THE EVENING ' YA STAR: WASHINGTON. D. C. THURSDAY. AUGUST 25 1892. QUARRELS THE KORDEN HOME. Lizzie Said to Have Shown Much Antipathy to Her Stepmother. ‘The preliminary hearing of Miss Lizzie A. Borden, who is accused of killing her father, Andrew J. Borden, and her stepmother, was set for today at Fall River. The hearing was post- poned Monday at the request of District At- torney Knowlton. It ix said that Bridget Sul- livan. the servant employed at the Borden household, had long before the tragedy made the statement to her associates that there was a constant warfare going on in the Borden home. Mrs. Borden and her stepdaughters, Bridget says, were on anything but pleasant terms with each other, although Mrs. Borden tried in every way to establish pleasant relations. Miss Lizzie, the girl declares. showed more an- tipathy toward the stepmother than did her ter. Sullivan divulged a great deal of important formation of this character and furni« government grounds on which to base the theory of # motive. Another new feature of the case is a letter which Miss Lizzie wrote to her sister Emma the Tuesday before the mur- der. The first knowledge of the letter came ‘out at Mise Lizzie’s examination at the inquest im reply to the question, “Did you notice any suspicious persons about the house on the day of the tragedy?” i i Miss Lizzie said she did not notice suspicious persons on the day, but had on the Monday night before, and had’ written an a t the incident noticed then to her sister Inquiry develops the fact that on Wednesday Miss Emma got « letter from Miss Lizzie, in which Mise Lizzie refers to her anxiety over in- the something which happened on Monday night. When «be was returning home from a call she noticed a man in the back road, just as she opened the gate. He = on diseover- ing her. After entering the house she was 50 disturbed over what she had seen that she went to one of the windows in her room command- ing the back yard and watched. She saw a man who looked the one she had seen already moving about. It was quite dark and she could not give any description of him. Miss Emma Borden showed the letter to friends in ir Haven whom she was visiting when she received it, and then she destroyed it. She says it also turns out that the letter which ‘Miss Lizzie Borden sent to Marion friends, and which was received by them on the day of the murder, was also destroyed. because it con- tained ‘reference to something which, in the opinion of the young woman to whos: it was sent, might. in the light of subsequent events, be misconstrued. WHY LIZZIE BORDEX 18 HELD. A special dispatch to the New York World from Fali River, Mass. in regard to the case of Lizzie Borden says that Marshal Hilliard de- clared that the assumption of the defense that the postponement was an indication of weak- ness is wrong. “The experts are not ready, it is true,” he said, “but I know that Mr. Knowlton is satistied to present his case to the court, and he was yes- | terday. Miss Borden was arrested on strong suspicion, backed by strong circumstantial evi- dence. If she cannot be held on that evidence we are perfectly willing to see her released. “It was with great reluctance that we were compelled to take her into custody. The mur- ders were committed by some one and the in- crimiating circumstances centered about her. “The public demanded the arrest of the murderer, and because the prisoner in custody isa woman and the daughter of the persons who were killed some of the public howl. That's always the wa; “(Is she in your custody now or that of the sheriff of the county?” “he isin mine. Until the court turns her over to the sheriff she will remain in mine. At present she is a person beld under suspicion only, not yet having had a triai.” “[ notice that the warrant on which she was arrested, and which was eworn to by you, accuse her of the murder of Andrew J. Borden only and does not mention Mrs. Borden. Why “The reason is simple. If a man bad com- mitted twenty burglaries he would be held for one at first, but on his trial all the evidence against him would be produced and the grand fury would indict on all the charges.” “Then, while you base your case against Lizzie on the murder of her father you expect to-sliow also that she killed Mrs, Borden?” “The evidence in one case will include the other. The plain presumption is, of course, that both people were killed by the same per- eon.” “Why was the murderer of the man selected ‘im preference to that of the woman, who, the doctors declare, was evidently killed first?” “You will have to ask the district attorney. He drew up the warrant and made the choice for his own reason.” e It is apparent, however, that the danghter is charged with the murder of her father only, be- cause she discovered his body while the biood was still trickling from his frightful wounds, and beca: was the last perscn to see and talk to him. In discussing the strange affair today a local lawyer, who has known the Bordens since boy- hood, expressed great admiration for the self- possesion of Lizzie Borden in the position in Which she has been placed. “It seems hardly possible,” he said, “that a woman who had committed such crimes could maintain the demeanor borne by Lizzie all+ along. If guilty an ordinary woman would protest her innocence and show signs of her ‘ar of being accused. If innocent she should scarcely bear up under the weight of the out- rage upon her. “Am ordinary person would some 5 aha og ship ego this, She hax shown no fea ap- peared to resent « supposed outrage; she has pealed to her friends. There is come reason for her marvelous composure, for Lizzie Borden is not insane. That is, Icannot think her so. The reason must be ‘an all-powert +The rock that sustains knowledge of the murd She knows who butchered her parents. That guilty kuowledge is her strength. “Vieurious guilt, borne with the conviction that the person's guilt cannot be proved and based on some strong personal motive for eon- cealment, is an impregnable bulwark for @ secret. “Now, then, why should should she want to conceal thi: slayer of her parents?

Grand Master Sweeney of the Switchmen’s Order Throws Up the Sponge. The atrike of switchmen at Buffalo was de- | clared off at midnight last night by Grand | Master Sweeney, head of the switchmen’s order. The strike was inaugurated twelve days ago. | The beginning of the end of what was until | last Sunday an glmost general strike of switch- men in the Buffalo railroad yards was marked by Mr. Sweeney's appeal to the heads of other orders of railway workers to meet him in con- ference. ‘The evident fact that the companies | had resumed the natural conduct of their busi- ness without the men who had left their employ | with Mr. Sweeney's sanction pressed home to | the grand master the conviction that his local | followers had become no longer striking switch- j men, but only idle men. Their leader was brought to see by daily developments in the ards that if his men were saved at all some er beyond his resources or theirs must be \ WITHOUT FUNDS. At this point the fact should be stated which has not before been made public as one of the hampering conditions which entered into the roblem Mr. Sweeney bad set himself to solve. The finances of his order are exceedingly lim- The organization is without a reserve and | without money. The leader, who has been try- ing here to win against the railroads, has found how necessary is a bank account in an organized effort of iabor for the establishment of new con- ditions which are not acceptable to railroads with a big money reserve. Thus at the close of last week, with the physi- jeal fact of renewed traffic movement by the | railroad confronting him and without a bank account at his command, Mr. Sweeney knew that his cause was lost. He turned, as a last resort, toward the other organizations of rail- | ited. | road workers, and his invitations to Messrs. Vilkinson and Lhurs- Sargent, Clark, Arthur, W ton were the visible indica men m:ust confess defeat without fraternal aid. Before noon yesterday each of these labor leaders. save Messrs. Arthur and Thurston, were in the city. Already Mr. Surgent had in- formed My. Sweeney that the firemen would not come ont unless the men of all the other rail- way orders also co-operated. Mr. Wiikinson, © trainmen’s chief, had uot met Mr. Sweeney | since their memorable meeting at Terre Haute Jand his aid could scarcely be reckoned upon | other than grounds of absolute justice to his own men, while Mr. Clark of the conductors bad already stated that the men of his order bad no grievances of their own. Such was the situation when, at 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the last day of the strike. three men uscended the stairs of the Hotel Broozel and proceeded | toward room 18, which i at the end of a quict | hallway on the first floor and overlooking the depot und passenger yards of the New York Central. TUE CONFERENCE IN THE AFTERNOON. Arriving at room 18, which was that occupied py Mr. Sargent of the firemen, Mr. Sargent | received them at the threshold, ushered them | in and closed and bolted the door. | from within aiso shut the transom. There was tle formality in the procedure of conference. ney was asked at once to set forth the position in which he and his men were placed. He did so at length and in detail. At the conclusion of ir. Sweeney's statements Mr. Sargent reiterated what he had ulready stated—that his men would | not go out on n sympathetic strike unless ail | railway organizations did so. If this was a case which demanded that a general issue should be made by all organized railway labor, then he would be in the line with his firemen. Mr. Clark stated that the conduetors had no grievance, and {bat while they believed the de- mands of the switchmen were just, there would be uo strike of conductors tnless to redress wrongs to themselves. Mr. Wilkinson, for the trainmen, informed the switchmen’s leader that he felt the original demands of the switchmen were fair if ever | any demands were just, but his order could not | consent to co-operation by asympathetic strike. These statements having been made, Mr. | Sweeney bad received his ultimatum.” The |conference broke up. and all except Mr. | Sweeney strolled together down the broad staircase to the lobby. ADVISED BY COMMISSIONER DONOVAN. After leaving the conference Mr. Sweeney went to the rooms of Arbitration Commissioner Donovan and informed him of the result of the conference. “In view of the reeult of the con- ference and of mine with railroad officials I recommend to you that the strike be declared off and thereby secure areturn to work of as y men as possible,” said Mr. Donovan. ceney was undecided, and after a I discussion, in which the whole situation was re- viewed, and Mr. Sweeney bad stated that he vas not beaten and could yet cripple all the trunk lines between New York and Chicago, he finally decided that the suggestion of the com- missioner and the recommendation of the heads of the labor organizations during the confer- that the most advisable thing to do was to | leclare the strike off were wise, and promised to do so. STRIKING SWITCHMEN ARRESTED. ichael McNamara, the leader of the strikers Sayre, Pu., was arrested at Waverly, N. Y., sterday. Floyd Smith, another of the strik- | | ing switchmen, ‘as also arrested. The charge | against Simith was unlawfully meddling with the | coupling between two Philadelphia and Reading |cars. McNamara pleaded not guilty to the | | charge and gave 1,000 to appear for an ex- | j amination today. Afier release he was | again arrested at Sayre and required to give an additional 1.009 bail. Smith also pleaded not guilty and his bond was fixed at €1,000 to ap- | pear Friday. CHIEF ARTHUR IN CLEVELAND. Inquiry at Cleveland at the office of Chief | Arthur of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- | gineers developed the fact that E. 8. Clark of | | the Order of Railway Conductors and | | Wilkinson of the Order of Railway Trainmen | did not stop off at Cleveland to consult him. | Chief Arthur is in expectation of a call to North | | Carolina to attend to matters of dispute be- | tween the engineers and the officials of the Cape Fear and Yadkin railway, and for that reason, it | is stated. he could not at’ the present time visit Buffalo in compliance with the request of Mr. | Sweeney. coe — Mr. Gladstone Not to Retire. | In response to inquiries as to the truth of the |rumor mentioned by the London Chronicle | | yesterday to the effect that Mr. Gladstone would retire from office in the spring, Mr. | Gladstone has telegraphed from Hawarden that the whole story is utterly groundless, Sir William Vernon Harcourt was re-elected | by an increased majority, receiving 6,508 votes | against 1,619 for Farmer Atkinson. In the | recent general election Sir William received | 7.507 votes and his conservative opponent S46. With the exception of Sir William Vernon | Harcourt and Mr. John Morley all the new ministers heve been formally re-lected without opposition, eee More Trouble Threatened in Georgia. The Tennessee board of state prison inspec- tors decided yesterday to return convicts to all the mines from which they were released. This jis tobe done at once. The arrests at Coal | Creek now number nearly 1,000. ‘The Georgia state officers have been busy this week making preparations to meet the threatened attack upon the mines in north Georgia, which employ convicts. state officers do not treat this rumor of an attack very seriosly, they have taken the precautions to notify the military companies at Rome and Dalton, which are nearest to the scene, to be necessary there. Officers of Atlanta companies have been notified that they, too, may be needed. Z - coe A Gamey Young Man. J. Nelson Beuken, the swell young Philadel- phian,who was brought before Jefferson Market court, New York, the other day on the charge of deserting his wife, Mary, for bis pretty sis- ter-in-law, was held by the same ete day with a man uamed Beckman in $1,500 bail on the charge of larceny.

It Was Exemplified Before the Supreme Lodge Last Night. Yesterday the Supreme Lodge of the world of Knights of Pythias transacted much business at Kansas City. At the morning session the rou- tine business under consideration but not dis- posed of on the first day was taken up. Twelve aspirants for honors of the Supreme Lodge rank were admitted and the rank wus conferred upon them. Chancellor Shaw announced ap- pointments to fill vacancies on several of the standing committees. ‘The most important report was that of the committee on distribution and assignments. ‘To that committee was referred the report and address of the supreme chancellor, and its duty consisted in distributing the different topics to the proper committees. At 11 o'clock the Supreme Lodge resolved itself into a committee of the whole to discuss the report of the com- mittee on rules. At the noon recess the report was not more than half completed, and at the afternoon session it was again taken up. It occupied the attention of the suj body all the afternoon to the exclusion of all other busi- ness. The report is voluminous, treating of changes in the existing rules of interest to Grand Lodge jurisdictions. At night a special session was a. An interesting performance took place which can be _witn only by the officers of the Supreme Lodge—an exemplification of the new ritual. Two years agoa committee of five was ap- pointed to revise the ritual. The committee 18 compoued of Chairman D. F. Gledden of De- troit, past supreme represeniative: Mr. E. E, French of Ornaha, it supreme representative; Mr. Walter B. Ritchie of Lima, Ohio. supreme representative; Mr. Wm. A. Radcliffe of St. Louis, supreme representative, and Mr. R. L. C. White of Nashville, supreme keeper of the records and seal. Since its appointment eight meetings of the committes have been held and its “pertoctod work was shotrn for the first time at Scottish Rite Hall. ‘The new ritual is mainly the work of Mr. Walter B. Ritchie, supreme representative from Ohio. In the revision of the ritual, which’ is one of the most important things to come before the Supreme Lodge at thissession, theentire Pythian world is concerned. The report of the com- mittee was not finally acted upon. OFFICERS TO DE CHOSEN. The Supreme Lodge today will elect officers for the coming two years. Supreme Chancel- lor Shaw, who has ruled the order for two years, will retire with the honorary title of past ‘supreme chancellor. He has had all the honors of the order. He wili be succeeded by M William Worth Blackwell of Kentucky, now preme vice chancellor. A long-established precedent has made the office of supreme vice chancellor guarantee of promotion to the office of supreme ruler. For supreme vice Ritchie of Lima, Obio, supreme representative from his state, and Mr. Eli T. Blackmer of San Diego, Cal., supreme prelate of the Supreme Lodge, are candidates. Supreme Inner Guard M. C. Barkwell of Wyoming and Supreme Representative J. H. Lyon of Kansas are candidates for the office of preme master at arms, now held by Mr. Mor- rison of Nevada. The supreme keeper of rec- ords and seals and the supreme muster of the exchequer will be their own successors. ‘TRE PYTHIAN SISTERS. ‘The Supreme Temple of the Pythian Sisters held a short session. ‘The supreme chief, Mrs. Ida M. Weaver, delivered the biennial address, giving « review of reports of other chief offi- cers. Mrs. M.D. Wood, supreme mistress of records and correspondence, reported that the order now has a membership of 18,000, the in- crease in the last nine months baving been 7,000. Supreme Mistress of Finance Miss Emma B. Bacon of Canton, Ohio, presented her report, showing a balance in the treasury of £13,900. ESTION. The Sentiment of the Pope Expressed in a Letter by Cardinal Ledochowski. Adispatch from Rome says: Cardinal Le- dochowski has sent off lis letter on schools to the American bishops apropos of the Faribault and Stillwater incident. ‘The holy see, the let- ter sayy, wishes uniformity of episcopate action, and, above all, the end of all dissension. He is keenly preocenpied with the subject of Catholic children frequenting in large numbers the state schools, In the cases of Faribault and Stillwater the practical and intelligent action of Archbishop Ireland had assisted the holy see to seize the points of the matter and advise the American episcopacy thereon in a manner cal- culated to promise uniformity of policy. All the xcholastic future of the American church now depends directly on the American episcopacy. For the holy see, solicitous for the pacification of the United States, in which Leo XII has a passionate personal interest, wishes almost at any price that the dissensions on the school question should be closed and that the church, at peace with the state, should ursue its work of spreading the light of re- iigion. The holy see believes the hour has come to aftirm, both as regards general rules and their practical applications, what is best to be done upon the scholastic questions in their ensemble. In thix respect the incident with which Mgr. Ireland has been so prominently associated will have its value as a complete chart bearing upon school relations. Bishop Keune, rector of Washington University, has visited Cardinal Ledochowski at Lucerne. soe 2 The Hot Spell in Europe. Many deaths from sunstroke were reported yesterday in Berlin, where the thermometer registered 89 degrees inthe shade. ‘The heat in east Prussia wes more intense. The mercury rose to 95 dey in Thorn and five deaths were reported there due to the heat. The fruit and vegetable crops have been ruined. Fifty soldiers were prostrated by the heat in Dantsic yesterday. ‘Ihe thermometer indicated 100 de- grees at Homburg, and three persons died there the effects of the heat. The situation in Charlottenburg is becoming serious. of water is failing, and the water is becoming unfit for drinking. Twelve houses were destroyed by fire at Rintein in conse- uence of scarcity of water. At Vienna yester- ey the mercury resched. over 100 degrees in the shade.

Glad- stone, McCarthy and Dillon: First, that the present land legislation shall not be disturbed for five years; second, that tire police and justi- ciary shall be in the hands of the Dublin parlia- ment; third, that the balance of the Irish church fund shall be at the disposal of the Irish legisla- ture; fourth, that the English receiver general of the bill of 1886 be dispensed with: fifth, that, on the other hand, there shall be only one cus- toms department, and that the Irish parliament shall not have power to levy separate dutios; sixth, that the otly veto shail be the royal veto’ to be exercised on the advice of the English ministry; seventh, that thirty Irish members shall be retained at Westminster. The Chronicle believes that Mr. Gladstone abandoned with great reluctance the idea of a receiver general, in deference to the wishes of the YcCarthyites. ——-__+90___— To Arbitrate a Labor Dispute.

Precautions Taken at American Ports to ‘Keep Out the Scourge. A Hamburg dispatch says: Eighty onses of cholera were reported at Altona yesterday, in- cluding three cases of Asiatic cholera. Some of tho business men of this city are afraid to use the public telephones, fearing contagion from the transmitter. Otherwise business proceeds asusual. The city schools were closed the greater part of the day. The police snd saui- tary authorities at a conference yesterday dis cussed the eventual closing of the harbor unless the epidemic speedily subsides. The Nachrich- ten dwells upon the recklessness of the poor in eating unsound fruit and other food when the spread of cholera has already been sufficiently favored by the intensely hot weather. In Antwerp yesterday five ;, who were suffering from cholera were admitted to ‘case of the disease, it is declared, has appeared on board a steamer from Ham- ‘burg. The sanitary board has ordered a mort rigorous ins ‘tion of all vessels arriving from Hamburg, the Rhine ports and from France. ‘The doctors were loath to admit that the disease was Asiatic cholera, but they were finally com- pelled to acknowledge that the scourge of the cast had appeared bere, Having officially notified of the pre- valence of cholera in foreign parts the Phila delphia board of health at a meeting yesterday adopted stringent measures to prevent the disease from being introduced into the country through that port. Hereafter all vessels arriv- ing from cholera-infected ports will be detained at quarantine unti) all tl , bedding, &c., of the immigrants aboard have been dis- infected. The steamship Switzerland, from Antwerp, was the first vessel to arrive from an infected port. The quarantine officials found no sick- ness on board, and her 700 passengera were per- mitted to leave the steamer and enter tho station, where they were examined by the im- migration inspector. The baggage and bedding of the people in the hold and steerage quarters were not dis- turbed, and will not be until the port physician and medical inspectors determine in what man- ner the same shall be disinfected. Both of these officials visited the steamer in the afternoon, and will proceed with the work they have on hand as as possible, as fully two-thirds of the immigrants are bound for the west and can- not depart until they secure possession of their baggage. All vessels are to siopat the Dela- ware breakwater for inspection. PRECAUTIONS IN NEW YORK, The quarantine officinls of New York are busy preparing to prevent any importation of chol- era from the infected European ports. Orders have been given by the commissioners to have the fever ship Samuel Carlton ready for hos- pital use in the lqwer bay as oon se required. ere are several vessels due this week from Hamburg, where cholera is now raging. The whips have about 2.000 immigrants aboard. They will be detained at quarantine and thor- oughly examined. ‘ihe French line steam- ship La Touraine, which left Havre last Sun- day, is due on'Saturday. As eholera is re- (eat Havre, the vessel will be duly sub- jected to quarantine regulations on her arrival. Nothing has as yet been done at Ellis Island immigrant station toward preventing the intro- duction of cholera by immigrants, but the physi- cians in charge will keep a sharp lookout for any symptoms among the newly arrived. BOSTON BOYCOTTS RAGS. In view of the rapid spread of cholera in Europe the custom house authorities of Boston yesterday issued an order that no rags shall be landed from any European port until exam- inations are made in each case in order to be assured that they did not come from any cholera-infected district until they were thor- onghly fumigated in a manner prescribed by the departmen A CONFERENCE IN BALTIMORE. There will be a conference in Baltimore today of representatives of the steamship lines enter- ing that port, and Health Commissioner MeShane, Dr. Hutton of the United States marine hospital and Dr. Sidnoy O. Heiskel of the quarantine hospital, to consider means of fumigating and disinfecting freight and pas- sengers. This is in view of the spread of cholera in Europe. HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS. No Suggestion Made There to Transfer Pearl Harbor to Uncle Sam, Advices from Honolulu state that the cabinet is still incomplete, the attorney generalship not being filled. With regard to the annexation of Johnston Island as a territory of Great Britain by HM Champion, the minister of foreign affairs states that the cabinet has not been offi- cially informed of the occupation of Johnston Island, but it is the impression of her majesty’s government that Johnston and Kaluna Islands are still a portion of the Hawaiian government. Not having any official notification of the seiz- ures the Hawaiian government considered it in- advisable to enter a protest, believing that Great Britain, on ascertaining the facts, will withdraw without the necessity of a formal protest. ‘The minister of foreign affairs, replying to the question: “Is the government ‘doing any- thing toward selling or leasing Pearl harbor to the United States?” said that the Hawaiian gov- ernment has never suggested a transfer of any portion of Pearl harbor or any portion of Ha- waiian dominions to any foreign power. In the debate on the passage of the section in the Hawaiian postal savin istry were charged with the present stringency of affairs. Minister Parker said that the pres ent condition of financial distress was due to the McKinley bill.

He missed several easy strokes, and was apparently anxious, not to say worried. Larned, on the other hand, was putting up strong, even tennis, marred only by recklessness now and then. He showed an unusually strong service, and scored many points on aces. Slocum could get but one game in the first set, and though improving somewhat, only three in the second. In the third Slocum continued to improve, and played his strongest game of the match. Larned dropped off perceptibly, and played with increased carelessness. Even then it was difficult for Slocum to win the set, which went to three all before he was able to pull it. The fourth opened like the third, qnd it looked a little as though the ex champion might make the set seven. But it was of no uso. Larned had regained all his best form, while Slo- cum began to drop off. The last part of this set was a repetition of the first two and Slocum was beaten, ‘Shuw and Chase were expected to give a good exhibition, but Chase won three sets with un- expected ease. Shaw is evidently another old- time strong player, whore dey has gone by.

The Lord will care for him then, but it is when he takes a shy with the boys that dangers will surround him. An instance of this kind was related the other day.
