Distressed American.

Hank Dobson, superanuated brick
layer, for nine years resident of Ho-
noIulu. is in distress and wants to get
back to his home in New York. He has
worked for nearly all the contractors
here, but through accidents at the Da-
vies building and at the Custom House,
to zether with advanced age, he is now
incapacitated for work.
For the past thirteen months he has
been supported by E. B. Thomas, Fred
Harrison and other builders with whom
he has been employed, but these men
feel that they would like to crafty the
old gentleman's desire to get back to
his old home to spend his few remain
ing days. 1t is probable that subscrip-
ton paper will be taken around to raise
the funds necessary to pay his passage.

of the ships muskets. Then the
captain started up the gangway,
musket in hand. Mr.. Washburn
coming next, and the third mate,
also with a musket, close at hand.
Joe's attention was at that mo-
ment attracted by noise on
deck. and the captain grabbed
the end Of the lance in the mans
hands and bent it over. AS he did
50 he called TO Washburn to go
fer" Joe. in those years Mr..
Washburn was afraid of nothing,
and he at once seized the lance,
which Joe dropped and started
forward Mr.. Nashburn, coming
from the lighted place onto the
dark deck. at first could see moth
/ ing. but he followed as best he
could. After going a short dis
lance Joe stopped, picked up the
whaling spade he had dropped,
and turning he gave Mr. Wash
/ burn a cut across the ribs with
the implement, the edge going
quite deep and inficting a cut
the scar of which the man carries
to this day. The force Of the
thrust threw Mr.. Washburn back
onto the main hatch, and the
third mate, at that time coming
up. Ieveled his gun at Joe and
pulled the trigger. The gun
missed fire, and Joe then gave the
man cut with the spade, the
the weapon striking him on one ell
bow and side, and giving him a
nasty wound. The man shouted,
and Mr.. Washburn grappled Joe,
pinning his arms to his sides, and
throwing him. AS he fell the
handle of the spade struck
against the bulwarks, and as Mr..
Washburn threw him, Joe turned,
the blade of the spade striking
him in the stomach, making a cut
from which his bowels prOtruded.
Mr.. Washburn, not realizing the
extent of JOe's injuries, then had
him on the deck, pounding him
for all he was worth. The third
mate asked to be allowed to take
a hand, and he went for Joe, who
got one of the mates fingers in his
mouth, and bit the member badly.
The captain came up with his
musket, but as JOe's condition
was then seen, no further hOstil-
tiles occurred. The wound in the
mans bowels were sewed up, and
he was placed in the fore hold,
but died in a week.
AS a result of the fright the
sailors received, one of the boat
steerers went insane. Soon after
MattapOisett brig was spoken,
and the captain of the India ex-
changed the insane man, who was
a kanaka, for a sound person. The
brig was not long after off Rio de
JaneirO, when the insane man
went onto one of the islands near
by. His clothes were afterward
found on the shore. but the man
was never heard from again.-Re'

HER AGE NO SHIELD.
The Mother of Eight Children Brutally
Beaten by Man OF Thirty
One Years.

A woman giving her name as Mrs. Will
son, aged about As years, is lying at the
home of charitable lady friend at L Polk
street, striving to recover from a dreadful
mauling given her by Jack Condor of
soda-water fame.
Mrs. Wilson is the mother of eight chill
dren, the eldest of whom is young man
m ore than old enough to vote. For some
time past she has resided with Condor,
W hofis 81 years old. at the house of col
ored M agnetic healer known as "Mingo, -
on Miss ion street, near Fifth. Her union
with Condor was cemented about eight
months ago by the birth of little girl.
The my strangers advent does not seem
TO have brought harmony to the queerly
assorted pair, who have been fighting ever
since she came to town.
Last Monday night things reached a
climax. Mrs. Wilson came out of the fray
with battered nose, closed eyes, an ear
mashed or chewed beyond recognition and
face colored black and blue from the
swollen lips upward.

HER DOCTORS BILL.
The Estate of PHILIPPINE Langfeldt,
Blanther's Victim, Sued for Medi-
cal Attendance.

Adolph Rapp, administrator of the es-
tate of Philippine Langfeldt, the old Ger
man lady supposed to have been murdered
by Josef B.anther, was sued yesterday by
G. Klein eberg, the man in whose house
the murder occurred, for $3.50 for services
alleged to have been rendered Mrs. Lang
feldt during her lifetime.
The complaint is very ambiguous and
makes absolutely no mention of the nature
of the alleged service. 1t is simply stated
that on June 13, 1896. Kleineberg pre-
sented his claim to Mr.. Rapp, and that on
June 18 it was re eiected
DIR. Kleineberg, on being seen yesterday,
said: This is simply suit to recover on

GOLDEN GATE CARNIVAL
More Than $1,000 in Sight,
With Large Corporations
to Hear From.
Conceded That Recent Warm Remarks
Served to Adver tise the
Carnival.

Reports made by members of the ex ecu
tive committee of the Carnival of the
Golden Gate at the meeting held last
night showed that little more than $11, 600
is in sight at present. This does not in
clude the large corporations, whose sub
scriptions will be made known between
now and next Monday.
Each member of the committee made a
very favora BILE report. They stated that
some few did not like the idea of the car
nival in San Francisco for the reason that
they thought it was initiating the smaller
towns. Others thought times were too
hard TO have a carnival; but an over
whelming majority declared themselves
in favor of it, and while their subscrip-
tions would not be large, still. the COM
mittee feels that they will be able to raise
the amount that will be required to sue
cessfully carly on the carnival.
Carnival Director Friedlander, at the
request of the Merchants Association,
met with their executive committee yes
terday afternoon. He was informed that
the association as body were TOO much
engrossed with their labors on the new
charter, but with the exception of but one
member the others personally were in
hearty accord and would subscribe.
lueEe was mutual expression OF gOOQ
feeling, and regret that any controversy
had arisen, but both sides conceded that
the warm remarks of the past few days
had been Of much benefit in bringing the
merits of the carnival directly before the
public.
Colonel O'Byrne urged resolution to
express the sentiment of the members
that the carnival should be carried through
IN all its original splendor and glory, and
that each member should use his best per-
sonai efforts 10 induce his friends TO con-
tribute toward ifs support.
In order to accom- modate some of the
mem bers of the committee who have taken
up their residence in the country during
the summer days and have been unable
to attend, the meetings will be held on
Monday at noon for the next few weeks,
and with this understanding Henry ].
Crocker will again assume his position as
a mem Der of the executive committee, as
he expressed himself both verbally and
by letter to several members of the COM
mittee as being heartily in accord with
Its movements, and that his best efforts
will be at any time atethe disposal of the
committee during the hours in which he
is IN the City.

in this City, where he will take part in
the campaign that is to be carried on in
favor of the constitutional amendment
granting local option in taxation.
The doctor is at present in Montana,
looking after some of his numerous min
ing interests, which he has scattered over
the country. He has also several large
mining interests in Placer and Ell Dorado
counties, in this State.
DR.. Law and his partner have a central
Office in New York. The doctor is con-
tinually running back and forth between
the METROPOLIS and Delaware, where he
has been busy in the single-tax campaign
ever since its beginning about year ago.
He travels through the State, talking to
the farmers, speaking in churches, and
when in the towns and cities speaking
night after night on the street corners.
DR.. Law has furnished tent for the
campaign which is used in various parts
of Delaware for campaign meetings.
Among the speakers who travel with it is
Robert Nj. Mobius, the brilliant young
Oakland speaker who left for the East
some months ago.
When the single-tax campaign was in
augurated in Delaware a year ago last
June DR.. Law was one af the most promi-
nent of the score of Philadelphians who
began the fight for tax reform. At the
opening meeting the doctor prophesied
that before the campaign was over some
ten or a dozen prominent speakers whom
he named would come to speak in Della
ware. Strange to say, without one excep-
ton, all the speakers mentioned have
since entered the fight.
''Dr. Law is one of the most inde-
fatigable workers in Delaware" said
Ralph E. Hoyt, who has just returned
from Delaware, where he and the doctor
have been travelling about together carry
ing on the campaign. "His geniality
and indefatigable zeal gain him admis-
sion everywhere, and he seizes eagerly
every opportunity to preach the great re-
form of which he is such an earnest advo-
cate"
