Tho St. Iouis GIobo-Democrat's Sen

twith M-irell, th alleged murderer ot
JrVidle, found in the trunk at tho Southwn
nottl thtr last snrlnff. This interview Is
vouched for as correct, and was obtained
by an ex-govern-oent dotectivo on the eve
oi Maawell's duparture for thatcity. Huv
lag bn ruskrd, after a long talk, to speak
freely of his future course of dcJurwe, Mnx
well said:
"All I can plvo you in an outline, and
that is moro than any ono clso hns got out
of mo. They brought in hero Gen. Clunio,
a lawyer of this city, who offered to Pnt
out habeas corpus papers for me to-morrow,
and who wns eager to go on to St.
Louis ns my counsel. Ho may bo square, but
it wouldn't do for mo to trust a stranger
with my secrets. No, I prefer to wait
till I get to St. Louis beforo engaging coun
sel. Hero is tho gist of tho St. Louis mys
tery, which has puzzled tho country for
four months. I'rcllcr and I were old friends.
Wo came to Iloston together on tho stenmpr
Ccplmlonia. Wo wcro constnut compan
ions, and mndo arrangements to meet at
St. Louis at tho Southern hotel, and thoro
to carry out a schomo which I'rcllor had
devised for getting insiiniiico on his life.
Wo met according to ngrcenicnt. Wo were
in room 1 1 1 in tlio hotel for about all the
time wo spent there, but, mind you, Preller
was at tho hotel only threo dnvs. IIo .
mnined in seclusion for tho remuindor of
tho mystery at tho Southern hotel, and ho
left St. L ouis alivo and well on tho sumo
day that I started west. That wasn't
I'rcllcr's body found in tho trunk at tho
Hotel. WJion tlio caso comes up for trial I
shall show proof ot where tlio body tound
In tho trunk was procured, who it was
bought of, at what hour it was brought to
tho hotel, and all tho details of tho plot. I
can tell you now that body was brought to
tho hotel in broad diiylightand was carried
up to room 111. Everything wns ar
ranged to givo color to tlio theory of sud
den murder and hasty flight. Nothing was
omitted which I thought would add to this
misconception. My design was to get clear
out of tho country beforo tho body
wns discovered, nnd onco in Australia
I thought it would bo easy to bury my
Identity in tho East Indies until things
had been forgotten. I will show you how
entiroly I trusted Preller and how com
pletely I was his assistant in this flchomo.
when I tell you that to day I don't know
how largo an insurance ho enrried on ids
life. I know it was for a big sum and gavo
my help in tho enterprise solely because he
wns an old friend and associate. Where ho
is, or what arrangements I havo for com
municating with him, of course 'tis out of
tho question for mo to tell, but you can rest
assured of tho accuracy of theso facts I
have given you, and that thoy will nil bo
proved on the trial." Having been asked
why ho chnnged his name, Maxwell gavo
tho following explanation, which is clover
to say tho least: "You can't blanio mo for
lying to theso people. Hero is a crowd of
reporters, somo of whom try to wheedle
nnd others to bully my secrets from mo.
Then como detectives, and say this thing
and that has boon discovered; wo havo nil
this circumstantial ovidmico against you;
what can you say to it? Knowing every
fact in tho enno ns I do, I know that they
are lying or aro on nn entirely wrong scent,
so I simply puzzle them more or stuff them
with new inventions. They havo all got
ono theory, and they aro trying to lit facts
to that theory, instead of making a theory
from tho facts. They have been in hero to
night with certain articles, and havo said,
'You did this at such a place,' when I know
very well thatno such occurrence over hap
pened. They havo traced mo very well m
my first visit to tills city, becauso I mndo
no effort to cover my tracks. I used tlio
wune hiuiio and tho snmo disguiso ns a
French olllcer all through, from tho time I
left St. Louis to tho time I boarded tho
Auckland steamer and throughout tho voy
age. It camo into my mind on tho train
becauso tho people asked mo questions, and
it was amusement to myRtify thorn anil
Ml them stories. Tills was tho origin of
tho FreHch caiitnln and all his exploits. It
was Blmply a blind to preserve my Identity
vmwwpccted and to allow mo to reach tho
polonies, whieh, I thought, could bo easily
dfo before any Howsof tho St. Louis affair
could roach them, I didn't know that
caVdo -owwunication was to perfect or that
tho ows coukl iKisxibly bo no nt to Auck

Galveston dbputeh: A morning paper
sanh uisatlonul charges against tho
Btatoland board. It alleges that, through
eglect or mUmunageiueitt, about $ii,000,
000 h4 been lovt to the school fund ot tho
state. Thin money should havo been col
lected Irom tho cattle barons during tho
mouth. Tho paper mentioned states that,
in February, lSSSl.un tut was passed di
tvc'iiig tho land hoard to appoint grass
commissioners, whoso duties should bo to
ascertain by constant inwpoetlonlUio area
ot five grass belonging to tho stato and bo
iiig occupied by cattlemen without leases of
iniy character. Fnder this law all oc
cujiieis ot such lands woro com
pelled to pay an orcuptton tax.
Twenty million acre ot free-grass lands
of this character havo been constantly
grazed upon since tho passage of tho law.
Yet tho laSd board only last week ap
pointed and seat out the grass conunis
sioners upon wIuju' reports only tho tax
could bo collect 'lf The law makes no pro
vision for back tuNes, henco tho stato has
lost nearlv $2,000,000, which has simply
romnhied 'in tlio pocketsol thobulllonaires.
Ip stating theso tacts tho paper referred to
in ono breath acquits tho members ot tho
land board ot intentional wrong, but in the
next breath it says: "The loss ot $l,7o0,.
000 was not accidental, and not being ac
cidental it is presumably tho result ot intel
ligent design. This language is interpreted
as a direct charge ot corruptionagalnsttho
land board, ami crvutes a sensation. The
board Is composed ot Gov. John Ireland,
Stato Treasurer F. 11. 11- Lubborek, Land

Tho "flnltimoro Manufacturers' Kccord
publishes nearly five pages of special re
ports, covering tho whole south from Vir
ginia to Texas, showing that the prospects
tor crops and outlook in business for that
8(rJion nrc rcmark.Vly good. Not only is
the acreage of cotton, corn nnd tobacco
crops tho largest on record, but tho reports
nrc almost unanimous in statifir, that tlio
yield of these crops, as wt8 ns the smaller
crops, cxcepting3vhent, will greatly excogri
the best crop ever beforo produced.
It will also show that the crojhavc
been raised at lower cost than in any pre
ceding year nnd the liens on the crops foe
money nil vn need to farmers ejeromucli lorn
than heretofore.
Official reports ffom South Carolina
show thnt while tho state will produea
about -1,000,000 bushels more of corn and
prohahlv over SOO.OOO bales of cotton
more than last year, the aggregate amount
of agricultural lr ns given to obtain ad
v nees upon tho growing crops is 511, 000,
000 less thnn in 1HS1J, notwithstanding
tho fact that tlio intervening years of 1SS3
and LSH l wero unfavorable croji years.
In Georgia tho agricultural department
estimates tlio corn crop at -10,000,000
bushels, against X 1,000,000 last year, and
21,100.000 bushels in l:i.
Kegarding corn, reports from the whole
Ktuth aro of the most flattering character,
some of them stating that the yield will be
the best for years, others tho best known
for twenty years, nnd many tho best ever
known. It is thought by the United States
commissioner of agriculture that the in
creased acreage in corn over last year and
splendid yield which is now assured will
give tho south not less than 50,000,000
bushels of corn moro than last year.
Tho cotton crop, it is believed, is safe,
for much the largest yield over made, and
for at least 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 bales
more than last year.
In tobacco, fruits nnd vegetables, the
crops are tho largest ever mado in tho
south, while rico promises a splendid yield,
and siiiwir a tar more satisfactory ami
irolitablo crop than in las 1. humiliated
iy unprecedented crops, business is al
ready showing a decided improvement and
prospects throughout tho south for fall
and winter trndo aro reported as usually

In tlio organization oi railroad and man

raiso $1,000,000. Chicago hns worked
hard to raise its little fund, while very lit
JIo work has boon douo hero yet. It was
nnpossiblo to mako any headway while
preparations woro in progress for tho funer

probably half of tho executive committeo
tiro absent, nnd it is not likely that plans
will bo adopted for raising tho necessary

Is satisfied with tho outlook."

When Gen. Grant visited Chicago niter
his return tripnround the world lie planted
a big elm tree in Washington park. On
that occasion ho used a bilvcr shovel, which
is kept as a remembrance of the day. Tho
tree is in a nourishing condition. It was
heavily draped with black after the old
soldier's death. A delegation of citizens,
snys a Chicago dispatch, is about to go
before tlio South park board and ask that
Gen. Grnnt's namo lie given to the park.
These citizens think tho people would not
object to tho change, especially as tnero is
another Washington park in the city. If
tho South park board consents to this pro
position it is thought tho Lincoln park
commissioners can boinduccd to agree that
tho Grant monument shall bo erected in the
park, the friends of which shall contribute
the most money to tho monument fund.
Tlio Good Dog Jnck,
Ono warm spring morning wo heard
a great shout, anil on going to seo what
it all meant wo saw n large, dark ob
ject just swooping out of tho river in
to tho lake, and realized, beforo anyone
could toll us, that tho ico had carried
away our bridgo, and that all communi
cation between us and tho town was,
for tho present, cut oil. How now woro
wo to get our mail, fresh meat, and
dozens of other things which wo woro
dependent upon tho village for? Wobe-
wailou our isolated condition for a day
or two, when n ferry was established,
which was hauled from ono side to au
othor by ropes. This was very tedious
for foot passengers, and, as the ferry
was largo and clumsy, tho man that
tonded it found it very hard to pull
across nnd back for only one person.
bo somo largo planks wore fastoned to-
gother, forming a float, that reached
clear ncross, and although it was very
narrow walking aud tho river very deop
nt this point, wo soon grew accustomed
to it, and ran backward and forward
without fear.

secretary of the Kentucky state board of
health, who has returned with the commls-.
blon appolut?d to Inspect tho herds of cattlo
alllicted wite contagious plouro-pneumonla
aid:
"The disease Is confined entirely to a smal1
district In Harrison county, where it has ox
isted for more than a year; but It so tevero
and has trained such a foothold that, unless
the ellorts now being made to couttol it aro
su cessful, the eutiro cattle Interest of th
stato will be In serious danger. In con
seyuence of its existence ovtn to a
limited extent most of the western,
states and territories havo quarantined
aira'nst all Kentucky cattle, ai u as
theso states constitute the principal 0
markets for our high-bred stock that brsuch
of trade Is nearly at it standstill."
"What Is the charartorof the disease ana
where did como froml"
"It is a highly-contagious luns-fever limited
strictly to tho bovine genus. It has hut ono
cause contagion from cattlo sick with tho
disease, or pastures, stables, cars 0- other
places or ttilni infected by such Mck cattlo.
It was brought to this country llrst In 1S-I8,
and fresh Importations havo taketi place from
time to time, but as the current ot trade in
cattlo has always been toward New York and
the east, it never appeared west of the Alle
clianles until about two years ai;o, when a
herd In Troy, p)., was Infected by a cow
brought Irom Baltimore. Cattle Irom this
herdVoro out In a lijge sale at Virginia City,
111,, In April, 1S54, aud from this place tho
disease w:s carried to various parts of Illi
nois, and to Callaway comity, Missouri.
An attempt Is now betug made by leading
cattlemen of the blue grass country to raise
enough money to pay for all tho luiected cat
tle uud have lis stamp out tho disease atonce.
and It Is to be earnestly hoped that they will
succeedO If they do not wo will do our best
to prevent any fuither spread of the disease
until the legUKture meets, and will put tho
responsibility of stamping it out upon that,
body."
