 THE END OF IT.

This weeks letters and press dispatches from Charleston, S.. O., indicate that the verdict of acquittal which turned Captain Dawson's murderer loose again upon socie- | ty, to plot fresh seductions and perhaps take other lives, has not ended the case. It is not operating as an act of amnesty and oblivion. The story is to. be contin- ued.
 The substance of the significant resolu- tions adopted by the Ministerial Union of the city has rlready been given in The Courant. In the meeting that passed them the Protestant Episcopal, Methodist Epis- copal, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptlst and Huguenot churches were represented, and | it is understood that next Sunday nearly all the Charleston pastors will further ex. press themselves in their pulpits on the subject. The fact that the murdered man was Roman Catholic, while the murderer is nominally Protestant and has pew ID Lutheran house of worship, will not les. sen the weight of their utttfauUes with the Charleston public.
 It is matter of common report that all the jurors were 'sseen" before or during the trial, and that one of them Ca white man. who has been drunk ever since was heard to say in bar-room on the night after the acquittal that the gentleman who made the closing argument for the state might as well have eyed his breath as they had agreed on their verdict the day before.
 The New York Sun is informed by its Charleston correspondent that Dr. McDow | the murderer, has resumed his infamous pursuit of the pretty Swiss maid, and that the murdered mans widow has asked police protection. The McDow and Dawson prem ises are so near that talk can readily be carried on between the back piazzas of the two houses, and this Dr. McDow is said to have attempted Wednesday afternoon The maid Marie at once told Mrs. Dawson and at the latter's request an officer has been detailed to sentry duty.
 During the trial Captain Dawson's s news paper, the News and Courier, printed the testimony and arguments of the counse without word of comment. For some days after the trial it contented itself witt reprinting the comments of other newspa pers on the verdict. Now, however, it hal broken this self-imposed silence. "Wt doubt,' it says, "that, under the circum stances, the result would have been differ ent if, in his confession, Dr. Mellow haG admitted that he shot his victim in tho back as he was leaving the office. In view of the result of the trial, the defendanti attorney might have saved the state tho unutterable shame of this judicial travesty had they moved to squash the indictmen for murder upon the ground that there wal no statute of South Carolina providing that the killing of F. w. Dawson was { punishable offense"
 Evidently the end is not yet.

The Springfield Republican says of a former Stafford Springs Congregational pastor: Rev. Winfield s. Hawkes. of Salt Lake City, Utah, superintendent of Con- gregational home missions for that and neighboring territories, but formerly pas- tor of the South Hadley Falls Congrega- tional church, and for g long time secre- tary of the Valley Congregational club, was married at Worcester, Wednesday (1Oth) to Miss Mary B. Pease of that city. A large number of friends and relatives witnessed the ceremony, which was per- formed by Rev. Thomas B. Babb of West Brook6eld, assisted by Rev. Dr. William Kinkaid of New York. Mrs. Hawkes. has been engaged in missionary work, having spent about six years in Arizona and Utah. After short wedding trip MT. and Mrs.
 Hawkes. will return to Utah to continue their good work among the Mormons. The good wishes of many friends in this vicinity will follow them in their new rela- tions aas.. z.
 It is pity that something cannot be done to arrest the destruction of our beau tiful water lilies. This year the cove is abloom with them, as it used to be in form CT years. The small boy is after them, and none will go to seed even if any plants are allowed to remain. Every pond in the vicinity is 'skinned" as fast as the flowers appear. The average small boy who gath CTS them has no aesthetic taste, and grati. fies no propensity in their gathering save that of destructiveness. He sells few, the rest do no one any good, and to most people they look prettier on the waters surface than after being torn up. They would spread rapidly if given chance.

About week ago notice was given that
tropical hurricane was passing over the
Little Antilles, and moving from the south
east of the Island of Santa Cruz towards
the north of Porto Rica aud St Domingo
1t was then presumed that II would proba-
bly, soon turn in its course and move north
ward along our coast, giving what the
sailors call dirty weather - oil Cape Hat

All this as indicated seems to have oC-
Cured, aud our Atlantic coast has been
visited by a most severe storm accom-
panied by an unusually high tide. doing
an immense amount of damage. Tho sig
nal service must be credited for giving
notice of what was to be expected; thanks
TO the wires of wonder which now stretch
across lands and beneath seas. The months
weare living in are termed in the West In-
dies the hurricane season = this season
lasts from the 18th of July 10 the 18th of

however. all dwelling houses aud houses
on plantations are constantly kept III II
state of preparation, in order that at II mo
ments warning doors and windows may
be properly fastened and barricaded so as
to meet the fierce onslaught OF the wind.
Indications of an approaching hurricane
are clearly discernable the sky, otherwise

appreciated, lor it is enough to disturb
the strongest nerves. The hurricane winds
generally assume strange freaks for in

South American Republics.

European journals of influence have
commented upon the approaching
congress of representatives of American
nations, and several express fear that il

agree that it bodies no good to European
trade with South America, "A large part
Of which seems TO belong naturally to
the United States. Mr.. Blaine's repu-
tation may be credited with the most
absurd Of these alarms, for the notion
that dreams of extended empire should
be the motive power of statesmen is only
too familiar in Old World politics. TO
Americans the most curious thing about
this congress will be the widely different
varieties of government that will there
be represented as republics. The United
States Of Colombia, for example, is under
the rule Of a president who has, in theory
et least, as absolute power as the ear Of
Russia. He can punish his enemies
