That will be a magnificent advertise

Albany will realize her need for a
large hotel during the Chautauqua,
and that occasiou will do more to boom
the movement for a new, large, com
modious hotel than anything that has
happened in years.
Albany will now hare waterworks,
a Board of Trade, and a line of river
boats. When will she get a telephone
exchange with the railroads as sub
scribers, public schools and a large,
new hotel? When?
Parties in surrounding towns, who
are contemplating shipping cotton to

Himself—Details of the Horrible
Triple .tlarder as Hawes Will
Dive lu Ills Confession Kook.
From the Atlanta Journal.
Birmingham, Feb. 27.—Hawes’ de
tailed account of the triple murder of
his wife and two children has come to
light.
It is now made public iu the Journal
for the first time.
The crime ha* always been horrible
to think upon, but the .details falling
from the lips of the murderer as he
stands in the shadows of the gallows,
present a picture painted in blood that
pales the blackest page in the annals of
crime.
HAWES’ CONFESSION BOOK.
As stated in yesterday’s Journal,
Hawes’ confession will be printed in
book form and sold after his death for
the benefit of his eon Willie. The con
tents of that book have become known.
At first a few railroad men began to
talk of it among themselves, and now
it is generally known in Birmingham.
Hawes tells the tale of his married
life, his unsuccessful attempt at divorce
and his second love affair—that with
Miss Story.
Blind with his infatuation for Miss
Story, he courted her and was accepted.
The day for the wedding was fixed.
He went to his wife on Friday, Novem
ber 30, 1SS8, and asked her to take the
two little girls and go off and never
come back agaiu. He offered to pay
her well and to support her the rest of
her life. She consented to go, want
ing to marry again. On Saturday
night she said she had changed her
mind and taunted him with wanting to
marry. She was drinking. There
was a terrible fuss. He upbraided her
for having ruined his life, and *he
only laughed at him.
THE MURDEROUS AX.
Seizing an ax, the infuriated hus
band struck his wife a blow on the
bark of the head and she sank to the
floor dead.
Just then Irene came running into
the room, having been awakened by
the noise made during the quarrel.
She knew what had happened. She
was a living witness against him.
Would she not be happier In heaven
than living on earth, knowing her
mother as she did, and knowing that
her father was a murderer?
It took but a moment for these
thoughts to pass through his mind.
He raised the ax and struck the child
across tiie head—not with the blade o
the ax, but with the handle—he did
not wish to sec the child’s blood.
When the child tell she began to
scream, and he smothered her cries
with a pillow and choked her to death.
CONCEALING THE CRIME.
IJe had to conceal the crime. Now
that he had committed the deed, if he
could hide it, he could still marry his
“angel” and be happy.
lie emptied a trunk and put the two
bodies into it. He slipped out of the
house and went to town and picked up
two pieces of railroad iron and carried
them home. One of these he fastened
around his dead wife’s waist and the
other about his child’s waist.
He went back to town again and
hired a dray, telling the drayman he
wanted him to haul a trunk into the
woods. To the drayman he said :
“I wish to hide in the woods atrunk,
which contains some valuable things,
and I will pay you well.”
He offered the drayman ten dollars
if he would never say anything about
it. The offer was accepted.
The drayman was made to drive by
a railroad yard and two pieces of rail
road iron were thrown into the wagon.
The drayman was told that the iron
was to make the trunk heavy so no
one man could carry it off.
THE TRUNK REMOVED.
It was now about 8 o’clock on Sat
urday night, November 31, 1881.
When the house was reached Hawes
went in alone, leaving the drayman in
the street. He opened the trunk and
put the other pieces of iron in it.
The drayman was called in and the j
two men carried the trunk outside aud
placed it iu the wagon. About a Half
a mile from Hawes’ house, and near
the baseball park, the trunk was se
creted in the woods.
The drayman and II a we* both left
together, but Hawes soon returned
and opened the trunk. Irene’s body
was taken out first and dragged to
Lake View, which was close by. He
had to go through the base hall park,
and knocked off a picket to make a
near cut.
He placed the body of the child in a
boat and paddled out into the lake,
r.od tlirew the body overboard.
He returned for the body of his wife,
and dragged it to the lake. Leaving
the body he returned to the trunk and
picked up the two pieces of railroad
iron. These he carried to the lake,
and tied one around his dead wife’s
neck and the other around her ankles.
lie placed the body in a boat and,
paddling out into the middle of the
lake, threw it overboard.
He returned to the trunk and putting
it on his shoulders carried it several
miles into the woods anil hid it among
soms bushes.
BACK TO THE SCENE OF THE MURDER.
Late in the night the murd return
ed to his home.
He took the clothing which had
been in the trunk and carried them
out into the yard and set them on
fire.
For the first time in two hours he
sat down and began to think it all
over.
Another thing confronted him. He
must get May and Willie ont of the
way, aud then circulate the story that
hety had all gone away.
He intended to give little Willie to
his brother, Jim Hawes and send May
to a convent in Montgomery.
He went into the next room and
took the little boy, Willie, hut of bed,
where he and May were sleeping. He
did not disturb May. He quickly
dressed Willie and carried him down
town and to the railroad depot. He
met hi* brother Jim and gave the boy
i to him, asking him to take care of him
; tr.r a while.
Hawes returned home and spent the
rest of the night.
Sunday he left May with the negro
woman, Fannie Bryant.
On that day he went out to Lake
View to see if there was any evidence
of his crime, nesaw nothing and was
told that the lake was very deep.
I*OOR LITTLE MAT.
Monday morning he went by Fannie
Bryant’s bouse to see May. His inten-
j tiou was to send her to Montgomery
on that night. He told her not to talk
I to little negroes. He was uncertain
about the child’s ignorance of the mur-
[ der.
Monday evening he returned to
Far.uie Bryant’s house, aud the woman
1 told him that May had been talking
about how her father had killed ber
; mother.
Fannie Bryant was into the secret
and must be dealt with. She was paid
! to keep her mouth shut, and then told
of the crime in full.
But May had to be gotten out of the
way 9o be decided to kill ber too.
Monday night he called on the Bry
ant woman and carried May off. He
told her be was going to take ber to
ride. They boarded a dummy car for
East Lake. It wouldn’t do to pot her
in the lake with the others.
He had a flash of whisky and he gave
the ehild several drinks. At East Lake
be went to tin lake and la an obscure
spot be
CHOKED HER TO DEATH.
He thought he heard somebody
i coming, and he hastily tied a lot of
1 rocks in her apron and threw her into
the lake.
It was about 7 o’clock when he went
to East Lake.
When he returned to the city it was
night.
It was on Saturday afternoon that
Hawes applied to a man named Fuller
for board for his wife and child. He
thought at that time that his first wife
intendel to go away with Irene and
May, as she had promised, and he
would keep Willie when he had mar
ried Miss S:ory.
His statement to Miss Story about
his having only only one child was
made on the idea that his wife would
go off with the other two children.
TO THE BRIDAL ALTAR.
“Now to marry my angel,” was
Hawes’ thought. “And l coulu not
wait,” said he, “for the wedding day
was fixed.”
Hawes will give an account of his
wedding, and will refer to his trial and
his treatment in jail.

Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 28,1890.—
[Special. 1—Dick Hawes is dead.
Tiiis is the last day of February, and
it is the last day that one of the most
inhuman murderers that ever breathed
saw the light of day.
Is this a co-incidence of death?
The dying day of a dying month
saw the death of a man who scattered
bloodshed in iiis path after living an
upright life for many years. But Dick
Hawes has paid the penalty of his
crime, and now his spirit has taken its
flight to eternity.
Long before the hour for the execu
tion a throng of eager and anxious
spectators gathered at the jail yard,
but none were admitted save those wfio
had special permits from Sheriff Smith.
The representatives of the press and
such clergymen as had been invited
were the only ones on the iuside at the
scaffold, besides certain persons who
were intimate enough with tiie mur
derer to take an interest in the final
ceremonies of his great tragedy.
Shortly before one o’clock'"Sheriff
Smith led the prisoner from the jail
into the yard.
He was dressed neatly in a suit of
black and a button-bole bouquet
adorned the lappel of his coat, pinned
a* tastefully as if the fair hands of
some lady had bestowed the compli
ment.
nawes seemed resigned to his fate.
His demeanor was serious, and noth
ing like indifference seemed to mani
fest itself in his countenance.
He had been given a clean shave,
and being naturally a fine-looking man
the additional flesh from his confine
ment gave him a more distinguished
appearance.
As he stepped upon the scaffold liis
face indicated the secret thoughts of
his mind and gave evidence that a
great struggle was going on within,
though to a casual observer he was
perfectly calm.
After all arrangements had been
made for the execution Hawes was
given an opportunity to talk. lie had
only a few minutes and expressed
himself briefly. He said that he had
written an account of the tragedy,
which was true in every detail. He
charged that John Wylie and Fannie
Bryant did the murders at his instiga
tion, aud from his talk it could be seen
that he intended to implicate some oue
else, as he lias been trying to do for
some time.
He made a moral lecture on tiie evil
influences of whiskey and bad women,
urging all present to beware of such
vices and curses.
When he had concluded, the sheriff
sprung the drop and the hands of the
watch pointed to one just as the spring
was touched.
On the outside of the jail yard a large
number, who bad climbed into trees
and availed themselves of other eleva
tions, could see when the Anal miment
came.
A* soon as Sheriff Smith touched the
trigger Hawes went through the trap
1 his body dangled in the air. In
stantly a yell and shout went up from
the crowd outside, and their fiendish
joy as expressed in their vociferous ex
ultation was like the yell of demons on
debauch.
The body hung eight minutes when
the physician pronounced life extinct,
and thus the greatest modern murderer
save Woolfolk expiated his crime by
giving hi* one life formally.
SheriffSinith took the body in charge
and placir g it in a neat casket prepared
it for shipment.
Mr. Jim Hawes, the dead man’s
brother, with other friends will accom
pany the remains to Atlanta to-morrow
where they will be buried.
Little Willie Hawes, the only sur
viving child of the dead man, has been
with his Uncle, Jim Hawes,constantly,
but does not seem to realize fully the
meaning of his fathers execution. He
will go to Atlanta with his uncle, and
unless he sees copies of the papers on
the way he will not feel the full shock
until the remains are laid to rest.

Alia* •( Larkin.
From a private letter the News and
Advertiser learns some facts concern
ing the life of John H. Carlin, alias Jas.
M. Larkin, who died in Albany last
week.
It is the same old|story of a wild life
and a sad end, brought on by a bad
marriage.
He was an industrious mechanic,
and a respected citizen, and was doing
well. He married against the wishes
of his family, his wife was unfaithful
and led him a dog’s life. He became
wild aud reckless in his habits and
separated from her. His excesses led
to the rapid development of a predis
position to consumption in iiis family,
and bis health soon tailed.
His wife continued to plague
him even after the separation,
and tbe publicity of ber con
duct was more than lie could bear.
His health rapidly getting worse, he
concluded to go away from home in
the hope* of being benefitted by the
change. lie went to Cincinnati, and
worked at his trade of machinist as
long as he could keep up and going.
He c hanged his name to prevent his
wife trom following and persecuting
him, and for awhile was happier than
he had been for years, not having to
bear the torment of feeling his com
rades’ scorn, not having to hear the
tales of his wife’s misdoings in addi
tion to the suffering incident to bis
bad health and feeble condition.
When bis health completely broke
down in Cincinnati he had enough
money to briDg him to Albany and a
few dollars over, and he came direct
through, hoping that this climate and
Albany’s water, of which he had heaid
so much might result, if uot in a
cure, at least in relief. But he delayed
to come too long. The rest of the cir
cumstance* of his sad end the readers
of the News and Advertiser are al
ready familiar with, and they need no
repetition.
The correspondent further states
that on tbe day of his death, or the
day preceding, his wife was party to a
great scandal at a First street boarding
house in New Bedford, Mass. “Upset
another boarding bouse on First
street,” says the informant, “and
where she gets the money to live in
such style is a mystery. A nother case,
I guess, of the devil taking care of his
own.” Poor Larkin, his death was
perhaps the greatest boon heaven could
have granted him. There are some
things that make death seem the great
est blessing, the sweetest rest. And a
wife’s unfaithfulness and notoriety is
the chief of these.
Larkin’s behavior before death is ex
plained by tiie fact that he had a child,
and he wished to conceal his deatli
from his wife to prevent her from
claiming and gaining possession of hi*
boy. The child is only a few years of
age, and it is hoped his silence may not
be in vain. A man could be forgiven
many sins committed to keep such a
woman from gaining possession of his
child.
But why could not Larkin have con
fided these thing; to the doctor who
tended him? Probably his reticence
was induced by a dislike lo telling the
story of his wife’s shame.
His relatives are good, honest peopl®
and stand well in the community in
which they live, and they have the
sympathy of the News and Adver
tiser and the community at large, in
their grief, and in the sorrow they
have had at the hands, and the annoy-
auce they are likely to hare at the
hands of “madam.”

A Common Mistake.
Why do so many intelligent person*
stubbornly refuse to take any kind of
medicine for slight illness, when first
taken sick, and when the greatest ben
efit may be derived from plain simple
treatment. Nearly always the first
act of a physician when called, is to
prescribe remedies to move the bowels,
to regulate the liver, open the secre
tions and aid nature. Why do not in
telligent persons that the same plain
treatment in time themselves, try it
and take St. Patrick’s Pills, they are
guaranteed to give satisfaction. They
act mildly without griping or irrita
tion, and are thorough in their effects
they are a perfect physic for men,
women or children. Sold by Hils

Any wlaer* but Florida.
Yesterday a party of emigrant-
passed through Albany g*>ing North
ward. They had emigrated to Florida
about a year ago, had failed in their
agricultural endeavers iu that State,
and had detei mined to come back to
“God’s country.” They were evident
ly disgusted with Florida, as may be
judged from the answer of one of the
party to the reporter’* query as to
where they were going:
“God’s knows; don’t care! To
h—I, or anywhere else. But I am go
ing to the farthest point from Florida
that I can reach before my stock dies.”

A Ituniwaf.
A horse attached to a wagon belong
ing to Mr. Rachel, of tbe Singer sew
ing machine agency at this place, ran
away Tuesday, breaking the shaves
of the wagon and tearing the harness
into shreds. One of the attaches of tbe
office, Mr. Parker by name, was in the
wagon at the time and tried to jump
out, but becoming entangled in the
lines could not get out. Tbe horse ran
from the corner of Washington and
Broad streets up to opposite Greer £
Fioyed’s, turned round aud dashed
down the street and out Washington,
where he quietir got over his fears.
As lie turned the young man was
thrown out and the wagon was de
tached from the horse. Mr. Parker
alighted on his right hip and haud,
and had a severe jolt. One of tbe
bones of his right wrist seems to be
dislocated and is very painful. Tbe
runaway created a momentary excite
ment and drew quite a crowd.
Dyspepsia, with its Kindred atten
dants of Indigestion, Weak Stomach,

i gravaie it. But Humphrey’s Hom

Wedn-sday morning the little seven-

and broke his left arm.
He was playing on a pile of lumber
in tiie back yard of Ids father’s place
on Residence stieet, between Washing
ton and Jackson streets, when a piece
of scantling upon which he was stand
ing roiled over and precipitated him to
the ground. In falling, he caught ids
left arm under his body and broke one
of the bones. *
Hi* cries called the attention ot the
family to the matter, and he was im
mediately brought in and a doctor sent
for. Dr. W. W. Bacon responded and
set the bone, at the same time giving
him a soothing draught. He has rested
well since the accident, and the doctor
says be will soon be up and about

Tuesday afternoon Capt.T. X. Wool-
folk invited a parry of friends to make
a trip up the Columbu* Southern grade
to meet the force that is laying track.
He had heard that the track had
been laid about halt way from Dawson
to Albany, and wished to go out to see
what progress was being made. The
party, composed of Capt. Woolfolk,
Messrs. R. U. Warren, W. D. Mann,
and a representative of the News and
Advertiser, left the city at half past
two o’clock.
About two miles out of the city the
team was pulled upon the road bed,
aud then the search for the construc
tion train began in earnest.
There was nothing of special interest
to attract the attention of the party on
the route. The long straight level
grade, on eitiier side of which a wide
expanse of level fields stretched out
before the eye, broken occasionally by
a dense copse of woodland. The labor
er preparing for his annual crops fol
lowed the plow, as has been his cus
tom for years, with no notind to dis
turb him in his efforts, but soon his
reverie will be broken by the shriek of
the locomotive as it thunders on its
great iron highway to the metiopolis
of Southwest Georgia.
Reaching Mr. Frank Cocke’s place, a
negro boy was overtaken who was
trudging along in a shiftless manner.
Ue was asked how far it was to where
the track wa9 being laid, aud replied :
“ ’Bout a mile tudder, boss. Right up
yonder whar you see d;.t smoke.”
A short distance larther the locomo
tive was seen, and the convicts raised
a cloud of dust ever and anon by
throwiug tbe crossties upon the road
bed.
That was a reality. The long-ex
pected Columbus Southern was in
sight, and tiie anxiety of the party was
relieved.
On reaching the scene of action the
team was driven into the woods and
the party alighted to inspect the work,
to see how it was being done, and to
ask as many questions as they could
think of to gratify their curiosity as to
the time required to complete the work
to Albany.
Mr. McCarthy was found to be in
charge of the squad, and was standing
on the side of the construction train
keeping all hands going as rapidly as
they could.
Five flat cars, filled with crossties
and rails, were in front of an engine,
and on rollers on either side of the
train the ties and rails were sent. On
reaching the end of the train they were
thrown dovvu, the rails rapidly put
down, and tiie train motioned ahead.
Ou the banks stood a crowd of ue-
groes, the natives attracted to the
seen 5 to gratify their curiosity aud to
actually see a railroad.
After watching the work for some
time, the Albany party approached Mr.
McCarthy and inserted their gimlets.
He yielded readily to conversation
and seemed anxious to speak of the
work.
“Uowr far are you now from Daw
son?” was asked.
“About ten and a Half miles. When
we quit work to-night wc will be eleven
miles from Dawson.”
“How many convicts have you at
work here?”
“Ninety-five.”
“Where is your camp located ?”
“Some distance back toward Daw-
snu, but we will move to-morrow to
Mr. Cocke’s place, just below here.”
“When do you expect to reach Al
bany?”
“I have given myself until Saturday,
tiie 15:h, as a limit. Unless it rains i
will get there eailier in al! probability.
With good weather you can count on
seeing the road completed to Albany
by that time anyhow.”
“llow much track are you putting
down daily?”
“About a mile and a quarter.”
“More convicts are at work on the
road than you have here, are there
not?”
“Yes. We have three camps, two
besides this one. They are back with
the engineering corps, surfacing up
the road and putting it in first-class
traveling condition.”
“You will be with us then on the
loth sure?”
“I’m satisfied of it. A3 I say, unless
bad weather prevents, tiie road will be
»n Albany at that time.”
J ust as the party started to leave M r.
McCarthy stopped them, saying: “I’ll
tell you oi.e thing, gentlemen. The
finest land I ever saw in Georgia is the
land we’ve been through since we left
Dawson.”
Now that’s a pointer, and show*
what a fine country the Southern will
penetrate.
Now for a barbecue on the comple
tion of the Columbus Southern.
There’s no further doubt about it. It
will be here in Lite course of ten days,
and the occasion must be celebrated iu
a royal manner.
Who’ll see to it that a big barbecue
is arranged at that time?

We will have the Ohioans at Chau
tauqua, or some of them at least. Tbe
committee appointed by Mayor Wool-
folk to meet the Ohio excursionists at
Americus Monday, and invite them
to visit Albany, went up before day
yesterday morning and accomplished
wonders in getting the Ohioans to
promise to visit tbe Chautauqua.
The following special from the Man-
aging Editor, received Monday night,
tells the story:
Americus, Ga., March 3.—[Special.]
—The Committee of Albanians, who
came up this morning, waited on the
excursionists and presented the invi
tation of Mayor Woolfolk and citizens,
urgently pressing upon the Ohioans
the beauty and advantages of the Ar
tesian City, and putting forth for their
consideration the proposition of going
to Columbus and returning to Albany,
instead of going to Savannah.
The excursionists are very anxious
to get back to Ohio, and may not go
on further than Americus. They all
express themselves as disappointed
that they could not go to Albany, for
it was in the list at first, but the rail
road rates discriminated against the
Artesiau City.
COMING TO CHAUTAUQUA.
They say they will come down to
the Albany Chautauqua, if they are
denied the pleasure of a visit now.
Every one of them expresses him
self as anxious to come, but busi
ness matters call the capitalists home.
The citizens of Americus en matte
urged the Ohio delegation to go on to
Albany and see the wonderful re
sources of Southwest Georgia as shown
in Albany and old Dougherty. Major
Glessner himself offered to pot only
have them go to Albany, but to accom
pany them if they decided to go.
The Albany delegation received
every courtesy at the hands of Major
Glessner aud citizens of Americus, aud
their remarks concerning Albany and
Dougberty county, her resources and
possibilities were received with en
thusiasm, and excited much inquiry
and interest among the Ohio excur
sionists.
The delegation will be home to-night.

BISHOP VINCENT’S VISIT.
He Will be Here Next Week te En
tertain Albany’* Clt zen* and
Ckautanquan*.
Bishop J. H. Vincent, of New York,
who has promised to give Albany a
visit, will positively be here March 13.
He will stop over in Albany on his
way North from the Florida Chautau
qua, and will reach here on the 13th
inst.
lie comes as a fore-runner of the
Chautauqua, and being one of the first
persons interested iu Chautauqua iu
the United States, Albany should give
him a warm welcome, and all person. 1
interested in the Chautauqua move
ment should accord him all the honor
that his visit merits.
Bishop Vincent is a learned man, a
scholar, an author, an orator and one
of the leading lights of the Methodist
church North.
Oa the afternoon of tiie 13th inst.
he will deliver an address on “The
Chautauqua Idea,” and in the evening
of the same dav will render his famous
lecture, “Tom and His Teachers.”
Bishop Vincent’s visit will be fraught
with much enjoyment and entertair
ment to Albanians, and the entire city
should be prepared fo give him a warm
welcome and an enthusiastic appear
ance at hi* lectures.
He virtually opens the Chautauqua
here this year, and it is a labor of 1 >ve
for he simply stops over to lend his en
couragement to the great Chautauqua
movement, with which he has been so
prominently identified from its incep
tion.
A great compliment i« paid Albany
by Bishop Vincent’s visit.

young lady was humming the refrain
ot the love-sick song, “A kbs, kiss;

last night when he told you good-bye
at the front door. I saw him do it.

locomotive so fast that the driving
wheels of his engine melted off, no

lightning, put on all steam and ran

lightning on to the main track and save
his engine from the shock. It is alao
confidently belief ed that both are de
scendants of Baron Munchausen.
