The Suicides Dying Request 70 Those
About His Bedside.

George ". Hooper. the first mate OF the
British steamship skidby. died yesterday
morning at l.35 o'clock al the St Joseph's
Inhrmary. Hooper had been lingering
between life and death since Monday
morning. when he cut his throat with his
razor on board the steamship. II had been
known from the first that there was only
the barest possibility for his recovery.
The death was an exceedingly sad one.
Hooper. It IS believed, had become so
worked up over the fire which did great
damage 10 the skidby's cargo last month.
He seemed TO feel that the loss or por-
ton Of it was due to his own negligence.
and lack Of judgment on the night Of the
fire. This seemed 70 prey upon his mind
though he was frequently assured By the
captain and the agents Of the vessel that
they charged him with nothing Of the kind
Drs. Keller and Brandt were called 10
the wounded man as soon as his condition
was discovered. They dressed the gaping
wound in his throat, but announced that
in their judgment he could not live.
Hooper was crazed with pain at first, and
seemed to desire to complete the deadly
work which he had so well begun, but later
he repented Of what he had done and be-
came anxious TO live. The wind
pipe was severed, but he was able
to express his wishes by writing
upon small slate. The last
words written by him were "sing softly"
He realized that his end was near. Rev. c.

Strachan OF the Skidby and one or two

Hibernians to Have Another Evening
of Muldoon's Picnic.

The entertainment committee of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians will repro
duce Wednesday evening, Muldoons Pic
mic. which it so acceptably and success
fully presented a few weeks ago.
The company has been especially Sc
lected for the production Of Harrigan &
Harris famous comedy and it gave such
general satisfaction when first enacted
that yielding to the repeated solicitations
of those who witnessed it and others who
were unable to be present a repetition was
deemed necessary to please the public
The Buffers, Ethel and Tom, are promi-
nent features in tho play and give a zest
to the parts for which they are particular
~ well-ftted. The extravagant charac-
ter of the ludicrous incidents happening
at the picnic are prominently brought out
by the leading people in the play and
the special features fit in so admirably
that Muldoon's Picnic is a source of the
most contagious mirth. The A. o. H. has
some fine dramatic as well as vocal talent
and those who attend the entertainments
given by the committee have always been
so pleased that they have frequently re-
quested a repetition. The club promises
that the entertainment on next Wednes-
day night will be of such a character as
wiil repay those who desire an evening
of laughter and mirth. After the comedy
is over the floor will be cleared for dane
ing and Rosenfeld's orchestra will furnish
the music.

THE ESCAPE GETS IL MONTHS.
Another Year Added to Jockey"
Holmes Sentence.

Alfred alias Jockey" Holmes, had
another twelve months added yesterday
by Judge MacDonell to the time he has
still to serve on the Chatham county
chain gang. Holmes is the famous con-
Wet who has made escaping an art, and
who knows how to practice it success
fully. He was sent TO the gang sometime
ago for larceny, and on this one sentence
he has escaped three times Each time
twelve months was added to his sentence
until he now has three years to spend on
the gang besides several months on his
original sentence. Jockey will proba-
bly, be put under a stronger guard than
he has had heretofore, and will be given
a doubly heavy chain to carry about with
him. IT he sees his chance however, he
will get away again.
The case against the Rev. Dennis Mac
Lemon, colored, pastor of the Jerusalem
Baptist church, did not come up on ac-
count of the time taken up by other cases.
Order was preserved at the services last
Sunday, however, and will in all proba-
bility be kept to-day. The case will be
heard next Saturday.
Samuel Jackson was found guilty Of
the larceny from an Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad car of
case Of cigars valued at $50
and a box of tobacco valued at $40
He was fireman on the road and made
it handy to take goods out of cars and
ship them back to some of his accomplices.
In this case his accomplice was WILL alias
George Jordan, who is now serving
sentence on the gang for carrying con-
cealed weapons. Jackson was sent to the
chain gang for twelve months.
The trial Of e. S. Waters of McRae,
on charge Of cheating and swindling,
preferred by G. NJ. Rosengrant agent for
the American Stave and Cooperage Com
pany here, occupied the court the greater
part of the days session. A great deal
of evidence was introduced on both sides,
it being charged that Waters had obtained
an advance of SIS on a carload of slaves
which he had failed to deliver Judge
MacDonell decided that the matter was
one which would be more properly set
tied on the civil side of the court, and he
dismissed the defendant.
Anna Jones was given one day in Jail
on the charge Of the larceny of one shirt
from John Middleton, and Henry Blair,
charged with larceny from the house, was
found not guilty.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
A Question as 20 Whether Under Ger
tain Circumstance Man Can Secure
Two Homssteads.

A Question as 20 Whether Under Ger
tain Circumstances q Man Can Secure
Two Homsstsads.
a very interesting case involving the
homestead laws viii come Up for trial
before Judge Hampton l. Ferrill in the
court Of ordinary tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock. It viii be upon the application
Of John WOhanka for homestead eXemp-
tion' and the objections entered against
the application by. some Of his creditors.
Mr.. Wohanl1a filed an application for
homestead in the court Of ordinary last
August, but for some reason or other the
matter has been continued from term
to term, until tomorrow has finally been
agreed on as the time for the hearing
This homestead he desires to take from
his stock OF guns and locks and other
merchandise in his store at 17s Congress
street.
IN MS petition for exemption he stated
that the inventoried value Of the stock was
$l,4f77e. Some time later, however. when
Mr.. r. r. Richards, representing Alessrs.
schoverling, DAILY and Gales Of New York,
the principal creditor. filed a caveat, a
board Of appraisers was appointed by
Judge Ferrill to make an inventory Of
the stock. They were Messrs. S. +. Du-
pont, J. Elliott NARROW and Charles B.
Westeott, and in their return they ap-
praised the stock at Sfi610
The popularity Of the case, however. lies
IN the grounds on which the granting
OF the homestead is being opposed by Mr..
HIchards. In the caveat he states that
AIR. Wohanka applied for and obtained a
homestead under section 200iO OF the code
OF FEBRUARY, 1883 This Mr.. Wohanka
does not deny, but il was a pony home
stead, and included only household and
Kitchen furniture. Mr. Richards however.
holds that he has no right to apply for a
second homestead after having been
granted one in 1883, or in other words that
he has no right to take advantage of the
homestead laws more than once
Mr.. Wohanka took a homestead n 1883
Tor the purpose of protecting his wife and
family. Since that time his first wife has
died, his children by her have become of
age, he has remarked and has children a
second time. He now asks for a home
stead to the extent allowed by the law
which is $1,000 for the benefit Of his second
VIE and her children, and his attorneys
Messrs. McAlpin & LaRoche and Mr.. G.. b.
Whatley, claim that he has this right.
Mr. Richards, for the caveators, how
ever claims that the children for whose
benefit the first homestead was taken,
have become of age and are still living and
for these reasons Mr.. Wohanka has no
right TO ask for a homestead a second
time.
The case will prove very interesting
one, as 1t resolves itself into a question Of
whether man, under the circumstances
in the case as recited has the right to ap-
ply for second homes tead. The law in re-
gard to this point is not explicit, and no
doubt some very pretty questions will be
sprung when the case is heard.

LOCKED UP FOR SAFE Keeping.
A Couple of Stowaways Having a Hard
Time of 1t Generally.

John Lucia and William Francisco are
in Jail. where they were sent yesterday
by Justice Reynolds to be held subject to
the orders Of Capt. Taylor of the British
steamship Marion, which arrived in port
yesterday.
The two men are stowaways, who hid
aboard the vessel before she left Messina
in the Mediterranean on Oct "A. They
were not discovered until the vessel had
been several days out, when hunger drove
them from their hiding place. They were
kindly treated by the captain and put to
work.
The laws Of the United States against
pauper immigration are very strict and
when the Marion arrived in New York
last month the men were turned over to
the immigration officers, who sent them
to Ellis Island. Capt. Taylor was placed
under bond to return the men to the
place from which they came. and when
he sailed for Savannah he brought the
two stowaways with him. The men were
placed in jail for fear that they would
desert the vessel and join their country
men in this part Of the country.

ST. JOHNS NEW CHOIR
1t Will Be Heard for the First Time in
To-daY's Services.

1O-Oa5 . ocANANSbs
The music at st. Johns has always been
a most important feature Of the service in
that church, and one much appreciated
by its congregation. Many leading singers
have been connected with it's choir. Mem
cries Of delightful music are retained by
all who have attended service there.
Several changes have recently been
made in the choir and character of the
music which give promise of improved mu-
sic in the future.
A quartette has been engaged consisting
of Mrs Haynes, whose rich voice has been
Schreiner, contralto, Mr.. Rebarer, tenor,
and MIR. Julian Walker basso. A fun
chorus of sixteen selected voices will aid
the quartette in producing the choral eff
fects so necessary in the rendition of the
best and most fitting church music. Mr.
Spencer NJ. White, director of the Festival
Choral Society, will be the organist and
choir master. A fun choral service viii be
given at the night services which are
shortly to be resumed The organ will at
once be placed in thorough order so that
it can give fitting support to the voices
The new choir will sing to-day for the
first time. but no elaborate music will be
attempted, as the chorus has been very
hastily organized, and is not yet com
plete Some little time will be required
to form and properly drill this choir, but
it is expected that fine festival music
will be presented upon Christmas day.
The new choir viii succeed that which
Mr.. Rebarer has directed for some time
with great success, and who yields the
dictatorship to Mr.. White to become
member of the quartette. Mr.. Rebarer
is regarded as one of the best directors
in the city, and the congregation of ST.
Johns is fortunate in retaining him in
the choir in which his voice will be heard
to full ADVANTAGE
