearsarge when Captain Winslow of
the latter vessel forever removed the
Alabama from the seas. Admiral
Semmes the commander of the Con-
federate vessel and many of his crew,
were saved. The fight occurred in 1865
off Cannes, and was witnessed by thou
sands of people from the shores. There
are few survivors of either crew living
now.
The famous Alabama claims after the
Civil War nearly involved the United
States and Great Britain in war. The
claims We're finally settled by the Brit
ish Government paying in the neigh
borhood of $15,OOO,O00
The fact that Captain Sherburne had
been a member of the Alabamas crew
in the last fight she made, became
known from a conversation he had with
Customs Inspector Shehan The lat
ter is a veteran Of the Civil War and
served in the American Navy. An ex-
change Of "reminiscences led Captain
Sherburne to refer to his connection
with the famous priVateer.
