MT. FRIENDSHIP CHURCH TRUSTEES MEET
Put Themselves on Record in Matter Of Recent
Disturbances at Campmeeting Grove.

Put Themselves on Record in Matter Of Recent
Disturbances at Campmeetiug Grove
Whereas, We the trustees, members
and friends of Mt. Friendship, feel a
deep sense of regret for the wicked
and, atrocious deeds committed at our
camp meeting Sunday August 9th, and
whereas these, and similar crimes can
only be perpetrated by that class who
carry human form but possess nothing
more than brute dispositions, and
whereas our longstanding reputation
has been misrepresented, and our fair
name smirched Ay these human pests,
who have brought shame to the Race
and undue disturbance to the COM
munity and distress to the many friends
who assemble on this sacred spot once
a year for the purpose of divine wor-
ship, to meet friends, and thank God
for the preservation of their lives, and
whereas the class of friends referred to
has also caused the community at large
to look upon the negro with degree of
contempt and disregard, believing him
to be dangerous aud vicious. We there
fore desire as officers and members Of
Mt. Friendship Church to disclaim all
relation to them and their wicked
traits only as creation connects us; we
also believe that they should not be
classed with that portion of mankind
who enjoy human liberty but should
be confined in prison walls and have
meted out to them the most rigid
penalty of the law. And whereas the
Attorney General, because of bloodshed
and murder demanded that the camp
meeting be discontinued,
Resolved, That we pledge to him our
highest regards and appreciation as in
his judgement it would make for the
protection of lives and persons of
citizens.
Resolved End, That we place our
selves on record to aid in any way the
prosecution and bringing to justice
any or all of them who thus violate the
state laws by their highhanded and out
rageous deeds, we also trust that thos'
now in custody may reap their reward
at the hands of justice.
Resolved 3rd, That we complimen
the officers of the law with the man
ayers of the Friendship Camp, fol
their prompt arrests, and speedy prose
cution of these human destroyers, anC
we think if such steps are taken in ever.

WALKERS CONTRACT
HELD TO Be VALID

John Walkers contract for dredging
the Alakea street slip is declared by
the Supreme Court to be legal. AL
though the court does not agree with
Judge Robinson in the theory that the
superintendent of Public Works had
power to waive the condition of GER
tilted check accompanying each pro-
posal. it holds that it was within that
officials discretion to take the securi-
ty rendered by Walker "as substan-
tial compliance with the terms OF the
advertisement calling for tenders" The
injunction is dissolved.
Justice Hatch writes the decision.
Circuit Judge De Bolt sat in place of
Chief Justice Frear. Robertson & Will
der appeared for Lord & Belser, COM
p1ainants; Attorney General Andrews
for superintendent Holloway and Au-
ditor Fisher, and Holmes & Stanley
for Walker.
Walkers bid was $16SO00, the next
lowest being $1SS, 800. The bid of Lord
& Belser, $2O9, 900, was next to the high
est. Walkers security was a certified

JUDGMENT IN KONA
CASE is REVERSED

Chief Justice Frear is author of
decision of the Supreme Court revers-
ing the findings and judgment of Judge
De Bolt in the suit of w. w. Bierce,
Ltd, VS.. c. j. Hutchins, trustee. The
judgment was in favor of plaintiff for
the return of property consisting of the
railway plant of the defunct Kona
Sugar Company and $1,000 damages, or.
if the property could not be returned
the payment of it's declared value $22,-
600.
The ground of the decision is that the
plaintiff should have elected which of
its assumed rights it proceeded under,
as it at first claimed a materialman's
lien on the property as if the owner
ship was in the defendants, and next
brought a replevin suit as if the own
ership was in itself. There is no cleo
ton where the first remedy is adopt
ed through ignorance, but the court
cannot say that such was the state of
affairs in this case. "A materialman's
lien cannot be enforced for ienable
items under an entire contract which
covers nonalienable items also. but in
this case the court holds that the prices
of at least some OF the lienable items
are severa bic"
The case is remanded to the court
below for such further proceedings as
may be proper. 1t is declared to be
matter of law for the construction of
the contracts. Kinney, McClanahan e.

vious day. There is a son aged Is
years, for whose support the hbeIlee is
ordered to pay s25 a month. He must
also pay costs of court and an attor-
ney's fee of $50. The couple were mar
ried on October II, 1885. at Woodland,
California. W. r. Castle appeared for
libellant. The libellee was called three
times in court but did not appear.

A FAIR EXCHANGE.

Large sums Of money are no

What Occurred to the Expedition Com

3 Against Mike the Pieman.
Mike the Pieman was n little shriy-
eled-up old man, who had been in the
pie business for more years than any
,ne in the neighborhood could rcmem-
Der.
His stand was on the curb outside
the principal entrance of The Maiden's
Blush, and he drove a roaring trade,
seldom going home without his entire
Stock being cleared out.
He made only one sort of pie. what
sort of pie that pie was no man knew
except himself and no one inquired.
The cnly thing of which n buyer
could be sure of was, that the pies
were very hot in temperature and sea-
soning.
There was n legend that Mike the
Pleman was very rich. That is scarce
" probable. for q fortune Is not TO he

however. that he was wcll-to-do, for
