die in the tragic death of their only
son, John Robert. The circumstances
were as follows. Late in the after
noon of Wednesday, the 4th inst,
John, as was his custom, had gone
alone to the stables TO attend to bis
stock, not returning at his usual time,
his mother dispatched a servant to AS
certain the cause of his detention, the
servant found him lying in the stable
a corpsc-killcd by a mule kick, the
hoof print being near the postcrior
base of his skull. His neck was frac-
turcd and death must have been IN
~stantancous.
The life history of the young. so far
as ii relates to that period passed un-
der the patcrnal root, is much the
same with every one. Characteristics
of the young, however, differ as wide
ly, perhaps, as do those of individuals
of maturer age, and of Johns indivi-
duality it may be said. and seems fit
that ii should now be uttered, that he
he was a sprlghtly, vivacious, consld
crate, kind, courteous and handsome
youth, naturally of good mind, well
trained and intelligent for his age. ff-
teen years, the time of life at which
budding hope, energy, courage and
wisdom usually commence the work
Of developing aspiring youth into no.
bic manhood. John promised well
and much, soon 10 be n sisters pride
and a mothers stay, which, alas.
makes the stroke of anliciion all the
more agonizing, but upon whomsocv-
or of his creatures, Providence, in the
plcntitude Of his wisdom and mercy,
may..scc fit 10 inflict the banc, to the
same doth he also give the aniidotc,
aud 10 the bereavcd ones hath he al.
lotted, in common with all humanity,
under trying ordeals, philosophical
resignation TO the incvitable-forti-
tudc. OF consolation there is none,
save the profound sympathy of an en-
tire community. The deceased was a

PRELLER's MURDERER R.
An Effort to Get His Case Before the
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-In the United
States Supreme Court to-day the Attorney
General of Missouri submitted a motion to
dismiss, for want of jurisdiction the case of
Hugh Motram Brooks, alias w. II. Max
well, who is now in prison in st. Louis un-
der sentence of death for the murder of
Charles A. Preller The Attorney General
maintains that the case does not present
Federal question, and that this court can
not take jurisdiction of it, The
counsel for the prisoner argued in
voluminous brief that the case does pre-
sent Federal questions for the reasons:
1. That upon the trial the validity of the
Statute of the State of Missouri was called
in question on the ground Of its repugnance
to the constitution of the United States.
2. That the prisoner was induced by means
of conspiracy and plot to testify against
himself contrary to the prohibition and
guaranty of the fourteenth amendment.
3. That owing to a defect in the indict-
ment, subsequently remedied by the court,
the prisoner is about to be deprived of life
without due process of law.
4. That due process of law" requires a
public trial, and for one whole day, while
the jurors were being examined on their
uOir dire, the public were excluded from the
court room.
The counsel for the prisoner urge mum
ber Of other reasons for asking this court to
take jurisdiction of the case, many Of
them being similar to those which were
urged in the case of the Chicago Anarchists
The motion of the Attorney General of Mis-
souri, has virtually the effect of bringing
Maxwell's case before this court at once on
its merits, and il the motion to dismiss be
granted, it will of course be equivalent TO
an affirmance Of the sentence of death pro
nounced by the State court

George w. Childs Mentioned for
Arbitrator.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. George w.
Childs, who has been suggested by both
strikers and the Reading officials as proper
person to arbitrate the present difficulties,
said last evening to a Record reporter that
so far as he knew the proposition to have
him arbitrate the present trouble had not
taken any definite shape He did not hesi-
tate to say that the miners should be given
the per cent. advance, but he thought that
they should return TO work. He was of the
opinion that If they should resume work the
company and men might be able to arrive
at satisfactory agreement concerning the
rate Of wages to be paid in the future.
Messrs Carlton, Barry and Aylesworth
of the General Executive Board of the
Knights of Labor, have arrived in this city,
ana Messrs Mcclure and Bailey are on their
way here. Secretary Hayes is also here,
and also number of officials Of the Miners
Association and minor officials of theK nights
of Labor. This gathering is construed to
have reference to the pending strike of the
Reading employees.
DEAD WORK MEN QUIT.
SHENANDOAH, PA, Jan. 9.-Ever since
the strike started the Reading Company
has hadlfrom twelve to twenty men employed
at each colliery repairing breakers and do
Ing other dead work. The joint commit
tee of the Knights of Labor and Miners and
Laborers' Amalgamated Association issued
orders to day to these men to quit work
and there was general compli-
ance with the orders. At it's
breaker at No. colliery, the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company has had seventy-five men
employed repairing the slope manway and
plants destroyed by a recent fire. These
men were being paid from $l2 TO SIS per
week, according to work, but under no basis
of agreement nor yet with any intention to
recognize the Knights or joint committee.
In obedience to the dead workh order forty
of these men quit work to-day, and all will
be Off tomorrow.
NO ANTHRACITE COAL MOVED.
READING, PA, Jan. 9-Several hundred
car loads of coke per day are now reaching
the iron furnaces and factories on the line
of the Reading road. But to-day not sin
gle car of anthracite coal passed down the
road. This is something that has probably
never before occurred in the history of the
road. Dispatches from the coal
fields say that the miners have been
called out in all the individual collieries
which ship their products over the Reading
road, but have not been disturbed in mines
using other lines of transportation. The
City Council, Board of Trade and promi-
nent mine owners are taking steps to make
a vigorous appeal to the Reading road man
agement and urge a settlement by arbitra-
tion.
