THE killing of an elderly, respected and wealthy citizen of Fall River and his wife is a horrible mystery, the unraveling of which is baffiing the skill of detectives. Andrew J. Borden was last Thursday, about 8 a. m., found lying upon the floor of his sitting room with his head terribly hacked, apparently with an axe. Up stairs his wife was found lying on the floor killed in the same manner. The in- strument of death was not found. They had been alone in the house but few minutes. The servant was outside the house washing windows, and. the daugh- ter of the murdered man returning from few minutes absence from the house was the discoverer of the crime. Suspicion for time was at loss for trail, but is now largely concentrated upon the daugh- ter, for lack of any other possible object, though the suspicion thus far has slim basis. There was no robbery, though the taking of many valuables was made easy by the crime. The daughter had not been on good terms, though all lived to- gether without open outbreak. The fam fly was wealthy. and it is said that the daughter had reasonable allowance for expenditure An uncle of the girl, John W. Morse, brother of her mother, has al- so been under suspicion. It seems in credible that this terrible crime could have been committed by either, their pre- vious character and lack of motive being considered.

As the planet Mars draws nearer the earth we are separated from it only by a trifie of thirty-five million miles. The telescopes of the astronomers are pointed toward him from every earthly obserya- tory. The Lick astronomers, from their heights above San Jose, California, re- port that the great canals, 30 to 100 miles wide, which astronomers say connect green seas and extend in parallel dark lines from the sea coast for thousand miles or more into the interior, where they intersect with other canals, are sim gle not double canals. They also describe the inner moon, which was seen to be im- mersed in the shadow of Mars. Another observer is astounded at the gorgeous sight which Mars presents as seen now through a powerful telescope. ''It is, ]" says he, "as if we saw the earth with it's icy poles as a solid globe floating over head, with dark blue seas and brilliant hued dry land, and on this dry beds of multitudes of lakes, bays, gulfs, streams and canals. It is shown that Mars re- wolves on it's axis, and that the ends of the axis are the frozen poles as with the earth" The astronomers are steadily gazing, trying to verify the assumptions that giants dwell in Mars, that the work of canal building is still going on, and that the moving lights, which an Italian astronomer ayers that he has seen, are really there It is 8 very interesting study, and with the planet so near and so many telescopes pointed toward him we may look out for interesting discoveries the coming week, if the astronomers can make them.

The official count of votes in Alabama reduces the democratic majority over the alliance to about 10000. But the alli- ance men assert, and they say they can prove, that the result was obtained by fraud. They claim that Kolb not only had large majority of the white vote, but that really he was elected by large majority over Jones. The outcome is a bitter feeling that will prevent the fac tions ever working together again in poli- tics.

A RAILWAY TRAIN loaded with gold coin was last week transported across the con- tinent. It was train of passenger cars with gold piled upon the floor and armed men riding in the cars. There was mop- ey enough to have made hundreds of men rich, and yet armed hirelings stood be- tween the people and this vast monopoly of gold. How long, oh! how long, must this employment of hired assassins be tolerated.? For had any poor socialist tried to equalize this excess of wealth the guards might have killed him, had it come to one or the other getting killed. Whats the matter with that line of reasoning?

 Pneumatic wheels, such as are used on bicycles, have sprung into sudden popu- larity in horse racing. They are clumsy looking as compared with the ordinary wheels, with their trim, neat, steel tires, but they make sulky run easier, and, it is claimed, result in considerably faster time. At the Rochester grand circuit meeting, Tuesday, every sulky, with one exception, had pneumatic or ''bicycle wheels" as they are termed, and at Mystic park only four of the old-style wheels were seen on the track.

Captain Alfred E. Hunt, commanding Battery B. at Homestead, Pa., in reply to charges that the punishment of Pri- vate Iams was unjustfedly brutal, says : Private Iams was not tortured in his punishment by Colonel Streator, as the suspension by the thumbs did not throw the whole weight of his body on those members. After five minutes suspension he asked for a chew of tobacco in the same arrogant, insolent manner which was characteristic of his entire conduct in camp and also through his service in the guard. He purposely swallowed some of the tobacco to make himself sick, accord ing to his own statement afterward. He was let down from the ridge pole of the tent after twenty minutes suspension, suffering from nausea occasioned by his having swallowed the tobacco. During the entire evening and night after this punishment, the man treated the matter jocosely and made no complaint of having suffered. The following morning one- half of his head was clean shaven, the OaiJ AChA OOAPOAdA puHl0uluOu1 GuS Lldu endured, and of which he complained while in camp. As to the further state ment that the offense was nothing more than 'thoughtless exclamation" let me say that Private Iams, whose previous record had been extremely bad, had been a soldier long enough to become con- versant with the duties and discipline of the guard. He knew full well the dan gerous position occupied by the guard and the liability of the camp to be shot into at any time by the lawless strikers, yet the day before he had been detected asleep on his post as sentinel. Among a mass of iron workers numbering many thousands, who were then striking, and amid the open rejoicing of these men at the then supposed assassination of Prick, this man proposed three cheers for the assassin, right in the presence of his colonel. And when expostulated with and reprimanded and earnestly requested to withdraw his exclamation he doggedly and consistently refused to doi it. He was entreated, not only by his colonel, but by other officers of the brigade to whom the matter was referred, not once, but many times, and the same dogged, persistent refusal was made. Certainly this could not be called a "thoughtless exclama- tion." The newspapers alone are re- sponsible for the statement that Private Iams was disfranchised and robbed of his rights as citizen This is not true. No such results follow the military sentence in his case.''
 The Hartford races for the year 1892 bid fair to be better than any previous year. Secretary King has just returned from the west with his hat full of entries for the coming races advertised in anoth- CT column. If you want to see fast trot- ting and pacing by the very best horses on the turf, be sure and visit Charter Oak Driving Park during the races which are to take place August 23, "A, 25 and %, 1892. It is expected that in the $1O, ,OOO purse for three year olds 22O will be beaten. Three of them have already beaten 2.22 over slow tracks.

Hartford Courant: Within two weeks work will begin on laying the mains for Glastonbury water works. Messrs Good hue and Hicks, of the East Hartford Wa ter Company, have arranged for the erec- tion of shanties for the workmen and at tending to other details. The pipe is on the way and is expected to arrive in day or two. They have come to settlement with all the mill owners on the stream, with the exception of Howe Brothers, who are at its head. As they were unable to make satisfactory settlement with these people, they are to take the water from the stream below the mill. About 15O men will be employed. One gang will start at East Hartford and work south, and another at Welles corner and work north. The line is to be extended as far south on Main-st. as the academy, but this will probably not be done before next spring. A fourteen-inch iron main will be used from the stream to Welles corner, a twelve-inch main until East Hartford is reached, and thence ten-inch pipe. The fall from the stream to East Hartford is 15O feet. The company has not decided whether to build a reservoir or not. It expects to complete the job before December.

Recently the employees of the Meriden street railway company struck because a discharged workman was not, on their demand, reinstated. After few days of agitation during which nothing was &C., complished, either by the directors of the road nor by the strikers, the road was closed, the horses turned out to pasture, and the citizens walk. The strikers were non plussed, and there is nothing left for them but to find something else to do. The strike is one of many instances, in which the right to be employed, whether an employer is willing or not, is brought out as right to be enforced It has a decided socialistic look. ...

Pennsylvania's output of coal is being reduced because of accumulations in the hands of the producers and the decreased demand owing to increased prices. Many persons who have usually bought early to get the advantage of midsummer rates, are holding off for drop in prices, and in cities where gas is reasonably cheap there will be an increased use of it for heating and cooking purposes.
 There is woman in Key West, Fla, not yet forty years old, who is great great-grandmother. She is Cuban, and her name is Cortessio. When but thir- teen years old her first child was born-a daughter. When fourteen years old this daughter gave birth to daughter, and the latter has discounted the performance of her ancestors by becoming the mother of lusty son at the tender age of twelve.
 MT. Gladstone was so much annoyed by the questions of an opponent while speak ing, the other day, that he turned upon and said "I am not responsible for your understanding.
