would not allow him to say that he be-
lieved the denial of the Marquis of Sails
bury. [Cheers from the Parnell party.l
Mr.. Morley here suggested that this sub
ject be dropped and the House proceed to
other business.
FIGHTING To A FINISH.
W. H. Smith demanded that the House
should express an opinion on the motion.
notwithstanding the withdrawal, and should
say that the motion was improper and the
charges false. The vote against MIR.
Laboucheres motion was 163 to so.
t. p. OConnor. continuing the debate.
said he knew the name that Mr.. Labouchere
had offered to give to Sir Richard Webster,
and it was one that carried conviction as to
the correctness of the statements that had
been made.
w. II. Smith called upon Mr.. O'Connor
to give the name in the interests of justice.
THE NAME STILL SECRET.
Mr.. O'Connor declined upon the ground
that the name had been impaired TO him in
confidence.
Charles Hall, member for Cambridge,
declared that Lord Arthur Somerset was
prepared to quit London before his inter-
view with Sir Dighton Probyn. The Mar
quis of Salisbury admitted that Sir Dighton
Probyn had previously advised Lord Ar
thur Somerset to clear his char tcter, but
denied any other communication.
Other members having demanded a COM
mittee Of inquiry, Mr. Smith, on behalf of
the government, declined to allow persons
against whom there was no evidence to be
pilloried and gibbsted, and perhaps ruined
for life. He claimed the Judgment of the
House on Sir Richard Webster s answer.
A motion to report progress was lost by
vote of POP to 80.
The chairman then put Mr.. Labouchere's
amendment proposing q reduction Of the
credit, and w. II. Smith moved closure.

under closure, proposed by another mem-
Der, Mr.. Labouchere's amendment was re-
jected by vote of 206 to 66.

tion from citizens OF Taber county, Missis-
sippi for free coinage of silver, and in do
ing so expressed the hope (satirical ly) that

FLORIDA INDIAN LANDS.
The resolution heretofore offered by Mr..
Call, in reference to lands in Florida,

sular Railroad Company, was taken up,
discussed by him at much length, and re-
ferred to the committee on public lands.

pension committee, explained that it was
the same bill, verbatim, as had passed

KINCAID SEEN IN JAZZ.
Judge Kincaid was seen by an Associated
Press reporter about 9 o'clock this evening
at the New Jersey avenue police station.
de had almost wholly recovered from the
nervous excitement which he had exhibited
at the time of the shooting. He received
the sympathies and offers of assist
ance which his many callers
extended with perfect composure
and evident thankfulness. A friend who
called early in the evening assured Judge
klncaid that he would be pleased to qualify
as one OF his bondsmen in case he was
needed.I
THE PRISONERS LAWYER
In obedience to instructions from Judge
=. Morris Smith. a well-known LAWYER of
this city, who was Immediately retained to
conduct his defense, Judge Kincaid declined
10 make any statement for publication.
further than to say that the statement
which has gained some currency that he
approached Taulbee from behind and
fired without giving him any warning
was absolutely false. This statement is
also denied by others who were near when
the shot was fired. 1t is stated by Judge
klncaid's friends that Taulbee had re-
peatedly assaulted him, besides using ex-
tremely insulting Language toward him.
From the number and prominence of the
people who called at the station house this
evening to offer their aid in case it was
needed it is evident that Judge Kincaid is
not without friends in Washington.

The Memorable Attack on the Jail
Graphically Recalled.
The Hawes murder cases will 90 down in
criminal Jurisprudence as the causns cetebre

themselves aud the attendant loss of val
liable lives at the Jail riot in the vain
effort OF an infuriated community to wreak
summary vengeance upon the incarnate
fiend who coldly murdered his wife aud in
nocent little. daughters for lust's sake, has
no parallel In modern crimes. A brief
summary will be of interest.

On the morning of Tuesday, Dec 4. 1883,
while rowing across East Lake, six miles
from this CITY, In a small boat, two boys
discovered the dead body Of a girl, appar-
emily about IL years Of age, floating in the

communicated their information to several
men who were at the pavilion. A man
went out in another boat and brought the
body to shore. 1t was that Of a 12-year-oid
white girl, but no one could identify her.
No information regarding the dead girl
could be obtained at the lake, and Coroner
Babbitt was summoned.

jury followed. After the body had been
at the undertaker's sho Az this CITY for
two days, and had beCn viewed by thou
sands Of persons, including all the children
in the public schools of the city, it was
finally identified by an old negro woman as
that of May Hawes, daughter Of Richard
X. Hawes, a locomotive engineer on the
Georgia Pacific railroad. The coroner then
began inquiring as to the whereabouts
Of Hawes. The house where he resided.
near the old Lakeview ball park
was found, but its inmates were gone.
Hawes had had wife and three children.
but now mono of them were to be found.
In the house. furniture, window curtains,
etc., were scattered, AID things generally
torn up. Bloody spots were discovered on
the floor and walls. A horrible suspicion
was at once aroused It was that Hawes
had murdered his entire family and escaped.
HAwEs REMARKED.
On tho night Of Dec. il was learned In
the city that Hawes had that afternoon ia
Columbus, Miss, been married TO a young
lady named Miss Mayes Story, and would

A German girl, Fraulein Johanna
Maestricll, is just now the heroine of the
hour at Lisbon. She was born near Der
lin, but when child went with her pa
rents to Portugal. When she was II an
impresario, struck with her size and
beauty, offered to train her as female
bull fighter. The agent sent his pupil,
who is not yet 30, to compete at the show
of female beauty which took place last
spring at Lisbon, where she carried off
the first prize. The advertisement proved
an excellent one, for ever since the i'm
presario has been bombarded with let
ters from persons Of all classes wishing
to know when the beautiful "torera" is
to make her debut.
She has not yet appeared in an arena,
but recently she same out in Il trial fight
at Oporto. A huge crowd collected to
see the unusual sight. The young wo-
man quickly laid two bulls in the sand
and rode off followed by band of mu-
sic, amid thunders of applause. Crowds
of people collected before the windows
of the hotel at which the "torera" was
staying, and far into the night she was
obliged to appear on the balcony in re-
Spouse to their calls for her.
