CARRIED TO MACON.

The Remains of the Mangled Train
hand Carried Home Last Night.
The remains of J.. E. Mason, the brake
man who was killed by a freight train at
Meldrim yesterday morning shortly before
l o'clock, we're carried up last night to
Macon, which is Mason's home.
The accident occurred about midnight
night before last on the Central railroad at
Meldrim, the junction of the Central and
about eighteen miles from the city. The
freight train upon which Mason was at
work was moving along at the usual rate
when, from some cause or other, the COUP
hngs gave way and the train parted into
four sections. Mason was standing at the
end of one of these sections, which moved
forward more rapidly than did the one Just
IN front and the result was collision, the
force of which threw Mason from his posi-
ton down between the Ewo sections of
moving cars.
When found the body of the unfortunate
man was mangled beyond recognition the
wheels of the moving train having passed
entirely over his body, severing his legs and
crushing his head fiat. The lifeless remains
were taken up, put on a stretcher and
brought TO Savannah, where they were put
into coffin and arranged as we'll as possi-
BILE. The officials under whom ha worked
say that he had been in the service some
time, and that he was q faithful and valu-
able man.
The train was moving slowly at the time
and no damage beyond the breaking OF a
drawhead was done TO the cars by the COL
lision.

though young man. is leader Ia the work
OF his denomination in the state. He is one
of the trustees of Mercer University, of

terest in the welfare of his alma mater.
His sermon last night showed him to be an
eloquent and magnetic speaker.
He will preach again Tonight and every
night during the continuance Of the meet
ings. The meetings have been held in the
lecture room, but the indications are that
the increased attendance will render it
necessary hereafter to hold them in the
main audience room, which has a large
seating capacity.
The singing by a large, well-trained
choir. under the direction Of Mr.. G. B.
Whatley, is an attractive feature Of the
meetings.

One of the most peculiar cases Of scarlet
fever that has come under the attention of
physicians was that of negro named La
Shay on Perry street. who was attended by
DR.. Snelson (colored), and who is now about
we'll. As he began to recover. La Shay's
skin peeled off in great sheets, and Dr.
Snelson has a complete cast of his hand,

case the skin peels in very small scales. La
Shay's skin is much lighter now, but, it is
said, will turn dark again when the sun
strikes him. DR.. Drummer pronounced this
one OF the most peculiar cases that had ever
been brought to his attention.

A TALK ABOUT hawaii.
A Sevannahian Who Lived There Says
Something About the People.

A Sevannehien Who Lived There Says
Something About the People.
A gentleman In the city has lived in
Honolulu and knows great deal about the
habits and customs Of the people. He gave
a MORNING NEWS reporter some interest
ing Information yesterday about that
country, but for his own reasons he desires
that his name be not mentioned.
ST has been nine years since / lived
there" said he, land at that time the
islands were under the government of King
kalakauA, but have good recollection OF
the country and the people. Even at that
time the people were anxious for annexation,
though the reciprocity treaty then in ex-
istence gave them many advantages, and
since that time l believe the annexation
spirit has been constantly growing.
About the people or rather the
natives l know from experience that
many of them are very intelli-
gent. There are large numbers Of what are
known as half-breeds on the islands, and
many of them are educated in the United
States and in Europe. These half-breeds
are, as rule. an intelligent class. In fact,
the natives are, as general thing naturally
clever and honest people. 1t is the policy
OF this portion of the population to desire
separate kingdom, but otherwise they na5u-
rally lean toward the United States in their
preferences.
Il am personally acquainted with all the
members OF the Hawaiian commission, with
the exception Of Thurston, and also with
Mr.. Mott Smith, the minister from Homo
lulu to w ashington, and | know them to
be honorable men aud above acting with
selfish interests in a matter of so great mo-
ment. They are all either Americans or
Of American descent. but that does not al
ter the case, as three -fourths of the capt.
tai in the country is owned by Ameri-
cans.
81 believe annexation to the United States
to be the natural course OF the islands. Not
only are they neighbors of ours, and the
majority OF the property owned by Amer
lean citizens, but the backbone of the little
country is its sugar industry. The Ha-
waiian sugar is all made of cane. and the
introduction Of vast quantities IT beet sugar
some years ago, which is made in the coun-
tries OF Europe, put a check on the pros
perity of the islands, and almost ruined
business there under the circum-
stances then existing. The sugar trade
there has recovered from this blow
only to very small extent,
and will not do go entirely until the i'm
mense quantities of beet sugar are no longer
brought into competition with tbs Hawaiian
product
Annexation to the United States will,
OF course, change the circumstances sur
rounding the trade in Hawaii's principal
product. Though it has been long time
since | was there have watched the situa-
tion with interest. and am inclined to
think that annexation to this government
is the only natural or proper disposition to
be made of the islands, as it is the only
course which will put the industry Of that
country on a paying basis. and at the same
time it can do American products no possible
harm"

Hundreds of Negroes Loafing on the
Et1lo1nrhs NNitL,nt1t Ea,nn claimant

Hundreds of Negroes Loafing on the
Suburbs Without Employment.
Numerous complaints have been made
recently about the large number of negro
Migrants lying around on the suburbs with
no visible means of support except what
they can beg, borrow or steal. There is no
means of estimating just how many of these
Idle negroes there are to be found on the
outskirts, but it will probably run up near
a thousand, and they form trap for the
unwary city negro who dares to venture
among them, drawing them as they 90
into the gambling game called ''skin," pre-
vHlent among negroes, and before the dupe
gets through with them he finds out why
the game was given its name.
Not only this, but these negroes impose
upon the quiet population of their
color for their food and support.
They are doing absolutely nothing, and
In fact are making no attempt to get work.
Frequently disorders and distur bauces arise
among them, aud it is often unsafe and
even dangerous for children or ladies alone
to venture very far beyond the city limits,
especially late in the evening. Complaints
have been frequent in regard to this float
ing population, and every now and then
some fresh disturbance arises among them.
IL not looked into by the authorities it
may go on until worse results are reported
from the quarters where they carry on
their depredations. II they won't work it
would be good thing to take few of them
up as warning and put them on the
county gang for a year or go, and this
would probably have the desired effect.
Some of them claim to have been put out
Of employment by the importation of Ital-
ians and other foreign laborers to do grad
ing and other work in constructing rail-
roads. But those who have lost work
through this means are exceedingly few in
comparison. and they have acted as a
nucleus to draw others about them.
Chief Green was asked about this class of
Migrants yesterday.
I'VE are on the lookout for them all the
time" said he, "end whenever they come
within the city limits they are generally
caught up with and arrested if they arouse
the suspicious of being Migrants We
often have such cases, and they are gener-
ally given little term TO serve out
on the gang whenever they are
caught. We have no jurisdiction,
however, outside the city limits,
but they rarely escape as on the inside.
Whenever we can do so, however, we aid
the county officers in thu prosecution of this
class of criminals which seem to be plenti-
full"
AS general thing these Migrants keep
shy of the city officers. as they know il they
show their true colors they will always be
accommodated by lodgment in the city
police barrRcks
