THE MAVERICK CASE.
Before the English Courts In Another
Shape.

Before tIe English Courts In Another
Shape.
LONDON, Nov. 2.---In court OF appeals the
Sir Charles Russell, in opening his argu-
ment. said the appeal raised q most import-
ant question. The plaintiffs for whom he
appeared were the executors OF the late
Mr.. Maybrick, who had effected an insur-
ance of $4,000 with the defend
ants insurance company in favor of
his wife. Mrs. Florence Maybrick,
now confined in working jail. The
defendants. counsel said, had paid on &C.
count $1,000 Of the amount claimed. but
they refused to pay the remainder. In sup
port of this refusal, he said. the defendants
submitted that the conviction of Mrs. May
brick was not conclusive. Continuing, Sir
Charles said that, on the contrary, plain
tiffs submitted the fact that the sentence aa
commuted was not evidence of innocence.
The real question, be claimed, was whether
Mr.. Maybrick, having effected a policy in
favor OF his wife, and whether, assuming
that he died at her hands, this was any
answer to the executors claims.
The attorney general then proceeded to
cite authorities in favor of his contention.
The present appeal grow out OF Judgment
given July 20 last, in an action brought in
the interest of Mrs. Maybrick against the
insurance association to recover $4,000 in
surance u, on her husbands life. The court
at that time decided that as Mrs. Maybrick
had been convicted Of having murdered
her husband she could not recover the
amount for which his life was insured. as
his death was caused by the person TO,
whose benefit the action was brought.
The day after this Judgment was rem
dered high legal authority made the asser-
ton that the insurance association's re-
fusal to pay Mrs. Maybriok the insurance
on her husbands life on the ground that hi
death was caused by her would enable thu
convicted woman to bring out in a civi
action the facts traversed in tn,
murder trial, since she could compel thu
insurance companies to prove that sh'
murdered her husband. This high lega
authority is said to have based mis- opinion
on the fact that according to English Law
the conviction was not proof between othel
parties, but only between the pr osecutio1
and the prisoner.

Discountenances ANY Insinuation Against
Greenwood, of Kansas City.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 2.-LSpeciall-C. 8. Fee,
general passenger agent of the Northern
Pacific. said to-day that the manner in
which the National Educational association
convention for 1892 was changed from Hell
sna to Saratoga was a strange commentary
on the way in which the association was
conducted. He did not credit the rumors
that eastern roads were tho instiRators of
the deal, nor did he think there was
anything known to warrant the
denunciation of one of the members of the
executive committee which made the
charge. He did think, however, that the
association was governed in q very peculiar
manner when such thing could happen.
BY large majority the teachers at the
Toronto convention had selected Helena as
the place for holding the next convention,
as against Saratoga. Fee thinks the teach
srs should wake up to the fact that rad
ical change is needed in the rules govern
ing this convention when a committee of
five persons has the power to defeat the
will of the teachers themselves.

day OF tho landing tic San Francisco. coni-
mnnded by Admiral Brown, was In ValpAr-
also bay, and the Esmerslda and Cochrnne,
vessels of the insargents. The san Fran
cisco suddenly stAnmed down toward Quin-
teros and refused to answer signals OF tho
Esmsralda, which were passed by. four
times. Admiral Brown ran close to tho IN
surgents' landing place and cfuised about,
gaining complete knowledge Of the strength
Of the insurgents. After gaining complete
information the San Francisco steamed at
once for ValpRraiso. Upon arriving an
officer was sent ashore, who went imme.
medistely to Balmaceda's palace. That
night the Valparaiso papors came out with
complete information OF tho strength
of the insurgents, nccreditinR 1T 70
the United States man-Of-war. This
made things so hot for Admiral Brown that
four weeks later, whom the insurgents were
in control, he explained that his officers, in
Waiting the palace, had given no informa-
tion, but ns all cnble messages had to be
read bv the government before being sent,
and his visit was that purpose, in checking
this message to Warrington tue govern
ment got the information. But that ex-
planntion did not satisfy the people. il
Admiral Brown did give out information
obtained and appriss Balnaceda of just
what was coming, he ought to be dismissed
from service. Perhaps his explanation ia
correct, but it can readily be secn how no
explanation could dissipate the intense
prejudice aroused"

DENVER, Nov "A San Francisco special
to the News says: w. D. Cotton, an old
resident of this city, who, is Chilian consul
here, makes some sensational statements
over his own signature. He makes every
effort to defend the Chilian government
and says: "There is evidently much more
noise being made over this matter than the
facts justify. In Chill these affairs are be-
ing discussed in calm and thorough
manner. Chilli does not seek trouble with
the United .States, but merely insists that
this 30 called serious affair needs to be
thoroughly investigated bsfore any reply
can be given to the dispatches sent by the
state department.. If Chill is wrong
will vii not m be unduly hastened
any more than would the United States
under similar circumstances. Chilli is nat
urally hurt that 80 great nation as this
should have shown 80 great hostility dur
ing all their troubles. In fact, the whole
action of the United States for years has
been against Chill. while the latter has al
ways done everything to harbor kindly feel

standard Of both gold and silver,
with tho equal right Of each to frec, uri-
limited coinnge. The prohibitionists de-
mandsd az circulating mediums gold, silver
and paper. Tho peoples pnrty demanded
that full legal tender treasury notes be
issued in sufficient volume TO conduct the
business Of the country on cash basis;
favored government loans directly to the
people, at n rate Of interest not to exceed
two per cent, and the unlimited coinage OF
silver.
Major Mckinley having made frequent
references In his speeches to the growing
American industry of the manufacture OF
tin, sharp controversy arose over the
question whether there WAS any growing
tin industry. or even any tin ore in the
United States. The outlook Ia not easy to
determine. Opposition to Gov. Campbell
in his own party was 80 pronounced before
the nomination that the republicans had no
thought Of the possibility of his success,
and placed Mckinley's majority at 1900
and upwards, but rs tho campaign pro-
gressed, the voice OF tho opposition had
been stified and its extent lesa and less ap-
parent. As far an appearances go the fight
has not not been seriously Influenced by the
peoples and prohibition parties. The re-
publlcans assert with confidence victory
for Mckinley, but the democrats claim they
will elect Campbell and the legislature. The
uncertainties are the effect Of the Austria
linn ballot law, the strength Of the peoples
party. and the conclusions which Ohio
farmers and woolRrowors NAV have arrived
at on the tariff and financial questions.
Chairman Hahn, Of the republican state
committee. estimates the election of
Mckinley by from 1900 to BLOOD.
and claims that the republicans will
carry the senate by four majority, and the
house by from twenty to twenty-five major
ity. He believes the peoples party will
poll 10000 votes. and the prohibitionists
II, 600. Chairman Neal, of the democratic
committee, claims the election OF Campbell
by 1l,OO0 plurality. and general assembly by
eight on joint ballot. Governor Campbell
thinks there is not the least doubt of his
election.

SPOKANE, Nov. p Special. The first ac-
oident to result in this city on account of
electric wires occurred late this evening on
Riverside avenue in front of the postoffice.
A telephone wire had burned in two and
and fallen across one of the trolley wires Of
the Spokane Street Railway company. The
trolley wire was in turn burned in two and
fell to the ground. A passing team ran
into it. There was a streak of flame and
both horses foil. one being killed instantly,
while the other was not seriously injured.
The driver jumped from the seat and was
in the act of attempting to remove the
harness to extricate the horses when
warning shock caused him to desst. A
vagrant dog ran up to see what was the
matter. stepped on the PROSTATE wire. gave
a yelp and fell dead. The current was
turned off. Thousands of people filled the
street.

the examiner was in charge Of the bank

While the exact loss il not definitely
known, it was clear that the bank is
iusolvent and that as its capital, and undi-
vided profits amounted to 81, 40O,O 900, it fol-
lowed that the loss exceeded that amount.
He added he did not believe that any other
bank was involved in the failure. Subse..
quently the comptroller Was informed Of
the action of the clearing house associ alton

clearing house was." he said, "a very

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov 2.-Great interest is
felt in the election in this state, seldom
before equaled in Nebraska, not because of
high offices at stake--for only supreme
Judge and regents Of the university are to
be elected but because it is to determine
whether or not the Farmers alliance or
independent party is to gain political
supremacy. In ono respect the present
situation is without patallel i'll the past
thirty or forty years. The democratic party
is without candidates, allowing the state to
90 by default. This ia all the more re-
marknhle when it is remembered that but
one year ago their candidate, Boyd, was
elected governor, and only deprived of tho
high office on the ground OF non-natural-
ization. Tho present decentralization OF the
democratic patty ia due to the refusal OF
their nominee for supreme judge to make
the race, whareupon their candidates for
regents were alike withdrawn and the field
left to tho republicans, independents and
prohibitlonists. Tho republicans nomi-
mated A. Nj. Post for supreme judge, Charles
Marph and ii. II. Shumway for regents.
The undergraduates nominated j; w.
and l.. A. lladley for regents.
The prohibitionists nominated Mrs. Ada
Hitenbender for supreme judge and
Rev. VIM. Gorst and Mrs. Caroline M.
Woodwards for regents. All parties admit
that the contest between the republicans
and farmers or indepepeEdent party Will DO
vely close, tho prohibition vote naturally
being lipht. In no other state in the union
has the campaign been so entirely and ex-
clusiveiy devoted to the financial question.
Even tho tariff has beer almost lost sight
of in the sharp fight which was wagesed be-
tween republicans and independents upon
the s,lyer question. At their state conven-
tlons tho republicans endorsed protection
and the independents denounced it. The
republicans endorsed the republican FREQ
coinage act, but denounced unlimited silver
coinage The independents demanded the
issue OF legal tender notes by the govern

The Prairie Farmer, of Chicago, comes
out with its initial number for 1891 in
a handsome new dress. and is indeed
an elegant paper, filed with the
soundest and most practical informa-
ton for all interested in agriculture
in its many departments. The pres.
ent editorial organization of The Prai.
RE Farmer is most complete and thor.
Ough, and the journal enters its 5lst
year better equipped than ever. Writ
ers who are well known authorities
are its regular contributors, and their
articles are accompanied by illustra'
tions and eDgravings, to assist the
reader to the fullest understanding of
the subject treated.
The Prairie Farmer is a model home
paper, alike useful to the farmer, the
villager, and the city man, furnishing
delightful reading for all who love
and appreciate agriculture. The
ladies and children are not forgotten,
for its departments of Household
Garden and Lawn, Young Folks. Pc
etry, Puzzles and Miscellany are un.
surpassed.

More Arrests for Sunday Work

Word has been received at the CEN
trail office of the National Religious
Liberty Association in Battle Greek
Mich, of the arrest of two of its mem.
bers in Fayette, Mo-, for doing theiI
farm work on Sunday. The arrested
men are also members OF the Seventh.
day Adventist Church, which holds
that Saturday, or the seventh day, is
the Sabbath, instead of Sunday, the
first day of the week.
Under the law of Missouri these
men could follow their common occu
patton on Sunday, at will, since that
law provides that all persons who are
members of religious society which
observes another day than the first
day of the week as the Sabbath, shall
be exempt from the penalties provided
for Sunday breaking, provided suct
persons actually observe the Sabbath
of their choice. In the face of thi.
fact, however, warrants have beer
taken out for their arrest, and, while
they have violated no statute of their
state, they are subjected to considera
bic annoyance in consequence.
1t seems strange that some people
are so prone to lapse into the darkness
of the ages of intolerance. 1t may
yet be necessary to re-evangelize some
parts of the United states in order tC
bring about a reign of religion that
will not seek to control the liberties OF
conscience that belong equally to each
member of the commonwealth. #%+
