BAD COLLISION.
G. A. r. Special Strikes Team
Driven by Francisco Mon
toya Of the West Side
DRIVER LOSES LEGS
Horses Killed, Wagon Smashed.
C0sinc Vigil Thrown Some dis
tance, but not Hurt.
SIGNALS SOUNDED AS USUAL

Yesterday morning the Pennsylva-
MIA G. A. r. special at q crossing q
mile and a half below the city struck
team driven by Francisco Montoya
of the west side. Both horses were
killed and the wagon was demolished,
the driver lost both legs and 16-year-
old boy, Cosine Vigil, who was in the
wagon. was slightly injured.
The train was delayed thirty-five
minutes while doctor on board was
examining the wounds OF the injured.
Montoya went under the engine and
both legs were crushed. He was sent
to the city and taken to the Santa Fe
hospital, where one leg was ampu-
tated above the knee and the other
below the knee Despite the serious
nature of the injuries he has an ex-
cellent chance for recovery. He has
high vitality and strong constitu-
tion.
The engineer gave the usual signal
on approaching the crossing. Mon
toya had been across the track to
get his team and was returning to
the city. He believed there was time
to pass before the train reached him,
But the special was coming on at a
good rate OF speed and his team was
not fast. The outfit was struck square
ly and the horses and vehicle were
buried some distance. The boy was
ptcs-d up vnirrs fcre from me pu1n,
OF collision. Little damage was done
to the engine.
There was considerable excitement
among the old soldiers and theil
friends when they found their special
had struck the team. Many of the
passengers had heard the signal fol
the crossing. Several were looking
out the window and saw the coils
ion. For moment they held theil
breath, thinking the train might b,
ditched.
| The injured man is well known ant
well connected. Many friends hop,
for his recovery and sympathize witt
him in the misfortune.

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT

The Symphony concert at the Ha-
waiian Opera House last Saturday
evening, was at once an accomplish
ment and an inspiration. An ambitious
performance. it was wOrthily and mer-
itOriously given, and is an inspira ton
to further endeavor on the part of the
Honolulu symphony Society, and a
matter for congratulation. for all who
love music or desire the spread of cul-
tiyated tastes in the community.
The audience that heard the concert
was not as large as ii should have been
either from the point of view of its
worth, or from the fact that it was the
first symphony concert ever given in
Honolulu. 1t is to be hoped that when
next the society gives a public concert
it will receive the compliment of a
larger attendance. Certainly no worth
Ter influence can be encouraged than
that of a strictly musical organizat ton
such as the Symphony Society is, de-
voting it's efforts to the seriuos cult
walton of music as an art and MOI
merely as a pastime.
Mrs. George w. Macfarlane as the
soloist gave great pleasure. Her selec-
ton was Ave Maria,' the text used
an English one by Fred e. Weatherly
The musical inscription was the In
termezzo from Mascagni's Cayalleria
Rusticana. Mrs. Macfarlane possesses
in rich measure that valued and too
rare quality, splendid enunciation.
The selection which gave the char
| acteristic to the concert was Schubert /.
unfinished Symphony" in b Minor.
A most interesting historical and de-
scriptive dissertation on this compost
ton prepared by William F. APP
thorp for a similar program of the
Boston symphony Society was given
on the program. A reading of this,
with careful following of Director w.
f. Jocher's baton, would go far toward
being a liberal musical education, on
its intellectual side, to anyone who
really loves music. Mr.. Jocher added
to the reputation, as a conductor, he
had established in conducting the or
chestra in the recent performance of
Mariana" Without being laborious
in manner, he directed, guided, control
led, the various instruments that COM
bined to render the beauties of Schu-
bert's composition.
The violin quartette which rendered
the Prayer From Lohengrin," b. u.
Marx, William A. Love, DR.. o. E. Wall,
and Arthur Davies, gave a careful
handling to the Wagnerian music that
was not lacking either, in spirit or
subtlety. lMozarts ''L'Impressario,"
! Bach'S FantaSla, Elm Marchen,' and
a Polish National Dance" by Schar-
wenka, and a Hungarian National
Dance" by Hasselman, completed tho
program, though two pieces in lighter
vein given in response to recalls were
a delightful finale to a splendid even'
ing's music. One of these was entitled
After the Ball" The other was a
spirited composition by one of the
members of the society, called a Chi
nese March," being in pizzicato and in
imitation of Chinese music.

Applications for the bugs are requir-

eight inches high for the confinement
of the bugs and with every consign-
ment Professor Perkins gives the fol-
lowing instructions:
l. DO not open the box until reach
ing the spot where the contents are to
be liberated.
2. Choose a lantana bush or several
adjoining bushes in a place sheltered
as much as possible from all wind, or
at least the prevailing wind; the bush
or bushes should have many flowers
and green berries on them and should
be free from ants.
3. Rest the pieces of infected Ian
tana in such bush or bushes towards
the top or at least well off the ground.
4. Berries that become detached in
transit should be dropped in the shade
at the roots of the bush.
