New Revelations in the Liliie Royle NIur-
 der Sensation-Alice's Testimony l1ntir!y
 False-The Mystery Unraveled.
 WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. l5.-The Tele- gram published three column article upon the famous Lillie Hoyle mystery, claiming that the confession of Alice Hoyle which makes Cowie and McQuade the murderers of her sister, is false from beginning to end. A reporter of The Telegram who has been working up the case has ascertained beyond doubt, that Lillie Hoyle died in a certain house in Webster, where she went on the night of Sept. l, 1887. That five persons were present at the time of her death, and that her body was placed i'll barn near by, and concealed for several days beneath pile of grain bags. It remained i'll this place till decomposition had set in to such an extent that the odors were likely to disclose it's hid ing place, when it was placed upon a wire mattress and taken to point .near where it was found
 Three men were engaged in disposing of the body, and they had planned to take it across the meadow and throw it in the river Thinking that team was approaching they concealed themselves and their ghastly bur den beneath the old gable to the corn crib By an accident in taking up the mattress the body slid off into the space where it was found. The courage of the men gave out at this point. and they decided to leave it where it was for the night and return the next night and carry it to the river They crowded it into a corner and went away The Telegram claims to know the names of the five parties who were in the house at the time Lillie died, and also the names of two of the men who disposed of the body It claims the girl was not murdered, but died either while under the influence of chloro- form given to alleviate her sufferings, or else she died from heart disease, at the house whither she had gone to have an operation performed, but before any had been per formed. The autopsy indicated that the i former was the case. The Telegram claims that the governments case has reached the point of collapse, and that the entire collapse is but few days off, inas1nuch as Alice | Hoyle will recant. The old German woman whore testimony as wild as that of Alice Hoyle's story, has disappeared from Webster 1 Cowie was not of the party in the house whel Lillie Hoyle died, nor of the party which dis posed of her body, and there is good reason to believe that McQuaid was not As tht 1 girl was not murdered the men are uniustly imprisoned. The opinion is that the cast against Cowie will never come to trial anc that McQuaid is innocent of the charg, 1 brought against him.

Letters.
 P1TTsBURG, Oct. 15,-There was published in this city a sensational letter from Mr. Powderly, in which he states that Thomas Barry was three months ago bounced from the Knights of Labor executive board, as the result of charges preferred by the district assembly of Toronto.

Powderly says he will make no F bile reply to Barry's speeches and letters, but at the Indianapolis general as sembly he will make a complete statement of the work of the order. He accuses both Barry and Litchman of having been in the order for revenue only, and when they were disap- pointed in that line they were eager to retire.

THE BOY VINO RIsS.

Who wins in any undertakings lie
who starts in with a reSolute determi-
nation TO succeed and sticks TO il. In
everything there are discouragments
and obstacles To be overcome. Apretty
illustration OF this is found in the fol
lowing anecdots: At one of the mills
in the city of Boston a boy was wanted
and piece of paper was tackled on
one of the posts:
Boy wanted. Call at the Office to-
morrow morning"
At the time named there was "A host
of boys at the gate All were admit
ted. but the overseer was IA little per-
perplexed aS To the best way OF choos-
ing one from so many, and he said,
Now boys. when only want one of
you how can ] choose from SO manyy
After thinking a moment, he called
them into the yard, drove a nail into a
tree, and taking short stick, told them
that the boy who could hit the nail
with a stick little distance from the
tree should have the place.
The boys each tried three times and
failed TO hit the nail. They were told
to come again the next morning
When the gate was opened there was
but one boy. who, after being admit
ted, picked up the stick, and throwing
it at the nail, hit it every time.
How is this?' said the overseer
What have YOU been doingy'
And the boy said: "lou see have
mother. and we are very poor ]
have no father, and thought would
like to get the place, and so help all |
can. and after going home yesterday,
drove IA nail into the barn and have
been trying ever since, and have come
down this morning TO try again.
The boy was admitted TO the place.
Many years have passed, and this boy
is prosperous man. His success has
come by perseverance.

COMMERCIAL PROVERBS.

Men who have company must have
money.
Some men carry too much sail, some
too little.
Great men analyzed usually prove
to be very small men.
Men trade on borrowed reputation
as they trade on borrowed capital.
Good intentions will not help "A man
on his way if he takes the wrong road.
The history Of trade shows that fail
ure is the rule, and winning the eX-
ception.
One man is overnice, and becomes
fussy: another is careless, and loses
his trade.
The same great lesson Of failure Is
taught in the profession that is taught
in trade.
One man ruins his business because
he is sloven; another ruins II because
he is a fop.
Men neither win nor lose i'm the same
way. One fails and is smart, another
wins and is dull.
Integrity, honor and piety do not
save a man from disasters il he fails TO
observe the laws Of success.
The law Of success is as certain as
the law Of the tides All must obey
these laws if they would prosper
4 diamond with a flaw is better than
pebble without But the flaw adds
nothing TO the value Of the diamond.
