PACKERS CORNER EGGS.
Price May Soon Be Forced Up to go
Cents a Dozen.

Pitssburg, Pa, Feb. 6. - Local pro-
duce men allege that there will be a
shortage in eggs and that prices will
soar up to so cents a dozen, owing to
the action Of Chicago packers. The
first intimation of the corner came
when several Liberty avenue jobbers
most of whom have no eggs in stock,
called upon Swift and Armour for quo
tations. Both packing houses offered
storage eggs at "a cents. This led the
jobbers to investigate when one of
them received telegram from T. E.
Purcell & Co, the largest jobbers in
Chicago stating that the packers had
evidently cornered the market.

DOWN MARION STREET HILL
CRASHES INTO BUGGY.
Mr.. and Mrs. z. r, Earl, Myrtle o'nen.
nell, Anna Schwartz Severely In
Jured-Three Picked Up uncon-
sclous After Collision.

Four persons severely Injured, four
others severely bruised and scratched
and a single buggy wrecked were the
results of collision between bob
sled and buggy on Marion street, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets, about
$3.50 o'clock Saturday evening. That
one or more deaths and number Of
broken limbs and bones did not result
from the accident seems almost q mir
acle.
The accident was directly due to the
binding snow storm that was falling
at the time. Mr.. and Mrs q. r. Earl
who reside at the corner Of
Liberty and Oak streets, were
driving up Marion street. A boh-sled

ing,
Both Turned the Same Way.
The buggy had turned up Marion
street from Fourth street and had
reached a point almost midway the
distance between Fourth and Fifth
streets. Paul Cremer who was steer
ing the bob-sled states that he was un-
able to see the buggy until after the
bob had passed under the arc light on
Fifth street. Cremer steered the hob
to the right and the collision would
have perhaps been avoided had not tho
buggy turned to the same side Of the
road
The bob dashed beneath the horse
and the frightened horse leaped and
jerked the buggy upon the bob. Tho
right front wheel of the buggy war
crushed and the buggy overturned,
throwing Mr.. and Mrs. Earl to thu
ground The bob sled was upset and
three Of the occupants were Mncon-
scious when picked up.

OF March 6,1901 requiring express COM

OAHU CANDIDATES. FOR GOV.
ERNOR.

HONOLULU. June 26.-W. O.
Smith and II. E. Cooper, so the in
dications are, are about neck and
neck at present for the main office
of the Territory. Heretofore Smith
has always been regarded as a
supporter of Cooper.
The governorship is the first
topic of conversation everywhere.
Opinion is not as pronounced as it
might be were it known just what
Carter has in mind; whether or
not he is determined to resign.
The Planters Association has ask
ed him to remain and today the
Chamber of Commerce passed re-
solutions to the effect that he re-
consider.
Carter's resignation has certain
" stirred the business community
whose members are apparently
against any change on the ground
that too frequent changes of ad-
ministration are bad for CONNER
cial interests. They don't know
who may succeed; and naturally,
perhaps, fear the appointment OF
some man who may start out in a
way all his own and upset business
by reason of doubt as to what he
is going to do next.
Smith, like all men, has his
critics as well as his friends and
the former declare that in office he
would be altogether to arbitrary
in his administration, notwith-
standing his influence for harmony
as a private though prominent
citizen,
Cooper is conceded to be man
of energy, initiative, persistence,
integrity, popularity and good,
sound executive sense, combined
with fairness and an appreciation
of the public good.
II. p. Baldwin has made it clear
to friends and every one else that
he cannot be considered for tie

governorship. Mr.. Baldwin feels
that moral obligations are all
powerful that he shall finish the
work in connection with planta-
ton properties which he has un-
dertaken and which cannot be
completed for more than year.
AS to the Kepoikai matter, Mr..
Baldwin stated this morning that
the morning paper was not correct
in saying that his name had been
forged to the Kepoikai resolutions.
And at the same time he had not
signed the resolutions. He was
not present at the meeting. He
has not signed the resolutions.
Therefore the copies given out tor
publication with his name attach
ed were misleading. 1t was ex-
pected by the meeting that Bald
wins signature would be secured.
Mr.. Baldwin's friends seem to
think that the appointment OF
Kepoikai will be impossible in
view Of his endorsement by the
Home Rulers and that Baldwin's
first choice will be w. o. Smith,
and failing in that he would select
Ii. E. Cooper.
The Home Rulers held a meet
ing Saturday night and endorsed
Judge Kepoikai OF Maui for gov
ernor after j. Nj. Poepoe had been
suggested and had refused to be
considered and the name of Sam
Parker had been mentioned. 1t
was the sense of the meeting that
the Home Rulers remain fused
with the Democrats until the next
campaign, then to put up fusion
ticket that will stand some show
of success.

and arming of a Citizens Guard on
each island to act has reserve
force to work in conjunction with
the police, and in case of the estab
fishing of sub-posts, the regulars
if necessary, and until such time
as the National Guard could be
legally called out"
Certainly the National Guard
should be maintained by all
means, but in the absence of an
appropriation by the Territory,
let each county support its own
companies"
Fifty dollars a month will be
all that is needed for actual, not
special, expense money. For in
stance, the Federal government
provides the militia with arms and
accoutrements, and yet in the event
of call for target practice this
fifty dollars or such part of
it as is necessary could be de-
voted to the providing of shells,
provisions and other necessities.
"But this matter of asking the
War Department, by a mammoth
petition, to establish on each is
land sub-post and a detachment
of regulars is one that should not
be lightly passed over, but if
coming events count for anything
and the suggestions of army and
navy officers are worth consider
alton we cannot start this move
ment too soon." }
