A sensational CASE.
Tuscarora Timcs-Ret ~.

The trial Of Maxwell, charged with
the murder of Preller at st. Louis,
bids fair to be as sensational as the
alleged murder itself. The defense
set up is novel and ingenius. 1t is
probable that Maxwell will be aided
by the company IN which Preller was
insured. And, perhaps, his peculiar
line of defense has been suggested to
him by the efforts Of the insurance
company to avoid payment OF the
policy on Preeler's life. It may be
difficult to prove that the corpse found
in Maxwel's room was that of Prcel-
Ter, and this makes at least one loop
hole Of escape for the accused. And
il, as he claims, he should be able to
prove the truth of his story when the
case comes to trial, what chagrin
would overcome the detectives!
The inquiry naturally arises: If
Preller is still alive, why does he not
come forward at once, and establish
Maxwell's innocence? There can be
nothing gained by further conceal
ment, si.ce Maxwell's sole hope of
escape rests upon his chance to prove
that the body found in the trunk was
not that of Preller. And tins being
established, Of course the alleged
scheme to get the insurance money
on Preller's life would be failure.
Ii Maxwell's story be true, and Prel-
Ter be alive, surely the latter would
not desert him. 1t is inconceivable
that Preller could thus sacrifice
friend. But his silence, SO far, might
possibly be explained on the theory
that should he reveal himself, he
would be in danger of arrest for
conspiracy to defraud.
Maxwel's story is in the highest
degree improbable. What has been
published Of the character of Preller
| is inconsistent with the assertion that
he made a plot to de'raud an insur-
ance company. He has been describ-
ed as IA Christian gentleman of means,
much Of whose time was devoted to
evangelical work.

The land in Mexico which the Nor
mon leaders nave contracted for on
which to locate proselytes, is situated
in the northern part of the State of
Chihuahua, near the boundary of Ar
iona and New Mexico and the line
of the State of Sonora. 1t is good
grazing land and with water is sus-
ceptible of being farmed. The land
has not been paid for yet, but will be
soon, and settlers will begin to locate
in December.

The Administration has decided to

The Administration has decided to
have no more Apache wars in Arzo-
ma. The Interior Department has
appointed Captain +, +. Pierce, Of
the First Infantry, Indian Agent at
the San Carlos reservation, from which
the Apaches have been in the habit
of making raids upon the settlements
aud numbering the people of Arizona
AID New Mexico. 1t is probable, too,
that army officers will be placed in
charge oil all the reservations where
Indians are troublesome, so as to pre-
vent further outbreaks by the red
men. Settlers on the frontier, who
presumably know more about Indians
than the citizens of the Eastern states,
have for years been advocating the
abolition of the Indian Bureau, and
placing the Indians under the imme-
diate control of the War Department.

A terrible accident is reported from
Little Gallon, Louisiana. A few
days ago, while Emile Lirette was
molding bullets for his gun, prepare
tory to joining number Of friends
in target-shooting, he asked his wife
to fill his powder-horn for him. She
was some ten or twelve feet from the
fireplace, where few Goals were
smoldering. The task was but half
completed, when a gust of wind sud-
denly blowing through the open door
sent the sparks straight at the pow
der, which ignited and a terrific ex-
plosion followed. The roof of the
dwelling was torn off, three children
were instantly killed, the mother re-
ceived such injuries that before many
hours she too was dead, while the
husband and father and two children
were badly wounded. The noise OF
the explosion brought number OF
noighbors to the scene, where the
bruised and blackened bodies of the
whole family told the sad story.

Tho body of Preller has been ex-
hnmed at St. Louis, to determine
whether it would be worth while to
summon witnesses to identify it when
Maxwell is put on trial. The remains
which were embalmed before burial,
were found in excellent preservation
and looking even better than when
inferred. The probabilities are that
friends Of the deceased will be brought
from the East and Canada to identify
the body. The trial Of Maxwell will
not take place until October.

Tie Osaso Senate Dcl. ocrai:c.

The Supreme Court OF Ohio. to
whom the question of the !Iamil-
ton county election was referred TO
for final decision. have decided that t
the election of Democrats is legal.
and ordered the clerk to issue ccr-
tificates of election to the Democrat
ic candidates for the Senate and the
House.
This makes the Senate Democrat
ic and will prevent any re-distrlct-
ing or reorganization of the pubic
Institutions The only changes
likely to be made will be in the
Board of Pcnitc,r:mrv Trustees
The Republican member of that
Board 7ho!tiin. the longest term, is
likely to resign. The stand pipe
and the cattle purchases are of a
Bosenweinian nature that suggest
the proPrlety of Resignation for the
sake of Harmony.
The attempted fraud of the Re-
pu6llcanS, to steal the Senate, and
then rediStrict the State has been
thwarted by the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court is the final
place Of resort in a controversy
The Court has decided in favor of
the Democrats. Let us have har-
mony.

The Republican candidates for

The Republican candidates for
the Legislature, who were defeated
in Hamilton county, have engaged
board in Columbus. and propose to
take their seats whether or no, but
they will probably fail to"git thar. -
However, Bob Harlan, the coon
gambler, who is member of the
delegation, can open a poker room
and skin the rest of the Republican
members and make his expenses in
that way. The last Republican
Legislature was the greatest poker
playing institution ever known in
Columbus, and the one this winter
promises to equal it.

join in the whirl for an hour every

cheeks and STOPPING shoulders, more

travelling man, after his days work,
"to take an hour of flight in the
charmed circle under the inspiration
of the orchestra, and then so back
to his hotel, say his prayers and
dream of home" In conclusion the
great preacher says: "But while
there are the possibilities of health

damaging of the body, mind and
soul. Let us have less vulgarity and
less indiscriminate acquaintance
