The Borden Trial,

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 29.-Court
was called TO order in the mysterious
Borden case at l0:45 sharp. Mrs. AIDE
laide B. Churchill testified that she
lived next to the Bordens. The first
she remembered of her attention being
chilled to the affair was when she saw
Bridget going for DR.. Bowen. About
the same time she saw Lizzie standing
against the side of the side door, appar-
emily distressed about something; open
ed the window and asked her what was
the matter, and she said, sob, Mrs.
Churchill, do come oyer somebody has
killed father" Witness described
finding Mrs, Borden's body.
Miss Alice NJ. Russell has created a
sensation by testifying that immediate
ly after the discovery of the murder
Miss Lizzie Borden told her that her
alleged visit to the barn was to procure
a piece of iron or tin with which to flx
a window. This eopTtradicts subsequent
statements of Miss Lizzie that she went
there for lead sinkers.

The Pu1iIiStS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-There was a
hot time in the private Office of the
Madison Square Garden this morning,
when James J. Corbett and his mana
ger, William A. Brady, met there to
arrange with Dominick McCafiery, the
boxing instructor of the Manhattan
Athletic Club, for the proposed boxing
match. Mr.. Corbett became so much
enraged at the remarks of the 1ianhat-
tan man that he stated in most emphat-
ic language and menacing mien that if
his would-be antagonist did not stop
talking he would throw him out of the
window. The upshot Of it all was that
no match was arranged. So far the
men agree on the result of the much
talked-of meeting, but for the details
there is something of a divergence.

late Henry l.. Simpson, died at his
home, on King street, at an early hour
this morning, aged 30 years. The de-
ceased was one Of the most weli-knoWn

been born and reared, and where he
had all his life lived save during the
four years he was following the for
tunes of the late Southern Confederacy.

andria boys made a hurried movement
in the direction of ''DiXie," and during
the quarternion of years that followed
he proved q good soldier and never
laid down his arms until the proceed
ings at AppomatoX made it apparent
that Southern independence was an
impossibility. He left here with Kemp
er's Battery, and subsequently was
transferred to Co. \, 35th Virginia
Battalion of Cavalry, commanded by
Col. Z. V. White. He was captured
in 1865 ard with member of the
Louisiana Tiger Zouaves entertained
with his adventures crowd of Alex
andrians, who had gathered around a
box car in which he was confined at
the then o. and A. depot in this city.
After the war the deceased, having mar
ried. embarked in the millinery bus
mess. and built up good trade
lie retained his position in the demo,
cratic ranks until 1879, when General
Malone and his readjustment epidemic
appeared in Virginia, and Mr.. Simpson
was one of the Alexandrians who con,
tracted the malady During the period
of tic sway of the General the deceased
was delivery clerk in the postotlicc IN
this city. After leaving government
employ he was appointed Jailoir under
City Sergeant Smith, which position he
retained up TO short time ago when
failing health incapacitated him from
active duty Mr.. Simpson was JoculaI
and courteous in his manners, and was
generally liked. His death was caused
by Bright's disease from which he had
long been sufferer. He was married
twicc-his first wife having been Miss
Steiner, his second who survives him.
Miss Plummer. He leaves several chill
dren. His funeral, which will take
place on Wednesday afternoon, will be
