Capt. Howgate May Plead Guilty.

Capt. Henry W. Howgaie will be arraigned
tomorrow before Judge McComas under the
new indictments obtained against him.
Whether he will demur, plead guilty or not
guilty has not yet been determined by his
counsel. They have given good deal of at
tention to the new indictments, and it is prob
able that if they were going to file demurrers
the papers would have been prepared by this
time. At this hearing it is likelya day will be
set for the trial to begin. 1t is not likely to
be earlier than the 18th of January.

PAISTERS AND DECORATERs.
They Hold n Joint session In the Interests
of Their Trades.

Several years ago we were but little
band" said President j. NJ. King. of the
Richmond section of the Brotherhood Of
Painters and Decorators Of America, when
he opened the meeting of his order last
evening, at Mechanics Hall, on Main
street, "and not until now have we ar
rived at the position where we can hope
for better conditions"
The meeting was called for the purpose
of having the views of members of the
otner building trades councils, and after
President King concluded several visiting
members furnished some interesting data
to those present, as to how their trades
had been built up, and the standard of
their labor maintained through constant
earnest efforts. j. NJ Brown, j. G.
made brief speeches. which created some
enthusiasm and several non-union men
present enrolled their names.
About one-third of those employed in
the trades covered by this brotherhood
are now members, and they are all work
ing TO get every worker of their business
in the city TO join. Connections have
been formed with other building trades
that the members think will enable them
to maintain a high standard of work
The meeting closed at a late hour, amid
much good feeling for the future pros
poets of this branch OF the American
Federation of Labor.
The local officers are ]. NJ. King, presi-
dent; A. b. Webster, treasurer; ii. Il.
Thompson. financial secretary, and j. c.

RECRUITS ron HAWAIf.
Claimed that Capt. Rhodes IL Really an
Agent of President Dole.

A special to the Washington Star from
Haverhill. Mass. says
President Dole. OF the provisional gov
eminent of Hawaii. has at work In several
of the New England cities men who are
recruiting forces TO sail to the seat OF
the Hawaiian troubles at once Agents
have been appointed in the various cites.
A short time ago Smith Hills, local
hotel clerk, was appointed, LEGAL re-
cruiting officer by one Captain
Rhodes. Of Boston. Rhodes told Hills
10 go ahead and secure all possible
sIgners to certain contracts. which
he furnished for recruits to 20 to
Brazil. Many Hooked 10 the office
OF the agent and signed the con-
tracts. Hardly had the men signed the
contracts than the rpeort was circulated
that the men were not told their proper
destination. Instead of going TO Brazil
they were to go 10 the Hawaiian Islands.
The story was started oy local militia
man. who went TO the agent and said that
while he was willing to earn the promised
amount OF money by fighting for II, he did
not care TO go 10 Brazil. as he feared the
climate and the yellow fever more than
the fighting.
He was told not to fear. as the destination
would undoubtedly he far from Brazil.
and in the South Sea Islands.
The man then enlisted. and straightway
told the story Of the real destination
Hills. although ne first claimed that Rio
Costa is the destination. has admitted
that the expedition is for the reinforce
ment OF the army of President Dole.
The captains of the various militia com
panies are fearful that many of the vol
unteer State militia VIII desert and try to
win fame and fortune in the Hawaiian
war.
company Of forty-six has been organ
ed there and Agent Hills stated last
| night that he expected orders at any
| moment from Captain Rhodes TO bring his
| men TO New York. and thete embark
| them for other lands. As the laws now
| are the men cannot enlist until they are
| on the sea. The local company include
