A Negro COachman Stabbed a Gro
GERS Porter and Defed Arrest.


A good deal Of excitement was caused
in the neighborhood of CASTOR and Hunt
ingdon and Lincoln and Abercorn streets
yesterday afternoon, about o'clock.
Charles Chapman, driver of the Hoyle
Grocery Company's delivery wagon, while
delivering goods in Huntingdon street lane,
became involved in a dispute with James
Jemison, Mr.. George w. Tiedemans coach
man, The dispute started over some
trivial matter, but soon became serious.
In the melee Chapman was severely
stabbed in the back. Thinking that he
had killed Chapman Jemison ran into Mr..
Ttedeman's house from the rear and lock-
ed himself in, swearing that he would
not be arrested. a large crowd gathered.
Policeman Tullis was summoned, and
went to the scene on his wheel He tele-
phoned headquarters of the state of AZ
fairs, and Policeman Murphy came out
with the patrol wagon. The two officers
did not know what part of the premises
to look for Jemison but finally located him
on the second floor of the residence He
swore he would not come down, and de-
fed them to break into the house. Po-
iceman McCabe was summoned from the
park and the barracks officers were notl-
fed.
Chief McDermott did not care to have
the men break into the house If it could
be avoided, though there were reports
that Chapman had been fatally cut. He
telephoned Tiedeman & Bro S. office and
was informed that both the Messrs. Tiede-
man were at the yacht club at Thunder
bolt. He telephoned there and Mr.. 1. B.
Tiedeman, who replied that the officers
could get in from the rear through his
premises which adjoin his brothers. This
did not prove to be necessary, however
Sergt. Baughn and Detective Scully went
out together with the intention of en-
tering the house in this manner. Detective
Scully saw Jemison looking out of a Sec
ond story window and told him that he
might as well come down and give him
self up as he was coming into the house
after him If he did not. Jemson saw the
game was up and agreed to surrender,
which he did.
Chapman was carried to the Savannah
Hospital, near by, where his wounds was
dressed by DR.. Dudley, the house physi-
clan, after which he was sent to his
home. Jemison was locked up on the
charge of assault with intent to murder.
Chapman claims that Jemison picked the
quarrel with him and then cut him in the
back as he was trying to get away.

PARKS AND TREES DISCUSSED.
The Commission Believes Public
Sentiment Is on Its side.

The Commission Believes Public
Sentiment Is on It's side.
An informal meeting Of the park and tree
commission was held yesterday, but moth
ing of any Importance was done. The
commissioners pleasantly discussed a sug-
gestion that they should pull of their coats
and go to work themselves since the city
council seemed unwilling to give them any
money TO pay a force OF men to do the
work.
Chairman Stone and Commissioner
Dafiln volunteered to get out the lawn
mower and cut the grass on Oglethorpe
avenue provided the other commissioners
would put Forsyth park in order Com
missioners Baldwin and Ellis did not fall
in SO readily with the suggestion, however
Chairman Stone and Commissioner Daffin
think that IL property advertised their
performance in cutting the grass on Ogle-
thorpe avenue would draw several thou
sand people, when they would avail them
selves Of the opportunity of passing the hat
They have no doubt that money enough
would be secured to run the commission
for month or two at any rate.
The commissioners are becoming very
tired of the awkward position in which
they are placed, having important work
iutrusted to their charge without the
means to carry 1t on. Every day the work
in the parks and squares is neglected
means certain amount OF depreciation
in what has already been done, and an ad-
ditional expenditure to put it in proper
condition when the work is resumed The
commissioners feel that they are intrusted
by law with this work. They know that
il must be carried on by the city and they
feel that for council to ask them to give
up the work in order that it may be placed
in the hands of some one else is treating
them with disrespect to say the least
From the many personal expressions
which have come to them without solicita-
ton, the commissioners feel that public
sentiment is with them and IL the matter
were left 10 the people that council would
be instructed to provide them with funds
to carry on their work.
The commissioners did not consider the
sugges ton that the city convicts be turn
ed over TO them to be put to work on the
parks and squares to be feasible The
police court prisoners would be more trou-
bic than they were worth, they said, and
1t would cost about as much to hire
guards to watch the prisoners as to pay
a force to do the same work and do Il
much better Besides, they said, Il would
not be a pleasant sight 10 see & Bang of
convict working in any of the squares,

Mayor Meldrim was asked yesterday
what he thought would be done with the
park and tree commission. He replied
that he didn't know. He seemed to enjoy
the discontinue of the commissioners, but
at the same time spoke as If the matter
had not been finally determined

NOTHING BUT PRAISE.
What a Gentleman Said About Going
to Market.

Its great satisfaction in buying meats
from Logan" remarked a gentleman In
the market yesterday morning to friend
who was selecting his Sundays dinner,
MY wife does the buying, usually. During
this hot spell she does not venture out and
I am commissioned with the marketing. 1
do not understand the business very well,
however. and just tell Logan to send US
something for dinner. That ends my part
of the business. Logan does the rest. He
has never failed to supply us with just
what pleased us. He is always attentive
to his business and to his customers, and
that IS why like TO patronize him."
1t Is the same case with all of Logan's
customers; they are always treated with
the same care, no matter whether they
select their meats themselves or send in
their orders. Logan delivers purchases

NET DEATH UNDER CAR WHEELS.
FIngman w. f. Hays of the Central
Killed,


w. r. Hays a flagman and extra freight
conductor, was run over and killed yester-
day in the Central railroads yards.
Hays had just arrived on freight train
No. AZ. This train reaches the yards at
1890 o'clock and twenty-five minutes later
the flagman was killed while attempting
to uncouple the train from the engine. He
stepped in between the tender and the first
car for this purpose while the train was
running at slow speed. His foot slipped
and he fell lengthwise along the rail. The
wheels passed over almost the entire
length of his right leg, crushing it COM
pletely, over his abdomen, disemboweling
him and then cut off his right leg.
Two cars passed over him before the
train was stopped.
Hays was probably instantly killed by
the first wheel that struck him. He had
been In the employ of the railroad thir-
teen years, four of which were spent in
the roadway and nine In the train service
His home was in Macon, where he leaves

saws it doesn't know the origin of
the story about Japanese officials
sudden interest in Hawaiian doe
uments, but suspects it is a
"scheme of the Honolulu annex
atiOnists to boom their failing
cause" On this point the Chro-
nicle had best guess again. HO-
nolulu anneXatiOnistS are not in
the scheme" and what is more,
their cause" is not failing" The
most interesting feature of the
Chronicles comment is in its lay
ing bare the reasons for the sud
den announcement that anneXa-
ton is on the wane. 1t says: THE
next Congress, like former ones,
will refuse to be scared by shad-
ows, and it will have, in the de
mand for the full protection of
the beet sugar interest, strong
incentive to give the scheme of
annexation it's quietus. Hawaii
may get a prOtectOrate. Indeed
that is quite probable. But the
arguments against annexation
have grown too strong to be over

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-01-06

The H1 Olulu dispatch publish
ed by the san Francisco papers TO
the effect that an anti-anneXat ton
movement had been started, back
ed mp by leading German and
British sugar planters, was, like Il
good majority OF the san Fran
cisco warns. news TO Il great many
people in Hawaii. RumOrs that
such Il scheme has been on foot
have been rife. but none Of the
particulars have matcrialiZcd.
While there are many second
class agitatOrs who hope such Il
combination may be possible, the
signs of the times are steadily
pointing To Il general caving-in of
the planters opposition" all
along the line There has been
no grand rush on the part of the
few sugar planters known to Op-
pose annexation, to sign the an
neXatiOn rolls. but from all parts
of the Islands have come reports
Indicating that these men are
weighing the situation carefully
and are coming to accept the only
logical view. Whether their Opin-
ions are shaped by personal inter
estS or an honest desire to as
sOciate themselves with what is
for the best interests of the cOun-
try, we will not attempt to say.
There is no occasion for seeking
to define mems motives at this
time. and it is not reasonable to
suppose that all our citizens reach
their conclusions by the same eX
act course of reasoning. All bust
ness men. however, can unite on
the proposition that Hawaii has
reached the point where a strong
government that can fearlessly
combat the influences brought TO
bear by jealous, grasping nations
is necessary to it's continued peace
and prosperity. AS Hawaii's i'm
portance in the Pacific becomes
more prominent its ability to say
to this nation ''thOu SHALL" and
to that nation thou shalt not,
must necessarily become more APP
parent. This fact the business
community from the sugar plant
er To the peanut vender recOg-
nizes. hence the steady trend to-
ward the annexation conclusion.
The anti-annexation rally has pro
crossed as far as the San Fran
cisco papers. and there il viii
end.
