MAXWELL MUST HANG

Unless the Governor of Missouri Ex-
ercises His Power.
Among the dozen or 50 decisions handed
down by the United States supreme Court
yesterday perhaps none of them were OF
greater interest than that 10 the case OF
Hugh NJ. Brooks, alias Walter II. Maxwell,
against the commonwealth OF Missouri.
Brooks or Maxwell, now under sentence OF
death in st. Louis. is the little Englishmln
who murdered his travelling companion, c
Arthur Preller III room In the SoutherH
Hotel at St Louis in April, 1855. 1t was t.
most cold blooded affair After CblOroform
ing Prellcr Brooks placed the body IN
trunk and then escaped. He was traced to
san Francisco, aud later on was captured In
New Zealand. The case was fought stub
bornly in the state courts. and was finally
brought to the Supreme Court OF the United
States upon writ of error. The decision
by the formal tribunal is upon motion
made by the attorney general of Missouri to
dismiss for want Of federal Jurisdiction.
The decision was announced by Chief JUS
tice Waite, who says "This court Is un-
able, after a careful examination of the
record. to find that the plaintiff In error has
been deprived OF any right, privilege, or
immunity guaranteed to him by the consti-
tuition of the United States, and the motion
to dismiss for want OF jurisdiction is,
therefore. granted Its effect is toconlrm
the decision Of the lower court, and Brooks
will have to suffer the death penalty.

EN-Gov. JOHN L. LEWIS.
His Condition Less Encouraging Than
a Few DnHs Ago.

The friends of this gentleman will regret
to learn that he is not so well as he has
been since the operation. When he arrived
here some three weeks since he was In such
a feeble state that the operation on his eye
had TO be delayed. At that time his sut-
fering was very great, the pain in the head
being SO severe as to keep him awake
nights. After the operation was performed
for several days he rested well, and 1t was
hoped that there would be no recurrence
of the trouble in the head, but last night
he rested badly, and his frien Is, who are
very numerous, are uneasy about him.
Many have inquired at the residence OF his
son.in law, Hon. John Amber Smith, l44G
q street, where he is staying, as to the
governors condition, and expressed the
hope that he will recover his health and
show his dtime yigor in the coming po-

no DISCRETIONARY POWER
In Constituting tho Law Relating to

Michael O'BrIen, 1901 $ street, pro-
tested to the commissioners against the
assessment of part OF lot ?, square -, for
laying water main on i street, from
TwentyGrSt street to the alley, for the
reason that it is unjust until main is laid
en- the north side OF the street. He alleges
that the tax is not uniform, and thinks
that his property should enjoy the same
privileges granted to others, The com
missioners In reply say; "The law relating
to assessment Of water main tax provides
that such tax accfues TO all property bind
ing upon any part Of the street where the
main is laid, and makes no distinction as to
the position OF the main, whether in center
or on side OF the street. The law is mau.
