Mrs. MAVERICK Found Guilty

LIVERPOOL, Aug. THE jury in The case
of Mrs. May brick, who has been on trial for
the murder of her husband, brought
in q verdict OF guilty to-day. Mrs.
Maybrick was thereupon sentenced to
death. Judge Stephen in his charge to the
jury said there was strong and distressful
evidence to show that the prisoner had o
motive for Kidding herself OF her husband.
This could be- found in her in6delity, which
had rendered it necessary for her to enter
into inextricsble mezas Of lying. He also
called particular attention to the
phrase "he is sick unto death" con
tanned in her letter to Briefly. This
was terribly important in view of the fact
that on the day the letter IVES written the
doctors fully expected that Mr.. Maybrick
would recover. It showed there was reason
for believing that the prisoner was desirious
of being rid of her husband in order that
she might i've with her paramour. The
Judge put the question to the jury, whether
it was reasonable to believe that loving
wife would yield to her husbands sugges-
ton to put an unknown powder in his food.

The War in EpYnt

Documents found in Wad.el Jumi's camp
and on the bodies of the sheikhs who fell in
the recent battle prove the existence of
widespread treason among high officials
and leaders of native society 10 Egypt. The
invasion by Wadel-Jumi. with his handful Of
dervBhts is shown by these documents to have
been merely an incident of this conspiracy, which
WAS to have been followed By whole sale treason
on the part Of the Egyptian army. These dis
closures serve to explain what has up to this time
puzzled everybody at Cairo, how the leader of the
dervi,hes expected to accomplish anything with
the insignificant force he brought across the
desert. 1t is now clear that he expected to be
joined at the Nile by deserters from the Egyptian
army is ,if, headed by the traitors with whom he
had been in correspondence and by some of the

The Black Diamond.

The 81 James Gazette of London very EN-.
phatically condemns the seizure of the
Black Diamond. and believes that the Eng
ish speaking people on both sides of the
Atlantic are tired of the lodges of political
tricksters resorted to to further their own
selfish purposes such as the dismissal of tho Brit
ish minister at Washington and the present gra-
tuitous outrage The Gazette trusts thst Sir Ju-
lian Pauncefote's presence at the time in London
will hasten settlement of the vexed questions
involved in the Black Diamond g seizure.
dispatch from Montreal says: Although the
rejoicing here over the escape of the schooner
Blsck Diamond from the clutches of Uncle Sam
remains undated, the general opinion begins to
prevail that the difficulty will, after ALL end in
smoke, and that the party at present in power at
Washington ars simply playing fast and loose
with the electorate of the United States, and the
free and independent electors of the Union are
being sadly quilted by those whom they chose to
represent them year ago"
