HOPE FOR LIZZIE BORDEN.
The Present Grand jury Evidently Be-
litye Her Innocent.

The Present Grand jury Evidently Be
lieve Her Innocent.
BosroN, Nov &C., The grand jury
which has been considering the charges
of murder against Lizzie Borden has, SO
far as is absolutely known, kept its oath
and divulgeG none Of its proceedings in
that most important ana memorable case.
The attorney general and district att9r
ney. though not necessarily oath bound,
arc absolutely non-commlttal. Never
tlielnss, there are good reasons for the
pfyv..lrut belief that no Indictment will
be returned again.t Miss Borton ut the
present session OF the srist3l county
court This may mean that the unfor-
t,lnatn Young woman is to be set at lib
ertv on December /, when the court is to
come in, or that she is simply to be re
leased from Jail and regarded as a sGs-
poet 1t is pretty we'll assured that the
government has not been able to convince
u majority Of the jurors that justice
requires Miss l'ordens appearance be
fore a trial jury.
The only evidence produced WAS that
which was given at the preliminary hear
| ng or the case in Fall River, and to the
mind of the community at large this was
| barely sufficient to constitute Il probable
cause for holding Miss Borden for the
grand jury. 50 after several days work
the grand jury was abruptly dismissed
| for ten days or until December I. 1t is
| positively asserted by one correspondent
at Taunton, the seat of Bristol county,
| that the attorney general, who contrary
! to custom had been present in the grand
| Jury room with the district attorney, had
ordered the proceedings stopped because
| he recognized the frailtv Of the state s
case and that when court comes in he
Will procure Miss Borden's release and
thus put it out of his power to again ever
apprchend her for the murder Of her
father and step-mother.
Another opinion is that She will be
allowed to escape Indictment and be suf-
| frred to continue under the shadow Of
| guilt unless new evidence Shall be OBJ
tanned against her or until the actual
murderer it found. The only thing that
appears to be absolutely sure at present
is that the present grand jury believes
her innocent. The prisoner by strcnu-
Gus efforts preserves her wonderful self
control, though the strain upon her ner-
vous system is terribly evident. She is
| frequently visited by her friends and her
consel, and they do not conceal their sat
taken.

Seen IN the Metropolis.

A refuse cart was close to the curb on
Thirty seventh street, between Madison
and Fifth avenues, recently, While the
driver, q healthy young lrishman, talked
to a woman who had on each side a little
chap dressed in sailor costume. Most
passersby must have taken her for a
nurse out with her charges from one Of
the fashionable houses near by. After
two minutes talk the woman lifted the
lads one by one to the side of the rough
driver, who had carefully spread a piece
of stout paper over his cargo to protect
the clothing of the children.
One lad, tucked close under the driv-
er's arm, was permitted to hold the reins,
while the other poked the staid horse
with short stick. The three drove of
eastward, smiling, while the woman fol.
lowed on the sidewalk. The children
were the drivers own, and they were as
well dressed as half the children native
to the locality i'll which the scene oc,
curred.-New York Sun.

The Puritan.

The Puritan Mining and Milling com
pany, which has enjoyed unprecedented
success since its advent in this district
last spring, is progressing rs usual, and
although the mill has been shut down
for few days Of the past week, the OPP
crations at the mine continue with the
same push and energy, and each days
development adds value to it. The mine
is opened up to such an extent right now
that its production would keep Il so
stamp mill in operation providing it
could all be worked by the process em-
ployed at the present 2O-stamp Algonquin
mill. This, however, appears to be the
only obstacle now to contend with; the
ore is becoming more base as depth is
attained, and contains SO much gnlena
that some annoyance is already expert
enced from it in the mill. The company
seemed to realize the possibility OF such
experience, however, before the mill was
put in motion and made known their
intention at that time to build a smelter
providing the future should prove the
requirement Of the same for working
the ore Therefore, it is not at all un-
likely that the early spring will see such

The discovery was considered q ten

They kept the find secret fox several
weeks, during which q shaft was sunk

whole mountain was composed Of it. A
large pile Of stuff was heaped near the
mine ready for shipment, and the miners
had scheme to flood the market with
their product and rake in $1,000 900 at
one fell swoop. Monday the colonefs

of grub and the former remained behind
to guard the treasure.

that he has always favored govern
ment control of the railroads, but
does not favor their ownership by the
government, with the greatly increas-
ed public patronage resulting. land the
opportunities for corruption and the
retention of power by the party in
control.
Continuing, the General said that
the prospect for Democratic success
in this district appears to be very
slim, now that the Peoples party con-
vention has made the uniting OF the
two parties upon one man impossible.
He would not care to accept the Dem
ocratic nomination, if offered him, as
it would be waste of time and mon
ey to make the canvass. Had the
Peoples party and the Democrats
united upon candidate there would
have been a fighting chance for sue
cess. 1t is difficult to see what the
Democrats can do now, unless some
one will accept the nomination fer
the honor that there is in it.

GEN. POPE EXPLAINS.

Gen. Pope's statement before the
Peoples party convention that he
Thought that any good Democrat OF
good Republican could endorse the
principles of the Peoples party as set
forth in the St. Louis platform, was
surprise to many of his friends. To
FREE PRESS reporter, however, he
has made statement of his position
which qualities in some measure the
seemingly broad assertion made last
Thursday. In the first place what he
said was that he thought that any
good Democrat or any good Republi.
can, 'sor any other good citizen, u
could endorse the principles of the
Peoples party.
The sections of the St. Louis plat
form relating to money are as follows:
We recommend national currency,
safe, sound and flexible, issued by the
general government only, full legal
tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate, and that without theuse of
banking corporations, a just, equit-
able and efficient means of circula-
tion. direct to the people, at tax not
to exceed two per cent, as set forth
in this sub-treasury plank Of the
Farmers Alliance or some better sys-
tenn. We demand the free and IN
limited coinage of silver.
Gen. Pope says that he does not be.
lieve in the sub-treasury plan, as nc
sensible man does, but favors "some
beJter system" than the present il
one can be found. 1t has not been
found yet, so he favors the continu.
ance of the present system until a
better system is found. He believes
that any other good citizen, Demo
GRAFT or Republican, would take the
same ground as he does.
In regard to silver coinage he be-
lieves in an unlimited coinage of sill
yer, but beside it would place an un
limited coinage of gold, and would
not pay more for the silver bullion
than it is worth.
Another section of the ST. Louis
| platform says that Transportation
being a means of exchange and a pub
JIG necessity. the government should
own and operate the railroads in the
interests Of the people," 1t also de
clares that the telegraph and tele
phone 'shouldsbe' owned and operated
by the government in the interests O.
the people.
| Regarding this, Gen. Pope states
