MAXWELL MUST HANG.

The s. Louis jury yesterday returned a
verdict Of guilty of murder in the first de-
gree against maxwell, PREILER's murder
or. /. now remains for the sentence to be
passed and maxwell msda to stretch
hemp.
MLxwELL's arrest and conviction is one
Of the most interesting occurrences in the
criminal annals of this country. Few crimi.
mails have ever gained more notorislY than
maxwell. When he was irst arrested and
brought from Auckland to St. Louis, SEN
timsnssl people made him almost hero.
His entry into 81. Louis was more like the
triumpbal march Of some old Roman gen.
eral than the conducting to jail Of dog
who had slain his best friend. Women
showered boqueis Of choicest flowers upon
him and we're eager to gain his autograph
as q sacred ueDento, and men We'd with
each other in showing him attentions.
Bot the beautiful romance has all been
taken Of this By the trial he has
been shown to be the dog that he is, and
willignominiously die like dog. This may
have q very wholesome effect upon those
over sentimental people who have dotted
upon him.

NEw York has within the past month
sent three very notorious men to prison.
Jaime, the Doodle Alderman; MOsT, the
bowling Anarchist; and BUDDENsEIK, the
dishonest builder, ali get to wear striped
clothes and will have that ssclusion neces-
sary for dehbeIation over the fact that the
way of the trsnsgressor is hard"
This will have very quieting effect
on others who are criminsllY inclined and
upon public sentiment. There will still be
such men as JAEHNE, BUDDENSEIH and
Mosr, but their actions will be very much
discouraged By this vigorous treatment,
and public sentiment will Go more awake
against them.

BELLAIRE,

One of the most pleasant events OF the
season was the picnic of the J. j. Club, held
ON the farm of John Dubois near Pasco,
on the C. l.. & W. road. The young folks
went out in wagons and carriages. A swing
was put up, and there were other means by
which the picnickers enjoyed themselves.
The dinner spread was Of luxuriant order
and was highly enjoyed by all present. The
crowd returned home about Q clock some.
wha. tired from the days outing, but not
too exhausted TO let the merry notes OF
familiar songs ring out in the plight air,
telling in a musical way that they hsd safe
" returned. Among those present were
the Misses Hattie Moore, Lille Fitton,
Maud Heatherington, Leena Grouse, Annie
Sellsrs, Ella Moore, Bessie Miller, Ella
Weir, Emma Obberman, Laura Sellsrs,
and Minnie Marsh, aud the Messrs. Will

The indications are that before many
wears have rolled round this city will be
without any ball players of any consequence
Last year one man contrived to keep q
good club together but as yet no one has
baen found who wants to attempt 1t this
year, owing perhaps to the personal ex'
pense connected with the thing. At pre-
sent there ia plenty of good material for q
6rst class club, but il it is organized where
can suitable grounds be found tor practice
Last year kind diamond was laid out on
the creek com mons but it was found impos
able to keep it in good condition owing to
the large plumber of cows that prowl about
in that neighborhood. This year the boys
have not thought it worth while to bother
with the old ground and are waiting foi
something to turn up. The city wants az
enclosed diamond of some kind and as We
have enoughEplayers to meet il, we ough
to have it. Steubenville has beautiful
place for her games which is not as large
as the gublic,gqusre. They can't play bal
up there but they think they can and teV
men with money are letting them try it
At GAINESVILLE they have a good held ana

RESULTS OF x. OF L. CONVENTION

REsULrS OF X. OF L. CONVENTION
The Knights of Labor, after twelve
days session at Cleveland, adjourn. The
causes of their meeting together, as ou:,
lined By Nc. PowDERLY, as will be recollect.
ed, were these:
The rapidly increasing membership re.
quires changes in the laws which the Ger
eral Executive Board have no authority to
make; second, the laws in relation to the
government of boyeotting are wholly made
quats to compel obedience on the part Of
assemblies that believe in boyeottipg for
every ofsnss whether great or small; third,
the laws in relation to strikes do not cover
the ground necessary to give the General
Executive Board power to interfere in such
until after q strike has been inauguratsd;
fourth, the order has become involved
difficulties with trade societies and an
effort is being made to create q rupture
between these societies and the Knights of
Labor"
The results were about ss follows: An
auxiliary board Of ak members was added
to the General Executive Board, bat these
have no vote 1t was found that changes
ia the laws could not bs made ct & special
session and 50 none were made. The too
rapid growth of the order was sought to BE-

prevented By snnuling the commissions OF
oil organizers. Nothing Of much import
ance was done in regard to strikes and boy
cotts--no strikes or boycotts must be de-
clsred except by the General Executive
Board, unless the case Is urgent, and can
admit Of no delsy-but when men want to
strike or boycott they want to do 1t bad,
and of course think there can be no delay.
Then this change viii Lot prove adequate
Congress was psitioned to give the land
of the country to American citizens, secur'
ing by purchase or otherwise al lands held
By aliens, and also taxing men who own
more than l60 acres Of unimproved
land the same as for improved
land. Also, it Was asked that
BY the Government, alone, issue the cur
reney of the country and that interest
throughout the States be uniform. Hsr'
nony was restored with the Amslgsmated
Association. and frsternsl circulars were
sent out to the trades unions and to the
Changers
Most of the work done has been for tht
better. The Order shows itself strong anc
much freer from discussions than many
had supposed. In the many difficult ques
tons before them, it could not be expected
that they would steer clear Of every mis-
AXE. When we see how political econc
mists puzzle their heads over some OF tn
questions before the Cleveland convention
/, is not surprising that majority OF tn
Knights present favor the rather Will
schemes of taxing unimproved land q
heavily as improved, and of reversing tn
lands of supply and demand By making IN
terest uniform in every section Of tn
country.
