und is confident of his ability to
prevent any further attempt at mob violence.
There was much excitement for
u while last night, but it has subsided
some what to-day.
The crime with which Hawes stands
charged is one of the most horrible in
the annuls of Aluhama, and the discovery
of the body of the murdered woman
yesterday solved the mystery that hot
anrroiiruled the cose. The body ol
{laves* child, little Irene, has not yel
been recovered.
Ato'clock the public mind, already
wrought hp to the highest tension by the
developmvnts of the last ttvo days, wot
set atire anew by the startling announce'

where the body of her daughter
May was recovered. The rumor provei
true, aud in half an hour thousands o
excited men, women and children hur
ried forward to the lake. The suspicion
hud gone abroad early in the day thai
likely the body had been secreted there
a# it wasouly "about two hundred yardi
from the Iliiwes' home.
About 11 o'clock four determined mei
set to work to drag the lake with grap

As it lay on the bauk the crowd
curious and indignant spectators crow*

until it swelled into a surging multitude.
Tbe feeling ol

increased wtih each moment, until it (
threatened to become a frenzy. Fierce
threats of vengeance were heard rotning
from lips whose utterances the people
, of Birmingham have long since learned i
to know mean what they say. and strong
men almost cried in tho intensity of
their excitement. 1
t The frenzy of the people increased until
the attack was made upon the guards
at the iail with the horrible result detailed
above.
Sheriff Smith, in an interview, said he
deeply regretted the occurrences of last
night, but felt that ho simply done his ?
1 duty in upholding tho majesty of the
law. I
Xfnoni. Tlinmiwnn ti'lin trim rttllv in. .i

a proclamation this morning expressing 0
sympathy for the families of the victims g
of last night's tragedy and deeply regret- <1
tinp the occurrence, but favoring the g
maintenance of law and order, and ap- Q
pealing to all who love peace and good ?j
order to refrain from public assemblage. B
TUB MILITIA 0!* DUTY. H
To-day and to-night the city is a mil- &
itary encampment. Civil authorities ?
have practically stepped down aud out, (|
and Col. Jones, of Montgomery, with ti
' thirteen military companies, is absolutely
in charge of affairs. The jail is guard- \\
ed by State troops with picked lines ex- t?
tended in several squares in every direc- o
tion, aud at each approach there frowns p
the countenance of a gatling gun. .1
Mounted scouts are sent out of the city, ?
and at-regular intervals acquaint Col. rt
Jones with the condition of the public tl
mind and prospects of armed risiug by a;
me iiuupic. rire ocim bwuiki uimvuij u
alarms and soldiers in uniforms and tl
armed with Winchester rifles have
, dearud the principal streets and driven U
back the thousands who have all day p
been looking toward the jail. b
The streets have been a living, mail- A
dened mass, aud very little oratorical t<
pyrotechnics could readily organizo a tl
mob. v
All along the walls of the city are v
posted petitions of various kinds n
signed by thousands of people, o
One of these recites at length p
thy fact that Sheriff Smith had u
butchered in cold blood some of the a
best citizens of Birmingham, aud asked b
Governor Seay to immediately relieve o
him of his duties as Sheriff.
Great excitement was caused by the n
funeral cortege through n principal high- o
way of one ot the victims of last night's a
affray. t<
During the afternoon the rumor be- tl
came widespread that 1,500 miners from Hi
the Pratt mines, about five miles from c
Birmingham, would after dark march a
to the city armed with guns, pistols aud n
dynamite cartridges. j>
mere are aireauy ten military cum- ri

and the live others will arrive on spe- ti

St. Louis, Dec. J).?It now seems a (|
settled fact that the disturbances at Bevier,
Mo., where the serious riot Joccurred
on the night of the 5th, are by no ^
means settled and that the future must
develop more serious disturbances. It
is said that when any of the strikers at tl
Bevier go elsewhere to work tbey are re- ^
fused work if it is known they came *
froin Bevier and belong to the labor con- 11
federation there. As long as the strike
is continued at Bevier, these ?
strikers receive support from
the State confederations. It is said that
if the State refuses to interfere tliore n
will be more armed men to go to Bevier
iuiiI theneoDlu will soon have more men ?
killed there than they will bo willing to ~{\
buy coiling for. The' disarming of both
sides at Bevier is a bard thing to do. Cl
Gen. Jamison says tlio only way it can j,
be done is for the Governor to declaro ?
the town under martial law. M
There are two armed bodies of men, a,
many in barricades, and if uny one on
either side fires otr his gun, whether ac- c
cidentally or not, it is a war signal, and u
the war begins. Adjutant General Jam- "j
ison was at Bevier yesterday in eonaulta- ?
tion with leading citizens, and the con- a
elusion reached was that the only effect ?
the Bending of militia to Bevier would 'j
have would be temporary and it was v
decided to ask Governor Morris to come
to Bevier. The Governor wired back
that he would be there to-duy. Last
night the store buildings of Loomis and t
Suively, the leading miners of Bevier,
were burned, and it is claimed the fire
must have been incendiarv. (

i among all the leaders of tlie Democratic

in tho House, und fuel thut the battle

Indianapolis, Dec.9.?About!)o'clock c
yesterday morning a fine drizzlimr rain 3
let in, which prevailed until nightfall, J
rendersng the day a gloomy one. About
noon General Harrison came down town
an the street cars and visited his law J
>lfice for half an hour or more. The J
most prominent out-of-town caller to- [
lay was Colonel \V. li. Crooks, of J
Philadelphia, a warm friend and adinir- 2
urof Hon. Wharton Baker, the diatinguished
Philadelphia banker and pub- ,
fisher. Colonel Crooks visited Generai
Harrison iu company with a delegation
of prominent Irish-Americans from Chi
cago. These gentlemen are all strong advocates
of Wharton Baker for a Cabinet
position, but the meetinir of Colonel
Crooks with the Chicago delegation is
declared by both parties to he purely
accidental, as Mr. Crooks arrived in
tho city Friday.
TAKJFP EDUCATION NKKDPl'I..
The primary object of the visit of tho
Chicago delegation was to bring to the
attention of the President-elect the pro- i
ject o! encouraging and permanently 1
continuing the educational work on the i
tariff, set on foot during the late cam- 1
paign. Major Scanlan, in speaking upon ]
this subject this evening, said:
We feel that the administration ought
to give encouragement to the educational
work on tariff in the large cities,
and we have come to urge consideration
of the matter. We have been engaged
in prompting tariff education among
Irish-American citizens, anil have such
convincfng proof of the good results of
the work that we believe it ought to be
continued. In Chicago the bocialista
ind Anarchist* at weekly meetings folow
years of laboring with the argument
if free trade with the avowed hope of
ireaking down the Government. They
re sharp and capable of doing much
aiBchief. Tbert is no doubt but they
re rapidly poisoning the minds of
yorkingmcn who have no means of ac[uiring
infoimation from other sources,
nd little or nothing is being done in
be proper way to offset their bad work,
.'he growth of their influence is deinontrated
in the decline of the Republican
aajority in Chicago from 10,000 to 3,600.
HARRIBOH WILL THINK 07 IT.
The gentlemen report that General
Inrrison received them very cordially,
laving previously met all the Chicago
arty, and they discussed the educaional
question for half an hour, and
uggested to the President-elect, if he
ould consistently see his way to do so,
) give the Bubject a mention in his in*
ugurnl address. They state that Genrul
Harrison evinced decided interest
1 the matter, and promised to take it
.oder friendly consideration. Having
onoluded their conversation upon this
abject, Major seaman, uapiuin rowers
mi Dr. Uronin voiced the sentiments of
lie others when they recommended und
uquested the General to ulao take uner
consideration the name ol Wharton
larker for Secretary of the Treasury,
'oloncl Hooks heartily indorsed this
uggcstion. General Harrison is quoted
9 having replied: "Gentlemen, I inn
taking no promises in such matters, but
our kindly suggestions will receive my
ireful consideration." Ho is said to
ave freely expressed his high regard

f the services he rendered jij the cnmaign.

iris flirting with the sea-Uogs, and even
ith the marines?things looked uncoin*
lonly warlike, and at 3 o'clock yesteray
afternoon the hoatwain's shrill wliise
sounded from the deck of the Galena,
le wild piping for ail hands to loose
liIs, and scores of tars sprang into the
igk'ing, and in a moment the sails drop*
eu from the yar.ls, enveloping the ship
i a cloud of white canvas.
Filially all tin* finishing touches were
ompleted, and the Galena was ready
?r sea, except for her spanker aud wind*
nils, which are on their way from Bos5ti.
Along with these sail's will come
lie ship's awnings, that are necessary in
lie tropics.
During the afternoon the Galena's
oats were hoisted upon the davits and
overed for sea. The cruiser carries one
team cutter, one sailiug launch, three
utters, one whaleboat, one gig, two
ifebontB, one dingy and n catamaran,
he is provisioned for a five months'
ruise. The last installment of gun coton,
wet and dry, and four torpedo boats
. ere put aboard Friday.
Promptly at noon Admiral Luce's flag
yos transferred from the Galena's peak
o the Richmond, which will now be
he flagship of the North Atlantic squadon.
In the place of the Admiral's flag
uother strip of hunting was run up to
he masthead of the Galena. This is
;uown as a gunner's flag, and was
ilfered as a prize by Admiral Luco for
he best exhibition of markmanship
rith heavy guns by gunners of the
quadron. It has been won four times
n succession by the Galena, which is
iow acknowledged to have the best
[tinners of the fleet aboard of her.
An iucident of the day was the application
made by a number of unattached
oung men who consider themselves
ightere, for a chance to go down to ilayti
md help clean out the islands?for, as
ine young man with light trousers put
t, "a chance to go along and knock der
tuflln' out of some of dem coons that
uive got so mighty cheeky." They were
old if they wanted to serve under Uncle
!am they must go to the barracks and
nlist in the regular way.
It is now pretty well Bottled that the
Salena will he sent alone to Ilayti,
rhile the other vessels will sail on their
eguUr winter cruises. It has been
bought all along that the Richmond
vould he sent to the China station, but
lince Secretary Whitney has ordered her
o be made the flagship of the North Atantic
squadron, it is likely that the Pentaenia
will be sent to those waters in her
i toad.
So definite orders haye yet been rereived
at the nayy yard as to what will
jo (he destination of the Galena, though
10 one doubts that her mission will be to
aroceed to Port au Prince, in the Republic
of Hayti, on the Island of Hayti. It
is possible that she will not sail until the
.atter part of the weolf, though she can
leave at a few hours' notice, as soon an
the sails and awnings arrive from Boston.
The 144 naval recruits from the
Charleatown navy yard reached this city

Chicago, Dec. 9.?The streets around
the Haywarket were thronged with people
all this afternoon expecting some sort
of anarchistic demonstration. More po
ilbcujcu Hum niu uouun; ui.uu.v- u? ...?
streets were on duty and did not allow
crowds to congregate about the corners
or saloons. There were no more people
than usual on the street and adjoining
quarters on Milwaukee avenue or ip the
saloons frequented by anarchists on
Blue Island avenue and on Twelfth
street. Until 3 o'clock the entire force
of policemen was on reserve. All the
west side stations were tilled with ollicers
up to that hour, but absolutely kno
trouble was encountered.
It was expected that the anarchists
would hold a meeting at the hall, (500
Blue Island avenue. A number of
oliicers in citizens' clothes were detailed
to watch the place, but passed the whole
day in idleness, lor no meeting was held
and not as many people patronized the
saloons as do on most pleasant Suudays.
At no time were there more than fifty
Germans in the saloon, and these all the
time seated about the tables quietly
drinking their beer. Captain O'Donnell
was asked whether he expected any
sort of a demonstration on the part of
the socialists or anarchists in the district.
"Not a bit of it. If the anarchists
in my district are left to the mselves they
will soon get sick of holding meetings.
There was no meeting held in the district
to my knowledge. I think that
the fact that it was generally understood
that the police desired no meetings held
caused them to give up the gathering
they bad planned for tlie day.'
Later?Up to this hour (10 p. in.)
there have been no reports of any
trouble growing out of proposed Anarchist
meetings. Police arrangements
begun last night was completed by noon
to-day and ho perfect were all details
that it would have been a small matter j
to have massed 400 men to any point at!
which any disturbance might take place.
There was but one meeting held and It i
was practically under the auspices of the |
police. Captain Uathawav, in charge of j
'Jo men, was present. All proceedings
were iu German and they consisted in j
the adoption of a series of resolutions,
the gist of which were emphatic in I
denouncing the capitalistic press, for'
agitating the question of Anarchy.

THE 1100* CHOLERA,

Spread or the DlNoase.
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 0.?For some
time past hog cholera has been prevalent
in the counties of Pike, Gibson and
Warwick- which lie in the extreme
southern part of tho State. The disease
continued to spread until the stockmen
became alarmed and began an investigation.
They found that the live liogs
were in the habit of eating the
dead ones, and that crows and buzzards
also assisted in spreading the disease by
carrying pieces of flesh from one neighborhood
to another.
To prevent this the swine raisers have
organized a shotgun brigade, and will
proceed at once to exterminate these
carrion-loving birds. Whenever possible
the bodies of tho dead porkers will
be burned.

Special Dispatch to the Intelligencer.
Cambridge, 0., Dec. 0.?The Snoots
murder trial will enter upon its second
week to-morrow, and it looks now like
the third week would be pretty well run ?
before the end is reached. The State did J
not finish its evidence in chief on Saturday
and will not rest before Monday I
evening, if then. The defense will occupy
at least four or five days with its evidence
in chief.
The jury is bearing its enforced confinement
m charge of two officers of the
court with very much less grace than
the accused, who looked very contented
for a woman whose life is in jeopardy, ^
as she sat in her cell this morning quiet- t<
Iv arranging her baby's toilet. Mrs. '
Snoots does not look a hardened criini- u
nal by any means, and while the many 1<
who have heard the crushing evidence 0
against her produced "by the State and
believe her guilty as charged, see no ?
other way to account for the death of b
little Carrie Snoots, they pause when L
they sue the mother so accused fondling ti
her little child, and ask for some 1110- ,
tive that may account forsuch a In i ions
crime against nature. S
Court was iu session but half of the b
day Saturday, adjourning at noon to gj
allow the Zanesvllle lawyers to spend u,
Sunday at home. The State offered ad- C(
ditional expert testimony. T
Prof. Howard, the chemist who jy
analyzed the viscera of Carrie Snoots. a|
was recalled and stated that a chemical tj
analysis for'thu detection of Paris green
would generally result in the discovery
of more arsenic'tlinn was actually present
in the organs analyzed, and that C(
there would also be a variation in the
quantity of copper found. Cl
This "testimony was offered by the Ul
prosecution to account for the fact that <1
the analysis revealed tho presence of ar- t<
senic and copper in tho child's stomach j*1
in proportions differing slightly from '
the proportions in which they exist in H
Paris green, a circumstance that the de- "I
fense took advantage of. ai
Dr. T. J. Ha r ton, of Zanesville, was re- P
called and a long hypothetical question *
propounded to him. Court adjourned J-'
while the examination was in progress, b
There is one feature of the trial which
is worthy of remark. The court smiles P
occasionally over its spectacles ut the J]
had breaks of counsel, tho spectetors f
laugh, and even the counsel give way to n
mirth once in a while, but the grave w
faces of the twelve aen in the jury box d,
never show a line of merriment, but tl
grow graver day by day. t j

THE TORIES KUMIN'O.
Ho has abused the Tories for their
iurse in Egypt, attacked the land purIioho
bill with words of acorn, which
lused the Irish benches to ring with
dmiring cheers, and on the Soudan
uestion nearly caused the Government
) be defeated on a division so importnt
that a defeat must have been fol?wed
by the resignation of the Minis y.
The lories are raging and fuming
gainst the noble lord, known as Handy,
ud vow that he wus in league with the
arnellites to overturn the Ministry,
his, however, is not true. Churchill,
tough out of ollice, does not meun to
e forgotten, and occasionally he seizes
aod opportunities of posing before the
eople as a Radical, independent Lord,
nd at the same time of giving his fellow
orit'8 such a scare as will effectually
mind them of his importance. For
eeks to couie the Government will not
ure to move without liret consulting
le great little Kandy and assuring
lemselves of his support, all of which
lows what a very week-kneed Governlent
it is.

asn't made it any easier for the august
ory Cabinet Ministers by declaring that
le Irish Executive appears not to have
penly instructed the Irish police for
le observance of duo respect to the
louse of Commons.
INDIA ALSO INDIGNANT.
To add to the Tories discomfort, Lord
uliabury, their leader, grows more and
lore unpopular for his stupid "black
ian" speech. In it he contemptuously
iferrea to a very able and highly es>emed
Indian, the Hon. Dadabliai
'aoroii, who ran for the Commons on
tie Liberal ticket, as "only a black man."
ndia is verv furious about it, and the
rhiskered Marquis will probably have
3 apologize. Two Tory members have
led, both colonels, and fresh elections
-ill ut once take place in Colchester and
Iuidstone. Though both were Tory at

that the turn of the political tide will
