NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.
Personal Recollections Of the Author Of
"a Scarlet Letter."


Personal ReeoIiections Of the Author of
"A Scarlet Letter.
Hawthorne was a slender lad, hav-
ing a massive head, with dark, bril-
liant and most expressive eyes, heavy
eyebrows and profusion of dark
hair. For his appearance at that
time the inquirer must rely wholly
upon the testimony of friends, for 1
think no portrait Of him as a Lad is
extant. On one occasion, in our
senior year, the class wished to have
their profiles cut in silhouette by a
wandering artist of the scissors, and
interchanged by all the thirty eight.
Hawthorne disapproved the proposed
plan, and steadily refused to go into
the class Golgotha, as he styled the
dismal collection / joined him in
this freak, and so our places were
left vacant. now regret the whim,
since even a moderately correct out
line of his features as lad would at
this day be interesting.
Hawthorne's figure was somewhat
singular, owing to his carrying his
head little on one SIDE but his walk
was square and firm, and his manner
self respecting and reserved. A fash
ionable boy of the present day might
have seen something to amuse him
in the new students appearance, but
had he indicated this he would have
rued it, for Hawthorne's clear ap-
probation of the social properties
and his great physical courage would
have made it as unsafe to treat him
with disrespect then as at any later
time.
Though quiet and most amiable he
had great pluck and determination.
I remember that in one of our con-
vivial meetings we had the laugh
upon him for some cause, an occur
renee so rare that the bantering was
carried too far. After bearing it
awhile Hawthorne singled out the
one among us who had the reputa-
ton of being the best pugilist, and in
a few words quietly told him that he
would not permit the rallying to go
further. His bearing was SO resolute,
and there was so much of danger in
his eye, that no one afterward allud-
ed to the offensive subject in his pres
ence.
This characteristic was notably dis
played several years later, when a
lady melted him to quarrel with one
of his best friends on account of a
groundless pique of hers. He went
to Washington for the purpose of
challenging the gentleman, and
though ample explanations were
made, showing that his friend had
behaved with entire honor, it was
with difficulty that Pierce and Cilley,
who were his advisers, could persuade
him to be satisfied without fight.
The lady had appealed to him to re-
dress her fancied wrongs and he was
too chivalrous to decline the service.
Hawthorne, with rare strength of
character, had yet gentleness and
Unselfishness which endeared him
greatly to his friends. He was gen
tleman in the best sense of the word,
and he was always manly, cool, self
poised and brave. He was neither
morose nor sentimental, and though
taciturn, was invariably cheerful
with his chosen friends. and there
was much more of fun and frolic in
his disposition than his published
writings Indicate -Horatio Bridge in
Haper's.

Death by Drowning.


Special to The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO. Tex, March 3.-This
morning the body of Charles Feist
was found in the river near the dam,
on the Madararz place. All that is
known is that the deceased was a
chronic vagrant, and suffered from an
ulcer. He was sent to the poor house
last year as a vagrant, and was there
on the morning Of March l. He was
not seen again until his body was
found in the river. There were no
marks of violence on the body, and it
seemed quite evident that death en-
sued from drowning, but how and by
what means he got into the water
there was no evidence to show. 1t is
said that the deceased was n years
of age and a native of Freiburg,
Germany, and has been here for about
ten years. For the most part he has
been an inmate of the poor house as a
vagrant and pauper. Justice Heron
held inquest on the remains of de-
ceased and decided that he came to

IMMENSE SMELLING FURNACES.
Monterey Increasing Her Facilities for
Handling Silver Ore.

Special to The Statesman.
MONTEREY, Mexico, March 3.-Sol
Guggenheim, president Of the great
National Smelling company, has au-
thorized the statement that his COM
pany will Immediately add four more
furnaces to it's smelling plant in this
city. Roasters for the treatment OF
sulphide ores will also be added.
When completed this plant will be
the largest silver lead smelter in the
world, and will smelt 800 tons of ore
daily. The total daily railway tonnage
to and from this smelter, including
coal and coke and the bullion product,
will run up to 1900 tons. Heretofore
the producers of sulphide ore were
obliged to seek foreign markets, but
the construction of roasters here will
place Monterey on an equal footing
with Denver as an ore market. Pres
ident Guggenheim further stated that
these improvements will be completed
by May Is, and that they are made
necessary by the extension of the
Monterey and Mexican Gulf railroad
into the Sierra Mejada mineral dist
riot, the construction of which will be
commenced at an early day. In an
ticipation of this extension the Great
National Smelling company recently
secured the control of several large
mining properties, producing fluxing
ores at points tributary to the line, and
it is now working nearly 1000 miners
on these properties.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
FOUR MEN KILLED AND OTHERS MAN
GLED NEAR LoNGvIEw.
1t Was Caused by the Carelessness Of a
Fireman, Who Fired Up His Engine
While it Was Badly in
Need Of Repairs.
Special to The Statesman.


LoNGvIEw, Tex, March 3.-The
most terrible mill explosion ever
known in this country occurred this
morning at 7:50 at H. g. Terrill's mill,
fifteen miles southwest of this place,
instantly killing four men and badly
injuring four others. The explosion
was the heaviest known to mill men,
tons of heavy iron being blown a
quarter of a mile high and several
miles away. The conclusion was deaf
ening for four or five miles away and
heard distinctly at this place, and the
noise of the falling debris was heard
two to four miles some seconds after
the first explosion. The mill pond,
which was near by, was blown dry
and all the houses near by demolished.
Timbers weighing four hundred
pounds were hurled over the tall pines
many hundred feet, while the flues
were lodged in high trees which were
full of debris.
John Brasher, superintendent of the
mills, was on his way to this place to
make some repairs, while his men
foolishly fired up the mill while the
steam guage was broken, consequent
ly the fireman could not tell how
much steam was in the boiler. Lee
Berry, temporary fireman, was in
stantly killed. All his clothes were
blown off and he was fearfully man
gled. His wife had recently died
leaving two children. j. M. Burcham,
saw filler, was also fearfully mangled;
leaves wife and four children. Jas.
Flower, shingle cutter, was killed;
single man. He came here lately
from Wisconsin. Abe Mitchell, col
ored, night Waterman, cut about the
head, perhaps fatally; has wife and
children; Francis Fambrough, badly
bruised and cut about the head, not
necessarily fatal; Ed. Curry, colored,
hurt seriously on shoulder; Bert
Burcham, Is years old, son of j. M.
Burcham, slightly wounded by fall
ing timbers.
Those slightly hurt are Joe Gle
burne, Bob Finley and Henry Russell.
The latter is a nephew of 5. G. Fer
rill. Squire Jones Dillingham;, one of
our county commissioners, a man
eighty years of age but very vigorous,
was standing near by and was struck
and knocked down with a piece of the
boiler about feet square of several
hundred pounds weight. This iron
was rolled off his insensible body, his
brains out of his head. He is still
alive but will die. He is the oldest
inhabitant of this county, having
fought Indians and served in the last
three wars.
The statement made by Fireman
Berry 80 minutes before the explosion,
was that he was going to make the
mill work or blow it to hell. 1t seems
the water had been low, and two of
the men were engaged in trying to
make the water RIM into the boiler.
Their success in this was the cause Of
the explosion,

The Proposition Ratified.

GALVESTON, March "a meeting
of the representative business men of
this city was held at the cotton ex-
change this evening, at which the
proposition of Galveston to donate
$3.50, 900 to the Worlds Fair fund was
unanimously ratified. A committee
was appointed to prosecute the can
vass upon the plans proposed for rails
ing this money upon the basis
of the sale of lots in
south Galveston. From the interest
that is now manifested, it is the gen
eral opinion that the money will be
forthcoming, after which Galveston
will go before the state with cash
subscription of $l50,000, asking the
balance of the state to supplement
this amount with $3.50, 900 more in or
der that Texas may be creditably rep
resented at the Worlds Fair in Chica-
90 in 1893.

NEW YORK CHARTER ELECTIONS.
Hills Home Refuses to Elect Single
Democratic Nominee.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Charter cleo
tions were held in many cities and
towns of this state yesterday. The
returns show large Republican gains.
Duchess county's last board of super
visors stood, Democrats 16, Republi-
cans 6. The returns so far received
show the Republicans elected 16 and
the Democrats 6, with four towns yet
to be heard from. In Elm ira, Senator
HIPS home, not a Democratic nomi-
nee was elected. The Republicans
carried Peeksville, turning the Demo-
cratic majority of in the council into
a Republican majority of 2.
Norman 1. Lawson, Republican,
was elected mayor of Newburg, and
the Republicans made gains in the
council and board of supervisors. In
Oswego the Republicans elected the
first mayor they have had. The Hill
men elected one alderman and the
Cleveland men elected four aldermen,
one police commissioner and one
school commissioner. Both factions
had full city tickets in the field. The
common council stands, five Demo
Gratis and three Republicans. The Re-
publicans gain three in the board of
supervisors. In Utica the Republi-
cans upset the Democratic majority in
the board of supervisors, and for the
first time in a generation captured the
board of aldermen.
Reports from all parts of Ontario
county show large Republican gains,
the Democrats electing only two out
of - supervisors. The same story
comes from Auburn and the board Of
supervisors which last year tied, now
stands 90 Republicans to Democrats,
with two towns yet to elect. At Troy
the Democrats carried everything, and
Mayor Wheelan was elected by over
5000 majority. The board of super
visors is Democrats and Democrats
will have more than two-thirds of the
members of the common council.

ALMOST A LYNCHING.
The Object Of the Mob's Rage Spirited Away
by the officers.

Special to The Statesman.
SHERMAN, Tex, March 2.-There
remains but little doubt in the minds
of nearly everybody that the negro,
Sam Massey, now in Jail is the person
who committed the brutal tragedy at
the Smith place, near this city, Mon
day night. Smith recovered con-
seriousness sufficiently this evening
to say that Massey was guilty. Mrs.
Smith who was also horribly beaten,
was worse this evening and thought
to be sinking away. She has never
spoken, and one of the little boys who
was dubbed is also much worse.
There is now strong belief that the
fiend's intention was that of horri-
BILE nature upon Mrs. Smith and left
the family, as he believed, murdered.
There are mutterings, and in many
instances angry talk Of lynching.

500 citizens from this town and the
country with guns and pistols went

VIM. Smith Monday night. Jailer
Mckinney and the sheriff had 10
doubt prepared for the visit, for when
a demand of the Infatuated mob was
made for the keys, they were handed
over. Every cell and crevice was
searched, but the prisoner had been
spirited away by the officers. A hack
was seen to leave the Jail about dark.

against the passage Of the bill were
also read from the Tacoma, Wash,

the stage at which the aggregate
amount can be stated, but it's con-
sideration has gone far enough to
show the total of the bill will be con-

been anticipated by some persons who
looked for a bill appropriating sum
much less than the measure passed
by the last congress. While
the majority of the committee are in
accord with the general policy of the
House in keeping down expenditures.
