WAS VKUJ.LKU Tim MAX AuS&V&l.'f A Internen tOr s-TMpVMt OflJ, , Tho St. Iouis GIobo-Democrat's Sen Francisco special contains an intervW 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 Uuwl betiwo tlw steamer reached thoro."

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 Commissioner W O. Walsh, Control'er W. S. Swain, and Attorney General John D. Tompleton.

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 good.

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.
