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. >; ~ ' f:. From the latest source of information the personnel of the Brazilian navy con sists of 1 admiral, 2 vice admirals, 10 rear admirals, 20 first-class captains, 30 frigate captains, 50 lieutenant captains, 170 first lieutenants, 170 second lieu tenants, 3153 seamen, 34C marines, 5(10 apprentice marines, 230 engineers and 80 members of the medical staff. Cadets enter the Imperial Naval School of Bio Janeiro between the ages of twelve and fourteen. The preparatory course is di vided into three yearly periods and the final course comprises four years. 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 enterprises organized in ISS7, against 3618 in 1888, 3430 in 1887, and 1575 in 1886. The total number of new in dustrial enterprises organized in the South during the last four years, or since January 1, 1886, is over 13.700, divided as follows: Iron furnace com panies 126, machine shops and foundries 441, agricultural implement factories 63, flour mills 545, cotton mills 267, fur niture factories 220, gas works 101, water ■works 331, carriage and wagon factories 178, electric light companies, 475; min ing and quarrying enterprises, 1801 lumber mills, including saw and planing mills, sash and door factories, stave fac tories, 3036; ice factories, 293; canning factories, 425; stove foundries, 25; brick works, 565; miscellaneous iron and steel works, rolling mills, pipe works, etc., 184; cottcn compresses, Jl4; cotton seed oil mills, 148; miscellaneous enter prises not included in foregoing. 4415.

Jones, of Raker county, Ga., the extensive cotton planter and "first bale” man, died at Atlanta, Ga., on Saturday. Mr. Jones served two terms in the Georgia legislature, and had the reputation of being one of the most advanced farmers in the state. A meeting of the manufacturers of yel low pine lumber of Georgia was held" at the chamber of commerce at Atlanta, on Saturday. Nearly all of the larger mills whose product is shipped by all rail to northern and western points were repre sented. The purpose for which the meet ing was called was primarily to regulate inspection, to agree upon sales on a mill basis, and to secure for the railroads such changes in the present method of ship ments as would correct existing annoy ances and delays in transportation. Now that the Supreme Court of Ala bama has refused the application of Dick Hawes’ counsel for a rehearing, both the noted prisoner and his counsel seem to have given up all hopes. Asa matter of form his counsel will make application to the governor for a commutation of his sentence to life imprisonment, but with little hope of success. Hawes himscli has abandoned all hope, and has, for the first time since his loug imprisonment, shown evidence of repentance. Hawes has given it out that he wants to he buried in Atlanta, Oh. , whither his body will doubtless be sent. SEVEN BOYS DROWNED. THEY WERE TAKING A RIDE ON THE RIVER AND THEIR BOATS WERE CAPSIZED.

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. CURRENT NEWS. CONDENSED FROM THE TELE GRAPH AND CABLE.

A BRIDGE GIVES WAT, PRECIPITATING A TRAIN INTO THE RIVER. A dispatch from Peoria, 111., says: Tuesday uiglit, as a freight train started over the bridge spanning the river at Bridge Junction, the first span of iron bridge sank, precipitating the engine, tender and three cars into the river. 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 water, and the engineer was pinned iD the cab with his head just above the wa ter. He was standing on the dead body of a fireman, but fastened in such a way that before he could be extricated, died of exposure. The engine was one of the heaviest made, weighing one hundred tons. ANOTHER ONE. Owing to heavy rains and washouts west of Dallas, Oregon, and also in the Wiliiamette valley, there has been no tel egraphic communication with Portland, Ore., or with other points on Puget sound since Monday morning. A telegram from Dallas states that a construction train went through a bridge sixty-eight feet high on Sunday. The engine passed over safely, but the tender fell on the caboose, and killed ten men and injured sixteen. A train with three doctors left for the scene of the accident, which oc curred about a mile and a half west of Cascade locks. The bridge was rendered ansafe by the heavy rains of late. 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.
