ooRBErr is GUILTY.
Bids His Wife Goodbye Five Years
Imprisonment.

SaaRa
d. w. Corbett, late secretary OF
the Y. NJ. G. A., plead guilty this
morning in the District Court to
violating Chapter Kill, Section IL,
of the Penal Code.
The case was set for trial for to-
morrow but it was arranged that
the trial should come off this morn
ing.
Judge de la Vergne presided and
the defendant was represented by
Mr.. j. Alfred Magoon. Ou behalf
OF the prosecution appeared the At
torney- General ad interim, Mr..
Cooper, aud the Marshal.
At 10 o'clock Corbett entered the
courtroom together with his wife,
who has stood by him through this
disgracefnl trial. No other mem
bers OF the Waterhouse family were
present,
Marshal Brown read the awful
charge against Corbett who, in re-.
sponse to question OF the magis-
trate, entered plea OF guilty.
Niue specific charges were then
presented, all to the same effect, and
in each a plea of guilty was entered.
When tho Marshal read out the 1lth
accusation against the unfortunate
man, Mr.. Cooper, Attorney-General
ad interim arose, and asked permis-
sion to enter nolle proSequi. The
Minister asked the Court to take
into consideration the fact that the
defendant in pleading guilty had
atoned to certain extent to the
young boys injured by his heinous
crime, by saving their names from
going on record and becoming the
property of the public.
The Court granted the motion Of
the Minister and allowed a noile
proseqw to be entered in other
charges against Corbett.
D w. Corbett, ex secretary OF the
Y. M. 9. A. of Honolulu, was eventu.
ally sentenced to imprisonment at
hard labor for five years.
, Corbett said good bye to his wife
in the courtroom aud was immedi-
ately afterward removed to Oahu
Jail.
The case has created considerable
notice here, and Marshal Brown is
highly complimented in his attitude
towards a man whose family con.
nectious are powerful. 1t was gen.
orally reported that "compromi so
would be effected. The Marshal
has proven that he is not for sale
and that his honor is above personal
influence aud sentiment.

The Carter Memorial.

Ed. The INDEPENDENT:-
| fail to see why the late Chas. L..
Garter should be immort allied
with memorial or monument
OF any kind or nature what
soever. And for the likes OF me
l cannot understand why he is term
ed hero and a patriot. In my
opinion he sought his own death by
trespassing at a place where his
presence was not wanted nor sought
after and where his duty did not
call him. Better give the memorial
to Koolau, the defender Of his rights
against a horde OF "Hessians." Ask
the outlaw Pat Cullen whether he
really saw Koolau's bones, and he
will answer that he had not. 1t is
said that his heroic body is not yet
smouldering in the dust, but that he
is very much alive.

This journal in spite of unlawful

its conductors, stood alone in the
contest between virtue and vice. 1t
was in no spirit of vindictiveness
that it preceded. 1t first issued
note Of warning to the guilty man
to assert and prove his innocence or
to remove his baneful presence from
our midst. Uuwise counsels pre-
vailed for a time with him, and it
became necessary to write in firmer
strains, for The INDEPENDENT from
the first was in possession of facts to
prove its assertions.

TIM HURST AND THE JUDGE.

Timothy Queensberry Hursts sug-

to umpire the Cleveland Oriole series.

Jacks skull would bluff a sledge. and
it's a wonder that Toms face didn't

Tom told me that the little telescoping
match with Jacks coco only left a

his skull on your face. There must

"I'n acknowledge that did give him

before I extinguished that fireman I
umpired a ten-inning game in st. Louis,

Browns won and the Judge was smit-
ten with my umpiring. We had talk
about the game. Yes, I knew he was
with me. I found out that he was one

ANOTHER ABOUT HURST.
Had Great Method of Disciplining
Kickers on the Field.

Tim Hurst, the league umpire. sell
dom fines ball players for kicking over
his decisions. He either puts them out
of the game or treats them to a verbal
roast, which in most cases is effective.
He is fearless, and that, perhaps, is
why he has trouble now and then.
Hurst was umpiring in Baltimore n
couple of years ago, and the champions
were having a rather hard time to win.
Several of Hurst's rulings had been
in favor of the visitors, and the Orioles
had kicked like mules. Finally Jenn-
nings rushed in from short field and
yelled:
Say, you thick Mick, what do you
mean by robbing us?"
Hurst pulled off his mask and, taking
hold of Jennings, said cody:
"A little bit swelled up eh, Mr.. Free
kle-F Face? Made a couple of good
stops, eh? Getting a bit chesty, eh,
because the ladies n the grand stand
are giving you the hand? You want to
make a monkey Of me, eh? Well, get
out of the game! See?"
Joe Kelly, the left fielder, chimed in
with some adverse comments, and
Hurst turned upon him quickly with:
80, Mr.. Fresh, you want to talk,
because you are captain since Robin
son is sick, eh? Think you're the
whole thing and that the crowd is stuck
eh? Well, you get out of the game,
too"
"See here, you monkey" yelled Nc
Graw, "you can't be putting the whole
team out"
tits you, is it?" responded Hurst
with laugh, land your head amt any
smaller than last year, Ell? Get out,
and be quick You're effective on the
bench! Now, if the rest of you guys
don't stop chewing at me I'll put the
whole gang out of the game"
Jennings, Kelley and McGraw, there
fore, had to take their places on the

QUEER CYCLE FOR TOURISTS.
The Omega Is New Machine ln-
vented by n Californian.


From the San Francisco Call.
William de witt, of Santa Barbara,
a woodcarver and inventor, has stud
led up and put together wheel which
he holds is an Improvement on any
of the cycle family yet turned out to
skim the road As he has not yet pat
ented his machine he refrains from
making public the details of his inven-
tion, but states that with a model
which he has constructed he can al
tain greater speed at less outlay of
propulsion power with 1t than with
an ordinary bicycle.
The Omega, as he calls 1t, has two
large wheels of any diameter chosen
running side by side, about two feet
apart, with small steering wheel
behind 1t. BY a peculiar device, net
yet made known, the rear wheel also
acts as a brake, which can be ooer-
ated by a slight change of position
on the part of the rider.
One of the largest wheels revolves
on ball-bearings, like the bicycle, and
it's mate revolves with it's axle, con-
sequently power need only be applied
to one wheel. the inventor claiming
that by this contrivance the force ne
cessary to drive the machine may be
hssened about one-half.
This cycle may be built for one or
two persons and the great wheels
may be of any diameter, from three to
six feet of desired.
Any amount of luggage may be load
ed on the machine, making it conven-
lent for tourists, hunters, or any per-
sons desiring to carry a complete
camping outfit with them.
Mr.. de Witt claims that the omega"
will cover by easy work one mile with
$50 power motions, or about twenty
miles an hour on a good country road.

FLEETWOOD PARK RACES.
The Favorite Has a Close Squeeze for
the Money.

the Money.
New York, Sept. AT the Fleet
wood park races today the attendance
was fair.
The race of the day was the 224
class, and the favorite had a close
squeeze for the money. Georgena led
off in the first heat, and though the
faNorite made strong play to the
half she could not catch leader, and
a break at the half settled her chances
for the heat. Georgena won handily
by length. In the second heat Geor-
gena led to the half Emily breaking
badly, but quickly settling, though a
distance out, she came up the hill like
streak and in lightning drive down
the home stretch got to the wire by a
length, with Quarter Staff second. The
third heat went to Georgena as Emily
again broke. The fourth heat was SEN
sational, as Georgena led from the
start to the stretch, where Emily and
Quarter Staff came up on almost even
terms, and they shot under the wire
only noses apart. Georgena appeared
to have a head the better of 1t, but
the judges saw Emely first, and the
heat went to her. She won the next
heat with ease. Summary:
