ALExAND
COMPRESS AND WAREHOUSE
COMPANY.

The undersigned respectfully calls to
the attention of the producers and
buyers of cotton, the superior facili-
ties offered by this company for the
storage and handling of cotton, which
are as follows:
A large, commodious and finely con-
structed compress building, connected
with covered yards, all constructed and
arranged in such manner rs to secure
the greatest degree of safety possible,
thereby enabling the company to obtain
the lowest rates of insurance.
Large cisterns, and an elevated tank
constantly kept full OF water, supplied
from well by means Of steam pumps,
and fully supply of hose enabling
them to reach every part Of their prop
erty in case Of fire.
Competent and reliable watchnen
are in charge ut all hours Of both day
and night.
The advantages Of transportation to
and from the compress and warehouse
will he readily appreciated when the
fact is known that the tracks of both
the Texas and Pacific and the South
ern Pacific pass in close proximity to
their platforms, and that the Red River
ind Coast Line Packets have made Al
exandria one of their terminal points.
having established large and commo-
dious wharves and warehouses just
above the limits of the City Of Alex
amdria; said wharves, warehouse and
landings being connected with the
tracks of the +. e. p. r. r. thereby
avoiding entirely the necessity of dray-
age to and from the steamboat landing
and the compress and warehouse.
The charges for storage, handling
and compressing of cotton by this com
pany, will he as reasonable as those OF
the most favored markets of the coun-
try.
The desire and intention of the gen.
tleman connected with the above en-
terprise is to make the City Of Alex
dria such a market for Gotten rs hel
geographical location and her most fa.
vorable facilities, such as are offered
by the River and Railways above men
tened, entitle her to enjoy.

fact that planters and merchants VIII
tried both the New Orleans and Alex

The Publishing and Patent OFF,
ces of the Scientific American.

1Hc IuOllcH1nS OAhu uOCAS OAAA-
ces of the Scientific American.
Perhaps some of our readers
have visited the extensive offices OF
the Scientific American, at 351
Broadway, New York, but many
have not, and to such the following
account may be of interest. A cor
respondent who recently had this
pleasure informs us that he was
greatly surprised at the magnitude
of the establishment. Itsuggested
to his mind an enormous insurance
company or banking house. At the
main office, which is principally de-
voted to the patent business-form-
ing as it does SO important a part
of the establishment may be seen
the members of the firm and their
able corps of examiners. Ready
access to the principals is afforded
to every one; and here may be seen
inventors from all parts of the
country showing their models and
drawings, and explaining their in
ventions. The models left by in
ventors form a large and interest
ing collection, and are kept in a
room by themselves. The large
corps of draughtsmen who prepare
the patent drawings are for the
most part experienced mechanics,
electricians, or engineers, some OF
| them having been connected with
| the u. S. Patent office. Most of
the correspondence is carried on
by type writer's, and this necessi-
tates separate department., where
a number of experienced female
type writer's and stenographers are
constantly employed The dark
room, where the photographs of the
patent drawing are copied, and
where the photographs for the
architectural department are de.
veloped, is also on this floor. On
the floor above may be found the
editorial rooms, compositors' and
subscription room, and the engrav-
ers' department.
i The Architectural department
couples the top Aoor, aud here
may be seen the manager of this
department, and also number ol
draughtsmen at work preparing
the plans and general designs fol
the Architect and Builder edition
of the Scientific American, which
, , is published monthly, and has at
tanned a widespread circulation
The printing of the papers is car
ried on in a separate building. A
the entrance of the main Office
which alone occupies noor spac'
of 60 by 165 feet, may be seen on'
of Prof. Diapers remarkable re
cording barometers, with which
instrument q complete record i
kept of the atmospheric changes
This barometer was built special.
4 for the scientific American, and j
; is remarkably fine and sensitive a
well as a very expensive instru
: ment. Some idea may be had o
the extent of the business done q
the Office of the Scientific Ameri
can when we state that over on
hundred persons are employed b
n Mum & Co., on their several pub
q locations and their extensive paten
n departments.

The Birmingham Tragedy.

The motive that seems to have
actuated the man Hawes in muir
dering his wife and two little girls
at Birmingham, Ala, which caused
the killing by the sheriff and his
posse of SO many good citizens
seems to have been that Dick
Hawes eloped with Miss Emma
Pettus, because she was one of the
three sisters who would shortly in
herit about $4,000 apiece. The
lady bore an irreproachable char
acter as girl, and it was only after
her association with and marriage
to Dick Hawes that she by degrees
lost her self-respect. When her in
fidelity to the nuptial couch was dis
covered in tragic way, Hawes
condoned the offense, because he
had not yet succeeded in getting her
money. He made use of that dis
covery to borrow large sums from
her, which he spent in riotous liv-
ing. Finally he induced the moth
er to make over all the property to
the little boy Willie, of whom the
father should be appointed guar
dian, which gave him full control
of that child.
Nov for the rest Of the story:
Mrs. Hawes had two sisters, younger
than herself, but hopeless victims
to consumption. After these two
sisters the little girls May and
Irene we're named. The sister May
died first, leaving all her property
to her little niece May, and Irene
died later, leaving hers to the other
little girl. These estates were left
to pass into possession Of the heirs
upon their majority. This put il
out Of Dick Hawes power ever to
touch it, for the friends of the two
little girls would see to it that theil
estates should remain intact. II
is easy, therefore, to see that wher
Hawes had wrested all he could
from his wife, and the beauty o.
another tempted him, that he shoulC
seek to get rid of her. The little
boy was not in his way, but tht
two girls were, hence he carefully
sent the boy to Atlanta, while the
little girls found death in the lake
| The jury which was summoned
to investigate the death of Irene
Hawes, returned the following YER
dict: I'VE, the jury, having viewet
the body of the deceased found IL
Lake View on Saturday, Dec. Is
and heard testimony thereon, fint
that the deceased was Irene, sec
ond daughter of r. Il. Hawes, ant
that she came to her death on th'
night of Saturday, Dec. l, at the
hands of her father, and that sucl
killing was unlawfully done"
When Hawes was informed tina
Irene's body had been recovered
he remarked: ''Is that SO? Civ
me cigarette The Jail is strong
ly guarded still.
