Suicide.

An elderly man named Ed.
Markle, who worked pineapple
farm in Manoa valley, committed
suicide Sunday morning by taking
strychnine. He was about sixty
years of age, and leaves a wife
and family. Markle lived many
years at Lahaina, moving to Ho-
nolulu few years ago. Within
a day or two of his self-destruc-
tion he had been at the Hawaiian
Hotel to meet gentleman Of
Lanai on business. Deputy Mar
shal A. NJ. Brown held a coroner's
inquest at tn qouse, the jury
rendering n verdict in accordance
with the facts. Markle was q
Frenchman.

Court Martial.

Second Lieutenant G.. w. r.
King of Company E, regulars, was
the subject of court martial that
opened at tho Executive building
on Saturday, and concluded its
Investigations on Sunday. Lieute-
nant Colonel j. Fl Fisher, when
seen Sunday afternoon, would not
divulge the nature of the charges
or the findings. He said that the
charges were not so serious as
had been reported. The court
martial consisted of Captain Os-
car White and Paul Smith
Lieutenant j. w. Jones and
others. Quartermaster w. G..
Ashley was Judge Advocate al
the trial, and A. G. M. Robertson
appeared for the defense. Mr.
Robertson said to our reporter
that the charges were serious
enough on paper, but when i
came to the proof they became
rather thin. Second Lieutenant
Burgett of Co. f, regulars, is alst
awaiting court martialing, it il
said for appearing on duty under
the influence of drink.

Observations.


People here should take a
large grain of salt with report
ed interviews attributed to pol
itical exiles on the Coast. Some
of these have already been
proved complete fabrications,
and there is doubtless at least
exaggeration in all of them. 1t
would be hard to find more
unscrupulous journalism any
where than the San Francisco
variety.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1895, 1895-05-13

The INDEPENDENT by no
means grudges the Custom
House employees their well
earned annual vacation. Most
of them do more work and get
less pay than other government
officials. We only claim that
the Collectors General should
do the same work as former
collectors have done with less
clerical aid, and get out his
report. If he can't do it, let
the Custom House get more
clerks or another boss.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1895, 1895-05-13

WHILE the INDEPENDENT does
not altogether agree with the
author of the Pearl Harbor
article which is concluded in
to-day's issue, we believe it has
been of interest to our readers
to see the often discussed sub
iect treated in a manner differ
ing from the old theories and
traditions entertained by naval
MEN,

AT INDEPENDENoE PARK.

The second part of the pro-.
gramme were the sports and ad-
dresses at Independence Park.
which was beautifully decorated
and reminded old imners Of an
old-fashioned market place
Booths and tents were scattered
all over the grounds and the
various sports took place in diff
ferent places. The spectators
lounged around from one place to
another, seeing the ports or the
fencing or the wrestling as it
suited their fancies. About 2
O'Clock the literary exercises
took place in the hall, which
was appropriately decorated.
The hall was crowded with
people who, to judge from the
cheering, must have enjoyed the
addresses very mnch. They
sounded all right The different
sports were very amusing. The
fencing and wrestling are certain
ly unique and there seems to be a
good deal of bluff in their
method. The fencing c,usists a
great deal in the combatants
calling each other names (it
sounded at least very "French")
and then biting away. The up
per parts of their arms, which
were unprotected, must have been
black and blue, as great deal
of the parrying was done with
that part of their anatomy. The
running races and ball game were
also highly appreciated by the
audience, among which there Was
a large contingent of foreigners.
In the evening there was a
theatrical performance in the
hall and magic lantern show
which presented many war pic
lures, naturally received with
deafening cheering. Fireworks
were burned during the evening
and about nine o'clock the happy
crowd started for home singing
and laughing. and the army
forming lantern procession
which looked very pretty. There
is only one accident to report
One of the mounted soldiers was
thrown by his horse in the park
and unfortunately fractured his
leg. He was i'm mediately attend
ed to by the ambulance corps
whose quickness and precision
showed that they were familiar
with that branch of the service.
The Japanese have set other
nationalities here good example
