LIZZIE DORDEN'S CASE.
II Is In the Hands Of the Grand Jury
ImpaneIed at Taunton.
A SPECIAL CHARGE ASKED FOR.
The Court Denied the Request, and In
structed the Jury as to Its Duty In
Whatever Cases IL Might be Called
Upon to Consider.

TAUNTON, Mass, Nov. 8.-The criminal
terday, Justice Thompson OF Glouces-
ter on the bench. Ordinarily there would
have been no business but the impaneling
OF the grand jury and its retirement for
business, but yesterday, after the roll
call, Col. M. o. Adams, associate counsel
for Lizzie'A. Borden, asked permission to
address the court on a matter In which
the defence was much interested and
was backed by petition from Miss Bor-
den. He said that he was uncertain about
his position without special assignment,
but he appeared at Miss Borden's request.
The court signifed its willingness TO
hear what might be said, and then Mr..
Adams asked that the grand jury might
be recharged and emphasis placed upon
the fact that no evidence other than that
brought before II should be considered as
having any weight upon the jury. He
called attention to the fact that this was a
case which had attracted unusual atten-
tion all over the country and which had
been given great prominence in the news
papers, and for fear that some of the jury
might have formed an opinion from news
paper reports, he would like the court to
rechsrge It.
District Attorney Knowlton said he al
ways impressed upon the grand jury the
Importance Of taking into consideration
only that which appeared in evidence be-
fore it, and he could not see why it should
be assumed that he would not do so now
The court briefly reviewed the regular
instructions relative to what course was
to be followed in all cases, and referred to
the necessity of not allowing newspaper
reports or hearsay evidence to influence
them, but considered that under the cir
cumstances there was no call for special
on this case.

F. l. /. PARADE POSTPONED.
1t Would be Contrary to the Militia
Law to Parade TODAY,

The First Light Infantry held special
meeting last evening to take action re-
garding the fail parade which was to
have taken place to-day. When the date
was fixed it was thought that election
day would be good one for full mum.
ber OF the regiment to turn out but il
discovered that a clause in the militia
law prohibited the ordering out of troops
on election day except i'm case of riot or
insurrectfon, and though the parade was
to be as priuate organization, still the
bearing of arms and the fact that the pa
rade would he under orders from the reg
mental commander, made il come under
the prohibition. There was also a feeling
among some of the officers that it mighs
be taken as political demonstration. BY
note of the meeting last evening il was
postponed and LETT to the board of officers
to fix the date for some time in the flu
ture. IL is very probable that the parade
will not be given this fall.

IN THE MUD.
The Hopes Of the Hussar Company
for That S5,000,00O.

LEoMINsTEg, Mass, Nov. S.-A little
buoy bobDing up and down in the swift
tide of He'll Gate. costing few dollars in
itself, is the only tangible thing TO show
for the 500, 900 spent by the Little Giant
Hussar Wrecking Company stockholders.
The great lot Of experience doesn't show.
This remarkable venture has been de-
scribed from time To time. Like the pot
of gold at the eud of the rainbow, the
S5,OO00J0 in guineas in the British treas
ure ship, sunk 100 years ago and more i'm
He'll Gate, are still not found, aud not
likely TO be.
Last week the dredges and floating
hotel that have been so long moo-ed over
the supposed sunken hulk were towed
away, aud the buoy was anchored there
In the name OF the company. This buoy
gives the company prior clam to what
may lie beneath II, under the code of
marine law.
The dredges and scows are laid up for
the winter aud may be taken out for more
work In the spring ir any more money
can be got for this purpose.
TO sum IL up, $40 900 has been sunk on
top OF the s5,0OO.000 in the iron bound
chests. The return has been few insig-
nifcant relics and two golden guneas,
which some scepJics aver were secured
from some old collection, aud only pre-
sumably taken from the wreck. The per-
centage OF return, instead of being l0, 900.
is so small 1T can hardly be figured.

AT PROVIDENCE PLAYHOUSES
s'f'adette. |"

"Fadette."
1t is pleasant to note that the higher
class OF light opera is growing more and
more into popular favor and that the
public demands something beside "horse
play" set TO music. "Fadette,n which was
given at the PROVIDENCE Opera House
last evening under the direction of Col
henry. Mapleson, may properly be
termed an opera comique, and classed
with such works AS robin Hood"
although the music as a wh )le is hardly
up to the standard of that opera.
AS in most light operas the plot
amounts to little, being but "a thre al to
connect the musical numbers. The com.
edy element is sufficiently strong, and
the interest increases rather than dimin-
lshes as the opera progresses. Mrs. Laura
Schirmer- Mapleson, or Miss Laura Scnir-
mer as her name appears on the program,
Is well qualified TO rightly interpret the
character or Fadette, her personality is
attractive and her voice musical, of
good range. pure and flexible in
quality as was shown in the
fiorld passages, although it was evident
she was suffering from cold which in
terfered at times with the clearness of
the upper register of her voice. Miss
Irene Jerome. as trasquita, wife of Cara
pom, an lnnkeeper, has soprano voice OF
pleasing quality, which she uses TO ad-
vantage. j. e. Campbell, tenor. as Lau-
rdlue. one OF gang OF outlaws but of
noble birth. acted the role acceptably, aud
although his voice is not large it is In
quality far more musical than the ma
lorlty OF tenors on the light opera stage.
Warwick Ganor, baritone, looked an d
acted well the character of Capt. Stefan
of the Kings Dragons. Mr. Ganor
has a fine stage presence aud his voice is
smooth and even, although lacking in
resonance. Carapon the innkeeper. was
in the hands of Charles ii. Drew whose
acting kept the audience in good humor,
and unlike most comedians he was able
to sing. and his song "Don't Hurry" was
repeatedly encored. The minor char
acters were in good hands and the
chorus was we'll balanced and tuneful.
The music is by Maillart, with supple
mentary music by Zito Mattel. The
most catchy melody is Dearest" by the
latter composer. aud occurs in the third
act This was delightfully."- sung by Miss
Schirmer. The audience was Il large and
brilliant one. The opera will be given
during the remainder of the week and the
opera house should be we'll patronIzed
during this engagement
