Where and by Whom
Was Marriage PerfOrmed2

when and where were Eugene II
Grace and Mrs. Daisy Opie married?"
is a question being asked in both Allan
Ia and Philadelphia. The condition Of
Grace is such that his physicians will
not permit him to be interviewed on
this or any other subject. and the at
torneys for Mrs. Grace positively for
bid her to discuss her affairs with any
one.
No information concerning the mar
rage can be had from any of Grace's
Georgia relatives or from any Of the
kinspeople of Mrs. Grace in Philadel-
phia- The woman's lawyers say they
have the marriage certificates in their
possession and intimate that they would
welcome any attack on the marriage.
They have not considered it advisaOIe
to exhibit the certificates nor to refer
to them for an answer to the question
asked above.
It is known. that few weeks after
his marriage TO Mrs. Opie. Grace had a
rather heated controversy with Mrs.
Martha Uirich, mother or Mrs. Grace.
and other of the woman's relatives con-
corning reports said to have originated
with them TO the effect that Grace and
his wife were not married
In one of the letters written by Grace
to his mother-in-law on this subject he
was very severe in his censure, and he
took occasion to declare that I'VE are
not only married, but for reasons Of our
own we had a second ceremony per-
formed. and the certificates are now in
our possession" Grace threatened to
proceed in the courts against his wife's
relatives if they did not cease ques-
ton of his marriage
on March s, instant, the supposed
wedding anniversary of the Graces, and
three days after the husband was taken
from his home with a bullet in his
side, The Journal published the fol-
lowing telegram from New York: "A
marriage license was issued to Mrs
Daisy Ulrich Opie, of Philadelphia, and
Eugene II. Grace, of Atlanta. on March
S, 1911, and they were married at the
Little Church Around the Corner, East
29th street. New York city, the same
day.
They came to New York from Phila-
delphia for the wedding. and had been
seen together night after night in the
cafes Of the latter city, and often fit
ted around in n high-pOwered automo-
bile"
NO RECORD FOUND.
The Journals correspondent in New
York was Thursday instructed to ex-
anime the marriage records at the New
York city hall. His search was not
successful. lie wired The Journal as
follows:
mo record Of Grace and Opie mar
rage at city hall from January / to
April II, 1911, nor any such record at
Little Church Around the Corner"
II is possible that the marriage was
solemnized in some other city, but such
a fact has not yet been developed.
In many of the letters written by
Grace to his wife he takes occasion to
refer to his "God-given mate and in
all he addresses her as his darling
wife"

RAILWAY FACILITIES IN HAWAII

by f. C. Smith, in the San Fran
cisco Chronicle:
Considering that their origin is of
recent date. the railways of the Terri
tory of Hawaii are quite in line with
other institutions in the islands
There are chair cars, not palatial but
comfortable, and ordinary coaches UP
to the standard Baldwin locomotives
draw trains equipped with the latest
appliances for safety and comfort,
and the beds of most Of the roads are
ballasted with the same care and at.
tention which marked many Of those
in the States. while the administra-
tive and executive departments of the
companies are as complete as the sys-
TENS.
The development Of mo sugar in.
dustry here is parent to that of the
railways. Though the former had its
start on the island Of Lanai as long
ago as 1916, railways lid not material
i2e until 1873, when Captain Hebron,
of the island of Maui, built the Wal
luku and Kahului Railway. The first
train ran over the line a year later,
and the call was great for extension
] so that Hamakuapoko soon had trans
portation facilities The road, which
had a length of Gle zen miles, was
without bridge, cut or curve Seven
plantations along the line acted as
feeders for this little narrow. gauge
railway, which, at the end Of its first
fiscal year. had two BALDWIN locomo-
tives, two passenger and sixty freight
cars. Its annual report of three years
later showed freight tonnage 20 be,
for the year, $4,000 tons of sugar and
10000 tons of merchandise, while its
passenger trafin had average so per-
sons a week.
A few weeks later the control of the
Waikiki and Kahului Railway passed
to the hands of Samuel G. Wilder,
and railway construction was the
dream of several prominent citizens
for a time The island of Hawaii Of
fered opportunities for a railway
service, for it was without Transports
ton facilities until Wilder began the
Hawaii Railway. The line extended
from Mahukona to Kohala, the ter
minus be Multi, twenty miles from
the terminal, to which point it was
completed in 1882. 1t is not marked
by engineering difficulties, for of the
gulches but twenty were spanned by

base to rails, eighty-four feet. Numer

First Equipment.
The equipment reported at the end
of the first year included three loco
motives, four passenger cars and a
caboose, FIVE fiat and thirty box cars.
All of the sugar made in the Kohala
district had to be taken to tidewater
for shipment to the coast, or to Homo
lulu, and the cars of the Hawaii Rail
way did the business. Fifteen years
ago the traffic was curtailed to a de-
gree through the Hind estate con-
structing a wharf at Honoipu and
carrying the sugar from its planta-
lions by means of traction engines.
This condition obtains today, but the
increasing crops of the other planta-
tions give the railway plenty to do.
In 1887 the ideas of B. F. Dilling
ham relative to a railway on the isl
and of Oahu began to crystalize, and
he went to London to interest capital
lists in the scheme. The Legislature
Of that year had authorized a loan,
and a representative of the King Wis
tied the British metropolis, hoping to
float the Government loan But it
was a revolutionary period and enc
mics of the regime and of Mr.. Dilling-
ham sent word that the bonds of the
Government would be repudiated by
those who felt certain the King would
be overthrown. There were neither
civil not governmental loans nego-
tiated that year, and the construction
of the railway was postponed until
1889. On March 4th of that year
ground was broken for the Oahu Rail
way and Land Company's tracks, and
on September 4th of the same year a
trial trip was made over the line,
constructed almost to Pearl Lochs. A
number of prominent men accom-
panied Dillingham; on that ride and
expressed themselves dengnJeu WITH
the road and the prospects. Before
the end of the year there was a three
train daily service between Honolulu
and Aeia, and later between Honolulu
and Eva Courthouse. With the con
struction of the railway, Eva planta-
ton, destined to be one of the most
successful, as well as one of the larg
est, was established.
Before the Oahu Railway was under
construction, Wilder, m his minds
eye, saw the Kohala-Hilo railway line
drawing along the windward coast OF

In 1899 railway construction In the
Territory seems to go in cycles) the

district. island OF Hawaii where the
Olaa plantation had been established
through his efforts.
Railway Necessary.
A railway was necessary to carry
the product Of the plantation from the
mill to the sea and material from the
sea to the plantation. No time was
lost Rights of way were secured be-
tween Hilo and the plantation lands,
and grading began in earnest. Wise
acres prophesied failure, and, to prove
them false, the superintendent trans
formed a couple of fiat cars into a
locomotive and a coach, the engine
being a donkey from one of the shops
in town. When this was taken out
the road had been completed a dis
lance of five miles, and the prelimin-
airy trip was a success. Today it's
main line is twenty-five miles long,
and a branch into Puma extends
twenty-three miles.
While this road was under construc-
ton a company was organized to take
up the Kohala-Hilo Railway scheme
where it had been abandoned by
Wilder. The company was without
capital other than that furnished by
it's promoter, a Chicago real estate
man, who finally gave up and left
| nothing but unpaid bills as a remind
, er of his presence. Later another en-
thusiastic and earnest promoter took
up the matter, but through lack OF
| experience and lack of funds, was OBJ
liged to give it up. Last year, ten
years after the attempt had been
made by the Chicago man the Dilling
ham interests stepped into the breach
and at present trains are running
/ over the rails between Hilo and Pa
kaikou, and early i'll 1911 they will
( be running to Hakalau, thirteen miles
from Hilo. Bridges have been con
structed and roadbed graded to that
point and under the supervision of q
corps of engineers the work is prog
ressing rapidly. Bonds have beer
sold for an extension of the line along
the entire Hamakua coast.
1t will be observed that B. F. Dill
bingham has been closely identified
with the railways of Hawaii. His frs
effort at railway building, the Oahl
Railway and Land Company, is by fal
the most important of all. It has
