 He was born in the mountains of Monroe county, Ky, March 30, 1895, and received such an early education as the schools of that city af- forded At the age of r years he was appointed cadet at West Point.

 He returned to Kentucky in 1s49 and took up the study of law. For several years he was county clerk and master in chancery of Monroe county. In 1857, he came to this state and located in this city. The next year he was elected states attorney for the old Eighth judicial district. In 1860 he was elected to the state senate Before it convened the war broke out and he resigned to organize a company. When the appointed day arrived there was enough to make regiment, and the Ninth Texas infantry was organ ized, with Maxey as colonel. In few weeks he was advanced to the position of brigadier- general. His old regiment was one of the most noted for hard fighting of any that entered the war. He was at Shiloh and Port Hudson, and was with Joseph E. Johnston in the effort to raise the siege of Vicks burg. In 1864 he was made ma jorg general and placed in command of the Indian department.
 After the war he resumed the prac- tice of law He continued to practice until 1875, when he was elected to the United States senate over John II. Reagan and ex-Gov. Throckmorton. He was reelected over Gov. Throck- morton in 1881. The contest in 1ss7 was long and bitter one His op- ponents were John II. Reagan and Judge A. w. Terrell, the present minis ter to Turkey. Maxey retired from the race and left the field to Judge Reagan. Since that time he has lived quiet life.

R. E. Anderson, of this city. and Nat Dryden, of St Louis, will be the attorneys for the defense Col Ander- son was asked if habeas curpus pro- ceedidgs would be instituted, and re- piled that he was unable to answer that question until after he had con suited with Mir Dryden. Dr. Hearne has repeatedly said that he would not ask for change of venue if indicted, but it is supposed that an effort will be made to take the case to some other county. The court of common pleas adjourned immediately after the indictment was reported. The Sep tember term will convene Septemb Der i6.
 It is supposed that the grand jury had considerable important evidence in it's possession that did not come to light in the dispositions taken in the libel suit of Dr. Hearne vs. M II. De Young proprietor of the San Fran cisco Chronicle.
 When the party arrived at the jail, Mrs. Hearne was calm and collected while the doctor was perceptibly agitated It was case of the so-called weaker vessel becoming the stronger The doctor was especially nervous when the door was unlocked to admit him for the first time to prison life Before placing him In jail, Sheriff Pratt took Dr. Hearne to one side and searched him, but found no arms upon him. Dr. Hearne and wife took their bed clothing along with them from Hanni- bal, and Mrs. Todd, in jail for the mur- der of her daughter, arranged a cot in her cell for Mrs Hearne
 Soon after entering the cell, which is on the second floor. Mrs. Hearne re- tired for the night If she ever should break down in this matter her first night in prison under the serious crime with which she stands charged is no index to it.
 Dr. Hearne's cot for the night was placed in the corridor downstairs, with Doug Roland, in for robbery, and Peter Zimmerman, for adultery. This morn- ing they arose early, and apparently had enjoyed good nights rest They ordered their break fast from the PhOe- nix hotel and ate heartily in their sep arate cells They will not be permitted to converse.

Between Police Of Toledo, O., and Gang
 of Tramps who Refused to Disperse.
 TOLEDO, O, Aug. 1s.-Peliee and tramps had desperate and bloody en- counter in the Stock Yards district of East Toledo yesterday morning. Shortly after o'clock Patrolman Steve Shafer came upon gang of tramps lounging upon the 0ak-street bridge He ordered them to disperse. Without warning, James Smith, one of the tramps, arose and drew his re- volver. With a terrible oath he fired at the officer. There was flash and report and Patrolmar Shafer was seen to stagger in his tracks.
 Although terribly wounded, the of- fcer did not lose his presence of mind. He drew his own gun and commenced to blaze away at the trio who were on the run. The officer, who had been shot in the left breast, was taken to a house near by, and his wound was pro- nounced fatal by physici an.
 The alarm was sounded, and soon two wagon loads of policemen arrived and were joined by farmers with pitch forks and shotguns in the chase after the fleeing tramps. The officers were close on the heels of the tramps, and as Patrolman Smith leveled a shotgun and fired, he himself was shot in the right wrist by one of the tramps. The tramp who did the shooting had his legs filed with shot, but he kept on running, leaving trail of blood be- hind him.
 Patrolman Parks was after them in an instant with revolver in each hand. He covered the slower of the trio with his gun and ordered him to surrender. The fellow hesitated a moment and then threw his gun down, held up his hands and was bundled into the wagon.
 Meanwhile the other two including the one with the shot-riddled legs, were making across the country. The two tramps reached a barn where they found a hired man named Robert Brown, to whom they offered five dot. lars to allow them to hide III the barn and not tell anyone they were there and the two men climbed into the ha loft and burrowed their way out 2. sight. A gardener saw the operation and gave the officers pointer and the barn was surrounded
 When the men saw they were cor nered they threw down their WeaH with curse and surrendered er crowds followed the return
 wagon with the prisoners to the
 station.
