Fish at Pontiac, and it is now stated upon
good authority that the capture of the
guilty parties may occur within the next
two days.
Yesterday morning three suspicious
looking young men, who answered the
description of the parties who shot Mr..
Fish and his son, entered we'll known
resort in the Pawtuxet Valley, and while
lettering around made lumber of re-
marks which aroused the suspicious of
the proprietor OF the place.
Detective Lynch was immediately
notified by telephone, and at 1:30 p. NJ.
Mr.. Lynch accompanied by four War
wick officers started in chase.
Leaving River Point a vigorous search
through Clyde, Phenix, Harris. Ark

the party returning explored River Point,
Arctic, Jericho and Centreville.
Two suspicious persons were met near
the Centreville depot and stopped, but il
was ascertained that they were not the
parties concerned in the affray.
AT O'Clock last night it was rumored
throughout the many valley villages that
the parties had been captured, but such
was not the case.
This morning at o'clock one OF the fupi-
tives and one of the same parties who
was observed yesterday, was again OBJ
served In River Point and he had evil

James Fish, the proprietor OF the Pom
tiac store aud the first person shot in the
ahray, Is confident that they will soon be

res: ed.
The citizens OF the town are now thoro-
ughly aroused and every person bearing
any resemblance to the suspected parties
will be arrested and held until their in
nocence is fully proven.

COMING BORDEN TRIAL.
The Question of the Place Where the
Trial Shall be Held.
THE ALLEGED BURNED DRESS.
The Defendant is Very Much Distressed,
Though She is Able tn Preserve a
Calmer Exterior Than some Of the
Other Parties Less Interested.

FALL RIVER, Dec. 7-Speculations con
cerning all phases of the Borden case
have taken on an increased activity, and
II is more generally talked of than the
city election. Regarding the place OF
trial the Fall River News saws.
On the ground of economy, hotel and
court conveniences and the accommoda-
ton of a majority OF all interested In the
case, Fall River has the strongest claim to
have the trial conducted here. To say
that the sentiment of this community
would be Prejadiciaf to an impartial trfat
Is nonsense. The trial ought to take place
in this city. The defence has already In
timated that it prefers that the trial
should be held here. aud quotes the broad
laws OF the constitution TO show that 1t
should take place AS soon as possible, and
as near the place OF commission as con-
venient.
The dress which is alleged to have beeu
burned is believed by many TO have be-
come. through newspaper reports, of
more than warrantable Importance in
establishing the guilt Of the prisoner.
The evidence given before the grand jury.
they say, was necessarily tinged with a
governmental flavor but il must be re-
membered that the defence has not vet
been submitted, nor were the defendants
many sbtouS polubS DtOukub OUT 10 the
best advantage; besides much of the tes-
timony given by government witnesses
can be contradicted by witnesses yet to
be called.
John V. Morse intends TO leave for mis-
nome In Iowa at once, where neglected
business interests demand his attention.
He goes with the full consent of his
bondsmen aud will be within call when
ever his presence here Is desired. The
length OF his stay is otherwise not deter
mined.
Miss Emma Borden has been confined
to her bed since Friday. She went to
Taunton at noon on that day before she
was informed of the action of the grand
jury. and the shock and disappointment
unnerved her.
Miss Lizzie Borden, though trying to
bear up under the awful charges that
confront her, is also much distressed,
though she brings her unusual will power
into play when special ordeals confront
her.

IN A GALE WITHOUT A PILOT.

Vessel Goes Ashore at the Mouth of the
Mersey and IL Soon Dashed to Pieces.
LIVERPOOL, Dec. IA heavy gale pre-
walls in this vicinity and tremendous sea
Is running at the mouth of the Mersey,
making 1t extremely dangerous for vessels
to seek to enter or clear the river.
The Norwegian bsrque Drinningen ran
aground on Burbo Bank. It was evident,
from the manner in which she was hand
led, that she had no pilot on board. The
sea soon made a clean sweep over her.
Fifteen minutes after she struck her main
mast and mizzentopmast went over the
side. shortly afterwards the vessel fell
over on her side and was completely sub
merged.
Lifeboats put out for the bark as soon as
the vessels position was seen, but their
progress against the wind and sea was
slow, and the barque went down before
they reached her. Not a living person
could be found. The lost vessel was
bound from Fleetwood for this port.

Boston, Dec. THE students at Har-
