living person who had the opportunity 70
kill the old people was Lizzie Borden"
When asked how he explained the ab-
sence of blood stains on Lizzie's Clothes,
Mr.. Borden said: THAT is easily accounted
for. She could have worn q rubber cloak
while doing the deed, and the blood-stains
on that could have been washed OIL with
hot water in q few minutes. When you ASK
me what was the girls motive l say there
is no apparent motive TO my mind. unless
it be that Lizzie thought her father

her but little money. or else she
knew he did not make one (which 10 cor

HAMBURG. Sept. 15.-AutumDal weather

a falling thermometer. The highest temper
ature has been % degrees Fahrenheit, and
this evening the thermometer is little above

There have been sos fresh cases to-day,

deaths. or three more than yesterday; 331
burials, or eighteen more than yesterday.
In the cholera hospitals and barracks the
number of patients has fallen to 1909, tho
lowest lumber Of the last sixteen days.
Two-thirds of the patients are women and
children. The men now stricken. the ply
sicians say, are those who have had little
constitution to resist the disease. Many of
them nave been hard drinkers. and others
have been weakened by privatioDs so as to
become easily infected. Among people of
normal health and habits the plague is be-
lieved to be at an end.
The municipal staff of physicians are
now more than adequate, principally be-
cause nearly all the cases are treated at
hospitals. To-day fifteen army surgeons,
who have worked here for the last W
weeks. left for their garrisons. and more
are expected to leave Tomorrow. Other

and that the only reason why they failed
was that the virulence of the epidemic has
