MANIFOLD CYCLIC
PEDIA.

The issue Of the tenth volume calls
attention to the rapid progress which
this excellent popular cyclopedia is
making. The publisher promised the
volumes at intervals of about a
month; he is recently more than
keeping his word. The volume ex-
tends from Cesmography to Debry,
contains about $40 pages and about
100 illustrations, handsomely printed
and neatly bound in cloth, all for so
cents! The Manifold is more COM
prehensive than any other cyclope-
dia except Casselrs (Which costs sew
eral times rs much,) including an
unabridged dictionary Of the English
language IN additionto ordinary cy-
clopedia matter, and though many of
he articles are necessarily brief,
they are sufficiently full for practical
people, and some articles are surpris-
ingly extended for ainstce Cot
ton occupies 26 pages; Crannogs, 8
pages; Crusades, 6 pages; Darwin
and Darwiniau Theory, 17pages, and
so on. 1t would be strange indeed if
a cyclopedia of such great merit,
published at cost so surprisingly low,
did not reach an enormous circula-
ton. A specimen volume may
ordered and returned it not wanted.

BIRMINGHAM.
All Quiet In the Iron City.
The Verdict Of the COrOner's
Jury.

BIRMINGAM, Ala, December 13.-The
jury of the inquest in the Hawes murder
mystery has returned verdict, which
states in effect that Emma Hawes, wife
Of R. r. Hawes, came to her death Sat,
urday night, December lst, from a
wound in the head inflicted by her hus-
band, R. R. Hawes. Also that Fannie
Bryant and Albert Patterson were ac-
cessories to the crime. Also that May
Hawes was murdered on Monday night,
December 3rd, by her father, R. R.
Hawes.
Hawes expressed no surprise at the
verdict. He said he expected it. He
saidhe had made no confession, would
make none, and had none to make. He
continues to assert his innocence, and
says something will transpire to prove it..
When asked to explain where he left
May on Monday night, he replied that
his lawyers had instructed him not to
talk.
1t has been learned that when Hawes
went to Columbus, Miss, to marry Miss
Story, he left at the barber shop his
soiled clothing, which he said he would
call for. The clothes, so the report goes.
have been examined, and that blood
stains were found on them.
Sheriff Smith has been rearrested on
several warrants chareing!him with muir
der. His friends stand ready to 20 on
his bond in any amount.

The Government Building.

About ferty laborers are swinging
pick and shovel with a steady stroke
each day on the government building
grounds and dozen wagons are en-
ployed removing the earth after excava
ton.
In some places the laborers strike
huge pieces of rock which must be blast
ed and quarried out. This rock will be
utilized for building the foundations of
the government structure. We noticed
squad of carpenters at work on the
grounds yesterday erecting temporary
Offices, one for the superintendent of the
building, and another for the contractors.
If the winter be as open as it promises,
there will be no cessation of work on
Uncle Sans building.

Thlrty-fonr Persons Drowned.
San Francisco, Aug. 22.--The Oceanic
from Hong Kong and Oklahoma ran into
the Coast steamer City of Chester in a
heavy fog in tho Bay Of San Francisco this
morning. The Oceanic struck the Chester
on the port side, at the gnngway. Tho
shock was terrific, and the prov cut into
the Chestar's upper works and then
crushed down 10 the bulwarks, tearing
great tlmbcrs and iron plates and break
ing into state-rooms and cabins. Tho
widest confusion prevailed among passen-
gers. The passengers crowded together,
some shrioking with fear and others pray
ing for help. The bow OF the Oceanic
crashed into the middle section OF the
Chester, cutting her almost into halves.
Torrents Of water rushed into hor hold,
and in FIVE minutes after the collision the
Chester disappeared and sank In fifty
fathoms OF water. The greatest loss OF life
Is believed 10 have occurred among the
storage passengers, Of whom there were
twenty three aboard. Only two OF these
were accounted for late this afternoon,
and il is believed the others were lost
They were in the hold or lower decks
OF the steamer at tho time OF the collision,
and there was no opportunity TO warn
them Of danger or render them any assist

numbered seventy, and Of these ten are

ST. MART1HsyILLE, La, Aug. H.-An
encounter between negroes and whites oc-
Cured on Tuesday afternoon ON Bayou
Martin, nine miles above st. Martinsville.
The whites had heard that the negroes
were arming themselves with rifles, which
had been secreted in the house Of negro
named Albert Narcisse. About 25O whites
surprised Narcisse and his brother work
ing in field. The two negroes ran to the
house and attempted to barricadeit. They
were fred npon and compelled to surren-
der, after Narcisse and ten-year-old boy
had been shot. Thirty guns, all now, and
heavily loaded with buckshot, were found
in the cabin. 1t is not known what was
done with the two men captured. Trouble
between the whites and blacks is also
feared above Breaux Bridge, as the whites
have called upon the negroes to surrender
their arms, which they have lately been
getting together.

OF which are taken by Chinese merchants
here, The somewhat formidable epistle

FIRE AND DEATH.


A scourge Passing Through Michigan
Many Homes Destroyed and the Red De-
mon stu Recommendations Being
Deserted.
IsHPEMNG, MICH, Aug. 26.-Extensive
forest fires are raging along the line OF the
North h-western road between this city and
Marquette, and great damage is reported.
The information brought in is very meager,
but 1t is known that in the majority of the
small villages and hamlets along the line
of the road the people have been forced to
flee for their lives, in many cases losing
every thing they possessed in the world.
One family Of seven, that of James
Carter, near Nadeen, is said to have
been wiped out entirely. The family
consisted Of Carter, his wife, mother and
four children. Nadeen Is said to have
been almost entirely destroyed, as also
Carney. Both places contained but a few
inhabitants. The fires were evidently
started about Friday evening, and are said
to have been caused by farmers near Car
ney. The heat Is intense and the smoke
from the blazing forests so universal that
the sky has been darkened for hundreds Of
miles around. A report from Sand Beach
Mich, four hundred miles from here, says
the sky is obscured jlere, rendering navi.
cation on the lake difficult as well as dan.
gerous.

Of burning Paper Mill-A Wisconsin
Horror.
NKENAH, WIS, Aug 23.-At 1880 last
evening the large paper mill owned by
George Whiting, situated between this
city and Menasha, was destroyed by fire.
While the burning structure was surrounds
ed by crowd Of spectators the battery OF
boilers exploded, The roof and the walls
were thrown outward, sending shower OF
bricks and timber among the spectators.
Eighteen persons were killed, seven fatally
injured and number less seriously
hurt, several Of whom will die. The
mill was a three story structure,
built four years ago at cost Of 100000,
and was operated day and night, When
the flames broke out about fifty men were
In the building. The fire alarm brought
several hundred people TO the spot, who
crowded ns close TO the burning building
as the intense heat would permit II was
about 1880, while the building was mass
OF flames, that tho explosion occurred
without warning There was q
moment of silence and then cry
of horror went up from the multi
tude. The first strong impulse tof fly from
possible further danger was soon over
come and hundreds began the work Of re-
covering the bodies OF the dead aud res
cuing and caring for tho injured. Body
after body was found crushed and man
gled by the great tlmbers and masonry al
most beyond recognition, and then re-
moved to the city hall Tho injured
were carried 10 neighborlng residences
or TO their homes as soon as their identity
could be established.
