THREE KILLED, MANY HURT.
A Strange Accident at st. Paul, MINI
that Did Great Damage.

A Strange Accident at st. Paul, Mimi,
that Did Great Damage.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 5.-Three people were
killed and seven badly injured by a sin
gular accident on the West Side at 10 p. m.
Those killed are Mrs. August Adams,
Mrs. J. Horn, VIM. Krieger.
Those wounded fatally are Philip
Stoehr and 5-year- old son, August Adams,
Fred Krieger, Paul Keuk, Henry Ludwig.
John Wilrich.
A torrent of water sweeping everything
before it with resistless force poured over
over the brow of the lower bluff and down
upon the level of the Kansas City tracks.
Four houses were carried away and
five others dismantled and wrecked.
The accident was the result of the late
cloud burst.
Upon the hillside, above Prague street,
was deep gully the natural outlet of the
water from the country above.
year ago Prague street had been filled
up across this gully leaving a small cul-
vert to carry off the ordinary water.
On Monday there appeared crack on
the lower side of the fill, but there was
no thought of any immediate danger, and
when the fill let go with a mighty
rush and the great body of water swept
down upon the lowland below, everybody
was taken by surprise.
In ten minutes the whole thing was
over and the work of rescue began.
Men, women and children were ished
out of the debris and wreck, extending
nearly half mile.
1t is possible that the extent of the loss
of life may be increased as the work Of
recovery proceeds.

THE BORDEN MURDER
No Clue to the Slayers of the
Aged Couple.
BROTHER-IN-LAW SUSPECTED.

The Weapon With Which the Millionaire
and His Wife Were Mutilated Cannot
BE Found--Mr. Borden Was Seen Five
Minutes Before the Crime.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 5.-There is
absolutely no clue to the murderer or
murderers of Andrew j. Borden and his
wife, who were found dead in their home
on Second street yesterday, both fright
fully mutilated about the head and
face.
No implements that could have been
used in the commission of the crime have
been found.
Mr.. Borden lay on a sofa in a room on
the top floor of the house. His head had
been cut, and gashes from four to six
inches long were found on his face and
neck
Mrs Borden was in her own chamber ON
the upper floor, and the condition of her
face and head was the same as that of her
husband. She lay face down in the bed,
which was a veritable pool of blood. The
police were notified, and Immediately an
investigation was begun.
The daughter of the unfortunate couple
was the first to make the discovery. She
went up stairs after finding the body of
her father, and saw that of her mother.
She thought her mother had fallen in a
swoon, but finding that she, too, was
murdered, the girl fled down stairs and
tainted.
The police have searched in vain for any
clue to the murderer. They spent yester-
day afternoon searching for Portuguese
who runs the Borden farm at Gardeners
Neck, and who, it was said. was in the
house at 10:45 a. M, a few minutes be-
fore the bodies were discovered.
To-day the police say there is nothing
in!the Portuguese story.
1t is reported that word was sent to
Mrs. Borden in the morning that sick
friend desired to see her, but she did not
go out. 1t is said that the servant, Bird
get Sullivan, says she went into the room
to make some inquiry of Mr.. Borden five
minutes before Lizzie Borden gave the
alarm. He was then sitting on the sofa
reading newspaper.
Mr.. Borden was a wealthy real estate
owner and mill man, and was seen on the
street half an hour before he was found
dead.
Although the police have no clue, yet
their suspicious rest upon persons who
were in the family circle, particularly
John M. Morse, brother-in-law of Mr..
Borden by his first marriage; also on the
daughter Lizzie, who first discovered the
body of the father. John NJ. Morse is SO
years of age and came here from Hastings,
Ia, two years ago. He became very in
innate with Mr.. Borden and the latter's
daughter, and spent great portion of his
time with them. He came from New Bed
ford at noon Wednesday and spent the
night at the Borden Homestead. He left
there yesterday morning at 8 o'clock and
was next seen on the premises about 20
minutes after the bodies were discovered
The police say the only motive for murder
was gain, else one of the victims might
have been spared.
1t has been decided to keep Morse under
close surveillance until further develop
| ments. The murder has caused the great
est sensation here since the Granite mill
| fire.

STEVENSON IN LOUISVILLE.
He Speaks at the Dedication of the Wat
terson Club House.


LOUISVILLE, KY. Aug, 5.-The open
ing and dedication of the new Watterson
Club house drew together all the leaders
of the Democratic party in the State. The
Governor and his staff came down from
Frankfort, and the Legislature was left
without quorum.
The chief feature of the occasion was
the presence of the Hon. Adlai Stevenson,
Democratic candidate for Vice President,
who came at the invitation of the Wat
terson Club, and spoke both to a great
concourse of people at the Liederkranz
Hall and to a smaller gathering at the
Watterson Club house, where he was
given a reception, and where Mr.. Waiter
son, in spite of his recent severe illness,
of which he showed decided traces, also
spoke.
Flags and bunting were everywhere
The Watterson Club house was gorgeous
with decorations by day and ablaze with
illuminations by night. Hon. John
Young Brown, Governor of Kentucky,
presided over the great mass meeting and
introduced Gen. Stevenson to the audi
ence. After the adjournment of the mass
meeting Gen. Stevenson gave a public re-
ception.

SHE TRIED TO BLOW THE HOUSE.
A Chicago Woman's Desperate Attempt
to XIII q Broker.

to XIII a Broker.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The police are
searching everywhere for the woman who
on Wednesday night made an attempt to
blow up the residence of G. D. Irwin, the
wealthy Board of Trade operator on Calu-
met avenue.
The attempt was made a few minutes
after 8 o'clock, and would probably have
been successful had not persons passing
by frightened the woman, who left large
can half filled with very high explosive,
and ran toward the lake.
The can was discovered few minutes
later, but the finders were afraid to touch
it and called Mr.. Irwin out. He picked
up the can, and on examining it's contents,
discovered that it was more than half
filled with giant powder. In all there
was about ten pounds Of the deadly ex-
plosive, the amount being sufficient, If
exploded, to have blown the building to
atoms and to have set fire to the debris.
Mr.. Irwin says; 81 have not the slightest
idea who the woman is and cannot imag-
inc why anybody should cherish any i'll
feelings against me. My firm has no
dealing with women, SO, whatever motive
the woman had it could not be one of re-
venge for unfortunate investments. I
cannot believe that the woman is any
thing but a crank."A
The can and its contents are in posses
sion of the police.

Mr.. HARRISON ASKS IT
Congress Requested to Close
Up Business.
HIS wFE's ILLNESS THE REASON.

An Adjournment Tonight OF Tomorrow
ProbabIe--A Vote on the Worlds Fail
Bill Is Expected To-Day - Sundry
Civil Appropriations Again Extended.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-In Difference to
the urgent request Of President Harrison,
Congress will adjourn either late tonight
or early tomorrow morning. The Prssi-
dent made known his desire for an imme-
date adjournment to Speaker Crisp in an
interview at the White House yesterday,
basing the request upon the condition OF
Mrs. Harrison's health, which makes it
necessary for her husband to join her
without delay.
1t is unusual for the President to make
any suggestions concerning an adjourn
ment to the leaders of the House, es-
pecially when that body is of the opposite
political faith to his own, but in this case
there has been no thought of precedent.
For a week past the President has com
municated daily with Speaker Crisp, IN
quiring anxiouBly concerning the pros
poets of adjournment. Each day he has
sent q telegram to Mrs. Harrison at Loon
Lake giving, as nearly as it could be ap-
proximated, the date of his departure
from w aSn10RGOn. AS Dn6 Ir0S1u6nU ar
rival has been postponed from day to day
the strain on Mrs. Harrison's nerves has
increased until the most serious results
are feared from her present exhausted
condition.
In his interview with the Speaker the
President offered to spend Friday night at
the Capitol if necessary in order that bus
mess might be despatched and an early
adjournment effected.
Tho hoa oil Id
Senate, and it is believed to be owing to
his earnest request that the intimation
has been given that the Durborrow
bill will encounter no opposition when it
reaches the Upper House.
In discussing the situation Speaker
Crisp said this morning.
IT do not see why we cannot get away
late tonight. The Durborrow bill will be
passed and sent to the Senate before .
o'clock, and the conference report on the
Sundry Civil bill will not occupy us more
than an hour or two"

GOT AWAY WITH $4,000.
Tho Sheriff and Posse Pursuing the by
namiting Train Robbers.

FRESNO, Cal, Aug. Sit is believed
that the band of masked robbers who
held up the south bound passenger train
near Coils yesterday secured about
$15, 900.
The robbers compelled the engineer and
fireman of the engine to leave their places
on the engine and then went to the ex-
press car and asked the messenger to
open the door of the car.
The messenger refused and the robbers
commenced firing dynamite bombs at the
door, finally breaking it in.
They then broke open the safe and took
out all the money there was in it. The
amount of money the robbers got is not
known.
The express messenger had several ribs
broken by the explosion of the bombs,
and the engine was badly disabled. The
robbers then escaped.
The robbers were not engaged in their
work for more than is minutes. Only
three were seen, although more may have
been engaged in the work. The concus-
sion that followed the explosion of the
giant powder broke the two front win
dows in the day coach into particles, and
many of the passengers thought they
were shot.
A brakeman who stuck his head out
from one Oh inc plaCIOrLnS Wnen Lne Train
came to stop had a narrow escape, as
his cap was grazed by rife bullet. The
place selected for the robbery was the
most favorable for the enactment of such
a crime, as there there is no house near
or telegraph Office between Coils and this
place.
AS soon as the news of the robbery
reached here, Sheriff Hensley, Deputy
MoArdle and Constable Ashman, with a
posse, left for the scene. The robbers,
however, have a start of at least two hours
over the officers, and their capture within
the next day or two is a matter Of doubt.

Omcor Doe hesiRns.

BOSTON, Aug. 6.-Of1cer Nathan A
Doe, an officer with twenty years con-
tinuous service in Charleston State Prison,
who was suspended Monday for alleged
neglect of duty, has resigned. Mr.. Doe,
after examining a box on Monday contain
ing a motto "God Bless Our Home"
which was sent out by prisoner, marked
it correct" and handed it to a runner for
delivery. The box was opened by the
warden, which is something unusual, and
fourteen letters from convicts to outside
parties found, which Mr.. Doe claims were
not in it when he examined it. 1t is gen.
orally believed that the runner put the
letters in while on his way to the deliver y
room

Grover Cleveland
and the Women,

Mrs Mary Frost Ormsby of New York,
with many other well-meaning women,
formed a political club lately and named
It the "Frances Cleveland influence Clup.
She wrote letter to Mrs Cleveland IN
forming her of this fact, and the letter
was full of patriotic sentiment. MRS
Cleveland handed the letter over to her
lord and master, aud he answered it, say
ing that he could not approve of the use
of Mrs Cleveland's name for political
work. as the name of wife and mother
is too sacred. We think that Mr. Cleve-
land could afford to let these women go
as thew please " They did not ask for his
approval, and he needs all the influence
he can get. Mr. Cleveland ought to re-
member he only represents certain ideas
that are in the public mind, and his per
sonal likes and dislikes are of minor I'M
portance. He has often told rs that the
functions of government should be CON
sidered sacred. If so, we can tell him
that IL will require the refining process OF
woman s influence to make it sacred. Men
have gone it alone thus far, and there Is
nothing to day much more degrading thah
politics; and the corruption fund IL grow
ing larger all the time. We think that
Mr. Cleveland ought to feel honored IN
having, as Mrs. Ormsby expresses it, the
mothers, wives, daughters and sisters OF
New York democrats enlisted in his cause.
They talk about woman's sphere,
AS though it had a limit;
There's not place in earth or heaven,
There is not task to mankind given,
There is not blessing or a woe,
There's not whisper, yes or no,
There's not life, or death, or birth
That has feathers weight of worth,
Without a woman in 1t.
