After an illness of a couple of
months, the last week of which was
spent in the Queens Hospital, Mr.
D. W. Glover, an employee of the
Hawaiian Gazette Company for the
past eight or nine years, died on Fri
day morning at 5 o'clock of heart
troubles. The deceased, who had
many warm friends in the city, was
born in 1881 at South Adams, Mass,
consequently was SO years of age at
the time of his death. He came to
the islands about thirty years ago.
The funeral took place in the after
noon under the auspices of the
Honolulu Typographical Union, the
Rev. s. E. Bishop taking the service.

Rice Market.

The latest news respecting rice is
as follows: Owing to recent free re-
ceipts from the Islands, Hawaiian
rice has dropped considerably, and
at current rates, S512!@5.25 per
hundred, an active business has been
done. The strong position of other
markets leads to the belief bottom
has been touched, and a favor
able reaction will occur before long.
Mixed rice is moving off at S4.S5@
4.90 per two mats, and No. l at
S5.75@5.SO, with extra quoted at
S6.70@6.75.

REV. II. H. GowEN:
DEAR SIR-We the undersigned wish
to express our deep regret at your de-
parture from your ministry among our
people. Your work has been most thor
oughly appreciated by all who have
watched your career in this community,
though, perhaps, the outward expression
has not often come before you. A man
who leads blameless life, labors for the
good of others modestly, is earnest and
able in the ministration OF his holy office,
seldom knows how deeply his work per-
meates through the whole OF such a COM
munity as this. All nationalities and all
casts of thought must honor the work
you have done here.
1t is not only the actual ministrations
OF your holy office and your able eXposi-
ton of doctrine in the pulpit which we
wish to honor, but 1t is also the excellent
influence which your life and your work
has had upon hundreds OF your fellow
men and women here, whether belong
ing to your communion or not
The example you have shown in advo-
eating the true temperance cause las,
we know been of the highest value to
the cause OF humanity and has contrib
uted no little to the work uf the Epls-
copal Church in truly Catholic field.
We can only regret that an unfortu-
nate train of circumstances for which you
are in no way responsible has uniortu-
natelv led to severance between you
and those who have both need OF and
appreciate your ministrations, and we
all heartily desire TO see you return to
this Kingdom and once more take up
the work for the future which You have
conducted in SO Christian and efficient
spirit in the past.
We remain
Your very sincere irien'!s
and we'll wishers.
Then follows the signatures OF a large
number OF our prominent residents.

rne rrAcx ON MISS AUSTIN.
Mosely. the Negro Signally Falis In
His Design.

From Daily Mercury the 21st
Accompanied by Mr.. R. E. Pettus
Thursday MERCURY reporter drove OF
to the residence of Mr.. A. L. Blount, i
the neighborhood of Pauls Chapel, and
in company with several ladies proceede
to the woods where Miss Austin was as
saulted by the negro.
About IS yards from the road wher
the young lady was confronted by the ne
gro, in the midst of thick growth Of un
derbrush, we were piloted to the spo
where yawning pit was the prison toni
OF the brave girl for about three hours.
The pit is about 7x3 and feet deep
AT one end of it is huge oak stump, an(
around this stump the dirt was thrown
from the grave as Mosely dug it out. The
top OF the grave is neatly framed with
logs, the cross pieces being dovetailed to-
gether with skill not altogether rude.
The grave showed dunmistakeable signs Of
having been freshly dug.
er was found but the signs indicated that
1t had been scooped out for some time.
Beside it lay quantity of "sage" grass,
and pieces Of burlaps.
A number ofpOplar boards were placed
over the pit and on these Mosely dumped
old roots and stumps of trees and hastily
shovelled dirt and rubbish on the top, all
the time reminding her that he would
surely return and kill her. Her school
books and slate which were dropped in
the struggle he brought to the pit and
put them in with her, evidently for the
purpose of having nothing belonging to
her laying around for people who per-
chance might pass to see.
The story Of her release proves that an
All-Wise Providence watched over the
devoted girl. Her school slate delivered
her. As the fair young girl remarked to
us: Necessity is the mother Of inven-
ton, and found that my slate when
broken was good thing with which to
scoop away the dirt and rubbish above
me-"
After industriously working with the
slate fragments, she had cleared an open
ing large enough to thrust her hand and
arm through. The first thing her fingers
came in contact with was the handle of a
pick, and this she pulled into the grave
with her bringing with it a considerable
quantity of earth. Then with the cOur-
age born of despair and prayer ON her
lips to the Father of Deliverance, she
resolutely set to work to emerge from
her gloomy prison.
Between the cracks of the poplar boards
she inserted the sharp point of the pick,
and pulled with all her might The
board bent and finally broke. The re-
mainder of the work was easy. The ex-
citement Of the moment lent strength.
With the pick she cleared an opening
large enough to crawl through, and then
with joyful heart and trembling limbs she

We have known Mr.. Pentecost

but the gentleman that he is. As
an officer he is one Of the most vigil
liant and faithful and as citizen he
is numbered among our best. being
a prominent member Of both the Odd
Fellows and the Immaculates soci
eties.
We are glad to know that he has
thoroughly cleared himself of any

From the Daily Mercury.
Robert Mosely, the negro boy who as
saulted Miss Ellie Austin, while on her
way to school last Wednesday morning,
rendered extreme expiation for his crime
with his life at 4:35 p. m. yesterday. He
died stoically, surrounded by about 300
people.
The capturing party was composed OF
citizens of Meridianville and Huntsville,
who after sleepless night ran down the
fugitive at early sunrise yesterday on the
place of Mr.. Craft, about one mile north
of New Hope. Mosely was not long in
discovering that the mounted squad sur
rounding the house were after him, as
the guilty conscience needs no accuser,
and so he at once made
BREAK FOR LIBERTY
and dashed off. One Of the squad fired,

ing him down. He then drew his pistol

searching parties that the jig was up, and
for them to assemble at the scene of the
assault on the young lady, where Judge
Lynch would hold court and dispense
justice.

STRANGLED TO DEATH.

Close to the grave he had dug for Miss
| Austin, not more than twenty feet dis
tant stood white oak and over an out
stretched branch rope was thrown.
Mosely's arms were pinioned and he was
placed in position under the limb. A
moose had already been made in the rope
and this was slipped over his head and
placed around his neck. Prayer was Of
fered by Elder Charley Woodson of this
city, and then the doomed youth remark
ed that nobody was concerned in the
grave digging but himself. He had i'm
plicated Tom Burns, he said, but Tom
had nothing to do with it.
Then he called for his friend, Henry
Cloyd, to come forward and take out of
his pocket what personal effects he had,
which was As cents and a French harp.
He appointed Henry his administrator
and told him to give % cents to his moth
er, Is cents to his sister Annie, and the
new French harp and also nickel to his
little brother Willie.
When this was done he said that lie
was

READY TO DIE.

A handkerchief which he owned was
placed over his face, and to this arrange
ment he strongly objected saying that he
wanted to see and the last words he utter
ed were: ''Let me see one more time in
this world!" The horse he was mounted
on was then drawn from under him and
he hung suspended between earth and
heaven, an awful example Of the stern
majesty Of the unwritten law that pre-
walls in communities where female virtue
is held dearer than life
He died Of strangulation, and a doctor
present pronounced him dead in eleven
minutes after he was swung off. For the
first two minutes he hung motionless,
then slight twitching of the lower
limbs proclaimed the death struggle.
One of his last requests was to the
effect that his body should not be put in
the hole he had dug, but that it be put
in a coffin like folks, and buried"
In this connection it is as well to state
that after hiring himself to Mr.. Craft he
wrote and mailed at the postoffice at
Owens X Roads letter to his father.
