DIED ALONE.
Old Dan Markell Falls Back on His Bed
i'll FOwler's Yard. Corpse.
No One 10 Bury Him Bat the Good Jani
tor-EOt Even a Prayer over
His Grave.

Dan Markell, an American, aged 76,
years, dropped dead while sitting on
the edge of his bed in a room in Fow-
ler's Yard at 11:15 a. m. yesterday, the
cause of death being asthma.
Markell had been sick in bed ever
since Friday, and was so i'll on Sunday
that two men remained on watch all
night on the veranda outside.
At about 10 in the morning John
Gilbertson, the janitor in charge of all
the cottages in Fowler's Yard. dropped
in at Markets room to see how the old
man was getting along. He was sitting
on the edge of the bed, apparently no
worse off than he had been on the pre-
vious day.
Gilbertson asked him if there was
anything he could do for him. TO which
question he replied in the negative.
After this the janitor went over to an
morning duties. He had been gone
but four or five minutes when a man
ran over and said that Markell had been
seen to throw up his hands suddenly
and fall backwards on the bed. Upon
investigation it was found that the Old
man was quite dead. His remains
were prepared for burial and in the af-
ternoon with no one to follow the
hearse but John Gilbertson, the good
hearted old janitor, and no one to say
prayer over the grave. Dan Marke
was buried in Makiki cemetery.
Markell was particularly stubborn
| about going to the hospital, preferring
to remain in his room in Fowler's yarC
and be treated by Japanese doctor.

MAUI COFFEE LANDS.
Commissioner Marsden Returns
From Tour of Investigation.

Commissioner Marsden Returns
From Tour of Investigation.
Commissioner Marsden returned from
Maui on the Claudine on Sunday where
he had gone to investigate coffee lands.
He found one section of the lands ad
mirably adapted to the coffee industry
excepting that the large koa forest will
have to be cut down and the stumps
taken out. This is necessary from the
fact that coffee trees will not thrive in
the near vicinity of koa.
Mr.. Marsden considers the conditions
there ripe for the coffee industry with
this exception and many persons are
taking advantage of the opportunity
land of the koa and preparing the nur-
series. He does not consider that there
is any danger of materially reducing
the supply of koa as where the land has
been cleared thousands of young shoots
from three to nine inches in length
have sprung up and may be transplant
ted to any other section.
Mr.. Marsden's next trip will be in the
Waianae coffee belt, a locality in which
he has great hopes, but unfortunately
there is not sufficient available land in
a desirable locality. In some places at
Waianae trees, two years out of the
nursery have branches, not occasional
ones but plenty of them, containing
$50 berries. AS the average is a thou
sand berries to the pound of coffee the
trees there should yield on the average
three and one-half pounds.

EFFECTS OF THE DREARY EXHrBr-
TIoN OF WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
The dismal failure Of the Bryan and Sewall
notification meeting at Madison Square Garden
on Wednesday night was the talk of the town
yesterday. No one could remember case
where man of prominence ever came here
with similar reputation for the possession of
great oratorical gifts and fell SO far short OF
meeting the expectations of bis audience and the
public. The complete collapse of the demon
stratiOn, from which so much had been hoped
by the silver m,n, was noticeable in several
ways. There was general feeling of relief in
the city because the meeting had failed TO i'm
press the public favOrably. The confidence OF
business men In the success of sound-money
principles was strengthened. and there was a
favorable turn in the stock market The recep-
ton for the public by Mr. and Mrs Bryan and
Mr. Sew;ll at the Windsor Hotel in the forenoon
anything but a success, as the number OF
persons who attended it was comparatively
small A reception f0r women by Mrs Bryan
and Mrs Richard T. Bland in the afternoon was
equally devoid of any Signs of interest on the
part Of the public. 1t was announced later that
Mr. Bryan had abandoned his expected trip TO
Maine in company with Mr.. Sewall The man
ayers Of the Democratic campaign were in
state of dismay and uncertainty last evening.
There was said to be a disagreement between
Chairman Jones and Mr.. Bryan as to the place
to be selected for the headquarters. and Senator
German, II was asserted. would not be selected
as the chairman of the Campaign Committee.

MILLER OR .SHEARD!
A STUBBORN CONTEST IN THE HERKI-
MER AND ONEIDA CAUCUSES

BOTH SIDES CLAIM THE vICToRy-UNsCRU-
PULoUs USE OF STATE PATRONAGE AND
EMPLOYEES BY ALDRIDGE AND HACKETr
lBY TELEGRAPH To THE rRIBuNEJ
Utica. Aug. 13.-The Republican caucuses
which were held in the counties Of Herkimer
/ and Oneida to-day and tonight were remark
able for their clear revelation of the attempt of
the Platt organization to prevent the election of
Warner Miller as a delegate to the Republican
State Convention. and to bring about the re-
election OF Charles W. IIackett as member
of the Republican State Committee Patronage
was used in both counties TO an astonishing ex-
tent TO bring about the election of delegates to
the Assembly District conventions favorable TO
Mr. Hackett and against Mr.. Miller. In both
Oneida and Herkimer counties the canal en-
ployes of George w. Aldridge quit work for the
state and gave up their entire time to political
labor in support of Mr. Eackett. In Herkimcr
County they labored hard to defeat Mr. Miller.
Owing to the fact that many of the caucuses
were held late this evening il was impossible to
tell positively at midnight whether Mr.. Miller
had been elected or whether Mr. Hackett had a
clear majority
Mr. Miller's friends claimed that he had thirty
one votes to the Assembly District Convention,
and that Titus Sheard. the opposition Patt can
didate, had only twenty y-seYen votes. while there
were six unpledged delegates.
Mr. Sheard sent dispatch to Utica at mid
night claiming the support of thirty-four dele
gates and asserting that Warner Miller had the
support Of only thirty delegates. 1t therefore
looks if the decision to whether warner
Miller or Titus Sheard is TO control the Hcrkimer
County delegation at the Republican state Con
ventiOn will not actually be made until the Re
publican State Convention is held.
William f. Lewis made Il brave struggle for
the place of State Committeeman in the lst

Charles w. Hackett. 1t looks, however, as
