MAYBRIOK CASE
Being Argued in the Court OF Appeals In
London.

London.
LONDON, November 2.-In the Court
of Appeals the Maybrick case was COM
menced to-day. Sir Charles Russell, Q.
c., who was Attorney General under
Mr.. Gladstone's last administration In
opening his argument said that the ap-
peal raised most important question.
The plaintiffs for whom he appeared,
with the executors OF the latter, Mr.
MaybrIck, who had effected an insur.
apce OF $4,000 with the defendants
FIofenes IA MsSS-scs-, -.,A.- s-- a----sII-'-
The defendants counsel said he had
paid on account $1,000 of the amount
claimed but refused to pay the remain
der. In support OF this refusal he said
the defendants submitted that the con.
vlction Of Mrs Maybrick was not con-
elusive.
Continuing, Sir Charles Russell said
that on the contrary the plaintiffs SUBJ
mitted that the fact that the sentence
was committed was not evidence
of innocence. The real question,
he claimed, was whether Mr..
Maybrick, having effected a policy
in favor OF his wife, and whether as.
suming that he died at her hands was
any answer to executors claims. The
ex-Attorney- General then proceeded TO
cite authorities In favor Of his conten.
tion.

NEW YORK STATE.
Hard Work by Both Parties in the Empire
State-Fassett as q Fighter.

State-taSSett rs u flSnbers
New YORK, November 2.-The can
vaSs in New York State is closed and it
only remaining now to await the verdict
OF the polls. No more active campaign
has been made in this State since the
last Presidential contest.
The Prohibitionists and the Socialists
cOntented themselves with making nom
nations but the Democrats and Repub-
licans ever since their State tickets
were named, have been laboring for sue
cess with unremitting zeal and enthus
asm. Their orators have been constant
ly on the stump and every inch of
ground has been contested with an
ardor born of the conviction that sue
cess or defeat carries with it an intlu-
ence potent for good or evil in the Nat
ional campaign of 1892.
j. s. Fassett, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, has developed fight
ing qualities of the first order. He has
spoken in almost every county and in
all the chief cities. The keynote on
which he has rung all the changes has
been that the Tammany Tiger must be
slain in his lair, and that the vicious
influence of Tammany Hall, which hav-
ing the City of New York at its back,
seeks to conquer the State and Nation
in turn, must be overthrown, and the
endangered liberties of the people pre-
served by returning the Republican
Party to power.
The Democratic war cry has been
that "Platt and bis tool Fassett" were
chiefly responsible for the failure of
New York City to capture the Worlds
Fair, and that the party they represent
should therefore be disciplined by de-
feat.

Then she stopped down To detach
the cord just as the ridiculous beast
gave another violent jerk and she
nearly lost her equilibrium, and her

She sprang TO the window and

goat gave his head several angry
bobs, aud each time the girl uttered
cry OF pain Again she called into
the darkness.
Harry, il YOU don't stop jerking
like that won't come down atall.
She was answered 10y another say
