as well as every member Of his family,

that any person applying for employment
be required TO produce a similar certih-,
cate. The speakers strongly condemned
the reckless inactivity Of the health de-
partment. Twenty-Five houses were pIa-
carded to-day, ~ being for new cases.
Most Of the large manufacturing estab--
lishments are taking careful precautionas
to prevent the spread OF the disease am0ngl
their employees. A relief fund has beens

MAXWELL IDENTIFIED.
NAATEsHOWN TO BEDROOMS
IN A LETTER FROM ENGLAND.

The Mother Country Left for Lark with
Curate as a COmpAniOn--The Pris-
Oner Claims that Preller Died from
Heart Disease SuperiRduced by an
Overdose of ChIOrOform.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 18.-A letter is pub
lished here to-day dated Sunny Bank,
Hyde, Cheshire, Eng, July 18, 1885, and
signed Samuel N. Brooks, in which the
writer says that his son, H. M. Brooks,
left home last January on business trip
to ireland, and that no word has been re-
ceived from him since.
HIS COMPANION A CURATE.
1t had been learned, however, that he
had the curate of an adjoining parish for
a companion, and that they had Indulged
IN various eXtravagancies, and that
Brooks name had got mixed up with the
st. Louis trunk tragedy, and also got
mixed with that of DIR. MaxwelPs. The
letter SHOWS great distress on the part Of
the writer, who makes an urgent appeal
for information in regard to the person
concerned in the murder.
THE WRITER MAXWELL's FATHER.
Part of this letter was shown to Max
well, and he recognized the signature as
that OF his father, and desired possession
OF the letter. He said that he would write
to his father, and tell him that he Max
well) was innocent of the murder OF
Preller, and that he had a perfectly good
defense.
BROOKS DEFENSE.
In the course of the conversation Max
well, or, as he is now pretty definitely
identified, Brooks, said that Preller was
troubled with insomnia, and that he had
prescribed chlorofOrm for him on several
occasions and with benefit. Preller, how
ever, had heart disease, he said, and in
timated that he had either taken or was
given an overdose on this occasion with
fatal result. This will be Brooks de-
fense when his case comes to trial.
MAXwELL's DENIAL.
Maxwell published a card this after
noon denying that he has given any re-
porter any outline or idea OF his defense
as published here this morning and
already referred to in this dispatch He
furthermore denies having acknowledged
that his name is Brooks, and says that
no matter what is published be will not
talk about his case or give any one any
idea what his defense will be. The letter
previously referred to, signed Samuel N.
Brooks, is genuine however. 1t was re-
ceiVed here by John d. wheel, high officer.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1s.-A special
from Fort Bowie says: "Capt. Davis, Of
the Fourth cavalry, reports that Lieut..
Day struck Geronimo's camp northeast
of WakOnI, Aug. 7, and killed three bucks,
a squaw and Geronimo's son, aged 10

escaped. Everything in camp was
captured. Julyk29, Lieut.. Day ambushed
a party OF four Chirlcahuas and killed
two Of them and captured all their horses

A few weeks ago a Piute Indian was
killed by a member OF the Washoe tribe.
AT the time it was believed that the affair
would certainly lead 10 war between the
tribes. The matter, however, was amlca-
bly, arranged. A few days ago a relative
OF the Piute who was killed was beaten to
death in fight with WashOe braves. The
excitement among both tribes runs high.

DEATH OF A NOBLE WOMAN.
The Life and Deeds of Mrs. 4. G. Her
Want Reviewed,

DU PoNT, GA, Aug. 1S.-A telegram
was received here this morning from At
lanta announcing the death of Mrs. Eliza
g. Heryiant, OF Du Pont, one of the most
noteworthy women in the South. She was
a trst-honor graduate of one Of our lead
iEg colleges, and was most singularly
gifted, combining the highest order Of lite
rary attainments with the finest business
acumen. She was consulted in her county
on all subjects, from law to agriculture,
and often in sickness prescribed for the
most difficult cases successfully. She
was a devOut Christian, having been a
member of the Methodist church 80 years.
A SISTER OF CONGRESSMAN NICHOLS.
She was a daughter of S. W. Nichols,
who at one time was the largest landowner
in Georgia. There is hardly a land title in
Clinch or EchOs counties that was not
granted by the State to him. She is a sis
ter to Congressman j. g. Nichols. Her
first husband, Capt. Du Pont, died early In
the war. and sleeps in a Confederate
grave. He was the lineal descendent OF
Gen. Count Du POnt and Marshal Lefe-
bre, Duke Of DantZic. Al the close Of
the war she married Mr.. HerViant. one OF
our hOnored citizens, to whom she was
buried her brilliant lawyer-sOn Charlton.
MADE ILL BY GRIEF.
With his loss and malaria contracted
at the Suwannee Springs she WAS pros
trated, from which she never rallied. This
was the first sickness Of her life. At the
death OF her first husband she supported
unaided her children, and did much for
the widows OF Confederate soldiers, and
by close business management accumu-
lated quite property. 1t was said that
she WAS one among the most fluent con-
yersatonalists ia America. Her attain
ments we're OF such an order that she
would have adorned the most brilliant so
ciety, but she retired from the world,
living quietly at her home AT Du Pont, de-
voting her life TO her children, who seemed
her only thought and 10 whom she gave
finished educatiOns. The people of Clinoh
county will mourn her loss, for she was
universally loved for her generosity ana
good heart. She will be buried from
Wesley Monumental church, at Sayan-
nah, tomorrow afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock.

A Ship Canal Project that Greatly Inter
ests the People Down East.


BANGOR, Aug. 1s,-A ship railroad pro-
ject of great interest is absorbing the at
tention Of men away down East, though
little is heard oft in the United States.
The scheme is intended to revoluti0niae
the coasting traffic of the maritime prov
inces and develop the resources Of the
north shore of New Brunswick and Prince
Edward island. The railway is designed
to connect Cumberland Basin, at the head
OF the Bay of Funday, with Bay Verte, an
arm of Cumberland strait, Gulf of st.
Lawrence. The isthmus which it is TO
sDan lies between Westmoreland county,
New Brunswick, and Cumberland
county, Nova Scotia, and In the boundary
between these two provinces.
The isthmus is only about dozen miles
wide, and If, as is asserted, it is practi-
cable to transport vessels over it, saw
ing of over 800 miles can be effected in
the voyage from the north shore or Prince
Edward Island to Boston or other United
States ports. BY the natural route ves-
sells from the Gulf of 81. Lawrence are
obliged to make circuit of Nova Scotia,
which is a great obstacle, not only by
reason OF the distance, but on account OF
the dangers of navigation along it's rocky
coast.
Work has already been begun on the
railway, and good progress is being made,
the chief engineer being John Fowler,
who constructed the Underground rail-
way in London, and IS now engaged on
the long bridge over the Firth OF Forth.
Lord BrsbOurne, OF England, is President
Of the company engaged in the work. A
London syndicate has signed a contract
to furnish the money required.
When that shin railway ia cOmDleted IL
will, il successful, wipe out the free trade
party here. Lumber is 80 cheap now that
the Penobscot mills are shutting down;
produce is so cheap that the farmers
growl, and fish so plenty and cheap that
