NO HOPE FOR MRS. MAVERICK.

WASHINGTON, July &c, 1Ss7.-The
British Government has again declined
to interfere in the EXECUTION of the SEN
tence of Mrs. Florence Maybrick. on the
ground that there is no reason for a
change of Judgment in the matter The
last effort to secure at least an ameliora-
tion in the conditions of her confinement
was made by Ambassador Hay, who had
some correspondence on the subject with
the Foreign Office, which he has trans
mitted to the State Department.
Lord Salisbury appears to have called
for a report in the case from Secretary
Ridley and the latter regretfully stated
that he was unable, in view. of the con-
clusion which had been reached by him
self and by his predecessor as to Mrs.
Maybrick's guilt, to recommend t,nsa 9 to :, Her I
should be accorded to her Secretary Rid
ley also added that the medical report in
Mrs. Maybrick's case was quite satisfac-
tory, an evidence that the Government
does not credit any of the statements as
to the insanity Of the prisoner.

ALPINE CLIMBER KILLED.
[By cable 10 rae Associated Press. !

by Cable to The Associated Press.
PARIS, July 26. 1S97.-A special despatch
from Grenoble says that the body of
young Sorrel, the daring Alpine climber,
whose venturesome feats have attracted
attention this summer, and who started
on the 18th to make the ascent of Mount
Taillefer, has been found at the bottom
of deep crevasse with his neck broken.
Mr. SorreI was only nineteen years of
agel Evidently he had lost his way in
the fog.
The locality where young Sorrel met his
death is a popular exploring ground for
Alpine climbers in the Mt. Blanc dis
trict and is not considered especially dam
gerous for experts in clear weather Fogs,
however, render prospecting very perilous,
for the crevasses of the Glacier de Taille-
fer (written also Talefre) often open and
close at very short intervals. The Col de
Taillefer, or defile of the pass, rises to an
elevation of 1l,73O feet 1t is at the head,
or east end of the Glacier and between
the Aigulle (Needle) de taillefer and the
Aiguille de Triolet. Some of Sorrel's most
daring exploits had been in connection
with the Glacier passes.

STRANGE CONDUCT OF A BOY.
ProwIed About the Streets Mevi Dg
Like n Cat,

Charles Watticio, II years old, of No.
16 Centre street, Newark, was fined $40
this morning by Justice Nevin. The boy
was arrested at one o'clock this morn
ing prowling about back yards in Bright
street. The boy is supposed to be de-
mented.
James F. Gillen. James Lynch and resi-
dents of the vicinity of Bright and Varick
streets say that for the last two weeks
they have been awakened by strange
noises in their back yards. The noises
were first supposed to emanate from
cats, but subsequently it was discovered
that they were too powerful for such an
animal.
The residents became alarmed and con-
cluded that some kind of museum freak
was in hiding somewhere in the neigh
borhood The police were notified and
Watticios arrest followed. 1t was at first
supposed the boy contemplated commit
ting burglary, but his actions in court
today dispelled that idea.
Justice Nevin finally recalled the $40
fine and sent the prisoner to the County
Jail to be examined as to his sanity.
italians who know the boy say ne will
not stay at home with his parents, pre-
ferring to sleep out nights. His parents
have been notified of his arrest.

HOPE AT THE MINES.
Tomorfow's Conference May
Bring the End of the Strike
IF Not, Trouble Ahead.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 26, 1897.--Lively
times are promised in the coal mining
situation this week. A crisis is impend-
ing. This is conceded on all sides. The
Arbitration Commissioners, on the one
SIDE feel hopeful that they will bring
about the initiative for settlement at
the meeting Tuesday morning. The
miners officials on the other hand, claim
to have adopted measures that will make
a complete tie up. It-has developed that
many of the West Virginia miners are
awaiting word from the Pittsburg dis
trict and especially from the New York
and Cleveland mines. They want to hear
of the miners in these mines having
joined the general suspension.
This, it is claimed by the officials, will
bring all the faitering ones in West
Virginia into line, thus making the strike
effective in that it will shut off the supply
of coal To accomplish this, arrange
ments have been made for Eugene ".
Dobs and other prominent officials to
come to this city and hold meeting for
the benefit of the New York and Cleve-
land miners Thursday morning
Among the others expected to be pres
ford. M. M. Garland and w. H. Mahon.
lat this meeting it is intended to strike
a final decisive blow, and If possible
make the tie-up complete. The place has
not been selected as yet, but it will be in
a grove in close proximity to the Turtle
Creek, Sandy Creek and Plum Creek
mines of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company. The reputation of
Debs, it is expected, will prove to be a
magnet and 1900 miners are looked for
lat the meeting.
The meeting at Scottdale, Tuesday, of
meeting of labor leaders at Wheeling are
also looked upon as important features
at this period of the strike. Should the
Westmoreland miners be brougnt out
there are fears for serious trouble az lie
Armitt'S mines.
Reports from the coke regions indicate
that the cokers are not likely to come
out The Board of Arbitrators report
meeting tomorrow, which, they claim TO
think. means much toward the result of
the proposed settlement of the strike by
arbitration. An effort is being made to
have as many river men attend the meet
ing as possible.
The report that raid on the mines OF
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
Company was contemplated TINS morning
running as usual today and everything
was quiet The special deputies called
for last night, returned TO the
city this morning no strikers
having appeared in the vicinity. A RAID
is not now probable until after the Debs
meeting on Thursday. If the men refuSe
to come out then a demonstration quite
likely will be made later.
A band of strikers marched on the
Jumbo mines of Robbins in the Panhan-
die district this morning.

FlNANCIERS' REPLY.
said to Be an Exceedingly
Bitter Review of Mayor
Hoos' Letter.
ANOTHER ATTACK FORTHCOMING
Street and Water Board Will Pass
Their Resolutions About Pay
rolls Over the Veto.

Tonight's meeting of the Finance Board
promises to be a lively one. The members
have had prepared with great care an
answer to the Mayors letter in which he
arraigned them for their management OF
the city's finances. The Mayors letter
caused a commotion in official circles and
it is said that the Finance Boards
answer is equally bitter and will contain
many bits of startling information.
Police Justice Nevin and other gentle
men equally well versed in the city's
finances particularly under the wansel
administration, have had a hand in the
preparation of the answer The Finance
Commissioners say it will probably make
His Honor just about as hot as his lette1
made them.
The Finance Commissioners, however,
are not to have everything their own way.
Mayor Hoos has prepared another letter
for their benefit and it is said TO be
full of fire. It is reported that he has
taken the Commissioners to task on
many points of interest. What the letter
contains no one knows. His Honor is
anxious that the Finance Commissioners
should read 1t before the public see it.
Leader Robert DAVIS and Allan L. Mo
and Water Commissioners this morning.
Four days ago Mayor Hoos sent to the
Board a veto of resolutions ordering the
salaries of the employees of the Water
Department paid.
The Mayors only object in vetoing the
resolutions was to force the Commis-
sioners to first submit them to the FL
nance Board for concurrence. Allan L
| MeDermott had advised the Commission
ers that the Finance Board cid not pos
sess concurrent power in such matters.
When the Finance Commissioners learned
| that they were to be ignored they asked
Counsel Blair for an opinion defining
their powers. He advised them that they
had concurrence power.
The Street and Water Commissioners
ignored the opinion and sent their Tesolu-
| tions direct to the Mayor. His Honor
asked Corporation Counsel Blair for an
| opinion on the subject It was to the eff
feet that the Finance Board had lost none
of it's concurrent power.
On that opinion the Mayor vetoed the
resolutions. Allan McDermott still in
sists that the Finance Board has no
power to pass upon the salary payrolls.
The Street and Water Commissioners
have concluded to stand by his advice.
/ They will accordingly at this afternoons
meeting override the Mayors veto, the
| four Democrats voting together. 1t is
| believed that the Mayor will sign the sal
ary warrants without carrying the fight
| any farther.

MONUMENT TO KosOIUsoo.
Eia Fellow-Countrymen Contem-
plate Erecting One in Chicago.

The Poles of Chicago propose the erec-
ton in one of the city parks of monu-
ment in memory of Kosciusko, who did
so much to assist the colonies in the war
for independence. OF all the many dis
tinguished foreigners who lent their aid
to the colonies none is deserving of more
praise. nor was there one whose services
were of greater value than those of Kos
ciusko, says the Chicago News He was

Warsaw and rendered his own country

one years old and he was commissioned
as an artillery officer in the Continental
Army. Not long after he was delegated
to plan the encampment and army post
known as Bemis Heights, and so well
was the work done that it withstood two
attacks from Burgoyne.. and finding 1t
impossible TO dislodge the Americans, he
retreated to Saratoga.
At subsequent date Kosciusko planned
the fortiflcations at West Point, Whlch
work was so well done that he became an
ington. At the close of the war he re-
ceived the thanks of Congress and the
badge of the Society of Cincinnati. He

DOES THE CALLED HORSE WINOE ?

Doctor and s. p. G. A. Officials.
An P. c. A. case that was tried be-
fore Justice Macs this morning developed
a decided difference of opinion between
President George Mccarthy and officer
Abel Brown, of the society, and Dr..
Richard W. A English, the surgeon in
charge of the veterinary hospital at Com
munipaw avenue and the Boulevard. DR..
English appeared as an expert witness
for the defendant. Charles Aultner, of No.

as driver by Contractor William f.
Baker, of No. 1877 South street Baker $
men were employed yesterday in repair
ing the Boulevard, south of Communipaw
avenue Aultner's wagon was used in
hauling macadam. He was working near
the bridge over the Newark and New
York Railroad, when officer Abel Brown
stopped the horse and on finding small
CALLED spot under the collar, but un-
touched by it, he placed Aultner under
arrest and took him to the Communipaw
avenue station, where he was paroled at
once. He protested against his arrest
and denounced it as an outrage. When
the horse became CALLED he said, he took
it TO the veterinary hospital, where it was
treated. DR.. English, he said, told him
that the animal would be better off at
work than standing idle in its STALL
Aultner retained Lawyer Edward A.
Ransom as his counsel and arranged with
DR.. English to be present at the trial be-
fore Justice Macs this morning.
DR.. English said of the case:-'sThe s..
P. C. A. have had Bakers men arrested
before for driving sore horses SO he came
to us the other day and asked our advice
about several of his horses that were

trouble is that not all of the S. P. c. A.

sometimes they are over Zealous.'
The S. p. c. A. officers contended that a

that the driving of a CALLED horse,

and who it was thought was killed by
lightning, although it developed later
that she died from a bullet wound. pur-
chased the revolver with which the fatal

When she called, the young woman said.
She wanted to be shown pistol for use
