coke cars from the Standard Car Company

settlers of Fayette county and was the

Alleged Reason for Not Granting Full
Pardon to Mrs. Maybrick.

Pardon to Mrs. Maybrick.
Special. Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va. May 13.-Mrs. Flor
ence E. Maybrick is in the city, accom-
panied by her mother, the Baroness Won
Roques. Mrs. Maybrick is known to many
people in this city. but she is staying very
quietly at her hotel, denying herself to
newspaper men and all others.
Mrs. Maybrick will never get COM
plete and full pardon from the English gov
eminent" said gentleman who is familiar
with all the details of her story and the
suits which account for her presence in this
city. Whatever may be the Judgment Of
the court circles regarding the case, it is
settled that she will ever be paroled pris-
oner. One of the reasons for this--and l
believe 1t the main reason-is that a full
pardon would upset guardianship in Eng
land and would result in that lady de-
handing the portion of the property of her
husband she is entitled to. She will not
be allowed to go into the courts SO long
as she is a paroed prisoner, and it is not
likely that she will do anything to again
incur the displeasure of the powers which
once had her in their grasp. She rarely
refers to the experience in. the prison, 1t
being her desire to forget that miserable
period in her life"
Mrs. Maybrick is to go to Norfolk soon
as the dispositions in the suit here have
been finished. That is her old home and
she still has many friends there.

NORFOLK, Va, May 13.-There have
been no special features in the democratic
state campaign in this section of Virginia

ton seems to have won completely out.

For City Officers.
The local primary-for city officers-is to
be held June 20, and the contest for Office
is being hard fought. There are eight can
didates for the position of attorney for the
commonwealth, three for city sergeant,
two for city collector, two for auditor and
only one for the other places to be filled.
Judge David c. Richardson is the attor-
ney for the commonwealth, and his decli-
nation to stand for the Office is responsible
for the numerous crop of aspirants.
One of the most interesting fights in the
state is that for the position of superin-
tendent of schools. There are three can
didates for the Office, the more prominent
of whom is Joseph d. Eggleston jr., of
Prince Edward, the man who has created
talk from one end of the state to the other
by his criticism of the management of the
department of public instruction, alleging
incompetence, to say the least, in the con-
duct of that office He says the state is
being made to pay more than double the
value of certain articles used in the
schools, and he gives figures to support his
contention. The charges are to be inves-
tigated by the state board of education

notice that he will demand an open meet
