Covet Balt Lalest Telegrams to The Star RICHMOND’S GALA DAY, A Greater Crowd of Visitors Than Ever Assembled in a Southern City. Special Dispatch to Tux EvENrxe Stan. Ricumonp, Va., May 29, Rev. Dr. J. William Jones, the war historian and friend of Lee, arrived from Atlanta this morning. He said he thought the crowa in New Orleans on the occasion of Jeff Davis’ fun- eral was the largest ever assembled in the south, but ‘Richmond today, he added, has even a greater crowd of visitors. Among the notable decorations are those of the Uap ares and Ohio Railroad building, controlle by the Vanderbilts, the Western Union and Postal ‘Telegraph buildings and in each ‘may seen a fair sprinkling of confederate flags along with the stars and stripes. There was a great scarcity of confederate flags until last night. Today 90 per cent of the decorations have the confederate colors added. Many northern visitors are here and they seem much interested in the celebrated confederate yell and smile at the wild fervor of the “Johnny Rebs.” NO COLORED TROOPS ALLOWED TO PARADE. After considering the request of the colored military to be allowed to parade in the great confederate procession ‘the committees de- cided that it would be better not to have such an innovation at this time. Gen. Cook and other leading lights in Lee Camp affairs said they would favor the colored military in this matter, but that the committee acted on the safe side’ in letting the program stand as it was, They were afraid that colored troops in line might give offense to some of the far south military. Four or five southern com- panies were headed by negro drum corps, GEN. EARLY'S NEGROES, This morning Jubal Early, as he stood in the rotunda of the Exchange Hotel, dressed in his confederate gray, attended by two old darkies, called Congressman O'Ferrail to him and said: “Col, O'Ferrall, I wish to introduce to you two — ee negroes—Pileasant Snead and Ben nead,”” O'’Ferrall asked: “Whom do you belong to, old men?” “We belongs to Massa Jubal,” they promptly replied. They had traveled on their own ac- cord over one hundred miles to see their old master on this great occasion, they said. SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE GRANT MONUMENT FUND. The Maryland division that arrived by boat this morning discussed the Elliot Shepard edi- torials while en route and as an answer took up asubscription for the Grant Monument Fund, Every member of the division contributed and quite a large sum was thus collected to be forwarded at once to the treasurer of the fund, deacthaidnshatacralit Flurry in Wall Streef.

A BRIEF SPEECH ON THE SCAFFOLD—HIS LAST MORNING SPENT IN SINGING AND EXHORTING— THE SCENE AT THE JAIL—STORY OF HIB CRIME, Benjamin Mawkins, colored, convicted of the murder of his wife, was hanged in the District jail at noon today. Rev. Dr. Howard left the prisoner about 5 o'clock last evening and Rev. Mr. Roberts kept | the prisoner company from that honr to 11 o'clock, engaging in singing and prayer. It was intended that the colored Young Men’s Chris- tian Association should hold a prayer meeting in the rotunda, but no visitors were allowed other than the ministers, and consequently there was no meeting held. During the evening from 7:30 to 9:30 o'clock fifty-one persons, most of them women,applied for admission to assist in the meeting. One colored man came only for curiosity “to see the gentlemen who is to be hung tomorrow.” The prisoner was allowed some extra liberty during the evening. His cell door was leit open that he could sit outside. Early in the evening Hawkins wen: up to the cell of Cross, in whose case a motion for a new trial was re- pee yesterday, and tried to comfort and cheer im, A GOOD NIGHT'S REST. At 11:30 o’clock Rev. Mr. Howard called, and finding Hawkins in excellent spirits, took Rev. Roberts’ place. About 12 o'clock Hawkins, after offering a favorite prayer, lay down on his cot and in a few minutes was sleeping soundly. He slept on till 5:30 o’elock this morn- ing. The ministers were at his ceil as soon as he was awake and conversed with him. He stated that he had enjoyed his rest, over again and within five minutes was again asleep and did not awake till 7 o'clock, EARLY MORNING FAREWELLS. After a prayer and before breakfast he | started with the ministers down the tier of cells, bidding his fellow prisoners good-bye, endeavoring to cheer them and urging them to forsake evil ways and turn to Christ. Lefore he had completed the rounds breakfast was | announced and he returned to his cell and eat | He sat down to his last meal and ate it as if he relished it, Ata few minutes past 8 Rev. L, H. Jackson, | the recently appointed pastor of St. Paul's Church, South Washington, arrived. 8:40 o'clock the three About ministers went to Hawkin's cell and engaged in singing and | Hi prayer. The first hymn wa: the Glory,” followed by * Been Toid,” and others, allelujah Thine jot Half Has Ever The religious exercises in the cell were con- tinued until about 9:30 o'clock, when Hawkins desiring to exercise, lighted a cigar and walked up and down the corridor for atime. At this time the rope was taken out to the scaffold and was soun put in pluce with the noose ready for the work, HE SINGS ALONE. Hawkins continued his walf, and after finish- ing his cigar sang the hymn, “Hark, the Voice of Jesus Calling.” This was the first time he had been heard to sing alone and it was re- marked that his voice though not of much compass was pleasant. Shortly after this he handed Rev, Roberts an orange to take to his danghter, who on Sunday last sung ‘he Home of the Soul" for him. At 10:45 o'clock the ministers repaired with the prisoner to the big cell at the end of the tier and there resumed devotional exercises, which were kept up till the hour for the march to the gallows. At 11:30 o'clock a jury was se- lected and were shown into the corridor and seated near the foot of the gallow Rev. Mr. Roberts, then came from Hawkins’ cell a few minutes after 11 o'clock and said to a Stan reporter that Hawkins had displayed more calmhess than 4 he had seen in the case of a man so soon to be executed.

Mr. Howard offered a prayer thanking God for the profes- sion of faith by the prisoner and his resignation, Hawkins sung the next hymu and then said: “Gentlemen, 1 bid you all good bye aud L hope te meet you in a better land. God bless you 1. God bless the man who is about to put the rope around my neck. Try and meet me ina better world. Good bye.” THE DROP FELT. The drop fell at a few seconds past 12 o'clock. It was at first thought that the neck not broken, for there were some spasmodic twitch- ings of the lege and quivering of the feet. In four minutes after the body was lowered, and Drs, McWilliams, Hagan, Lerch aud Lugenbeel examined it, Tho ropes were loosened, The pulse con- tinued to beat for fourteen minutes. but the physicians were of the opinion that death was Instantaneous and that the movements noticed were spasmodic, Oue of them said that elec- tricity could not have done the work better. he body was cut down in twenty-tive min- utes and placed in the cofiin and the jurors ap- ended their siguatures to the certificate. The ody was taken to Mrs. Brown's, in Fenton place, for burial. WOMEN WHO WANTED TO SEE IT.
