The influenza has broken out four
times in England during the present cen
tury, the last being in 1847, when 250,-
000 persons living in London were at
tacked and 1739 deaths were attributed
to its presence during six months. It is
further recorded that in the six weeks of
Sts greatest violence no fewer than 5000
deaths occurred in excess of the ordinary
mortality, other complaints being aggra
vated by the depression incidental to the
disease.

i That the influenza now epidemic in
Europe and parts of this country is com
paratively harmless in itself is well es
tablished. Yet the reports of many
deaths of invalids or aged persons who
had contracted the malady show very
clearly that such classes of people cannot
afford to disregard its early symptoms.
Their feeble frames and low vitality may
not be able to resist the assault of a puny
enemy. Nothing short of a physician's
care, therefore, should satisfy them if at
tacked by the disease. Persons in robust
health can ignore the approach of the un
pleasant epidemic if they like, but thoso
to whom existence at best is a struggle
cannot take too great care of themselves
at this time. When the candle is already
flickering it frequently takes only another
capful of wind to blow it out.
As was to have been expected, by
far the greater portion of the time of
the maritime conference was given up to
devising precautions against collisions at
sea. Their deliberations on this matter,
observes the Commercial Advertiser , arc
not only timely, but were imperatively
demanded by the exigencies of the sit
uation. The oceans arc no longer the
solitary wastes that they once were, but
have become—notably the Atlantic—fer
ry-tracks swarming with craft. And to
such perfection has the building of ships
been carried that it may almost be said
that in mid-ocean at least, mau is able
to defy nature. It is man aloue that we
liave to fear—mau moving in an oppo
site direction from ourselves. The new
regulations devised by the conference
are not only fuller, but more intelligi
ble and definite than those they super
sede, and will no doubt render less fre
quent disasters from the now most
dreaded source of disaster at sea—col
lisions.
The figures given of the industrial
progress of the South for the past year
shows that the section is making rapid
strides toward prosperity. There were
5135 new manufacturing and mining

HAWEB CONFEBSEB
THAT JOHN WTLT KILLED MRS. HAWES AND
TIIE CHILDREN.
Dispatches from Birmingham, Ala., says
Dick Hawes has made a confession—a
full, free and frank, clean breast of the
horrible triple murder for which he is to
hang on the 28tli. Hawes says that John
Wiley, of Atlanta, Ga., killed Mrs. Hawes,
May nnd Irene. The, confession was made
Friday night between six and seven
o’clock to Mr. James Hawes and
Sheriff Smith, and the the story related
to them was a thrilling Rndjexcitiug one.
THE CONFESSION.
The following is the substunce of
Hawes’ confession: “Well, I had been
engaged to that lady in Columbus, and
there never was a sweeter woman. Em
ma (his wife) had promised me to go to
her people in Colorado, and I had given
her the money. I was to put the two
girls in the convent at Mobile. Well,
Thursday before I was married, Emma
was to give me the ehildren and go. On
that day I went to the house, and she not
only refused to go, but refused to give me
the children. I was to be married to a
woman I loved the next Tuesday, and
there was my wife. What was I to do?
I was desperate. That day 1 met John
Wyly, and, knowing him well, told him
my trouble. I was in deep trouble, and
he said lie could get them all out of the way.
Then I agreed to give him two hundred
dollars to do it, and we parted. On Sat
urday night I went to the house again
and tried to beg Fmtna to go away, but
she refused to go. She and May and
Irene were all in bed undressed, and 1
went away. On Monday I met John Wy
lie near the clothing store, and he said :
‘Dick, they’ll never bother you again.'
He started to tell me all about it, and 1
told him not to do it. That night I went
around by the home and it was all dark.
Then 1 went to Fanny Bryant’s home, and
that was dark, too. Then I got on the
train :uid went to Columbus and got
married, and., that’s all I know.
Immediately upon Hawes’ confession, tel
egrams were sent to Atlanta, asking
Wyly’s arrest. He was found nnd taken
into custody. Upon being questioned
he said that he knew nothing of the mat
ter, itnd could prove that he had no con
nection with it whatever. He was car
ried to Birmingham Saturday.
A DENIAL.
When the train bearing Wyly reached
Birmingham, there was a big crowd at
the depot. He was hurried immediately
to the jail When asked if he wanted to
see Ilawes, he said: “Yes I do, and 1
want to see him quick.” Wheu the two
men were brought face to face, and to
Wyly’s question demanding to know
what Hawes meant by saying that he
(Wyly) committed the crime, Hawes em
phatically denied that he ever said it.
Then the two men began quarreling, and
the quarrel wns ended only when the sher
iff led Wvlv p.wav and locked him un
The general impression is that Hawes has
told the story simply to prolong his life.
FARMERS NOTIFIED
TO SEND IN THE til ORDERS FOR COTTON
BAGGING FOR THE SEASON OK 1890.
The following request to the farmers oi
Georgia has been sent out by Hon. W. J.
Northen, chairman of the committee or
on cotton bagging: -“At the session ol
the Georgia State Alliance, held at Macon
last August, the committee on cotton
bagging was continued, with instructions
to provide a sufficient supply of cotton
bagging for the crop of the coming sea
son. As soon thereafter, as an expres
sion could be received from the different
Alliances throughout the state, endorsing
this action, the committee was called to
gether for the purpose of ninking suitable
arrangements for the manufacture of
standard cotton bagging. Since that
time, the national convention at St.
Louis adopted cotton bagging as the cov
ering for the next crop and urged its gen
eral use by the members of the National
Alliance. lam now prepared to report
that manufacturers in this state, who un
dertook the supply of cotton bagging the
past season will supply farmers with
standard cotton bagging to be 44 inches
wide and to weigh no less than 12 ounces.
The manufacture will not be commenced
until the mills have received sufficient
orders to justify the necessary changes of
machinery. Orders will not be accepted
unless accomplished by a sufficient
and satisfactory guarantee for pay
ment, either in cash or negotiable paper.
Orders may be addresie i to West Point
Mills at West Point, Ga., Crown Mills a*
Dalton, Ga., or Sibley Mills at Augusta,
Ga. The Sibley Mills will supply the
necessary amount of bagging for loug
staple cotton. lam advised that the Co
operative Manufacturing company, of De-
Kalb county, Ga,, John E. Maguire, gen
eral manager, will fill orders for cotton
bagging made at the mills of the com
pany on Yellow river. Prices will be
named ns orders aH> received. The offi
cers of each county Alliance are requested
to make these facts kuown at once to thf
members of their organizations uud urge
prompt and proper action. Delay on tht
part of farmers gave much trouble and
made much confusion during the last sea
son. All this can be avoided by immedi
ate action as herein advised.”
LAID TO REBT.
THE REMAINS OF MRS. AND MISS TRACT
CONSIGNED TO THE TOMB.
The pretty historic east room of the
executive mansion, the scene of so many
varied spectacles of brilliant ceremony or
social gayety, was on Wednesday devoted
to the sadly contrasted and solemnly im
pressive purpose of the funeral. The
services over the remains of the wife and
daughter of the secretary of the navy
were appointed for 11 o’clock, but lon®
before the hour the east room was crowded
with people desirous of paying the last
tribute to their departed friends. It was
a most distinguished gathering, and in
cluded marly everybody of prominence
in Washington. After the services, which
were very impressive, the bodies were re
moved to the hearses and the funeral pro
cession was formed, the cortege moving
slowly to Rock Creek cemetery, where the
bodies were placed in the receiving vault
to await Secretary Tracy’s determination
in regard to their permanent resting place.
Secretary Tracy did not go to the ceme
tery, os it was feared the task might prove
too much for his strength.

Three men were in the cab, Engineer
William Neville, Fireman O’Brien and
Head Brakeman B. M. Lewis, of the Ur
bane. The fireman and brakeman were
buried under the engine in eight feet of

A MINE HORROR.
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MINERS KILLED
IN A COLLIERY EXPLOSION.
News comes from London that an ex
plosion occurred Thursday in a colliery
at Abershean, Monmouthshire, ten miles
northwest of Newport. Three hundred
miners were imprisoned, and for several
hours no communication could be
had with them. An opening was finally
effected, and 200 of them had been
rescued. A number of those taken out
are severely injured. The cause of the
explosion was the flooding of pits adja
cent to that in which the explosion oc
curred. By the flooding of those pits
gas was dislodged and forced into the pit
w'here work w'as in progress, and there it
was ignited and exploded. There must
have been a, great quantity of gas, as the
explosion had tremendous force and was
heard at a distance of a mile. All gear
ing in the shaft was thrown into the air,
as if from the mouth of a volcano,
and simultaneously a vast bright volume
of flame shot upward, followed by a dense,
heavy column of smoke. Upon the first
appearance of diminution in the volume
of smoke, rescuers went down the main
shaft and reached the scene of the catas
trophe. They rescued a large number of
miners yet alive, but all very badly
burned, and they brought out sixty dead
bodies, nearly all so mutilated that recog
nition of their identity is impossible. The
latest estimate of dead is 150.
CIVIL RIGHTS IN MISSOURI.
A JUDGE’S DECISION AGAINST COLORED
PEOPLE.
Judge R. H. Field, of the circuit court,
at Kansas City, Mo., on Tuesday declared
in a decision that a colored man could be
refused admittance not only to a theatre,
but to hotels, public balls, etc. The
suit was that of a colored man named
Simpson W. Young againts the Ninth
Street theatre, and was a test case.
Young, who is a graduate of Oberlin uni
versity, and popular with the colored pop
ulation, appeared at the theatre Novem
ber 27, 1888, with a colored female, and
bought two orchestra seats. The ushers
refusrd to give him seats, and he de
manded them, and was ejected imme
diately. He sued for $50,000 damages,
in which he w r ns supported by nearly 50,-
000 colored people in eastern Kansas and
Missouri. The suit has been in the courts
over a year. The colored people are in
censed with the court, and much excite
ment prevailed. Judge Field held that,
as the civil rights bill had been declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court of
the United States, the rights of colored
people, as well as others in this behalf,
were to be determined by the common
laws that theaters and race courses were
private property, which the proprietor
could run to suit themselves, and that
the ticket thereto was a license revokuble
at any time, upon return or tender of the
costs of the ticket.
ALL DROWNED.
AN ENTIRE FAMILY OF SIX PERSONS FIND
A WATERY GRAVE.
The four children of Jacob R. Slater
were skating on the lake at Bennewster,
about six miles from Kingston, N. Y.,
Sunday afternoon, when the ice. which
was but a few inches thick, gave way,
and the little ones were precipitated into
the water. Their shouts were heard by
the members of the family, who lived
near by, and the father and
mother rushed to the rescue. By the time
the parints reached the lake, the children
had disappeared beneath the ice. The
mother, frantic with the thought of
the children’s peril, rushed upon the
ice. which gave way beneath her weight,
and she sank below' the surface. Mr.
Slater then attempted to reach his wife,
and he, too, was drowned. The entire
family is wiped out of existence.
THE GRADY MONUMENT.
OVER $20,000 RAISED—WHERE THE MON
UMENT WILL BE PLACED.
The Grady monument fund has reached
above $20,000. The latest addition, re
ceived Saturday, through Cornelius N.
Bliss, was $1,005, from the New England
society. There has been much discussion
as to the most appropriate place for Gra
dy's monument. Almost everybody in
Atlanta was interested in the matter, and
almost everybody has expressed an opin
ion on the subject. The committee
which has the matter in charge has con
ridered every locality, and it is known
that the members have almost unanimous
ly decided to place the monnment in the
very heart of the town, where the tide of
Grady’s fellow citizens will continually ebb
and flow about its base. To meet this re
quirement they have chosen the junction
of Marietta and Broad streets.
I desire to state voluntarily and for the
benefit of the public, that having been

Dr. Acker’s English Remedy for con

My motner nas naa a eougn ror twen*
ty years, pneumonia leaving her with a
bronchial trouble. Two years ago, hef.‘
lungs becoming involved, she became
very much emaciated and lost all
strength,being under regular treatment
of a physician and taking medicine all
the hours of the day. This continued
until a year ago when I sAw your adver
tisement of Acker’s English Remedy for
consumption and procured a bottle, as
the tickling in her throat was unremit
ting and so Irritating as to make talking
imoracticable. She was so much re
lieved that another bottle was procured
and w r e now buy by the ease, she never
being without it. She has no physician
and takes no other medicines. She re
marked lately that if she had not pro
cured it when she did she would be dead.
We have recommended it to others, who
always receive benefit from it. If any
one desiring further particulars will ad
dress me with a stamp I will answer
with pleasure, as I deem it the best
medicine made. A trial only is neces
sary to convince any one of its merits.
