Mrs. Maybrick can only be saved
by the Queens intervention. It does
seem that the popular feeling evoked
by the verdict has some real meaning
and cause. Sympathy with wives
who murder their husbands is not
general and it certainly does not
characterize the actions and senti-
ments of an English community par-
ticularly such elements of community
as hav« so deeply interested them-
selves in Mrs. Maybrick’s fateful
career. Her admission before the
judge that she had wronged her hus-
band previously and had confessed
that wrong and been forgiven told
fearfully against her in the closing
scenes of the trial. Her judge evi-
dently regarded her with greater
disfavor after that admission and her
appeal to the Queen will be very apt
to fail for the same reason. Any
change that saves her from death and
condemns her to a life of imprison-
ment will not be welcomed; for a
speedy death particularly if she be
innocent is preferable to a life-long
agony in prison. The popular senti-
ment on both sides the water regards
her Innocent of the crime charged.

ana district occurs'September 3rd and

a duel. This is the result of a con-
troversy before the committee of the
House of Representatives when Cal-
houn charged that Williamson’s first
purpose in the organization of his
road was to sell out to the Central of
Georgia. This Williamson denounced
as false. Yesterday Calhoun sent a
demand for retraction. Williamson
sent a reply refusing further commun-
ication the result being an agreement
to go outside the state for further ne-
gotiations it being felony; to send a
challenge in Georgia. Both men left

duel grounds at Sand-bar ferry. The

Among other oversights and under-
sights and shortsights of the last
democratic legislature was that which
neglected to make provision for the
transportation of the orphans from
their present residences to the asylum
provided for them at Corsicana. An
appropriation was made for the trans-
portation of the deaf dumb aud blind
asylum inmates but none for the or-
phans. As a consequence the benefits
of the asylum are uot enjoyed by
scores who would otherwise be found
within its walls. Superintendent
Gaither says there are not over a dozen
in the asylum although applications
for over two hundred are on file.
Since the legislature has neglected
this thing it should be taken in hand
by the benevolent people in those
communities where orphans are wait-
ing transportation and means fur-
nished the little ones for reaching the
Corsicana home.

IDENTIFIED.
Toe Unknown Woman Found Yes-
terday Was Eva Guppy
of Gonzales.
The poor woman whose body was
found in the river yesterday is now
known to have been Eva Guppy or
as she preferred to-be known in life
Minnie Douglass. She had lived in
Sau Antonio about one year coming
to Sau Antonio from Laredo where
she taught in a school for some time
under her own name. Originally her
home was about a mile from Gonzales
where her parents reside. Of her
early history lit le is known in San
Antouio. When she first arrived in
San Antonioshe stopped a few nights
at the Meager hotel and then wen
to live at Eliza Blocker’s house on
West Commerce street which is now
used as a boarding house by Alice
Bell. Part of the year she lived on
Soledad street and for some time was
engaged as corresponding clerk for
Gen. McLeary. Ou last Monday she
left the Santa Rosa hospital where
she had been for about six weeks un-
der treatment aud that night she ap-
plied to Alice Bell fora night’s lodging
and something to eat saying she had
no money. She was provided for and
'Hiesuay she left going with Louisa
Haar to see Jim Davis’ wife who had
done washing for her. Tuesday night
she was in Fuller’s hack looking for
some friends but found none and
again went to Davis’ house where
she left some trinket and then on foot
walked away. It is supposed she
went straight to the river and threw
herself iu. While on Soledad street
she often took solitary walks to the
convent bridge and would stay for
hours on the small span looking into
the river and apparently greatly en-
joying the fresh scenery around. It
was her favorite place* and as a last
friend whom she could trust when
all others had deserted her she at
length sought rest and oblivion from
her precarious existence beneath the
surface of the old river.
It is said deceased had a lover in
San Antonio a young fellow with
whom she quarreled some months
ago and who had since failed to re-
cognize her when they met. It is sup-
posed he was one of the friends sue
was looking for but could not find
Tuesday night.
Justice McAllister has not yet con-
cluded the Inquest on the remains
but will re-open the investigation
this afternoon at 3 o’clock. Several
witnesses were examined yesterday
afternoon after 3 o’clock.
The physician who was first called
upon to see the unfortunate woman
when she occupied a little room on
Soledad street did so at the call of a
lady neighbor. He found her with a
minor illness but she acknowledged
to him that she was starving. She
said she had tried to make a living
by copying for law offices and oth-
ers but could getno more work. She
was taken to the hospital and there
was well taken care of. Her appetite
was marvelous and fully corrobor-
ated her words. When the doctor
asked her if she had not once worn
gold spectacles when on the street
she replied sadly “Ah yes but I
pawned them to buy something to
eat.”
Two Highwaymen.
A brace of colored women. May
Williams and Henrietta Reed were
landed in the county cooler yesterday
by City Detective Gerhardt. They
are charged by Ira Burgess with go-
ing through his jeaus for change in
the true highway style. One of the
dusky darlings held him up while the
other cut out his pocketsand skipped.
Justice McAllister attends io their
cases.
Between two stools one must come
to the ground. There are so many
propositions for reaching the fair
grounds that the council cannot de-
cide upon which one to let the light
of its favor rest so visits all imparti-
ally with its disfavor. This is at
least the history of the propositions
so far submitted and acted upou.
The most feasible plan is to have the
San Antonio street railway company
double its tracks on South Flores
street to the Aransas Pass depot put
in long switches or double its track
between Alamo plaza and the Aran-
sas Pass depot via Mission garden
and so make practically a double belt
line from Aransas Pass depot through
the Main aud Alamo plaza’s. This
in additionto the direct line proposed
by the San Antouio Land and Im-
provement company would give full
aud acceptable transit to the fair
grounds this fall and leave the fair
management with their hands un-
tied to advertise the fair and bend
all their energies to securing exhibits
and attendance with the assurance
that all who come would be provided
transit to the grounds.
