Both vessels bring news of the spread of eprosy in the islands. Whiles are being taken down with the disease, and two men were sent to Molokai while the Aus- tralia was in port. In one instance the case was a particu- larly sad one. Gideon West is one of the best-known merchants in Hawaii. For years he has conducted a sash and door factory in Honolulu and has prospered. Nearly all his assistants were kanakas, and he was constantly in contact with them. One day a knife in one of the machines broke and a piece of it flew into West’s eye. The injury finally resulted formed This was se West, who is T the matter a thought unul his eve be an o trouble him sgain. The doctors were called in again and another examination was held The case was at once diagnosed as leprosy and be was ordered removed to Mo.okai. His wife would not believe that ber busband was afflicted until he was actually removed to the Receiving Hos- pital. Then she lay down and died of a broken heari. Just aboui the time that Mr. West was being domiciled in the leper seitlement his wife's remains were being carried (o their last resting-place. Another vicum who went to the leper setiement with the unfortunate mer- Breuus, a popular young lineman in the employ of the teiephone company. How he became inoculated is thus explained by people who came up on the Australia: Years ago the young Breuns were vacci- nated. There was something wrong with the iymph, and the operation was a faii- ure. “Tue children nex: door had been vaccinated atthe same time, and in their case it was @ success. Some lymph was taken from their sores and the young Breuns were vaccinated again wiin it. Nearly sll the children have reached ma- turity, and nearly ali the neighbor’s chii- dren” are now lepers. Tbe disease soread to the Breuns' family, and George is the second one of them that has been consigned to Molokai. A native woman is a peculiar examvle of immunity from the disease. She has bad four husbands, every one of whom be- came lepers and were deported, yei she n or eight vears ago, and but they serve to show that leprosy is not dying out in Hawaii. el B A LIGHTHOUSE TENDER. The Yosemite Broke Down In the Bay and Was Picked Up by the Sternberg. plies between here and Lime Point, broke down yesterday morning while on her way back to the station. The tide was very sirong ebbat tne time, and the little sieamer began to drift outtosea. Cap- tain John McFarland, on the quarantine boat George M. Siernberz, saw the pre. dicament in which tbhe Yosemite was placed, and at once went to her assistance. She was towed to Jackson-street wharf, where repairs were made. The break- down was caused by the bursting of one of the steampipes, thus rendering the engines nseless. The water-front thievesare still at work. Thursday night they boarded the barken- tine Marion, lying at Bsale-street wharf, and got away with $10 In cash and the captain's new suit of clothes. An un- known, who is described as being 5 fect 6 inches high, stout build, dark complexion, very small black mustuche, 21 or 22 vears old, fias been .victimizing the merchants along the front. Yesterday he went to Madison, Bruce & Sellers and purchased a quantily of turpentine, ostensibly for E. H. Kittridge & Co., but when tne biil was presenled the firm repudiated it. Then Madison, Bruce & Sellers placed the matter in the hands of the Harbor Police. This is about the seventh case that has been reported 1o the police since the young man described above began operations, The remains of Eimond Pait, chief en- gineer of the little steamer Equator, came down on the City of Puebla yesterday. During the voyage to Alaska Mr. Puit was taken sick and was Tsland. ‘There he was cared for by the Baptist missionaries, bat finally suc- cumbed 1o his disease. The body was emoalmed and_sent to Port Townsend on the schooner Ethel Zane, and was then iranshipped to the City of Puebla. A new steamer for the Wilder Steam- ship Company is being completed at the Union Iron Works. She is to take the place of the Like-Like, but her name will not be known for some time. G. P. Wilder, who came up on the steamer Aus tralis from Honolulu, will name the new vessel, and will probably go back to Ha- wail on her.

His Court Was Clesed for His Own Conveniencs During the Trial. Nearly Four Thousand Dollars Taken Out of the Treasary for Libesl Litigation. Judge Daingerfield has ordered cases of Frederick Marriott, Thomas Williams Jr., George B. Conant, Benja- min Lucey, A. L. Casavaw, F. H. Qual- map, E. F. Kendail and T. H. McCarthy postponed unt:l the 12.h of next July. The defendants were willing to begin their trial on the 4:h of the month men- tioned, as they have ail along contended that they are siruggling for the right of American freedom of speech. It may be remembered that they stand charged with libeling Judge J. C. B. Hebbard of the Superior Court because they criticized him while he was a candi- date for re-eiection to the bench. Two trials of the issues involved have been without aconviction having been obtaine d, and no seasonable person ever expected 4 conviction. The expense to the community has been tabuiated as follows: Expenses Depariment 2 court): Marrlott cay the (Judgy Datngerflela’s $432 00 180 00 105 00 | Judge . 207 00 District Atiorney. 200 00 Balllff....... 50 00 Total..... ....81,214 00 Expenses Department 4 (Judge Hebbard's eourt) : Juige's salary Cerk Bauiff Total..

The addition of the of Judge Hebbard and his cotrt officers is explained by the fact that during the trial of the cases against the accused the proceedings of that department of the Superior Court were suspended, Judge Hebbard seeming | to think his presence necessary proper conduct of the prosecution. An addition may now be appropriately made to the cost of these worse than use- less prosecutions, hecause after the con- clusion of the Marriott case Judee Heb- bard was so worn out by nis fruities; ef- forts to secure a conviction that he was compelled to goaway to the springs to recuperaie his wasted energies, but con- tinued to draw his salary the same as if he was at work. for the FLORAL SOOIETY. The Regular Monathly Meeting of the Soclety Took Flace Yesterday. The California State Fioral Society held its regular monthiy meeting in the maple room of the Palace Hotel yesterday after- noon. Dr. Lorenzo Gordon Yates, feliow of the Linnean Society of London, deliy- eed a most interesting lecture on’ ferns. | The room was decorated with ferns of all kinds and descriptions, producing a most beauticui effect, In the coilection there were all known ferns west of the Rocky Mountains, some from New Caledonia, and all known specimens from New Zea- | land. Mr. Henderson of Berkeley exhibited rare pansies, and of curnations and pelar- <oniums there were any number, alt so lovely that it would be impossible 1o speak of any one in particular.
