GUILTY PowELsoN.
A Notorious Mac and the Scrape He
Is In.g

A Notorious Mac and the Scrape He
Is In.
Frank Powelson, the notorious ''mac,"
who made murderous attack on his
wife last Saturday night, was tried be-
fore Justice Austin yesterday, on
charge of battery, and found guilty
after an all-day session.
The assault was most brutal and
unprovoked one, and had there been
witness to the affair besides his victim,
the charge would have been assault
with intent to murder. The lesser
charge was brought against him in order
to have the testimony of his wife intro
duced, who, had the case been a felony,
could not have given evidence against
her husband.
The officers, who were Just outside the
house at the time of the assault, testi-
fed that they heard Powelson ask his
wife for $5, which she refused him. A
heavy blow followed, and the officers
rushed in to find the woman covered
with blood, which streamed from a long
cash on the head. Powelson was ar
rested before he got out Of the house.
A heavy hickory cane, smeared with
blood, and to which had adhered some
of the woman's hair, was picked up
from the floor. This club was intro
duced in evidence by the prosecution.
DIR. Mccarthy testified that the wound
could have been made with such an in
strument as the club found by the
officers, and swore that certain stains on
it were human blood.
Cora Powelson, the victim of the as
sault, testified that she did not know
who struck her. She was asleep and
somewhat under the influence of liquor
when she felt heavy blow, and upon
gaining consciousness discovered the
wound on her head.
The defense attempted to prove that
the woman fell and cut her head, but
the scheme was . fiat failure. and the
court after hearing argument found the
defendant guilty as above stated. He
was ordered to appear tomorrow for
eentence, and was then taken back to
jail. The extreme penalty for his crime
is six months imprisonment OF fine of
$1,000.

were all unemployed servants who had
been betrayed, and went to the house
where found for refuge. The woman of

after them, skipped out and left them
in destitute circumstances. All were
on the point Of starvation. The infants,

Gould Relinquishes Control
of the Union Pacific.
Drexel, Morgan 4 Co. Acquire a
Controlling Interest.
The Vanderbilt Syndicate Thought
to Be the Real Purchasers.
xhs Denver and Rio Grande Western
and the Southern Pacific Also to
BE Absorbed BY the
vanderbilts.
Associated Press Dispatches.

s CHICAGO, August pa morning paper
says: at is generally understood that
Jay Gould has virtually relinquished
control of the Union Pacific railway,
and that the majority of the stocks and
bonds Of the company have been placed
in the hands of the banking firm of
Drexel, Morgan & Co.
The general opinion is that Drexel,
Morgan & Co. have acquired control of
the Union Pacific in the interest OF the
yanderbilts. They are the financial
agents of the Vanderbilts, and are also
in control of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul. This indicates that a
close alliance between the Union Pacific
and the Northwestern and st. Paul
roads is contemplated.
The Vanderbilts have long been anx-
ious to secure foothold west OF the
Missouri river, and gain an independent
outlet for their system of roads to the
Pacific coast. 1t is not likely that they
will be content with the Union Pacific,
but that they mean to acquire other i'm
p0rtant railway systems west OF the
Rocky mountains. A contest is said to
be now in progress between the Wander
bilts, the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, and the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe for the possession of the Den
yer and Rio Grande road, with the pros
poets that the Vanderbilts will carry off
the palm. If the Vanderbilts succeed
in getting the Rio Grande, it is believed
their next move will be to secure con-
troll of the Southern Pacific, and
there is no serious obstacle in the way
to their getting it. With this road in
their control, the Vanderbllts will be
able to dictate terms to all the other
lines so far as through traffic between
the Atlantic and Pacific js concerned.
Gould is probably interested in this
scheme, and and hes lss ssn understanding with
the Vanderbilts and Drexel, Morgan &
Co., whereby his railroad interests in
the west will receive ample protection"
New YoRK, August 29.-In regard to
the report that Jay Gould had retired
from the control of the Union Pacific,
and that a close combination between
the Union Pacific and the st. Paul and
the Northwestern would soon be con-
summated, nothing definite in eithe- the
way of confirmation or denial could be
learned here today, but it was
generally understood that Pierpont
Morgan and friends recently bought a
large block of Union Pacific stock, and
that most of it was for the Vanderbilt
account.
Charles H. Coates, Of the firm Of
Drexel, Morgan & Co., said he knew
nothing about the majority of the secu-
rites of the Union Pacific railway being
placed in the hands of his firm. He
further said he knew nothing about the
rumor that Jay Gould had relinquished
the control of the road, and that J. Pier
p0nt Morgan was to be the leading
spirit in its management.

AFTER THE FUNERAL.

Of the procession on Sunday it is
only fair to say that it was on the
whole well dressed and we'll carried
out. We shall not venture to criti-
else or compare the "regalia p" con-
tingents, Hawaiian or foreign, but
favorable mention is undoubtedly
due to the splendid appearance and
marching of the Honolulu police.
Both in physique and bearing they
might be anywhere noticed as
splendid body of men. Of the boys
schools we must give the palm to
the st. Louis; the Kamehamehas
come next, and they would have
shown to better advantage had
their formation been kept in a little
closer order. Amongst the volun-
teer semi-mllitary orders and socie-
ties, the Knights of Pythias made
the best show. True they had the
advantage of the most striking
uniform, but their marching in a
singuiarly difficult formation, was
emphatically good, and speaks well
for the training which most of their
members, we hear, received as
Honolulu Rifles. All brIgades of
firemen and the friendly and bene-
ficent societies looked and marched
well. The prettiest, and with re-
gard to the future of the Hawaiian
race the most interesting part of
the whole procession were the girls
OF the Kawaiahao and ST. Andrew
Schools, all In white with black
ribbons and sashes. To see the
scores of young girls, of whom we
all know that thoy are we'll taught
and trained in the knowledge of
their duties to God and man, is a
sight full of happy promises for the
future of Hawaii. We could not
help wishing, however, that some
of the very youngest of the pupils
and eldest of the teachers had not
so long and toilsome march.
The various native societies
showed q remarkable number of
fine well-to-do men and women,
able to organize themselves for the
prosecution of the several objects
they propose to themselves.
Of the greater and lesser officials,

their horses and carriages, there
is no occasion for special remark,
neither would we wish to obtrude
on the Royal family or household.
The kahllis, ninety-fiv in num-
Der, were particularly grand, some
made of pheasant and others of
peacocks' feathers, being noticeable
among the older-fashioned indig-
enous plumes.

spectators of the mournful pageant

that now and again some old.school
native woman raised the walling

ing here have had a rare treat in
witnessing one of the most snowy
funeral displays seen in any coun
try. Could such pageant as that
witnessed here on Sunday be gotter
up in any large American OF
European city, there can be nc
doubt that it would attract hun
dreds of thousands, eager to wit
ness a display unequaled in it,
gaudiness and novelty by anything
ever seen there.
May it be long before we agar
witness such pageant.
