MIR. HARTMAN Will BE THERE
The Electric Railway to Go on the
Block To-day.

The sale of the Electric Railway will
take place at p O'Clock to-day at the office
of the company at Gwinnett and Price
streets United States Marshal j. d. Har-
rell will conduct the sale under the order
Of the court. Who will get the road is a
problem which remains to be solved.
Mr.. j. n. Hartman, representing Mr..
George Parsons of New York, said last
night that he will put in a bid for the
property. Mr.. Hartman, of course, did
not say how high he would bid. 1t Is
natural to suppose, however, that he will
make a pretty good offer as, by the pur-
chase of the Electric railway, the Parsons
interest would entirely control the street
railway situation in Savannah.
The majority bondholders, represented
by Mr.. J. s. Collins, are prepared to make
a strong bid. This interest controls nearly
$4,000 of the bonds and is in position to
bid high. one of the points of the contest
is that the syndicate headed by Mr. Col
Inns, representing the majority bondhold-
ers, declined to let the minority bond
holders come in with them, except on the
condition of the payment of a bonus of
$3.50 on each bond, which bonus was re-
quired to be paid whether the syndicate's
bid was accepted or not. This amounted
to a freeze-out so far as the minority was
concerned and that interest will make a
separate bid No bid will be considered
unless backed up by a certified check for
$4,000, and the successful bidder must at
once put up an additional certified check
of 100000

HEAD LUNA ACCUSED OF KILLING
A CHINESE.
Charged With Kicking Him to Death
in the Field-Second Luna Also I'm
plicated-Meagre Details.

The steamer Lehua brought down
word from Hawaii last night of
probable murder on Hakalau planta-
tion that has caused great excitement
in that vicinity and at Hilo. A Chi
nese field hand was the victim, and the
head luna and second luna of the plan
tation were arrested and charged with
the crime, but released on bonds.
When the Lehua left Hilo the accused
lunas, together with Manager Ross
and Bookkeeper Patton were in Hilo,
preliminary hearing of the lunas was
to have taken place last Wednesday,.
Owing to the reticence of the Off
GERS of the Lehua, it is difficult to
gather much concerning the circum-
stances attending the alleged murder.
The story goes, however, that two Chi
nese field hands who had been giving
the lunas lots of trouble of late, open
ly rebelled last Tuesday. The head
luna, it is alleged, fell upon them with
foot and spur, kicking one of the men
in the chest with such force thar a
few moments later he had a hemorr-
hage. The affair occurred on the
Honilima side of the plantation and
the Chinese started for Hilo with the
injured man. He died before they
reached town, and they at once swore
out warrants for the arrest of thc
head luna and his first assistant,
charging them with murder. Just
how the second luna figured in the
case could not be learned.
The accused lunas drove into Hilo
as soon as they learned that they wers
wanted. They were released almost
at once under heavy bonds. The
trouble occurred on Tuesday, and the
examination was set for the following
day. When the Lehua was at Hilo a
large number of the Chinese from the
plantation were in town. Both the
Chinese and whites were very much
excited.

DIRECT CONNECTION TO BE HAD
WITH TACOMA.
Honolulu viii Probably BE Port of
Call-Arrangements Made With the
Northern Pacific.

A late dispatch from Tacoma says
that monthly steamship service is
to be established between that port
and Papeete, the chief port of Tahiti,
traffic arrangements have practically
been completed with the Northern Pa
cifc Railroad so that mail passen-
gers and freight will have quick dis
patch for the East.
Undoubtedly this is the line spoken
of by Mr.. Young, the wealthy Tahitian
who passed through Honolulu a few
weeks ago, on his way to the Coast
on a secret mission. He stated, guard
might be established, and, positively,
if it was established, Honolulu would
be calling station. While Mr..
Goung's name does not appear in CON
nection with the dispatch, it is believ-
ed that he engineered the scheme. The
dispatch is dated May Is, and is given
III lUll herewith.
"A monthly steamship service be-
tween Tacoma and Papeete. the chief
sea port of Tahiti, has been arranged
for by the French government. The
purpose is to provide for the quick
transportation of correspondence, mail
matter, passengers and Government
supplies between France and her colo
nies in the South seas, per steamers
flying the French flag. The present
means of transportation are by sail
ing vessel from the United States and
English steamship line between New
Zealand and Tahiti. II. +. Tyson, Con-
sular agent of France for the North
west, today announced that Tacoma
has been officially selected as the
American terminus of the line. He
will receive proposals up to May 81
for the furnishing of such monthly
steamship service, the contract to in
clude captains and crew. The award
will be made July next at the French
Colonial Office, at Papeete, the con-
tract to cover three years from Octo-
Der l. 1897, to October I, 1900. Traffic
arrangements between the new line
and the Northern Pacific Railroad are
practically completed. 1t is expected
that two steamers will be employed
Mail and supplies from France will
come overland across the United States
to Tacoma for transshipment.
