MRS. MAVERICKS INHERITANCE.
Lawsuit in New York Again Calls Atten'
tion to the Unfortunate Woman.

NEW YORK, February 17.-Public at
tention has again been called to the fa-
nous case of Mrs. Maybrick, now serv-
ing life sentence in England on charge
of poisoning her husband, by friendly
suit for an accounting of her grandfath-
er's estate, the hearing of which was be-
gun yesterday before Referee John III.
Judge of No. 80 Broadway.
The suit has been brought to take ac-
counting of the trustees of the estate of
Darius B. Holbrook, who was Mrs. May
bricks maternal grandfather, and once
wealthy and well known real estate
dealer in this city, He died in 1858.
Mrs. Maybrick's mother the Baroness
Caroline 4. Won Roques, of Rouen,
| France, is heiress to the estate, on which
there is said to be due $4,000. On the
death Of Mr.. Holbrook one-half of his
estate was left to his widow, the other
half to trustees, to be held for his daugh-
| ter, now the Baroness Won Roques, and
since the death of Holbrook's widow i'll
| 1873 there has not been an accounting by
the trustees. In the event of her sur
viving her mother Mrs. Maybrick would
succeed to the bulk of the property, ex-
| CeDlI1S I)IONlSlOH IOA ollO VI WV 5Ilee'A
annuities.
There is property in this city and Ken
lucky that belongs to the estate, the
whole value being only about $4,000.
Mrs. MAVERICK and her friends are anx-
ious to get all the funds available to aid
her to have her case reopened. The
original trustees are all dead, and those
now acting do not care to pay over to
| Mrs MAVERICK any money,
except under direction of the court.
The present suit was therefore brought
by Mrs. Maybrick's S mother on the one
hand and on the other by Mrs. May
brick and the trustees. Counsel for the
trustees yesterday asked for weeks de
lay, to give them time to prepare the
necessary arrangements for the account
ing, and this was acceded to.
Counsel for Mrs. Maybrick said that
the Baroness Won Rogue declares that
she will devote all the money to the
cause OF securing the release Of her
daughter.

But They Saved Other Property.
Especial to the Press.J


LIvER1IoRE FALLS, February T.-At
twelve clock last night the alarm of fire
was sounded, and in five minutes the en-
tire variety wood turning mills were one
roaring mass of flame. The department
quickly responded and saw that the mills
were doomed, and confined their atten-
ton to surrounding property. The
leather-board mill, owned by G. A. Record,
caught several times and was saved only
through the great efforts of the depart
ment. Five streams were at once put on
the flames. The cause of the fire is sup
posed to have been hot box in the pol
ishing rooms. A rough estimate Of the
loss is $4,000 to $4,000; partially in
sured. This was the toughest fire that
has visited this town for several years.
The building was owned by G. A. Record
and occupied by the American Spool,

WASHINGTON, February 17.-The
President today sent to Congress mes
sage calling attention to the Choctaw
and Chickasaw claims for the payment
of which Congress appropriated $2,991,-
45O in the Indian appropriation bill
passed by the last Congress. This
amount was to be paid these Indians for
their interests in lands lying south Of the
Canadian river in Indian territory now
occupied by the Cheyennes. Three
fourths of the appropriation was to be
paid to such person or persons as should
be authorized by the laws of the Choc-
taw nation to receive it and a fourth to
the Chickasaws The message says:
''If this section had been submitted to
me as a separate measure, I should have
disapproved it, but, as Congress was
then in its last hours, the disapproval of
the general Indian appropriation bill, OF
which it was part, would have resulted
in consequences so far reaching and dis
astrous that / felt it my duty to approve
the bill. Soon after the passage of the
law it came to my knowledge that the
Choctaw legislature had entered into an
agreement with three citizens of that
tribe to pay them, as compensation for
procuring this legislation, 25 per cent of
any appropriation that might be made
by Congress. The amount to be secured
by these three agents under this agree
ment out of the three-fourths interest in
the appropriation of the Choctaw nation
was $500, $50. have information that a
contract was made by the Chickasaws to
pay about 10 per cent of their fourth in
terest to the agents and attorneys who
represented them.n In view of these
facts, the President declares he believes
it the duty of Congress to take measures
to protect the Indians from extortion.

THE WORLDS END.
Amherst People Thought of That When
They Felt the Earthquake.
Especial to the Press.l

lDpGCldl W tiO lCco.J
BANGOR, February 17.-The little town
of Amherst near this city, was greatly
startled this forenoon by a sudden shock
and loud explosion. The first thought of
the people was that the boiler in the tan
merry had exploded. Investigation
showed that this was not true. Cattle
and horses trenbled with fear and horses
which were on. the roads stopped in ter
ror. Women and children were greatly
terrified and men, when they thought of
the aurora berealis Saturday night,
thought perhaps the world was coming
to an end. People gathered in groups
and discussed the matter, and all agree
that it must have been an earthquake.
All accounts of the matter seem to
agree. There was the shock and then
the loud explosion. So far as now
known the shock was not felt or heard
in other places. The matter, of course, is
mystery but there is not much doubt
that it was an earthquake and accounts
from other places will probably be re-
ported.

WATERvILLE, February 17.-William
Flynn, a hostler in Captain Jewell's
livery stable, this afternoon drove two
men to North Vassalboro. The men
were intoxicated when they engaged the
team. After leaving them at their desti-
nation, Flynn was seen to fall forward in
the sleigh. He was taken into barber
shop, the fumes of liquor causing
the bystanders to think the man uncon-
scious only from the effects of drink.
Fred Pooler, Jewell's foreman, drove to
Vassalboro in response to telephone
message stating that Flynn was drunk.
Upon his arrival, he at once saw that the
man whom the people in the shop suppoos-
ed to be sleeping off the effects OF a
spree, was dead. Coroner Edwards was
called and decided that Flynn's death
was due to liquor and exposure, the
thermometer standing at 250 below zero;
Flynn was IS years old, unmarried and
was steady man. He had evidently,
however, drunk with his passengers on
the cold ride and being enervated with
the cold, thesliquor had caused his death.

Especial to the Press.l
BANGOR, February 17.-The CONNER
cial travellers of New England held in
City Hall tonight the first meeting for
the consideration of a project to erect
an industrial building at Goodwill farm,
home for boys started by Rev. G. W.
Hinckley, and supported wholly by un-
solicited subscriptions. There was large
attendance of the travelling men. In the
absence of W. F. Clement of Waterville,
who originally started the project, Mayor
Snow of Bangor called the meeting to
order and presided. He made brief in
troductory remarks commencing the OBJ
ject warmly and calling to it the atten-
ton of every commercial man. He was
followed by Rev. Mr.. Hinckley,
The Founder of the Home,
who traced it's history. He first spoke of
the first subscriptions ever made to the
project coming from Bangor people and
thought the drummers had selected an
excellent place to set the ball rolling.
The home now had 81 boys, and since it
was started not single week has passed
without an application for admission be-
ing received, the first for this week hav-
ing been made from among tonight's au-
dience.
After Mr.. Hinckley's long and interest
ing talk, President A. W. Small of Colby
University took the platform and told
the drummers that their project had all
the elements of complete success, and
only needed to be doomed to attain the
desired result. He thought that it would
give its supporters
Good Name Among the People.
The audience became very entllusias-
tic over President Small's address.
Rev. T. E. Busfeld of Bangor spoke
encouragingly of the enterprise, and
complimented the practical good sense
of the commercial travellers.

from an architect in Gardiner, who of
fered to make all the plans free, and his
offer was accepted by the meeting. A

LONG LIST OF REASONS FOR THE
SENATOR'S RETIREMENT.

What the Executive Committee of the
Pennsylvania Republican Association
Has To say-Quay's Rule Means Re-
publican Defeat-He is Accused of Bad
Methods at Home and Neglest of Duty
at Washington.
PHILADELPHIA, February 1.-THE ex-
ecutive committee of the Pennsylvania
Republican Association will, tomorrow,
issue an address to the Republican voters
of Pennsylvania, in which it says: ''Be-
lieving the best interests of the Republi-
can party demand the retirement of Mr..
Quay from the United States Senate at
the expiration of his present term, and
that he should be succeeded by loyal
Republican, possessed of the qualities
necessary to the proper fulillment Of
that high and responsible position, we
hereby appeal to you for your support in
our effort to accomplish this result. A
point has been reached where, unless
prompt action is taken within the Repub-
lican party to depose Quay from further
disastrous leadership, the party in this
state will f&il to achieve it's true mission,
and sooner or later meet with final
overthrow. Without malice, with a de-
sire to be fair to Mr.. Quay, and deter
mined to be loyal to the Republican par
ty. the committee outlines the following
reasons for opposing his reelection:
ssWe oppose him because he has forced
unpopular nominations and platforms
which
Wrought Defeat to the Party.
'sBecause he has instigated or counter
anced the defeat of the party S candidates
to achieve some personal end.
because he has repeatedly induced
Debates and legislators to misrepresent
the wishes of a majority of their constit-
uents.
because he has aided in defeating
| legislation to secure free ballot and a
fair count to the enactment OF which the
party was pledged and which, as its ma
tional chairman, he was in honor bound
to have supported.
| because. by reason of his frequent ab-
sence from the Senate and the diversion
of his time to office getting, he has failed
to do the work he should have done i'll
behalf of legislation of vital Importance
to the state of Pennsylvania and to secure
the enactment of single important mea-
sure during his five years service ut
! Washington, s&
Because lie both by words and ac-
tions has discredited the pledged policy
of his party in behalf of genuine, busi--
ness like reform OF the civil service, and
has compelled Office holders to
Devote Their Time and Money
to political work in his own behalf.
because of his attempts to embarrass
the present sound and patriotic admins
tration due to the fact that several Off
ces in this state were not placed entirely
at his disposal.
Because he repeatedly opposed the
nomination of Mr.. Blaine for the Presi-
| dency.
Because he has had primaries and
conventions called long before there was
any necessity for so doing in order to
forestall the growing public sentiment
against him or his candidates.
Because he has placed men in offices
or positions so hampered by pledges to
him that they cannot faithfully perform
their duties to the state or their party"
