The account is minute in detail, and says that this was the third attempt, the first having been made 30th of September, when the Burlington warehouse was fired, and the second on the Saturday night preceeding the great fire, when the Canal street conflagration occurred. The writer save, further, that Geo. Francis Train is a member of the Society Internationale, and quotes the following language, used bv him in an address delivered at Farwell Tlall, on the night of the disaster: This is the last address that will be delivered within these u'alls. A ter rible calamity is impending over the city of Chicago. More I cannot say —more I dare not utter.” The Times savs that it can be at tested that Train used this language, but it forbears to express any opin ion as to the authenticity of the al leged confession. It is well to re mark right here that no one believes the storg of the Times about this matter. THE MAYOR OF SALT LAKE AND OTHER PROMINENT CITIZENS R RESTED ON CHARGE OF MURDER. Salt Lakf, Oct, 28.

Sentence of Hawkins the Polygamist Salt Lake, Oct. 27. Chief Justice McKean this mornit g passed seutetice upou Thomas llaw kins, the polygamist, as folio* s “Thomas Hawkins, I am sorry for you, very sorry you may not thiuk so now, but I shall try to make you think so by the mercy which I shall show you. You came from England to this country with the wife ot your youth for many years you were a kind husband and kind father at length, however, the evil spirit of polygamy tempt d and possessed you, then happiness depaited from your household, and now, by the complaint of your faithful wife and the verdict of a law abiding jury, you stand at this bar a convicted criminal. The law gives me a large discretion in passing sentence upou you. I might both tine and imprison you, or I might tine you only, or im prison I might imprison you twenty years, and fine you one thousand dol lars. I cannot imprison you for less than three years, nor fine you less than three hundred dollars. It is r.ght that you should be fined— among other reasons, to help defray the expenses of enforcing the laws. But my experience iu this Stale has been such, that were I to fine you, only, I am satisfied that the fine would be paid out of other funds than yours, and thus you go free, ab solutely from all punishment, aud then those men who misled the peo ple wouid make you aud the thous ands of others believe that God had sent the money to pay the fine, that God had prevented the court from sending jou to prison, that by a mir acle you had been rescued from the authorities of the United States. I must look to it that my judgment gives no crumbs ot comforc to such men. 1 must look to it that my judg ment will not be so severe as to seem vindictive, and not so light as to seem to trifle with justice. This commun ity ought to begin to learn that God does not interpose to rescue crimi nals from the consequence of their crimes, but on the contrary, he so or ders the affairs of Ilis universe that sooner or later the crime stauds face to face with justice, and just as the master, I will say here and now that whenever your good behavior and the public good shall justify me in doing so I will gladly recommend that you be pardoned. The judg ment ot the court is that you be fined SSUO, and that you be imprisoned, ai hard labor for the term of three years.” Contrary to all expectations there was little or no excitement in the court room. The attendance was large but generally maintained the proper decorum. Th-U. S. Marshal and deputies were fully pr pared for any emergency. Notice of appeal to the Supreme Court was given by the prisoner's oounsi 1. THANKSGIVING. Washington, Oct. 28.
