Brierly Salle For Boston Without Even Waiting to Hear the De- cision of Home Secres tary Matthews, Recelved the News On a Sick Bed. [Copyright 1859 by James Gordon B:nnett. Laiverroor, August 23.—|New York Herald Cable—Specinl to Tie Ber.]—The messenger who carried the order remitting the death penalty in the case of Mrs. Maybrick arrived at the Jail at 1:80 this morning. Governor Anderson and Chaplain Morris entered Mrs. Maybrick’s cell together. This is Chaplain Morris’ description of the visit: ““We went into tho prison at a quarter past 2 o'clock. The women's department, in which Mrs. Maybrick’s cell is situated, is near the gates on the left. We were received there by the head warden and a woman, who accompanied us to the cell. She knocked at the door. The light in the cell was instently turned up and the door opened by one' of the female watchers. We passed in. The cell was lighted by a single gas jet, burning brightly. Mrs. Maybrick was undressed and in bed. She lay on her back, her hair loosely coiled abvut her head. She made no sign as we entered. She merely warned her eyes and looked at us. She was very weak and had the listless air natural to her con- dition. The governor went close to her Vbedside and said: ‘Mrs. Maybrick, I have Cjust received a message from the home secretary, which states that ne has advised the queen to commute your sen- tence to imprisonment for life.’ Mrs. May- brick said nothing; her face showed no sign. She merely lifved her left hand and stretehed it out to take that of the governor. ‘T'nat ‘was all that was said, and we came away in- mediately.” Baroness Von Roque called at the prison early this forenoon, but did not see her daughter. She had along interview with Governor Anderson, of whose consideration she speaks in warm words of praise. He informed her she could have, under the rules, one more interview with her daughter that is known as the farawell visit. He ad- vised her not to use her privilege immediately, as there might be many things to talk over, and she bad better prepare her- self for it, with that idea in vie The status of Mrs, Maybrick as a prisoner had, he said, been changed by the commutation, and without a special permit he could not allow her more than the customary privil- eges. The baroness expressed thanks for this suggestion. Agitating Kor Mrs. Maybrick's Pardon Loxnoy, August 23.—The Maybriclk com- mittee has resolved to_agitate for a pardon on the ground that tbe decision of Home Scoretary Matthows shows that there is reasonable doubt whether Maybrick was poisoned. T Brierly Suils For Boston, [Copyright 1589 by Jan:s Gorbin Binnott.] Liverpoor, August 23, —[New York Her- ald Cable—Special to Tuk Brs.]—Boston prides itself in ceing more or less English, but it will not cotton to the sort of English represented by Albert Bricrly. This is the man through whose instrumentality Mrs. Maybrick put her head into the noose and barely escaped o most shameful death. From the moment the woman who had risked everything for him fell into deadly peril until she was sen- tenced to death he remained hidden, He never lifted a hana to lighten her burden. This poltroon could nov even wait to hear tho decision of the home secretary in the case of the woman whom he hud professed to love. He sailed for Boston on the Scuthia yesterday, and when he sailed no one knew whether or not Mrs. Maybrick was to be hanged. While thous- ands who had never scen the woman waited anxiously for the word that meant life or death o Mrs. Maybrick, her ex-lover, Brierly, pack- ed his traps and sneaked aboard a steamer. It is said that his firm bas dissolved their Liverpool §purt nership recently and the Now Orleans business was broken up us well. It is currently reported that Brierly is about to settle in the southern states and eouter business on his fown account. He arrived on the steawmer stage about half past 2, accom- panied by a lady bolieved to be his sister. Shortly after his arrival he was met by three gentlomen, one of whom was his brother, I, J. Brierly, who had come to bid him goodbye, and the party con- tinued walking about until half past 8, when the last tender, the Skirmisher, left for the steamer, which was lying in the middle of the river. Brierly then bid farewell to the lady and gentleman when he went on bourd the tender, On get- ting on bourd the Scynthia he immediately crossed to the far side and did not again venture to look towards the stage where his friends were standing. He was not recognized by any of the general publio, Brierly would receive the news of the ulti- mate fate of Mrs. Maybrick on his arrival at Queenstown, where the Scynthia wias to call for the Boston mails. Nothing yet Is known as to whether the convict will be removed to & peual estab- lhishment. It is not expected that she will be removed for two or throe weeks. Stafford ‘will probably be her first destination, and theuce she will be taken to & penal establish- ment, probably Millbank, —— England's Maritime Representatives , o [Copyright 1889 by “ames Gordon Binnett,) LoxpoN, August 23,—|New York Herald Cable--Special to Tuk Bge.|—England's reprosentatives at the Maritime conference, to be held in Washington in October, are Chbarles Hall, M.

The Western Roads Conclude to Get Down to Business, Cricaao, August 28.—|Special Telogram to Tur B ~Judge Cooley’s decision had the effect to-day of making the western roads Ret right down to business on the north- western complication. After along discus- sion and an additional interview with Judge Cooley, the following resolution was unani- mously passed : Resolved, that, taking effect August 26, 1889, all proportional tariffs which huve been established from Chicago or Peoria to La- crosse, Winona, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Minnesota transfor, or to intermediate terri- tory, be withdrawn and cancelled, no pro- vortional tariffs to be in effect on and after that date; that the chairman be constituted a committee of one to confer with the east. ern lines without delay for the purpose of effecting arrangements for the establishment of through rates betwecu the eastern points and lake ports and St. Paul, Minneapolis and Minnesota transfer, to meet the existing competition of the northern roads, such rates not to apply at_intermediate points be- tween Chicago and Peoria and St Paul, Minneapolis and Minnesota transfer, he to report the result of the negotiations to an adjourned meeting of this body to be held September 8, 18807 that no line shall make any change in the rates pending said meet- ing, and in the event of failure w effect ar- rangements with eastern lines. o line to be at liberty to change the rates between Chi- cago and Peoria und St. Paul, Minneapolis and Minnusota transfer, excepting upon five duys’ notice, to be given on or after Septem- ber 8, 1889, The situation now is exactly where it was ten days ago. The Chicago, St. Paul & Kan- sus City to-day took local freight to St. Paul ata 1b-cent rate, but Judge Cooley over- rode the law enough to grant permission to that roud to advance rates according to the resolution without the customary ten days’ notice, The Burlington & Northern is by no means satisfled with the lement, and the can be suid of th cago, St. Paul § sas City. of the former road, said after the meeting of the Western Kreight association that his road did not for & moment contemplate goiug out of the through business. *‘We will issue a legal through tariff just as soon as we can get it read, said he. “It is easy enough to form combinations with eastern Tiues, and in any event we can issuo a lecal through tariff by quoting the local tariff of an eastern line and adding a low enough rate as a St. Paul proportion to mect the present competition.’ The outlook, consequently, is still far from a bright one. The Burlington & Northern must, to form its proposed through rate, quote auew the 15 cent rate which has caused all the trouble, now temporarily ended.

The Girl Abont to Marry Another. Cn10aco, August 23.—3overal days ago some prominent papers in the country pub- listied a story to the effect that & young man named George Dunning, who is serving a sentenco of four years in Joliet penitentiary for burglary. was really innocent, the victim of a conspiracy; that he had really been guilty of no other crime than aspiring to the hand of the daughter of a Chicago millionaire; that the millionaire tried to buy him - off, and, failing, concocted & conspiracy by which the young man was arrsted 1n December, 1856, and railroaded to the penitentiary for four yearss that a couple of months ago a person who was at that time editor of a great Chicago duly was in serious financial straights and secured u hint of the story from a detectivo. Instead of publishing the news he promptly blackmailed the millionaire, and £10,000 was the prico of suppressing the story A reporter for a local paper investigated the matter and yesterday interviewed Dun- uing in prison, where no himself told the same strange story which exhaustive in- quiry in Chicago appears to confirm in every detail. It is asserted that when the unfor- tunate young man entered Joliet the officials were instructed to put him_at the hardest and most trying kind of work. He was o man of shght build and was soon used 5 A police official who was an enemy of the editor in question and who was for ‘personal reasons running down the latter's part in the affair. was hor- rified on going to the prison to find the pitiable plight of Dunning. He used in- fluence with the officials to secure an amelioration of the latter's toil. At this time there had been two attempts made by Dunning's friends to get him a pardon, but for some reason the attempts proved fruitives. Dunning was allowed to languish in prison, and has six months’ confinement before him yet, Until to-day he appeared to fear to discuss his strange experience, think- ing it would cause him trouble when he re- gained s liberty. The millionaire's daugh- ter, it is understood, is about to marry an- other man in Chigago, The names of the other parties in the case ave, for obvious reasons, withneld. Al AXTELLy BREAKS THE RECORD. The Phenomenal Three-Year-O'd's Performance at Washington Park. Cnicaco, August 23.--There was graat sport at Washington park to-day. Axtell, the phenomenal thrae-year-old, trotted to beat his record, and he did so, making a mile 10 2:14, and_another three-year-old, the oy stallion, Allerton, 1 the third heat of a bruising race, made the circuit of the track in 2:18. Axtell's mile chps three-quarters of a second from his former record of 2:14%, notwithstanding the fact thut even that was better than provious per- formances by any three or four-year-old. It is also within threc-quarters of ‘a second of Patron’s 2:131, which stands as the best record for stallions of any age. The circum- stances under which this record was made are likely to zive rise to endless discussion a8 to whether it was a record in o raco or against time. Axtell and Earl McGregor were on_the card as starters in the stallion race, and the card also announced that Axtell was to £0 to beat his own record. The first heat was trotted un- der the usual conditions of tha race, and rved merely as a warmer, being done in In the next heat, thatin w was made, distance waived and Axtell had o ning horse to aceompany and encourage him from the upper turn to the finist, Karl McGregor being far behind and cutting no figure.

Balfour said that long fa- miliarity with such attacks induced contempt. He urged statistics to show that there was a lower rate of mortality in Irish than in English prisons.

MORNING, AUGUST 24, 189, NUMBER 66, WHEST POINTERS ¥ Cadets Settle a Dispute Marquis of Queensbury Rutes. Weer Pornt, N. Y., Augtist 28.—[Special Telegram to Tie Bep.|-~Amid the grim old green covered ramparts of historie Fort Clinton, whose soil re-cchoos the memories of the revolution, has been fought & prize figt—marquis of Queeusbury rules. Cadet Corporal Dickson, of Texas, and Cadet Stot- son, of New York, were the sluggers. They had some quarrel, and after canvassing tho matter over, their friehds decided that it must be fought in the prize ring. The names of the seconds, for reasons politie, are with- held. However, they were two prominent members of the first class, The referee, who is well versed in all thepropricties of prize fighting, was also a member of the first class. He was, both combatants admit, fair and im- parual in his decisions. At 4 o'clock on the morning of August 15, when the sentinel who guards No. 1 post had his back turned and was facing the west- ward, five white figures -slipped across the post und scaled Fort Clinton's ramparts. TRAE RING. This swiftly tlecting igroup were tho two fighters, seconds and referee. No other witnesses were present, It took but a few moments to settlo all the preliminaries. Marquis of Queensbury tactics were adopted, The pugilists took off their coats, the ring was formed, both shook hands and the battle was on. The beginning was characterized by no features worthy of uote. It was simply parry and counter-parry between the two coutestants, Round-after round was fought without any decisive results. It looked as though it would be along, bloody contest, with honors about equally @ivided. ° After the tenth round the fight became very exciting. Neither, until then, had ac- complished much. During the twelfth round Stetson, who all during the contest displayed better warding-off tacties than Dickson, got the latter off his guard, Bager to take ad- vantaige of his opponent; Stetson's brawny arm, with a sledge-hammer blow direct from the shoutder, landed syuarely on Dick- son's right eye. Quick a8 a flash he repeated this strategic move, for a time completely dazing his Texas opponent, When time was_called Dickson bravely towed the mark. Ho had two shining black eyes, bnt was still vigorous and in for Stet- son's gore. But the twelfth inning had rather wenkened the force of Dickson's blows and they produced little effect upon Stetson. Without any interruption and without much hard hitting being done on cither side the fight continued until the thirty-fifth round, when Stetson scored another point. He'again strack Dickson one of Johin L.'s characteristic blows right be- tween the eyes, which nearly stunned him, At this stage of the fight a delay occurred while Dickson’s seconds apptied a little cold water to his aching forehead and half closed eyes. Although both men were showing signs of cxbuustion, they were still game. Dickson had been the most severely punished, all of Stetson's blows being made with telling effect. Stetson aisplayed greater science and wag@ble to protect him- self from his opponeutd weak but well directed blows. { Five more rounds wi fought, but were productive of nothing, aithough Stetsoa kept pounding Dickson in x ghest with such telling effect that 1t m: him very weary. Tt was evident to each 's second that it was useless to longer cofitinue the siugging match, but the referee decided that as long as the principals were willing he would let tnem fight it out. Reveille finaily put a to the fight, and draw. All then the referee decided. it skurried buck to camb. (A8 soon as Dickson had mustered his men h@* had % report. bim- self sick, and wont to_thh hospital to have his eyes and chest doctored. He has been there ever since. The matter has just leaked out, and it is not known what the Buthorities will do. ANOTHER RAILROAD plS:\STER. Two Trains Smashed to Smitherecns —Many Killed and Wounded. PeTROLEUM, W, Va., August 23.—A col- lision occurred this morning on the Balti- more & Ohio, between Petroleum and Silver- run tunnel, about twenty-three miles cast of Parkersburg, in which three men were in- stantly killed and fifteep or twenty wounded. The accommodation train coming west crashed into a special traia occupied by rail- road magnates on a tour of inspection, The cause of the wreck is said to have been conflicting telograms, Both trains were running at o rapid rate, and when they collided the special train went over the cliff in. one indistinguishable mass, James Laymen, the engineer of the ac- commodation train, and Alexander Balley, the firemen, were crushod in the wreck of the engines. \ Cephus Rowland, the engineer of the spe- clal, was Caught under the wreck and his leg was broken and he received internal in- juries from which he ¢annot recover, John Fletcher, the fireman, was also killed.

THE THREE OTHERS DIE GAME. Packenham and Nolan Die on One Scaffuld and Carolin and the Negro Lewls Exccuted On the Other. Full Dress on the Scaffold. New Yomrk, August 23.—{Special Telo- gram to Tun Bee. ) —Yosterday was a mix- ture of gloom and festivity for the four men who were waiting till a day’s dawn should bring a halter to their nocks. A number of visitors called to pay their farewell visit. "The faithful sisters of mercy, who have been unwearying in their ministrations to tne murderers, came in the forenoon at 11 o'clock ana remained with them until 7 in the evening. Fawher Prendergrast and Father Gelinas arrived at that hour to as- sume charge of the men, until death should relieve them. Nolun’s sister und the two women cousins, who have called on him several times sinco he was seutenced, were with him yesterday. The women broke down and sobbed hysteri- cally, while Nolan looked at them curiously and puffed a little faster on his cigar, which he chewec nervously. ““You'don't do any good by crying, he said at lasy, “for that won't help you any.” Later a message was brought to the gray- haired Packenham telling him that his chil- dren were coming to see him, and as he steppoed briskly to the wire netting of the cage, his son and daughter entered the cor- ridor. e cut their visit short himself, tell- ing them not to grieve for him and to take warning by his gloomy fate. Their sobs echoed along the walls of the corridor as they withdrew. In the evening at a little before 10 o'clock, oung Robert Packenham, who had come rom his farm work to see his father in the vigil of death, returned to the vrison, and a still more affecting interview than that of the morning took place between them, WAdfter the lu‘mur of the condemned they were taken to the yard for a last iaste of air and recreation, They ranged themselves along the wallof the prison and smoked, laughed and talked as if they had no conmnmection with the dreadful ordeal of the coming day. Carolin, who was the most restive of the crowd, ut last declared that he wanted to see the gallows, He examined the structure curiously and withouta tremor, shook tho uprights with gi; hand, and scemed satisfied with their sta- ility. I'havs all right,” he said, “but it ain’t an artistic job, They ought to have paiuted it black.” The others also took a turn around the prison and_enjoyed a cursory look at the gallows. Then they all went'into the prison and Father Gelinas offered night prayers for them before they were shut up in the cage. By miduight the men were all asleep,breath- “’g heavily. hortly ufter 4 o'clock Warden Osborne made his appearance, and a few minutes later Hungman “Joe"” Atkinson, dressed in sober black, but coilarless, wandered in from the jail yard where he had been making final reparations for the work before him. ther Gelinas slept in the cage with the the doomed men. Packentiam was the first of the murderers to awaken. When told 1t was after 4 o'clock he got up and began to dress very carefully. He washed himself thoroughly at a basin and had. just finished wien the deputies It took but o touch to bring Carolin to his senses. All night long he had rolled and tossed on his narrow iron cot. At times he would sit bolt upright and fan himseif vigorously with a nowspaper. It required soothing words from the deputies to compose him. He chewed his finger nails until they were bitten to the aquick and the blood came, . Neither Packenham uor Notan spoke a word for the first fifteen minutes after they awoxke, and it was not until all four were up and dressed that anything was said. Then it was the negro Lewis who broke the silence: 'l soon be over, now,"” he said. This remark caused Nolan's lip to quiver and the youngest of the murders began to show signs of weakening. At 4:30 o'clock the men were busy arrang- ing their last toilet. Nolan paid particular attention to the arrangement of his necktie, while Lewis, the negro, spent the most of his time umckin¥ his boots. Packenham and Lewis shook hands heartily and with a firm grip with Night Keeper Orr and bade him good bye in voices devoid of tremor, At 5 o'clock the march to the chapel was commenced, Father Pendergrast’ leading. The ten deputies all wore high silic hats and were drassed in black frock couts. The pris- oners were bare headed and were attired in clothes provided by the sheriff. For three- quarters of an hour the group remained in the chapol. After mass had been said the men were returned to their cage, where breakfast was served. It was a bounuful meal and all the men partook heartily. It was arranged officially that Packing- bam anc Nolan, both being tall and of a size, were to be hanged together on the scaffold which had been erected on the Franklin strect side of the prison, and Carolin and Lewis were to bo_hanged on the gibbet on the Leonard street side, At0:10 Sheriff Flack reached his office. He at once organized his deputies und started for the Tombs, Immediately after the sheriff entered the prison the black caps were put on the men and they were led to the scaffold. First a jury of twelve men, all nowspaper representatives, entered the prison yurd, and two minutes later a second set of jurors filed in and marched to their places, The last rites of the church were administered to Packenham aud Nolan. The arms of the condemned were pinioned and over the shoulder of each hung a black cap. Packen- ham's face was palid, but he looked uu- flinchingly into the faces around him. Nolan hardly appeared to realize his position, Theré was & half defiant look on his counte- nance. After the men had taken their places on the scaffold they both grasped the hands of the priest, wringing them fervently, Then Hangman Atkinson tied a white cord about the legs of Nolan, just above the ankles. His assistant did a like service for Packenbaw, Instantly the black caps were adjusted. At asignal from Atkinson, the bodies of both were jerked into the air. At 7:10 Nolan and Packenham were prouounced dead, but their bodies were permitted to hang for ten min- utes longer. While this scene was being enacted, preparations were being made for what proved to be the wmost shock- ing spectacie that has ever taken place within the walls of the Tombs prison, Two mioutes after Carolin and Lewis had received their last spiritual consolation, they entered the jail yard accompanied by the priests. Lewis walked unsteadily the first few paces, but quickly recovered hiwself, Ho shook nands with several of the deputies, who had been specially kind to him. Carolin had a lighted cigar between bis lips, and was pufiing vigorously, blowing clouds of smoke nto the faces of the priests, His face was o8 pale @8 the face of the dead and the scowl upon it almost demoniacal. He glared at the pricsts s he turned wround and felt the rope touch his shoulders. Spitting the cigar stump out of his mouth, he backed out into the pathway that the horritied spectators occupied. At- kinson Lad just pinioned his legs when ho spoke. Looking sullenly at the three pricsts, he suddenly exclaimed : ‘[ die an innoceut man, G—d d-nit. I id not do this thing Lewis half turned his head and addressing his companion, said: ‘‘What's the matter with you, anyway! Why don't you die hke & mau " *1 wiil die like & man,” shrieked Carolin, his face turning perfectly livid, *I will die like & man—an innocent man.’ “I'he words were scarcely out of his mouth before Atkinson had clapped the black cap over nis head. ‘Ihe ussistant bavgman cov- Kinson gave the signal aud the two wrotches went iato the alr with so ifttle forco that there was scarcely any rebotnd at all. Lewis unexpectedly bagan to struggle (n a most sickening manner. Ho threw his legs about so violently as to kick off his slippers. Then he began to gurgle and choke. Rasping, wheezy sounds came from him for fully two minutes. His body turned and swayed and the contortions were so painful that half a dozen men turned wway their hoads. ‘Tho poor creature was slowl: strangled. Carolin's body was vio lently contorted also, but ho uttered no sound. Sevon minutos after the drop men were dead, All four bodies wero al- lowed to hang for half an hour, and were then cut down and placed in plain cofiins. THE PREDATORY UTES. Citizens of Routt Connty, Co'orado, Petition for Protection. WASHINGTON, Aupust 23.—A telogram was recoived to-day at the executive mansion from General Cooper, of Colorado, and was immediately referred to the Indian bureau.

THE INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS, October 20, About Noon, the Dele- gates to the Throo Americas' Convention Will Arrive In Omaha. 518 FOURTRENTH STRERT, WasiiNaroy, D. C., August 23, Mr. I, A. G. Handy, of Virginia, is one of the democrats of the Old Dominion who is inclined to tho belief that the political chances in the state this fall are by no means alltogether on the side of the democracy. Mr. Handy smd to Tre Bre correspondent this evening: *‘The nomination of Mahone means the most vigorous campaign Virginia has seon in many years. Mahoue is one of the shrowdest political managers in the country, and he will fight this fight to win. He will bo aided by Quay and the national committee, and will be supplied with all the money they command. In this re- spect the republicans of Virginia will bave a strong advantage over the demo- crats, as the latter will have only their own pockets to depend upon. There is reason to believe that the half dozen .or more promi- nent republicans who are classed as anti- Mahone men, and who took no part in the proceedings at Norfolk will either fall into line or make no active opposition. On the educational question the platforms of the two partics are substantinlly the same, both fa- vormg federal aid to tho public schools, The tariff question, with the Internal 1evenue adjunct, will bo_especially pushed by the republicans. The demoorats are thoroughly organized in the cities and large towns and the main dificulty will be w get out the democratic voters in the country dis- tricts, but the hotter Mahone makes the fight, the easicr it will be for the democrats to gather their full stronyth, They have popular candidates and n good platform, and almost the entire press of Virginia will heartily support the ticl The danger lies in the fear that these advantages will result in apathy und failure to appreciate the strength of the opposition,” . THE T 10A'8 DELEGATES. Mr. William E. Curtis, the special agent af the state department, who has charge of the arrangements for the excursion to bo given to the international American con- gress in October, said to Tue Ber corres- pondent to nigh “The excursion will arrive in Omaha about noon Saturday, October 25.
