Account of the Attempt to Break the .luil —The .Sheriff and Murderer in Dan¬ ger of their Liven—Advised to Leave the City. Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 10.--[Spe eial. ]—The events of the past forty-eight hours are known to the whole world. It was announced by you on Sunday morning that the body of Mrs. Hawes had been found, aud that Hawes would probably be lynched by the people o! this city. Saturday night a mob attacked the jail, the guards opened lire, nine people were killed and a number of others wort hurt. The .sheriff, who defended Hawes al such.fearful cost, is now in “jail charged with murder. The full details of everything that hat transpired since the body of Mrs llawe was found, appear below : Detective Kiernan lias contended fron the lirat that the lake at Lakeview should be drained. Its close proximity to th« Hawes residence, he thought, was sugges tive of a probable place of burial. Satur day morning he got permission from Cor oner Babbitt to drag the lake, and he and two of his men worked from 8 until 11 o’clock with nets and hooks, but without effect. At 11 o’clock Detective Robbins also came out with a squad of searchers. He had. in a conversation with K. R. Hawes in the jail the night previous, ascertained that the prisoner had spent Sunday at Lakeview, and found out whe was with him at the lake. He then saw the gentleman who spent the day there with Mr. Hawes, and asked what the subject of their conversation between he and the prisoner had been. The gentle¬ man told the officer tnat he and Hawes had talked about the depth of the water in the lake and the departure of the pris¬ oner’s family to Atlanta. Mr. Robbins helpers took thisjas a strong clue, and with his went out to the lake as above recited. Mr. Kiernan concluding that it would be useless for both his and Mr. Robbins’men to drag the lake, turned his attention to something else. Foi about two and a half hours the detective and His trusty helpers pulled their hooka about in the bottom of the lake without making any discoveries. About 12:30. however, a nook which was being pulled in a boat occupied by Mr. Jack Knight and a Mr. Beaver, the latter being a con¬ ductor on one of the railroads running into the city, struck something on the bottom, and the two men promptly brought it to the surface. It proved to be a woman's liody—that of Mrs. R R. Hawes. It was found near the south¬ ern end of the little artificial island and about twenty yards from eighteen the boat feet house. The water is about in depth at the place and is far from trans¬ parent. To the body was attached over fifty pounds of railroad iron, which served to keep it on the bottom of the lake. The gentlemen pulled the their boat hor¬ and ror-inspiring rowed the passenger shore, into where they to western placed her on the bank in front of the pavillion. had been disfigured by The remains drawn the water most horribly. and had been The skin bleached was in wrinkles a sickening white by the water. The fifty-pound weight was tied with a cur¬ tain cord around the woman's neck, an¬ other around her waist, and still others to her feet. She was dressed in a calico or muslin wrapper on the ord* r of a mother hubbard. She had been laid on the hank with her face turned upward, and when her head was back a ghastly wound was discovered on the of it. The kull was crushed and the water had washed the hair from the injured part, having it a sickening sight to be- hold. A large crowd gathered, and hundreds of people from city the added neighborhood its and from the were to num- -bers. The right of the woman served to exasperate the crowd, and many expres¬ sions advi eating re . enge for her death were heard, finally, the undertaker’s wagon droie up and the coroner had the remains home away. An anxious crowd followed the wagon as it left the lake. About an iiour before the body of Mrs. Hawes was found in the lake. Messrs. Phil Giion and John Olmstead made a discovery which is v no means unim¬ portant." the premise- They were which se.irehing the Hawes the house fam¬ and ily had occupied. One of them crawled under the building and there found a pile of fresh ashes. Scattering the pile, the gentlemen found that it had as a base a bundle of clothes. He brought them oat and examined them. They were bloody, and about the size and style of those worn by little Irene. It was thought, also, that the little girl was naked when her body was thrown into the lake, if it was thrown in at all. Had she had anv clothes on and been on the bottom of the lake at Lakeview. the draggors believe they would have hook¬ ed her el thing, aa evi ri inch of the Un- tom has ins'll scratched.

For several davs Sheriff Smith has deemed it prudent to keep a watch over the jail, and both day and night since th# finding of damaging evidence against Hawes the alley entrance to the jail has been guarded by two sentinels, who would allow only newspaper reporters and city and county officials admittance Saturda*. however, it was deemed pru- dent to strengthen the guard and on each corner of the jail block were and sta¬ tioned four or five special officers policemen, who would let bo one peas down TwentT tirs* street, except on the w«at «de and even then they Wtacths were not >Bmi rid te stop Oa»«*» iRIFFLN.

There was no e\idvnt to the jail, but idle curios¬ ity prompted thousands to visit the local¬ ity, caught hoping that a glimpse might be of the man charged with the blackest crime ever committed in Jeffer¬ son county, and perhaps the most re¬ volting in the criminal records of Al¬ abama. At ten o'clock Saturday night the mob lynching was organized for attacking the jail and llawes. After some time spent in talk and list¬ ening to those who were urging modern tion and the observance of law and or¬ der, the crowd advanced on the jail. At the corner of Third avenue and Twenty- first street they were met by a guard of special time, and officers.

At 11 o'clock the shouts of the ap¬ proaching crowd could bo plainly heard. The shouts grew closer and louder still, and the officers on the inside lingered their guns and began making prepara¬ tion for the inevitable. A mass of men appeared in the en¬ trance to the alley, and m a loud voice Sheriff Smith ordered them out of the alley at the | eril if their lives. distinguish It was very dark and impossible to the exact place the men at the entrance to the alley were located. Some were evidently on the opposite side of the street. Again the mass of human flesh ap¬ peared ia t lie-entrance to the allev ! "I aui going to shoot at three ' called ■ out the sheriff. "One."

Again the sharp voice of the sheriff called oat "one," “two," etc., and when live had beep reached, lie ca!hd out. "fir- 1 !" A perfect fusilade followed. An Age- Heralil hitnself reporter was in the jail and saw for that all the tiring was not done by the officers. More than one bullet whistled into the office of the jail. The officers from their various positions of ambush fired volley after volley into the crowd, and the screams of the wounded could be heard between the volleys.

It ha- at limes indeed, been more sought than that of the head of (he church, for the reason that tnunv jK>pes have been absolutely ruled by the cardinals, while the cardinals, as a rule, are not ruled by the pope a ay more than they choose to he. There are at present a number of va. cant seats in the College of Cardinals. The occupants of route of theur have, however, been practically selected in ad¬ vance. The majqr doiuo of the pope, an Italian, is to have the rod hat. France is to hat e u cardinal, the candidate of President Carnot. Germany nr will have one who will l>e friendly with the young Emperor William, aud Austria stria will secure the appointment of one who will be in accord with the reigning honse oi the Hajwsburgs. Rome According America to is the have best advices from to at least one and probably three of the new appointments, and the candidates for these vacant seats in the College of Cardinals are numerous. There is a tra¬ dition in the Catholic church thut one of the jropes was called to Rome to rule from hts cell in au African desert; hence every American archbishop anil bishop has some reason to expect elevation. But simple monks are not railed to the papal chair any more, and among all the aspirants for the coveted red hat there are just about a dozen who iiave any chance of success, and among these tiie new cardinals will found.

( These are the leading Catholic church¬ men of America. the Archbishop senior archbishop Williams, of of the Boston, American is church, lie. was created Archbishop made of Boston in 1875. when Boston was an archdiocese. He is well along in years now, but is sturdy witliai. He is not an orator, but is one of the best in¬ formed canon lawyers in the church. He is consulted in almost every church quarr I that takes lilaee. Among others he was called in when the Dr. MeOlynn episode occurred, and it is stdl -aid that if ids advice had iieen heeded the subse queiit quarrel might have been avoided. It is said that cardinal Archbishop Williams but could have been years ago. that He lie said lias never be first sought in line the for position. is to promo¬ tion now. Archbishop Michael Corrigan, of New York, is at the head of the greatest archdiocese in America. It is claimed that there are 100,000 Catholics in New York state. He is rather tall, slight of figure, and has a face that does not indi¬ cate great ability. He wears eye¬ glasses. is retiring, talks only when it is necessary, and is no orator, for he can lie heard only within a radius of about appointing’ twenty feet. Altogether he him is dis¬ for to one who meets the first time. But he is the most suc¬ cessful member of the American hier¬ archy. He is a young man. com¬ paratively -(leaking, the son of a small merchant in Newark. N. J., and since he succeeded Cardinal McClos- dey has become as popular with the Protestants of New York as with the Catholics. How he has done it no one seems to know. His friends say he has used tact, decision and discretion. Others say he has succeeded because of bis pure- ly negative qualities. It is also said that be-is to be named cardinal as a reward for his course in the HcGlynn episode, while others say he will not be named for Archbishop precisely the Patrick same reason. John Ryan, of Philadelphia, was called from St. Louis to succeed the late Archbishop excellence of Wood. He is the orator par the Catholic church, and is looked upon as a prodigy at Rome, where Americans are none too popular. He is a splendid look¬ ing man. Iieing at least six feet in height and well proportionately Imilt, with a big head thatched with red hair. He was the orator on the < ccasion when the red hat was conferred on Cardinal Gib¬ bons. where one of his witty admirers says he need never ask for the red hat while he kept his handsome red head. Archbishop Ryan did not exjiect to be cardinal just yet, but is said to have a fair chance to become one just the same. Next to Archbishop Williams, those on the inside pick out as one of the coming cardinals Archbishop Patrick A. Feehan, of which Chicago. He insisted represent- that the west, has long it was enti¬ tled to a cardinal, and which is in line for the honor this time. If appointed, Archbishop Feehan will be worth seeing when arrayed in his cardinal robes, for he stands some six feet in height and is built like an athlete.

He lias ‘advanced ideas on most things, is in some respects a radical, and is. perhaps, the only Cath¬ olic bishop who favors female suffrage. Bishop Edward Fitzgeiald. Ireland, of of Little Rook, and Bishop St. Paul, are mnrh alike Both are identified with the temperance organizations of the country, both favor the colonization of Catholics in the west, and both are ora¬ tors and able men. Bishop Fitzgerald enjoys the distinction of I cing the only Bishop American Mc.Quaid. bishop with the exception of of Rochester, who voted papal against infallibility the adoption in of the dogma of the great ecumen¬ ical council held in Rome in 1869 '70. Bishop Becker is said to lie one of the best linguists in America, and is said to have been the originator of the idea of the National i atholic university. Bishop Loughlin. of Brooklyn, has the reputa¬ tion of having built more eliun hes than any bishop in America. Bishop Uil¬ niour. a 8cot< liman, is rated as the strictest disciplinarian in the church in America. From among these men who dominate the Catholic church in this country Rome will make its choice of a cardinal. There are other candidates, of course, but they are candidates only in name. It iirny In*, however, that the German Catholics, who now number 2,009,< 00 in America, will gel a cardinal of their own, which they claim they are enti¬ tled to. As a matter of fact a bishop in hix dio¬ cese is as powerful as any cardinal. The red hut carries with it much honor and a vote as to who shall be pope, but that is about all. Here in America the election of a car ,, --l » 44- - * —*--•* WVVXUUVMI. But it has no political significance. (’ar- dinal Met loskcy and, succeeding him, Cardinal Oibism-. have proved them¬ selves such thorough Americans as to cause Protest mis a - well as < 'atholics to take a very considerable interest in the election of a new cardinal. But whether one or three of th ■ men named aliove enter the Co.lege of Cardinals remains to lie seen. 1 l.trF.VTFt) Mt-~.ltHI >1 KMT.
