COUNCIL DECLINES TO
SUSPEND LICENSE TAX.
HEARTILY FAVORS FUNDING THE IN
TEREST BEARING DEBT.

iENESl OI-o2s
Highly Probable That Levy Could Be Re-
duced to Four Mills Should Debt Be
Funded At Once.
Citv council met on Monday
night and acted on the recommen-
dations of the recent meeting OF
citizens as embodied in the COM
munication adopted by citizens aud
forwarded to council. This com
municatior has been published.
AS will be seen from the reply to
the communication printed below,
council declines to suspend the
license tax for the period OF twelve
months, as recommended by cltl-
zens, but is heartily in favor OF
funding the interest bearing debt OF
the town and thinks that the pro-
posed reduction of the o-mlil levy
to four mills might be made should
the debt be funded at once. Other
wise, council thinks it would be
impossible, consistent with the
best interests Of the town, to make
any reduction in the present 6-mlll
levy.
There was full meeting of coun-
Gil, Mayor Earnardt presiding. The
recommendations of citizens were
received and fully and freely dis,
,cussed. The action taken as stated
above is embodied in the following
communication to the chairman OF
the citizens meeting from Acting
Mayor Van Smith:
REPLY OF COUNCIL.
Newberry, S. c., February 2.
Dr.. George B Cromer, Chairman
Citizens Meeting, Newberry'
S. c.:
Dear Sir: Replying to your COM
:mrnication of January 5oth, and
also to that of your committee, in
reference to funding the interest
bearing debt Of the town OF New
berry, we will say that COUNCIL
heartily concurs in the views as ex-
pressed in Section I of your CON-
munication, and should the proper
petitions be presented, council will
gladly respond to the prayers OF
same in accordance with said recon-
mendat1on.
Replying furt<.er, would respect
fully say that under the existing
financial condition Of the town,
council cannot concur in the second
recommendation of your committee,
i.e., to suspend license ordinance.
1t will be impossible consistent
with the best interests OF the town
to make any reduction in the pres
ent omill levy, but with the inter-
est-bearing debt funded at once and
provided for by special levy and
with the income to be derived from
the recently enacted license ordl-
dance We think it highly probable
that the suggested reduction OF two
mills would be practicable.
Rest assured that any measure
looking to reduction of taxation
will have our due consideration,
and if such reduction can be made,
consistent with the best interests
and advancement of our town, It
will be done.
Respectfully,
Van Smith,
Acting Mayor.

Denver. January 31.-The reception

oped into boom for building FOR
the Young Mems Christian Association.
1t was the launching of movement
that bids fair to result in building Tor
the local branch.
Rev. Robert F. Coyle of Central
Presbyterian Church announced that
he had pledges of $4,000 from friend
whose name he could not divulge, and
President w. Z. Sweet reported that
the board of directors have pledged
s11, 900. and pledges from other sources
amount, to $500. making total
pledged of $2S.500. President Sweet
ventured the opinion that the 100000
the minimum sum required for the
erection of the contemplated building
can be secured, and said that the $11.-
900 pledged by the directors represents
but one-half of what the board will
subscribe. if the support Of the citizens
of Denver is secured.

The American marines and blue-jack-
cts who accompanied the expedition

Consul Skinner and the other mem
bers of the party are in good health
and they speak enthusiastically of the
reception accorded them by King Men

ty saw one elephant and a number of
lions. but experienced no exciting ad-
ventures.
During the visit of the Skinner party
at the capital. King Menelik received
them. surrounded by an imposing as
semblage of 1000 functionaries. The
escort of American marines established
a camp called Camp Roosevelt. which

The Americans were impressed with
the assimilative ability of the
Abyssinians. Consul Skinner says
that the country is being rapidly mod

lines are being constructed. He con-
siders the Abyssinians the japanese

He points out. however. that the
postal and banking systems are defect

lieves that Americans will find a large
field for activity in the gold. coal. pc

Victor, Colo. Jan. 31.-The coroner's
Jury in the mine disaster inquest yes
terday returned the following verdict:
I'VE, the jury. find that the deceased,
lying there dead, came to their end in
the Stratton's Independence, Limited,
mine, on Tuesday morning, January
26th, through Frank T. Gillice's losing
control of the engine, there in use, and
pulling the cage into the sheave wheel
thereby parting the cable and precipl-
tating the cage, loaded with the above
named men. down the shaft to their
death. And we further find. If the man
agement had not neglected the usual
precautions. the said casualty might
have been reduced, If not avoided.
"The uslal precautions that were not
taken are as follows:
First, no man is required to preside
at the collar of the shaft while hosting
men.
Second. no safety device was in use
on the cables to prevent the overwind-
ing of the. same.
Third. men were loaded and unload
ed without placing the cage on chairs.
Fourth, the disc brakes on the hoist
ing engine were detached from their
usual position and therefore useless.
we, tne Jury. WOulu ietohihchu
that all safety appliances and precau-
tions herein named and recommended
be adopted and used. not only by the
Stratton's Independence mine. but by
all mines in this district not now using
the same, thereby reducing to mini
mum the danger to life ana limb that
men working in mines are subjected TO
I'VE further recommend that COM
petent extra man should stand near the
engineer while he is hoisting or lower
ing men. whose duty should be TO rem
der any assistance needed.
The coroner and members of the jury
were very indignant aver the reputed
statement of the mine commissioner
published in the Cripple Creek Times
and Denver papers. A subpoena was
Immediately issued for Commissioner
Lyman White and he was Informed
that the statement was gross insult
to the jurors and that they proposed

IL he did not do so. Large reinforce

Meantime the British are pushing the
work of road making through a gorge
north of Lingmathang. which is sald
to be more difficult to traverse ana

MRS. r1AYBRICk is
NOW AT LIBERTY

London. Jan 31.-Lloyd's Weekly
Newspaper says this morning that Mrs.
Florence Maybrick. the American
woman who was serving q life SEN
tence for having poisoned her husband
was released from Aylesbury female
convict prison at 6:45 O'Clock on the
morning of January 25th on special Ii
cense. Her mother, the paper says,
had visited her Saturday. January I'D,
and evidently was the bearer OF I'M
portant news. On the 25th Mrs. May
brick, accompanied by one of the pris-
on matrons, entered a closed carriage
and drove to Aylesbury station. where
she took a train for London. She drove
from Euston station and from there
went to a private house not far from
the metropolis. She will remain there
for a short period in order to recuper-
ate and to await the completion OF GER
tain formalities which will give her a
freedom of movement not allowed per-
sons on ordinary ticket-of-leave.
Mrs. Maybrick. the paper concludes,
during the last few months in prison.
was employed in the lightest work, as
reward for good conduct.
Mrs. Maybrick's case has been one OF
international interest. The daughter
on a banker of Mobile. Alabama. she
was educated in France and Germany
and married at the age of seventeen
to James Maybrick. a rich London cot
ton broker. She lived with him nine
wears and had two children. In 1889
they had several quarrels and May
brick objected to the fact that she at
tended the races with Albert Brierly.
who was staying at the same hotel
~with them. Maybrick. who was addict
yed to the use of arsenic to quiet his
nerves, died after an illness OF two
weeks with symptoms of arsenical
poisoning. Poison was later found IN
Mrs. Maybrick's room. She was ac-
cused of murder. tried, convicted and
sentenced to death. which sentence was
afterward commuted to Imprisonment
for life She has been in prison since
1889, although great efforts have been
made in America and in England 10
secure her release or a new trial.
Her present liberation is attributed
to the good offices of Sir Thomas Lip
ton. who is said to have made per
sonal appeal to King Edward.
