A Small Riot.

There was trouble yesterday at
Kahuku plantation. A white luna
had an alteration with Chinese
laborer. The latter got the best of
the argument using heavy piece of
cane. The luna, after work was over
detained the men, and another cir
Gus started, the man raising the war
cry and calling his clan to his help.
A general melee followed and even
tually four "ringleaders" we're ar
rested. Then the whole gang quit
work, and over 70 Chinese were
locked up, it being necessary to use
the Court House as we'll as the Jail
to accommodate the prisoners.
The Japanese laborers were appar-
emily inclined to assist the lunas
against the Chinese, and then nice
row would have occurred.

An Anniversary.

When the clouds opened this
m orning and poured rain down on
the city, it was as compliment to
Mr.. Andrew Brown, the efficient
Superintendent of the Water Works,
who to-day celebrates the fiftieth

rain was very welcome to the man
who controls the Water Works and
no reference shall be made on the
occasion to the fact that he is also
an officer in big liquor corpora
ton. Many happy returns of the
day, Mr.. Brown. May there always
be rain sufficient for the demands of
the water works and the other enter
prise.

RAIL FENCE A SCAFFOLD

Athens, December 6.-(Special.)-A very remarkable accident occurred a few miles from Athens last Monday night. Monday @ prominent planter slaughtered his meat, and among those helping was negro who lived hard by. The ather being cold the farmer decided to let the meat remain on the pole that night, and asked among the hands if they thought it would be safe. All agreed that it would be perfectly safe, so the hogs were left just as they hung.
 In the early morning the farmer went out to see about his prospects for next year bacon and to his surprise found that his largest and best porker was missing from the pole. He summoned his neighbors and a search was instituted for the missing hog.
 A track was taken leading towards the home of the negro who had helped to kill the day previous, and after short search they found the hog. It was standing on one side of the fence on its nose and the negro was standing on the opposite side, caught about the neck by the gambling stick that had been used to swing the hog to the pole. The negro had taken down the hog and slipping the gambling stock back to its place had used 1t to assist him in carrying the hog.
 When he reached the fence he undertook

it was not generally known at first where he was sitting. But luck threw him in a conspicuous place. By chance he took the seat next the one occupied by Mir Roberts, Of Utah. That person was pointed out by the guides in the gallery and after glance at the polygamist the question would arise: Who is that young looking fellow next to him?"
 His face is as open and honest as that of Roberts Is sinister and peculiar. Rob- erts has a fine figure and he had it fault lessly clothed. But his face looks like putty. Those who are familiar with Nor mons say that this putty, sallow appear ance Is characteristic, especially among the women His hair is curly and grayish. He has heavy elebrows and his eyes are sullen in their aspect. He has no nerves. When he walked down the aisle, no one could have told from his manner that he antici- pated any trouble at all While the house and the galleries remained silent he stood like statue during the speech of Taylor, Of Ohio who was the member chosen to make the objection.
 One watching him as he stood solitary and alone in all that throng, with no kind thought in any heart for him, naturally drew mental picture of Ishmael, the first Ishmael, whose hand was turned against every one and against whom every hand was turned.
 As One Accursed
 Only one man spoke to him during the session. He sat apart as one accursed. Either from pity or from a sense of justice, Representative Fleming, of the Tenth Geor- gia district, went to him and said:
 Roberts, I have come to tell you that will vote for you to take your seat, but would vote to expel you. You need not go through this ordeal today, if you prefer to postpone 1t, when there will not be so much interest manifested. It is your right, you know, to present yourself when you choose"
 The words were harsh sounding but the manner, was kind and the polygamst took his hand and said, q thank you, but had better see it through"
 He does not excite interest or sympat thy. Were he different looking there might be more milk of human kindness poured out for him, but he Is repela1it looking. Noth- ing did him as much harm as his statement that the Christ was a polygamist That sticks In the American craw and shocks the sensibilities not only of Christians, but of infdels as well. Even those who advocated the right for him to take his seat did so only from a sense of duty.
 His daughter is with him and Is an aus- tere, repugnant looking woman. She shares her fathers views, and denounces in strong feminine terms the treatment he has received. She is his secretary and can de- fend the Mormon faith as well he She has no apologies to make for her belief, and predicts that the whole country will adopt 1t some day. She believes the treatment of her father will help the cause, just as the blood of the early Christians was the seed of the church.

to climb over and the weight of the hog had pulled him back and the negro's head had slipped between the hind feet of the hog and the gambling stick caught him by the neck and the weight of the hog on one side of the fence had drawn him so close that 1t broke his neck and kept him In a standing position. The negroes in the neighborhood were very much wrought up over the affair, as they thought 1t direct judgment sent upon their wicked neighbor.
