PRISON GATES OPEN.

King Edward Grants Pardon to , Mrs. Maybrick.

Takes This Method of Emphasizing His Regard for America—Brief - History of the Celebrated International Case,

London, Feb. 11.—At ten o’clock this morning the gates of Aylesbury prison will swing open and Mrs. Florence Elizabeth Maybrick, the American woman whose case has stirred two continents for years, will walk cut a free woman. The news that King Edward VII. had granted the appeals made by those who have been stanch friends of this woman during her long trial and her term of penal servitude became noised about Sunday night—too late. however, for the glad tidings to get much beyond her cirele of friends. The greatest praise is-heard upon all sides for the graceful act of King Edward. Tt is understood that in thus granting clemency to. Mrs. Maybrick the king wishes to emphasize the character of his regard for America, and in the judgment of most Americans he could not better inaugurate his reign than with this striking example of mercy. Many of Mrs. Maybrick’s friends and admirers will be at Aylesbury prison at the morning hour when her release is expected to welcome her again into the air and sunshine of freedom. What her plans for the future may be are not known now, but it is believed she will start ‘for America at once. Although official red tape may delay for a time the release of Mrs. Maybrick, the woman’s friends are confident she will be freed from the prison life which she has led for 12 years this morning. It is said upon reliable authority that King Edward will not grant the pardon directly—that is, as a personal action—but it will be issued through the home office. !

From the time Justice Stephen condemned her to death and the mob upon the streets hissed and hcoted the judge and jury and the monster petition from the people forced from the home secretary a commutation of her sentence., Mrs. Maybrick's English sympathizers have kept up their efforts to secure her release. : Story of Maybrick’s Death,

In 1879 Miss Florence Elizabeth Chandler, the daughter of William G. Chandler, a prominent banker of Mobile, Ala., was married to James Maybrick. Mrs. Maybrick was 17 and Mr. Maybrick was 42, a dissipated, well-to-do Englishman. They had met on an England-bound Atlantic liner. Mr. and Mrs. Maybrick lived in Liverpool, where their two children were born. It was brought out in the evidence at the trial that Mr. Maybrick was a confirmed arsenic eater. The two became alienated, and Mrs. Maybrick had taken steps toward procuring a divorce. One day Mr. Maybrick rode to the Wirral races. He went against the advice of his physician and his wife, was caught in the rain and drenched, yvet staid out for lunch and a late dinner. The indiscretion brought on a high fever, and the next day physicians pronounced the illness fatal.' It happened toward the end of his sickness that Mr. Maybrick asked, during the nurse’s absence, for some white powders which he kept in his dressing-room. These were procured by Mrs. Maybrick and under his directien one powder was mixed with some beef extract. When the dose was prepared Mr. Maybrick had fallen asleep and Mrs. Maybrick set it aside, not knowing what it was. It was found where she had left it by the police and was recognized by her in court. After a 13-days’ illness Mr. Maybrick died. Accused of Murder.

The moment Mr. Maybrick died his brothers—Kdwin and Michael—stepped forward as her accusers. The case was a long one, yet each detail was followed with interest by the people of two nations. Sir Charles Russell presented a masterful defense, but the court was overwhelmed with arsenic bottles and the possible divorce proceeding. The jury was out 36 minutes and returned a verdict to convict.” The death sentence was read, and although the indignant spectators mobbed the court and threatened the judge’s life the prisoner was carried off to await her death. There is no court of criminal appeal in England, and the only hope- of Her friends was through a pardon from the crown. A petition of 500,000 names was socn in readiness, which was presented te Home Secretary Matthews with the request that he review the case. The request was granted, and at its close .Mr. Matthews announced that the evidence did not wholly exclude doubt whether death was caused by the administration of arsenic. The sentence was thereupon commuted to life imprisonment. Sl . Death of Gen. Ruggles. . Havana, 111., Feb. 11.—Gen. James M. Ruggles died at the Hopping sanitarium here Saturday morning. He was a veteran of the civil war and prowminent in republican politics. Alone ke drafted the first platform on which the republican party in Ilinois was founded. He was a member of the lower house during the Lincoln-Trum-bull contest for the United States senatorship and was carried to the senate chamber on a sick bed to cast his vote for Lineoln. At the beginning of the civil war he was appointed by Gov. Yates as quartermaster in the First Illinois volunteer cavalry. : . Pingree Goes Abroad. Detroit, Mich, Feb., 11— Ex-Gov. Hazen S. Pingree left Sunday afternoon over the Michigan Central railroad for New York, on his way to England. He will sail from New York Tuesday on the steamer Cymric. Hazen 8.

SEVERE FIGHTING.

British Detachment Put to RouteEngagement in Which Boer Troops Are Repulsed.

East London, Cape Colony, Feb. 9.— Details have been received here of severe fighting at Tabaksberg mountain. 4% miles east of the railway and about midway between Small Deel and Rlecemfontein. Maj. Crewe, with a composite column traveling southwest, gighted the mountein on the morning of January 31. He heard heavy firing and, knowing that Col. Pilcher’s column was on the other side of the mountain, he concluded that this officer was in action. Consequently he hurried forward, only to meet Boers streaming down and evidently retiring from Ceol. Pilcher’s lyddite shells. Immediately Maj. Crewe brought three 15-pounders and a “pompon” to bear on the Boers, who, however, were found to be so numerpus that it was impossible to head them. Orders were given to return to camp, abeut two miles from the mountain. The column rested until fourin the afternoon, when the march was resumed southwest.

Maj. Crewe was just touching the southern point of the mountain whena terrific rifle fire openéd from a large force of Boers who were in ambuscatle on the mountain. The fight soon. became general. The Boersoutnumbered the Dritish five to one, and were attacking them on both flanks and the rear. The British “pompom” jammed and became useless. Maj. Crewe grasped the situation, and by a brilliant move got the convoy into a safe position. Between seven and eight in the evening the Boers charged the position and turned both flanks. The British ammunition became exhausted,and Maj. Crewe was obliged to retire and abandon the pompom after the advance party had endeavored to save it and had sustained severe losses. L

A rear guard action was fought by Maj. Crewe into the camp, where the wagons had been laagered. Ile persona.ly superintended the retirement, the Boers harassing him throughout. Entrenchments were thrown up during the night. When morning came Maj. Crewe started to join Gen. Knox, 12 miles southwest. The Boers immediately reattacked him, compelling him to fight a second rear guard action for a few miles. Gen. De Wet personally commanded the Boers, estimated at 2.500. Maj. Crewe’s fcrce was only 700. Eventually the British officer joined Gen. Knox and returned to Bloemfontein. Lord Kitchener has highly complimented Maj. Crewe upon the achievement.

London;, Feb. 11.—The war office has received ‘the following dispatch from Lord Xitchener, the commander in chief in South Africa: : “Pretoria, Feb. 9..—The columns working eastward occupied Ermelo February 6 with slight opposition. A large force of Boers, estimated at 7,000, under Louis Botha, retired eastward. About 300 wagons with families passed through Ermelo on the way to Amsterdam, and very large quantities of stock are being driven east. A peace delegate under sentence of death and other Boer prisoners were taken away by the Boers. All the reports show that the Boers are exceedingly bitter. Fifty Boers surrendered.

““fLouis Botha, with 2,000 men, attacked Gen. Smith-Dorrien at Orange camp, Bothwell, at three a. m. February 6. He was repulsed after severe fighting. Gen. Spruit was killed, Gen. Randemeyor was severely wounded, two_field cornets were killed, 20 of the BoersPwere left dead in our hands and many severely wounded. Our casualties were 24 killed and 53 svounded.

“Our movement to the east is reported to ‘have thoroughly upset all the enemy’s calculations and created a regular panic in the district.

“Christian De Wet appears to be crossing the line south of Jagersfontein roacé to the west this morning, having failed to effecet a ¢rossing by the drifts east of Bethulie. ‘“‘ln Cape Colony, Calvinia has been occupied by Col. De Lisle, who entered Fekruary 6, the enemy retiring toward Kencommandoes northward past Aberdeen.”’ hardt. Col. Haig is driving the Midland London, Feb. 11.—Lord Raglan, under secretary .of state for war, informed the correspondent Sunday that Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood is not going to South ‘Africa, and that no peace commission is contemplated. “The report as to a peace commission is false from beginning to end,” he said. “The policy of the government is the very opposite of what would prompt such a step. Troops,not peace commissioners,are going to South Africa.”

FATAL FLAMES. Dwelling in Boston Burns and Three . Persons Lose Their Lives— Five Others Injured. : Boston, Feb. 11.—Two persons dead, five others badly injured and a financial loss of $2,500 is the summary of damage caused by a fire that occurred in a fourstory brick dwelling on Harrison avenue early Suncday morning.

It may be that the nose and throat is the oftenest affected by catarrh, but if thisissoitis, so cnly because these parts are more exposed to the vicissitudes of the climate than the other parts of the body.
