The leak gradually increased off the Ca))« of Good Hope after a severe westerly gals with a mountainous sea. The watei gained rapidly and the course of the ves¬ sel was turned toward fit.

As long as possible the vessel was kept iu this great current of water and then her course was shaped toward the Capes. On arriving off the coast the leak again increased, and when found by the tug Hercules off the Capes -if Delaware, the ship was leaking at tho rate of twenty-four inches per hour. To the drift seaweed alone do the owners owe the salvation of one of the finest ves¬ sels iu the world’s merchant marine, and one of the most valuable cargoes a sailing vessel has ever brought to America.

NUMBER 21 THE HANGING OF HAWES. THE NOTED MURDERER PAYS THE PENALTY OF HIS CRIME. Dick Hawes tested the strength of a five-eights sea wired rope at Birmingham, ing Ala..Friday at 12 :3d o’clock. The hang¬ was the most sensational and interest¬ ing ever known in Alnbama, and will make one of the most thrilling chapters iu the criminal history of the state. By nine o’clock a crowd of a thousand peo¬ ple had congregated about the jail, and an army of policemen was on duty to keep them at a safe distance. line Nc one was allowed to pass that of officers except those who had passes. By 12 the crowd numbered near G.000. At 11 o’clock. Deputy I.ockhart en¬ tered the jail and iaterrupted the deviv tional exercises long enough to read the death warrant. When the deputy in formed Hawes of the object of his mis¬ sion, he -said: "Stand up. Dick.” Hawes him, arose, and placing his hands behind looked the Viflicer in the face. Then Lockhart read the death warrant, llawes heard it through without a tremor or without moving a muscle. At a quarter after twelve Ed Gritfin went upon the scaffold, and adjusted the rope to iron the beam. It was made tight by an staple. Griffin is the man who built the scaffold. Gritfin was a member of flu jury tluit convicted Hawes. Griffin is now one of Sheriff Smith’s deputies, and helped to hang the man, whom he, as a juror, said scaffold, should accompanied die. Hawes went upon the by the sheriff, a deputy, and the two ministers. He walked with a firm step, There was less trepidation about him than about any of the one hundred men in the in¬ clusive, and it was apparent to all. Hi nerve was remarkable, and those who#uw him could not keep from admiring it. THE PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS. As he stepped to the front of the gal¬ lows, he moved his head to one side tc avoid the rope. Then as lie stood at the front of the gallows, Sheriff Smith, standing beside him, said: “Dick, have you anything to say?” Hawes raised his right hand to his mouth, and gave his momtache a twist. There was not a trem¬ or in the movement. Never in hi* life did lie twist that beard with a quieter nerve. Then looking over the crowd cnmly he said: “I only want to say to the congregation tlmt 1 have written out a full statement of tliis -whole thing, and it is a true one. I don’t Want any man in the world to think that died with a lie on my lips. That is all I have to say.’ Hawes walked to the front of the scaf¬ fold, and Sheriff Smith adjusted the nope. The prisoner was calm. There was no ex citement about him. As tile sheriff raised the cap, Hawes said: “I want you all to shun wlifsky and vile women. I wish I had.” The cap was adjusted, and Hawes’s vision of those before him was shut out forever. Just as the sheriff was stepping buck to give the signal string, to. the man in the basement to pull the stand Hawes culled out: “Joe, let me here a minute please.” His voice was still ami steady, but it was muffled by the black cap. The sheriff waited a minute anil then began. “One—two tliree.” As the word three was uttered the string pulled, the trap droppe 1 and Hawes’s body went up an inch or two,and then settled again at the end of the rope. It was 12:38 when the drop fell, and iu fourteen minutes the doctors said he was dead. The body was turned over to Mr. Frank Hilbnrn, of Atlanta, and taken home for burial. THE WRITTEN STXTF.MKT. The written statement Hawes has made is supposed to be in tho hands of the printers. It was written by Hawes, and was given to Col. Taliaferro, his attor¬ ney, by whom it was, on Fri¬ day. surrendered by Hawes’s directions, to some one to be printed in book form. his The proceeds of the sales are to go to boy. It consists of forty pages of his life and sixteen pages of the crime. Colonel Taliaferro has read it, and says that it is the same story lie told on the i^tand on February 18tli last, the only dif¬ ference being iu reference to May. Of her he says be brought her to town ami turned her over to the party named in the statement, and that that party carried her to the lake and put her out of the way. Tho statement asserts that all were put to death by drowning. A FATED DAY. Saturday, the last day of the week, lias figured conspicuously in the life of Dick Hawes. He was born on Saturday, w as married to Emma Pettis on Saturday* He discovered evidence of his wife’s in¬ fidelity on Saturday, murdered Their Mrs. Hawes and Irene on Saturday. Saturday. bodies were found on The jail riot occured oil Saturday. He was sentenced to be hanged on Saturday.

DOWNED BY THE ALLIANCE SMALL DEALERS FORCED TO THE WALL B1 CO-OPERATIVE STORES. A dispatch of Thursday from St. Jo¬ seph. Mo.,-says: During the last week there lias been an unusually large numbei of failures of small grocery firms and gen¬ eral dealers in Kansas; in fact the fail¬ ures have been so numerous as to at¬ tract the attention of the jobbing trade, and an examinatioR has been made into the cause of the seeming epidemic of failures, The work waa placed iu the hands of a mercantile agen¬ cy, and it was found that the Farmers - Alliance was at the bottom of the trouble. The alliance has adopted the co-operative together store plan, and their trade, with that of such outside custom as they can influence, is thrown to the al¬ liance stores. The result of the estab¬ lishment of the alliance stores has been painfully felt by the regular retail traders. As a consequence many small dealers have been forced to the wall and com polled to make assignments. astor s will. THE DEAD MILLIONAIRE MADE LIBEBAJ CHARITABLE BEQUESTS.
