FLEES THE CRANKS

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Aug. 25.-Mrs. Florence
Maybrick has left New York for the
Catskilis, accompanied by DR.. Emmett
Densmore, at whose summer home,
near Ellenville, N. Y. she is now a
guest. She will remain there indefi-
nitely.
It was not Mrs. Maybrick's intention
to leave New York at once, but so
many persons sent up their cards to
her at the hotel today that she realized
it would be impossible to remain quiet
here.
Before Mrs. Maybrick left the hotel,
the fact of her presence there early
attracted an army Of cranks.
One woman crank, about so years
old, shabbily dressed, stepped up to
the hotel clerk and asked to see Mrs.
Maybrick.
Is What do you want?" asked the
clerk.
II want to see Mrs. Maybrick to. tell
her that the British government has
spies out looking for her"
The clerk told the woman that Mrs.
Maybrick could not be seen and she
went away.
Mr.. Hayden, counsel for Mrs. May
brick, has made a statement relative
to the suit which will shortly be tried,
and by which Mrs. MAVERICK hopes
to receive a portion Of the value OF
immense tracts Of southern coal lands
which were sold during her imprison-
ment. He says he will disclose a gil
gantic conspiracy by which Mrs. May
brick and her mother were induced
to part with their interests in the
property.

RUSTED WHEAT
SHOWS A GAIN
EXPERTS OPINION NOT BORNE
OUT BY LATE DEVELOPMENTS.
Grain Is Filling Well in Manitoba,
Where It Was Predicted Serious
Damage Would F'OllOw-Fields
Near Brandon Said to Have I'M
proved Since Friday. @.-..ssf.-r /,
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal, ~
Winnipeg, Man, Aug. 25.-When H. V.
Jones of Minneapolis was In Brandon last
week he visited the farms Of Henry Mich
OILS and G. A. haywood. At both he
found traces of rust, and ventured the
opinion that by Tuesday Of this week
the rust would have made such progress
that the wheat would be seriously dam
aged.
A. G.. Shelton manager of the Bank of
British North America, and William Alex
ander of the milling firm Of Alexander &
Law, yesterday drove out to these farms
to see the condition Of the crop. Instead
of the wheat being damaged, they found
it was really in healthier condition than
when seen on Friday. The process OF
ripening has gone on rapidly, and in
few days the crop will be as pretty
sample Of No 1 hard as has ever been
grown In Manitoba.
When Mr.. Jones made the statement
that this grain would be seriously dam
aged Mr.. Alexander expressed his willing
ness to buy every bushel, as he was sure
it would all grade The farmers are not
worrying about the effects of the rust.
There Is a great scarcity of farnhands
and railroad laborers. Farmers are will
1ngly paying $45 month, and contractors
are offering $35 month and board.
No Black Rust.
gone thru the west to inspect wheat it is
learned that the stories of black rust were
without foundation. 1t is true that many
instances of red rust have been reported
from Manitoba, but so far no black rust
The grain experts here contend that red
rust Is not an early stage Of the black
rust, which has done so much damage in
the Dakotas 1t appears to be a very
mild form which appeared on the wheat
late and did not affect the kernel which
was in the dough before the disease ap-
peared
In few cases rust has affected late
wheat. The territories have escaped al
most entirely from rust or frost, while
the frost In Manitoba has so far done
no harm. Oats barley and hay are heavy
thru all the northwest.
Canadian Northern Reports.
The general tenor of the weekly cron
report of the Canadian Northern railway
shows that aarmist stories as to tho
damage to the Manitoba crop by rust are
vanishing with the bulls who recently
took charge Of the wheat markets of the
world. The damage done seems to be
slight In this province, and the Canadian
Northern report confirms that issued by
the Canadian Pacific few days ago as
to the yield being good and averaging ur
to twenty bushels an acre.
At Morris the yield Is expected to run
to twenty-five bushels, and from Miami
comes statement that the crop this year

tract of land of $4,000 acres sold to
the Kentucky Union Land company,
$S5, 900 was paid to David w. Arm
strong. The statement then says:
Armstrong represented to the Baroness
Won Roques that various other sales he
had been negotiating had fallen thru, al
tho deeds had been sent from them to
him, executed to Groome, who was repre-
sented as the purchaser for parts of the
land. He also represented to her that
he would get about $4,000 for her title
to the above-named lands, and under her
contract with him he would get $4,000.
and she would get $4,000, he having been
employed in 1878 and 1879 as the attorney
for the Baroness Won RoQues and Mrs.
Maybrick. A copy Of this contract is in
the hands of her attorneys, and a copy
was filed in the suit. e.a
Out. Of the $4,000, $4,000 was paid to
Mrs. Potter, 4 far Baroness, Won !, Roques
and Mrs. Maybrick. Eaesa 4. I
Thousands in Deal.
It has developed within the last year
that in 1888, almost a year prior to the
time that Armstrong was beseeching st.
John Boyle to complete the transaction
in order. that Mrs. Maybrick might have
money properly to conduct her defense,
he had sold to a Mr.. Roberts Of New
York more than 100000 worth of her
property under one Of the deeds to his
dummy" Groome, no mention Of which
san was ever made to Mrs. Maybrick or
the Baroness Won Roques, nor was any
part of the purchase money ever paid to
her.
While they do rot wish to try their case
out Of court, If Mrs. Maybrick had no in
terest in this land, why should a deed
from her and her children be necessary?
The fact is, Mrs. Maybrick, under the
will of her grandfather, Darius Holbrook,
was an owner Of a reversionary interest In
the same, and, Furthermore, at the time
Of her marriage, the Baroness Won Roques
had decided her one third interest in the
same.
Other grave charges against the
methods employed by Armstrong are
contained in the statement.
Mrs. Maybrick will remain in the
Catskills until her eyesight and nerv-
Gus system have improved, when she
will go south and begin her battle for
complete vindication, the recovery Of
her fortune and her two children.
