In Chicago, when some time ago Commis
sioner Mack asked Miss Sweet to resign, that
aplrited lady refused to do so, taking the
ground that her record as a public officer was
satisfactory, and that she was protected in
office by the tenure of office act until her four
years' commission expired. The commission-
erwssa little dashed by the plucky office
holder and hesitated to remove her. Now,
however, she will probably go. General
Black intends to appoint to the vaoancy
another lady, Mrs. Mulligan, the
widow of a gallant union officer,
This sppointment is likely to meet with some
opposition, as General Morrison has a candi
date for the place in General McClernand. In
the recent fight for the collectorabip of inter
nal revenue in the Springfield distrlctGeneral
McClernand was urged upon President Cleve
land by Colonel Morrison, Secretary Manning,

that as the office was the beet in Represents*

A DISTRESS (NO ACCIDENT.
PiTisrixi.il, Mass., August 18.—The details
of the accident on tho Housetonic River rail
road bridge, below this town, lest evening,
are peculiarly distressing. Jamas Carney,
Maty end Bridget Granger, end John
Norton were returning homo from
a fireman’s picnic, and had just

across to the engine bouse beyond. Theeogi-

HIS NAME IS BROOKS.
The St. Isoalt Trank Murderer fflekes u Par
tial Admission,
8t. Louis, August IS.—A letter It published
here today dated Sunny B«nk,Uytie,Cheshire,
England, July 2.1,2861, and signed Stm'l N,
Brooke; in which the writer eaye hie eon, U.
M. Brooke, lelt home laet January on a busi*
ceil trip to Ireland, end that no word hae
been received from him einca. It had bean
learned, however, that ho had the curate
of an adjoining pariah lor a
companion, and that they had
indulged in various extravagances, and that
Brooks a name had got mixed up with the 8L
Louis trunk tragedy, and also got mixed with
that of Dr. Maxwell. The letter shows great
distress on the part of the writer, who makes
an urgent appeal for information m
regard to the person concerned
in the . murder. Part of this letter
was shown to Maxwell, and he recognized the
signature as tbst of his father and demanded
possession of tbe letter. He said he would
write to his father and tell him that he (Max
well) wa» innocent of the murder ot Prellor,
aud that be had a perfectly good defense. In
the course of conversation Maxwell, or
ss he is now pretty definitely
identified, “Brook*, said that
Prcller was troubled with insomnia, and that
he had prescribed chloroform for him on sev
eral cccesious, and with benefit. Prellor,
however, bad heart disease, he said, and inti*
mated that he bad either taken or was given
an overdose on this occasion with fatal result.
This will be Brooks's defense when his case
comes to trial.
ytAXWKLLTAKU IT ML BACK.
Maxwell published a card this afternoon,
denying that he baa given any reporter any
outline or idea of his defense as published
here this morning, and referred to it in a pre
vious dispatch. Ho furthermore denies having
acknowledged that his name is Brooks, and
says that no matter what is published, he will
not talk what hit case is or give any one any
idea of what his defense will be. The letter
previously referred to, signed Samuel N.
Brooks, is genuine, however. It was received
here by John D. Vincel, a high officer.
Sr. Louts, August 21.—W. II. L. Maxwell,
the alleged murderer of C. A.Preller,appeared
before Acting Judge Fountleroy in the court
of criminal correction today. He was not
asked to plead, as Judge Fountleroy, who is
temporarily filling Jndge Noonan's place la
this court is one of Maxwell's counsel. The
case was set for a preliminary hearing on Sep
tember 2d.
Loudon, August 20.—The national school
master, at Hyde, near Birmingham, who has
bees reported es the father ot Maxwell, tbe
alleged murderer of Preller, being interviewed
on the subject today, said he had a son named
Hugh Mattrain Brooks, who was a solicitor.
Ho resided in the United fUatoi. lie had
formerly been articled to a firm in Stockport.
Hugh Brooks is doubtless identical with
Maxwell, the alleged murderer "ol Pro!lor, in
St. Louis. He was formerly clork in tho
office of Brown A Ainsworth, at Stockport.
He passed nn examination and commenced
tbe practice of law at Hyde. Ho mot with
little success. In January lost he announced
that he had an important law suit in Dublin,
which required a preliminary visit
to London and left Hyde, taking with him the
tricycle and photograph apparatus belonging
to Dr. Sidobothom, of Hyde, having evidently
sold his own effects to pay creditors. Shortly,
after Brooks's departure the curate of Hyde,
vr^Li\imst «cfrimdo
alio left down, and the two men were aeon
together in Tarts, where they were giving
photographic shows. A description givon ol
Maxwell's ctYcminato manners and mincing
walk exactly tallies with Hugh's style. It is
noteworthy that Maxwell sold a tricycle in
Boston, and”ihat tho number of the watch he
sold to a joweler ol St. Louis
agrees with tho number recordod in the
books of the Hyde watchmaker, as that of the
watch which ho had sold to Hugh Brooks.
The portrait oi Maxwell, published in tho
Washington paper,exactly resembles Brooks.
Hush was about five feet six inches high, and
bad a dark mustache and sauare chin with a
supercilious air and a drawling voice. It is
certain that Hugh and Preller became ac
quainted in England and sailed for America
together, and it is equally certain that Hugh
was short of funds.
The fact that Hugh dabbled in chemical
experiments makes the chloroform story plau-
•Jbio. Letter* reached Hydo which were
date at 8t. Louis a couple ot days prior to
writing one containing an Easter card, ad
dressed to Hugh’s formor swostheart. The
esae has aroussd much excitement at Hyde.
London, August ID.—lb is stated that Max
well, who is alleged to have murdered Preller,
in St. Louis, is the son of a national school
master at IIyde, near Manchoster.

missing. Marks in the road showed that he
bad not been abla to walk, but that he had
dragged himself of! into tho woods. Dempsey
was about to dismount and follow him when a
pistol was fired from tho woods and a bullet
whistled by Dempaey'i ear. The farmer had
no pistol, and he whipped up hit horse and
rede away, followed by another pistol ball,
which pcased through hi* hat.
Dempsey came to this Diace, and getting
Officer Compton went back in search of the
thief, who it was plain waa a desperate char
acter. They entered the woods cautiously at
thospet where Dempsy had been shot at.
Two or three rods from the road, under a
laurel huih, they found the man lying dead.
He bad shot himself through the heart.
The officer recognized in the person
cf the dead horse thief a young 'man
named William Barry, the wayward ton of
George Barry, a rich farmer living in tha
neighborhood. He had recently returned from
two years’ absence, having been traveling a*
. teamster with Barnum's and other circuses.
His right leg and arm bad been broken by the
fall from the horse, and it is supposed that,

in regard lo tho progress of the race since the

did what a great work baa alraady bean so-

never without profit and pleasure to hia ainll-

of Governor McHanieFt office, tbs life of Gov

S ets $4,000 a year nnd an elagnnt residence,

tho governor ol Mama works for a (alary that

There it one feature of the Main, policy

Governor McDaniel’s burdens ia tbs hearing

than returned to the house lor more. I learned
that thes. costa are made here In largo quan
tities for wholrsalo houses tn Portland and
Boston, who sell them to southern clothing
dealers. Now, there ora a dozen shop* in and
around Gorham, where all kinds of clothing
are made for tho southern market. And yet
there Is no reason, It sooma to mo, why this
work cannot be done In and arouod
Atlanta. Hundreds of women and girls
are making a comfortablo living here in theta
clothing shops, or by Inking work to their
own hornet. Why may not tho women and
girls of Atlanta and vicinity hero tho benefit
of tuoh an Industry. Certainly the raw mater
ial ought to be as cheap in Atlanta os In Port
land, and the price of labor ought to bo ohstp-
or. But tbe north,with her grasping activity,
appears to have x sort of monopoly ol this
business, Ilka many other enterpriaea, and tho

tbrilty hero, when thoy can with comparative
ease raise hay crops lor tbe south, and their
wives and daughters employ their (pare time
in making clothing for our people. I am
aware that In Columbus, Ga., they ntvo had a
clothing factory, on n small scale, that haa
given employment to many worthy womon,
