Coble Special lo TUB BEH.I Two days
of fixed attention , through long hours of In
tense anxiety and the scorching atmospheric
heat , have not been without tholr effect upon
nil concerned in the Maybrlck trial. A gen
eral judcd nlr wan apparent when the court
eat again at the usual hour this morning. The
exporlencos of the last few days have told
heavily upon the prisoner , who , nn she wearily
ascended the steps of the dock tills morning ,
was observed to bo extremely polo. Her
female warder , who hitherto sat at some dls-
tnnco outsldo of the dock , this morning drew
her chair nearer to the prisoner , ns though to
bo In readiness should her assistance bo re
quired by the unhappy woman. Tho'court
* wns crowded , many fashionably dressed
women being present.
It woo noticeable that opor\ilassos.whloh
on the first two days of the trial wcro some
what disagreeably prominent , were conspic
uously nbsont. „
The first Incident to excite animated inter
est was the rather startling admission of
Richard Humphrey , the family medical man ,
who attended the deceased throughout his
last Illness , and with whoso cross-oxamtna-
- tlon by Sir Charles Russell , the
day's proceedings began , that the
deceased died on Wednesday , May 8. Ho
would have boon prepared tq give a cer
tificate to the effect that death , which was
caused by acute congestion of tlio stomach ,
was cither gastritis or gastromcnlcritis.
The toslimony given by Dr. Carter was
nlso Important. Carter Is a physician of high
standing In Liverpool. Ho declared without
hesitation that the cause of death was
nrscnlcal poison , nnd no effort of Sir Charles
Russcllcould _ induce him to admit that death
nnd the subsequent appearance of the body
could bo duo to any Uss cause of internal
disturbance.
Soon after noon the prisoner began to
show sign's that the severe trial she was un
dergoing wus producing symptoms of ex
haustion. A , glass of water , however , served
to revive her , und sbosubsequently appeared
to take more interest in the proceedings.
Dr. Carlor's emphatic assurance that the
cause of death was by arsenical poisoning
and nothing else , evidently produced u great
impression upon nil In court , nnd
it was noticeable that Sir Charles
Russell treated this witness with more than
ordinary consideration , and did not attempt
to challenge his dictum otherwise than by
suggesting that acute inflammation might
have boon caused by Impure food.
What may bo termed tbo sensation of the
day was rcsorvod for an analyst , Edward
Davles , to contribute. Davlos produced o
lady's dressing gown and apron , said to be
long to Mrs. Mnybrlck , aud to have boon
found In her dressing room Upon it were
stains which Davlos unhesitatingly pro
nounced to bo arsenical , and ho stated thai
nil tbo pockets were similarly stained.
This piece of evidence , which was com
pletely now , served to directly connect the
prisoner In a personal manner with the use
of arsonlo In some form , and created intense
excitement in court. It was noticed that beyond -
yond a slight twitching of the hands the
prisoner betrayed no perceptible emotion at
the revelation. Amongst the various arti
cles In which Davlos staled lhat. ho discov
ered arsenic were the moat juice handed to
him by Dr. Carter ; u lady's hand
kerchief , throe bottled , one almost
full of arsenic , found In a chocolate
box ; a glass containing a handkerchief
soaked In milk , in which was altogether up
wards of 450 grains of arsenic : n sealed
packet labelled "poison for cals , ' which con
tained arsenic , stained with a percentage of
charcoal , nnd similar to that in the"bottles ,
A jug which had contained food was taken
to the ofllco , and n bottle containing glycerine
wa's foun'd in tu'o lavatory. Ho had also
found arsonlo In some deposits from the
lavatory drain and sinks. Davles said lu
found arsenic In the liver and intestines , but
not In the stomach or spleen , Passing to some
fly papers , which had been supplied to him
nnd which wcro of the sumo kind as those
already referred to as bolng found lu the
waoliRtnnds , ho said they contained between
two and thrco grains of of ursonlc , each In
tnu form of nrsonlto o'f potassium and ur-
Bonious acid. In the kidney ho found about
a hundredth part of n grain of arsonlu , nnd
in the liver the equivalent of one-eighth of a
grain , at least , probably more. He could de
tect no nrsoulo In the pelvis nor lu the lunge
and heart.
In cross-examination Sir Charles Russell
took the witness carefully through the re
Bulls of his various analysts , nnd in the
courfto of the orocoodings Davlos produced
the tubes containing the preparations from
the viscera , in which the arsenic was visible ,
in the form of mlcroscoplc'crystals , adhering
Ilka film to tho'sldes of the tubes. .
The case looks black for Mrs. Maybrlck.

Dr. Hrown-Soquard's now "elixir of eternal

BouiotL-'ng In it. All ( ho other loading met

WASHINGTON. D. C. . Autrust 2.
Senator Pnddock arrived In Washington
late last night nnd has been busy all day
with the president nnd at the departments.
Ho had n long Interview this morning with
the president , nnd It Is not unlikely the re
sult of It will bo the selection nt nn early day
of a Nebraskan to occupy n prominent ofllco
In Washington. During the course of lilt
tntk with the executive the latter expressed
n dcslro to receive a call from Judge Groff ,
of Omaha , nnd accordingly Senator Paddock
to-day telegraphed to Judge Graft , inviting
him to visit the capital immediately , Just
what the president desires to say to him the
senator declines to say. If ho knows , but the
presumption is that ho docs.

eration of the decision of General Scovillo

thorized by lellor to ullow the troops to bo

with the regular army encampments pro
vided for nt Fort Robinson and at several
points in the state of Iowa , the presumption
being at the department that General Brooke
would arrange the mailer satisfactorily.

days in the interest of the American National
bank , loft for homo this evening with the
papers in his pocket which authorize the

ted by the American Loan nnd Trust com
pany until the comptroller of the currency

business. They had their checks ,
drafts and letterheads engraved and

result was that the comolroller at last de
cided to issue Iho charter to'lho American
National bank , and it is authorized to
begin business with a capital of $200,000.
Mr. McCaguo said lo Tim BEE correspondent

_
Russia's Vast Wheat Area.
WASHINGTON , August 3. The state do-
partmcnt is in receipt of an exhaustive re
port upon Russian agriculture and the cereal
trade , from United States Consul General
"
Way at St. Petersburg. Ho says the exports -
ports of cereals from Russia In the past two
years show abnormal Increases , duo to three
causes. First , the enormous crops gathered
from both the black lands and the urnblo
prairies ; second , the doprcclation in rubles ,
and third , the foolish systoui of whnat "cor
ners" practiced In Iho Untied Slales. The
arable lands of Russia In Eurouo , Mr. Way
says , excluding Poland , cover an area of
450,500 square miles. The wheat grower of
Kansas aud Dakota will sco at a glance the
area of that fertile territory , which , with the
cheap labor of Russia , will always prove to bo
a formidable rival , and merchants of Chicago
and New York who Imagine by cornering
wheat that they will control the markets of
the world can always take into their calcula
tions the product of this country us an effect
ual check to their operations. Every corner
engineered In the United States makes an op
portunity for Russia. Not ono dollar Is
added to the import wealth in America , but
the exports from our country being stopped
Russia slops In and gels rid of her uurplus at
remunerative prices , but still far below the
prohibitive values established In Chicago
and Now York. As long ns Russian wheat
oxlsts , any attempt to force the western nn-
tlops of Europe to pay artificial prices for
American grain can but tcsult in absolute
failure. Perhaps if this fact wcro known
corners would become raround infrequent.

TUB CONVENTIONS.
A Heated Debate ( it Helena A Ques
tion of .liidlclary ntsioux Fnlls.
Sioux FALLS , S. D. , August 2. In the
convention to-day the consideration of the
report of the schedule committee was re
sumed. Iho schedule ns reported provides
for the election of stale officers in October
next , whoso term of ofllco will not expire
until January , 1S02. The county officers nro
to bo elected in November , 1S90 , nnd every
two years thereafter. By this arrangement
Sonth Dakota will have n general election
every yoar. Stops wore taken in committee
to avoid this , but 4 It was decided
that the convention * had no power
to elect state officers In October next
whoso terms of ofllco should expire
before the time prescribed In the constitu
tion. When the section covering this point
was reached to-dny an amend men t was
offered to rnnko the terms expire In 1801.
After a lengthy debate It was defeated nnd a
question ns lo the power of the convention
under the omnibus bill arose. The point In
dcnputo was ns to whether the election In
Oclobar Is to bo under the constitution or
simply nn election provided by the enabling
net until the state Is admitted. 'Iho matter
was debuted pro and con , but no decision was
reached.
The greater part of the afternoon session
was occupied by Senators Stewart , of
Nevada , and Reagan , of Texas , In gathering
Information on the question of irrigation ,
At Ulsiunrck.
BisMAitcK , N. D. , August 2. The county
court question Is still before the convention ,
but it is expected it will bo decided to-mor
row. Several propositions have been offered.
The principal light to-day was over the
proposition to give every organized county n
representative In the legislature. This was
opposed by many as giving the sparsely set
tled western portion bf the territory morn
power In the legislature ) than it. Is entitled
to. The western men' were defeated. The
convention decided upon having the mem
bers of the house of representatives elected
nt largo from the senatorial districts. An
attempt by Allen , of Walsh county , to reduce -
duce the salary of the governor to 52,600 nnd
lieutenant governor to $600 was defeated.
A Heated Debate at Helena.
HELENA , Mont. , August 2. The conven
tion to-day considered tbo'nmenumcnl to Iho
bill on miscellaneous subjects. The section
was passed prohibiting legislators , members
of the judiciary and boards of equalization
from accepting passes , on railroads , under
the penalty of Uro forfe'llure of Iheir ofllco
and emoluments , in the afternoon the leg
islative department bill ) vas taken up and
numerous amendments wqro considered. The
proportion for the npporttonmcnt'of the stale
into senatorial districts } ono for each county ,
brought out n heated Iparty debate , the re
publicans and dcmocral ' 4iccuslngcacholhor
of party divisions. Tlio ( convention finally
adjourned without taking ) a vote.

article on corporations requiring foreign cor

Ihis afternoon by a largo vote. Another sec
tion , providing for nn elective board of rail
way commissioners , who shall have absolute
control over ull transportation companies ,
was the subject of un animated debate , and
It appears likely it will t bo defeated , as peti
tions from many boards ot trade nnd city
councils uro pourinirinbgalust it. A number
of sections of the article on corporations was
adoolcd. The s tat a is forbidden to loan its
credit or own any carpprato slook. The sec-
lion on banking IB said lo bo almost an exact
counterpart of tho'fedoral law upon Iho sub
ject. In lhat part on railroads n section was
adopted practically the same as the inter
state long and s nort haul clauses.

queen received Emporpr William on the tcr-
race and kissed him on both cheeks. Cowes

the effect was splendid.

KANSAS CITT , Mo. , August 2. ( Special
Telegram to TUB BEK. | A diamond robbery
which for -darlnp and successful execution
1ms had few equals , was perpetrated nt 3:15
o'clock this afternoon on the principal busi
ness street of this city.
At that hour n young man entered the
jewelry store of F. Q. Altman , nt TM Main
street , and asked to sco some diamond car
rings.
Ho was waited upon by Miss Lou Altman.
Her brother , the proprietor of the store , was
showing sotno watches to another customer.
The young man was nervous , and his man
ner aroused Miss Altman's suspicions. At
the first opportunity she shot a significant
glance nt her brother , who Immediately loft
Ins customer and started towards his sister.
Before ho had i cached the case nt which she
stood the young man grabbed a hand full of
jewels and bolted for the door. Ho had se
cured llvo pairs of oar rings valued at $2,000.
The thief had not readied the front door
of the store before Mr. Altman
was In hot pursuit. Once on
the street ho turned south and running to n
horse that stood hitched to n post around the
corner , about twenty yards distant , broke
his fastenings and vaulted upon his back.
Hardly had ho landed in the saddle , how
ever , before Mr. Altman clutched him by
the collar and dragged him to the ground.
Springing to his feet , the thief jerked a re
volver from his pocket and struck the jew
eler over the head. Then breaking from
Altman's grasp ho ran across EUhtli street
aud jumped into an open urea way. Others
hero joined In the chase , but only one ,
M. II. Hurt , n young restaurateur ,
had ncrvo enough to approach him.
Finding no egress from his temporary
hiding place , the thief climbed out , and run
ning to the alloy between Main und Walnut
streets , dashed north to Seventh , then west
a block and a half to Delaware , then south
two or three doors to a boor saloon. This
place was crowded with men , but pistol in
hand , the desperate man , with Messrs. Hurt
and Altman In pursuit , rushed through to the
rear und into a water closet. . His pursuers
were not twenty feet behind , and slumming
the door of the closet shut , they attempted to
hold him iu the box. The tlnof had evidently
hoped for a means of escape , but finding
none braced his feet against the wall and
forced the door open. Altman Immediately
grappled with him , and ft desperate
struggle , in which the thlof proved
the better rnau , ensued. Placing his re
volver against the jeweler's ' breast he throw
him off and began backing toward a rear
door. Ono hundred men wcraulosintrnrouud
him by this time , but with a fuco that looked
more like a wild animal's than that of a
human being ho biased :
"I'll kill the llrst man who comes a step
nearer. "
The tables and chairs were overturned by
the mob in nn effort to ( rot out of harm's
way. In the rear of the saloon it a little
court , "probnoly ten fnet wide. Asldo from
the saloon this court has un outlet leading
through an Iron door into the cellar of H. H.
Shcpard's wall paper and bookstpro. Back-
lug out or the saloon the thief sprung
across this court , jerked open the iron doors
and disappeared. The crowd following
thought him now securely caged and banged
the doors together and twenty mon throw
their weight against them. The thief was not
caged , however. Mountine the cellar steps
he emerged In the rear of Shopard's store ,
and revolver in hand , passed within two feet
of the bookkeeper , George D. Hunyan , and
George Oluoy. n traveling man , und walked
to the front of the store. There ho put his
pistol in his pocket and stepped out on the
street. Walking rapidly north u hulf block
ho then hailed a hack driven by
one John 13opgs , and remarking
that ho was In a hurry , entered it , nnd was
driven on a gallop west on Missouri avenue.
At Fourth and Broadway ho alighted from
the hack and disappeared. His whereabouts
is a mystery that is puzzling the entire police
und detective force of Kansas City.
The alT.iir , occurring as it did In broad
daylight and nt a spot where a thousand
pcoplo pass every hour , created intense ex
citement , and that the man should have es
caped Is regarded as little less than a mira
cle. Ho is described as a man aged proba
bly twenty-five years , of medium height ,
with light hair and u short light mustache ,
of rcspectablo nppearanco and wearing dark
clothes.
In his first struggle with Altman the thief
lost his bat , but ho snatched ono from the
head of the frightened bystanders in the beer
saloon and got away with It. The horse ho
intended to ride was hired an hour previous
from Eugene Cm-lot's livery Etables.
VA similar robbery occurred In this city
about two years upo , when nt # o'clock in the
evening William Harding , a desperate crimi
nal , entered the jewelry store of S. S. Baker ,
ut 551 Mam street , nnd attempted to
seize a tray of diamonds. Ho was
seized by Mr. Baker , and in the
struggle that ensued Harding fired three or
four shots from a pistol. Nona took olTcct ,
but Harding escaped to tno street. Thcro , a
carpenter attempted to stop him nnd was
shot through the head , the ball entering his
mouth. For days the chances were ten to
one that ho would die , but ho finally recov
ered. Harding was arrested In Denver und
Is now serving a twelve years' sentence in
the Joftorson City penitentiary.

The Alton WanlHto Purchase It From
the Union Pnolllc.
Cmcuno , Augusts. A morning paper has
nn article which slate * that negotiations nro
sold to bo now pending for the purchase of
the Kansas City branch of the Union Pucltlo
from Kansni City to Denver. This would
give the Alton through connection from
Kansas City to Cheyenne on the Union Pa
cific. Thu Union Pacific , by this nrraiiRO-
mont. would got the buMnoss of the Alton.
Should the sale bo mndo to the Alton It will
bo n severe blow to the Inter State Com
merce Hallway association , and will hasten
its demise.
At the office of the Chicago & Alton road
to-day the truth of the published stateiupnt
was positively denied. It was assorted to
day thin no negotiations to that end are in
pi ogress.
On the other hand , General Manager
Chappollo Is said to bo authority for the
statement that n deal of the character men
tioned is under negotiation.

Another Itnllroud Humor.
CIUCACIO , August a The Journal will say
this afternoon that the manager of the AtchIson -
Ison , Topokn & Santa Fo railroad to-day
sent a note to Chairman Mldgoly , of tlio
Western Freight association , notifying him
that the Santa Fo Is preparing n now sched
ule for freight between Chicago nnd Kansas
City , nnd that hcroaftor It will refuse to di
vide business between thcso points with any
of the Chicago-Kansas City roads. This , If
persisted In , must result In the disruption of
the association.
The Atchlson road , If It carries out Its
tin oat , will cut off not only the Alton , but
the St. Paul and Wab.ish roads , from nil par
ticipation in its business originating west of
Kansas City , oxqopt It is taken after paying
the full local rates to Kansas City , thereby
lowering the former Kansas City-Chicago
proportion. It Is the exact duplicate of the
stand taken by the Hock Island rond.
Speaking of the matter to-day General Man
ager Chuppoll , of the Alton road , said : "Tho
Alton joined the Western Frelcht association
under the stipulation thai It should share In
Kansas City on all business originating xvcst
of there. This stipulation was made espe
cially in reference to business coming In on
the Atchison , ns it did Ihe bulk of the busi
ness. The stipulation applied only as'a gen
eral principle lo the Hock Island , as ut the
time of our joining the nssooiation it did
little business west of Kansas City. Owing
to this stipulation the Issuance of the threat
ened tariff by the Atchlson practically Covers
our connection with the association. Wo
shall certainly withdraw as soon us the tariff
Is Issued. "

Yankee Naval Kffects MayBe Swept
From the Sens.
OirAWA , Oiit. , August 2. The Clti/cn , the
organ of the government here , which has
hitherto been silent on tlio Bolirlng sa-i
question , to-day says in its editorial column ;
"If the present government at Washington
falls to bring about serious complications be
tween the imperial government and the
United States It will not bo because no effort
has been put forth to produce so undesirable
a result. The trulh U that statesmen of the
calibre of Wobslor nnd Clay do not reach
maturity in the southern portion of this con
tinent any more. Peddling politicians , seoit-
ors after notorioly , professors of brag and
duplicity appear to have monopoll/od all the
places of importance nnd are now intent
upon forcing issues with a country whoso
pcoplo are rapidly learning to dcspiso and not
fear them. The recent shameful act of
piracy committed upon a Canadian vessel in
Behring is unjustifiable and has only ouo re
deeming feature , namely , that It will bring
the whole question under consideration and
the Washington authorities will bo obliged
to apologize as well as recoup the oivnors of
the vessels they Interfered with. If this Is
not done what is loft of the Yankee naval
effects will probably disappear from more
seas than Bohring. "
