MRS. MAYBRICR LIBELLED.
The Baroness de Rouques Denies the ke-
ports in the st James Gazettee'

LONDON, Jan. 5.--The Baroness de
Rouques writes from Paris to the Cen
trail News:
IT am Mortified to find gross libel In
the st. James Gazette on Mrs MayoricK'
I ask you to contradict entirely, on my
authority. this Infamous charge against a
defenseess woman, who is powerless 10
speak, or even to know what is said
against her. 1t is unworthy Of English.
Every word is false. The libel in the 81.
James Gazette attacks also my integrity.
Our honor is concerned, and l trust that
every one will sustain me In making a
public appeal that an independent ana
frst-class physician be instructed by the
home Office to visit Mrs. Maybrick and re-
port upon her case.
The statement in the st. James Gazette
TO which the Baroness de Rouques alludes
was TO the effect that Mrs. Maybrick had
been swallowing needles in order to cause
an effusion of blood from the stomach
and thereby create the impression that
she was in the final stages of consump'
ton.

q possibility of the deadlock in the Sem

cations that certain members were not
acting in good faith and there now seems
a possibility of a coalition of anti-monop-
oily members and the organization OF the
Senate irrespective Of party lines.

G1LmoRE's BARN DESTROYED.
The Loss is About 81 ,5oo-Insured
for $3.50.

Sandersyille, Ga, Sept. 2l.-At 10:3O
o'clock last night the large barn of Col.
John N. Gilmore, a short distance in the
rear of his residence, 1was destroyed by
fire. The heat was intense and it was
only by prompt action of those nearest the
fire at its incipiency that the horses and
COWS were liberated. Two cows Were
consumed. The falling sparks and the
heat Of the flames endangered the sur
rounding buildings, but the bucket bri-
gade prevented the spread of the fire,
which would have proven very disas-
trOus.
The origin of the fire is not known. Col.
Gilmore was one of the first to see it. 1t
started in the third story Of the barn,
about midway of the building. The sec
ond and third stories were filed with
ground peas, about half cured. Col. Gil
more thinks it is possible that a spark
from the engine of the Augusta and South
ern railroad, which passes within a few
yards of his barn, might have been car
ried into the barn through lattice work
that had been placed there for ventilat-
ing. He is not inclined to think that it
was of iucendiary origin. The building
was locked when he got to it. The barn
cost about 81 800, and was insured for
$3.50 1t contained a large quantity of
provender, cotton seed and corn, besides
improved agricultural implements The
vehicles were saved. The entire loss is
estimated at g, 500.
