TWO PERSONS INJURED.

The household of a Japanese a mile
down the line from Pearl City was less
fortunate. Both the father and a little
child We're injured. A tree in it's des-
cent tore through the wall of the house.
Part of it struck the father in the
head, causing severe abcasions. One of
his children had an arm broken by the
stroke of a branch. There being no
doctor procurable the little one suffer
ed without surgical attention until
brought to town in the first train, which
arrived about noon yesterday. Mr.
Lyle, on the way up, afforded some re-
lief to the youngster by procuring
warm moistened towel al Chinese
store to keep down the swelling in the
injured arm.
WAIKIKI BRIDGE DESTROYED.
The force of water rushingedown from
two valleys yesterday destroyed the
big bridge at Waikiki. Early in the
morning there were signs that the
bridge would go. Small sections of the
concrete sea wall and of the similar
walls which supported the ends of the
bridge commenced to crumble away.
Underneath were the cable and water
mains. The water main was the big
kiki district The cable main was
small three inch pipe, containing the
land section of the cable and running
from the cable hut at Waikiki to the
Alexander Young building. On one
side of the bridge is narrower skeIe-
ton bridge which is used exclusively
by the Rapid Transit cars. The Rapid
Transit bridge was not destroyed but
for a portion of the day it was not
used, as Manager Ballantyne did not
wish to run any risk of accident in
case this bridge had been weakened by |
the giving way of the larger structure. |
When nearly all of the end walls of |
the big bridge had been torn away the |
ia brio was held in place solely by the |
water and cable mains. Soon the water |
pipe burst and this left the weight of |
the bridge hanging on the cable main.
The cable company Immediately had
men on the scene who cut away the
bridge from the main and left it dam
