BROOKLYN, Dec. 15.-Judge Barnard's
decision in the case of John Y. McKane
and others, charged with contempt Of
court on election day in Gravesend, is
made public. MoKane and his associates,
Judge Cropsy, N. l.. johnson and Harlan
Cranwell, are found guilty Of contempt

ment and fine of $3.50, the full penalty OF
She law.
The proceedings grew out Of defiance of
the injunctions secured by w. J. Gay
nor the day before the election from Judge
Barnard to prevent interference with Re-
publican watchers at the polls in Graves
end. When Colonel A. s. Bacon, Rev. n.
J. Kent and others went to Gravesend,
armed with the injunctions, on election
morning, no attention was paid to the
papers. McKane said: "Injunotions don't
go here, and the men were set upon, as
saulted and arrested.
Justice Barnard makes sweeping do
nunciation of the election day proceed

tion was a fraud all the way through. lie
also says that the registry is fraudulent,

false charges.

THEHAW AHAN MESSAGE
Will Probably Not be Sent to Con-
gress Until Next Week.
A FORECAST OF ITS ARGUMENT.

The President VIII Not Diverge from His
Present Policy, but VIII Hardly Urge
That Force be Resorted to In Seating
the Queen.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The presidents
special message on the Hawaiian question
will be from 500 to 5000 words in length. !
It probably will not go to congress befores7
Monday. Meantime a steamer sails from
Ban Francisco to Honolulu today Alis
that the state and navy department has
collected on the Hawaiian question is now
In the presidents hands.
From a gentleman who stands close to
the administration it is learned that in
his message the president will endeavor to
show that the queen WAS oyerthrown by
acts sanctioned by Minister Stevens, and
that as they received the approval of the
United States and are considered by the
present administration unjustified and
unfriendly, they must be undone. The
president will probably say that Minister
Willis was instructed TO first decline for
mally the proposition for annexation, and
to then announce that the United States
demand that the queen be restored to
power, peacefully, but that II she was un-
willing to be seated without the assur-
ance of this government that she would
be protected from harm and retained in
power by United States force, then to
take no steps but await instructions from
the United States.
The president will say that the minister
has found the provisional government
much stronger than has been stated, or
that the administration has been in
formed, and that its power was increas-
ing each day. There was strong senti-
ment among the better class of people
against the queens return TO power, and
there were the strongest evidences that
the existing government would use force
to defeat any move that would lead to
this end. All of the conditions were such
as to prevent the carrying out of his in
structons. and now, as the president had
exhausted the prerogatives of his office to
bring about a settlement with Hawaii
without calling upon the naval force to
assist it, there was no other resort for the
president but to leave the question of fur
ther action to congress
| 1t is believed that the president will not
| diverge from his present policy. 1t is GER
tain, however, that he will hardly urge
that force be resortcd to in seating the

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-Yesterday was
the first day for some time that Secretary
Carlisle has spent whole day at the

PITTsRuRG, Dec. l5.-While trying to
save the life of Julius Eberhart, fellow
workman, at the Allegheny county elec-
tric light plant, David Waugaman, the
chief engineer, received an electric shock
of 300 volts, and was almost instantly
killed. Eberhart was engaged at the
switch board and accidentally touched
live wire of 1000 volts, and in a moment
he was wriihing in terrible agony.
Waugaman sprang to his rescue and tried
to extricate him, when sdddenly he threw
up his hands and fell 10 the floor. The
current was cut off and the two men were
picked up, but Waugaman was dead.
Eberhart was seriously injured, but will
recover.

WALTER JErsoN REHABLITATED.

WALTER JEPSON REHABILTATED.
When Walter Jepson arrived at the
hotel. we took him to our rooms and out
lined to him tine work we expected him
to undertake. He was delighted with
the proposal. That those who were to
appear as central figures in his discourse
had been persons of rank and title gave
him great satisfaction, as it seemed to
him that the circumstance would at
once lift him out of the slough Of
despond" and elevate him to decent
position among his kind. He looked
upon the mobile remains, as he respect
fully called the bones and ashes Of our
ancestors, as a great windfall-a perfect
godS,nd to him. He said it seemed to
be ''what he had all his life been waiting
for"
The opportunity at last so unexpect-
cdly presented to pull himself up to his
former level of respectability appeared
to give him far more pleasure than did
my fathers assurance that he would re-
ceive $500 in case of his work being per-
formed in satisfactory manner.
After the matter of the funeral Grafton
had been sufficiently discussed | took
Jepson in charge and sailed forth with
him. My father was left behind to study
the genealogical record of the johnson
family, an occupation i'll which he was
capable of becoming so deeply absorbed
as to become utterly obivious of all
other earthly things. He handled the
huge parchment with more reverential
care than he would have bestowed upon
