Some of the residents of Sherman
township, in this city last Thursday,
seemed to be very much concerned re-
garding the whereabouts of one Hen
ry Schott. They state that Schott had
been working in the Morton brick
yard up to last September, when he
mysteriously disappeared, since which
time nothing has been heard from
him. II appears that Schott had
about $50 in cash on his person at the
time of the disappearance and the
Sherman residents suspect foul play.
Schott owed no one, but on the other
hand, had quite an amount of money
coming to him from Morton parties,
according to the statements made in
this Office. He left bicycle and q
horse at McNiven's, and they are there
still.

BOAT RACES IN FUTURE.
Local Climbs Agitating for a Race
Course in the HarbOP.
Straight-avvav Course Mile and "a Half
70 be Observation-Disclosures for
the Purpose.

A proposition Is now before the
MYRTLE and Healani boat clubs
which, if carried out, will very
materially affect all boat races in
IN the future. Roughly stated, it
is to arrange a straight-away course
in the harbor obviating the neces-
sity Of going to Pearl Harbor to
race, and OF using the present IN
satisfactory course out to the bell
buoy.
Between the quarantine station
and the cattle pen is a sand bar
connecting the deep water Of the
harbor proper with that on the
other side.
1t is proposed to dredge this out
and connect the two bodies of deep
water, making room for a fine row.
ing course of a mile and a half In
length, the only perceptible curve
being about where the Bennington
now lies. The dredging will be
such as to make the water over the
bar about two feet at low tide.
If the proposition can be carried
out, there is a new era for boating
in Honolulu. a course immedi-
ately in front of the Wharves is all
that could be wished for.
One of the greatest obstacles to-
the new course is the transporta-
ton of immigrants from the quar-
antine station to the mainland in
carriages; this will be materially
interfered with.
Enthusiasts in both the Myrtle
and Healani boat clubs are work
ing up the dredging matter, and
will have it ready for presentation
to their respective clubs in the near
future. A subscription will be
taken up among the merchants
and public generally for the pur-
pose mentioned, and it is reason
able to expect liberal contributions,
as the measure will, if properly |
carried out, be of great interest to
all concerned.

COLoRED BRETHREN DISTURBED
A Libel Case Appealed and the Lower
Court Reversed

In the fall of last year the colored COM
munity in this city as well as at Pasade-
ma were much disturbed by an article
that appeared in the Eagle a weekly
paper representing the interests of the
colored people. The article reflected
upon the character of Rev. S. S. Free
man, and he promptly instituted pro-
ceedings against j. c. c. jackson, charg-
ing him with libel.
While the main part of the article was
defamatory, the words to which the
reverend gentleman took exception were
as follows: This man Freeman has not
turned all of the money over to the COM
mittee that he sold tickets for; If so,
the committee would not have had to
beg for money to send the delegate
north"
The above paragraph alluded to the
tickets being sold for an entertainment
to be given for the purpose of raising
money to send a delegate to San Fran
cisco for the purpose Of attending the
Afro-American league.
Jackson was arrested and brought to
trial in the police court Of this city,
when he was found guilty as charged.
His counsel moved for arrest of judg-
ment on variety of grounds, but was
overruled, the court filming the defend
ant 500, with the alternative of being
imprisoned in the county Jail for 100
days. In November the defendant took
his appeal to the superior court. and
yesterday Judge Smith reversed the
hnd1ng OF the lower court on the ground
that that court had no jurisdiction,
The case will now be placed on the
call calendar for setting.

M'cARrHY's CONFESSION.
Chief Glass Has His Acknowledgment
Of Safe Robbery in Seattle.

Apropos Of the effort made in the SUI
perior court on Wednesday to secure the
release Of the bank tunneler, ]. j. Nc
earthly on a motion to set aside the in
formation against him on the ground
of defective complaint. it is interesting
to know that Chief of Police Glass now
has in his possession a signed sworn
confession of Mccarthy of the blowing
open and robbery of the safe of the
Standard Oil company in Seattle, Oc-
Der rs, 1891.
It will be remembered that Mccarthy,
when first brought down to this city
after his arrest in San Francisco. indig-
nantly denied that he had ever been in
custody before and resented the impu-
tatfon that he was an ex-convict and a
"sQuealer." The confession now in the
possession of the police was made by
Mccarthy when he turned states evil
dence and got out of his scrape by so
doing. sending his two pals, "Deafy"
Conley and Harry Adams, to the peni-
Tertiary for long terms.
The three cracked the safe, securing
only $35 each, instead of a haul of sew
eral thousand dollars as had been ex-
pected. The story of the robbery has
already been published in extenso in
these columns, but 1t is only lately that
the confession of Mccarthy and that of
his pal "Deafy" Conley have been Sc
cured. They will be used. If necessary,
in the forthcoming trial should an at
tempt be made by the defense to prove
a previous good character and do the
injured innocent act.

to hold until the debt was paid, and the
Celestial restarateur, upon going up
town in the evening. thoughtlessly took
the gun under his blouse. Therein he
acted not wisely. A police officer nabbed
him on the charge Of carrying a con-
cealed weapon, and the city justice
mulcted his Acknowledged brother to the
tune of 800.
The fine was undoubtedly excessive
and would never have been levied on all
American, but the Caucasian race Is get
ting played out, and it takes willy
Monaghan to dig up 800 on demand,
just for packing a pistol along without
permit. The case was appealed, how
ever, and came before Judge Smith yes
friday. TIL court finding the lower court
had committed no errors of law, af-
firmed its decision.

SHE WON'T BULGE.
Trying to Gust the Tenant of the Tenn.
Pile Street Fruit Store.

1t is sometimes hard for property
owners to get tenants into their prem
ises, but that even is easier than to get
them out when they are once in possess
sion.
That fruit store almost at the corner
of Temple and New High streets is again
the subject of contention. In April, 1894,
Adeline Johnson ct al, as trustees for
the Allen estate leased the rear part of
the stores, 225. 226, 227 North Spring
street to William j. Gardner for two
years at monthly rental of $40 A
clause .e4s inserted in the lease prohib-
iting the soliciting of the whole or part
of the premises. In April. however, in
violation of this clause, Gardner let
ITO Temple street to Thomas Brindley,
who remained in the premises until Au-
Mrs A. Rapsch, who still retains pos
session. and who is made defendant in
the present suit.
In April of this year. after the expi-
ration Of the first lease, the PLAINTIFFS
made another lease to W. j. Gardner for
three years. and this document also had
the clause prohibiting subleasing. But
Mr.. Gardner again proceeded diligently
to break this part OF the contract, but
paid the monthly rental accruing on
the whole of the demised premises up
to the 18th of June. On that date he
assigned his lease to the plaintiffs. IT
is now desired that possession of the
premises be obtained, but the defendant
will not bulge.
Judgment is asked for restitution of
premises and damages for rents, and
that the monthly rental be trebled by
way of damages.

WHEN CORPORATIONS CLASH.
The Public Generally May, Perhaps
Reap a Benefit,

What promises to develop into a IT,
yesterday In department two, before
Judge Clark.
The suit appears as that of the People
of the State Of California ex rel. John
Kenealy VS.. L. F. Scott, w. S. Wright
and the West Side Lighting company
The suit was instituted by Attorney Cen
eral Fitzgerald on the complaint Of
kenealy, but there is a suspicion that
the Los Angeles Lighting company Is
behind the prosecution.
kenealy owns land on Hill, Wall and
San Julian streets, and as a property
owner, as we'll as taxpayer, has direct
interest in the matter involved. In
April of last year the city council ad-
vertised a franchise for city lighting to
be disposed of by bid On June Sd the
bids were opened, and the highest was
that Of L. ]. c. Spruance for s506. On
July 10Th the franchise was awarded to
L. F. Scott, who had bid $107, and Of
fered to furnish the city hall with light
free of cost during the existence of the
franchise. The defendants, acting under
the Scott franchise, proceeded to erect
poles and wires along the streets, and
the present suit has been brought to
stop such work from proceeding. It is
claimed that Scott has acted without any
right; that the franchise was not granted
to the highest bidder, and as the city
council acted without authority the
franchise is void. Judgment is asked
that the defendants be adjudged guilty
of usurping and unlawfully holding and
attempting to exercise a franchise, and
asking that they be excluded from IL,
with costs of action. etc.
The case did not proceed beyond its
preliminary stage yesterday, Judge
Clark taking under Amusement the ques.
ton whether or not the LosS Angeles
Lighting company should not be made
to bear the burden of the prosecution
instead of the people of the state.

A FAULTY INDICTMENT.
Found by the Late Grand Jury Against
an Innocent Man.

The last grand jury made quite a
record for finding indictments against
individuals that when brought to the
test in open court were found to be
faulty. The last of these was disposed
of yesterday in department one.
The facts in this case are best under
stood by the perusal Of an affidavit filed
by Deputy District Attorney McComas.
and upon which he asked that the case
against s. A. Garrett be dismissed.
The affidavit is addressed to the dis
trict attorney and reads as follows:
In regard to the indictment found
by the late grand jury against s. A.
Garrett, charged with the embezzle-
ment of funds belonging to c. l.. Nc
Combs, and V. G. Baldwin, / desire to
say l never charged Mr.. Garrett with
embezzling any funds of Mr. Baldwin or
myself At the time Mr.. Baldwin and
myself assigned the warrant for the
improvement of Echandia street to Mr..
Garrett it was agreed that Mr.. Garrett
should pay the money due to the Cres-
cent Coal company Cor Mr. Lockhart)
until the bill l owed them for cemen,
was paid. Nobody was a party to this
agreement but Mr.. Garrett, Mr.. Bald
win and myself nor had i notified the
Crescent Coal company. nor intended
that said company should at that time
