 Letter to Her Sister.


 FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 25.-A new feature of the Borden case is a letter which Lizzie wrote to her sister Emma the Tuesday before the murder. The first knowledge of this letter came out at Lizzie's examination at the inquest. In reply to the question, Had you ever noted any suspicious persons about the house on the day of the tragcdy2" she said she did not on that day, but had on the Monday before, and had written ac- count of the incident to her sister, Emma Borden.
 Inquiry showed that on Wednesday Emma did get a letter from Lizzie, in which the latter refers to noticing d man in the back yard just as she opened the side gate. He disappeared on discovering her.
 After entering the house, Lizzie wrote, she was so dist urbed over what she had seen that she went to a window in her room commanding thes back yard and watched. Emma Borden showed this let ter to friends in Fair Haven, with whom she was visiting when she received it, and then destroyed 1t.

There is hardly one who is not bright, entertaining and conversational, and the idea of treating these charming creatures in the way one would m ordinary waiter is clearly out of the question.

There have been manyitimes in the
Jay Gould, coming suddenly, might
have precipitated a crash in the
business world, possibly affecting dis
astrously many of his own financial
investments. But to him at least
was given ample notice of his ap-
preaching dissolution and he evi-
IDENTIFY improved the opportunity thus
afforded him to put his affairs in such
order that the announcement of his
death in the various money centers
OF the country yesterday produced
only ripple of passing interest in
the minds of men TO whom it nigh
once have brought surprise ana ter

Jay Gould was a financial prodigy.
N0Other term will fitIy describe man
who, before he reached the age OF u
years, had been by turns a hardware
merchant. surveyor, banker and
the founder OF town, TO which he
had given his name. Remarkable as
his youth NAV have been, however, it
was net till his genius had been trans
planted to Wall street that it reached
its widest field OF development. The
atmosphere of that street. which has
blighted SO many lives, was at once
congeniality and nourishment to him.
His career there is easily the most
extraordinary of all the histories
made in Wall street, as the fortune
he leaves is easily the greatest and
most substantial of all the accumu-
lations OF wealth gathered there.
With the same energy and endeavor
and with different practices Jay Gould
might have made tor himself not
only abundant riches but respected
and honored name. As il is the
wealth which is his no longer is the
only heritage he leaves in which his
heirs can take pride. For his
methods of business were vicious.
He made war on every man who was
we aker In financial sense than him
self. The stronger ones he sought to
deceive, and he frequently succeeded.
He trusted no human being In busi-
ness matter His own brokers did not
share his condolences, for he confded
in nobody.
There is nothing in that portion of
his life which belongs TO the public to
be recommended to the youth OF the
country as worthy OF admiration or
emulation Humanity was not con-

STAYING without.

Murter one Of the early German
travellers through further India, de-
scrlbes a village to which he came in
the intense heat of summer day.
1T was peopled only by the lowest
castes, who dwelt in sitting little
huts, intolerable through filth and
~ermin. The wretched people passed
their time in idleness, with heavy,
sullen faces, moving slowly about as
though the weight of their poverty
was more than they could bear.
In the center OF the village rose a
magnificent Buddhist temple. 1t had
fallen into ruin, but within were cool
ness and shade, and lofty domes COW
cred with wonderful carvings, on
which were told Ghe most sacred mys-
teries OF the ancient faith.
None of the people ever entered
this temple, either to crafty their
curiosity or fer the sake OF shelter
from the pitiless heat Even when
thunderstorm broke over the village
they crept into their sitting huts.
The temple stood vacant and neg
lected.
They had a superstitious fear OF It,
and preferred their own grimy degra-
dation to its sublime mysteries

HALF A MILLION IN ASHES.
Sig Wholesale House In Brooklyn Totally
DESTROYED by Fire.

Destroyed by Fire.
The five-story brick building at the
.orner OF Flushing avenue and Ryerson
street, Brooklyn, owned and occupied by
VIM. G. A. Jurgens. wholesale grocer,
was destroyed by fire, with several Of the
adjoining buildings on either side. The
loss will probably foot up to nearly
$500, 900. The Jurgens building was
heavily stocked with -four and holiday
goods. The fire spread TO the buildings
on either side of the big store. and a
special alarm brought more engines. It
was feared that the entire block would
go, as the high wind was carrying large
brands for half a block. The three
story building at 244 Flushing avenue.
owned and occupied as a saloon and
dwelling by Henry Beemier, and the
building next to 1t, owned and occupied
by George Tietjen, also liquor dealer,
were both almost totally destroyed. The
fremen worked hard, but against great
odds, owing to the high wind and in
tense heat. There are number OF ten
ement houses on the Hall street side OF
the block, and three of these caught
fire. All of the families were removed
TO places of safety, some OF them being
sheltered at the Flushing avenue sta
lion. The buildings burned until day
light, when there WAS nothing left but
the smoldering ruins. Mr.. Jurgens says
the loss will be about $150,000 on the
buildings and $250,000 on the stock,
fully covered by insurance. 1t Is be-
lieved by the police that the fire was in
cendiary, and Thomas McCann, who
was found in the building shortly after
the fire started, has been arrested on
suspicion
