MARTIAL LAW IS DECLARED And the City is in Charge of a Itcginient of State Troops. The Story of Ilium' Crime? An Interview Willi Him?Revised List of Tli.ise Killed In the Kiot Saturday Night, Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 10.?It is rejarted that 11 awes has just made a full confession of his crime. Business is going on as usual to-day, except that all the saloons are closed by order of Col. Jones, commanding the troops, and the only evidence of trouble remaining is the line of troops, and the cannon guarding every approach to the jail. There is still much feeling, but it is subdued. No matter who was right or who was wrong in the tragedy of Saturday, that terrible volley has settled all dceiro of the mob to break down the jail. They will not try it as':iin. Sheriff Smith is still in jail under arrest for mudcr, and Chief of Police Pi card was released on $10,000 bond this morning. Smith may leave ?li? i*itv nnder militarv escort, until a full examination is made by the coroner, but that lius not been fully determined upon na yet. A (iKAVU SITUATION. lldier Thnt the Trouble tit Not at an Kutl. Ill* Military on ilm (irounri. jjiitminoiiam, Ala., Dec. 10.?-The situation here is very grave, and while all good citizenH hope for the best, the outlook is not reassuring. The Hawes murder mystery is almost forgotten since the greater horror of Saturday night. Col. Jones, commanding the troops, is reported to have said that ho fears violence to Slieriir Smith more than ho did any further attempt to lynch Ilawes. Slierill Smith and David Pruett, one of his chief deputies, have been arrested on warrants charging them with murder. Warrants for a number of the other oflicera have been sworn out. The statements of the officers and those of men who were in the crowd are very conflicting. The people who were in the crowd say the oflicers forced the Unlit and that no one was making an advance when the first volley was Ured. They claim also that the officers continned to shoot when the erowd was rauning away and several were hit in the back. Un the other hand, thoSherifT says a number of shots were tired from the crowd after the officers ceased tiring. Smith was arrested by Coroner Babbitt on a warrant issued by a justice of the peace. The aflldavit was made by J. M. Me Mas tors, a well-known attorney. Col. Jones, last evening received the following letter from Governor Seay: ."Ill- ? II1U JUU Ill-ill BIWUl lUPBtlCO" of tliu Sheriff According to reports which have readied me, the Sheriff performed bis duty. Advise me uf the state ?( the proceedings against hioii and ask hint to send ine any report he way desire to make by wire. (Signed) Tiios. Sbay, Governor." , The Chief of Police was also arrested last night on the charge of murder. Coroner Babbitt made the urrest, and took charge of the Sheriffs otlice. He has placed Chief Deputy Truss in charge of the office for the present. more lll.ocdsiiei) expected. Yesterday afternoon the news spread that 1,500 miners from Pratt mines, about five miles from Birmingham, would after dark march to the city armed with guns, nistols, and dynamite cartridges, and with the increase to their ranks that was expected, assault the soldiers and with dynamite blow to atoms the jail. That such will be attempted is expected oven l?y the military, though a successful finale is not anticipated. Col. Jones said at U o'clock that the soldiers would bo duly notified by scouts of the approach of the mob. He feared Bonn' disturbance, but believed that with the force at his command, he could make successful resistance. The address issued yesterday morning by a meeting of citizens to tho" citizens of Birmingham, says among other things: "There are are some things as sacred as life itself, ami one of them is the maintenance of tho laws, made to protect life and honor and virtue. Without the orderly observance of tho laws of the land, no man, woman nor child is safe. Public indignation at atrocious crime is natural, but at the same time the law alone should visit the righteous penalty. It must not he said that in the great city ot Birmingham n criminal cannot he arrested and liave a fair trial. We appeal to every good citizen to com menu law, order and peace: to repress nil attempts to cxcito popular indignation, and to refrain froin assembling on the streets. The nood name of our city, your own security and that of your wives and children counsel most strongly the strict observance of law." All thought of attempting any further attacks upon the jail were abandoned upon the arrival of the troons ordered hero by Governor Seay, although a crowd of curious people numbering ?*.-vi-nu mum red stood an uay, iohuidk ? lino across Twenty-first street ana Second avenue, where the militiary guard was formed. HKNTINKL LINKS wore established upon all the street* leading to tho jail, from one to two blocks distant, and no one has been al? lowed to approach nearer than that tc the building unless provided with a paw from Col. Jones who was placed by the Government in charge of all the troops. The following is a correct list of the killed and wounded: iWd?Maurice K. Throckmorton, J K. McCoy, A. P. Tarrant, A. D. Bryant. C. C. Tate, Charles Jeukins, Colberi Nmith, Deputy Shriff Hrannan, of Gads den, Charles Uiloy and an unknowc negro. This list was obtained from tho differ ent undertaken, anil it is thought thai there are two or three others for whon vort'ms have not ye. been obtained. The wounded are: Mr. Berkely, Johi H. Merritt, Matt Kennedy, J. W. Owen J. W. Gilmore, Albert Smith. W. A. Bird, K. Reyecb, Lewrence FiUhugh, A. J. Scbide and J. W. Montgomery. In addition to these there are a large number of people who received slignt but not disabling wounds, and are therefore not reported at the hospital. W. J. Gilmore and Matt Kennedy, who arc most desperately wounded, are resting quietly. Certain prominent officials in the city have telegraphed Gov. Seay that they consider it necessary for him to be here and have asked him to come at once. The Governor will no doubt investigate the situation nersonally and make arrangements for the removal of Hawea and Sheriff Smith and for the relief of the Holdiers. The funeral of Postmaster Throckmorton took placo this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Church of the Advent. A detachment of artillery and a detachment of local militia escorted the remains to the cemetery and fired a salute over the grave. HOW TUB MOT STARTED. The Murder or the First Mm. llnwea-Why Huftplrlon Point* to the Iluabantl. Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 10.?The causes which led to tho tcrriblo midnight riot and loss of life at Birmingham are as follows: A scries of horrible crimes had bocn committed. An innocent and long-suffering but lately divorced wife, together with her little girl, and probably, alBO, n second and still younger child, had been murdered under circumstances of the most hideous atrocity. Their heads had been beaten to pieces and their boiTies thrown into a lake, heavy pieces of iron having been coolly and carefully tied to the waist and feet of the woman. Circumstantial evidence of the most powerful character pointed to the former husband as the murderer. Ue had long treated his wife with shocking brutality, beating her even to the breaking of bones. Immediately after tha-xUvorce, granted her but a few days ago. both mother and children disappeared, and the shameless husband rushed to a neighboring town and married again. Then brazenly he set forth upon a wedding trip, with accompaniments of great rejoicing. At midnight Monday Huwes, the husband, told parties at Birmingham that he was going to Columbus, Miss., next day, whore he expected to take another wife. On Wednesday night TIIE POLICE GOT INFORMATION that Hawes, with his nowly-inade wife, a girl of twenty, whom he married that afternoon at Columbus, Miss., would pass through Birmingham, en route to Augusta, Ga., on a bridal tour. Accordingly warrants were sworn out, ami Deputy Sheriff Truss and Ollicer Pinkerton were sent out to board the truin at Kussellvillo uud arrest him. lie wus found on the train, and called aside from his bride and placed under arrest, His face blanched at the sight of the oMccn>, but he made no resistance, and cooly asked what he was arrested for. When told, he indifferently denied the charge; said ilisformi'r wife had gone to Indiana, and t hat if his child was deud he knew nothing of it. He was then placed in juil. Ilawe's young wife, ueo Mary Storey, is a daughter of Col. J. D. Storoy, of Columbus, Miss., a lady of more than ordinary attainments and of excellent connections. Hawes had infqumed iiku ok jiis divorce from his former wife, but declared that ho had but one child, a little boy. When the real facts became known to her she was utterly prostrated and broken-hearted. She suffered terribly from the excitement. Hawes intho mountimo kept up a dogged indifference and insisted that he knew nothing of the whereabouts of his former wife, and that ho was innocent of the death of his daughter. There was another daughter, a younger one, Irene, who was also missing, and TIIE SUSPICION OUEW that she, too, with her mother, had suffered a fate similar to that of Mamie, The body of tko little girl was discovered iu the lake llrst. The iloors of the house in which they lived were found bespattered with blood and brains. Blood stains marked the path over which the victims had been dragged to the lake. Suspicion at once fell upon the husband. Ho was promptly arretted while passing through the city ou his braren wedding trip with his new love. The excitement grow oj>ace and tho lake wuh dragged, discovering tho mutilated and irou-weigbted body of the poor wife and mother. Then the residents of tho town arose?not wildly, not furiously, but with a cold, solomn determination to take vengeance into their own hands. It was not such a crowd as tho word "mob" suggests; it was AN UPRISINO OP PEOPLK. They moveil upon the jail, almost an nrmv in Btronntlu but thov were met by oUicers as fearless as Xhemselves, secure* ly posted, thoroughly armed, and strong in a stern sense of official duty. Both sides believed themselves right; neither would yield; neither accept warning; aud so camo the* cruel collision, with tho crack of revolvers and tho crash of repeating rifles. The crowd was beaten back, leaving the streets strewn with its dead and wounded, not a few of thein being of the town's best known and most respected citizens. The accused still cowers in his cell. Tho corpses of the murdered mother and children still wait for justice, And the surgeon und tho sexton are busy with muny of those who served only to add a still groater horror to that of tho original crime. AN INTERVIEW WITH IIA WES. He SttjH it ixnTicklUh Time?The.Calmmt Man In lllruilnslinm. Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 10.?If there was ono man in Birmingham last night or to-day win was not excited, that man Uinlmril R IIiiwoh. tho nrisoncr charged with the murder ol his wife and children. At tho jail a reporter was admitted to the coll of the prisoner. 'Mr. E. C. lirulley, of the Atlanta CaiutUulion, was present. He hail known Hawea in Atlanta many years, whoro he formerly lived, ami the following conversation passed between them: "No, 1 am not feeling well this morning. Who would?" ho remarked, in reply to a question. "l'retty ticklish time, wasn t it, Dick ? ' Well, 1 should say so," aud, raising I liia lii'Mil. llO , OLANCED THROUGH THE I1ARS. , "How's every body in Atlanta?" he . asked, as his eyes rolled toward the top , of the cell. i "Well, I believe." "An.l in thnru much talk al)Oilt thlfl i affair?" "Kvory liody ui talking about It. > He dropped his head, and, pulling bis mustache nervously a aeeoud, aaked: . "And what do they aay? Wbatdothey , think?" I "Some think you innocont. others are - satisfied that you are guilty." i Again ho began playing with hii beard. Ho appeared to ba thinking I Je"Anil there are more," he said, "who i think mo frailty?" "So, Dick, you are wrong. The gen 1 eral impression yesterday waa that you: , wife hail jumped into the lake to ilrowi herself, and that she bad carried Mi , with her. A KAINT HMILB 1 came over his face, and ho said: "Before God, I believe that was tl way it was." "But that could not have been, f< they were found in lakes five mill apart." Hawes looked perplexed. "That so," he said. "I can't, of course, thin i that now. I did think it" For a second there was a silence i thp cell. Suddenly the prisoner raise his arms on high and, looking up, c: claimed: "Oh, God! this is terrible, am confined in this cell, charged wit murdering my wife and daughter Why should I kill them? I loved tbos two children, and once I loyed thei mother. The children I could not hav killed, because iny heart was too full < love for tbem. The mother I would n< have killed, because we were apart." HE FAIRLY HU17DDKRBI) As he spoke, and., glancing urouhd tli cull, mud: "See, see these iron bare? They shi me out from freedom and action. The keep me from the corpse of my fin child and my girl, whom I loved h much. They prevent me from searehin for my baby girl. What mav be he fate? Dead, too! Oh, who could injur that innocent, loving child? She mu bo dead, and 1 almost pray God that sh is." His head dropped again. No one i: the cell uttered a word. "These bare are so hard and strong If I could only rend them apart and g to the side of the woman whom I one loved bo Bad has wronged me bo terribi I would have but one wish." "And what is that?" he was asked. "To see my boy dead and then die too." IIo picked up his shoes, which wer on the floor in front of him, and straight euing up, said with a groan: * "I have no one to help me. Is no this a great change in one week? I/as Sunday morning I was a free man. No\ I am in jail, witn officers protecting tm Then I H'as happy. Now I am miserable Then I was the happjr father of tw bright girls. Now one is dead and th other?oh God, where is my Irene?m; darling baby girl?" * "Dick, brace up, olil boy," Haul ah BrutTey. "You arc iu the nine-hole jua now, llut every thiug may change." "It must change. I will change it. I I could only get out X would change it.' The reporter made an effort to see IF A WES' NEW WIFE, * neo Miss May Storey, but learned sin returned hotue to Columbus, Miss., 01 Saturday morning, fortunately in tim to escape all these subsequent horrors The last words she said to a relative,win went home with her, was, "Oh, my God uncle, ull this will kill me; lean no stand it; I can not stand it."

The leader stated they wero not disposed to ques tion the authority of the State, but de dined to snrrenderto tuecountyauthor ities. Gov. Morehouse, therefore, callei out the militia in order to give th< belligerents an opportunity to surrende arms and thus restore peace. The tire last night was most dinas troijs, destroying the greater portion o the business section of Bevier. There i no doubt that the coutiagration is dut to incendiary causes, but there is no evi dence upon which any one can be con victed for the crime. It is understooi that the militia, under the direction o Gov, Morehouse, will disarm both fan tions and at least temporarily restor order. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Washington, Dec. 10.?At 1 o'clock 'y the Senate resumed the consideration of if the ttrifl bill, tho pending question! be)t ingon Mr. Harris'amendment to reduce the duty on beams, girders, joists, angles, etc., and all structural shapes of iron or e steel, from 1 l-10c per pound to G-lOc per pound. The amendment was advocated Mr. Reagan, but as Mr. McPherson * desired to oiler some amendments at the o beginning of the metal schedules, Mr. g Harris temporarily withdrew the amend|r ment. Mr. McPherson thereupon e mnvuil (n ainaml unrnnrunli 190. im in y iron in pig, etc., by reducing the rate e of duty from l\ 1-10 of' a cent per pound to $0 a ton. He suid that the rate prou posed by liiui was that contained in the House hill; that it was high enough, und ? that its udoption would allow further 0 reductions to be made without any in? quiry to the iadustry. V Mr. Allison opposed tho amendment and it was rejected?yeas, 20; nays, 22. Mr. Pluuib voted with tho Kepublicaus -i ia tho negative. Mr. Mcrherson moved to amend the 0 provision of paragraph 121' (referring to ' iron bare,blooms or billets in which charcoal is used as fuel) by reducing the 1 duty from $22 per ton to $20 per ton. 1 Rejected?yeas, 20; nays, 22. v Mr. Mcl'herson moved to reduce the !* duty on eust-iron pipe (paragraph 123)' ' from 0-10 of u cent per pound to 0-10 of a 0 cent. He said that the cast-iron pipe ine 11 nut rv li ml fni-miiil n (riifit nr (riiinhinn y tion, under which the price whh the foreign cost of the duty and ull expenses. - lit; thought that a littlo lens protection 1 would answer that industry. The , amendment was rejected?yeas, 11); nays, ,! 24. These votes being all strictly party votes, Mr. McPhereon intimated that it seenied as if all opposition to the bill i> might as well cease, if amendments so reasonable were to receive tho united opposition of the Republican side of the Q Chamber. Mr. Allison nodded his head, i. "Then," said Mr. McPherson, "we are ) to understand, I suppose, that the man, ufacturers of iron pipe may appear bet fore a committee of the Senate and fix i any rate they choose on theiivproduction, r without any regard to what the consumer may say about it. Here is an - absolutely prohibitory duty?a duty of , $22.40 per ton. I move to reduce it to < I 8-10 cents per pound." r The amendment was rejected?yeas i 21; nays 23. 1 Mr. Harris renewed his amendment to I reduce the duty on beams,girders, joists, i . angles, fac., from 1 1-10 a pound to 0-10 i OI H Willi* Mr. Vest argued in support of the | amendment, and said that there wiis no 1 item in the bill ou which the two parties j could better join issue than this one. He | 8 spoke of Mr, Carnegie'* profit on 110,000 t tons of steel beams, aud described the , t steel trust in this country as one hoary , with age. How long, ho asked, was that i ' trust to exist? , 1 Mr. Sherman desired to state once for , 3 all the grounds of his several votes on f the bill, because it was neither a mutter of pleasure for him or a matter of public , " utility to waste time iu repeating over | and over again the same argument on * different clauses of the bill. I j Undoubtedly the Mills bill represented the general sentiment of the Democrats, while the Senate substitute had buuu carried before the people aud redebated, advocated and supported by the tteptiblican party. Theono bill looked to a tariff for revenue , only, and the other to a tariff for protec- j tion. He would not undertake to do- , 1 fine what revenue only meant, but a j tariff for protection meant a tariff where ' , the rates were so fixed as not only to i give roasonablo revenue, but also in * every feature of it to extend protection, eneouragemeut, hope and competition among American producers. ' The Senate substitute represented .the latter sentimeut. The paragraph pro' posed to bo amended included a great variety of articles, some of which could o he produced in this country for S10 or a $i0 a toil while others could not be proj duoed for leaf than $70 a ton. If it were possible to make a discrimination in the a duty on these articles it should be done, I. but it was impossible without recurring *_ it... o.i ?ain...... .,?.i g UU tuu ?'? 7 *VV j enco was not favorable to that principle in imposing duties on iron and steel. ? The 11-10 per pound might be a little 11 too high on some articles, but it had y been fixed upon by the finance commitr tee as a fair average rate. e As to Mr. Carnegie's monopoly, he L) (Sherman) knew nothing about it except '* that Mr. Carnegio had been the Unit in l" the country to apply the continuous e process in the manufacture of steel l" beams. Mr. Carnegie, he presumed, had r? patents which could not bo taken away r from him but they would soon expire. d The time was not far distant when all 11 structural forms of steel and iron would 't be multiplied to an amming extent, and ' would be produced cheaper aiid ohoaner e by the oflef of inducements to manufacturers to enter into the business. That was one of the proposed rate duty. He thought it better to sustain the finance Committee in its classification than to a change the rates blindly and at hap-0 tiuzard. In regarcl to trusts, he looked on them as one of the most dangerous n and subtile inventions of man, and wtfs n in favor of breaking them up. They " were contrary 10 wie spirit 01 mo com>' rnon law of hngland; but the only way ft to break them down was by inviting n competition. It that was not sufficient he waa willing to go to the extent of proposing a law to provent and punish them. ? At tho conclusion of Mr. Sherman^s jo remarks, and without coming to a vote j. on the pending amendment, the Senate y adjourned. lO In tlie Houan. 0 Washington, D. C., Dec. 10.?Under ? the call of States to-day a largo number r. of bills were introduced. When Inr diana was reached, Mr. Holman rose lc and asked for the immediate consideration of tho following resolution: wiiskkas, It is publicly charged in the 1 public press and otherwise that in general election of reoeqt yenm, involving W the election of yresidept and V?co Prep:h jdent of the United States and members at of Congress, large sums of money have voluntarily contributed and expended r. in varioutf ways for the purpose of in-v f juencing and controlling soon elections; to and Whbbkas, Such contributions and expenditures tend to debase the elective franchise, corrupt tho ballot box and io impair the vigor and purity of our free ^ institutions; therefore, Rrtolvtd, That tho Committee on the y- Judiciary be instructed to investigate u will charges, ami to inquire what legis10 lation is necessary anil proper to supat press such contributions and expeuilibi) tu res, and to preserve and maintain the freedom and purity of the elective Iran chise, with authority to report at any time by bill or otherwise. Mr. Dingley, of Maine, suggested the insertion of the words ,rAnd also whether officials of the United States have made contributions to such campaign fund." Mr. Hoi man?That is entirely covered by tho resolution now. Mr. Dingley?Not specifically. It is * very important ; for the responsibility of officials of the United States in greater than that of citizens. I The demand for the regular order by Mr. Wilkins, of Ohio, and Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, operated as an objection to the resolution. Mr. Holman then requested its reference to the Committee on the Judiciary, intimating his willingness to accent the amendment suggested by Mr. Dingley. Mr. Wilkins said that he would object to the reference if the auieuduieut were 11 accepted and tho resolution was there- 1 fore referred without modification. c Several bills upon the calendar pertaining to the District of Columbia were, nt the request of Mr. Hemphill, of South r Carolina, recommitted to the Committee I ou tneousiriei01 uoiumoia una men on t motion of Mr. Clement*, of Georgia, the t House went into the Committee of the Whole, (Mr. Blunt, of Georgia, in the & chair) on the District of Columbia Ap- o probation bill. t Think* Hurry la Mistaken.
