A press dispatch from MaSsillon. Ohio.
announces that ID. j. Smith, a republican
farmer of Columbia county and an unsuc-
eessfui candidate for the congressional
nomination, has challenged Jacob Selcher
Coxey to joint debate in five places in the
congressional district which Coxey hopes
TO represent in the next Congress MIR
Smith may be possessed of much erudition
and have the gift of oratory to a remark
able extent, but he evidently lacks judg-
nent Don Quixote's fitting at a windmill
was no more foolish than 1t would be for
this valiant bearer of an honored name to
endeavor to break a lance upon the mailed
cheek of the ''commonwear' leader Men
have talked against men and against time,
and even against women, but until now no
one has dared suggest discussion as to the
nations finances with the greatest crank Of
the century. Neither history nor logic nor
sloquence of the most fervid sort can up
set the sophistries of the Coxey doctrine

mental experiences OF a thousand years
cannot possibly avail against the torrent
of words winch upon the slightest provoca-
ton, or no provocation at ALL issue from

The city official who constructs the sched-

to the naked eye in this portion of North
America during the early portion of Mon

OPINION OF THE COURT BY FREAR, j.
The defendant was convicted in
the District Court of Honolulu of
escape from Imprisonment (under
Sec. 2, Oh. xxx, of the Penal
Code), and appealed to this Court on
poins of law.
He contends that there was no
evidence to show that he escaped
" against the will of the officer having
him In custody" as provided in this
section of the statute. We think that
there was such evidence. The officer,
q prison luna, who had charge of the
defendant, prisoner at work on the
road, testified that he allowed the
prisoner to go into the bush for
particular purpose, and that he did
not return, but escaped. The per-
mission to go for that particular pur-
pose implied an intention on the part
of tho officer that the prisoner should
return. Further, the word escape"
was evidently used by the officer in
its usual popular sense, which i'm
plies not merely that the prisoner
recovered his freedom, but that he
did so against the will of the officer
in charge.
It was also argued that the lower
court was without jurisdiction over
the defendant by reason of an alleged
irregularity in his arrest Tor recap
ture), in that he was taken when
seaman on board an American mer-
chant ship in the port of Hilo, the
consent of the United States Consul
lar Agent at that port not having
been first obtained, the argument
being that such consent was essen
tial to the validity of an arrest under
such circumstances, but this point
has since been abandoned.
The Judgment of the District Court
is affirmed with costs.
w. 0. Smith, Attorney General, for
the prosecution; V. V. Ashford for
the defendant.

The Great Gulf Storm.

A late letter received from Biloxi,
Miss, gives a more hopeful view of the
situation. Hundreds of men are busy
in repairing damages caused by the
storm, and in a few weeks everything will
be restored. The heavy rains which fol-
lowed the great winds did great service
in melting and washing away the salt
debris that was left on shore. The
writer says, Even the flower beds in
the Montross House yards were washed
clean and show no signs of their salt
bath" The wharves are being rebuilt,
and the vessels high and dry on the road
are being wrecked and removed. Right
in front of the Montross House the
wreckage of several vessels and lumber
yards accumulated and greatly protected
the property. The yard fence was the
only one left standing along the entire
beach. The restitution III Biloxi is re-
ported as being rapidly lessened. Among
the prominent citizens of Biloxi who lost
their lives in the great storm was Cap
tain w. II. Patton OF Back Bay. He
was on the schooner La Marsh, and he
and all his crew We're lost. His remains
were found dashed to his schooner some
days after the storm had subsidized.

A FIGHTER WITHOUT LEGS.
CoIored Nan With No Legs and One Ar
daI

a CoIored Nan With No Legs and One Arm
Makes Things Lively.
City Jailer lola Canova says that ''if
they ever send him out again to arrest a
one armed, no legged man he amt going
to co." Tola's resolution is on account OF
an experience he had with an individual
of that description day or two ago.
lola was kicked in his dinner by no
legged man and felt so bad about it
that he was almost tempted to send in
his resignation.
It seems that Peter Moody, colored
man, who lost both legs and one arm in
a railroad accident, filed up on pure un-
adulterated cussedness at a cost of 5
cents drink, and proceeded to paint
East Jacksonville in bright vernilion.
The first thing he did was to fire his pis-
toll at a boy who drives an ice wagon for
Martin Ferguson. The boy outran the
bullet, and his cries brought Officer
Moore to the scene, but Moody stood on
the stumps of his legs in the middle of
the road and defied the officer to come
near him, at the same time waving in
the air, in reckless manner, a formid-
able looking revolver.
Officer Moore telephoned for assis-
lance, and Sergeant Thames and lola
Canova went to the scene. They bad
the. hardest kind of struggle with the
disorderly individual, who inflicted upon
each of them some very painful blows
with the stumps of his legs ard arm.
Finally, however, they got him in a cart,
and by choking him succeeded in keep
ing him quiet. The blow of the stump
that caught lola in the stomach lifted
him in The air somewhere in the neigh
borhood of three feet.
Moody is now in the city Jail. He will
be turned over to the county authorities
on charge of assault with intent to
kill.-Florida Times-U Mon.

The New Ean1akua Well.

A correspondent writes under
date of January 10th regarding the
new we'll, which promises to supply
the plantation with all the water
needed by it:
"Struck water at the Hamakua
mill, Hawaii. Mr.. McCandless, the
well borer, was fortunate enough to
strike fresh water at or near the
sea level on December 18th. The
water is quite fresh, and is good
for any purpose. 1t seems also to
be quite abundant, as the pump
now in use cannot diminish it in
the least, Notwithstanding it is
pumping night and day at the rate
of about 500 gallons per hour. This
will prove quite an acquisition, as
water is still very scarce, and the
work of the mill was done with
difficulty"

A LEGAL COMPLICATION.
Michigan Law Gives the Mineral Range
Train Robbers an Unusual Chance.

Michigan Law Gives the Mineral Range
Train Robbers an Unusual Chance.
In the case of the people against Doml-
nick and Edward Hogan, William But
Ter and others, accused of the Mineral
Range express robbery near Houghton,
Sept. 10, the prosecution is in a quandary.
The case is soon to be called for trial.
Meanwhile the prosecution has to solve
very delicate legal problem or forego the
hope of convicting all of the five men at
present under arrest.
The specific charge against the five
prisoners is robbery. The Michigan
statute defines robbery as the theft of
property by means of violence to the
custodian or owner thereof, or intent to
90 great bodily injury or to kill in case
Of resistance. Fear is made an essential
element of robbery, thus implying that
the person or persons in charge OF the
property must be put in fear of death or
great bodily injury. The maximum pen
atty in Michigan is imprisonment at hard
labor for life. Dominick Hogan was the
agent of the express company, and the
$40, 900 stolen was in his charge. If he
relinquished possession of the money
through fear of violence, he was robbed
aDd was not himself robber.
On the other hand, if he was party
to the theft and feared no injury, then
no robbery was committed. and none OF
the prisoners can be convicted of a more
serious offensc than larceny, the maxi
mum penalty forwhich is five years i'm
prisonment. Therefore, to secure con-
viction of any of the accused on the
charge. the prosecution must prove the
innocence of Dominick Hogan, whom 1t
has caused to be held two months in Jail,
and whose good name has been ruined.
The only alternative appears to be the
withdrawal of the charge of robbery and
substituting the charge of larceny, the
punishment for which must be very
light as compared with the just deserts
of such audacious criminals. The de-
fonse will make this legal technicality
the main point in their line of action
during the trial. Minneapolis Journal.

A SPLENDID PLANT.
The Dynamos of the Hawaiian
Electric Company.

The new building Of the Hawai-
ian Electric Company was visited
by a large number of people last
evening, the occasion being the OPP
ening of the new plant. The build
ing was brilliantly illuminated,
and great interest was shown in the
machinery.
The one hundred and fifty horse
power Ball engine was running the
load, and was connected with the
two forty-fve Kilowatt Edison
dynamos, operating the three wire
system, which lights the more CEN
trail portions of the city. The 200
horsepower engine was running
without load, and was absolutely
noiseless and without jar. The
high velocity of both the smaller
engine and the dynamo caused
some noise and jar, but much less
than would be expected. The en-
CINE formerly owned by Kalakaua
was attached to three small dy-
namos, which are to operate power
service. The alternating current
dynamos not yet in operation.
The plant is a splendid one and
a credit to the community. One
splendid feature of it, is that it is
almost impossible for break down
to happen, such as recently oc-
or1rral
