THE SEQUEL.

She came full chisel to his arms;
Itreally made him stair
To have her make bolt for him
Before he could prepare.
He tried to screw his courage up,
And did his level best
To nail the matter then and there,
While clasped unto her breast.
SAYS he. ut augurs well for me,
Awl seems to hinge on this;
And what is mortise plane to see,
The porch child wants kiss"
He kissed her lip, he kissed her cheek,
And called her his adored-
He dons his clawhammer next week,
And she will share his board.

JUDGE RuMsEY,s DECISION.

The Statement That it VIII Impede the IL.
suance of Election Notices Ridiculed.
ALBANY, Aug. 9. Secretary of State
Rice and his assistants ridicule the idea
that the decision of Judge Rumsey OF
Rochester will impede the issue of
notices to County Sheriffs or County
Judges that the terms Of office of Assem-
blymen expire and that such new ones
shall be elected.
The situation so far as that Office is con-
cerned is contained in the following
statement:
SIN only one county has the Board OF
Supervisors refused to apportion accord
ing to the new law, and that is Monroe.
A notice will be served upon Monroe
county that the term of office of three
Assemblymen expire and must be filed.
Now if the apportionment is declared
void and we go back to the old one the
notice will remain good, for the old appor-
tienmsnt also calls for three Assembly
men.
In other counties where the changes
have been made the Secretary of State
will issue notices in accordance with the
action of the Boards of Supervisors.

do with the boundaries"

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Edward G. Naylor Killed by the Cars a
Hartford.

Edward G. NaylOr Killed by the Cars al
Hartford.
Edward g. Nay1or Of Manchester was
struck and fatally injured by the 6:2O
passenger train on the Consolidated
road at Hartford last evening. Naylor
was one of a number of men going up
the tracks from the shops. He was on
the embankment opposite the old engine
house on his way with his brother and
others to the depot to take the New
England train for Manchester. To
avoid New England freight, Naylor
stepped en- the up track of the CONSOLE
dated in front of the $50 train that was
just coming IN, and was struck before
his brother, who was not far behind,
could warn him of the danger. Both
legs were broken and his skull was
fractured. He died in an hour.
John Conner of 80 Oak street, Wilt
mantle, was struck by a switch engine
at the union depot in Middletown yes
cut off. He was taken to the Middle
town hospital.
The eight year old son of G. w. R.
Taylor of Warehouse Point smokes. He
did it while on a load of hay Saturday
and set the hay on fire. The horse ran,
with excellent reason, for before help
came the hair was all burned off his tail.
The load was tipped over and left to
burn, only the wagon being saved.
What happened to the small boy after
ward may be inferred.
Frank Bersiki of Danbury died to-day
from the effects of a dose of Paris green

PRIZE FIGHT IN UPPER TENDON.


Two swsIls ut Saratoga BelabOr EaoI,
% Other for Two Rounds.
SARATOGA, Aug. 9-The prize fight
yesterday between two scions of society
has created great sensation here. It
took place on the Fair Grounds at Balls
ton Spa.
The principals were Daniel w. Shea of
Boston, Harvard College student and a
member of the Harvard crew and football
team and Sidney Smith of Ballston, the
son Of a wealthy and prominent family.
The men are both fine boxers, and the
match was the result of jealousy.
The party left Saratoga in two tally-ho
coaches at Q o'clock, and drove to Balls
ton. Billy Edwards was referee and Jim
mic Larkins of New York seconded Shea.
The fight was hard one and for blood.
Smith knocked out Shea in the second
round. Shea was badly punished and a
dispute as to time of second round nearly
precipitated a general fight among the
two dozen spectators, friends OF the fight
ers.
Smith weighed 1853 pounds and Shea
17S. The time of the first round was two
minutes; second round, one minute ana
fifty four seconds. The fight was under
London ring rules.
Smith is a millionaire, while Shea is
prominent in Boston society and is %
years Of age.

FALL RIVERS MYSTERY
Clews Followed Only to Come
to Naught.
The HOUSE AGAIN SEARCHED.

An Inquest Will Probably be Held This
trated-The Clothing of the Victims Dug
Up and Examined.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 9.-The
daughters of the murdered Mr.. and Mrs.
borden are beginning to realize the aw-
fnlness of the suspicion resting upon Miss
Lizzie and cannot control their feelings.
The inmates of the house are all suffering
rom nervous prostration. The police are
NO nearer to q solution OF the crime than
they were last week. It seems as If this
were one of those. mysterious murders
destined never to be cleared up.
The clothes worn by the victims, and
which were buried in the yard, were dug
mp yesterday afternoon and spread out on
the grass for the inspection of Medical
Examiner Dolan. He picked from several
parts of the clothes a quantity of hair
from Mrs. Borden's head, which he placed
IA two lots and took it with him to his
carriage.
o. resurrecting the clothing, but after
making his examination he ordered 1t to
d placed in a shoe case and buried four
feet below the surface of the lot.
Yesterdays prolonged search did not
Fssult in any clews, nor did the officers at
the conclusion feel that there was any
cruise for expecting more developments.
Portions of the chimney were dug away
by mason and the barn floor was torn
up. Marshal billiard said the search
was OF value, in showing that whoever
the assassin was his tracks were COM
pletely covered from view.
To-day the police have been at fever
heat and have succeeded in running down
seven out Of nine clews.
DR.. Dolan will probably ask for an in
quest during the week, as soon as he has
an opportunity to formulate a complaint.
The theory that the murder was commit
ted by man who was seen sitting on the
garden fence half an hour before the muir
der was discovered has been exploded.

yesterday to the House of Lords, where
the Queens speech opening the session of

Victoria was read The address is as fol-
lows: s...
"We have to inform you by command of
Her Majesty that the present Parliament
has been assembled in obedience to the
terms OF Her Majesty's proclamation of
june %, 1892, by which the late Parlia-
ment was dissolved. Previous to that
dissolution the business of the session
was completed, and it Is, therefore, not
necessary that Parliament continue in
session at an unusual period of the year
for the transaction Of financial or legisla-
tive business
st is Her Majesty's hope that when you
meet again, at the customary season, you
ures Of social and domestic improvement
in the path of useful and beneficent Iegis4
lation. which has been so judiciously
followed in previous sessions"
No vote was taken on Mr.. AsQuith's
amendment that confidence wac NOT re-
posed in the present advisors of Her
Majesty.
Keir Hardie, the labor member, who has
been making himself conspicuous by his
oddities of dress and behavior, was less
obtrusive. as he is beginning to compre-
bend that his queer conduct has aroused
general disgust, instead of the admira-
ton he anticipated. Other labor MEM
bers avoid him, and if he had any chance
Of exercising any influence, 1t is utterly
gone.
The Conservatives did not appear at all
dependent. They are preparing for an
earnest struggle, and mean rather to force
the fighting. The Liberals, on the other
hand, prefer to do as little talking as pos
BILE, and push the work as rapidly as they

worth at least rs cents. A moderate es-
