DICK HAwEs, CONFESSION.


The Confession of the Alabama Brute
Finally Made Public.
| BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 6. The writ
ten confession of Dick Hawes, the no.
| torious wife and child murderer, will
never be published In book form, as
was expected Last night representa-
tive of the Press News Association
| learned the contents of the confession
and the following details of the crime
which clear up some of its mysteries
are made public for the first time.
Hawcs states in confession that he did
not contemplate the murders until tho
Friday night before they we're COM
pitted. 1t was then his wife re-
fused to leave the city as she had
promised to do, and the plan Of
putting her out of the way for
good was quickly decided upon. De-
tectives have been hunting in vain for
the conveyance Hawes was supposed to
have used to remove her body to the
lake and his confession clears up that
part of the mystery. His wife and child
were induced to drink some liquor until
both were intoxicated and then under
some pretext they were taken to the
lake and murdered on the banks and
| thrown in. They were not killed
at the house, as has always been
supposed. He says negro wom-
an, Fannie Bryant, who was con-
victed as an accomplice, assisted him
from the beginning to the end and when
the bloody work was finished they swore
a terrible oath never to betray each
other. If arrested they swore to die
without betraying each others secret.
The confession admits that Fanny Bry-
ant told the truth in her testimony that
Hawes took little May from her house
Monday night. May would have been
murdered on Saturday night, but they
could not induce her TO drink liquor and
another plan had to be adopted to get
rid OF her. In concluding the confess
sion Hawes wrote that he fully de-
served the fate in store for him and he
wanted no one to die for his crime.

 THE lamentable death of the bril- liant Henry w. Grady bears a les son that every one should learn well, says the Chicago Herald. MT. Grady was by nature leader of men; yet his death shows that he lacked one of the essentials Of a great eader--obedience to authority and to nature's laws of health. He was not well when he left his home for Boston; he was threatened with pneumonia, and had been advis' ed by his physicians not to go; he was cautioned against talking on his journey, and against exposure. In Boston he contracted new cold from exposure, and at Plymouth Rock he stood for some time in the raw atmosphere with head uncover ed-a thing that has carried thous ands and thousands of people tc their graves. Half nation mourns becaus geniuse, too unmindful ol nature. has met his death.

Correspondence of the Democrat.
 Weather much cooler here to day (30th) and yesterday, so people are now not afraid to kill their meat. Much loss has been sustained during the late warm spell, by loss of meat. MT. Marion Hopkins, one of Apple tons best citizens, met with the mis- fortune, last Saturday night, of get t,ng his smoke house and kitchen burned, They were adjoining apart ments and contained all his provis ions, cooking utensils, etc., which were all lost. They stood near his residence, and it was with great eff rort that the neighbors who had gath cred in, saved It. The generous peo pie of Appleton have been contribut ing to Mir. Hopkins since his loss. No cause has as yet been surmised, but that the building took fire from the cook stove.
 The stock of merchandise obtained by Messrs. Blackford x Bailey, of Messrs. Reynolds & Lemley, of this place, will, in all probability, be a costly one.
 Xmas has passed quietly in our little town. Large crowds of people gathered on our streets with httle confusion and no drunkenness nor fussing. We have very quiet and peaceable village, of which we are proud.
 Mir. Kinsey Gray seems to be a happy man since his marriage. Mir. Gray is one of Appleton's foremost young men and has fair prospects for the future. His charming bride has long been one of the belles of Apple ton, but we must give up Miss Dora Montgomery, and greet her with the appellation of Mrs." as they say she has turned quite Gray.
 Wheat crops begin to look quite green during the past warm weather, and farmers are beginning to plow like spring of the year. Also, many peach trees have bloomed, but we gness they realize the fact now. that they were too fast.
 MT. Richard Ham, of Hattieville, is mingling among his many friends at Appleton this week. The girls and b--s are,always glad to see.Dick, for he brings his sister with him.

THE United States does big busi- ness, even in dull times. For the first ten months of 1889 our exports amounted to s7o,0O0,0o0 more than during the same period of 1888. I'm ports increased forty millions. The greatest increase was cotton, ,ofwhich we sent about $33, ,000,0 900 more than the year before; provisions and dairy products $24,000,000; cattle, hogs and sheep $l0.000,oo0; iron and steel man ufactures s3.0o0,000. The increase of imports was principally in coffee, sugar and molasses.

TIE congressional directory of the two houses which has just appeared gives some interesting facts. The youngest member of the house is Mir. Manager, of Brooklyn, who is 29. The oldest member, Gen. Banks, of Massachusetts, is 73. The two branches of congress contain 96 members who served in the union army or navy, and 7S who served in the confederate army. Of the 4lS members and delegates, lS9 had col legiate education, though not quite all of them graduated. This does not include a considerable number who describe their education as aca- demic, or who fitted for college, but never entered, and five who gradu- ated at commercial colleges. An immense majority of the whole num- Der graduated at law schools.
