Further Facts That Go To Show She Did
Not Poison Her Husband.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Ever since Messrs.
Bird 81 Sons, the chemists of Birming-
ham, who few days age made known
the result of an analysis of quantity
of German glycerine that was offered
them for sale, the analysis showing the
presence of arsenic, the firm has been
inundated with letters from friends OF
Mrs. Florence Maybrick.
Messrs. Bird & Sons refused TO buy
the glycerne because of the arsenic in
it, and later they learned that it had
been sold in the Midland. counties. II
is believ4 by many persons that james
MaybricE husband of Mrs. MaybriclS
for whose poisoning the latter is serving
life sentence in Working prison, pur
chased and took as medicine some OF
this glycerine containing arsenic.
The Messrs. Bird state that they did
not revive the subject of Mr.. Maybrick't
death with the view TO throwing light
upon the matter. They merely made a
casual reference to his death. They say
that upon reflection they do not think
Mr.. Maybrick was confirmed arsenic
eater, and that it is likely that he was
killed by using the glycerine referred to

Worth, mail agent. D.
The train was running at a good speed
when the accident occurred and there
was no warning. The engineer, as soon
as he saw that the switch was mis-.
placed, did his best to stop the train but
it was too late and the cars left the rails
bounding off into the ditch against the
telegraph poles. The cars turned over
and as soon as possible those who were
not injured went to work to get out
those who were hurt.
The accident broke the telegraph
wires and 1t was some time before any

THANKSGIVING DAY.



Between the long vacation
And the Christmas holidays
Comes in the bright THANKSGIVING,
When our ringing cheers we raise,
In the frosty. tingling weather,
With sheaves in barn and bin,
We haste to see the fellows
Their latest victory win.
Pell-mell by train and steamer
The merry people throng,
BY the onward strength Of thousands
The crowd is swept along.
The girls with telltale ribbons,
And perhaps telltae blush,
Nowhit behind their brothers,
Are mingling in the rush.
Dear grandmammas and aunties.
With q softly tluttering sigh,
Lament the old THANKSGIVING
AS the new comes LAUNDERING bv.
Then to the homes fair Mecca
Theiscattered tribes returned.
And told the years long story
Where the great hearth fire burned.
But though we keep Thanksgiving
In the new athletic way
We are much like famished pilgrims
When the sunset skies are gray,
By clans the kinsfolk gather
In many hungry horde,
And we finish our thanksgiving
AT the happy family board.

preparing a savage attack on Secretary
Hoke Smith, to be delivered in the
Senate. He has said that he cid not APP

and that he thought that perhaps it was
costing more to suspend pensions than
to pay them; that he did not believe in
spending 500 for special agents and
other services to stop the payment of a

that perhaps he might say something to
that effect in the Senate.

in the new Henrietta Theatre. corner
Spring and Front streets, at S15 tonight
and in less than an hour and a-half this
elegant playhouse, the Chittenden Hotel
and Auditorium and the Park Theatre
were in ruins.
Felix Morris in THE Paper Chase" was
playing at the theatre, and the orchestra
had Jnst finished the overture when the
manager, Albert Owens, appeared on the
stage and informed the audience that there
was small blaze in the rear of the theatre
and suggested that they leave. AS no
flames were to be seen and the audience
was small they did so in order. The MEM
beers OF the company were dressed for their
parts, and as they were assured the theatre
was tirc-proof made no effort to remove
their wardrobes.
In a few moments the flames, which
first appeared in the large Auditorium adj
joining the theatre, which was unfinished
broke out in the rear of the stage and
almost instantly the whole proscenium
was ablaze. The members of the company
fled in their stage clothes. The manager
said that he had saved almost nothing.
A high wind was blowing from the west
and famed the flames SO that when the
tre department arrived the theatre was
doomed and the Chittenden Hotel. adjoin-
ing on the east, was burning.
man who was recognized as Andrew
Armstrong, stage hand, and who worked
above the scenery, appeared at the
f0urthstory window of the theatre and
cried for help. He was told not to jump
and he would be saved. He disappeared
from the window and was not seen again.
The walls of the theatre fell in soon
after. So far as is known this was the only
life lost. The guests of the Chittenden
Hotel had ample time to escape. but few
OF them saved any property.
Governor Mckinley lived in the Chitten-
den, and his apartments were totally de-
stroyed. He and his wife are IN Boston.
