ST. LOUIS, August 3.-When the news
reached here this morning that the British
Government had requested further respite
tor Hugh VI. Brooks, better known as Max
well, Oh the ground that both the murderer
snd his victim were British subjects, II
created no little surprise, though new
move has been looked for. Governor Moore
house has received merely formal tele-
graphic notice that tie papers have been
forwarded by mail, and does not know what
action he will take. John l. Martin, one OF
Maxwelps attorneys, says the request for
respite was secured through the efforts oi
Maxwelps father with Lord Salisbury, and
claims that new corroborative testimony has
been developed which will save Maxwell
from the gallows. He IS confident that the
Governor VIII grant the respite. CiTcult-
Attorney Clover is not surprised, and thinks
II probable the respite Will be granted. He
is firmly convinced, however, that Maxwell
must eventually hang.

that SO far as you were concerned you
would be kept constantly busy enlarging
your house. Would this not be awful }"
Mr.. Thompson said nothing. He
groaned dismally and he was the picture
OF misery.
lin all this" said We, "is TO be seen
the utter vapidity of human happiness.
A few moments ago you were rejoicing
in your daughters seeming prosperity,
but now you discover that you have
nursed delusion, and that the very
growth which you hailed and for whose
continuance you prayed is likely to be-
come a sorrow--a burden too heavy for
YOU TO bear. Foolish man, invite no
misfortune by tempting Providence with
silly prayers and vain opportunities:
Accept that which is as for the best aud
esteem that only as happiness which
neither the present concerns nor the fu-
ture can effect"
Mr.. Thompson left us q changed man.

denly gone out OF his life.

afternoon and two others were killed by
leapine from the windows OF The upper sto-
rics of the building. Six more burned so
badly that they VIII proDably die were re-
moved to vtrious hospitals. The house was
a ramshackle hidden m the middle OF
block, the only eRtrance TO u being anarrow
alleyway from the Bowery. In front OF It
WAS four story building. on the tirst floor
al which was a saloon called the =" White
Elephant" Adjoining this Is Harry Miners
Peoples Theatre. In rear NJ the burned
bulidirg were two houses benming 1t In on
the cbrlsl,o-strect side. In this caged.in
building lived about $50 people. Each OF
the six floors was occupied by single family,
the head OF which was a tailor who made
clothing Tor the cheap wholesale clothing
houses, and employed from tiitees 70 twenty
men, women, and children In addition to bis
own family in making w clothing.
They were all Polish Jews, and the employ
ers and the employed worked, ate, and slept
in the crowded rooms OF the dlngy tenement.
About f:l5 O'Clock this afternoon, while all
the occupants OF the building were buslly
AZ work IN the closing hours preceding their
Sabbath eve, flames broke ont on the lower
floor. It had already gained such Roadway
that II was In full POSSESSION Of the stairway,

Of the frightened inmates, however. rushed
down through the flames apd escaped to the
narrow courtyard with their clothes ablaze
and hsnds, faces, and bodies burned. six
OF them were 40 severely burned that they
were taken to the hospital and may die.
There we're fire.escapes on the house, per-

trout and rear Of the building, but before
any OF the inmates had ,Tied TO escape by
them the flames had asceuded through The
house and were rushing from the windows,
so that descent by The fireeseapes was i'm
possible.
Several OF the bodies were burned so badly
that they fell apart when moved and were
unrecoEAizqble, and the iremen were obliged
to lower them from the windows in mats.
The fire started on the first hoor in the
apartments OF the ianitress Of the building,
and was caused by the explosion OF kero'

The Heesch Tragedy Explained.

A Chicago special SAYS; A new and start
ling phase in the mystery attending the death
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Heesch was developed to-
day. Heesch WAS a sufferer from rheuma'
tism, and both he ard bis vile were in the
habit OF taxing eiecrric.batbs and being treat
ed by electrical appliances. Investigations
at the house of the dead couple disclosed an
electric battery charged so heavily that
shock from 1t given by an inexperienced
hand would surely produce death.
1t is now supposed that on SATURDAY night
after the Heesches rescued home and were
about going 10 bed Mrs. Heesch asked Der
husband to treat her with the battery. This
he did, aud imam unfortunate moment accl-
dentally turned on the battery at full
strength, giving his wife such shock that
she fell back dead. Realizing that he had
been the cause Of her death the frantic man
took his own life by hanging himself TO the
door.
