THESANTA MARIA'S VOYAGE.
Spain's Celebration of the Sail
ing of Columbus.
The Little Caravel Starts From
the Port of Palos.

A cablegram from Palos, Spain, says:
On the four hundre1th anniversary OF the
day on which Columbus set sail from Palos
westward on his voyage Of discovery the
festivities arranged here for celebrating tho
day were carried out with great eclat.
The view from the town, however, was
obscured by thick mist which hung over
the river and rendered it impossible TO SEQ
more than DIM outline of this hulls Of tho
vessels lying mt anchor.
At 9 o'clock, the hour at which Columbus
began his voyage the clravel Santa Maria,
constructed In imitation of the vessel of that
name belonging to the Columbus expedi-
tion, which had been lying off shore all
night, set her sails for her passage through
the lines of warshps anchored outside the
bar, but owing to the dead calm a line was
run to her from n gunboat, and she was
towed down stream, followed by the Span
ish hotilla in single file. Minister of Marine
Montigo was on board the warship Legespi.
The voyage down the river past the Mon
nstery of La Rabida, on which the nngs OF
all the American States were flying to the
bar occupied about an hour.
Outside the bar were moored the vessels
OF the foreign squadrons which had come to
take part in the celebration. These vessels
were formed in lines, between which the
caravel passed amid tho laundering salutes
and deafeuing cheers.
The mist aud the smoke from the guns
made IL impossible to watch the mauo1vres
OF the caravel, which followed for some dis
tance the route taken by Columbus 400 years
ago. At 0 o'clock the little vessel returned
and re-entered the river.
The town of Huelva is crowded. with
visitors, and all the buildings. both private
and public, are gayly decorated.
Fifteen of the Spanish fiotilla conveyed
the Santa Maria several miles to sea, and
when the signal was given by the Spanish
Minister of Marine for the vessel TO return
the caravel was given farewell salute.
The caravel returned with the iotilla to
Huelva. These mannuvres were part of q
ceremonial in celebration of the departure
of Columbus.
A dispatch from Washington says: The
following cable messages were exchanged
on the anniversary day:
The President:
To-day four hundred years ago Colu nbus
sailed from Paios, discovering America.
The United States flag is being hoistei this
moment in front of Convent La Rabida
along with banners of all American States.
Batteries and ships saluting, accompanied by
enthusiastic acclamations of the people

Husband and Wife Murdered.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 6.-Andrew J.
Borden, a wealthy real estate owner and
mill man, and his wife were found dead at
their home. Both had been mutilated about
the head and face with an AK, cleaver or
razor.
There is hardly a doubt that both were
murdered. The police are looking after
Portuguese who runs the Borden farm at
GARDENERS Neck, and who was in the house
a few minutes before the bodies were dis
covered.
Who the murderer was, why he commit
ted the crime, or where he went, is not
known. The police have arrested three
persons on suspicion, but the only suspici-
Gus circumstances about them was the fact
that they were seen in the neighborhood
about the hour of the murder.
Mr.. Borden was very large owner of real
estate in Fall River. Charles G. Cook was
his agent collecting his rents, and yesterday
paid to the old gentleman large sum Of
money from his rentals. He made regular
deposits in the Union Bank, and never paid
any accounts except by check He left home
as usual, about 0 o'clock this morning, to
take his deposit to the bank. About iQ30
o'clock his deposit was received at the I'm
ion Bank, and he went from there to his
home, arriving about l0:40 o'clock and 60
ing into the sitting room to recine upon the
lounge and read the newspaper. Mrs. Por-
den went up stairs to make the bed in the
bedroom In the front of the house. No one
except the murder saw them afterward un-
I'll the dead bodies were found.

A MURpERER's TRAGIC END.
he Resists Arrest, Shoots an Officer and
Then Kills Himself.

WASHINGTON, PA, Aug. s.-Martin Reed,
the murderer of Alexander Chapel, who
on June 0 last escaped from the Washing
ton county Jail, was cornered in an ice-house
at Noblestown on Saturday. There he kill
ed one officer instantly, fatally wounded an
other and was himself burned up in the ice
house.
Officers Mcbride and Orr of this place have
been hunting for Reed ever since the muir
derer fled and at last they found him to-day
concealed in the ice-house at Noblestown.
When discovered Reed refused to surrender,
whereupon an attempt was made to force
the door ofthe ice-house and take him by
force. Reed had evidently determined not
to be taken alive for he opened fire on the
officers and dangerously wounded Officer
Orr,
The two policemen, seeing that they could
not capture the desperate unaided, called
for help. A large number of citizens re-
sponded and q second attack on the building
was commenced Shot after shot came
from Reeds revolver, and his firing was so
rapid that no one dared to venture close to
the ice-house.
At this time Constable Coyle of Mcdonald
placed himself at the head of a number of
others and led an assault on the murderers
stronghold, The beseigers were met with a
volley from Reeds pistol and Constable
Coyle was instantly killed. The death of
this officer spread CONSERVATION among the
citizens, but they quickly rallied and deter
mined to set fire to the ice-house and thus
force Reed TO surrender
They were successful in starting a fire, and
soon the flames were spreading from one
end oft he building to the other, but Reed
did Dotgive himself up. On the contrary,
as the flames mounted higher and higher
and he saw that he had the choice of burn
ing to death, surrcndering or shooting him
SELF he chose the latter. The report of his
revolver rang out, and his body was recov-
cred soon afterward. burned TO a crisp, but
showing the bullet hole in his head
The crime for which Reed was convicted
and sentenced to hang was the murder of
Alexander Chapel. Chappels wife was
most attractive woman and Reed, falling in
love with her, planned and executed the
crime in order to marry her. Reeds plan of
murder was to place bottle of poisoned
whiskey in the way of Chapel at the Bur
gettstown fair in the fall of 1891,
As a result of Saturday nights awful
work, number of arrests will be made of
persons who are known to have aided in
firing the ice house. and shooting into the
burning building. Constable Bel, of No
blestown, claims TO have seen certain per-
sons fire Winchesters and revolvers into
the building and says that after quiet has
been entirely restored he will proceed
against them

A NOVEL CONGREGATION.

At IL o'clock Sunday morning, when Rev
Ken. G. Hayes, chaplain of the Fifteenth
Regiment, walked into the new beam mill
at Homestead, he was treated to n genuine
surprise. Instead of n congregation of
meager proportions he was confronted by
one which in more ways tEan one was re-
markable II consisted of more than n score
of military dignitarics in full uniform,
dozen smartly dressed young women and
l,4O0 workingmcn of all sorts and conditions,
from the skilled stcelworker to the laborer.
The mill had been filed with benches, and
all of them were occupied. At the eastern
end of the building was q small platform
furnished with couple of chairs and small
table. On the table lay bible, and beside
II bunch of wild flowers. Directly in front
of their improviscd pulpit sat General Wiley
and the members OF his staff. To the left OF
them was an orchestra of II pieces. Back Of
the soldiers and musicians were massed the
civilians.
Mr.. Hayes was evidently impressed with
the novel conditions and by the size and
makeup of his congregation. After the
usual hymn had been sung and prayer had
been offered, Chaplain Hayes delivered his
sermon.

sIn the Chcering-up Business" con.
tains the brave conclusion reached by
a young girl who 50 pcrsistently tries
10 bring sunshine into the lives OF
Others that she finally becomes known
as the "joy-giver."
"If there is only one thing In life
which Is bright and pleasant" she
said, that mean to hold fast; and
II there isn't such thing, I'll make
It. III be it myself"
Perhaps she was helped in her
hearty and healthy way of taking life
by The remark of an old doctor, who
had called TO see another member OF
the family and asked:
whats the matter with her,
now?"
oh" said the young girl, al sup.
pose it's her nerves."
"Ncrves! nerves." cried the Doctor,
seemingly in an alarming rage. "My
dear young lady, | adjure you by all
your hopes of happiness, don't let
that word get into your vocabulary.
There's no such thing Indigestion,
dyspepsia, II you like, but not
nerves."
That he was fond Of exaggcration,
no one can doubt; still, the lesson he
would have taught was sensible one.
When we allow ourselves moods OF
ill-temper or weakness because we
are nervous then we need to re.
member that the soul Is stronger than
the body. We need &c look about us
and see whether or not we can make
some one else happy.
For" says the little heroine who
became joy-giver, "if one is really
disposed TO bring people good cheer
IL is wonderful to see what frequent
opportunities there are. One might
make IL business!"
