DAY OF ARGUMENT.
Lizzie Borden Seems Confident and No
Doubt Is.
LADIES ATTEND.
Not One-renth Of the Crowd Could Get
Stats-Ob, What jam.

New BEDFORD, MASS. June 49,
The day of arguments in the Borden
case brought out a terrific jam at
the court house, and over an hour
before the time for opening the doors
were besieged by people, mostly la :
dies in holiday attire, all hoping for
seats,
But there were few seats for ac.
commodation of tenth part Of
claimants and there was much
grumbling in consequence. When
court was ready for opening there
were many ladies standing in the
aisles, but they were quickly ushered
TO the ante-rooms and corridors and
obliged to view the battle from
afar.
The inclosure was packed with
legal lights from all over tie country.
In fact so closely was it packed the
counsel for the prosecution was
obliged to pass behind the justice $
bench, AM thus get to seats
within the bar. When Sheriff
Wright came in the aisles
was cleared in second and every
body obliged to sit down. The jury
took their seats at 1855, looking
quite refreshed after two days rest,
and a few minutes later Miss
Borden came in, bunch of
pinks in her hand and contented
smile on her face. The jury was
polled promptly on the opening of
court, and almost Immediately Gov
ernor Robinson began his argument.

He Was Born a Devil and Was Bound to
Commit Some Terrible Crime.
ASBURY PARK, n. j., June 19.-
The murder of BERTHE Wagner, the
little son of Louis Wagner,a a farmer,
near Howell, N. Y, by George
Wood, boy employed by Mr..
Wagner, has caused intense excite
ment in that portion of Monmouth
county. Young Wood ran
away and has not been arrested.
Wood came from Williamsburg,
where he lived with widowed
mother, about ten days ago. He
was a strong sturdy lad, fourteen
years of age, but very lazy. Satur-
day he was in an ugly mood and Mr..
Wagner decided to send him back
home. Wood went upstairs and
BERTHE followed him. In a few
minutes there was a loud report.
Wood ran down the stairs and meet
ing Mrs. Wagner said, "Bertie did
it."
The child was found lying in
pool Of blood with the
left side of her face and
head blown off. Across his breast
lay his fathers shotgun, one barrel
of which had been discharged. The
child bled to death in three hours.
Neighbors hocked to the house and
stood in the door r-yard discussing
the tragedy. There was no ques-
ton but the child had been shot by
yonng Wood, who was walking
about cool and unconcerned.
When he heard the farmers talk
ing about having him arrested he
escaped to the woods.

Serious Enrolling Errors Discovered to Have
Been Made by House Clerks.

! WASHINGTON, March o0.-In the Senate,
the resolution introduced by Mr.. Cockrel
for reprint of Indian appropriation bill and
which was finally agreed to, led to a long
discussion of the numerous errors discov-
cred in the enrolment of the appropriation
bills.
| Hale said he found more than so errors in
the naval appropriation bill. They were
mainly errors in punctuation and spelling,
but some were important. Grave questions
had been raised by the errors in the appro
priation bills errors committed, not by the
Senate clerks, but by the House clerks.
one of these errors was the insertion of So
instead of S37 900 as the appropriation for
the bureau of engraving and printing. II
was a subject that ought to command the
attention of senators and members who had
the responsibility of legislation. The en-
rolling force ought to be an experienced,
well known, well established force; other
wise Congress will be AT its mercy, and the
gravest errors will be committed. Other
senators spoke To the same effect, all agree
ing that the mistakes were made in the
House.
Plat inquired whether the enrolling force
in the House was not so small that inexpcri-
cnccd people had TO be called in to assist.
German replied that that was absolutely
t ne. He added that one appropriation bill
h al not reached the Senate (euroled) I'M
