IT'S ONLY AN ASSAULT CASE
VIII Probably he Aired this Morning.
Captain KIemme's Gives His Reasons
for AssauItiDg A. r. W. Miller

A flash of judiciary lightning will
probably clear up the Mounted
Police-Schuetzen-C trouble today.
There is going to be trial in police
court this morning in which a. 4. w.
Miller is the complaining witness and
Captain KIemme the defendant, the
latter charged with assault and bat
terry.
This will he sequel to a lively en-
counter on the steps of the police
station Saturday morning from which
Miller came out the worst, having
been knocked down.
Captain Klemme admits the assault,
but says it was done in self defense
and this is his story:
siMiller is the man who has been
writing the articles concerning me
and my command in the afternoon
papers. He has been in this country
only two months and his principal
business during the past four weeks
has been to criticise my actions.
When he first came here / took care
of him and this Is the result of it all.
"Friday night q friend of Miller's
came to me and said that Miller had
purchased q six-shooter and proposed
doing me up Saturday morning /
had occasion to attend police court.
When / came down stairs with Lieu
tenant Cordes I saw Miller standing
near the door of the marshal's office.
AS approached he turned abruptly,
facing me and made gesture as If to
take weapon from his pocket. Re-
memherinO the warning i 0raDDled
with Miller and he fell down the
steps. That il is ALL"
Miller claims that he was not
armed; that he had no intention of
assaulting Captain Klemme, and that
he was knocked down by the latter,
who was assisted in his pugilistic en-
deavors by Lieutenant Cordes.
Thursday night, so Miller claims,
while hidden in his wardrobe, his
apartment was invaded by Captain
Klemme and Lieutenant Cordes. Mill
Ter says that a search was made by the
officers and even his papers lying on
the table were examined. Later the
house il said to have been searched by
Lieutenant Cordes and Patrolman
Wichart.
There are a number of other charges
and counter charges, and the trial tbit
morning will probably TEEN with !

The captain says he will have in |

on sight, and this information, he ]
claims, was sufficient provocation for !
the assault on the police station steps. |

A Divorce for Mrs. Abbott.

The sequel to story which has a
Honolulu end is thus told In a Santa
Rosa dispatch to San Francisco
newspaper: Mrs. Sarah E. Abbott
of Petaluma was granted a divorce
today from Henry Abbott on the
ground of desertion. Before her
marriage to Abbott, which occurred
in 1891, she was the widow of George
Williams of Honolulu, who left her
$4,000. 1t was charged that Abbott,
who is a bypnotist, was in the habit
of putting his wife's mind under his
control and obtaining money from
her. He deserted her about year
after their marriage after getting
about $4,000 from her."

Electric Lights for q Cts a Month";

Honolulu uses the electric current for
lighting purposes more generally than do
most American cities OF its population.
The reasons are found partially in the cli-
mate conditions which urge the
adoption OF light unaccompanied by
heat or an offensive odor. Furthermore,
no gas company has found our city an
inviting field for investment chiefly be-
cause Of its scattered condition and the
consequent large cost of reaching
consumers; and electricity has thus met
no competitor except the original oil
lamp and the tallow candle. A third
cause we believe to be largely the fact
that when electric lighting was first in
troduced by the Government, it was
offered to consumers on basis Of rates,
which in many cases of commercial
lighting and especially for night light
ing, considerably discounted the cost OF
oil for the same amount OF illumination.
The demand thus created soon reached
the limit OF that Government supply.
Today the Hawaiian Electric Company
possesses working capacity equal to
more than three times the present COM
bined incandescent output OF the Gov
eminent service together with our own.
We offer lighting at the Government
fiat rates as follows:
Stores and Offices per Is C. p. light per
month $1.00
Residences per Is c. p. light per
month-to lights 90cts.
Residences per Is C. p. light per
month-excess OF lights 6Octs.
We do much better than this for our
consumers. We place lights in every
nook and corner of your premises if you
wish, measure the light you use, and
charge for actual consumption only.
You use light when and where you
need ii and you don't forget to shut it off
when that need is satisfied, nor do YOU
feel bound to keep the lights going from
dusk till dawn in order to secure the
value of stipulated bill. We in turn
know exactly what we have delivered to
you and can figure with certainty upon a
definite and rock bottom basis.
The cost OF a 16 G. p. light per hour is
Ia to IL cents, varying with the
efficiency OF the lamp.
The probable cost to you per month is
clearly indicated by the following
analysis of total charges made for resi-
dence lighting during June. Average |
number of lights per consumer, June 80, |
%; average amount paid for months |
lighting per consumer 81 "a average cost |
per light for the month 21cts. In view !
of these prices and the positive advan-
ages of safety, convenience, simplicity |
and comfort, you can i'll afford to use |
candles or oil. We furnish fittings and |
wiring of only the best grades and for |
obvious advantages at the lowest reason

SHOCKING DEED.
STlsANGLES AN OLD LADY TO
DEATH
Rudolph PeSchmann ConfeSSes That
He Murdered Mrs. Schrums for Her
Money and They Set Fire to His
Hotel to Conceal His Crime-The
Confession.

Milwaukee, Jan. 1.-the mystery of
the death Of Mrs. Annie Schrums was
unrayeled today by the confession of
Rudolph j. PeSchmann. landlord of the
Cream City hotel. who was arrested
this morning and aftcrw ards admitted
to Chief Jansen and Inspector Riemer
that he had checked the roor old wo-
man to death and had afterwards
thrown lamp on the floor. intending
to conceal the crime by burning the
house
He admits that robbery was the mo-
tive for the crime; that bis hotel was
not paying, and that, knowing Mrs.
Schrums had money, he planned to kill
and rob her. Friday morning about 3
O'Clock she left her room for short
time, and he crept in and lay in wait
When she returned he caught her by
the throat, choked her into insensi-
bility, and then searched the room
without finding any money.
By this time the poor woman showed
signs of returning consciousness. and
he again choked her-this time fatally.
After descending to the lower part
Of the house. he returned. carried off
part of her clothes and then threw the
lamp on the floor. When he supposed
the flames had made enough progress
to conceal the crime he turned in an
alarm of fire.

SENATOR Villas ON THE A T. A

Under date of Madison, Jan. &, 1894,
United States Senator Villas writes
the following terse letter to the editor
of the catholic Citizen,' OF Milwau-
kee, which will at once strike a re-
sponsive chord i'll the heart Of every
lover of freedom and universal liberty:
Il have received your request for
an expression of opinion concerning
the objects and methods of what you
designate as the new Know Nothing
'society-+the A. p. A If | am truly
Informed respecting it, my known
political association cannot leave the
answer doubtful, nor do l hesitate to
'avow with OpenneSS opinions which
are settled convictions Gu subjects of
political Importance.
Il have no knowledge of this new
organization, and am limited in speak
ing Of it to what | am credibly told
are it's methods and objects.
''First-I understand it to be an
'oath-bound secret society formed to
consolidate and govern by the secret
orders of it's controlling authorities
the political action of it's members as
citizens Of our state and country. AS
such, it merits only summary and uni
'versal condemnation. We are Il free
people, living in republican fraternity,
with all our institutions fashioned by
the design to secure free and enlight-
ON oil ony.t
with the will of a majority. TO the
good sense, integrity and justice of
such people every worthy political
object is to be addressed, and upon
these qualities its promoters may rely.
Roughly impetuous as public feeling
sometimes shows itself, it is a matter
for rejoicing that our history has es-
'tablished the entire safety of public
Judgment when it finally settles to
a strong conclusion. To instruct, ex-
'pand, quicken and guarantee this
electoral judgment, free, open, sturdy
agitation, discussion and all open
forms of education are essential. These
are the healthy and invigorating meth
'ods of civil liberty and must be cher
fshed by every man who has sense
and honesty fit for a share in enlight-
'ened human society. Here lies, in
fact, the very foundation of a rcDub-
lican government, and upon il rests
every just hope for is continuing
duration, improvement and pc, lection
to the happiest advantage of man
kind. To enter secret political So
'ciety, to submit his political freedom
to the behest of it's authorities IN
known to the laws, means the citizeE's

tee. the great differences of opinion
branches of congress concerning the
propriety Of granting additional or
amended authority to issue bonds in
any form or for any purpose, renders
1t doubtful whether new legislation
upon the subject can be secured in
time to provide the means which are
imperatiyely demanded in order TO
preserve the credit and honor of the
government.
The authority to issue and sell
bonds for the purpose Of maintaining
specie payments is expressly con-
ferred upon the secretary of the treas
ury by an act of january IA. 1879, but
il has not been exercised since 1870,
and Oh account of the high rate of in
tereSt provided for and the length Of
time such bonds would have to run,
have not been satisfied that such
IN emergency as heretofore would
clearly Justify their issue.
Tut the necessity for relief at this
time is so urgent and the prospect Of
material Improvement IN the financial
condition Of the government So prob
lematical. that unless authority to is

legations bearing Il lower rate Of IN

listing law is granted by congress at
