The trial at St. Louis of Maxwell, who
is charged with having murdered G. Ar
thur Preller at the Southern hotel, in that
city, last April, will doubtless be one OF
great interest.
Preller's body, II VIII be remembered,
was found in a trunk in the room he oc-
cupled at the hotel. Maxwell, after a
long chase, WAS oyertaken in New Tea
land and brought back 10 the scene OF
the murder.
Maxwell says that PreIler is not dead,
and that the body found in Preller's room
was purchased to assist in carrying out a
plan by which Preller expected to get the
insurance which he had on his life.
Nobody in st. Louis believes MaxwelPs
story, but it will be very difficult TO
prove beyond a doubt that the body that
WAS found was Preller's. The
body when discovered was somewhat
decayed, and there was no one who
knew him well present at
his funeral. He was an Englishman, and
his relatives reside in London. A cousin
who lives in New York, and who bad seen
him several times, went to IT. Louis to
identify the remains, and did so 10 his own
satisfaction. he may not be very certain
that he did not make a mistake when he
is called as witness.
1t is said that there is a dentist who
fixed Prefers teeth just before the
tragedy. The dentist may be the best
witness that can be obtained. He may be
able to recognize his work, il the body
that was buried as Preller's is really his.
The reasons are so strong why Preller
should not have engaged i'll the conspira-
cy to defraud the insurance company that
they leave little room to doubt that he is
dead. The amount OF the insurance was
only $4,000, and Preller bore an exception
ally good character. He was a man of
some culture and ability and was in the
employment Of one of the largest manu-
featuring establishments in England.
But Maxwell says that he will produce
Preller alive. Either Maxwell is trying
to lay the foundation for his defense or he
has in store a great sensation for the
country.

probably first discovered the spot in seeking
place for water, has gotten IN the habit Of
visiting this place daily and spending some
time in wading about the shallow water and
catching live minnows. which. as it catches
them in its bill, carries them TO shore and
after pccking them until they make no more
movement swallows them whole. The hens
method OF catching the fish is to 20 in among

The New York Sl0, has come to the con-
clusion that an immense number Of poems
have been written upon the death Of
Grant, several of them by authors of con-
siderable literary pretenuOn, but there
was not one of them that was really worth
a copper. The question now is did the SIN
get the usual advertising rates for the two
or three alleged poems IL printed relating
to Gen. GRANTS death, or did it only find
out what they were really not worth until
they had actually been printed? Perhaps,
however, the discriminating cat has been
