Before the black cap was adjusted Halves
spoke briefly. He called newspaper man,
shook hsuus with him and forgavc him for
all false statements against him. He then
handed an Age Herald man a written cor
fession and asked that it he published.
Hawes stated that he was guilty aud suf-
fcrcd Justly. that whiskey and bad wa.

DIR. NORVIN GREEN
He AND POSTMASTER GENERAL WANA
MAKER BOTH MEET BEFORE A
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.
TESTIMONY ON POSTAL TELEGRAPH
Green Says the Government Cant Kun inc
Wires Any Cheaper than the
We tern Union.

WASHINGTON, Feb. pa number OF per
sons interested in postal telegraphy assem-
bled in the room Of the house postomce
committee this morning to listen To Ut.
Norvin Green, president OF the western
Union Telegraph company. Postmaster
General Wanamaker, Assistant Attorney
General Timer and representatives OF the
different telegraph companies were present.
Dr. Green began his remarks by discussing
the merits and dement's of the European
governmental telegraphy system. de SAID
that while in some instances their charges
were lower than those in the United States
they were conducted at a loss. He pre-
scented tables showing that the domestic
companies had $4,000 stations and handled
over 60,0O,00O messages annually, as
against $1,000 stations and l73,0N,OOO mes
sages in the rest of the world. They had
more than half of the entire mileage of the
world. The Western Union controls ten
elevenths of this business. Its stock was
held by $500 persons in the United States
and 1141 of them were females.
DR.. Green believed that the. United States
government had no business with the man
agement of the telegraph system and could
not manage it as Cheaply 1t could not do
1t better and none Of the senders of tele-
grams had asked for it. IL was proposed to
make a rate of half of the cost of sending
messages and the deficiency would have to
be made up by the 57OJO,UUO who did not
use the telegraph. The receipts of the New
York offices of the Western Union included

been divorced from his wife and she had
gone away. The children, he said, had
been placed in a convent at Mobile and he
was at loss to understand how Mays
body came to be found where it was.
The palpable improbabllity Of such q
story convinced those who heard his state
ment that he had murdered his family.
BY direction of the coroner, the lake was
drained and the bodies Of Mrs. Halves and
little Irene were found Oh the bottom. The
finding OF Mrs. Hawes' corpse inflamed the
public mind to a state OF frenzy. All
efforts OF the press of the city and county
authorities to allay the excitement we're fu-
tile. The Jail was stormed by 900 persons,
determined to lynch the murderer. The
sheriff ordered them to halt, but the mob
replied with cries of derision and pressed
forward. An order was given TO the guard
to fire, and the volley resulted in the killing
of ten persons and the wounding of many
more. The spirit of the mob was broken
and it never returned to the attack, contrary
to the expectation of the authorities, who
had in the meantime telegraphed to the
governor for the militia. The trial of
HAYES began April 16 and lasted eleven
days The jury returned verdict of guilty
with the death penalty after two hours de
Liberation.

THE VAIL CASE.
A Missouri Husband Charged with the
Murder of His Wife.

Murder of His Wife.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 28.-The preliminary
examination of Chas. A. Vail of st. Louis
charged with the murder of his wife, Fan
ME Slate rly Vail, at old Monroe, St.
Charles county Mo-, on February 10 is in
progress at st. Charles before Justice
Throw. The opening of the case was de-
layed by the efforts of the defense to retain
possession of the overcoat which Vail wore
at the time of the shooting, which he
claims to have been accidental.
After much heated argument between
Prosecutor Mudd and Lawyer Mcdonald
of the defense the court wdereu that the
coat be handed over to the sheriff, which
was done.
The court room was crowded when the
first witness, Jerome McAtee, uncle of the
dead woman took the stand. He testified
as to the circumstances of the shooting and
expressed the firm belief that it was not ac-
cidentaI. All the efforts of the ATTORNEYS
for the defendant to break down his testi-
mony failed. The most damaging part
of the testimony of Mr.. Nc Aztec was to the
effect that when he heard the report of the
pistol Mrs. Vail screamed and said ::
Charlie you have killed me-" Vail re-
piled: mo, Fan, it struck the wagon
wheel" Mrs Vail was taken to the house
and laid on the bed and moaned: "Oh
my God, what have ] done to be shot?'
TO this Vail responded: "Nothing, Fan.
you're too good girl to he shot"
The witness then swore positively that
Vail showed no feeling about the death of
his wife, not even affection. He sent for
medical aid when she was dying

duslty, eight miles from this city, and p. II
jenkins, member of his church, are
hunting each other with shotguns Bry-
ant has wife and six children, and Jen.
kins has grown son and daughter 1f
years Old. Several days ago Miss Jenkins

urday her father found her at the home of
friend, few miles away, and persuaded
her to return home, and she told her IA
ther that Mr. Bryant, the minister, ill.,
duced her to leave home. Yesterday young
jenkins called on the minister and asked
for an explanation He was promptly
knocked out in one round priZe-ring rules
by the muscular preacher. Not content
with this, Mr.. Bryant shouldered his shot
gun and started to the house of Brother
jenkins. The elder Jenkins saw
him cCminS and got the drop on him.
81 don't want to kill you, old man; but
if you come one step nearer | will" he
said, when Bryant reached the gate. With
IA promise to see Brother Jenkins later the
minister left. Both men are armed and if
they meet again there may be boodshed.
In the meantime the members of Mr.. Bry-
ants church are very indignant and will
call on him to explain or resign.

A STRONG GALE.
A DESTRUCTIVE CYCLONE SWEEPS
THE REGION AROUND MEMPHIS
CAUSING GREAT LOSS.
ACCOMPANIED BY HAIL AND RAIN
A Terrible Assassination in Louisiana
Pewderly on the Condition of tho
MineS-Other News.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb GA wind storm
of cyclonic proportions, accompanied by
hail and rain, swept over this section of the
country yesterday doing an enormous
amount of damage TO property and causing
the loss of at least one life. The storm in
Memphis was severe but no material dam
age done. Brownsville, fifty-si1 miles
northeast of this city, was the worst suf-
ferer so far as reported. The storm struck
the town while the inhabitants slept and
had done its terrible work before the real
situation was realized. 1t came from a
sOutheasterly direction and burst upon the
town in appalling fury. Residences rocked
like cradles and heavy brick buildings
trembcd like leaves as the storm swept by
on its impetuous career leaving wreck and
destruction everywhere.
While the storm ragged the ram fell in
torrents, vivid lightning flashed and heavy
thunder added to the fear and confusion Of
the horror stricken people. Daylight re-
vealed the frightful work OF the cyclone.
Almost every buildingon the public square
was unrooied, causing great damage by
water to stocks OF goods, while scores of
residences were dismantled and are IN ru-
ms besides more than dozen business
houses.
The cotton compress, Jewish synagogue
Methodist church, Baptist Female college
and court house were unrooied and other
wise damaged.
The loss will exceed $4,000. The only
life lost was that of Mrs. james Cooper, the
wife of All engineer. A tree fell across the
/
riouslv niuring two Of her children.
At Mariana, Ark, the new Christian
church was completely demolished, Lesser's
cotton shed blown away and the roofs of
several o;her buildings were lifted OIL.
About thirty miles west of the town a ne
gro school house with eighty-ivc children
in it was blown from its foundation, but no
one was hurt.
White river Mt Batesvile, Ark, rose eight
feet in few hours, washing away culvcrts
aud delaying trains badly. Three houses
were blown down near Riverside and sew
eral buildings fattened out in the south
western portion of the county.
At Hot Springs the old observatory which
has stood for several years Oh the summit
of Hot Springs mountain and from whose
top thousands of visitors have viewed the
surrounding country was leveled to the
ground by the gale
The storm played havoc with the entire
country between Hot Springs and Wichita
river. Many farm houses were torn to
atoms and the path of the storm is one
mass of wrecked timbers. Large trees
were uprooted and in many places roads
are completely blockaded by fallen tim |
bcrs. Ills not yetknown whether any lives |
were lost, but that there is is more than
probable owing to the destruction of so
many farm houses. Considerable damage |
was done to buildings and fences at little |
Rock, ana ut Alexander, near that place,
Il school house was blown down ana nine |
children injured.

An Investigation Into the Death Of Engi
Dallas.
DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 2S.-rhc sensation in
police circles in Dallas today is the death
of George Engli, who was yesterday brought
10 Smiths undertaking establishment from
an East Dallas lodging house The condi-
ton of the remains was enough to arouse
suspicion. Several bad cuts and bruises,
the lacerated head and face, and the eyes
which were badly bruised and swollen, all
tended to arouse suspicion The proprietor
of the lodging house stated that Engli
had been down with consumption
and fell out of bed on Tuesday, receiving
injuries which proved fatal and which
caused the designation noticed. But this
explanation is not accepted. There are
those who knew Engli as an honest, up
right fellow hard working and respectable,
aud VINO fear that foul play may have
been the agency of his removal. One ru-
NOR that has some adherents
is to the effect that certain Sc
cret organization in the city had cause
to desire his taking off. The remains were
viewed by Coroner J. H.gBrown who this
afternoon went into taking of dispositions

picions rs they nave been able to pick up.

Velocity OF the Norther.

GALVESTON, Tex, Feb. 2S.-The norther

of the wind tonight is about thirty miles

ANOTHER LINK IN THE CHAIN.
Arrest OF Roebuck, the Negro Hack Drive
In the Halves Murder Case.

III the Hawes Murder Case.
BIRMINGuAN, Ala, Feb. 2S.-Another mr..
rest has been made in the celebrated Dick
Halves murder case. Will Roebuck, a
negro hack driver, was arrested today on
suspicion of being the man who helped
carry the bodies of Mrs. lTawes and Irene
from the cottage to the lake, half mile
away. The circums; anceS developed soon
after the crimes were discovered indicated
inat the bodies were carried to the lake in
Il v"hlctc Of some kind. Suspicion pointed
to VIII EucbuJk, who was Il friend of
FAMINE 8rynHt, the negro woman convicted
As the accompii"c of lliw1S.
When the Diet -Ctivns secured enough
evidence To warrant the arrest OF L tebuck
hr could nut he found, having suddenly
sold his mack and lett the city. A search
wasmadc for him, but no clue to his where
abouls was discovered.
Today u policeman met ROcbuCk on the
street and arrested him. He denies all
knowledge OF the crime, and says he never
saw Dick HAYES He admits that he left
the city soon after the Halves murder and
went To Hot Springs, Ark. From there he
went To Little Rock anu iL,er to Memphis.
and returned here Saturday night. Roe
buck says he knew Fannie Bryant, but was
only slightly acquainted with her.
The evidence against Roebuck is all cir
cumstantial but IT is said to be rather
strong, and his sudden flight from the city
was suspicious. In the confession which
Dick HaweS has written TO be made public
after his death it is said he states that
white man drove the vehicle in which the
bodies of his wife and child We're conveyed
to the lake, but he does not know the name
of the man. RoebuCk will be given pre-
liminary trial tomorrow or next day.
