ANNEXATION NOT DESIRABLE

Such Says Admirable Brown, Recently in
Command of the Pacific squadron.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 30. Rear
Admiral George Brown recently re-
turned from command of the Pacific
squadron, and who is probably more
familiar with Hawaiian affairs than any
resident of the United States, expresses
no surprise at the turn affairs have
taken in Honolulu. In conversation
Sunday he said:
81 do not think annexation is possi-
bic. On the islands are employed some
40, 900 contract laborers, and these alone
would prove an insurmountable obsta-
cle because this state of affairs would
be directly contrary to the United
States law. l am inclined to the idea
that an arrangement will be made by
which the islands will come under our
protection, but not by annexation.
There is not the slightest cause for
alarm over the recent overthrow of the
government
THE business interests are perfectly
safe. AS to the United States navy at
Hawaii, the Boston is there and she is
all that is needed. My successor, Ad-
miral Slleritt is about sailing from San
Francisco and the Alliance is on her
way from Samoa to Honolulu. The ma
tive element down there is docile and
not inclined to cause trouble"

state to purchase coal fields and stone

The convicts should be graded and

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 80. "A freight
wreck which had many features of hor-
ror, occurred Saturday night on the
Newport News and Mississippi railroad
at Asphalt station about seventy
miles from this city. Three men were
crushed under the debris, while scald-
ing steam from the engine literally
boiled them to death. The train is
known as No. 10, and is the fast freight
running through from New York to New
Orleans. 1t left here about 6 o'clock
in charge OF Engineer Jim Price,
Fireman Fred Tierney, of Louisville,
and Walter Darcis, colored, of Paducah,
as one of the brakemen. At Asphalt
Station a passenger train had passed
over the switch all right, only few
minutes before the freight arrived.
The freight made no stop at this sta
tion and struck the switch at good
speed. The engine jumped the rail
and went plowing down between
the two tracks, dragging the cars
with it. 1t is supposed that the brake
man was riding in tine cab and that
both he and the fireman jumped.
But as they landed on the ground
the heavy tender came topping over
directly upon them, the water tank
crushing their legs and lower part OF
their bodies to jelly leaving the help
less creatures alive and conscious to be
cooked by the escaping steam of the en-.
gine as the latter fell upon its side.
Engineer Price must have stuck gamely
to his post, as he was caught between
the cnb and thp bOi1or aud his bOI1y
was badly crushed, but the flesh was
boiled from his bones by the steam
which poured full in his face.
Six cars and their contents were al
most totally destroyed and a number OF
others badly wrecked. A relief trair
was sent down early Sunday morning
and returned at noon, bringing the first
authentic details of the accident Su-
perintendent Ross broke his arm in two
places on his way to the wreck

if the established policy at Washington
permitted the idea to be entertained.

NEGRO HANGED

berry From Him.
MILAN, Tenn, Jan. 27.-The town of
Mendon, on the Illinois Central rail-
road, was the scene of mob violence.
Tom Butler, countryman, came to
town, and while intoxicated, fell asleep
on the depot platform. When he awoie
$50 dollars was missing from his pocket
A Negro tramp, Lewis Newbern, was
seen with the money and was taken out
by mob and given so lashes with
rawhide, but refused to surrender the
money, claiming he was innocent.
About midnight Newburn, half clad,
crawled to the depot and begged to be
admitted, He was hidden in the freight
room by the operator.
AT ) o'clock mob of desperate men,
composed entirely of the country
friends of Butler, filed the platform
and uttered curses and cries of: Bring
out the black brute!" Hang the
negro!" Burn him!' A demand was
made upon the operator, Paul Pearce,
to deliver up the Negro.
The Negro was jerked from his hid
ing place, but slipped from his captors'
hands, and, grasping a bar of iron,
fought desperately for his life. Almost
beaten into unconsciousness, he was
carried into the bottoms near the depot,
a rope adjusted, and the trembling but
defiant Negro was swung from limb.
He was let down, and again asked to
give up the money, but defiant to the
last, bitterly cursed the mob and told
them to do their worst Again he was
swung up and two bullets fired into his
quivering flesh. He was then cut down
and left for dead. The spark of life
still fingered.
The mutilated body lay for two hours,
when Newbern recovered conscious
ness and crawled to a cabin near the
scene, where he remained during the
night, and is either in hiding among
the Negroes or has perished. The rope
had cut cash in his throat, from
which the blood spurted in streams
