FALL RIVER. Mass, Aug. 8.-Ihe latest
development in the Borden murders re-
lating particularly to the theory of poison
ing. has given way to-day to the talk o. the
1unesai. which took place this morning.
Miss l. zzie and Miss Emma Borden were
OF course the principal -mourners. The
latest clue beng followed involves camp
Of gypsy-lookiny horse traders camped on
the outskirts, one of whom answers the de.
scriptiors given by three persons of man
seeh near the Borden house before the
murder. =
An important fact in connection with the
murder was developed to-day. An hour
or more alter the murder was discovered
two oi the officers dispatched to the scene
undertook to make search of the house.
They looked over the hrst floor to some ex-
tent and then started up stairs. Lizzie Bor.
den became aware OF their efforts, and as
they. reached the door OF her room she
stepped boldly In front OF the officers and
refused to let them into her room. The
frst thorough search Of the Borden resi-
dcnce was made this afternoon while the
funeral was in progress. From 2 O'clock
until $50 the most Sc .rching Investigation
was made Of every detail discovered since
Inc crime was peipatrated. The search
through the house WAS expected to develop
many things, but at Z O'clock to- night IL
was stated officially that no clinchinr evil

HOPE NEARLY GONE.

ernor Interferes.

ernor Interferes.
MEMPHIS Aug. 9.-There are possibly
two anchors OF hope for Col. H. Clay King,
but it is probable that one Of these has been
cut away. His friends may have recourse
to the United States supreme court but
from the action Of the attorneys, and also
from the opinion that application was
made to the supreme court for writ of
error be.ore the steps were takeu in the
federal court in Nashville, it is thought
that this avvnne of escape from
the gallows is closed, and that the friends
of King have only one more road leading
from death from the rope, and John P.
Buchanan holds the gate across it. None
o: his riends are so sanguine as to hope Tor
Col. Kings pardon by the governor. bat
his friends and the lawyers are trying to
secure commutation OF his sentence to
Ii imprisonment. Judge Greer left for
Nashville tonight with batch Of petitions
to lay before the governor and this morn
ing Hon. c. B. Mitchell, of counsel
for King, visited the Jail and spent
half an hour with the condemned
prisoner. Col. King was in better spirits
after the departure OF Col. Mitchell, and
the lawyer gave out the in Ormation that
he had great hopes that Col. King would be
ps rmitted to spend the rest OF his DAYS in
the penitentiary. He will probably leave
Tor Nashville tonight. In the meantime
the construction Of the scaffold will be
commenced on Wednesday in the jail yard.
The death watch will be placed on Col.
King Tomorrow or next day.

GOMpERS' THREAT.

Boycott. Carnegie's steel.
New York, Aug 8 president Samuel
Gompers, of the American Federation OF
Labor, said to-day it was more than likely
that the American Federation of Labor, co.
600 strong. would boycott the steel made
by Andrew Carnegie at Homestead and 9TH
er places. This means that every employer
who used Carnegie steel will be blacklisted
and the union men in his employ will be
called out OH strike. 1t W II practically
paralyze big building operations all over
the country if what Mr.. Gompers says act
ually comes to pass. 1t will put stop to
railroad building, as the Carnegie works
manu- acture large pant Of the steel rails

to all government buildings. Mr.. Gompers
said:

NOTHING more plainly illustrates
that the girl Of the period is partial
to things antique than her persistent
fondness for the long-trained skirt. It
is found on investigation that this
abominable costume was invented
first in England by Annie, queen Of
Richard H., nearly fivehundred years
ago. This was probably the first
street cleaning apparatus to be invent
cd. This same queen should also be
blamed for the large hats, those Of
abonormal size, with great daring
brims. intimate relatives OF our
theater bonets now in vogue. Surely
this estimable woman had much to be
responsible for. .~.-

CAPRIVI WILL RESIGN.

Such q Rumor Given Publicity by
Berlin Iaper.
BERLIN, Aug. 9.-Klein's Journal gives
currency to a report, as yet unconfirmed by
official or 'senli-official authority, that
Chancellor .privi is about to res gn owing
to differences Of opinion with the kaiser as
to the Bismarck crisis, and that frince
Hatz:eldt- Wildenburg. now the German
ambassador to Great Britain, will be his
successor. Although the statement is un-
confirmed, it is known that there has been
a radical difference between the kaiser and
Caprivi as to dealing with Bisnarck's
recent ut:erances, Caprivi urging that
Bisnal OK should be prosecuted and the
kaiser resolving to take no notice Of the
matter. Caprivi has not been entirely sat
istied since the kaiser's change of i1ont on
the education bill which led to Caprivi's
resignation oi the Office OF the Prussian
premier while he retained the post OF im-
perial chancellor. It is said that the inau-
ence OF Count Won Gutenberg, who sue
ceeded Caprivi as premier, has been grow
ing and that von Gutenberg had a great
deal to do with urging the kaiser to adopt
policy OF patience and tolerance toward
Bismarck. All these things have tended to
make Caprivi uncom Portable, and whether
he has or has not resigned as chancellor, it
is generally believed that he will not hold
the post much longer.

Deacon Will Bring q Criminal and q
Civil Suit Against Hid Wife.
PARIS. Aug. 9.-Deacon's case has been
postponed until October. The public
prosecutor has refused to intervene in the
case saying that Mr.. Deacon had better lay
the affair before the court himself The
attorney general alleges that the.e is not
sufficient grounds to presume adultery of
Mrs. Deacon. The question was not SUBJ
mitted at the trial OF Mr.. Deacon at Nice,
which resulted in a verdict OF guilty against
Deacon ior killing NJ. Abeille. whom he
caught in his wiie's room at Cannes, and
his sentence OF one years Imprisonment.
M. Deacon, it will be recalled, said that he
would not take action against his wife
under the French criminal law, contehting
himself with procuring divorce from her.
He had taken the children from his wife's
custody and it was her attempt to regain
possession OF them by legal means that
caused Mr.. Deacon to change his mind and
led him to institute proceedings against her
for adultery.
