Ohio, on the Chicago and Erie Road, the
other morning. They went through a num-
Der of houses. and about 3 o'clock were

in F. NJ. Halls store. The alarm was given,
and posse Of citizens organized. The build-
ing was surrounded while the robbers were
at work on the safe, and preparations were
made for their capture.
When the posse closed in on them the rob
bers opened fire on them. This was the be-
ginning OF a fierce battle, and for ten min
utes there was rapid exchange OF shots.
While the robbers guard held the crowd
in check. the thieves blew open the
safe and took out the contents. They then
beat a retreat, but not until one OF their
number, whose remains have not yet been
identified was killed Charles Hover aud

James Maxwell's Bravado on the
Soafold at Morris, Ill.

James Maxwell was hanged at l0:47 on q
recent morning at Morris. Ill. for the
murder OF Charles Decker in June last. He
died apparently the most unconcerned man
in the town OF Norris
The murder was the result Of Maxwell and
a colored man being discovered about mid
night on June Is by Decker in the latter's
house for tho purpose OF robbery. Decker
was killed bv blows from a Ratchet.
When the Sheriff showed some evidences
Of rrepidation at the task before him, Max
well said:
Brace up, old man You ara much moro
troubled about this than l am"
he slept well and ate breakfast with a0-
parent relish that morning. His spiritual
advisers received a severe shock when they
went in 10 administer the last worus OF
consolation TO him. An enterprising
reporter had been before them, In the
guise OF a minister, with the idea of getting
an interview. When the newspaper repre-
sentative began TO question hum as To his
spiritual welfare Maxwell threw Off the re-
hgious mask which he had hitherto worn
and drove his visitor from him with a string
OF curses OF the most profane sort.
When the Sheriff began 10 read the death
warrant in a trembling voice Maxwell inter
rupted with:
stop that CAB, Shredder, and let us get
through this thing soon as possible"
His wish was complied with and he was at
once conducted TO the gallows A brief
prayer was offered, the prisoners arms and
legs were pinioned and the moose adjusted.
The Sheriff asked Maxwell if he had any,
thing to say. His reply was a complaint
that the Sheriff had put a window in the
shanty in which the execut on took place,
so that the crowd outside could see him.
The Sheriff then cut the cord and the body
fell. In six minutes Maxwell was pro-
nounced dead.
Just before lea wing the cell Maxwell
handed the Sheriff big knife. telling him
that he might have killed himself a Lalf-
dozen times if he had wanted to.

Died While Speaking.

Much excitement was caused among the
Germany, by the sudden death of one of
their number. The Congress was engaged in
discussing means to improve the position of
the Socialist press. Herr Baumgarten, one
OF the delegates from Hamburg, was
taking part in the debate. He was in
the midst Of an argument, in pre-
senting which he had become excited. when
ne was seen to stagger. Those close to him
rushed to his aid, but before they could
reach him he fell to the floor dead. The
cause Of his death is not known, but it was
probably due ejther to heart disease or apo
plexy.
After the body of Herr Baumgarten had
been removed from the hall and the excite
ment had subsidized the debate was resumed.

BThe editor Of the Bellaire Independent
lie one of the most influential Republicans In
eastern Ohio, and his ideas concerning Broth
er Foraker are entitled to come considera-
tion. He says:
''Foraker and hisfriends led the Republican
party to defeat last November, but they do
not seem to be satisied and want to lead
again and secure with that end in view the
temporary Organization Of the State Conven-
ton. Foraker Is to be chairman and will
strike the key, note as il is called. There is a
large element il the Republican party in
Ohio that prefers to have other leaders than
Foraker and hiszfiends and his sotivity in
the campaign will very likely be followed by
another defeat"

| u The statue Of Robt. E. Lee was un-
veiled at Richmond on the 29th of May, in
the presence of large concourse of people,
estimated to number 10000.
The Lee monument is situated on the AL
len plat in the West End, in the direct line
of the most fashionable residence section,
The monument is placed at the intersection
| OF two wide avenues on the summit of as
cending grades. 1t is inclosed in circle of
200 feet in diameter, with street 65 feet in
width on each side, SO that the distance
through the area, from building line to build
ing line, is $50 feet, -. ..
The pedestal of the monument consists of
two parts, which may be termed the base and
the pedestal proper. The base is formed
with rectangle, with the surface inclined
tains are located, upon which statues of
Lees generals may hereafter be placed. In
the interior of the grouping another inclined
surface leads upwards to the pedestal proper.
Here the transition from the straight lines
to the rectangle to the graceful curves Of q
cylindrical form have been skillfully har.
monized by the artist. The change is not
noticed, and upon the front and rear are
seen an oval space, upon which bas-reliefs]
are placed, surrounded by a tracery in gran
lite of the laurel, the ivy and the oak. Above
is lions head, as if ready for battle, with
a pose of courage inbred by conscious pow-I
or.
On the sides are four columns appearing
to support the great weight, between which a
bronze tablet appears with the name of Lee
gilded beneath laurel wreath. The pedes-
tai and base are of white granite, the COL
umns dark blue. The height of the pedestal
is forty feet and few inches, and that of
the statue slightly more than twenty feet,
making the total height about 81 feet above
the ground.
5 The sculptor, M. Mercie, Of Paris, who has
immortalized Lee in bronze, is French
man, who in early life gave evidence of great
ability. he was scarce 30 years Of age when
he was decorated at Rome. His famous
works adorn the streets of Paris and the halls
Of the Luxembourg Palace. He has given to
the world the picture of Lee as he appeared
upon the battlefield Of Gettysburg. His face
is calm and majestic, but full of power. The
horse which he bestrides has all four feet on
the ground, yet he appears as il in the act of
walking. A forefoot is planted in advance
while the hind foot on the same side seems
about to follow. The head is slightly bent to
one side, while the tail falls gracefully clear
Of the fanks.
General Lees dress is characteristically
plain. He is girt with sash, which pre-
sumably hides belt from which swings the
sword Of commander of cavalry. He ia
without epaulets, but upon the forearm of
the coatsleeve is an ornament of broad
braid. His hat is crushed in his right hand,
while he holds the reins in his left. The feet
are well tipped in the stirrups, the right foot
being slightly in advance Of the left.

In letter addressed to an American
publishing firm Mr.. Henry M. Stanley asserts
that there is space enough in one section Of
the Upper Congo basin to locate double the
number of negroes now in the United States
without disturbing single tribe of the
aborigines. This region, he says, is healthy;
anything and everything could be grown in
it, and every unit of the 100000 negroes
might become the owner Of nearly a quarter
square mile Of land. Mr.. SANKEY'S state
ments are certainly suggestive, although he
exaggerates when he predicts that the race
question in this country will always remain
an incurable Tester. Some day the rein Of

solved. 4 Az

over the district. more Of them in five of the
seven counties than there were in Wood, and
more of them in Mr.. Hills own county than
In any other one. As compared with the
vote for Mcbride, Democratic candidate for
Secretary Of State, Mr.. Hill ran behind the
head OF his ticket, IN Defiance county 239
votes, in Fulton 274 votes, in Henry l41
votes. in PauldinR PIG votes, in Van Vert 45
votes, in Williams 2l2, and in Wood 1876
votes. Wood county did second best for
him and Williams county, the home of his
competitor, did better than his own county.
The fact is, the scratch four years ago was
too general over the district to be charged to
the knife of any one man.

Because the people of this county
choose to treat with contempt the absurd and
ridiculous, and at the same time injurious,
stuff the Toledo Blade had been publishing
against this county and its citizens, the editor
of that rabid Republican sheet has the i'm
pertinence to say that we are an ignorant
people and do not read. This is adding in
suit to injury. and stamps the editor of that
paper conceited ass. On the contrary, the
people of Henry county are one of the best
read communities of the great northwest, and
are possessed of intelligence enough to dis
tinguish the difference between Republican
political buncombe and facts.
