The Late r.. J. Creighton.

No successor has yet been APP
pointed to succeed the late Robert
j. Creighton, secretary to the firm
of John D. Spreckels and Bros. 1t
is extremely doubtful if the place
will be filled, for Mr.. Creighton's
peculiar qualifications make the
choice of a successor extremely
difficult.
He had been a great traveller,
was a trained journalist, and was
especially well informed on all
matters relating to the political
state of affairs of Australia, New
Zealand and the Hawaiian Islands.
He was as nearly indispensable as
a man can be, and the Spreckels'
feel his loss a severe ones. F..

CRICKET.
An Interesting Game-Accident
to Mr.. Hutchin5s.

to Mr.. Hufchin5s.
The cricket match game between
the married men and single men
took place at the old baseball
grounds, Makiki, Tuesday. There
was a good turnout of the mem
bers of both teams, but the number
of visitors present during the pro-
gress of the game was small. The
game lasted from noon till late in
the afternoon and it was very
interesting ones so remarked those
who are acquainted with the game.
The single men won the game by a
score of 80 to 81. The benedicts
say they were fairly beaten but
they do not feel discouraged over
the result of the game.
Mr.. Hutchings, employed at H.
Mays store, Fort street, was in
jured. While in the act of strik-
ing the ball, Hutchings twisted
his right leg and fell down. DR..
Walters, one of the players, came
and did what he could to set the
injured leg. The fibular was found
to be broken near the ankle. Hut
chings was removed at once to his
home near by where he is resting
comfortably.

The Sports.

There were present between fifteen
hundred and two thousand people at
the games and sports held at the base
ball grounds Tuesday, commencing
at 2 o'clock.
The grand stand was packed with
people and it was very difficult to
move around. Many ladies who came
late were obliged to remain standing
during the progress of the games. The
sports were laughable and interesting.

trouble keeping the small boys away
from the center of the grounds.

f. B. McStocker Theo. f. Lansing,
J. Torbert and Thos. Wright COM

were as above.
The 75-yards foot race for girls did
not take place, as none of the girls

test.
The next event was a potato race,
which was very amusing. The game

on the back of the hand of each boy.

case when he commuted to life in the
State penitentiary the death sente nee of
Napoleon IIavelle, the white Charleston

fore the courts and the Governor for
three years. The murder was most
brutal one. After his first conviction
the attorneys OF the man appealed to
the State Saprene Court. The appeal
was dismlssed and then several other
appeals also on various technicalities
followed meeting with a similar fate.
Then 1T became noised abroad that La
velle was insane and appeal was made
to the Governor on that ground.
Governor TillInan did everything he
could TO iind out whether the man was
insane or not. A commission which he
recently appointed to examine him was
divided as to whether he was guilty or
not, and equal numbers of the board
were on each side. Itleft the Governor
n a predicament. Yesterday he grant
ed the communication. He gives his rea.
sons Tor 80 doing as follows:
my own inclinatiOns aud feelings
were to hang this man; because l do not
sympathize with wife murderers and
have no sympathy for any man who kills
his wife for any cause. But 1 was con-
fronted with The fact that all five Of the
members OF the commission agree as to
his brain being diseased now and a. the

Reads Like q Yarn.

BOoNvILLE, Mo-, May 17,-Edie
IIickam, an aged negress, is the plaintiff
in perhaps the most remarkable case
ever tried on the Courts Of this county.
She is an old ex-slave, and brought suit
against her master, Joseph Uickam. of
this county, for five dollars month
wages as family domestic for twenty
four years, during which time she
claims to have been kept in ignorance
Of her emancipation. The suit was
instituted here in 1889, for 81 400, and
resulted in judgement in her favor
for 500. The defendant appealed to the
Kansas City Court of Appeals, which
remauded the case to the Circuit
Court of this county, which now
redders decision for the defendant
A motion for new trial hsa been
filed, and public sentiment is in favor
Of the old negress, who has toiled for
her master for a quarter of century
without remuneration.
