LIZZIE BORDEN'S CASE
Indictments May be Brought
 Against Two Witnesses.
GRAND JURY PROCEEDING SLOWLY

They Arc Giving tho Evidence a Yer,
 Thorough Sifti"g-The Murders and tn Subsequent Proceedings Again the Great Topic of Conversation in Fall Rtvsr.
 FALL RIVER, Mass, Nov. IS. The Borden murders are again the prominent subject of conversation in this city, and rumor is being generally circulatel that indictments may be brought against two persons other than Miss Liz zie Borden, provided the jury finds a yer dict of guilty against her.
 These persons have been intimately connected with the case, more particu larly since police attention was directed to it. On the stand they have proved to be not only unwilling, but even mislead- ing, witnesses.
 Attorney General Pillsbury pressed one of these witnesses very hard, in q manner which left no doubt in the minds of the jurymen that he proposes to have the whole truth, if the hearing is pro = longed three months.
 Because of the reticence of the persons indicated, the police and other the authorities have been to great deal oi trouble and expense in getting evidence of the family relations day or two prevl- ous to the murders; consequently there is much feeling expressed against them in police circles.
 The closest friends of Miss Borden, who have thought the prisoner may possibly be proven guilty by the law have coE- tended all along that some kind of a con- spiracy must have preceded the affair, and that perphaps one, probably two per sons talked of were accessories before the fact.
 It is evident from the few words spokel by local witnesses who have given testi- mony within the past two days, that the present grand jury is a very exactins body and proposes to hear all the govern ment can offer before agreeing thai Lizzie Borden committed the crimes.
 They ask many pointed questions ana are giving the evidence a very thorougl sitting. It is expected that the granC jury will visit this oity to-day and view the scene of the murders.

THE COMET COMING NEARER,

It Is Now Visible to the Naked Eye In the
 Constellation of Andromeda.
 Boston, Nov 1S.-The comet is coming nearer the earth, and is now double th, size it was when first discovered.
 It occupies IS minutes of the arc o which it, at first sight, occupied only Prof. Pickering so informed a reporte who questioned him about the new wan derer.
 He said it had been photographed sev eral times nightly, but these photo graphs, when shown to the reporter looked like mere black dots on the mega tive glass, surrounded by fainter brown ish band.
 The fact that the comet is headed al most directly this way is sufficient ex planation why only the head can b seen. The general opinion is that th comet Is becoming fainter, its light more diffusive, in fact, that it is scattering This may be in part caused by it's near ing the sun.
 Prof. Pickering, on being asked if h, had yet been able to make an estimate a to how near the earth it would come which question involved another as t, when it would turn in it's path aroun, the sun, replied that it's orbit could no yet be determined.
 No computations have been made here for as yet not enough of its arc has beel revealed.
 The comet is now visible to the naked eye in the constellation Andromeua d With a field glass the sight is very good

slowly homo again, carefully closing the big doors of the rambling mansion behind him as he disappears from pub lie view. When be was a stripling of twenty-three his learning and acumen was such that he was consulted by the older heads. There are many of MT. Evarts' friends in Wall street. His law offices have been there for many years. They tell about the mans great vic tories in politics and law. How EvartS proceeded against the Cleopatra flibus- ters in 1851; how he nominated Sew ard for presidents; how he ran against Greeley for the senate in 1861; how he established the right of the United States in times of war to treat captured vessels as maritime prizes; how he proved In great lawsuit the unconsti- tutionality of the act taxing govern ment bonds; how he defended President Johnson in the impeachment trial be- fore the senate in 1868; how he adjust ed tho Alabama claims at Geneva; how he defended Henry Ward Beecher in the celebrated trial of seventeen years ago; how he advocated the claims of the re publican party before the electoral com mission In 1877; how he was secretary oi state under Hayes; how he was dele, gate to the monetary congress at Paris in 1881; how he served in the senate in 1885; how he delivered the eulogy on Chief Justice Chase in 1878; the centen- nial oration in 1876; speeches at the Webster statue and at the statue of Lib erty given by France to America He has been known to have received as high as s25, 900 to $50, ,OoO for an opinion He used to be the representative of tke richest corporations In will cases in volving millions, too, his advice has al ways been sought The famous Parrish case, in the family of the widow oi President Tyler, shows what Evarts has done in this line of practice"

A FAMOUS LAWYER.
William Maxwell Evarts Now Liv'
 ing in Retirement.
Ills Great Victories in Politics and Law Some Of the Great Speeches Deliv- cred by the Veteran-Opinions
 Worth Q Fortune.

William M. Evarts Is living in most complete retirement in his quaint old mansion near Gramercy Park, New York. He resolutely refuses to discuss public men or events, and 1t Is said he cares little how the great political bat ties wage, except SO far as the fires of past ambition now and again smolder into hamei then he wishes the success of the party to which he gave the best ambitions of his life. But, as far as this world knows, the old Bald Eagle has fought his last fight and now rests content upon his arms, waiting for the victories of a life that is not of the world of men. A day with William Maxwell Evarts in his stately old mansion near Gramercy square would be something never to be forgotten. But Is priv ilage the old campaigner will not read fly accord even his stanchest friends. A recent visitor describes him seated in the park. 'In his hand he has cane. He makes marks in the sand with the stick. He looks about. There is strange, unnatural pallor on his face. It Is face, too, which once seen can never be forgotten. It Is the face of born leader among men. Time, in aging the face, may have stolen away some of the ferceness of tho counte- nance, but even to-day-with the lodg- ment of the snows of many winters in his hair, with his form shrunken so that it no longer fills the long, old-time frock coat-there Is, in the hard lines ot the face, the conscious power to wieid and manage men. Caesar had that inn perious look, no doubt; Napoleon had it. no doubt; Luther had it. no doubt; so did Washington; and so has this old man. Cesar and Bonaparte were small men, too, like this one. Some children are playing near the flowers; they romp near the strangers seat; he takes one of them on his knee and talks to the child like some good grandfather; it is pleasant picture; the children run and play; the old man looks fondly after them. He sits in the park until the sun grows disagreeably hot; then he goes

WHEN Vice President Adlai E. Steven son calls the United States senate to order next March but little over four years will have intervened since his name was sent in to that august body for the vacancy on the bench of the supreme court of the District of Colum- bia. The republican senate refused to confirm the nomination, preferring to leave the vacancy unified until after the inauguration of President Harrison. The office has life tenure, and if MT Stevenson had been confirmed he could not have been thrust out of his place. He would have been there to-day, in- stead of being about to occupy the second highest office in the gift of the people of the United States.

Tho government tract of land at West Point contains about 2, 100 acres; most of which was purchased in 1790, from the son of one of the original patentees; the rest was purchased in 1894.

TIE Washington correspondent of the Boston Herald has made an estimate of the position of the next house of repre- sentatives on the silver question. He reports that a free coinage bill will have little chance in that body. On a con- servative count not less than 10l mem- bers can be relied on to vote the honest money side, leaving only 1G2 to go the other way. By these figures there will be at the lowest a clear majority of 32 against free coinage. That is good news.

TIE crocodile tears now being shed by Secretary Noble and Superintendent Porter, because two census bureau em- ployes have been detected in crooked work, one trying to steal votes in New York and the other furnishing the government false reports on Alaska, for use before the Behring sea court of ar bitration, are odd, to say the least, when the record of the bureau is called to mind.

Salaries of Schoolteachers.

From statistics recently published it appears that the west is more liberally disposed toward teachers than any other section of the country. The average monthly salary paid to public school teachers in the United States is SAP. 43. The lowest sectional average is in the south Atlantic states, beginning with Delaware and ending with Florida. The average there Is but $2s.11 per month. Next comes the central south ern division with an average of $40. 50 per month. In the north central divi- sion the average is $42. 4S per month. In the north Atlantic states 1t is S4S.3O per month, and in the west 1t is $64S S1 per month. The average cost of public ed ucation per pupil in the United States Is 12.3 cents per day. In the south 1t Is 7.s per day. In the west it runs up to 21.6 per day.

Origin of the Term "BIack Maria.".

An old number of Chambers Journal tells how the term Black Maria came to be applied to police wagons. Marin Lee, a negro woman of gigantic size and prodigious strength, kept a sailors boarding house in the old north end of Boston during colonial days, and fo1 years aided the watch in quelling dis turbances. It is stated that she took to the wstchhouse, at one time, three men who were engaged in riotous ac- tions.

TIE Blaine parade during our presi- dential canvass was one of those little tricks which republican friends play on believe the Irish are taken in, like send ing Patrick Egan to Chili after loading him with insult and abuse, and then pretending that it was Wayne Mac Neagh that spoke despitefully of him. We do not believe that one such trick has ever succeeded, or ever resulted in anything but the moral degradation of it's authors. The "Blaine Irishman" has always been supposed to be the leading dupe of the Irish race; but we doubt even if he was ever successfully i'm posed on. Those Irishmen who went into the Blaine ranks knew perfectly we'll what they were about, and were for the most part as great humbugs as their captors, and winked visibly when reminded by Blaine of what the London Times was saying, and the horrible effects of "British free trade" on Irish industry. Consequently the elaborate preparations made to deceive them are usually a ridiculous waste of money.
 MR CLEvELANp's little speech at the banquet of the New York chamber of commerce will have a happy effect in counteracting the causeless business scare which the republicans are trying so hard to extend over the country. The sensible men of the country know full well that the prosperity of this country is in no danger at the hands of the dem- ocratIc party, but if they had been ever s) uneasy these words from democracy s chosen leader and president-elect would be sufficient to reassure them: "We are all interested as Americans Tn a common pursuit. Our purpose is, or ought to be in our several spheres, to add to the general fund of national prosperity
 From this fund we are all entitled tc draw, perhaps not equally, but justly, each receiving a fair portion of in dividual prosperity. Let us avoid trampling on each other in our anxiety to be first in the distribution of shares and let us not attempt to appropriate the share of others" Is this the Ian guage of a conspirator against his country's welfare, or of a patriotic citi
 zen who believes in every man being given chance to enjoy the greates
 attainable prosperity?
