Boston, Jnn. 5 Governor Kussell announced lato this afternoon that ho should refuse to pardon James Dunlap, tho Northampton bank robber, although tho council had voted to recoinuiciid such action. It see 1113 that tho council was divided In tho matter, nud as Governor Kussell has received many lottcra from prominent men protesting against tho pardon ho has decided not to re-loaso the noted prisoner this year.

Il was in April, 1832, that alio received hor charge, when her husbanu, Robert C. Scotf, tho Northampton bank robber, lay dying within tho statu prison at Ctiarlestown, Mas. Scott always regarded Dunlap ns his creation a "oriuii-nul for whom ho was responsible and besought his faithful wifo to rescue Dunlay from his living death. Then Scott, woighed down by his shame, died of broken he.Trt. From that duy Mrs.

Scott exerted every effort to secure tho prisoner's to-leiuo, with llio ifying words of her hus-band, "Mary, never desert poor Jim, for I am tho cause of him being where ho is," constantly before her. Though Scott and Dunlap wcro each beutenced to twenty years, Mrs. Scott declares that the real guilty ones were allowed to go free. Twice was a pardon ahuoit within her grasp, when it mded nway, and now for the third time she 1ms failed again. During all these years, despito t'uu fact that Mrs.

Scott Rowland posses-os a happy home in New York, bho has devoted tho greater part of her time to visiting Dunlap, working for hisiclcue and writing liiin cheering letters.

Young Burglars Captured at Tucson The Mayor Scheming for Re-election. Special to The Ubpoiilican. Tucson, Jnn. 5. I nm experiencing the novelty of reading my letters in Tun Riu-uiimuan, nnd finding them full of Ht range facts, brought about by tho lien tracks of my chiro-graphy, I presume.

Such handwriting possesses ono virtuo anyway, as when you aeo yourself in print, tho facts are just as fresh ns though some other fellow had written them. That was one of tho special features that tho writing master I studied under, banked on, and my hand has never forgotten its cunning. The burning of the Contention pump has been street talk in Tucson since tho iiowb reached us, which by tho way came via Panama, and only got to Tucson nfter a week of hard trivel, thanks to tho enterprise of tho Tomb-atone uows dispatchers, and some people aro unkind enough to intimato tiiat tho news might have reached Tucson at an earlier date, but such croakers are full of prejudice, and ns a rule blind to tho public interests. Too much news is a bad thing, and the Eaino may bo faid of prompt news, in as much as It is best to string matters out, ns news lasts so much lonuer. As I was saying our people have taken about as much interest 111 the effects ot the lire as tho people of Tombstone itself, nnd tho opinions on tho subject are as varied ns tlio hues of tlio rainbow.

Tho first impression that was generally expressed was that the burning of this last relic of the great Cornish pumps in Tombstone meant the cessation of any further effort nt deep mining In thnt camp, but ne timo has gone 011, and thought has ripened on tho subject it is pretty generally conceded here that the back set to Tombstone will only be tcuipoinry, and that the companies owning great mines there are on an equal footing, which will in the end enable them to arrive nt an arrangement to pump tho water out of the lower levels of tho mines ns development work goes forwnrd. This is a reasonable conclusion, ns it certainly cannot bo tnken for granted that the gentlemen owning Hie great properties of Tombstone, whoo product liiiH challenged tho admiration of the world, nnd bus filled the pockets of their owners to repletion, are to bo abandoned nt a depth where most mines only coin-ineuctrto become profitable. Persona acquainted with tho state of affairs at Tombstone, have regarded the nets of the owners of these mines during the last few years with tho same hopoless-neas of understanding as to what was the matter with them, thnt might bo fel in contemplating the intricacies of the famous fifteen puzzle in regard to what effect it had in filling up the inenno asylums all over tlio country, Tho cases aro Eomewhat parallel. There never was mining camp that was so thoroughly abandoned in tlio midst of its greatest prosperity, nnd I doubt whether the liko will ever bo seen again, certainly not in any country other than our own territory, and atill some people argue that we have advanced to state of civilization which entitles us to become state. If our conduct of tho mining industry is to bo a criterion by which wo are to bo judged, wo must fail, by a largo majority, and I don't mean 'to confine my remarks to Tombstone, but to the way tlio big mines of Arizonn have been handled in almost ovcrv county.

Tho mine owners of Tombstone nave one great advantage in tho fact that they have wealth as a rule, and their wealth was extracted from the mines and the can carry out a profitable policy it they desiro to and no octter investment could bo made, than nt once putting in eotno system of exhausting the water so tiiat all tho mines could be worked. To do this all tho mines must join hands, and give tho good work a boost and not lie down on the two leading mines to outlay tho largo an in of monoy necessary to accomplish this good work. All of southern Arizona is interested in the prosecution of mining in Tombstone. 'Clio fever of horscracing hero hna about passed oft since wo hnvo seen tho remarkably good timo that tho Plnenix horses havo mado the past weok. Tucson has never made a featuro of good stock, but there is no reason why Tucson should not keep a front place in the horso racing sport ns our population is largely mndo up of admirers of tho noble nnimals.

During the past few days we havo beon subjected to a largo number of burglaries and larcenies. Stores, shops and houses havo been broken into, until robbery became an epidemic, and our citizens wero demoralized nt tho prospect of being robbed every timo they turned their backs. Tho polico were looking for men, but when thoy caught the robbers they turned out to bo a trio of small boys. Tho smallest boy was allowed to go unmolested, but the other boys wero prosecuted on tho chargo of larceny, nnd pleading guilty got fivo nnd threo months in jail. Had thoy beon older they would have been prosecuted for burglary for which chargo thoy had no possible defence.

Charity for their tender yenra a.tved them from stato prison, but it waa deemed a healthy lesson to Bend them to jail to reflect on their evil doing. Our mayor kept open house, nnd this is interpreted to mean that he will again bo a candidate for tho high offico of mayor. Considerable timo will elnpso boforo our curiosity can bo satisfied in this matter nnd nfter all it may only mean that ho only wnnta to givo tho'boya cuuso to remember New Years, and a chanco to resolvo on change of lifo tho next day.

Attentive service. IN FEAR JFJS WIFE, John C. lleauvniHo Wauls a Divorce From His Wife. ONLY A BRIDE OF THREE MONTHS He Alleges That Sho Threatened His Lifo Divers Times. 3Iadam Beavalse Denies tho AllegationsTells the "story of Their Life.

John Crittenden Hcauvals is tho name of man who is rejiorted to bo wortli $80,000, with interest piling up at the usual rato every time the earth revolves round tho sun. But he is not happy, and ho blames it all to his wife. Yesterday ho aired bis ills and woes by filing with tho clerk of the district court, through his attorney, Justice W. O. llubon, petition nsking thnt his brief, but exciting and turbulent marriage relations with his better half, Marv be declared null and void and thai he be allowed to again poso among tho ranks of men of singlo blessed- ness.

It is ludricous as well as exciting tnlo that tho apparently much injured man relates. Ho goes on to stato that ho took Mrs. Beauvais for better or womb on October 3, of last year, the solemn vow to honor, love, obey, cherish nud other things having been aflirmed beforo the very legal luminary who has now been retained by tho husband to have the courts cast asunder. As the story goes Mr. Beauvais did not heed tho warning to bo found tomewhere in the good book "that tfio man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery," but went right ahead and hitched his nauio to tlio woman of his choice, although he was well aware of tho fact that sho had been legally disjointed from prior husband, whose nauio was John Luthur.

And even bo-fore Mr. Luthur enjoyed connubial bliss itli the woman whom Beauvais chose for helpmate, sho had embarked on the seas of matrimony witli J. T. Tucker, whoso lungs gave out and his spirit was wafted to tlio pearly shores. Mr.

Beauvais informs tlio court that as soon as lie was declared lawfully married by tho justice ho took up Ins abode with his wife, who ho says sud denly presented a forty-horse power temper ami pugnacious temperment that has on more than ono occasion made tho hair on his head assume a disposition to crawl through tlio crown of his hut. He also doscribes bis wife us being zealous of tongue, and stored with vocabulary of language not over soft and sweet, which from timo to time she has hurled at him with the force of a Kansas cyclone. It seems he could stand this to a certain extont, but lie draws the lino at what ho alleges to be her disposition to either do him bodily injury, or worse still, waft him while in the primo of Ids manhood nud usefulness before the reckoning powers up in tho beautiful beyond. After narrating in his petition tlic number of tongue lashings ho has undergouo from his spouse since his wedding day, Beauvais conies right out and tells llat-footed why ho wants the matrimonial tetters broken off and bo allowed to hold on to his thousands without having to share any of it witli tho woman who has cast thorns amid his bed of roses, and with whom it lms transpired ho cohnbitatcd for a number of years without legal consent nnd tlio fruits of which was a child, wlioao legitimacy was in peril until the celebration of tho marringe vows in tills city last October. A few weeks after the wedding day he setsforth that his wife filed vigorous objections to his going out nights to furnish violin music for merry dancers, nnd that when ho sought tho family fig tree about the hour of 1 a.

111. she was loaded and primed for him. Her noiso nnd clatter interfered with his templing the soothing solnco of morpiicus, so figuratively speaking, "ho took up bis bed nud walked" into another room, barricading the door, not as a matter of good faith but of personal safety to life and limb, that protected him from the irato Mrs. Benuvnise. But It seems the barricaded door afforded him not the shelter and protection that he had speculated on, for it soon yielded to the battering-ram blows of tho indignant wife, who, in loud and unmistakable tones, informed her licgo lord nud master that sho proposed to make mince meat of him with an nxo.

By strategy and a liberal allowance of strength Beauvais succeeded in avoiding death, and nfter passing a night of horror and suspense, at daybreak made his escape. Tho action of Beauvais in appealing to tho court for redress has made Mrs. Beauvais really wrathy, and last night sho promised a Repuiilican reporter that sho proposed to make it very interesting for the gentleman. a Mrs. Beauvais was seen at her residence, whero she was exercising matronly and mother's caro over three children, a boy 11 years of ngo; a girl, who has seen six summers, nud a baby two years and onomonth The first enumerated children nro by a former wifo of Beauvais, while the last is the one born to tho warring couple out of wedlock.

Mrs. Beauvais lias two more children bv previous husbands, but they nro with relatives in tho east. By the same husbands she had two more children, but they are gone to glory. Mrs. Beauvais is preposeessing in" appearance, nnd her cold black eyes snapped liko coals of flro when sho volunteered her side of the story, which will bo Hie basis of her defente when sho fllcB nn answer to tho petition of that of her husband.

Beforo Mrs. Beauvais began taking chances in tho lottery of matrimonv she wns a Miss Mary U. Phillips, and if her life is spared her until tlio last day of noxt mouth, she will be just thirty-ono years of nge. December 20, 1870, alio was first led to Hymen's shrine by J. T.

Tucker, nt St. Mary's, and two years nfter sho became widow by reason of tho demise of Mr. Tucker. In sere nnd vcllow September. 1882, John Luthur, "who had won tho heart and hand ol tho young widow, mndo her Mrs.

Luthur. Tho pair lived rather stormy and tcinpestous existence for six which it is represented Mr. Luthur spent in calculating by actual consumption how inncli whiskey he could destroy nnd whipping and maltreating his wife. Mrs. Luthur finally wearied of her associations with that gentleman, nud one fine day bundled herself and children off to the protecting affectionato care of her mother who was then living at Rock-wood, Illinois.

It was ut Rockwood that tho much abused wife met and waa introduced to her present husband. Tho meeting was at a party held in 1888, and a sort of mutual admiration seems to have sprung up between the pair. The love-making bad on February 12, 1889, readied that stage that the then Mr. Luther was prompted to apply for divorce from hor drunken and brutal husband, and thirty days after the court granted her a legal release from Luther. It seems that she was encouraged to appeal to tho divorco court by Beauvais, who promised to marry her as soon as she was legally free, and the following June tho two, by an understood agreement, met nt a trysting place and travelled together to Raton, N.

M. Here the pair lived, seemingly apart, tho woman preparing Beauvais' meals for him and caring for his children, ono of whom, tlio boy, is described to bo subject to fits, and hard to manage. Affairs went on in this way until September of tho samo year, when tho pair emigrated to San Diego, taking with them a babe, tho result of the fiason, that was born a few months before. The Raton tactics wero kept up in San Diego, and in May, 1891, the woman went to Perry county, Missouri, taking with her the baby. Sho remnined there until Octo ber, when she came to Phoenix, where Beauvais made good his long deferred promise, and made her his lawful wife.

Now according to Mrs. Beauvais, she is not altogether to blame for the family trouuio. enumerates her woes by saying that Beauvais commenced the cruelty by making her sign, under threats, that ho would not marry her unless sho did, a voucher depriving her of all interest in his accumulated wealth and real estate and allowing her only ten per cent of what he might become possessor of by their marriage. His next outburst of ungallantry is described when lie objected to her accepting an invitation to attend a ball given by a Mrs. Rhodee, and this on November 1, was repeated when upon being asked whero he was going by his spouse he firmly informed her "it was nouo of her business." Mrs.

Beauvais was of the opinion that it was her business, and drovo away in tlie vehicle which her husband proposed using. Sho says sho remained away until after dark, and upon her return Beauvais again informed her it was none of her business whero ho was going. Then struggle took place between them for the horse and buggy, Beauvais coming out victorious. This is the affair of which Beauvais speaks of in bis complaint, nnd the woman describes it as follows "He came homo from that dance about 1 o'clock. I let himtin, and we quarrelled he cursed and said lie would go to chippy bouses, or where he pleased.

1 told him lie never treated his first wifo right, and had punished me for threo years, and that I would punish him now. lie had two shotguns, two rifles and a revolver in his pocket. I had nothing but a piece of dry goods box about an inch wide. In trying to forco tho door he caught mv knee in the door, and hurt mo eo 1 could hardly walk. 1 blew out the lamp through a crack in the door, and then went around to the windhw, but did not break in.

I only broke tho door knob off. lie had a ten bushel box full of stuff against the door, and I heard him loading a pistol. When he got out he took tho guns ty the barn to hide them, and he threatened to shoot me. I borrowed a revolvea from Mrs. Rhodes after we parted, but sent it back to her when I heard he was afraid of me, and got little girl to atay with me." Regards her destroying her husband's personal adornments and other property, Mrs.

Beauvais says she only destroyed ono silk handker'shief, some naughtv pictures, and the family record because ho would not enter therein the date of their marriage and birth of their child. Beauvais still provides for the woman and children, and yesterday she says he gave her tho munificent sum of ten cents, split somo wood for her and sent her some medicine.
