LOUISIANA LOTTERY.
The Company Seeking to Obtain q
Charter In Hawaii.

The Company Seeking to Obtain q
Charter In Hawaii.
SAN Francisco, CAL, Aug. 24-The
published statement has been made here by
passenger on the steamship Australia,
which arrived from Honolulu to-day, that
for some time the Louisiana lottery has had
agents in Honolulu, their object being TO
obtain charter from the Hawaiian
legislature. Their operations have been
conducted with the utmost SCI
crecy and few people outside of
those interested know anything about the
matter. In return for charter the com-
pany will agree to pay 81, 000, 900 toward a
cable TO run weekly line of steamers to
San Francisco; to pay oue-half OF the ex-
penses OF the government; pay 500, QUO per
year to different local enterprises aud TO
erect buildings for the officers, directors,
inspectors, etc. Money for the preliminary
payments Is already in Honolulu and if the
legislature accepts the proposition of the
company $500, 600 will be ahoat In Honolulu
in thirty days. Owing to the present de-
pressed state Of the island this would prove
a veritable bonanza to Hawaii and it is
quite probable that the company will re-
ceive a charter. Still there 10 a strong MS
sionary spirit in Hawaii, and a fierce as
sault will be made on the bill when it Is
brought before the legislature.

FELLED BY a HIGHwAYMAN.

a Negro Assaulted by q Negro Who
Wanted to Rob Him.
ATHENS, Ga, Aug. 24.-There was a
highway robbery last night near Athens
Wesley Bush lcoloredl was the victim.
Bush lives In jackson county and had
brought two bales of cotton to town to store
for parties at Hoshton. He stored the cotton
with the Henderson warehouse and started
for home late last night. When near the
Rock College, just out Of the incorporated
limits OF the city, he was approached BY a
negro, who asked to ride as they were
both going the same way. Later in the
night J. B. Weir, in passing the same road
that Bush was travelling when last seen
found him lying in the road in an
unconscious condition. 1t was found that
Bush had been struck several times with a
pair Of brass knucks and that the wounds
produced were serious. He remained I'M
conscious until late this afternoon, and is
still unable to talk much. The most proba-
BILE theory is that the negro who got In the
wagon with Bush saw him coming in with
the cotton and acting upon the superstition
that he had sold IL and had the money on
bis person attacked him for the purpose of
securing the money. The injured negro
will be carried 10 his home as soon as he is
able to be removed
