 A daughter was born to Senator and Mrs. Hawley at their street residence, Saturday evening, December 1. The sen- ator was H2 on the 31st of October, and this is his first experience of genuine fath- erhood, though the first Mrs. Hawley, who had lovely maternal heart, adopted three children at various times in her married life, one of whom, her orphan niece, little Margaret, now in her eighth year, is an affectionate charge to the senator and his present wife. Several of his intimate friends in the senate have received notes from him to-day announcing the joyous episode in his domestic history. It will be inter esting tomorrow to see his grave and el- derly brethren offer him their congratula- tions in the senate chamber. The death of the first Mrs. Hawley, who was first cousin of Henry Ward Beecher, occurred at Washington during the session of the forty eighth congress, and the senate ad- iourned for the day upon information of the sad intelligence. It was the first time in its history that it had adjourned for the death of woman. Also, the flags of her state capital were half-masted for her, in tribute to her hospital services for Union soldiers and to her popularity as gover- nor's wife. The present Mrs. Hawley has also high record. She wears the medal of her Queen (Victoria) for services in English hospitals, and came to this country some five years ago, with the lamented Alice Fishe, for hospital duty in the Block ley Almshouse, Philadelphia.
 Saturday morning William Ackert, fore man painter, fell from the new Manhattan bridge over the Harlem into the river, a drop of 145 feet. Then, after getting dry clothes, he went back to work on the big span as though nothing had happened. II had possession of my thoughts all the way down" he told New York Sun fe- porter next day, 'tand wondered if would feel 1t when struck the spiles below, and if would be killed. Just before I struck the water could see the spiles. l saw that would not strike them. I turned over twice in the descent and struck the water head down, with my hands stretched out before me, as though I were diving. The water was onl y about three feet deep, and the tide was going out. My hands and arms wentinto the mud. had apair of big gloves on, and when pulled my arms out of the mud the gloves stayed there.
 General Chalmers of Mississippi reports that, in the course of recent talk at In- dianapolis, General Harrison said to him {: There is no such thing as a southern question. So far as I am concerned, while l am president, I shall only insist that the people of the whole country shall obey the laws of the nation, without reference spec ially to the section of the country they may live in. It is an insult to me for the south ern people to think that it is my desire to deal harshly with them. It would also be an insult to them for me to anticipate that they do not expect to obey the laws as they exist.
 There is no better way to remind an old and absent friend that he is not forgotten than by sending him The Press. Its weekly visits will be appreciated, and it will serve to keep old memories renewed throughout the year. Only $1.25.

 Hranek, Chicago anarchist, who made bombs, carried them in his pocket, openly talked about assassinating the judge who sentenced anarchists to be hung, as well as talked freely about other murderoug schemes, has been sentenced to 12 years imprisonment. Most of the jury favored 8 longer sentence. At secialistic gather ing, held on recent Sunday, just outside the Chicago city limits, tableaux was shown when a socialist trampled under foot the stars and stripes, and waved high the blood red flag of anarchy. The gath ering gave vent to it's wild enthusiasm in shouts in twenty different languages-all foreign.
