causing serious damage to new
Oahu Railway steel freight car laden
with twenty-five tons Of sugar,
caused the spreading of the rails,
over which a large train was pass
ing, and sent debris over a wide
area, is today receiving the atten-
ton from the police department as
well as several officials connected
with the Oahu Railway and Land
Company.
A blast which fairiy rocked the
upper section of the harbor and
caused a crowd to hurriedly gather
near the scene Of the explosion is
now Believed to have had its origin
from a Eeavy charge of black pow

investigation where it was left off

trainmen and switchmen, had mar
Tow escape from the death dealing

ahe long steel car which suffered
the most damage had been attached
to a train that was being moved from
the railway yards to the big sheds
