WE'LL FIXED FOR SUICIDE.
A Florida Man in Bonaventurc With
IA Bottle of Laudnnum and n Pack
0re of Arsenic

age of Arsenic.
young man who had come all the way
from Gainesville. Fla, for the purpose
supplied himself with enough stuff to kill
regiment, had written his last farewells
and directions to the coroner as to the
disposition of his body. selected an appro-
PIRATE place In which to commit suicide
and then failed in his resolution, turned
up at Thunderbolt yesterday morning.
The young man is named Lewis. He
was very downhearted when he faced
Mayor Nelson at Thunderbolt. Possibly
if he had not been arrested he would have
carried out his carefully matured plans.
He and companion had been hanging
around the Bonaventure station on the
Coast Line for several hours, and their
actions caused suspicion.
President Johnston of the Coast Line
telcphoned Marshal LEM late Wednesday
night that there were two suspicious
looking characters at the Bonaventure
cemetery gate and that it would be well
to investigate them. Marshal LEM, ac-
companied by Motorman Lang, arrived at
the cemetery gate about midnight, and
found that the men had fixed themselves
up comfortably to spend the night at the
little railway station there. The men
were placed under arrest and taken to
Thunderbolt. When they were searched
Marshal Lentz was surprised to find upon
Lewis a package containing three and
one-half ounces of arsenic and an ounce
bottle of laudanum, the latter labeled
Adams Paint and Drug Company. In
the mans pockets were found two letters.
One was addressed to his mother and step
father in Gainesville, in which he stated
that he had been unable to secure work,
and had concluded to put an end to his
existence. The other letter was addressed
to the coroner, and requested that his
body be shipped to Gainesville.
The two men were before Mayor Nelson
yesterday morning on the charge of va
grancy. q Lewis told a story of hardship
and misfortune which aroused the SYM
pathy of the mayor who encouraged him
to give up his idea of suicide and give the
world another trial, which the young man
promised TO do. Mr.. Nelson told him he
would aid him in securing work. The
mayors sympathy was aroused TO the ex-
tent that he did not care for the newspa-
pers to publish the story and endeavored
to make light of It.
Lewis companion gave his name as
Frank Williams. He said that he was
from Atlanta and that he only met Lewis
at the Bonaventure station Wednesday
night. Lewis looked downhearted he said,
but he had no idea that he contemplated
suicide. The cases against both men were
dismissed.
1t is against the law to sell arsenic ex-
cept upon physicians prescription. The
package of arsenic bore no label and he
has not told where he purchased it, so
far as known. The package has been
placed in the hands of Solicitor General
Osborne, however, who viii have the mat
ter investigated.

colored woman, walked into the police
barracks about 10 o'clock last night lead.
ing little 5-year-old girl, whom she said
was her grandchild. With the exception
of cloak, which enveloped her body, the
child was entirely naked. Her arms were
tightly tied with piece of cloth, which
was removed after reaching the barracks.
The grandmother said that her daughter
in-law, Mary Hallen, lived near her on
ST. Johns street, in the southeastern sec
tion Of the city. Hearing her beating the
child for long time she went across to
her daughter-in-law' house and found
the mother beating the little one, who
was entirely naked with q leather strap,
the child's hands being tied as when she
was brought to the barracks.
As the mother announced her intention
of continuing to beat the child to her sat-
isfaction, the grandmother took possession
OF her granddaughter and carried her to
the barracks. AT her request the police
man on duty in that neighborhood was in
structed to arrest the mother.

bodies was particularly indicative OF this.
When Matthews reached the hospital, DR..
Dudley, stated, the pupils OF his eyes were
very much dilated, evidently the effects
Of belladonna which DIR. Dudley supposed
to have been administered to the patient
at the barracks.
Dr. LeHardy said that he was unable to
decide what 1t was that had such seri-
Gus effect on the two men without chem
ical analysis of the food which was ex-
PEELED from their stomachs, as well as
the fragments of that which had not
been eaten. The city having no cherist

done.

A Military Archbishop

In 1S47 a Lieutenant Maclagan
joined the Madras division OF the
Italian army, aud in 1852, after APP
plying himself diligently to the du-
ties OF his profession, studying Ian
guageg, and eventually becoming
interpreter of his regiment, retired.
This Lieutenant Maclagan and the
present Arch bishop OF York are one
and the same person, aud besides
his pension he draws a salary Of
$4,000 year. Surely an Archbishop
drawing a military pension is unique
in the annals OF the church.

LIKELIKE WRECKED.
The Old Flagship Finds Her Grave
at Honoipo, Hawaii

"Poor old Likelike,' said the ka-
maainas yesterday when they learn
ed about the disaster to the boat
which laid the foundation of the
Wilders.
1t is surprise to seamen as well
as the old travellers among the
islands, that the Likelike should be
destroyed at the entrance to one OF
the finest harbors Of the group.
The fact remains however that on
the morning Of Saturday, the 24th
inst, the Likelike sailed towards
Honoipo and was landed "high and
dry" on the coral reef where she is
now breaking to pieces.
The steamer left Honolulu on
Thursday the 22nd in command OF
Captain Sachs. At Olowalu she
took a shipment of sugar and then
proceeded to Hawaii, steaming
straight Tor Honolpo.
What course the Captain took is
not yet given to the public, pending
an investigation of the Steamship
and tho Insurance Companies.
The old steamer however struck
the rocks off Honoipo aud became
a total loss. Part OF her cargo
was rescued by the Kilausa Hou and
the Iwalani which was called to
her assistance by President Wight
who fortunately was at Mahukoua
at the time Of the disaster.
A great portion of the up,freight
was lost as we'll as the sugar. The
Iwalani brought the crew of the
Likelike to this port yesterday.
The Likelike was built in San
Francisco in 1877, and has been
sailing, in Hawaiian waters since
then.
Captain Freeman, one OF the most
experienced seamen on this beach,
was master OF the vessel until last
week, when trouble occurred on
board the Helene, resulting in the
transfer OF Freeman to that vessel.
His first mate, Mr.. Sachs was
promoted to Captain Of the Likelike
and had command Of her on this her
last trip.

AN INVESTIGATION NEEDED

The following paragraph appears
in the issue Of the Hawaii Herald of
the 22od lust:
At certain social affair that came
off last week not far from Hilo, the
HERALD is informed that the 6rst
toast proposed was "President Dole"
whereat a certain Government en-
ployee remarked that no friend OF
his would respond to that toast, aud
all present apparently desired to
put themselves on record AS being
his friends, as not one did respond,
and all refused to look upon the
wine as it moved itself uuder the
circumstances. A toast to The
Government" is said to have met
with the like chilling silence for a
like reason -As the guests at this
point were suffering an intolerable
thirst, the abov, mentioned official
proposed "The Princess Kaiulani;
Our Future Queen" which was
drunk bottoms up in okolehao from
one OF the numerous stills that have
escaped the eagle eye Of the police.
Probably the Government cares
nothing for tho political sentiments
of its officials aud employees, and
the one here mentioned shall remain
nameless unless he chooses to name
himself.

The harshness with which the Ha-
waiian crew Of the steamer Helene
was treated by the management Of
the company, because the boys re-
fused to go to sea with a captain
against whom they have or believe
to have grievances, was generally
condemned among people familiar
with the Hawaiians who work on
the wharves and ships. If the Ha-
waiian seamen and stevedores form.

higher wages, do the steamship men
and wharf-bosses believe that they
could fill the places OF the cheap
Hawaiian with Asiatics? The He
lene "racket" has now cost the

hunas. We believe in retribution,
and the owners OF the Likelike will
probably believe in dividends.
