Pirrspcra, Pa., June 16.—This morning Judgments and executions were filed in the prothonotary’s office against the Duquesne Tool Works Company for $350,000. An exact statemont of the accounts cannot at this time be obtained. It is etated that nearly the entire debt of the company is included in tho judgment. This is secured by tho property of the company. The failure is caused by gen- eral depression in business. Threo judgments aggregating $200,800 were eniered by W. A. Dunshee and one for $127,522 by the Tyrone Iron Company. “The works have one of the most com- ete pipe plants in the country, It has Been in operation five years and covers twenty acres of ground at Duquesne. ten miles above Pittsburg, on the Monongahela river. The property estimated to be worth $100,000, ‘exclusive of the, machinery. ‘The value of the plant is $350,000. Dunshee, the Pittsburg attorney, is anh Jeni of the company.

PRESIDENT CARNOT’S ILLNESS Hatchet Excluded. New Bepronp, Mass., June 16.—There was lesa of a crowd at the court house this morning at the resumption of the Borden trial than there has been at any timo since the beginning of the trial, although the air is delightfully cool in- sido and fans have been retired. ‘Among the early visitors was Miss Emma jt | Borden, who is, it ie understood, to be called by the defense, although she was down as o government witness. Miss Lizzie told Gov. Robinson as be greeted her this morning that she had not passed restless night, and the intimation came, with a chooring smile, that she would feel better by and by. The decision relative to the admission of the evidence of the Portuguese who saw the man with the bloody hatchet was in order the first thing this morning, and after the jury had beon polled counsel entered into @ consultation with the justices upon some points which the latter dosiro made more clear. Following this the court said it was clear that the evidence offered on the head above referred to could not be admitted, and Mr. Jennings de- mred exceptions noted, at the same time stat- ing that he would put in writing just what he had intended to show. After several unimportant witnesses had tes- tified Mra, Mary R. Holmes, a neighbor and member of the church which Miss Borden at- tended, was called to the stand, Sho tostified: “I know Miss Borden and have known who sho was from childhood; I have seen Miss Lizzie and her stepmother at church together; I first heard of the Borden murder at 11:45; I went to the house about 1 o'clock and sat down in the | an kitchen; somo one told zie would like to see me: and some men were talking oe ~ fs sae Officer Fi the door because there were so many men about that we did not want them to come in the room.” District attorney—“i beg your honor’s par- don, but I think this is overstepping.” Witness—Excuse me, but I sm not used to the busineus aud I expect to overstep. [Laugh- ter]. “Tbe. Bowen,” witness continued, “shut the @oor after he came in, and when Fieet came he opened it to wee who it was. I knew the doctor wonld not lot him in until sulted us. When Fleet came in he asked Lizzie somo questions, and Lizzie said she wished he would be quick about it, for she was very tired, having answered ‘a great many questions.” She told about going to the barn and looking after the lead. ‘Then the of- ficera proceeded to search the room and had Lizzie's free consent, and they made what I should call a thorough search. I should think they wore in the room talking and searching half an hour. All the time Miss Lizzie was lying down. I remained in the house until Witness was asked as to Lizzio's conduct over her father’s body on the day of the funeral, but this was objected to on the part of the government and withdrawn. Question as to whether she went down to look at hor father’s body before the funeral was ob- jocted to, but the court, assuming the question to be preliminary, allowed it to be answered, witness answering the affirmative. Witness was asked what Miss Liz- zie did when she went down into the room, and this was objected to, Thereupon ‘the chief justice calied counsel to the desk for consultation, the rosult of which was that the << was changed to “At this time, when ie was viewing her father, did she shed teara?" ‘The answer was “yes.” Witness continuing said: “When I arrived there Lizzie had pink and white striped Fon.” dress shown in court was produced again a Witness sald Liszie bad it of Friday mera- ing and she thought on Saturday. Miss Lizzie was to go to Marion, but did et ge with the party. T remember the publication of the quarrel story. After it was published I bad a talk with Mrs. Reagan about it. She «poke to me about it. She said: ra. Holm you kuow/ it is not so, for that was the time we were | talking about the eggs.’ It was on Friday this occurred. I remember a time after the conversation, the same, I thinkit was, when 1 was sitting in the matron’s room when some gentlemen came and talked with Mrs. Reagan. She went out and eame back, seeming quite disturbedt, She went by me and sat down, saying nothing tome. I heard nothing of the conversation between her and the men before they all went out. There was some con- vereation between twr and Mrs. Brigham, but I cannot recail it. [heard Mrs. Reagan say she would sign the papers if Marshall Hilliard was | willing. This was to the gentleman who camo in, and she said it just before she went out of the room. A recess was taken at 11 o'clock for five min- utes, ‘The flower program was somewhat cl at rocéss by the receipt by ox-Gov.

Holmes testified that Matron Reagan told Mr. Buck that the denial of the ‘You-gave-me-away” story was true and that she would sign it if the marehal did not object. Joun Kt. Culdwell, reporter, testified that Marshal Hilliard told Mre, Reagan if she agned the denial of the “‘You-gave-me-away” story it would be against his express orders, Mary E. Brigham testified that Matron Reagan eaid about the story: “It is all a lie, from beginniug to end. I was willing to sign that paper, but the marsbal would not let me.” EMMA BORDEN DENIES THE CONVERBATION. Miss Emina Borden was next called. She denied absolutely the ‘You-gave-me-away” story, and swore that no quarrel took place be- tween the sisters nm Matron Reagan's room, Mr. Knowlton cross-examined her reference to family relations. Emma testified that her father's gift of the house to her stepmother made trouble between Lizzie and the stepmother and Lizzie ceased to call her ‘mother’ and called her Mrs, Border but for two or three years before the murd the relations between Lizzie and Mra, Borden were entirely cordial. And if she had testified to the contrary at the preliminary hearing that was untrue, THE BURNED DRESS INCIDENT. Miss Emma testified that Lizzie’s New Boa- ford cord dress was soiled by paint. One day Emma went to the closet to hang up a dress, but found no nail. The soiled dress was in the closet, und rhe said to Lizzie, “You have not destroyed that old dress yet; why don't you | © do 80?” Shortly afterward Lizzie destroyed the dress.

VALENTINE, NeB., June 16.—George Jones of the cowboy racers arrived here at 7 last even- ing, lending all other contestants by two houra. At 9 o'clock Douglas and Elmores rode into the city. About the same time the majority of the others passed a few miles south of this ee ‘The horses of those who took: os es not appear to be at all winded, and the race = continued before midnight. Dariog the heat of the day the riders made four miles an hour, but at night they are nearly doubling that pace.

Nothing has as yet occurred to interfere with ter he had con- | the race and no attempt has been made to cause any arreste, BURNED DURING COMMENCEMENT. Comtral Wesleyan College at Warrenton, Mo., Destroyed by Fire. Warrexton, Mo., June 16.—At 10 o'clock last night the dormitory of the Central Wes- leyan College was discovered on fire. An slarm ‘was promptly sounded, but the flames made such headway that in less than an hour the building was in ruins. It was a comparatively new building and cost $14,000. Its contents were valued at about $10,000. At the time the fire was discovered fully 1,200 people were in the collegs hall in attend- ance on the commencement exercises. That a panic did not ensue was due to the presence of mind of the presiding officer, who quietly had the doors locked separating the hall from the burning portion and allowing the audience to make their exit calmly and safely. Several persons wore injured by falling tim- bers while attempting to extinguish the blaze. The electric Tights were shut off to prevent accident, leaving the city in darkness. ft. Kerster, Deere theology, fell from the buildings and broke both logs, besides sustaining internal injuries. > -— PRESIDENT CARNOT WORSE.
