New York, August 24. On board
the Red Star liner Vaderland, which
arrived today from Antwerp, was Mrs.
Florence Chanlera Maybrick. recently
released from prison in England.
Mrs. Maybrick was entered on the
passenger book as Rose Ingraham, a
name which she took from her great
grand parents. This precaution was
not designed to evade official inquiry,
MBS. MAYBBICK.
but merely to avoid annoying obser
vation on the part of fellow passen

hex presence on board and appeared
frequently about the decks and saloon,
very few were aware of her identity. f
She Is accompanied by Mrs. and Mr

Mrs. Maybrick refused to be inter

statement:
"I regret that the state of my health

I take this method of expressing mj

congratulations on my release, whict
I regret I have not been able, per
sonally, to acknowledge.
"As my mother was not able to ac
company me, I came over under th
protection of Mr. Hayden, my attor
ney, and his wife.
"I am assured by my English phyai
clan and by Dr. Wilmer, of Washing
ton, D. C, who prescribed for me dur
ing the voyage, that quiet and mentai
rest will, in time, restore my health.
"It is on the advice of my counsel
and my physician that I have traveled
incognito. I cannot express the feel

with which I return to my native land
At the earliest opportunity I shall vis

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.
Union Pickets Have Established Sys
tem of Espionage.
Chicago, August 24. Packers began
active work today to put Into effect
a scheme to house their nonunion em
ployes In the Old Hammond plant at
Hammond, Ind., in event of failure to
secure an injunction against the city.
In any event the Hammond compa
ny, which is short of room here, to
as for living quarters, will probably
put the plan into operation. The
packers assert any interference with
trains carrying employes to and from
Hammond would constitute a violation
of the interstate commerce law, and
would necessitate federal action.
Union pickets are established blocks
away from the principal entrances and
have lists of those who come and go
to the yards daily. Men are being
stopped blocks away and warned
against continuing work. The office
Of Secretary Tracy, of the Allied
Trades conference board, was thronged
today with persons who, working at
the stockyards, demand permits to
avert Interference from pickets. The
applicants included union printers em
ployed by Armour & Co., employes of
the two newspapers published in the
yards and a dozen watchmen. All
were refused permits.

from work. The family with whom
Thompson lodged were warned that
he was a strike breaker and that il
he was given further accommodations,
the house would be wrecked. When
he appeared he was told he would have
to leave. He took his suit case and
started. A short distance from tha
house he encountered six men, who
knocked him down and robbed him oi j
a small amount of money. He was
then beaten and allowed to go. He re

RING IN WILD UPROAR.
Sensational Cotton Market at New Or
leans, La.
New Orleans, August 24. It was a
en sat ion al cotton cirrket today.
The ring was in a wild uproar over
conflicting bullish and bearish feat
ures and the scenes on the floor re
sembled those during the height ol
last winter's bull campaign. Prices
bulged and broke with alarming rapid
ity. At the opening the tone was calmed
very slightly with prices from 20 ta
24 points higher than last might's
closing. Liverpool and New York
both came In at an advance that sent
local shorts Into a panic of covering.
A prominent broker bought 30,000
bales of October and Decemoer around
the opening. It was generally sup
posed that this buying wa3 for Prica
of New York. Liverpool flooded tha
market with extremely bullish private i
cables, and this added to the scara
among the shorts. Late In the morn
ing, the belief grew that the regulai
weekly crop reports would.be bullish
and this caused more short covering
and long buying until prices were 42
and 43 points or over 2 a bale high
er than last night. The reports wer
the biggest surprise of the morning. In.
stead of being bullish, they were bear
ish and prices ' immediately broke
from 19 to 21 points, but at noon the
market was still about a quarter ol
cent higher than last night.

Japs Preparing to Celebrate Fall of

London,. August 23. 3:25 p. m.
The Evening News this afternoon pub-;
lished a dispatch from Che Foo under ;
today's date announcing that the Jap '
anese captured "Chain Fort" of the
Port Arthur defenses yesterday, al
ter a tremendous attack.
Che Foo, August 23. Noon. Ac-
cording to advices brought here from 0f affairs in the Far East, and the

sian right in the vicinity of Golden
Hill. rnese advices are brought by
Chinese who departed from Tai Ping
Tse, which is a mile from the city
near Golden Hill, between the city
and the forts of the Russians' right
wing. The Chinese declare that tha
Japanese occupied Tai Ping Tse and
penetrated along the railroad to Gen
eral Stoessels' residence on Aug. 21.
As this report export would indi-
oate that Port Arthur had all but fall
en. tne Japanese expert attached ta
the local consulate received the infor
mation with great reserve. The io
formation is accepted, however, &i
a confirmation of the previous report
that the Russians have been driven
from Itzsban and that the Japanese
are very close to the southern forta
and the defenses.
The local Japanese under the lead,
ershlp of the consul are subscribing
money and preparing to celebrate tha"
expected fall of the fortress.
The Chinese who arrived today fur
ther reported that a Russian warship
was hit by a shell recently and sunk
In the haTbor. A report was cabled
several days ago that the gunboat ol
the Otvajani had been sunk. This

Port Arthur squadron would commit
an act of folly if it went out now.
He adds: "Although a portion ol
Admiral Ouktomsky's ships are in
fighting trim, including at least the
Peresviet, Poltava, Sevastopol and Pal

break through Admiral Togo's strong
lines. The squadron would be lost
without profit to Port Arthur. Ouk

his gunis and send his men ashore
This would reinforce General Stoes
sel to the extent of near 7 heavy and
400 light guns, and 6,000 men. Then,
if the worst comes, the ships could be
sunk."
Japanese Valor.
A semi-official-journal while paylnf
a tribute to the heroic defenders of
Port Arthur, does not withhold praise
for the extraordinary valor of the Jap
anese besiegers. It says:
"Neither a rain of cannon shots,
walls of bayonets nor earth strewn
with putrifying corpses can arrest
their stubborn assaults."

of a Little-Girl Near that Place.
Cremated at the Stake.
Cedartown, Ga., August 24. The
orgy of lynching was enacted here
last night with all its revolting feat
ures. Jim uioves, tne negro who outraged
little Levia Reeves paid every penalty
for his crime known to revenge
xi was uea 10 a ee ana snoi. a
most to pieces and nis riddled body,
dragged a mile from town to the cen-
ter of the city and burned to ashes
on the most conspicuous spot of Main
street, in the very heart of the city.
Fully 2,500 people witnessed his
death as best they could In the bright
moonlight and a mob of crazed par-
ticipants whooped and sang as the
body fried and crisped.
The negro's victim was Levia, the
13-year-old daughter of Abner Reeves,
a prominent farmer, who lives about
1 miles from Cedartown.
The crime was committed as the lit
tle girl was carrying a cow to a pas
ture about a quarter of a mile from
her home
The assault was a most fiendish one,
' I
and the wonder Is that the little girl
escaped from the clutches of the negro
"C1 "1C- AUUUl ""uulc"
before the crime the negro passed the
house of Mr. Reeves, who had gone
early to a mill, and the dog in hia
yard made atthe passing negro and
the little girl had restrained the ani-

where she lay. The ground showed
evidences of a struggle and the weeds
and corn were mashed down. The
clothing of the child was bloody and.
torn. Her neck was red and scratch
ed, as was her face, and in less than
ten minutes her throat was swollen
to an enormous size. She was car
ried to the houEe, and Drs. J. A. Lid-
dell and W. A. Chapma. two of Co
dartown's most prominent physicians,
were sent for.
The news was carried to the store
of Van Devander Bros., where the
nearest telephone was reached, and
the report spread throughout the city
in a few minutes.
Men mounted horses and seized bug-
gies and bicycles, and went to the
home of the crime, and within 30
minutes over 200 people were on the
ground offering their assistance and
joining in the chase. The fields and
woods were scoured, and a negro wai
met by a few men coming to town
ob the road, making his way west
to the Alabama state line and the
mountains across the line. The men
had not heard of the assault, and, ol
course, did not attempt to arrest the
fugitive.
Polk superior court would have as
sembled this morning in fall session,
but the news of the outrage complete
ly demoralized the court, and jurors
and witnesses joined In the chase
without thinking of court or anything
else. The people have never been
so stirred by an incident in the history
of the county.
