A DEAD PATIENT
Was Brought to a Doctor
From the Pail.
| Fall of 500 Feet-Broken and Bruis'
ed-Physician's Hard Ride.
Laborers Seem Afraid.

Coolies from the Pail grade brought
to Japanese physician of the city yes
terday a dead man for patient. The
body was that of laborer who had
tumble of nearly 500 feet. He was
working with a heavy wooden bar
when the accident overlook him.
A few minutes after Z o'clock yester-
day morning, DR.. ]. T. Wayson re-
ceived a rush message from the Pail
camp of Wilson & WEitehouse. With
case of emergency instruments, band
ages. lotions and narcotics the doctor
made a quick ride up Nuuanu valley
When DR.. Wayson reached the scene
Henry Crane and others were calling
to the Japs bringing up the injured
man to hurry with their burden. The
rescue task had been heavy one, as
the fall was almost sheer.
An examination of moment dis
closed the fact that there was not the
slightest hope for the man. His skull
was fractured in two or three places,
his left arm was broken at the wrist,
several ribs on the left side were
broken and there were severe bruises
on the face, head, shoulders, breast
and lower extremities. The poor labor
er was a mass of fresh, bleeding
| wounds. He was not able to move and
| groaned but slightly. The physician
from the city did all that was neces-
sary and stated that the man could
not live an hour. The Japanese were
willing to believe this, they said. but
wanted it confirmed by one of their
own nationality. The man was on a
| hastily constructed stretcher and his
| friends started for town with him at a
brisk trot. They had proceeded but a
couple of miles when they were over
/ taken by white man from the camp
and it was seen that the patient was
quite dead Nevertheless the body was
brought for treatment and soon order
ed buried.
All the laborers at the Pail have
been warned hundreds of times to b.
careful, but the repeated lectures seen
to do no good. They are very reckless
The manner of this mans death wa
like the fall of the pictured Irishmal
sitting at the slim end of the limb o
a tree and saving it in two. He stoot
on a heavy rock and after some pick
ling applied his wooden lever. Tn
weight responded to power and tn
Jap went tumbling backwards with tn
bar in his hands. With this he parte
company quite early.
The first drop made by the man wa
no less than so feet This alone wa
more than likely sufficient to kill him
He kept on tumbling, raising flood Q
lose dirt and stones. His last heav
fall was over cliff about ten fee
high. Companions rushed down a
once. They were so affected by tn
accident that there was no gettin
them to work the remainder of tn
day.
Henry Crane fell from within tire
yards of where the Jap started yes
terday a short time ago. He manage
to get on his back and by use of arm
and legs stopped himself and save
his life.

The minstrel people of the U. S. S.
Baltimore have been approached by
the members of the minstrel troupe in
town who have made the proposition
to join forces but it is very likely that
the former will decline. They have
purchased over 5000 worth of new and
attractive costumes and will probably
use this among themselves.

LYNcHBURG, Va, Oct. 5.-The State
convention called by the Lamb faction
OF the republican party met in the
Opera House to-day. The convention
is one of the largest ever assembled in
Virginia, the Opera House being packed
with delegates. Enthusiasm ran high.
Col. William Lamb called the conven.
ton to order and was wildly cheered
throughout his speech, in which he de-
nounced the regular machine for the
cowardice displayed in refusing to call
a convention of the party. He charged
that the Agnew, Brady faction was
composed exclusively of federal Office
holders who are afraid of the people.
The 800 delegates yelled until they
were exhausted over this declaration.

and he also severely arraigned the cad

GEN. LEE FOR THE SENATE.

A dispatch from Richmond says Con
sui General Fitzhugh Lee arrived there
yesterday and expects to remain with
his family during the month unless he
is sooner recalled to Cuba by orders
from Washington. He said he did not
expect to remain in Cuba throughout
the present administration, expressing
The belief that President Mckinley
would decide sooner or later to send q
political friend to that country.
The question of General Lees enter
ing the contest for United States Sena-
tor to succeed Mr.. Thomas S. Martin,
two years hence, was preached by a
correspondent. At first the consul.
general declined to discuss it, saying
that so long as he had the consulship
be felt that he should refrain from dis
cussing politics, In the course of fur
Their conversation it was manifest that
the Ex-Governor is intent upon having
another contest with Senator Martin
for the position which the latter now
holds and for which he defeated the
general four years ago.
The general expressed himself as
being heartily In favor of the nomina
ton of United States Senators by
primary elections. He added that
under no circumstances would he make
aoy announcement Of his candidacy for
the Senate until after he had shaken
the harness of federal Office from his
shoulders. "If, though, I determine to
enter the race" he continued, II shall
not sit down end wait for the Office to
come to me. ! shall take the stump
aud canvass the entire State from the
seas to the mountains"
General Lee remarked that he al
ways liked to 60 before the people, be-
cause he could talk to them and could
usually convince them that he was
right.
While his diplomatic relations pre-
clude his announcing his candidacy for
Mr.. Martins place 10 the Senate, they
do not prevent bis friends from doing
80 and looking after his interests in
that direction. 1t is safe to assert that
when the time comes for the senatorial
race, General Zee will be in it, and that,
too, with all of his old-time dash and
vim.
