A local steamer returned to Homo
lulu from the leper settlement at Molokia
on August II, with Marshal Hopkins. who.
with Superintendent Evans and twelve
policemen, had been there TO investigate a
reported outbreak. There were TWENTY
nine natives concerned in the disturbance
and of these, fourteen were arrested and
tried on charge of assaultlng Superin
tendent Evans, who was badly maltreated.
They were convicted and sentenced to diff
ferent terms of Imprisonment. The cause
of the disturbance was that the parties
understood that Evans intended pulling
down all the houses in Kalawao because
one dilapidated structure had been torn
down.
King Kalakua gave a banquet at Lontani
palace to Rear Admiral Brown previous
to the cruiser Charleston leaving the IS
land, which she did under stated orders. 1t
is stated that the United States ship
marine, instead of the Iroquois, will re-
lieve the Nipsic.

British Capital in West Virginia.

The Scotch Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company, backed by ample British capt
tai, has purchased, for immediate develop
ment, over quarter of a million acres of
the finest timber and mineral land in West
Virginia, lying in Wyoming and Mcdowell
counties, and will proceed at once to de
velop it. This company has already been
incorporated under the laws of West Nir-
ginia to construct a railroad from Charles
ton, a point in the Clinch valley, to con-
meet with the Norfolk 4 Western railroad,
and construct railroads which will pene-
trate the lands of this company. This
will open up a large area of undeveloped
land in this State and bring to market
some of its finest coal and timber.

THERE seems to be some reason for
believing that the Gar is mentally un-
settled by political anxiety and per-
sonal fear. There is scarcely any
other explanation of his course in
adding to all the perplexities which he
cannot avoid, the utterly unnecessary
ones arising from renewed severity to
the Jews and from interdicting the
work of missionaries not of the Greek
church. A sane man would endeavor
to make friends, when he needs them
so sorely, rather than take course
which is surely to ALLEVIATE those he
has

Foreclosures In Kansas.

The Topeka Capital published let
ters from forty-three district court clerks
showing the number of foreclosures of
farm mortgages in their respective coun-
ties during the first six months of 1890.
The total number of foreclosures is l., 1o3,
about twenty-five to the county. The
total for the 105 counties on the same basis
would be 1850, or probably about $1,000
900 A significant feature Of the report is
the fact that a large portion of the fore
closures are on unoccupied lands bought
up and mortgaged for what they would
bring by speculation.

New YORK. Sept. 2.-The State
Board of Arbitration began an investfga-
ton here to-day as to the dispute existing
between the New York Central railroad
snd knights of Labor
Third Vice President Webb of the New
York Central was the first witness He
said that the company had no controversy
with its employees. On August 5 a large
number of employees left and their places
had been filed. The alleged cause was
that seventy-eight men out of 20. 900 had
been discharged. They were discharged
for good cause, but only seven of these
men applied to the company for informa
ton as to why they were discharged Sub
sequently gentleman from another State
called and wanted to know why the men
were discharged. Witness declined to give
the reasons. This gentleman was Mr.
Holland.
Upon being cross-examined by General
Roger Pryor, Mr.. Webb said that he had
discharged the men on reports from mem
oers of the secret service of the company
The charge itself was unsatisfactory ser
vice. An engineer named Lee was dis
charged for unsatisfactory service. Lee
was very arrogant and insoleut, and said
ne would tie up every wheel between here
and Buffalo if he dit not get some of the
Vanderbilt money.
Continuing Mr.. Webb said several of the
men knew the cause for which they were
discharged. Their relations with the
knights of Labor had nothing to do with
| their discharge. Mr.. Lees prominence in
the order was no reason for his discharge
Mr.. Webb was followed by members of
the knights of Labor who were discharged
from the New York CentraFs employ
Their testimony went over the ground
Of the alleged cause of their dismissals and
incidents connected Herewith.

If you wish to see things clearly,
and to be just with your fellowmen,
keep clear of the fumes of vanity and
the thick atmosphere of mere personal
feeling. Make it rule to see what a
man is and does, and to value him by
these things. A person may be very
distasteful to US and yet be emiuently
useful and successful in the world.

New YORK. Nov. AT half-past
eleven o'clock last night the pilot boat
Charles III. Marshall came to anchor off
Stapleton. She had been in the right
spot at the right time, and that spot
and time were off Barnegat tight at S
O'Clock yesterday morning. just in time
TO save the lives OF six Spanish sa iorS
from the wrecked steamship ViScaya,
ana second mate Angus Walker, of the
schooner Cornelius Hargraves, who had
Heated all night in the icy water sus-
tanned only by planks and other wreck
age, and who were almost dead
from exposure. The Spanish sailors
could not talk English, bat the crew of
the pilot boat had succeeded in learning
that they were the QuartermaSter, three
sailors and two coal passers. All are in
their hunks and suffering dreadfnily
from exposure, Some may die yet. The
crew OF the pilot boat have dene every
thing that compassion dictated, and their
skilled kindness, their staunch whisky
and substantial fare have done all that
doctor could do. The story told by
Walker is fully as terrible as that told
by the men who hung the liYelong night
like SpecterS to the sWaying snronds.
When his vessel went down he said he
grabbed heavy plank and hung on to
1t for dear life. Sixteen other men were
hanging Oh to the same plank. One by
one they grew faint and numb. relin-
quisiled their hold and drifted away.
Some sent messages to their fami-
lies in Massachusetts. When daylight
came he was alone on the plank with
no help in sight. He felt that he could
not bear up much longer aud resigned
himself to die. but suddenly heard a
shout, which he was too weak to an
swer, felt himself picked up. knew he
was safe and tainted away. 1t was z
O'Clock when the pilot boat picked him
up, and the others who had lived
through that awful night and who like
him were drifting about on the wreck
age. Capt. Allen. the engineer. and
cook, Walker said. had taken the boat
and pulled away, leaving everybody
else on board. The pilot boat cruised
about several hours looking for other
survivors. and finally, when all hope
was gone, set sail for the city.
The official list OF those known to
have been rescued from the Inflated
Vizcaya, is as follows:

HURLED FROM a BRIDGE
Two Little Girls Victims of a
Mad WOman's Rage.

BUFFALO. n. Y, Nov. 1.-One of the
most terrible murders ever known in
the history of Erie county was COM
of this city, last night. a young woman
named Sarah McMuIlen, aged nineteen,
formerly living in Buffalo, but lately
residing with Mrs. Patrick Brown, in
Akron, enticed Della Brown, aged six
years, and Nellie May ConnorS. aged
ten, on the Akron cement works mar
row gauge railroad bridge, height sixty
five feet, over Murder creek. All of a
sudden she pushed Della Brown
over the side of the bridge,
and then grabbed Nellie May
ConnorS and hurled her into the preci-
plce below. Nellie was instantly killed,
but fortunately little Della Brown lives
to tell the terrible tale as stated. Her
little arms and legs are broken, and al
though terribly bruised it is thought
of Akron searched for the missing girls
and found them at about 2 O'Clock this
morning. For several hours little Della
had laid on the stones at the side of the
creek, unable to move. She said to
Constable Burns that Sarah had hard
work in pushing Nellie Connors over
the side of the bridge, and came very.
near falling over herself. After com
hitting the act Sarah McMullens re-.
turned to Mr.. Browns house and said
to Mrs. Brown:
Il am going away. Perhaps you will not
see me again. at the same time extending
her hand. Mrs. Brown thought she was
fooling. when Sarah again spoke:
~ ell, if you won't shake hands with'me,
all right, and went out.
Her actions excited the curiosity of
the family. Sarah started for the bridge
over the milIdam at Akron, aboutsten
feet high, and, arriving at the place,
stepped in between the iron braces and
jumped into the water. which is several
feet deep. Simon Brown saw her, amt
ran TO the spot and rescued Sarah from
drowning. No reason is assigned for
the terrible deed. 1t is believed to be a
crazy act. The terrible affair has ere
ated the greatest excitement at Akron
and the mystery surrounding her object
i'll committing such an act makes the
case all the more complicated. She is
in CUSTODY but will not talk
