Dead in His Room.

The dead body of Martin Meyers, OF
New Baltimore, York County, Pa, was
found in an upper room of the st. Charles
Hotel. 1884, Pennsylvania Avenue north
west, about noon yesterday. He had been
asphyxiated Whether death was due to
accident or was premeditated Il is not
possible to determine, there being evil
dence to support one theory as well as
the other.
The room had been carefully closed the
shades to the window drawn and cracks
in the door filed with paper. On the 9TH
er hand, all of his letters, several of
which had apparently been written but
a few hours before he entered the hotel
and had not been mailed were in cheer
ful vein and made no reference to contem-
plated self-destruction. The body was re-
moved to the morgue, where 1t Will re-
main Gatil word is received from the rela-
tives of the deceased.

age. lie reached this city from Rich

o clock and was taken direct to the hotel

Meyers, Richmond. Va. and was shown
to a front room on the top floor His
baggage consisted of a telescope valise.
He is said to have retired at once.
Shortly before noon yesterday the oc
cupant of an adjoining room detected the
odor of gas and traced II to the room
occupied by Meyers. A maid attempted to
open the door with pass key, but it was
locked on the inside.
William Kaleski, the proprietor of the
hotel, was called and forced the door The
police were notified and Detective VIE
liams and policeman Whalen took charge
of the remains. Among his effects We're

Assault.

Canton, Ca. Aug. 27.-Raymond Ross.
the negro who was convicted of Grim
inal assault upon Mrs. Harriet Miller,
a respectable white woman living near
here, was hanged to-day at 11:22. A
home guard of forty men, armed with
rifles, met Ross when Sheriff Bedell
brought him here from Atlanta, and
there was no disorder whatever.
DR.. Turk and the other physicians
declared his neck was broken, about
sixteen minutes after the fall, and the
negro's body was cut down and shipped
to the Atlanta Medical College. None
of his fathers family was present to
claim the body for interment.
A crowd of 1000 people, perhaps, wit
messed the hanging, as from the rain
storm of last night or from some other
cause, the frame erected as a blind,
had fallen. There was perfect good or
der and no demonstration at all.

NATIVES KILL
A JAPANESE

Further particulars concerning the
murder of Yoshita, Japanese employ
ed on the Naalehu plantation in Kau,
have been received. The dead mans
body was found under fiume near the
mill the morning after the murder was
done Three natives have been arrest
ed One man, it is believed, committed
the deed the other two We're accesso-
ries TO the fact.
The murdered man, Yoshita, was en-
ployed by Henry Martin, the road
builder of the Naalehu plantation. On
Monday, July l, he was sent to the Of
fee of the sugar company to draw some
money, and the natives, learning of the
fact, lay in wait for him and assaulted
him upon his return. 1t was after the
set of sun when the Japanese started
for Mr.. Martins place Near the mill
he was attacked by the three men,
Sam Kaluna, 'Lepeka and Pilipo. 1t is
thought that he was choked and beaten
to death, judging from the condition of
the body
Kaluna is supposed to be the man
who committed the foul crime. The
other two are implicated to a greater
or lesser extent, but how much is not
known.
The letter below has been received
by Henry Smith, clerk of the courts:
Henry Smith, Esq, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: A very horrible murder
has been committed at Naalehu on the
night of the 1st by which one Yochida
a male Japanese, lost his life. The per-
sons who committed the murder are
now lodged in jail. They are all Ha-
waiians, two men and two women. The
affair arose through gambling anC
drunkenness. j. H. WAIPUILANI.
