The attorney for Maxwell, who killed Preller
has outlined his defense. He says that he will
make the state first prove that Preller is dead
Some persons in st. Louis are of the belief that
Preller is not dead, and that the body found
in the trunk is that of Hugh Motham Brooks
This would make Maxwell out the young min
lister who fed from England with Brooks, and
who has not been accounted for. What leads
to the belief that the body in the trunk is that
of Brooks is that the Undertaking on the
corpse was marked III. NJ. B." Maxwell, by
the advice Of his attorney, will have nothing,
more to say about his case.
ANOTHER IDENTIFICATION OF MAXWELL.
w. A. Shaw, stenographer, employed i'm the
Office of Wayne MacVeagh, in Philadelphia,
has, through the descriptions and newspaper
cuts of Maxwell, the alleged murderer of
Preller at st. Louis, identified the accused as
Hugh Brooks, former acquaintance of his at
Hyde, Leicester, England. Mr.. Shaw last saw
Brooks in August, 1884, when on "A visit to his
parents, who reside near Hyde. Brooks then
had an Office as solicitor in Hyde, but did not
have much practice, and amused himself with
various scientific pursuits. He was much de-
voted to magic lanterns, and apparently was
accustomed to make chemical experiments.
He had many noticeable eccentricities, and in
personal appearance was strange looking. His
eyes would wander. and he seemed engaged I'm
study. His father had been summering at the
Isle of Wight, and during his absence the son
spent money eXtravagantly, and to cover his
expenditures forged his fathers name to a note
for $500. On account of this misdeed he left
Hyde and went to Dublin, afterward drifting to
America.

Sympathy for Mr.. Kelley.

BISHOP KEANE WRITES WARM LETTER TO
THE REJECTED MINISTER TO AUSTRIA.
The Right Rev. John J. Keane, bishop of the
diocese of Richmond, recently wrote letter to
A. NJ. Kelley in relation to what he terms the
shameful persecution" that gentlemen is
suffering. The bishop says:-"I allude to the
treatment inflicted on you as an insult not only
to one of the most highly and deservedly
esteemed Catholics of the diocese of Richmond
and one of the most honored citizens of Vir-
GINA, but through MIN to all his fellow Catho-
lies and fellow citizens in this country and to
the Holy Father himself But in this insult to
you can see no humiliation save to those who
have offered 1t. It was an honor to be unwel-
come to o government whose whole course has
been maaked by injustice and irreligion, and
the government Of Austria having by its recent
act made itself the abettOr of the guilt and part
ner in the shame has thereby made itself In
capable Of humiliating you. While I have re-
gretted the attacks made upon you by part Of
the daily press, still that need not concern us
much, as nothing better was to be expected
from such partisan and interested sources
am confident that all Catholics whose opinion
you would esteem honor You for the persecu-
ton You have suffered for truth and justice
sake: Your position is, indeed, an embarrass-
Ing one, with a family to provide for and your
business transferred TO Others but surely 1t can.
not be that our government, whose well-meant
action has placed you in this embarrassment,
will leave you in 1t or fail to provide that you
be in no way loser by it,

able men who could not otherwise afford to de-

poorer constituencies object to having the tax

sessed upon them. They want a general fund
raised, to which they, with others in Ireland
and elsewhere, shall contribute according to
their means. and from which all the members
shall be paid alike. It is probable that some
compromise will be effected by which the con-
stituencies will be required to pay what they
can, and that the deficiencies will afterward be
made up and the salaries eQualized by drafts

Bound to See Her Husband.

The RUSE MRS. HIX ADOPTED TO GET INTO A
RICHMOND JAIL.
A sensation was caused in police circles in
Richmond, Virginia, Saturday by the discovery
that one of the prisoners in the city Jail who
was attired as a man was a woman. The name
of the prisoner is Henrietta Xix. Her husban md
deserted her in Boston a few months ago.
Learning that he had come to Richmond, the
wife donned male attire and shipped on board
OF vessel at Boston as cook about two weeks
ago. Upon reaching Richmond Mrs. Hix dis
covered that her husband had been arrested
and committed to Jail for robbery. Determined
the woman stole a small amount of money
She was arrested, and without arousing the
was placed in the same cell with Hix. The
ruse was discovered Saturday, and the husband
and wife were placed in separate cells. Hix con-
firms the wOman's story, and saws they were
married in Boston about two years ago. Ii is
probable that Mrs. Hix will be pardoned by
the governor. She is young and good looking.

EARL AND THE BARoNET.
A cablegram from London TO the New York
Herald says: Inasmuch as the Lonsdale-Chet-
wynd quarrel still continues TO be q frequent
topic OF conversation here, and as all sorts Of
strange and contradictory rumors are In circula-
ton aooutft have taken the pains TO ascertain
the actual facts about the origin OF the dispute.
\ now caDle the whole story, as related to
antees It's absolute correctness.
Sir George Chetwynd and Lord Lonsdale are
ootn very OLD friends of Mrs. Langtry. Owing
to some feeling of jealousy on her account. there
had been all through the past season a more or
less concealed enmity between these gentlemen.
Shortiy before the row in the BARK Lord Ions
dale, while calling upon Mrs. Langtry at her
house, happened to see on the mantelpiece q
picture of herself painted on china. He ad-
mired 1t very much, and as he rose to take his
leave he begged Mrs. Langtry TO make a present

He was finally allowed to take IL away on con-
dition OF returning II i'm few days.
THE RAPE OF THE PICTURE.
Some time passed, however. and still Lord
Lonsdale neglected to keep his promise and
bring back the picture. On the day before the
final outbreak OF hostilities Mrs. Langtry was
riding In the park with Sir George Chetwynd
| on one side of her and Lord Lonsdaie and Mr..
Alfred de Rothschild on the other. Mrs. Lang
try asked Lord Lonsdale when he was going TO
give back her picture. '.Oh." he replied, II am
going To buy it from powney." Sir George
Chetwynd then chimed in saying that Lord
Lonsdale ought to return the picture, and
adding as he turned toward him, 1T you don't
will make YOU" High words then followed
from both sides.
On the same evening Lord Lonsdale wrote to
Sir George Chetwynd requesting an apology,
and threatening chastisement in case this was
refused Sir George, however, did not see tit to
send any apology, and on the following day
wisely or unwisely-Lord Lonsdale proceeded
to the park to put his threat into execution.
He began by Haunting in Sir George Chef
wynds face the receipt from Downey. whom he
had finally persuaded to sell him the picture
which had been the bone OF the whole conten-
ton. He then committed the assault as il was
described at the time. II is not true that the

OF the unfortunate affair, which finally ar
