ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.l
FALL RIVER, Aug. l2.-This morning in
the police court before Judge Blaisdell,
another chapter was added to the awful
murder tragedy.
Miss Lizzie Borden was arraigned,
charged with the murder of her father
and step-mother. She pleaded not guilty.
The accused girl entered the court room
at o'clock, leaning upon the arm of the
Rev. Mr.. Buck, the city missionary. She
was attired in dress of blue serge cut in
prevailing fashion of summer outing
suits, with high puffed sleeves and long
train, the skirt was entirely plain and the
bodice was relieved by a lighter row of
ruchinR in the neck. She wore a black
straw hat trimmed with black lace and
four red rose buds.
She walked with firm step and with
head erect, but plainly showed the effects
of the ordeal she passed through last
night. Her eyes were bloodshot and her
face was flushed.

Sheffield is but an hours ride. Mining
shafts are seen in every direction until
there seems to be no end of them, to-
gether with few rolling mills with
smoke belching from huge chimneys,
and that is all. To my mind Sheffield is
one of the oldest-looking, dirty towns it
has been my fortune to visit. The
streets look clean enough. but the build
ings and even the majority of the
people seem to be grimed with dirt.
Many Of the cutlery manufactures
are gathered within the business por-
tion of the town, and their many chin
neys seem to make every day a cloudy
one. Many of the old concerns have
correspondingly aged buildings or work
shops. In fact, candidly, the town is
uninviting to the traveller. Through

PITTsBURG, Aug. l2-H. c. Frick's life
may be again in danger. Authentic news
that an anarchist, pledged to take the life
of the chairman of the Carnegie company,
is hiding in this city, reached here to-day.

When he left New York he was dressed
in a striped flannel lawn tennis shirt and
wore short sack coat and brown straw
hat. He wears no vest, but around his
waist has leather belt. He carried with
him $50, a revolver and dynamite h,mb.
The explosives were loose in his coat
pocket, ready for instant use.
Extraordinary precautions have been
taken all day and tonight by the police
officials. III. &. Frick was early informed
of the second intended attempt on his
life. He merely smiled and said he in
tended to stick to his work; that he was
doing his duty.
That Aaronstann is here the police have
no doubt. as he has tried to secure COM
munication with Berkmann by means of
a third party. Berkmann Is still in Jail
and refuses to talk, except to say that III.

Tonight every suspected Anarchist in
the city is under police surveillance, and

LIZZIE BoRDEN's LIFE STORY.

Uneventful Days OF n Quiet Existence
eliminating I'm n Tragedy.
FALL RIVER, Aug. 12.-As child Lizzie
Borden was of very sensitive nature,
inclined Ito be non-communicative with
new acquaintances, and this character
istic has clung to her all through life.
She was born in the old family home
stead on Ferry street, In which her father
has lived and his father before him. 1t is
the same estate which the dead Andrew
j. Borden decided to the two girls in 1887.
She entered the high school when about
16 years old. At this time Lizzie was tax
ing piano lessons. and the high school,
for some reason, was not congenial to her
tastes, for she left after completing little
over year of the prescribed classical
course of study.
After leaving school she remained at
home. She abandoned her music lessons
because she could not make progress. Her
father and mother were regular church
attendants and she has been surrounded
by Christian home influences
When young girl she accompanied
her parents to Chicago and was there a
member of the Sunday y-school class and
punctual in attendance. She was, how
siastic idea OF her own personal attain
ments. She thought people were not fav-
orably disposed towards her and that she
made a poor impression.
About five years ago she began to fra
ternize with church people.
Six years ago, through the interest OF
Mrs. Charles l.. Morse, prominent
church worker aud the wife of the cashier
of the Second National Bank, the wife Of
the Rev. Mr.. Buck and other people, Miss
Lizzie became an active participant In
church matters. She made a profession
OF faith aud was received into the church.
She became an instructor for mill OPP
eratives in the Sunday school of the Con-
gregational Church. but her courage gave
out with the heretofore untutored boys,
aud she took class OF girls. She was also
engaged with the instruction of Chinese in
the Sunday school. Her most successful
work, however, was in connection with
the Young Women's Christian Temper
ance Society.
With party of friends Miss Borden
made tour OF Europe in 1890. She re
mained on the Continent for three
months, under the chaperoDage OF Miss
Cox of Taunton. They visited London,
traversed Scotland, saw Paris and spent
some time in Rome. Lizzie brought home
ings aud copies OF works OF the great
masters. She was particularly fond OF
Raphael's Sistine Madonna and brought
home several large copies of 1t.
She had pictures of st. Peters at Rome,
and other great European cathedrals.
When she went to Europe she necessarily
gave up her class in Sunday School, and
did not resume IL on her return. She
continued. however; to attend church reg
ularly, and when her father left the Cen
tral for the First Congregational Church,
with her sister and mother, she was al
ways found In the family pew at the
former house of worship.

The First Result OF the Secret Inquest
mt Fall River.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. H. Miss
Lizzie Borden is under arrest, charged
with numbering her father and step
mother last Thursday morning, at their
home on Second street.
Miss Borden was brought to the Second
terday afternoon, presumably ito give
further evidence at the inquest. Bridget
Sullivan, the servant girl, mad been sum-
moned shortly before. Miss Borden was
accompanied by her sister and Mrs. Brig
ham, who has remained with her loyalty
during the hard scenes of the funeral and
inquest.
As was the case Wednesday, all pro-
ceedings were conducted behind locked
doors. No official announcement was
made that would lead to any definite
knowled re of the details Of the inquest.
When Miss Lizzie returned from the
third inquiry and cross examination, she
was physical and mental wreck. She
was conducted to the matron's room,
leaning heavily on Mrs. Brigham's arm.
The inquest was adjourned about
o'clock, when District Attorney Kuowl-
ton and other officials went down stairs
to the marshsl's private Office, where they
remained
CIoseted for Two Hours.
Shortly after @ o'clock City Marshal
Hilliard and District Attorney Knowl-
ton drove to the home of Andrew Jen-
nings, Esq, who has been attorney for
the Borden family for some years. They
returned about o'clock and went mp
stairs into tho matron's room, where
Miss Borden was lying on q sofa. City
Marshal Hilliard had previously notified
nr. Jennings that he proposed to arrest
his client, and Mr.. jennings broke the
news to her before the officer appeared.
The reading Of the warrant was waived.
Miss Borden took her arrest with SUR
prising calmncss, the two women with
her being much more visibly affected
than she. Hor sister was greatly cast
down, and Mrs. Brigham sted tears.
At the time OF the arrest there were In
the room Mrs. Russell, the police matron,
Miss Emma Borden, the prisoner, City
Marshal Hilliard. Detective Seaver and
Lawyer jennings. The city marshal
made the public announcement OF the
arrest. Shortly afterward, Miss Emma
Borden and Mrs. Brigham were driven
home.
The excitement on the street was very
great Just after the srrests although some

hand by workman, who, with set of
grirdstones, converted the rough mate

pressing the finger lightly on the under
side and running it along one could
trace its course upon the opposite side
with ease.
Another interesting sight was the

haps one of the most difficult and finer
operations is that of taking the blade

fact the best, are the full hollow ground.

utation, having devoted most of their
time and efforts to shipments abroad,
caring little for home trade. In this
way they are well known in all foreign
countries. 1t is thus plainly seen the

them.
Even the wors men evinced a lively
interest in its repeal and anxiously hope
it will not be long before it is accom-
plished. The buildings occupied by the
concern are very old, and in fact with
the machinery going often gave the i'm
preston of shaking. They have been
occupied by the present concern, SO L
understood, over hundred years. Re
garding the workmen, piece work pre-
dominates. The quickest and most
skilled mechanic, however, does not
always receive the largest wages. There
is in many branches, a system whereby
the workman begins and finishes his
own work, such as the spring knife cut
ters. In this way a good man might
possibly earn Dos. one week, and los. the
