The Hawesville Tragedy.
Lowe Murdered i'm Jail.

The soil of Kentucky is red with the
blood Of men who died in fair Combat.
and those who have been buchered in cold
blood. But of tie latter we know of no
case more atrocious than the assassination
of Thomas S. Lowe. in the Hawesville
Jail, yesterday. by blood thirsty and cow
ardly mob.
A fued had existed for year between
Lowe and Cieeor Maxwell, Common wealth a
Attorney of that Judicial District. which
had its origin in party politics. Lowe sent
his adversary challenge sometime since,
which he refused to notice. Lowe then
sent him word he would cowhide him
on sight Maxwell did not attend Court
at last term, and it is said for the reason
he Nished to avoid personal conflict
with his determined and desperate foe.
The Court met on Tuesday, and Lowo
publicly declared Maxwell poltroon and
coward. The information was given to
Maxwell, who armed himself and with a
body offriends, attacked Lowe. The latter.
as we related yesterday. retreated. A
number of shots were fired, one of which
killed a man named Aldridge. or Eskring
Lowe was thought for while the mob
would lynch him. but finally he was taken
to prison and disarmed.
The town was fsvarish with excitement,
and on Wednesday night. the mob. who
of course hated Lowe. (mobs always hate
brave men) increased in numbers and the
thirst for blood. During the night it was
decided to force the Jail and lynch Lowe,
or if they couldn't approach him. kill him
outright.
On yesterday morning. in accordance
with tie plans, the mob attacked the Jail.
and fearing to lay hands upon their victim,
fred upon him. He received some sixteen
or eighteen balls in vital parts, and died
Glutted with vengeance, the mob then
retired.
Lowe leaves family who re.ide in
Hawesvlle. His father lives in this city.
He was cool, determined and most dan
gerOus man. In all of his brols or shoot
ing affairs. from which until this, he came
out unscathed. he displayed an extraordip-
airy degree of courage, and he doubtless
died as he lived, without fear Of fmortal man

1t has been stated that young man
named Starks was murdered in Newcastle,
Bottetourt county. Va, on the l4lh inst.
by a woman named Polly Tucker. A cor
respondent of the Salem Register says:
'Yoang Sparks. who was partially intox-
icated, went to the house ofa Miss Polly
Tucker. and knocked at tho door, desiring
admittance. which was refused He then
went to a window, and raised the sash,
and put his head through. and in n good hu
NOR way threatened to enter the house in
that way. Miss Tucker. it seems, had an
axe in her hand. and threatened to strike
him with it. He laughingly told her to
strike away, which she did with fatal effect.
striking him with the pole Of the axe i'm
mediately on the top of the head. inflicting
a mortal wound He lived about six hours,
and died apparently without much pain
He did not speak after the blow was given
1t was one of the most deliberate and cold
blooded murders ever perpetrated. The
murderess has since asserted that she had
the axe ready for two weeks for that pur-
pose, and that she committed this murder
coolly and deliberately. 1t has created an
intense excitement in this community. He
was the only child ofhis mother, who is
utterly prostrated in consequence Of the
murder Of her son. and it is beloved she
cannot long survive the awful deed
