St. Louis, May 19-H. NJ. Brooks,
alias Maxwell, on trial for the murder

nox, Maxwell, M. D, He identified

DESTRUCTION OF A RESIDENCE BY FIRE
AND -FOUR CHILDREN PERISH IN THE
FLAMES.
Akron, Ohio, May ia disastrous
fire occurred here this morning in which
four lives we're lost and a number of
Others were injured.
DETAILS OF TIL HOLOCAUST.
The home of Mrs. Mary Mooney, a
widow living about three miles north of
Akron, was burned to the ground short
ly before midnight last night and four
of Mrs. Moneys children persisted in
the flames. Mrs. Mooney woke at night
choking with smoke. Snatching q two
year old baby, she told the other little
ores to follow her. She sprang out Of
the window with the babe, landing un-
hurt. Mrs. Mooney and her brother-in-
Law, Lawrence Mooney, rushed into the
house to rescue the children, bnt were
beaten back by the flames. MIR. Mooney
was terribly burned, the flesh hanging in
shreds from his hands. It took but q
few minutes longer for the flames to
the little building and this
morning the eharred bits of heeh end
bones of foar little onee were
found in the ruins. Moneys injuries
may prove fasal. Mrs. Mooney and her
two grown daughters are wild with
grief. Tbs fire caught from an ovsr.
heated stove.

cleveland and the Coming Campais

Cleveland m the Coming Campaign
New York, May achievements IN
New York with reference to the demo.
cratic nomination in 1888 ale very much
more forward than those which relate to
the republican choice. There is q dis
position among the democratic wheel
horses to push Grover Cleveland aside.
Governor Hills friends have succeeded
to the control Of the party organization,
which Manning laid Ndown to enter the
treasury. Manning was the one man
whose grip was strong enough to have
retained this state for Cleveland under
any and all circumstances. With
the secretary i'll and not likely ever to
regain his old activity
with federal patronage with
held from the party, and with Governor
Hill using his own position and i'm
mense patronage of his Office in build
ing up Hill democracy, in an alliance
with the victorious Tammany organize
ton OF this city, the. presidents stock
has been lowered to the lowest market
point. Such democratic leaders as John
OBrlen, chairman Of the state commit
tee, openly nou that they intend
to take the president at his word and
give him only one term. Smith Nj
Weed. q veteran Iilden leader, to-day
said, in plain language, he had no idea
that Cleveland could or would be o
candidate for denomination. Ex-Speaker
Erwin of the New York assembly to-day
said about Hill: "He is the best polite.
ian in the democratic party and an able
man. There are contingencies IN which
he could poll more republican votes
than any democrat who could be named
for president"
There is a great deal of this sentiment
among the republicans, indicative of the
fact that the mugwumpeiy of 1884 has
bred a spirit of independence among the
stalwart element that may prove the
wbirlwind sown by the wind.

WESTERN CROPS.

summary OF the Condition OF the
Growing Plant in Various states.
Chicago, May 1.-THE following crop
summary will be printed in this weeks
issue of the Farmers Review: The
heavy rains OF the past week have les
sened somewhat the former excellent
outlook for spring wheat. In Nebraska,
Wisconsin,, Minnesota and Dakota the
rainfall has also occasloned some injury
to winter wheat. Iu Wisconsin, Michl-
gan and Indiana, where some wheat was
beginning to head out, the plant does
not indicate, however, any damage as
yet. In other respects the outlook for
the crop IN all the other states and terri
tories ls excellent. Reports OF a poor
showing Tor winter wheaf, or reports OF
injury from Insect life, with the excep.
ton OF permanent damage heretofore
noted In various counties of Kansas, are
rare and isolated, The presence
CT the chinch bug ia
noted IN Morrisonyille county, central
illinois, and several Indiana counties.
In Indiana winter wheat has attained g
growth of from ten to fifteen inches, and
IN Crawford, Henry, Jay, LAGRANGE,
switzerland and Vermillion, which
send in such reports this week, the out
look continues excellent. The only
county IN Missouri to send in a report
OF g poor showing for winter wheat is
Clay. The report states that one-third
OF the acreage has been piowad up. The
generality OF reports from Missouri in
dictate a crop of twenty-five per cent
sAhnv1 tho Naraon H Tn z.1
Shelby counties the outlook is declared
the best ever known. In Kansas some
OF the counties note an improvement in
the winter wheat outlook within the last
thirty days. In Jefferson county there
IT promises OF asventy-five per cent of
an average crop, In Llncpln county
early sown wheat has been saved and
In Pawnee county the present
prospect is for a fsir average crop. But
Ter Is to be added to the list of counties
where the crop is an entire failure. Re-
ports from Michigan indicate an i'm
provement in tbs wheat outlook within
the past two weeks. Reports from Ohio
arc generally of q promising character.
In Ashtabnla county, however, the re-
ports indicate q poor outlook. Reports
from Dakota continue favorable. Fargo.
one OF the principal wheat raising
counties III the Red river valley, reports
that the outlook could not be improved,
while Cass county reports the condition
OF wheat twenty per cent above the
average. Reports from Minnesota are
uniformly good. Nebraska counties stlll
complain of too much rain, and that
wheat on all the lowlands is looking
poorly. The general average crops Of
the uplands is good.
