The Murder of Herbert Haynes. Herbert
Haynes, policeman in the service of
the town of Clayton, was mortally
wounded by bullet from the pistol
of a colored man whom he was trying
to arrest shortly after % o'clock Thurs
day morning. The incident which has
created much excitement, shows that
the army of tramps who are pouring
into the State by clinging to all the
freight trains that run in the night, are
trying to prevent being imprisoned
and to escape the wholesale arrests
that are being made by the Delaware
Railroad Company. Haynes was called
into service by the railroad people at
12 O'Clock, word having been sent that
the south-bound freight was infested
with tramps. He with other officers
from the railroad service, surrounded
the box car in which they saw two
negro tramps and the trespassers at
once set up sturdy resistance. The
officers ordered the men out and while
Haynes was graphing with his pris-
oner, the fellow wrested his revolver
from him, reached out pushed it
against the stomach of the officer and
fired a bullet. The prisoner darted
away out of sight at breakneck speed.
Haynes was assisted to the station
platform, distance of several hundred
feet. Drs. Cobb, Ickes and t. G.
Moore were called to render medical
aid and the railroad men soon flocked
to Haynes assistance, but the wound
was seen to be dangerous, and he was
made as comfortable as possible and
removed to his home. He never ral-
lied from the injury and died at 6. 80
o'clock Friday morning. He leaves
wife and four daughters. There is
profound sympathy expressed for the
family of the deceased. He was hard
working, industrious man and gen.
orally liked by all who knew him.
The funeral took place from Ewell
M. P. Church Sunday before large
gathering of friends and relates. The
Rev. j. E. Nicholson officiated. The
deceased was fifty-three years of age.
Pilgrim Castle, No. Z, X. G. E., of
which lodge Mr.. Haines was member
attended the funeral in body.

Tramps Defy the Law.-After the muir
der of Policeman Haynes of Clayton,
by desperate colored tramp in a gang
which combined force of officers was
raiding, the tramps seemed to become
cognizant of the shooting and crowded
the freight trains coming down the
Delaware Railroad at night. Early
Saturday morning they had become so
bold that they sat in the doors of the
box cars, placidly smoking pipes and
cursing and defying the officers. 1t Is
said that some of the railroad consta-
bles became too timid after Haynes
awful suffering and death, to enter the
cars where the men were fortified, and
yet this seemed to be the only means
of getting them out and in the clutches
of the law. Consequently Warden
Lien" Harrington, of the Kent county
prison, man said to be absolutely
fearless, was detailed by Sheriff Whar-
ton to go to Clayton at o'clock that
morning, and he jumped in the first
car that came along, falling over the
''hoboes" packed around the door.
Harrington pitched the men right and
left until all fourteen of the occupants
of the car were arrested. Among the
named gang captured and taken to Jail
for ten days each was found "Whisk-
ers" Mullen, who is one of the trio who
sawed their way out of New Castle Jail
on Monday. 1t is understood that
Warden Harrington will get $25 for
his capture.

PROTEST FILED.

DR.. Augur and other property own
ers in the neighborhood of his Office on
Beretania street nearly opposite the
Methodist church have filed a request
for the condemnation and destruction
Of a building lately used a Chinese
store, but now used for the storage of
goods from the infected district. The
building stands between DR.. Augur's
office and a Chinese laundry and with
in about four inches of the fence erect
ed by DR.. Augur on the side of his pre-
misses The building with it's additions
extends about forty feet back. 1t was
built on a permit issued in the usual
way, though at the time the permit was
granted it was known to Superintend-
ent Rowell that the land was claim
ed by the government.
Dr. Augur argues in his protest that
the building being so close to the fence
it will be impossible to keep that space
in a sanitary condition. The goods 1t
contains though they have been fumi-
gated, must under the present policy
of the Board be considered as still sus-
picious.
If they are and are to be destroyed,
DR.. Argur argues that the building it
self which contains them must be con-
sdered infected and ought to be des-
troyed.

A GREAT BATTLE COMING ON THE
TUGELA
General Lord Methuen Insane and
About to be Recalled-Stretcher
Bearers to the Front

A great battle still impending on the
Tugela rivera battle that may last a
week and extend over miles of contend
ing armies-is still the Transvaal sit
uation as described by the latest dis
patches from the mainland, received
yesterday via the transport Tartar. All
Great Britain waits with the keenest
suspense for news from Butler. His
success now means the relief of Lady
smith, the overwhelming of an immense
Boer army and may even bring in sight
the beginning of the end of the Boer
Republic. Defeat for Butler means the
complete success of the Boer campaign,
the fall of Ladysmith and will place in
great danger all the relieving forces
that British generals are leading to the
succor of beseiged garrisons. If Butler
is defeated i'm a second great effort he
cannot try a third. Retreat will become
the rule for the Britions, it is said by
military men, and a second campaign
this time with the Beers occupying the
towns they are now bombarding, will be
the terrible task before Generals Rob-
erts and Kitchener.
The news that a thousand Indian
stretcher bearers have been ordered to
the front indicates the expectation of
deadly work ahead. A CLEAN of nope for
The Brtich lies in the result of the last
great attack upon General Whites
forces at Ladysmith. 1t is reported that
the Boer forces were greatly weakened
in the long battle and if this is true,
Buffers task has been a little reduced
British strategists hope that White will
be able to give Butler some help when
the latter begins his efforts to advance
upon Ladysmith.
The list of casualties at Ladysmith in
the last engagement has not yet been
given out. Whites losses were I'M
doubtedly very heavy in the seventeen
hours fighting. London rumOrs say that
the War Office has the list but is afraid
to publish it.
A dispatch from the front telling of
the insanity of Lord Methuen and that
he is about to be recalled is another
item of news from the seat of war. Me-
thuen has apparently given way under
the strain of his situation. His army
holds it's position.
General Lord Roberts has arrived at
the Cape and already it is reported that
he is considering important changes in
the division commanders at the front.
The fears of general war do not de-
crease IS the strife in South Afrira goes
on and the seriousness of Great Brit
aims plight is made more evident. Brit
ish failure in the Transvaal is held by
some diplOmatists to be more dangerous
to the peace of the world than British
success. Smarting under the humilia-
ton of defeat, the British nation might
be more touchy in international affairs
than in the days before her status as
a world power was unquestioned. Any
efforts of the other powers to take ad-
vantage of the empires loss Of prestige
might be met with an irresistible public
demand, which no ministry could resist,
that Britions fight their way back to
leadership among the nations.

FEARED H had PLAGUE
SICK NATIVE BECOMES
SUDDENLY INSANE.
Jumps Into the Water From the
Steamer Mikahala-Will Probably
Die of Pneumonia.

Fear of the plague is supposed to
have driven native insane last night
on the steamer Mikahala, which is an
chored in the stream. He had been
sick for several days and under treat
ment on board the vessel, as there were
no symptoms suggesting plague in his
case. Last night at about six o'clock he
suddenly appeared on deck in a state
of wild excitement and began threaten
ing everybody on board. 1t was Just
after the visit of the doctor, who found
a slight Improvement in the mans con-
dition.
After creating a lot of excitement on
the deck the native, whose name is Ma
kapui, suddenly jumped overheard and
began to swim away from the vessel. A
boat was lowered and started after
him, but he swan from it as rapidly as
he could. After a chase he was caught
and hauled into the boat and taken on
board the Mikahala again. He soon
broke out again and began to throw his
clothes into the water. Nakapui was
placed under restraint and sent ashore
to the hospital where he will probably
die.
The native was suffering with
pleurisy and had been under treatment
three or four days. AS soon as he was
taken i'll the Board of Health was noti-
fled and DR. Garvin visited him. There
was nothing suspicious about the case,
so the man was not removed. The ma
tive as well as others on board, feared
that it was case of plague. AS a re-
suit of his leap into the water, he de-
veloped pneumonia at the hospital.
Quite a number of minor cases of
sickness are reported about town, which
are said by the doctors to be directly
due to worry and fear caused by the
plague. The victims az ladies, who re-
main at home and worry themselves
into condition of nervousness that
calls for medical attendance. The
plain figures showing the smallness of
the actual danger should prevent this,
say the physicians.

SERVICES GIVEN FREELY.BULLER'S FEARFUL TASK
BUSINESS HOUSES RESPOND TO
CALL.
Volunteer Workers From Banks, Gov
eminent Buildings and Stores-Work
Carried on on Reduced Scale.

The response to the call for volunteer
inspectors and for other service in con-
nection with the effort to stay the
plague has been very general. Bust
ness houses have as a rule and almost
invariably been generous in giving the
time and services OF their employees for
this work, There is scarcely store OF
business house in town that is not re-
presented in the corps of volunteer in
spectors or i'm some kind of guard or
protective duty.
Without attempting to give anything
like a complete or exhaustive list, 1t
may be mentioned that eleven en-
plOyes of the Pacific Hardware COM
pany are devoting a part or all of their
time to this volunteer work. The COM
pany has been represented in it by two
or more from the very first. Two weeks
ago, Mr.. Pinkham, at the request of
Mr.. Thurston agreed to take charge Of
the Kakaako detention camp whenever
his services were needed.
The Bank of Hawaii has constantly
had part Of it's force in this work the
men alternating in it so that practically
the whole force has served in this work
Bishop & Co. have constantly had
part of their clerical force in this work
and the same is true of Claus Spreckels
& Co, and of the First American
Rank
Z. Brewer e Co.. have given the SER
vices IF their employees freely. Con
Salves & Co. have done the same. Pea
cock q Co. have done likewise, and so
has nearly every other firm that could
be mentioned.
On the waterfront the representative as
of most of the big shipping firms give
some of their time every day to the
work of the Citizens Sanitary Commit
tee or of the Board of Health The
custom house is largely represented in
the labor Port Surveyor Stratemeyel
having taken charge of the water front
census and the other heads of depart
gnents giving time every day to the
making of reports upon laborers in
different districts.
Both Wilder's Company and the In
ter-Island Company allow several en-
ployes time every day to complete
rounds for the Citizens committee.
lHaclfeld e. Company have six men
at work all the time. Three are on duty
as guards outside the city. The men in
the office take turns at this work
squads of three each taking a week off
in turn. Three other employees of the
house are inspectors. Mr.. Taylor Of
w. c., Irwin & Company is in charge Of
one block and half a dozen men of
Davies & Company are helpers of the
Citizens committee or the Board of
Health. me list OF names of the forty
chief inspectors is made up of men
whose whole time is ordinarily given to
business, and they now have no time
for anything but the public work. The
same is true of almost the entire num-
her of sub-inspectOrs, who are going
twice a day over every block in the
forty districts into which the city was
divided.
