Annual Meeting Of Hickory
Street Congregation.

Alderman Lentes had a rush of bus
ness yesterday. The first case was one
of aggravated assault and battery, the
charge being preferred by John j. My
ers. against Mrs. Bridget Fallon. Ac
cording to the prosecutors statement,
Mrs. Fallon, who resides at 1884 Stone
avenue, was bringing, beer into the
house when Myers, who lives in the
adjoining residence, objected In the
miX-up that followed Myers was struck
on the head with beer glass, which,
at the time was in the fist of Mrs. Fal-
Ion. The evidence was sufficient in the
case and the defendant was held for
court in the sum of $500.
A counter suit at once followed the
hearing, when Mrs. Fallon swore to in
formation against Myers for assault
and threats. She showed by witnesses
that Myers welded a large butcher
knife during the melee, and also exhib-
tied several wounds to the court,
which, she alleged, were caused by The
weapon in the hands of the defendant.
Myers was also held for court in $500
bail.
Mrs. Allen Carey was arraigned on Il
charge of selling liquor without Ii
'SliSt anu SelIliS W llllHOTS. Ue ut-
fendant lives II few doors from the
Myers and Fallons, and the charges,
in a way, We're an outgrowth of the
aforementioned troubles. The informa
tion was sworn to by j. j. Myers, and
as the evidence was satisfactory the
magistrate held her for court in the
sum OF $700.
Mary Lally, of 1909 South Webster
avenue, was also charged with un-
lawfully selling intoXicants. Satisfac-
tory proof in the case was produced,
and $500 bail was demanded for her ap-
pearance at the next quarter sessions.
Otto Zohe and his wife, Rosie, We're
charged by Louise Zohe, mother OF
the male defendant, with threatening
to kill. The parties live at 412 Mon
roe avenue, and the plaintiff alleged
that, for some time past, her son and
daughter-inlaw had made her life mis-
cradle. and with clenched fists had
threatened to kill her before long. Az
ter hearing both sides the magistrate
held zohe and his wife for court in
5000 bail each.

A Brave Young Hero.

Master Ralph Williams, of 207 South
Hyde Park avenue, a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. William c. Williams, proved
himself a hero recently by rescuing his
companion from drowning. The lat
ter was Robert, the 1O-year-old son of
Mrs. Daniel /. Phillips, of South Hyde
Parke avenue.
The boys had gone down to the river
bank below the gas house, and were
throwing stones into the water. when
suddenly the earth under young Phil
lips feet gave way and he fell into the
river.
Young Williams stationed himself on
stone and when the Phillips boy
came up the first time, Ralph grabbed
him. Owing to his own perilous posi-
tion, Williams could not pull Phillips
out of the water.
Several other boys grasped hands
and formed human chain, and in that
way Williams and Phillips We're drawn
to a point of safety.

Liliuokalani, the ex-Queen, lives in
retirement in Honolulu. She has a
beautiful home on Beretania avenue
Just opposite the Central Union
Church, where gather for Sunday wor
ship the missionaries, once her friends
now her bitter opponents. The Queen
twice changed her religion, and is at
present, believe, an Episcopalian.
she is an educated lady of refined
manners, and speaks English with
elegance. Some mutual friends ar
ranged an audience for us, and for the
better part Of an hour we conyersei
with the Queen on current topics, and
found her well posted on public mat
tiers and persons in the United States.
We brought with us and presented
to Her Majesty the following stanzas
adapted from Thomas Moore, as appli.
cable to her sad condition:
Weep on-Weep on"
Weep on, weep on, your hour is past;
Your dreams of pride are DER;
The fatal chain is round you cast
And you are Queen no more,
In vain the hero's heart hath fed,
The sage's tongue hath warned in
vain
o Freedom once thy flame hath fled
1t never lights again!
Weep on-perhaps in after days,
They'll learn to love your name;
When many deed may wake in praise
That long hath slept in blame.
And when they tread tAe ruined aisle
Where rest at length the lord and
slave,
They'll wondering ask how hands SO
vile
Could conquer hearts SO brave.
