After Three Years Delay the Sentence OF
Death is Carried Into Enect-Landgraf
Also Hanged.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10.-Hugh N. Brooks,
alias Walter H. Lennox Maxwell, was ex-
ecuted in the jail yard this morning few
minutes before nine O'Clock for the murder
of Charles Arthur Preller in April, 1885.
At the same time Henry Landgraf was
hanged for the murder of Annie Tesch in
March, 1885.
At $40 Sheriff Harrington, accompanied
by deputy entered the yard and the sheriff
entered Maxwell's cell, where he and Land
graf had been placed together, and an
nounced that the final moment had ar
rived.
Maxwell paled aud pulled his fingers
nervously. His was the first death war
rant read, and he stood up and heard his
doom calmly though he was plainly grow
ing weaker all the time.
As Maxwell passed through the inner
yard he walked firmly but slowly. There
was a wonderful change from the appa-
rently unconcerned man putting cigarette
and the one en- route to his death. His
face looked pinched and drawn, of an ashy
hue, and his eyes were swollen.
He glanced about him piteously, his lips
twitching, and his appearance was calcu-
lated to awaken even the pity of those
who were convinced he ought to die.

AN HONEST MAN.

He Gives Up Every Dollar He Has to Pro-
tect His Creditors and Proposes to BegiE
at the Bottom of the Ladder Again.
TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 10.-The firm OF
John Taylor & Co., the leading pork
packers in New Jersey, suspended busi-
ness Wednesday. Disastrous specula-
tions on the New York and Chicago Pro-
duce Exchanges precipitated the failure.
Tie liabilities amount TO $3.50 900, and the
firm estimate their assets at $3.50, 900. The
principal creditors are the Bank OF
Trenton, $4,000; Major Frank A. Nc
Gowan, of Trenton, $4S. 600; Ferdinand
Roebliug. 5000; Thomas B. Taylor,
S21, 600; VIM. H. Skrim, sc. 900, Vancamp
& Worthington, $4,000, and Ex.COn-
gresham John Hart Brewer, 5000.
The banks are fully secured, as are also
Mayor MCGOWAN and other leading cred
itors. Ex-St Senator John Taylor,
the head OF the firm, has stripped HIM
self of every dollar to protect the cred
itors. Tho mas b. Taylor, his brother
has received the deed of his beautiful,
State street residence, and Mr.. ROebling
the Taylor Opera House stock shares for
the sum due him. The only heavy loser
will be Mr. Taylor himself. His friends,
now ever, nave dTOunu anu
the creditors will probably arrange
matters so that he may continue busi-
ness.
Mr.. Taylor has been prominent politi-
cally and socially, as well as in trade,
and his failure has produced a profound
sensation. He has held several impor-
taut offices besides that of State Senator,
and has once or twice declined the nomi-
nation for Governor. The Taylor Opera
House, of which he is the principal owner,
is named after him, and he is president
Of the new Interstate Fair Association.
He is also heavily interested in the Union
Pottery Company, which may not be az
fected by his failure.
81 began business without a dollar
many years ago." said Mr.. Taylor last
night, "and am willing to begin again at
the bottom OF the ladder"
He is very popular here, and his sue
cessful future is wished for and pre-
dicted.

IN HONOR OF BLAINE.

The Great Parade In New York City m
Honor of the Return to His Native Coun-
try of Hon. James G. Blaine-The Steam
er WAS Late. and the Principal Feature
of the Demonstration was Lacking.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The parade IN
honor of MIR. Blaine last night was con-
Quoted with much eclat, despite the de-
sentiou at sea of the great apostle of pro-
lection. Fifth avenue sidewalks were
crowded. and as the gay paraders,
with bands, banners and torches, swept
along, a continuous roar of applause
resounded in their glad ears. The most
striking novelty OF the occasion was the
multitude of flags displayed. Every
man in the procession waved flag on his
cane. There were big flags, little flags,
and all sorts of flags. The big campaign
ball. fourteen feet in diameter, and dat
ing from 1910, was greatly applauded rs
it rolled along.
The parade started from Twenty ninth
street promptly at s p. m, platoon OF
police clearing the way, and Grand Mar
shal General Joseph c. jackson leading,
with his aide, Colonel John w. Jacobs,
followed by Chief staff General Henry
4. Barnum and his special aides, about
fifty in number, presenting brilliant
appearance. Then came the many or
ganiZations Of clubs from this and other
cities, in their varied and striking uni
forms and costumes, and many of them
attended by excellent bands of music, Civ
ing forth patriotic and stirring airs.
Many carried banners inscribed with the
principles of their party.
The grand stand opposite the Fifth
Avenue Hotel was crowded with favored
persOnages admitted by ticket in
Guiding many lalies who showed their
loyalty to the spirit of the occasion by
displaying little flags as part Of their
adornment A large portrait of Mr..
Blaine stood in the center Of the stand,
and the structure was lavishly decorated
with flowers and flags
Hon. Levi p. Morton appeared on the
stand at half-past eight O'Clock, escorted
by Generals Barnum and Knapp and
others. He was vociferously cheered.
Among those who shook his hand were
Walker Blaine, Mr.. Quay, Jas. w.
Hustled and General N. p. Banks.
Mr.. Morton reviewed the parade as it
swept by, and he was loudly cheered from
the ranks, cries OF "Tippecanoe aud Nor
ton too" frequently mingling with the ap-
plause.
After the parade was over, many of the
ut-of-town clubs marched to the depots
and started for home.
The affair was, on the whole, q highly
successful one, as we'll us unique in the
history of political demonstrations. The
march past the reviewing stand occupied
two hours and ten minutes, and it is eSti-
mated that fifteen thousand men were IL
line.

SWEPT BY FIRE.

A Large Portion OF the Business Blocks,
Including the Court House,at LiJchfield,
Conn.,. Burned.
WATERBURY,, Conn.,, Aug. 9-FOr the
second time in three years Litchfield suf-
fered the loss of a large portion of her
business blocks this morning. At 1. a.
m. flames were discovered breaking from
the roof of the Beach's block. This build
ing was entirely Of wood and burned so
rapidly that no attempt was made to save
it. The lower floor was occupied by Gran
mis- g. Elmore's grocery. The flames
spread to the building directly east, oc-
cupied by c. e. Shumway, har-
ness maker; thence to Sanford &
Sharp's tin shop, and from
this to Grammar & Bissells dry goods
establishment. Hopes were entertained
of being able to save the new courthouse,
which was recently erected at a cost OF
$4,000, but all efforts were unavailing,
and the building was burned to the ground.
The next block to catch fire was the one
owned by Woolcott Wheeler, but the
flames were speedily checked. The ruins
of the courthouse were still burning
fiercely at nine O'Clock this morning. The
exact losses and insurances can not YET
be ascertained.

"A story comes from Brewton, Ala,
which may be read with interest and prof
it. A gentleman seeking residence found
one just suited to his taste in all but the
inside ornamentation Of the house, but be-
ing gentleman of means as well as taste,
he accepted the house and turned it over
to the upholsterer for renovation. The most
elaborate inside decorations were soon
made by the skillful painters, the walls
papered in the highest style of art and in
perfect unison with the furnishings. The
landlord, hearing of the improvements,
concluded it would be a good time
to exact rack rent" He had several
offers to rent the house. so he pulled
down on the tenant for big raise.
The tenant could not stand that. He con-
cluded to leave, but kick as he left. He
desired revenge-deep, solid and lasting.
So happy thought struck him. 1t was
dark and villainous thought. but perhaps
justifiable under the circumstances. He
hied him again to the wall papering man
and looked over the samples of paper, and
finding one, a horror in bad figures of
black and mud color, contracted for it to
be put up, so as to completely hide the
beautiful blue and gold paper of the first
edition. The papering was scarcely COM
pleted before the landlord dropped in to
see whether the tenant had not relented q
little. He was shown into the parlor.
Hardly had he touched the soft cushions
of the chair than he sprang to his feet and
fed the house. He had seen the paper on
the wall, and was horrified.

eighteen-year-old son of Solomon
Richardson, of Racine, left his home
for Portland, Ore. He reached his
destination safely and lived there until
a few months ago, when, walking
along the shore, he was suddenly
seized from behind and carried on
board steamer which sailed for En-
gland that night. He was subjected
TO the cruelest treatment and was
nearly starved. In due time the vessel
reached Plymouth, but he was not
liberated, and it was only after waiting
for considerable time that an oppor-
tunity offered itself for him to mail a
letter containing the facts. Mr.. Rich
ardson has placed the matter in the
hands of his attorneys, who will en-
deavor to have the boy returned.
