careloaB Chinaman in tho emnll
Ohiuoso planing mill just on the
other side of tho Haaliliatnanu
bridge, King Btreot, betweou oight
and uino o'clock this morning.
At tho time mentioned, a loud
report was hoard and pooplo iu
the vicinity eaw part of tlie corru
gated iron roof of tho shop blown
into tho air. A little lntor on, n
Chinaman, covered with soot and
dirt, ran out into the Btreot. Ho
oxplainod that the boiler of the
planing mill ongino had ex
ploded. It was found that the fellow bad
allowed the water to get vory low
in tho boilorand had thon pumped
in cold water. Tho explosion no
cessorily followed. Tho China
man seomod to think that what he
had dono was perfectly proper.
Lucky, tho power of tho 125
pounds of steam was spent, half
in an npward and half in a down,
ward direction. Had it been other
wise, sorno ono would have beon
killed.
Tho top of tho boiler was lifted
clear of the tubes and the stack
was blown a'hundrod feet into tho
air nud deposited in tho nextyard.
As mentioned above part of the
roof was nUo blown into tho air
and deposited in difforent diroe
tioiix. The whole bottom was
blowu out of the boiler.

Gear, Lansing & Co. have pur

tains an area of 6000 or GOOO
acres, extending from the

adjoins the Bile of tho now planta

meat Bupply for tho local raarkot
has of late assumed vital import
ance, tho purchase of such a large

able investment.
The Honolulu Brewing & Molt

Satisfactory Progress of Drilling Oper
ations on Reef at Iwllel.
No Difficult Material for Dredging Encoun
teredBlack Sand Cornea Up Spring
of Fresh Water Discovered.
Yesterday afternoon a BULLETIN
reportor accompanied tho pro
motors of tho Kalihi harbor
Bchemo in carriages out to the
soeno of preliminary surveys on
tbo reef. This is botwoeu tho
Iwilei abattoir and the quarantine
station.
Captain Rosoliill, with four
men, are boring holes in tho bot
tom to find out what sort of work
a dredger would havo in excavat
idg a channel between Honolulu
harbor and Ealihi baein. As
stated beforo In this paper, a
canal a miio ana a halt long and
a few foot more thau two hundred
in width i'b designed.
Work of boring began on Mon
day last Although the plant is a
nana working ono, good progress
has been made by tho small crew.
Whon the party went out
vestorday, tho fourth boro
had only been etnrtod an hour or
two provious. It had got do'wn
seven toet, howover, and m
less than au hour the visitors
stayed, four feot farthor had been
reaobed.
Tho first threo holes wero suuk,
respectively, hi, za ouu 32 loot.
Generally, thero wbb found four
or fivo foot of soft coral, then
strata of Band, clay and coral. In
sorno places black sand was
pumped out of tho boro, and from
ono hole issued a stream of fresh
water. There is from bix Inches
to two feet of salt water covering
rue reer. xuo greatest resistance
to the drill has beon in soft mate
rial, as it is more clogging than
tho fragments of coral.
Between the sido boundaries of
the proposed canal tho holes are
being made in a zigzag course
from COO to 1000 feet nnart. It is
estimated by the promoters that
ttio land to bo mado bv hllmcr un
with the dredgings will go far, if
not all tho way, toward paying
ior ino cost or excavating.

Passport Law Case.
Justico Frenr writes tho unani
mous opinion of the Supremo
Court iu thocaso of J. H. Schnack
va. J. II. Hare. Tho law is thus
stated:
"Our btatuto of UBury does not
prevent tho recovery of tho prin
cipal where principal and usuri
ous intotest aro separable, ovoo
though they aro lumped together
in tho note sued on.
"Payments made on account of
such noto should be applied to
tbo principal."
Defendant gavo plaintiff a note
for i3() payable six months after
its date, and afterward made pay
ment) theroon amounting to $80.
Plaintiff owod for the balanoe of
$50 and interest from January 18,
189G. Evidence ehowod .that tho
noto was given for a loan of 8100
and interest S30, or at the rate of
5 percont a month, Tho District
Court gave judgment for the de
fondant, Hare, on tho ground
that the law said uo action could
bo maintained for tho rocovery of
interest bighor than two and a
half porcont a month.
Tho Supromo Court dooidos
that tho paymonts mado by tho
defendant should be applied to
the legal port of tho dobt, and
therefore tho plaintiff is entitled
to only $20. It reverses the judg
ment of, tho Distriat Magistrate,
remitting tho case to him for
entry of judgment in accordance
with this opinion. Do Bolt for
plaintiff; Ohillingworth for de
fondant. The Supremo Court unanimous
ly affirms tho judgmont of tho Dis
trict Court in Maty Achi vs. F. A.
Sovorin, for restitution of proper
ty, five dollars damogea and costs,
holding, "A photographer has no
lien upon pictures loft with him
from which to make enlarged
copies, for the value of the conios."
Iho opinion is by Justice Frear.
It is found that tho law relied on
by defendant was not applicable,
because his labor was oxpeuded in
making other pictures, and not in
tho improvement of tbo picturos
from which tho enlirgeraonU wero
made. An authority is quoted
where a printer was hold to have
no lion upon platos for his bill for
Srinting from them. Achi &
ohnson for plaintiff; Henshall
for defendant.
