THE FIELD OF LABOR —SEETHING CAUL DRON OF EUROPEAN INTRIGUE—FIRES, SUICIDES, ETC. —NOTED DEAD. Four men, three of them Germans and one Frenchman, attempted suicide in New York city on Thursday. One died instantly, and at least two of the others will die. During a meeting held at Amsterdam, Holland, to consider the project for the erection of a statue of the Pope, COO so cialists gained admission to the meeting hall and prevented Abbe Burrows from speaking. An engine on the Toledo, Columbus and Southern Railroad drew a passenger train from Toledo to Findlay, Ohio, on fuel furnished by crude petroleum. The trial was such a success that President Brown announces that ho will have all his engines arranged for the use of oil and do away with coal. Three-quarters of the large ship build ing plant of the Globe Iron Works in Cleveland, Ohio, was destroyed by fire. Four large steel vessels in process of con struction were upon the stocks within a few feet of the burning buildings, but the ships were saved from damage. The loss is fixed at $200,000, and it is prob ably covered by insurance. Alex. K. McMillan, editor of the New York Commercial Bulletin , died in Brook lyn, N. Y. For forty years be had been New York correspondent of the Phila delphia Ledger. His ill health dated from the time of the blizzard, when he attempted to cross Brooklyn bridge. He was born in Scotland in 1825, coming here when eleven years old. Extensive preparations being made for the reception of Mrs. Lucy Parsons, the wife of the aiftrchist who was hung, on her return to Chicago, 111., from her trip abroad, are very likely to be knocked in the head: Chief of Police Hubbard says: “There has been enough of this foolishness in times past, and an archy will never be allowed to parade the streets of Chicago again as long as I am chief of police.” Eighteen months ago Henry C. Lai bum, a prominent business man and ‘member of the council of Springfield, lOhio, left his home and business to avoid hrrest for a series of alleged forgeries, to several thousand dollars, and has been a fugitive from justice ever since. Early in the week he was called home by his wife, and on Thursday while lie was ministering to her, an offi cer arrested him. In deference to his wife’s condition, Labuim was held at his tome. Officer Grimly waited for.hii prisoner, who sat with his dying wife in his arms. When she had breathed her ia?t, he was transferred to jail. Advices from Webster county, lowa, state that it is probable that the eviction of Des Moines River land settlers will begin again in a few dajs. Mr. Snell, who owns the navigation company’s title to most of the balance of the lands in dispute, has returned to Fort Dodge, and fays that unless the weather changes in a few days and becomes so cold that it is impossible to evict settlers, he will have Uni ed States marshals again in the field with instructions to finish the evic tion of all remaining on his land who have not got their titles from him. He s "d that he did not believe the bill passed by the Hon e for the relief of the settlers would cut any figure. FRIGHTENED. The British government has ordered troops now stationed in the Mediterra nean to procee i to Suakim. They will be replaced by troops from England. The request for more troops at Suakim, which whs maile aLer recent reconnoit ring, is believed to have been, instigated by the government itself, as the easiest mode of retiling from au untenable atti tude and of appeasing public misgivings. A. steamer would leave Suez at once to convey to Suakim a squadron of the 20th Hussars and three hundred men of the Welsh Infantry. This would make the total force at Suakim 6,500 men, com posed mostly of Egyptians, against 2,400 B f the enemy. The first session of the Fiftieth Con fess was the longest continuous session itt the history of nearly ft century of Con fesses, having lasted 321 days. The longest previous session lasted 302 days, ending September 30th. Apart from the protracted but interesting discussion the tariff question in both houses, aa d the unparalleled dead-lock in the consideration of the bill to refund the direct tax, thesession lias been remarka b*e in several ways, but in none more than in the enormous number of meas- Gre * introduced. BIRMINGHAM'S WOE. MANY KILLED IN ATTEMPTING TO LYNCH. HAWES. SHERIFF SMITH CAUSES A LONG DEATH ROLL- -IMPOSING FORCE OF MILITARY ON HAND —MYSTERIOUS TRUNK FOUND. The discovery on Saturday o! the body of Mrs. Hawes (the wife of Richard Hawes the railroad engineer), at the bott m of Lake View, Birmingham, Ala., caused a tremendous excitement, and at once steps were taken by many citizens to lynch the incarcerated man. The body of Mrs. Hawes was found lying on the bottom of the lake at the deepest part, about two hundred feet from the shore. A hasty examination wus made and there was found the final evidence of a double murder. The hack of the woman’s head had been laid open by a terrible blow with an ax. There was a frightful gaping wound, from which the brains of the woman had flowed out with her life blood. Securely fastened around the woman’s neck was a piece of railroad iron, which would weigh fifty pounds. Another piece was tied aroufid her waist and a third pifecc around her ankles. The three pieces ol iron will weigh 150 pounds. Two hours after the finding of the body, two officers went to the jail and informed Hawes ol the find. He did.not change color, and had little to say except deny all knowl edge of the crime. The sheriff thought it would be best to remove Hawes to Montgomery, and he was asked if he would be willing to don the uniform of a policeman and walk through the streets to the depot. When told that it was risky, he replied he would prefer to re main in his cell rather than take the chances of showing his face on the street. About thirty officers were stationed around the jail, all armed with Winches ter rifles. The other child which has been missing has not been found, but there is no longer any doubt that she, too, has been murdered. The search foi the body will be continued. The evi dence against Hawes, secured is most damaging, and it is now certain that he had one accomplice, perhaps more than one. Every statement he has made in connection with the matter has been proven untrue. A search of the Hawes house disclosed blood stains in almost every room. A bloody trail leading in the direction oi the lake waii also found. Facts have been obtained showing that Hawes had treated his wife most cruelly for some time past. About two months ago he beat her with a large stick, breaking one of her arms and two ribs. He failed to provide her with proper clothing or suf ficient money, and she told several par ties that he had threatened on several oc casions to kill her. After the blood stains in the house were found, the build ing was left unguarded for two hours, and when the officers returned, some one had entered through a window and washed away all traces of blood, showing that there is an accorn still at large. * At about 2 o’clock Sunday morning, about 3,000 citizens proceeded to the jail with the intention of taking Hawes out and hanging him. The jail is lo cated in the center of the city, and is approached through an alley. The alley is about fifteen feet wide, and a hundred long. The guard at the jail was ar ranged up stairs at the window end down stairs at the main entrance, while those who were in the court house were only a few feet away. As the mob en tered the mouth of the alley, Sheriff Smith advanced and, in a clear voice, called out, “Stop!” The mob moved on. Then the sheriff called out: “If you don’t stop before I count three, I’ll order the guard to fire.” The mob did not stop. “I’ll give you another chance,” cried the sheriff. “I’ll count five, and then order the guard to fire. ” Persons a block away heard the order, but the mob apparently did not. The leaders kept advancing, and the crowd pressed close behind them. The sheriff, seeing that the critical moment had come, turned quietly upon liis heel and started back towards the jail. He had been standing ten feet from the main entrance, and as he turned, the crowd took it as a signal for victory, and with a veil began to move faster. The sheriff halted in the jail door a second, and raising his hat yelled: “Fire, and fire quick and fast.” Instantly the sharp report of the Winchesters rang out and men fell tc the ground, showing that the guard had fired with deadly effect. The falling men stopped the crowd. For a second it hesitated, and then as quickly as it came it turned and went back. With the mob out of the alley, the wounded could be seen lying upon the ground. Then the officers, or some of them, left the jail, and picking up the wounded, carried them out. The city ambulance? were summoned, and the wounded borne away. Some were taken to one place and some another. Bar-rooms and res taurants close by were alike converted into hospitals. In one restaurant three wounded men lay upon the floor. In a saloon less than a block away were twe more, and in a drug store near by an other. An undertaker’s place was made a retreat for another, while others were scattered about generally, some at their homes and some in strange bousi s. Information w s at once S'-nt to Gov. Seav, and the f Bowing military com pmb's were ordered to the scene: Com pany C, Montgomery Greys, twenty-nine men; Comp my C, Greenville Light Guards, twenty-five men; Company D, Montgomery True Blues, twenty-foui men; Company E, Birmingham Guards; Company F, Wariior Guard-, thitty-nine men; Company G, Jefferson Guards; Company K, Birmingham Rifijs, twentj- DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OP THE RESOURCES OF DADE COUNTY. TRENTON. GA.. FRIDAY- DECEMBER 14, 1888. eight men; Company C, • Butler Rifles, thirteen men; Battery D, Birmingham Artillery, seven men; Troop A, Montgomery Mounted Rifles, twenty-five men; Anniston Rifles, thirty nine men. A careful investigation showed the following list of killed: M. B. Throck morton, postmaster; J. R. McCoy, a brickmaker; A. B. Tarrant, a student; A. D. Bryant, a bookkeeper; C. C. Tate, a painter, Charles Jenkins, a carpenter; Colbert Smith, a negro'; an unknown negro; J. A. Braudon, a stranger. The wounded are: Lawrence Fitzhugh, a civil engineer on the Birmingham Min >: ral; Charles Bailey, of Boston, Mass.; A. J. Schide, a mechanic; Mr. Berkley, a contractor; Charles Bailey, a brakeman on the Louisville & Na-hville Railroad; John 11. Merritt; Matt Kennedy; J. L. Qwen;J. W. Gilmore; Albert Smith,* (colored) who worked for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad; a negro boy; W. A. Bird; N. Reichw ein, is a German and unmarried; J. W. Montgomery, a slight wound on the left jaw. Nearly every hour another wounded man is found. Hawes had heard the threats through the open window of his cell before the firing and felt almost certain that an at tempt would be made to lynch him. From his window he fcould see the throng, and for more than two hours he was peering through the bars. He was iu his shirt sleeves and looked out upon the mob calmly and fearlessly. “But I don’t see why we should be condemned,” said Sheriff Smith. “VYe begged and pleaded with the crowd to keep back, and then they fired the first shots. Sev eral shots were fired by the crowd before I gave the order to fire. We begged them to halt at the mouth of the valley, but still they kept coming on. We begged them to go back time and tim< again, warned them that we would shoot, but they would not cease. They bad tbe way up the alley close up to the jail door, and were shouting, ‘Dynamite.’ ‘Blow up the jail with dynamite.’ After all this, and after they opened fire, I gave the fire.” At the physiciaus’ offices, at the hos pitals and*undertaking rooms, heartiend ing scenes were witnessed. Strong men in the agonies of death groaned aloud, while skillful physicians d;d all that could be done to relieve their suffer ings. Men who had just been revived from sleep by tbe news of the terrible af fair crowded around operating chairs, searching for friends or relations. All night long crowds of people remained on the streets, and of course talked of noth ing but the terrible event of the evening. After the appearance of the military at the jail,“and the removal of,all the killed and wounded, the crowd which still lingered iu the vicinity, began to dis perse, but soon congregated again at points further down town. Capt. Clarke, of the Jefferson Volunteers, was in com mand of the military until the arrival oi Col. Thomas G. Jones, and one of his first orders was to place a strong guard at every gun store in the city. A squad of troops was placed at each point, and all night long they remained on duty. It was thought an attack would be made on j the jail before morning, but all fear of this was soon dispelled when day dawn ed. A number of hot-headed men sug gested that the jail be blown up with dynamite, but even if any one seriously ; thought of anything so desperate 'it would have been impossible, because no one had any of the deadly stuff, and none could be obtained at that time at the drug stores. The feeling against Sheriff Smith was very bitter, and he was freely denounced for ordering his men to fire before he ordered the riot act read; at least, the I better class of citizens think he should have ordered a volley fired over the heads of the crowd, before mare deter mined measures were ordered. During Sunday’ he was discussed vigorously, and about noon some one went before a ■ justice of the peace and swore out a war- j rant charging the sheriff with murder. | Sheriff Smith was arrested. Detective' Pruitt was also arrested. Both men are , charged with murder, and the charge | grew out of the shooting. Soon after i the warrant charging Sheriff Smith with murder had been sworn out, he was ap prised of the fact. He knew just why the p iper was issued by Justice Winkley, and made no attempt to leave. The paper was plar ed in the h inds of an officer, who found the sheriff at the jail and served it. Smith was anticipating the arrival of the officer, and as he en tered the jail door, remarked pleasantly, “come in.” The officer walked in, and pushing his hand into his pocket, said: “Smith, I .” “Yes, I know what vou want,” said the sheriff. “You want me. You have a warrant for my arrest chaiging me with murder. I ain here.” Sheriff Smith smiled as he spoke and pleasantly extended a hand to the officer. The officer grasped the sheriff’s hand. saying: “I am sorry, but .” “Oh. that makes no difference,” said the sheriff. I have been looking for you. Now that I am your prisoner, what shall I do?” “Remain where you are. Do as you please. Only remain here. lam responsible for you.” Mr. Smith is a youDg man, almost beardless, but he is a man of character and has many friends. May Hawes was buried on Sunday. Her remaines were laid to rest in Oak Grove cemetery. There was no big fun eral, only the undertakers and a few offi cers went out with the l ody. Mrs. Hawes’ body is in a vault at the cemetery. It has been embalmed and will remain in its present.resting place until the inquest is completed. Hawes was interviewed by a newspa per man on Sunday, but his story proved to be a tissue of falsehoods. Fannie Bryant, his washerwoman, was also in terviewed, and her account of her con nection with the affair proved she was not telling the truth. The death asc brought to light has turned the anger of the people upon Mayor Thompson arid Sheriff Smith, and to a great extent taken it away from Hawes. Especially has this feeling been directed towards the sheriff. When it was known that a warrant was out for Smith, some one in a crowd remarked: “He had better stay in that jail than come out.” The declaration was met with great cheers. Detective Pruitt, who Mas arrested, too, is well known. He figured in a big shooting scrape in Arkansas, and has the icputation of be ing one of the coolest men in the world. He takes his arrest calmly, as did the sher iff. Sixteen other warrants have been and are to be sworn out for parties who were at the iail when the assault made. Late Monday night, a negro was ar rested and smuggled into jail under an assumed name and an assumed charge. The negro’s arrest was due to the suppo sition that he had handled a missing trunk. Among other articles missing from the Hawes house, after the woman and children disappeared, was a trunk. That trunk was harder to find than the woman or May, but it is believed that it has been iocated at last. The officers have been searching for the trunk con stantly. In the trunk were some letters belonging to Hawes and some clothing belonging to • his wife. Some of the clothing, which was known to have been in the trunk, was found in an ash pile near the house. An attempt was made to burn the articles, but for some cause it was not entirely successful. On Tuesday morning, the detectives found the trunk. They did not bring the truuk because they don’t think it prudent. But immediately after they reached the city, they went before a jus tice of the peace and swore out warrants for two more negroes, who, it is asserted, handled the trunk. The negroes were arrested and carried to the jail. The de tectives found the trunk on the othej side of Red Mountain, about eight miles from town. It had been secreted in the woods, and near it were found the pieces of a letter. The trunk was securely locked, and when lifted appeared to weigh about eighty pounds. Tbere -was an odor about it which induced the offi cers to believe they had found the body of Irene. Fanny Bryant has made another statement. The woman is weak ening. While talking to her, she said | to an official, “I asked Mr. Hawes on Sunday, where Miss Emma was, and he answered me.” “What did he say?” “He said that she was where she’d never bother him again.” The funeral of Postmaster Throckmorton took place on Monday afternoon from the Church of the Advent. The funeral ceremonies were conducted by Rev. Thomas J. Beard, pastor of the church. The re- I mains were interred in Oak Hill ceme tery, and were buried with military and lodge honors. A detachment of artillery, of which the deceased was at the time of his death captain, and a detachment of the local military esco’tfc'd the remains to the cemetery and fired rr salute over the grave. A large number of the Birming ham Protective Order of Elks of which the deceased was a member, also attend- j ed in a body. A long line of carriages, i filled with friends of the deceased, fol- I lowed the remains to the grave. The j funeral was one of the largest and most impressive ever held in Birmingham. J Notes: Miss Maise Storey, who is* a ] beautiful girl of twenty years, that ! Hawes mariied, has returned to her j home in Columbia, Miss C. Cf Tate and A. J. Brannon, before they died, as serted that they only went with the crowd out of curiosity At the request | of Col. Jones, it is thought Hawes and ■ Sheriff Smith will be removed to the i jail at Montgomery Several more of the wounded men will die Hawes does not seem to be at all disturbed and ' eats his meals with good relish.
