Vast Land Suit Demands Her Presence
 Here.

Unless Mrs Florence E. Maybrick IS released from Aylesbury prison In Eng land in time to return 10 the United States within a short time to testify in suits pending here, she and her mother, the Baroness von Roques, will lose in- terest and title in 2,500,000 acres of land in Kentucky Virginia and West Virginia valued at $7,500000.
 The suits are now on the doekets in Richmond Va, and In the Circuit court of Cable county, W. Va.
 Baroness von Roques and her daugh- ter, Mrs. Maybrick in their answers ana bills filed In the suits, assert that their former attorney, w. D. Armstrong, fraudulently secured their signatures to deeds. They believed at the time, they say, that they were signing deeds for only a small portion of their land in Ken lucky and have since learned that they signed away their entire land holdings
 The signature of Mrs. Maybrick was secured on the day she was in the pris- oner's dock in the Liverpool court await ing the verdict of the jury in her case. In order that she might sign the neces- sary documents the court took a recess, and without reading them. 1t is said, Mrs Maybrick signed. The signature or Baroness won Roques, 1t is said, was se- cured when Sne was III haii-oiaHS" condition because of the accusation against her daughter.
 The suit filed in the chancery court in Richmond by attorneys for Baroness von Roques and Mrs Maybrick is for the purpose of setting aside the conveyance of the property to citizens of that state and for an accounting with her former att orney, Armstrong.
 The state of West Virginia has brought suit against Baroness von Roques and her daughter, Mrs. Maybrick, which would take away their title to valuable coal lands in that state. The suit will have to be tried within short time, as further postponement is almost impos- sible.
 Mrs. Maybrick's attorneys here have been making the greatest possible efforts to secure her release from the English prison in time to appear and testify in the suits and protect her property in

be able to compete with the horses from other cities.
 Education is what the people need ae- cording to the horsemen, and they will readily spend large sums for fine step- pers after they really appreciate what the animals do for a city.
 Birmingham is not without several splendid teams now. The pair whose pie tures are printed here are able to win a prize in any ring in the south and they represent a class of horse which is rapid- ly becoming a more and more frequent sight on the streets. This team is owned by Culpepper Exum. There are other beautiful pairs in the city. but nothing like the number that should be seen on the streets of city the size and having the wealth of Birmingham.y
 Birmingham is not without good judges of horses. There are men here who can judge the merits and faults of a horse of any class. be it saddle animal with the various fancy gaits, or a track horse They are working together to improve the standard of horses in the city, and their efforts are gradually being reward ed. Among these Major Frank Y. Ander- son, who has an eye for fine road horse, or good track animal: w. A. Cheno- weth, who is able to pick the points of any horse in an instant; Culpepper Exum, who is considered a good all round judge of a horse; H. H. Mayberry, who owns one of the prettiest pair of carriage horses in the city and who Is good judge of carriage horses and high step pers; Harry S. Jenkins. who knows all the points of a roadster and heavy harness horse, a jumper or a polo pony William H. Jones, who knows all about horses; M. and Eugene Fies who handle many of the finest horses bought and

 sold in Birmingham; Drs. French and Gibson, who are thoroughly. capable of judging horse of any gait, and J. L. Orr and J. Adam Philips All of these men and others are interested in improv- ing the standard of horse here, and to that end several of them keep up driving club and they intend erecting large number of handsome stables and building a mile track in hopes Of ln- ducing northern horsemen to winter nere with fine strings. Many of the ladies of Birmingham are good whips and mounts. They are also interested in good horses and are lending their aid as far as possible. Several or them can drive pair of spirited horses just as well as the women in the ring at Madison Square Garden in New York and few of the women here are elegant riders.
 The race horses owned in Birmingham are mostly roadsters. There are several runners, ten or twelve trotters and pacers with good marks, and the rest are horses which can step comparatively good mile on the road. Three of the best horses owned here are Billy Buck, which was recently purchased for nearly $S000 and cannot be bought today for less than s45O0 Katie S, which her owners would not sell for $4000; Fred S. Wilkes, one of the best breeding stalions in the country and a rival of some of the largest and richest studs in the United States.
 Several pair of carriage horses being driven around the streets daily cost be- tween $500 and $1000. which Is an increase of from 5000 to $500 over the prices paid five years ago for the best. carriage horses.

pearth of Democratic Governors.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 January is the favorite month in odd numbered years in the northern states for lnaugurating governors of states. A large number have been inaugurated all ready and more remain to be inducted into office. They are the men chosen at last Novembers election to preside over states for terms lasting from one to four years
 It will be noticed however, that this year the number of democratic govern ors inaugurated in northern states is very small. The list comprises only three, in fact The governor of Rhode Island, inaugurated this week, is a democrat, and the governors of Nevada and Ore gon, to be inaugurated in few days are also democrats. But the governors of Oregon and Rhode Island were elected by what are known in politics as "flukes," and are only accidental officials. Both of them have republican legislatures to deal with. This reduces the purely dem ocratic states in the north to Nevada. It is the only northern state with both a democratic legislature and a democratic governor. .4as
 It is doubtful if this situation can be paralleled in the past 25 years Four northern states will have democratic governors this year, but one of them was elected in Montanatin 1900 fotfa four-year term. He would have been defeated had he run last November The democratic party has ais6 lost two governorships in | the south, those of Delaware and West | Virginia hstimated by the number of governors of states it has the democratic party was probably never weaker. It has eighteen governors to the republicans twenty-seven.l f.s

too. went great way to accommodating the crowd
 Six hundred of the college students in new uniforms and carrying the standard state rifles participated in the military drill, which was under the management of a United States army officer from Fort Hamilton. The entire affair had been planned by Brother Fidelis, of the college.
 After the drill the tables were brought and the great euchre games commenced. The players had come in evening dress for the reception and dance which fol- lowed the card playing. The tables were arranged in sections so that there were forty players in each section. A band of music was assigned to every twenty sec tions The dozen bands played in unison under the direction of one leader station- ed on a raised platform at the Fourteenth street end of the armory. The admission fee charged was S1 and it was estimated that at least S1000O had been received.

Why should Birmingham not be the center of the South for high bred horses !? This question was asked a number of To- cal horsemen yesterday and the answer each time was: Because We cannot sell pools and have some fine races"
 This one fact the horsemen state, pre- vents the wintering of hundreds of horses in Birmingham, and also prevents the coming of thousands of dollars that the keeping of large winter stables here would bring to the city. This fact, too, keeps hundreds of people from visiting Birmingham. They go to Memphis. Nash vile and New Orleans instead of coming here.
 And this, 1t Is said is not the only i'll effect of the law against pools If 1t were possible to sell pools Birmingham could have some of the fastest and finest race horses in the country, and these fine ani- mals would be driven about the streets of the city. This would give the visitor to the city a more favorable impression than almost any other one thing. Horse men claim that nothing is better evi- dence of the prosperity of n city than
 
 high bred horses on it's streets.
 In this connection Birmingham shows wonderful degree of prosperity when compared with five years ago, or even three years ago, Then it was q rare thing to see a handsome, well matched team driven to an up-to-date turnout 1 Now there are twenty which rank as first l class carriage teams, and there is to be seen occasionally a race horse which has a name known over the entire national | circuit.
 Nothing advertises a city more than it's fine horses" stated a stable man yester- day. and while Birmingham is increasing in this respect, she has not nearly reached the point she would have if the breeding and owning of fine horses were fostered here as in other cities
 A horse show is another of the badly needed luxuries that Birmingham should have. There is no city of like size and importance in the south which does not have it's annual horse show. and is not a member of the circuit which is attract ing so much attention to Nashville, Mem phis, Atlanta New Orleans and numerous Kentucky cities. Birmingham has never had a horse show and seen hundreds of the prize animals of the states shown in an arena surrounded by the beauty of Jones Valley in stunning gowns,
 It is a sight that inspires men and wom- en. and causes a longing to own a hand some horse, which soon grows until the horse is purchased, and by the next horse show the former onlooker is an exhibitor and Birmingham is advertised and beau tified by the fine animal.
 At present there are probably ten show horses in the city several of which are ribbon winners in large exhibitions in other cities. A man well informed on horse shows said yesterday that if Rir- mingham could get in the circuit and have one large show, that by the next year there would be between fifty and seventy-flve horses which would be in condition for the tan bark ring, and would

 Baroness von Roques, on the marriage of her daughter to James Maybr whom she was tried for poisoning with arsenic, deeded one-third interest in tho I property to her. The land is particular ly valuable, as it consists of coal deposits, | timber and agricultural lands. Because of their inattention to details the titles became somewhat elouded because of non payment of taxes.

NEARLY 5000 PLAYED EUcHRE.
A Game in Brooklyn in Which 1875
 Tables Were Used.

From the New York Sun.
 The largest crowd of euchre players that ever assembled at one sitting, 1t is declared was that gathered Tuesday night in the Fourteenth regiment ar mory on Eighth avenue, Brooklyn. The game followed the reception and military drill given by the students of St. Francis college of Brooklyn. Ten thousand tickets of admission had been issued for the armory, but only 75OO persons were able to play euchre. So great a number could not have played if it had not been for the fact that many furniture dealers of Brooklyn had lent tables.
 There were 1875 of these tables. The use of the regimental company rooms was rendered to the euchre players, and this,
