REUNITED AT LAST.
George Davenport Separated from His
Wife for Twenty-Five Years.

LOUISVILLE. Jan. 26.-After a separation
OF twenty-five years during which time
each thought the other dead, George w.
Davenport and his wife have become re-
united in this city through letter from
Pension Commissioner Raum. The
story is peculiar one and smacks of the
romantic. Davenport and his wife we're
married in this city on June 10. 1866 by
the Rev. Lawrence Bax, but a year and a
half later the hus band departed for the
West to seek a fortune. It seems
that shortly after DavenpOrt's departure
he received letter from,a friend convey
ing the news of his wifs's death some time
before and stating that the body had been
buried by relstives. The husband did not
of course doubt the authenticity OF his
friends announcement and as he had no
near relatives in this CITY he never re-
urned. Mrs. Davenport failing TO hear
rom her husband sought high and low iOr
several years and then sorrowfullv arrived
at he conclusion that he was no Longer in
the land OF the living. The missing man
is a veteran of the civil war. He enlisted
in Company @ of the Eighteenth Mis-
souri,. AT Shiloh he was badly wounded.
Alter leaving the city he went to Texas.
At Ft. Worth he served as a deputy mar
shal for four years. He was a deputy
sheriff of TerTant county two years.
and served on the polics force for
three years. During all this time he was
receiving soldiers pension, and to this
IL due the discovery of the fact that his
wife is still living. In 1889 Mrs. Daven-
port was persuaded by friends 10 apply for
"A widows pension. When the app lea
ton was placed on file the pension
commissioner discovered that the man she
represented a. her deceased husband was
still alive and drawing a pension Alter
a lengthy investigation the commissioner
communicated his discovery 10 the sup
posed widow. Mrs. Davenport was over
ioyed and made an effort TO communicate
with her husband. He had in the mean
time left the Lone Star state and had
taken up a aim in Oklahoma but Com
missioner Raum finally succeeded in
reaching him by letter. Upon receipt of
the good news Mr.. Davenport Immediately
sold his claim and returned to Louisville
where he was met by his overioyed wife.

MRS. MAVERICK MUST STAY.
No Hope for Her Release from Prison
at Present.

LONDON. Jan. 25.-The latest action Of
the authorities indicated that there is very
little prospect for the release of Mrs
Maybrick. The baroness de Roques,
mother of Mrs. Maybrick, succeeded in
obtaining the consent of the well-known
physician. Sir Thomas Spencer Wells.
president of the Royal college of surgeons
and physicians to her mRjesty's house
hold, to visit her daughter and examine
her icondition. Application was made
TO Home Secretary As9Uith TO permit the
visit. The home secretary refused to
grant the application on the ground that
the medical treatment given by the prison
doctors was sufficient for Mrs. Maybrick
as for other prisoners. This decision of
the home secretary apparently convinced
the baroness that for the present at least
nothing could be done and she has gone
back to France.

Henschel was about twenty-three years
of age and so far as known had no cause
for a quarrel with Miss Bruce. Friends,
therefore, knowing him TO be a slave

There is possibility that within a short
time a new general manager Of the Schuyl.
kill Traction Company will be appointed.
Yesterday Mr. Edward W. Ash, gentleman
from Lowell Mass, spent most of his time
riding from one terminus to another of the
line and the attention he gave to the details
of the road lead to inquiries as to his identity.
The gentleman was not inclined to
give any information but reporter
learned after his departure that he is
very likely TO become one of the active Off =
cials of the road The object of his visit was
to inspect the general construction of the
lines and their routes to and through the
several towns and patches and see what he
could suggest for additional benefit to both
the company and its patrons. While here
Mr.. Ash stated to an acquaintance that he
was very lavorably impressed with the line
and he believed II could be made much
more valuable and important one than it
appears at present, Notwithstanding its pros
perty, He admitted that the general man
agement had been rendered him and init.
mated that he would probably accept the
position. People interested in the road were
quite iubilant when they heard Of the above
last night and expressed the hope that Mr..
Ash would take the line in hand. They say
it will be the best move the company has
yet made and if the change should take place
the road will be in the hands of man fully
acquainted with all the details of passenger
railway traffic. Mr.. Ash is by no means a
stranger to Schuylkil county. He was born
and raised in Tamaqua and held a position
there as train dispatcher under the Philadel.
phia & Reading Railroad Company until a
few years ago, when he resigned to accept an
important position under the Cornwall &
Lebanon Railroad Company. Recently he
resigned the latter to accept more impor-
tant position at Lowell, Mass, and he is still
