Interesting Antiquities in Historic Clark County. @ENERAL MORGAN'S HOSPITABLE moME—WASH- ENGTON'S SPRING-HOUSE—LORD FAIRPAX'S BROAD ACRES—AN OLD CHURCE—JONN ESTEN COOKE'S oRavE. The historic little town now called Berryville was built in 1828, on twenty acres of land be- longing to Benjamin Berry, after whom it was named. To its older inhabitants. however, it was known by the appropriate soubriquet of Battletown, it having been the scene of so many of those pugilistie encounters of which Gen. Daniel Morgan, one of its founders, i8 said to have been so fond. This o! lived, for a time, just north of the town. at his place, SOLDIERS’ REST. The dwelling-house was built at the time when neighbors lived miles apart, and gene- rally remained several days when they came | on avisit. In those days hospitality was the foremost thought in men’s minds, and each tried to outdo his neighbor as host, though always in a spirit of friendly rivalry. Gen. Morgan was no exception to this rule, as the rooms of his old mansion proclaim, for they even now bave the appearance of old entertain- ers. The main building on the lower floor con- sists of two large rooms, divided by a wide hall crossed at right angles by a narrower one, which leads into an immense apartment with many windows, several doors, and a huge old- fashioned chimney-place. This was the dining- room in which many a grand dinner was served, These dinners were generally fol- lowed bya night of dancing. and the grand- its of the present generation danced “The Snowbird on the Ash-bank,” or some other equally inspiring break-down which one of the plantation darkies “drawed out” of his fiddle. The hall, parlor, and din- ing-room are wainscoted to the height of three feet from the floor, and, except for mod- ern costs of paint, are just as left by the old revolutionary hero. A feature of the dining- room too prominent to be overlooked is its mantel, which was brought from England by Gen. Morgan and was probably the first of its kind ever seen in the valley; certainly it was the subject of much curiosity, for the neigh- bors from miles around flocked to see it, although it is of simple pine wood an? almost devoid of ornamentation. From the front porch a beantiful view of the surrounding country is obtained, and about a hundred yards from the house is a magnificent weeping willow that has every appearance of great age, and under its branches is A SPRING-HOUSE WITH A HISTORY. It is a mere cabin of logs, built and occupied before the revolutionary war by George Wash- ifgton, who was then surveying land for Lord Fairfax, and had as bis only companion George William, the eldest son of his employer. Gen. spring-house, and as it still does duty. Irving, in his “Life of Washington,” descri itas kind of lodge in the wilderness,” and says: “It was situated not far from the Shenan- | éoab, and about twelve miles from the town of Winchester.” This house, the present owner declares, is, with the —— of a new roof aml a few new logs, just as Washington left it. Going south from Berryville the Milwood pike descends a steep hill and the little town is soon lost to view. On the left the Bine Ridge mountains majestically rear their lofty crests; each is more beautiful than his neighbor, re- sembling great hills of smoke, whose misty out- lines in the distance grow more shadowy and undefined until at last they disappear in the blue haze of the horizon. Distance lends enchantment even toa turn- ike, especially a good one that must be aban- med for that uncertain quantity which Vir- ginians call “‘a back road.” Four miles’ ride over such a road leads from the pike, across farms, through mud, and over rock brakes, to “THE BBIARs.” 1 This beautiful place was the home of John Esten Cooke. The house is of limestone, plas- tered on tbe outside and whitewashed. You enter a broad hall and on either side is a large room. The one on the south side Mr. Cooke used aga study. It contains, beside his favor- ite chair, several family portraits and the map | of Virj (Lloyd's), which he used constantly for reference. On the other side is the parlor, now used by the present tenants, and contain- ing nothing that belonged to Mr. Cooke. The rooms of the secon story correspond with those on the first floor. — for a hall room, | which is used as a libr: its shelves are well stocked. particularly with histories of Virginia and works on surveying. Add to these many mannecrigts and much “proof,” scattered indis- eriminately in dusty heaps over the floor, and you know its contents. “GREENWAY COURT.” Not far from “The Briars,” near the southern boundary line of Clarke county, is “Greenway Court,” the site selected by Lord Fairfax for his house. — lordship should have built on the rockiest land in his possession and far away from any spring is a mystery. Certainly the selection was not compulsory, for he was sole heir to an immense tract of land granted by Charles II to one of his ancestors. This tract inelnded all lands lying between the head- waters of the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers to the Chesapeake bay, or nearly one- fourth of the present limits of the state of Vir- ginia. The oFiginal house was destroyed some time since, and was only the commencement of a series of buildings that the owner intended to erect but did not live to finish. The house is described by Irving as, ‘A long stone build- ing, one story in height. with dormer windows, two wooden belfries ( their bells intended to sum- mon tenants to his defense in the eventof Indian attacks), chimneys studded with swallow and martin coops and a roof sloping down, in the old Virginia fashion, into low projecting eaves that formed a veranda the whole length of the | house. It was probably the house originally occupied by his steward or land agent, but now devoted to hospitable and the Feception of guests. As to his lordship, it waa one of his many eccentricities that he never slept in the main edifice, but lodged apart in a n house not much above 12 feet square.” This little house deserves a more minute de- scription. Not a nail was used in its coustrue- tion, except for the shingles on the roof. The corner posta, four in number.were hewed square and in the sides nearest the next t isa kind of tenon which runs the whole length. ‘The logs for the walls, also square, were mor- tised and dropped into these tenons, and thus form four nm walls which have defied the pais of nearly a hundred years. Another feature of this house is its roof, which tend of being in the style then usual, is cone- —— and projects some distance beyond the walls. The spectacle of a round root ona square house may be picturesque; yet it strikes one as being more appropriate for a Chinese oda than a Virginia meat-house, for which ily purpose this building is now used. WHITE post is soon reached. This was originally the place where two roads intersected, aud Lord Fairfax, for the convenience of his visitors, placed there a post which read: “Greenway Court one mile.” | post was painted white, and hence the | name of the town. which still has its white From White Post to Berryville by the main br ore which rans parallel with the “back | " travel is much easier and more rapid. | Boyce is soon passed and shortly afterward the | 1 —— with its lovely church-yard is in view. old chapel was built in 1796 and is, without doubt, the oldest church in the valley. aiet spot.

Terrible Results of an Attempt to Lynch Murderer Hawes at Birmingham. TRE JAIL GUARD FIRE INTO THE MOB, KILLIXG FIGHT MEN AND WOUNDING MANY OTHERS | MILITIA IN CHARGE OF THE CITY aXD THE SHERIFY UNDER ARREST. The body of Nannie Hawes, the twelve-year- old daughter of Richard R. Hawes, a locomo- tive engineer, was found in the lake in Lake- view park, Birmingham, Ala.,on Tuesday last, as heretofore stated in Tue Stan. The girl had been chloroformed and her body thrown into the water. The discovery caused intense excitement. The last person to sce the girl alive was Fannie Bryant, colored, and she tes tified that Mr. Hawes, her father,was with h He was arrested and jailed. Then it was as- certained that the girl's mother also was miss- ing and the conclusion was at once reached that a double murder had been committed. ‘The country was scoured in hopes of finding traces of the missing woman and on Saturday the lake in which the girl’s body had been found was dragged. THE MOTHER'S BODY FOUND. Here the body of the woman was found, ly- ing on the bottom weighted with a couple of hundred pounds of iron. A search of the Hawes cottage revealed blood stains in nearly every room. A trail of blood leading in the direction of the lake was also found, Facts were obtained showing that Hawes had treated his wife most eruelly for some time past. About two mouths ago he beat her with a stick, breaking one of her arms and two ribs. He failed to provide her with yon clothing or sufficient money, and she told several persons that he had threatened on several occasions to kill her. After the blood stains in the house were found the building was left unguarded for two hours, and when the officers returned they discovered that some one had entered through a window and washed away all traces of blood, showing that there is an accomplice still at large. Hawes had two children. The. second one is missing, and there is no longer any doubt that she, too, has been murdered. AN ATTACK ON THE JAIL. The finding of the second body increased the public excitement to a frenzy, and a movement at once took form to lynch Hawes, The sheriff desired to remove the murderer to Montgom- ery. but he preferred to trust to the strength of the Birmingham jail than to take his chances of capture in removal. The jail guard was in- creased to thirty men armed with Winchester rifles. At night the crowd began to gather in the neighborhood of the jail, and toward mid- night the movement began. Many leading citizens went among the crowd and endeavored to dissuade them from attempting to lynch Hawes, but their efforts were in vain. A SICKENING SLAUGRTER. The mob moved on the jail, and word was sent to the sheriff to surrender Hawes. ‘The sheriff refused to comply, informed the mob that the jail was strongly guarded and he would protect his prisoner at all hazards. Re- peated warnings were given the mob that the iff meant business, but these served only to increase the anger of the crowd. At last a rush was made for the jail door. Orders were given the guards to fire on the mob, and when the latter were within a few feet of the door a deadly volley was poured into their ranks, People went down before the storm of shot like grain before a reaper, and cries of agony and horror went up from hundreds of throats. Three were killed outright, seven mortally wounded . ud about thirty others are more or less badly injured. THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. + M. B. Throckmorton, postmaster, a popular citizen, was killed while endeavoring to pre- vent the attack. Mr. Throckmorton was about thirty years of age. He leaves a wife and one child. “ An unknown colored man, shot through the lungs, died Sunday morning.’ J. R. McCoy was killed by the first volley. A. B. Tassant, a young man, threw himself on his face on the ground after the first volley in hopes of escap- ing. but a bullet struck him while he lay in this position, and rangedup his back. He died ina few minutes, A.D. Bryant who was en- deavoring to stop the riot, was shot through the heart. Colbert Smith. colored, died Sun- day morning. C. C. Tate, shot fhrough the hip, thigh and loin, is dying. ‘He is a painter, about forty-five years old.and has a family.” Law- rence Fitzhugh, a civil engineer, badly wound- ed. Hewas shot throngh the shoulder. He is about thirty years old. Charles Bailey was shot throngh the head, it is thought fatally. A. J. Schiede, a mechanic, was shot in the left side just under the shoulder. It is thought that he will die. Charles Jenkins was shot in the back of the head, the ball coming out in the center of his forehead. He lingered until 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Jenkins was twenty years of age. Aman named Brandon, of Gadsden, who was st Birmingham on legal business, was wounded in the thigh and <Ulvmen, and died Sunday morning at the hospital. Frank Childer also died trom his wounds. J. W. Montgomery re- ceived a slight wound in the left jaw. Mr. Barkeley was shot through both legs below the knee. Jobn H. Merritt is at the hospital, shot through the calf of the left leg. Matt Kennedy is also at the hospital, shot in both legs below the knee. He is also shot in the left arm. J. W. Owen is at the hospital, shot through the right thigh. J. W. Gilmore is thought fatally wounded through the bowels. Albert Smith, colored. was shot in the back and seriously wounded. W. A. Bird was shot in the right shoulder, the ball passing entirely through him and coming out near the spinai cord. ‘THE MILITIA IN COMMAND. Birmingham was placed under military rule yesterday by Gov. Seay, who placed Col. Jones, of Montgomery, with thirteen military com- nies, in charge of affairs. The jail is guarded | y state troops, with picket lines extended several squares in every direction, and at each approach there frowns a gatling gun. Mounted scouts are sent out of the and at regular intervals acquaint Col. Jones with the condi- tion of the publle mind. The citizens, of course, are in a state of intense excitement and all day yesterday wherever a few gathered together on street corners or in hotels there was bitter talk and threats against Sheriff Smith and his aids. On the walls petitions numerously signed were posted denoun-ing the sberiff and calling for his removal from office and prosecution for murder. Much excitement was caused by the funeral of one of the victims of Saturday night's affray. The lengthy pro- cession was headed by a brass band playing solemn dirges. The post-office building was draped in mourning. ARREST OF THE SHERIFP. The militia refused all appeals to arrest Sheriff Smith, and finally, at about 5 o’clock a citizen went before a justice of the peace and swore outa warrant for the arrest of Smith and his deputies on the charge of murder. This was served by the coroner, who found Smith in jail, and the coroner ‘himself took charge of the jail. Durihg the day Capt. Peyton Bibb, who is in charge of the Mont- gomery Blues, advised that the military take mith and Hawes to Montgomery for safe keeping. This was not acceded to by the officers in charge, there being no civil steps to that end advised. SAYS THE MOB FIRED FIRST. The sheriff said of the deplorable occurrence of Saturday night: “We begged and pleaded with the crowd to keep back and then they fired the first shots, Several shots were fired by the crowd before I gave the order to fire. We begged them to halt at the mouth of the alley, and still they kept coming on. We begged them to go lowe time and againg | warned them we would shoot, but they woul not listen to us. They came half way up.the alley. close to the jail door, and were ‘hoting ‘blow = the jail with dynamite.’ After al this, and after ‘they opened fire I gave the “| Pliss that Miss Bessie Woodville, of Maryland, order to fire. They continued firing afte: ceased. I P ee idaat we could not have done anything else under ‘ircumstances, an deeply regret the necessity." . Various addresses have been issued to the people, by a meeting of citizens, by Col. Jones, who is a soeend et the militia, and by the mayor, api for respect day and the 0 5 Regen of order, ‘5 . Last it there were fears of a fresh out- break. There were various rej ofmovements to avenge the slaugher of citizens by the sheriff and his officers by blowing up the Jail, lynch- ing the sheriff, &c.

Halfadozen of Chicago's leading Irish- Americancitizens called upon the President- | elect in Indianapolis Saturday, ‘The party was composed of Major John F. Scanlan. author of “Why Ireland is Poor;” Dr. P. H. Cronin, pres- ident of the Home Market club; Captain Rich- ard Powers, Maurice P, McGarry, Mortimer Scanlan and John T. Golden. “They were accompanied by Col. W. B. Crooks, cf Phila- delphia, Major Scanlan explained in un inter- view that they had come toask the president- elect to give them encouragement for the edu- cational work that had been done during the | campaign by the Irish-Americans. j “We believe that itis of the greatest impor- tance,” he said, “that tariff education should goon continuously. We accomplished much during the campaign, but if the work is not | kept up the good effects of it may be lost en- tirely before another campaign. — It is particu- larly important in large cities. "In Chicago the socialists and anarchists, at weekly meetings the year round, are filling the ears of all labor- ing men that they can get to listen to them with the arguments of free trade, which they look upon hopefully as a means of breaking down the government, They are sharp andare capable of doing much mischief with plausible argumentson the side of wrong. * * *, We would also like to see Wharton Barker in the cabinet. He is a progressive man, and during the campaign gave much substantial aid to our political work.” General Harrison expressed himself well pleased with the suggestion for the continn- ance of tariff education. He thought, how- ever, that the republican newspapers of the country could be depended upon to do much of the educating, and it was his belief that the circulation of them among young men especi- | ally would be the means of accomplishing more good than any other agency that could be em- ployed. The clubs could prepare the way for the newspapers toa large extent, but he be- lieved that it was in the power of the editors todo the greater part of the educating, He gave kindly attention to al! that his visitors said in behalf of Mr, Barker, but made no com- ment on their remarks, Mr. Russell B, Harrison, dent-elect, left Indianapolis York. son of the Presi- last night for New Let Us be Picturesque.

For considerably more than a century women have had a monoply of sump- tuary elegance. and it is time that the longing for fine raiment which resides in the bosom of every man(if he would only admit it) should be gratified. Itis proposed to differentiate the gentleman who goes out in the evening to amuse himself, or because he cannot help it, from the gentleman who waits upon him, by placing a strip of embroidery upon each’ leg of his continuations, We hope it will be done, and that the movement in favor of picturesque male attire will not stop there.

How It Breeds Defaleations and Demor- alizes Society Generally. From the Boston Journal. : A few years ago a young man connected with an institution became a defaulter. He was a gentleman by birth and breeding, though not wealthy. He wasa man of correct habits. He had no extravagant tastes, and he was what may be termed a manly fellow. When asked why he was tempted to prove false to his trusts he hesitated to make reply, but finally he con- fessed that his desire to make a large sum of money ina short time was the actuating mo- tive which caused him to be dishonest. He stated that the idea of taking money without intending to replace it never for a moment entered his head. He wanted wealth—he stole, and he wrecked his life. That the haste to become wealthy is the primary cause of nine-tenths of the defalca- tions, siispensions. and misery which befall those who yield to this temptation is no doubt 2. ere could be alist made of the men in Boston who have risen to rapid wealth by fortunate speculation—for legitimate wealth acquired through trade or cautious investment parent that the men Who have thus floated on the top wave bya happy hit have almost invariably passed to ob- scurity and comparative poverty, even more quickly than they rose. With very few exce tions the xine of State street seldom hold what they suddenly gain. Here and there may be found a man who has known when his bread was well buttered and has been content to leave off, but the feverish anxiety which ac- companies this hot pursuit of wealth is very apt to unsettle a man’s mind, and the qualifications which he possessed in a fortu- nate venture appear to desert him. ‘I should have no doubt been well enough off” said a middle-aged gentleman only a few weeks since, “if Thad not made a fortunate outside specu- lation when I was a young man. I was doing very well in my business, making a living and laying a little aside each year. I saw other people richer than I, and without weighing the chances I speculated. In less than three months Thad cleaned up more than $20,000. It was my ruin. My legitimate business appeared tame, and I imagined that I had genius for speculation. I firmly believed that anything I touched would turn to gold. I found in less than a year that I was worse off than nothing and my speculative fancies were so fixed that my partner dissolved the concern—and, well, you know the rest.” If, a it is claimed, oe is one object of living. is it certain that large wealth means un- alloyed felicity? The possession of wealth is a good thing. No one but a fool derides those who seek to make money legitimately, but wealth, when suddenly obtained, rarely bri contentment. Men must be educated to the enjoyment of wealth; they cannot acquire the art of even spendi ig money judiciously in a moment, or even the knowledge how to use wealth to their dwn advantage. Men who ac- quire a fortune by slow degrees ripen into a knowledge of its proper use. pidly acquired fortunes bring with them aspirations which ere never satisfied. The world is apt to protest the deiands of such men. You may take the btue book of any city of even a few years ago and there will be the names of scores of men who floated to the surface upon gilded shingles who have passed away, and their brief careers of prosperity, which many, no doubt, envied, have terminated, perbaps, in dishonor, but more frequently in poverty, the result of bav- ing obtained ina year that which if it hadcome by degrees would have been kept, for then they would have attached a proper value to their wealth.
