Fine Entertainment.

The entertainment at the City Hall on
Wednesday evening will be the best exhibit
ton given in Portland this season, so those
who have witnessed the rehearsals affirm.
In addition to Portland talent engaged, a
well known Boston lady has volun-
teered her services. which will add much to
the attractions. Instead of chemical lights
which are so disagreeable to the audience on
account of unpleasant fumes from them,
colored glass will be used which will be a
great improvement in many respects. No
one should fail to witness this unique enter
tainment which will be of literary, musical
and dramatic character.

LAW IN BIRMINGHAM.
Ten Lives Lost in an Attempt to Lynch
Murderer.

Murderer.
At Birmingham. Ala, on the Sth, a
crowd which had been collected on
the streets for several hours, at mid
night advanced on the county Jail with
the intention OF lyuching Il. Il. Hawes,
charged with the murder of his wife
and child. Many leading citizens tried
to reason with the crowd and prevent
trouble and some lost their lives in the
attempt. When the crowd was within
few feet of the jail door and had lajled
to heed numerous warnings, the officers
opened fire on them, killing three men
instantly, fatally wounding seven and
wounding EiOTe or less seriously about
thirty others.
dispatch of the 9th says: The trag-
edy which led to this bloodshed was
tiendish one. The body of May Hawes
was found in the early part of the
week, but several days elapsed before
it was identified. Then it was learned
that her mother was also missing, and
ii was suspected that she also WAS muir
dered. This suspicion was confirmed
yesterday by searching the Hawes cot
tage and finding blood stains IN every
room. At noon the body of the
missing woman was found at the
bottom of a lake in the park, hall mile
from the cottage. The head of tue dead
woman had been crushed in by blow
with an ak and the body was kept at
the bottom of the lake 10y 200 pounds of
iron fastened about the neck, feet and
waist.
Circumstances pointed strongly to
Dick Hawes as the murderer of his
daughter and he was arrested two or
three days ago. The finding OF the body
of his wife increased the bitter feeling
against HIM and lett little doubt but
that an attempt would be made to lynch
him

THE BOSTON WOMEN.
The biggest rurp9nt At "a Tub City tle
tion Tor Tears,


tion for Tears.
The details OF the city election in
Boston on the ] ith are given in dis
patch OF that date as follows: To-dav's
election closed one OF tie most exciting
municipal campaigns ever carried on
IN tins city. Bitter personalities have
characterized all sides, and especially
has this been the case in the discussion
OF the public school question. the pIin-
cipal issue of the campaign. This issue
was brought before the people last sum
mer by the school board in the removal
itom the public schools of certain text
book, which contained statements dis
tasteful 10 the Catholic clergy. Be-
heNlng that IN this action they
saw an entering wedge by which Cath
Ole supremacy in the control OF the
publlc schools was to be ultimately OBJ
talaed, the friends of the public
schools have had frequent meetings 10
protest against such interference and
public feeling has been wrought no TO
the highest pitch. 4 mass meeting was
held IN FaneuiI lltll, and as the ou.-
come OF 1t committee of 100, irrespec-
tive of party, was appointed to prepare
u list OF school committee members for
lection to-day that should contain only
the names of persons who were known
TO be friends OF the public school s. $
tenn"
The unusual interest aroused in this
question was most noticeable among the
women voters, and is shown bv the
TACT that, while only S37 women were
registered for the municipal election
last year and only 725 voted, the total
re- lstratlon this year reached 20.2i6.
The school board consists of twenty
four members, of whom eleven were
elected to-day. OF the thirteen mem
berS who hold over, eight are OF the
Catholic faith, and it being held bv the
Republican convention tLat this is a
sufficient representation OF that sect uu-
ON the board, the ticket presented by
the Republicans to-day contained the
names of no Catholics whatever. The
Republican ticket Was endorsed by a
q liens committee Of one hundred.
The Democrats, on the contrary, renom-
mated the three retiring Catholic mem
bers
Miss Caroline Hastings. NJ. D.. was
renominated by the Republicans, the
citizens and the committee OF one
hundred, but was dropped bv the
Democrats. who named instead Mrs.
Isabella {. BarroWs, vile of the editor
of the Christian Register Rabbi Solo
mon SCHNEIDER was the only candidate
whose name appeared on all the tickets.
All tickets were badly scratched, ana
this, with the fact that the vote for
committee Is so much larger than ever
before, viii make It very late before
definite results can be known, except
for mayor, the Republican being
elected.
Owing to the fierce contest which has
been waged on the eschoolqUestion, even
the struggle for the mayoralty between
Hart and O'Brien has assumed second
ary Importance. Hart, the Republican
candidate was endorsed by the citizens
movement. He has run several times
for mayor and is finally successful. The
probability, at a late hour, is that the
c mplete Republican ticket for school
committee as endorsed by the Commit
tee OF One Hundred Is also elected.
