HIS DYING CONFESSION.
Dick Ifawo's Statement About killing His
wife and Daughter.

The written confession of Dick
Hawcs, the notorious wife and child
murderer, will never be published in
book form, rs was expected. The
following details, which are contained
III the confession, clear up some Of
the mysteries of the crime, and arc
now made public for the first time.
Hawcs states in the confession
that he did not contemplate the mlr-
dcrs until Friday night before they
were committed on Saturday night.
1t was then his wife refused 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
Oh.
Detectives have hunted in vain for
the conveyance Hawcs was supposed
to have used to remove her body tC
the lake, and his confession clears ur
that part Of the mystery. His wife
and children were induced to drink
liquor until both were intoxicated,
and then, under some prctcXt. they
were taken to the lake and murdered
on the banks, and their bodies were
| thrown in.
They were not killed at the house,
rs it has always been supposed. He
says the negro woman, Fannie Bryant,
who was convicted as his nccomplicc,
assisted him from beginning to end,
and when the bloody work was finish,
ed, they sworc terrible oath never
to bctray each others secret.
The confession admits that Fanny
Bryant told the truth in her tcsti-
mony that Hawcs took little May
from her house on Monday night.
May would have been murdered on
Saturday night, but they could not
induce her to drink the liquor, and
another plan had to be adopted to
get rid of her.
In concluding the confession Hawcs
wrote that he fully deserved the late
in store for him, and he wanted no
one else to die for his crime.

WOMEN LAID BRUlN OUT.
Bravo Fight of Two Molus River Matrons-
Both Unhurt.

VANCEBoRo, Me, July 17.-There is
still little of the old time pioneer
spirit to be found among the women
OF the present day who live in the
sparsely settled regions in this sec
ton.
1t has cropped out no moro plainly
than i'll II thrilling incident at Molus
Kivcr, provincialtown, a few nights
SINCE, Ill which two women were the
hcroincs. Rodcricl1 Mcdonald, who
lives III ono OF the remote parts of the
settlement, was absent from home,
leaving his wife and sister as the sole
defenders OF his household, and most
successfully did they show that they
were able to cope with the task.
just at dusk the two women, who
were busy about their household
| duties, were suddenly attracted by q
believing among the cattle in the
barnyard. They listened for IL mo-
! mcnt and were convinced that the
! noises were those Of tcrrOramOng the
animals.
Without the slightest hesitation
the women armed themselves with
the only weapons at hand, an axe and
a pitchforl, and sailed forth to meet
the foe, and most formidable op-
ponent they found.
Only fow steps had been taken
before they saw an enormous black
bear, who stood aggrcssivcly await
ing them. At either side of him lay
an OK, which had fallen undcr his
heavy blows, while the rest of tho
cattle wcro huddlcd closely in one
corner of tho yard. believing pitoous-
ly i'll their fright. The women lost
no time.
Mrs. Mcdonald, excited at the
sight of the dead animals, rushed at
the bear with u apitchforl and thrust
it deep into his neck. a roar of
mingled anger and pain followed, and
witha sweep of his paw he struck the
weapon from her hands and sent it
rattling Oh the other side of the
yard.
Thc other woman had not been idle
III the meantime, and us the bear
made this movement she strucl. Mt
hlm with an axe, disabling one Of his
forclegs, Mrs. Mcdonald ran for hcl
pltchtOrk, recovered it, and the two
pluclly women then went at bruin with
hammer and tongs. Mrs. Mcdonald
worried him with the pitchfork in
while her companion did deadly exc,
cution with the axe
The battle was short and sharp
and the bear was dead in few mo
mcnts. He was very large and old
and two hunters with rifles would
have considered Inn Il good capture
The women had their clothes badly
torn, but beyond fow scratches anG
the fright, suffered no injury.

A WILD RIDE.

breadth Escape from Death.
JANEsvILLE, Wis, July 1G.-Tho
passengers on the Chicago and North
western express had u wild ride YES
terday while a struggle for life and
death was going on between the fire
man and engineer. On the floor Of
the locomotive cab lay Engineer
Steve Hobctting, powcrlcss in the
grasp of n maniac. The insane man.
his face blackcncd by coal dust, his
clothing stripped from his body, in
the life and death struggle, brandish-
cd wrench, which he had clutchcd
from the engineers tool box. Both
his arms were in the grasp Of the dc
epairing man beneath linn, but the
men on the depot platform ut Cly-
man, one OF the towns through which
the train passed, could see that he
had nearly freed himself, and that
III another moment, unless somo help
should como, the murdcrous blow of
the wretch would fall.
The maniac was Fireman G. L..
Hastings. Near Watcrtown he had
stepped from the cab to the tender
to cool off. He did not return, and
Engineer Hotctting reached back
from his seat, pulled aside the cab
curtain, and looked out. AS the cur .
tain moved aside Hastings bounded
in from the tender and clutchcd the
engineer about the neck, and throw
him headlong to the swaying foot
board. Thorc the two struggled as
the train dashed on at n full rate of
speed.
The engine left without fresh fuel,
was slowly losing steam, but rushed
on at "a rate that could mean nothing
less than fearful tragedy at the first
switch.
AS the train swept past Clyman
without stopping the passengers and
train crew realized that something
was wrong, and party hurried for
ward Writhing and struggling
among the blocks Of coal on the ten
der, they saw the engineer and his
maniac assailant. The latter was
overpowcrcd and taken to tho bag
gage car. A moment after he fain-
ted. Consciousness did not return
until twelve hours had elapsed. The
not Weather is given as tho cause Of
his insanity, and there arc fears that
he cannot recover.

Sweet heaven! You do not spell

But now when You want to spell that
word you place side by side the faces
OF the loved ones who are gone, and
i'll that irridiution Of light and love,
and beauty and JOY YOU spell it out as
never before, in songs and hallelumhs.
Oh, yo whose hearts arc down m-

at the thought of this reunion! Oh!
how much you will have to tell them
when once you meet them. How
much you have been through since
you saw them last! On the shining
shore YOU will talk it all over. The
hcnltGcheS. The loneliness. The
slcepless nights. The weeping until
you had no more power to weep, be
cause the heart was withcrcd and
dried up. Story of vacant chair, and
empty cradle, and little shoe only
half worn out, never to be worn again,
just the shape of the foot that once
pressed it. And dreams when you
thought that the departed had come
back again, and the room seemed
bright with their faces, and you
started up to greet them, and in the
effort the dream broke and you found
yourself standing amid-room in the
midnight-alonc. Talking it all over
and then, hand in hand walking up
and down in the light. No sorrow,
no tears, no death. Oh, heaven!
