MRS. MAYBRIoK's CASE.
Charged With Following Her Poison
ing Mothers Example.

lCopHrt0ht 1889 bn James Gordon Bcnnett1
LONDON, June S.--TNew York Herald
Cable-Specal to The BEE. There is now
IN the county gaol OF Liverpool, Mrs. Flor
enco Maybrick, aged 26, the widow of
wealthy Liverpool cotton broker, who was
nearly twice her age. The whole affair in
cludes poison, romance and mystery.
The husband Is said TO have been an ar
senic eater. Her friends say he died from
him with arsenic.
They met about seven years ago on q
steamer from America. She fell down the
saloon stairs and he caught her. The ac-
quaintance thus begun, ripened into love,
and they were married in q few weeks. He
died two months ago and the doctors who
attended would not give q certificate. AT
the inquest winch was held an open verdict
was returned and the body was buried. The
current rumors induced the police
to reopen the case. Another inquest was
held, ut which the evidence showed that
Mrs. Maybrick had purchased arsenic at a
chemists; that the medicine, a part OF
which she had given her husband, contained
arsenic; that arsenic fly-paper was found in
her room soaking in water; that letter to
her lover, named Briefly, in very endearing
terms, was intercepted, telling him all was
safe, and that he need not leave the country.
She attended her husband up to his death,
though the last two days of his illness he
was in charge of hired nurses, and that she
had told the doctor that she dislked her
husband, with whom she often quarreled.
She was finally committed for trial at the
assizes on charge of willful murder, on the
theory that If she did not poison HIM, her
homicidal tendency may be hereditary.
Her mother was Miss HolbrooK of New
York city, who went to Mobile, Ala. before
the war on visit to her uncle, Rev. J. In
graham, author of the book, "a Prince of
the House of David" She married there
William q. Chandler, a wealthy merchant.
They lived happily together until Frank
Dubassy, a captain on the confederate side,
| turned up Chandler fell ill; no one at
tended him but herself, and it is said she
| killed him.
She moved to Macon, Ca, and married
| Dubassy. He was sent to Europe as a rep
| resentative of the confederate government.
| Two days after sailing he died. and ut her
| request the body was thrown overheard. In
| two years she returned to New York and
| made great scandal with an actor, returned
| to Europe, and married Baron Won Rogue,
and led an adventurous life After having
| separated from Won Rogue, she lived as the
wife of an attache of the British legation at
| Teheran, Persia.
| Mrs. Maybrick is the daughter of Chand-
Ter, and has fortune in her own right. Her
mother had a mania for collecting poisons
and gathered specimens from all parts of the
world. She had an intimate knowledge of
the nature and effect of each of the deadly
agents. Mrs. Maybrick Is well known In
New Orleans and her brother is the popular
song writer, Stephen Adams.

trance. He ordered him to stop and the
man drew revolver. The officer took
it away and led him toward the county Jail.
The man struck the policeman in the face
and ran. The officer fired three shots at him
and brought him to standstill. Among the

II am not prepared to make any positive

possession of his sister here in Paris at the
time of his death / believe that it contains
something about my taking charge of the
Review, but the will Is not yet probated,
and there may be codiclls, of which we are
not yet advised. Rice frequently said
to me that of all his other friends
he would like me to take
charge of the Review IN the case anything
should happen to him. Should 1 assume the

Gave Up the Name.

CHICAGO, Juno S.-John Moss, a member
of camp No. 81 of the Clan ma Gael, was put
upon the witness stand in the coroner's in
vestigation into the manner Of DIR. Cronin's
death this morning. AT meeting sub
sequent to the murder a resolution was
presented in this camp denouncing the deed.
Moss moved that it be tabled, remarking
that "perhaps DR.. Cronin's removal was
ordered by the executive committee" When
called to the witness stand this morning
and asked to give the name of the presiding
officer of the camp, he refused to do so, and
bv order Of the coroner was ordered into
custody. Pending the arrival of sheriff g
deputy the witness gave evidence of great
mental DISTRESS and, finally signifed his
willingness to testify. IIe then said the
name of the presiding officer of his camp was
William H. Joyce. q
"When you made your motion on the Cro-
min resolution, did you believe that the exec
utive had the power to order the removal of
anyoneln qLeried the corner.
81 had not the faintest idea of the powers
of the executive."
IF you had been ordered to remove any
one, would you have done ita'
mo, SIR" answered the witness after q
Peter Mcclellan was the next witness.
He testified that he came to Chicago last
February, from Philadelphia; that he did
not say before leaving that he was going on
dangerous business for the executive. He
came because he had had a row with ayoung
fellow about girl. DR.. Cronin came up to
the witness on the street and accused HIM of
being in the city to murder him (Cronin.) }
Subsequently Cronin wrote to the witness a
note telling him to get out of the state or he
would have him arrested. Witness declared
he was lin Pullman on the night Cronin
was murdered.
Near the close of his testimony Mcclellan
admitted that in his camp at Philadelphia
he was known as No 1, and John O'Neill as
No. Q.
Mcclellan was taken to the chiefs private
Office, where the Carsons, Dinan and Mrs.
Conklin were allowed to take look at HIM.
None of them, however, identified him and
he was allowed to go.
At the conclusion Of the testimony the
coroner announced the inquest would stand
adjourned until Monday morning, and Nc.

For Opinions Sake.

The presidents home organ, until
recently edited by his private secre
tary, and owned by his personal
friends-in other words the Indiana
polls Journal, demands that par
rents shall boycott Harvard Uniyer-
sity by refusing to permit their sons
to enter it, and all because President
ELIOT has had the courage to public
ly declare that he does not believe in
the principle of protection, and has
publicly identified himself with the
Democratic party. The Philadel-
phia Telegraph, a Republican and
protectionist journal, thinks this
demand smacks a great deal of the
old intolerance of burning people at
the stake, because of their opinions.
1t urges:
To boycott man for his opinions
in this century is simply equal to
burning him for his opinions sake a
while earlier. In the present in
stance, sake a while earlier. In the
present instance, bigotry goes a
little further than this, as it propo-
ses to boycott great university,
which is yearly making men of the
greatest distinction in every depart
ment of the worlds best workshop,
and which has been doing it since
it's ancient foundation; it is to be
boycotted not because it is opposed
to the protective principle, but be-
cause its presideut-not as its presi-
dent, however, but as private citizen
declares his unbelief in the protec-
tive policy. If this is to be made
the rule ofconduct, if our institutions
of learning are to be boycotted I'M
less every one connected with them
in any capacity subscribes to all
popular beliefs, the sooner they put
up their shutters and close their
doors the better for the country.
In this demand of his home organ,
there is something of the intolerance
and bitterness that is characteris-
tic of the rather dwarfed mental
makeup of Benjamin Harrison.
1t is clearly an inspiration from the
White House.
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1889-11-16

Ex-Congressman Baker has big
load of anger aboard, and he is lam
pooning President Harrison with all
the concentrated disgust of man
who wants an office and wants it bad
and can't get one. Mr.. Baker is the
original Harrison man, or at lea st
he says he is, and claims that way
back in the early sixties he nominal
ed Mr.. Harrison for the first Office
he ever held, and has been his chron-
ic nominater and advocate ever
since. Finally when Benjamin
reached the coveted place Of Presi-
dent Mr.. Baker appears with his
application for position. He
didn't get any. He got left. Now
Benjamin is bad, bad man and
Mr.. Baker gives public expression
to his overloaded disgust in the fol
lowing manner through the news
papers:
II told President Harrison frankly
that the people of the West, and
particularly the people of Indiana,
are opposed to the Chinese civil ser
vice law; that they demanded the
fruits of their hard earned victory,
and they will bury deep and forever
the man who was so false to his
past, his friends and his party as to
accept the Presidency as the result
Of Republican support and then sell
out to the Mugwumps. If we can
not have the Republicanism of the
immortal Lincoln, then we of the
West would much prefer the heroic
Democracy of Jackson"
Mr.. Baker says that it is the hon
est opinion of a large majority of the
Republicans of Indiana that the
man closest to the President is At
torney-General Miller, man who
knows less of law than of politics,
and precious little of either. The
Mugwumps and the Indianapolis
gang, he says, have more influence
over Harrison's acts than the com
bined Republicanism of the country
and gives it as his opinion, which he
thinks is heartily concurred in by
the rank and file of the party through
out the State, that were there an
election in Indiana tomorrow, the
Republican ticket would be buried
out of sight.
"The people of Indiana under
stand these things" Mr.. Baker
says, "and are utterly Disguised with
Harrison and his Administratio
They are keeping somewhat quiet
now in hopes that the situation will
improve. However the policy of ca
tering to the Mugwumps, playing
into the hands of the men whose in
fuence during the campaign was of
no benefit to him, and ignoring the
rank and file of the Republicans of
the back counties, who elected him,
he will find himself without cor
poraPs guard in his own State when
he comes to set up the pins for re-
nomination.

DUBUQUE, IA, November 6.-The
Herald, dem, has returns from 81
counties in the State. These give
Boies plurality or 1900. The re-
naming 80 counties, in 1887, gave a
Republican plurality of IL, 29S. On
this basis Boies already has plur-
atty of 1892, and all gains in the
remaining 80 counties will simply
add to his plurality. If the same
ratio Of Democratic gains continue
through the 32 counties, Boies will
have a plurality in the State of from
5000 to 10000. 1t is now impossi-
BILE to defeat him, and his plurality
is only question of gains in the re-
naming one-third of the State. SO
far there is not a county, with one
or two exceptions, but what shows a
Democratic gain. In the counties
so far heard from there is an average
gain of 375 to each. Boies is almost
certain to take the balance of the
ticket with him.
Dubuque county, in full, gives
A, 1896 majority for Boies and every
man on the Democratic local ticket
is elected. Senator Allison is now
badly frightened lest the legislature
may also De lost.
The Des Moines Register { Repub-
lican) says: Returns from every
legislative district show that the
next legislature will stand: Senate
Republicans, %; Democrats, %;
House-Republicans, 81; Democrats,
At; doubtful, l.
A later dispatch from Des Moines
says: Complete returns from 95
counties and the remaining four
counties estimated the same as two
years ago show that Boies has 5995
plurality. The official returns will
undoubtedly increase this majority
to about 1000. The entire Demo
cratic State ticket, lieutenant gov
ernor, justice of the supreme court,
superintendent of public instruction
and railway commissioner is elected.
The Republicans claim the legisla-
ture by eight majority on joint
ballot.

FOR sPECULATIONs IN LAND
Monongalia County Offers the Best
Inducements to Capitalists.

In the last few weeks there have
been several Pennsylvania men of
means who have looked over farms
in this county, studied the soil and
the nature Of its adaptation and have
about come to the conclusion that
money expended for land here prom.
iscs surer returns than many places
elsewhere.
One of these men is Mr.. G. w.
Roberts, of Washington, Pa. who, in
company with DIR. Dodd of that
place, have been over a good portion
of the county and sounded land
owners on prices of selling. To the
New DOMINION representative Mr..
Roberts said:
II find much more arabic land than
l expected to see from reports had
before visiting here. was sure l
had struck the right place when l
found good tilable land at $50 an
acre, suitable for sheep and other
stock raising or suitable for the best
purposes of agriculture, the same
quality of land, on which no better
farming profit can be obtained, sell
ing in Washington county for $3.50
an acre and hard to get at that price.
Land that is as we'll improved as
land can be, with barns and all nee
essary buildings can buy in your
county for from $40 to $50 an acre,
land with the same improvements
and in fact not of so good quality
can only be bought at from $3.50 to
$175 per acre in our county.
"Now," continued Mr.. Roberts,
"the inducement to purchase land in
Monongalia is that as much money
can be made on your $50 land as can
be made on our $3.50. Your land
here is adapted to the best results OF
scientific farming, and Of course our
land can be no more. This all be-
ing true farming can be made to pay
better here than at home because it
requires smaller outlay of capital
to make start. There is no better
land and as a matter naturally fol-
lowing there can be no better farm
ing than can be done here, not saying
that there is the best farming now
done on your lands. We want to in
vest in a few of these farms and we
are going to sell them to some of our
young Washington county farmers.
West Virginia has glorious future
and this is particularly true of Mon
ongalia county. You can say with
truth that you have land far superb
or to some of the fiat land Of the
West or the high priced Pennsylva
MIA land"
1t does us good to hear our coun-
ty praised in such high terms. Put
Washington county industry on
Monongalia farms and the result is
sure to prove increased remunera-
tion. We believe the above from
Mr.. Roberts to be truthful state
ment and we rely on the farmers of
our county to practically appreciate
