HAWEs WILL HANG.
Feb. % Fixed as the Date of the
Execution.

FEB. 2S Fixed as the Date of the
Execution.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, Jan. 13.-To-day
the supreme court of Alabama rendered a
decision in the celebrated Hawes case, ap-
pealed from the Jefferson criminal court
hawes murdered his wife and two little
girls in Birmingham last December, year
ago. His crime was the occasion of an
assault on the Jail of Jefferson county by
mob, into which the sheriff fired and killed
a number of men, including Postmaster
Throckmorton of Birmingham.
HaweS was tried and convicted of murder
in the first degree, and sentenced TO be
hanged last July. The case was appealed
on a special plea for change of venue and
new trial. The supreme court affirms the
judgment of the criminal court of jefferson
county, and, the date of the original SEN
tence having expired, fixes Feb. 2S as the
date of execution. The opinion Of the court
was rendered by Justice j. N. Mcclellan.
WILL ASK A REHEARING.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Jan. 13.-Col. Talli-
ferro, leading counsel for Dick Hawes.
says he will ask for rehearing of his ap-
peal TO the supreme court; that failing, he
will go to the federal courts, and ask for a
writ of habeas corpus under the fourteenth
amendment of the constitution of
the United States, which guarantees
every man trial by due process
of law. This claim is that after the jury
was duly impanelled and Hawes put in
jeopardy of his life, one juror was let off
an account Of sickness of his wife and
another substituted. This, says the defense,
admits the discharge of prisoner whose trial
by this jury was not by due
process of law, aud accordingly,
violative of the constitution Of the United
States
The decision of the state court was
awaited with great anxiety here, and there
is Il general feeling OF relief and satiSfac.
ton at the result Hawes received the
news without losing his sslf-possession, and
asked that no one, especially newspaper
rauorters be allowed to WorrY him.

only to say that was supported through
out by the best of people in Macon and
throughout Georgia, and that 1 will try to

flee how l appreciate their support. There is
no question in the Senate as to my con-

say that it will never elevate him to the
supreme bench, as he has hoped it would.

tor, who has been for some months giving
earnest consideration TO the amelioration of
the condition Of the Apaches, who have
been held as prisoners of war since Geronimo
and his band surrendered to Gen. Miles, to-
day submitted his conclusions to the presi-
dent In two suggestions; one, the purchase
OF a tract OF land in the mountainous region
of Western North Carolina, or one of the
adjacent states; the other, that the
consent OF congress be requested for
their transfer to some point in the Indian
territory, proposing that If such transfer be
authorized TO locate them at Fort Sill tenn
porarily, with the view to their final settle
ment on the Kiowa, Commanche, and Apache
reservation. if satisfactory negotiations can
bs consummated with these confederated
tribes.
The latter suggestion has the ap-
proval of the Secretary Of war.
and he recommends its adoption.
This is in harmony with the views Of Mai
Gen. Crook and Lieut.. Guy Howard, who,
under instructions of the Secretary Of War,
have recently visited the Apache prisoners
at Mount Vernon barracks, Alabama, where
they have been held in custody, and who
report as follows:

scouts, in which they rendered valuable and
loyal service. Banishment and imprisonment
have been their reward. These Indians have
had all the desire for war taken out Of them,
and now only desire term in some locality
where they can find more healthful climate,
and learn the ways of the white men.

SINGULAR STATE OF AFFAIRS.
How an Insolvent Chicago Furniture
Firm Did Busin ess.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-The examination into
the assets of r. Deirnel g. Bros, in
solvent furniture dealers, was taken up
this morning. The most peculiar state of
affairs, which Attorney Mayer designates
as stupendous frauds, was brought out.
Altogether about S120,000 worth Of assets
were discovered, and an order of
court will be asked, restraining sew
eral holders from disposing of any
of the goods until further orders. These
discoveries increase the tangible assets to
about 100000, but it Is said that the liabil-
tiles have also increased and are now sup
posed to be $4,000 Instead of 100000, as
at first estimated. 1t is claimed that the
firm has been practically insolvent since last
July, and has continued to purchase goods,
on which they have borrowed money and
which they have never paid for.
