GOOD EUT INExPEpIENT.
Mrs. MAVERICK, accused of til

Mrs. Maybrick, accused of tn,
murder of her husband, is alread,
OF trial in Liverpool, though tn,
Grand Jury indicted her but a da,
or two ago. Her trial will be briet
and should she be convicted she
will be hanged in two or three
weeks.
This is one Of the few instances
in which the English manage af-
fairs better that the Americans.
A person is arrested in England
for, say, murder. In a month or
two, at most, his case is presented
to grand jury, which sits stimuli
taneously with the court of assizs.
The grand jury hears only the tes-
tlmony for the prosecution, and, if
prima facie case be made out, at
once sends true bill into court and
the trial begins as soon as that OH
any preceding bill shall have come
to conclusion. The trial is brief
and to the point, and when the jury
brings in a verdict of guilty, the
Judge puts on q black cap and
there and then sentences the pris-
oner to be hanged, giving him
usually about TIVE weeks for prepare
ton. Between the condemned and
the gallows there intervenes only
the clemency OF the Queen, or
rather the Judgment of the Secre-
tary for Home Affairs, who inter-
fares only extraordinary cases.
From the time of condemnation the
prisoner is virtually dead, HIS ex-
ecution takes place in a Jail yard,
early some morning, in the presence
OF few officials and reporters only
and with no ceremony or sensation,
and his body is buried in quick
time by the authorities, also with
out ceremony, and that is the end
of him.
1t is throughout a very speedy,
businessliks and dispassionate dis
posal of person who has been
guilty OF crime for the commission
of which society has decreed extir-
patton; and the chief actor in the
case has about as much chance to
pose as a hero or make sensation
as has a sheep IN a Butchertown
slaughter pen.
We consider the system better
than our own; although we do not
say that it ought to be substituted
for ours, because under ours, the
lawyers can make more money,
and our system of laws is arranged
so as to enable LAWYERS to
make menev.-S. F. Report.

ING APPEAL predicted another
earthquake shock, baseing its pre-
dictions on the sis disturbances

the people of San Francisco to look

was correct.

A veteran locomotive engineer
named VIM. Bradley, while running
between Fruitvale and San LeanGro
last Friday, ran into what appeared
to be small cloud, sweeping close
to the ground, but what was in
realty a SWARM of bees. The cab
was filled with bees for few min
uts, but neither he nor his fireman
were stung.

JTSIClALEY DEAD.

Benjamin F. Chapman is in q
bad fix. Seven years ago he mar
ried in this city. A short time
thereafter he went to Tahiti on
business. His sojourn was pro-
longed until few days ago. He
became so Mapped upIn his business
or IN some Tahiti maiden, that his
lovely San Jose bride was quite
forgotten. For three or four years
she didn't hear from him, and then
his death in Tahiti was reported in
the papers. Then she gave her
heart and hand to another, and is
now Mrs. Chase and resident of
New York. Now Chapman also
wants to get married second time
but the records OF this county show
that he is dead-judicially dead,
at least. He is husband in the
eyes OF the law, teo, yet his wife is
legally welded to another. He is
in a bad fix, and there doesn't
seem to be anything for him to do
bat to accept the fiction that he is
dead, assume another name and adj
minister on his own estats. This
may not be the strictly legal way
out of the dilemma, but il seems
to be the easiest and common sense
one. On the whole, here is all the
material needful for a pretty novel.
IL wouldn't take much OF an ina
g;nation to fill in the skeleton

The following pictures Jarbeau as seen by
one of her own sex. the writer being "NelP' in
the New York Herald: "There is nothing COM
monplace about Iarbeau. She is herself, and
that self is the embodiment of grace and deli-
cate abandon. 1t is like smack of spice in a
dainty Wand or an aroma exhaled from a hid
den sachet. An indescribable something about
her performance that you believe is almost tan,
gible, yet cannot define. The air is freighted
with it, but you cannot tell where it comes
from. 1t is perversve and irresistible, but it is
delicate, and while the result is felt the means
are not recognized. This is Jarbeau's way, and
when she sings a chanson, every man and woman
in the audience has heart palptation, and
doesn't know why, either. In appearance, Miss
Jarbeau is brunette of rather Frenchy type,
with pair of black eyes that sparkle like dia>
monds. She has rather slender but shapely
figure which she invariably drapes in black
when dressed for the street, and is just the
dearest little Lody TO talk TO one could meet"

"Back Rod Delegates.

Our friend OF the Rockingham Registe,
grows facetious over the attendance of
several gentlemen from Augusta county,
at the re cent meeting at Greenmount, in
Rockingham county, of the committee tC
select site for the annual convention OF
the German Baptists, or Tunkers, of the
United States. A complaint is made that
they Travelled the "back road" leaving
Harrisonburg out of their line, to leach
their destination. We presume they pre-
ferred the inspiring associations and scene
ry of field and farm to the leepy town land
their choice was amply indicated by theil
return trip, when they passed through the
village in the early evening, when our Co
temporary was taking his siesta, and the
deserted streets indicated that all busi
ness had been practically suspended te
allow the enjoyment of nap.
The complaint will be of another char
acter when the thousands who will attend
the conference, realize that they will
have to depend upon a turgid stream,
which seeps through tan bark and winds
its way through pasture lots, for water
when the tallow-dip and the Hard wick
lamp will take the place of electric lights
such as were offered by Stauntt n. with
fountains of spring water piped to the
ground and to almost every door.
We do not intend to criticize the com
mittee. They doubtless had reasons fol
the selection of the place for holding the
meeting. But we doubt very much whether
they will have One-tenth of the advan-
tages. comforts and even Injuries that
would have been afforded them at Staun-
ton.
1.-The back road delegates are gentle
men who were delegated to represent the
city of Staunton, the county of Augusta
and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
They were on legitimate mission, dis
charged the duty appointed to them. and
selected their own route and paid their
own way in doing SO.
We are very sure. if the thousands who
are expected to visit the Valley from a
distance on that occasion. shall go away
pleased with the manner and the condi-
lions of their entertainment, the black
road delegates" nor the people OF Augusta
will have nothing to regret in the part they
have taken and the courtesy they have
extended to the 'stranger without their
gates" Notwithstanding the festive anc
hilarious temper of the rustic who fresh
from, the bovine pastures of his native
hills, draws upon his imagination to con-
vert dreary streets. sign boards and barber
poles into thriving town.

While this al arrangement will take from

create the necessity for local development

that this is the case. In the first place the
policy of the .prest Mt management OF the T..
