FALL RIVERS MYSTERY.



FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 11.--An
officer who is very close to the head of
the department, says that he has no
doubt Of the ultimate arrest of some
one Of the Borden family, but which
one he would not or could not say.
DR.. Handy furnishes very sugges-
tive hint as to the probable murder Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Borden. He says that
about 10 a. m. on Thursday last he saw
q man standing on Second street, little
south of the Borden residence, the man
having such y terribly unusual appear
ance ab to attract his attention. The
stranger was CHASTITY white, and seemed
very much agitated. The doctor could
certainly identify the man he observed,
as he was SO struck by his desperatellook-
ing character that he turned around his
carriage and gazed at him for a consid-
erable time. The police begin to put
some credence in this rumor. as il was
said that man answering this descrip-
tion was seen by Officer Hyde about the
same time.
The examination of Lizzie Borden
was resumed yesterday behind closed
doors. 1t is said that Miss Borden was
asked some nerve shaking questions,
and when she came from the matron's
room her face was tear stained, and she
was very much upset. There was a
great difference between her appearance
before and after the examination.

BELvIDERE, N. j., Aug. 11.-Patrick
Quinn, an operator at. the Delaware
station of the Western Union Telegraph
company, was shot in the head and neck
by Miss Hattie Acres, of Cresco, Pa,
who came all the way from that place
with the intention of killing Quinn.
She regarded Quinn as her lover. 1t is
said that the shooting was the outcome
of Quinn's deserting her. Immediately
after the shooting the young woman
ewallowed the contents of bottle con-
tanning laudanum. Prompt medical aid
soon brought her out of danger. On re-
covering she asked if Quinn was dead,
and said it would be better if both were
out of the world. Quinn was removed
to his home at Oxford. He may re-

NINETY WERE LOST.
Details of the Marine Disaster
Near Helsingfors, Finland.
IT WAS CAUSED BY A COLLISION.

The Excursion Steamer Ajax Crash ed
Into by the Steamer RuneDurg.
Ninety Lives Probably Lost, the
Bodies of Thirty-Five Bodies Hav.
ing Been Recovered.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 11.--The pleas
ure steamer reported as having been run
) down outside of Helsingfors was named
the Ajax. She was hardly seaworthy,
and was only used for running along
the coast. She left Helsingfors Sunday
with 100 excursionists on board. Her
return was delayed and she arrived off
Helsingfors after midnight. The chan
mel is very narrow and navigation in the
darkness was very slow. When the
narrowest part of the channel was
reached, the steamer Runeburg was met
gAng out. The captain of the Ajax, in
stead of following the rule and passing
the outgoing steamer to port, caused his
helm to be put hard down and attempted
TO cross the bow Of the Runeberg. Be-
fore the latter could alter her course
she struck the Ajax and crashed into
the latter's rotten timbers as though
they were matchwood.
A fearful panic ensued. The excur-
sionists ran hither and thither wildly
shrieking for help. All discipline was
lost and the crew made rush for the
boats. But there was no time to cast
them loose, for in minute after she was
struck the Ajax sank, As soon as posi-
BILE the engines of the Runeberg were
reversed and she went astsrn at full
speed until she grounded short dis
tance from the scene of the collision.
Those on board of her threw overheard
hfebuoys, boxes, chairs, tables-in fact,
anything that would foat-to help to
support the struggling people in the
water. Her boats were lowered away
and pulled back to the scene Of the ac-
cident, but the night was dark that it
was almost impossible to distinguish OBJ
jets half boats length away. The
bostmen succeeded in saving number
OF the passengers and crew.
The first report of the accident stated
that forty-fiye persons were lost, but
later details show that tho number was
much greater. Ninety persons are re-
ported to be missing, and of this num-
Der the bodies of thirty-fve have been
recovered.

TEE KNIGHTS THMPLAR.
They Decide That the Same Ritual shaA.
be Used In All Sections.

De Obed In All beotions.
T DENVER, Aug. 11.-The grand encamp-
ment did big days work yesterday.
Sir q. @. Conner was the happiest Tenn
plar In town when it was completed, for
the rituals of the Red Cross and Order
Of the Temple degrees, as reported from
the ritual committee, were unanimously
adopted. The same ritual for Knights
Templar work will now be the same in
every commandery in the United States.
1t was o'clock last night before the
encampment adjourned. Business was
resumed this forenoon at $780, Election
of officers will be the first matter to be
disposed Of. At this order of business
no one but members of the encampment
are allowed to be present No nomina-
tions are made under Templar law, SO
no ticket is In the field. There does not
seem to be any doubt but that Hon.
Hugh McCurdy, deputy grand master,
will be called upon to be Grand Master
Gobin's successor. 1t is probable that
the place for holding the next triennial
conclave will be decided upon today.
Several Thousand people witnessed the
exhibition drill yesterday at River
Front Park. It had been decided by
Grand Master Goblin that there could be
no competitive drill, because he thought
1t might create unfriendly rivalry in the
order, SO only the exhibition was per-
mitted. The formations from circles to
columns, crosses, diamonds and steady
marching were well executed and fire.
quently applauded. The horses used
had never before drilled, but all things
considered they acted very we'll.
No prizes will be given, but the Cham
Der of Commerce will give handsome
present to each commandery.
