Irving Lizzie Borden.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June o.
Perhaps the most sensational trial
New England has ever had in half
century or more is that which
will begin this week, when Lizzie
Borden will be arraigned for the
murder of her father and STEP
mother. The case is full of mystic
ries, and the public has been made
thoroughly familiar with all the
details of the terrible tragedy. The
story of the life of the rich mill
owner, Borden Of his second mar
riage, of the discord between wife
and daughter have all been gone
over. The motive for the crime
has been looked for in the fact that
the will owner was to leave all
his wealth to his wife, leaving
Lizzie and her sister depen-
dent upon the step-mother.
Accommodations for fifty news
paper men have been prepared, and
an extra venire of jurymen has
been drawn by the clerk of the
court, whose name, singularly
enough, is Simeon Borden, Jr. He
is in no way related to the defen-
dant.
Ex-Governor George d. Robin
son, who will act as senior counsel
for Lizzie Borden, comes from Chi
copee; Melvin o., Adams from
Boston; Mr.. Jennings from Fall
River. Acknowledgement Pillsbury
has charge Of the prosecution.

The Antitrust Fight.

CHICAGO, June "a new move
ment against trusts is the conven-
ton to be held at Chicago today
and tomorrow, composed of dele
gates selected by governors of
States, in accordance with a call
issued by the governor of Mime
sofa, acting under instruction of
the legislature of this state. An
nouncement is made that twenty
six states will be represented. 1t
is therefore likely that the conven-
ton will be well attended, as many
of the other states will also send
delegates. The people of Minnesota
have been waging bitter war
against a combination of coal deal
ers, and they are evidently deter
mined to push fighting all along
the line, but believe that greater
results can be accomplished if
other states cooperate.

How Fires Affect People.

In fire you get very close down to
human nature observes the New York
Sun. The other night an apartment
house took fire. There was no time
10 be lost by the inmates. A mother
scantily clad and crying, took out her
two little children A wife buttoned
herself in her long newmarket and ran,
leading her brown -eared setter. A de-
voted son aud daughter on the top floor
dressed warmly their helpless old mo-
Their of 50 and waited to carry her, if
need be, across the fire escape. One
woman put on ur:-ined cape over
her night dress and came forth with IA
travelling bag filled with silver. A
young widow ran for her new Sunday
frock and took down the departed ones
portrait Another Gil ne forth fully
equipped as for church, in jacket, tip
ped nat, and crimps. Another young
woman leftall her belongings and fed
IN her night dress, b'is.ering h.r bare
feet on the cinders, and ran down the
street calling for a carriage. Another
got her valuables in her sealskin coat,
and finding the smoke not too threat
ening, fished out her long-tailed gown
and the black silk silhouettes Of her
grandfather and grandmother, which
she knew she couldn't replace. One
man contented himself with bath
robe, another dressed himself in his
fourth hand tie and scarf pin.

Nickolis Tesla, 'oung Hungarian
of fortune, who has devoted himself to
the study OF electricity and has been
working for some years in Edison's lad
'oratory, has startled scientific men BY
advancing and apparently maintaining
the most original and revolutionary
views as to the nature of electricity
Before learned audience in the hall of
the Franklin Institute, Philadelphla,
Pa, on February a, Tesla is said to
have deliberately allowed current OF
two hundred thousand volts to pass
through his body without apparent dis
comfort and illuminate bulb which
he held containing sulphase Of caleb
um. Ten thousand volts has hereto
fore been considered something remark
able, but Tesla claims to have secured
three million vibrations second and
seems to have found the secret of SAFE
~ handling this prodigious power =
His Philadelphia display seems 70 have
been conducted maiLly with view to
| arresting attention, as he did not oiier
any explanation of his methods or dis
| coveries although he has made brief
| statements of his theory. He believes
that the earth is filled with capabits
of electrical vibration, and that tho on
" problem is to awaken this force. At
Niagara, he says, enough force can be
secured 10 start an earth vibration that
will give force enough to supply tn
needs of the human race twice over
To use this force machines may be
built to catch and respond to the earth .
| motion. On this principle he has built
| machines for his experiments, and he
! claims that machine constructed in
the same way, can transmit q message
through the earth without the aid OF
! wires, so that it may be read at Paris
or Hong Kong. 'If l can not do it ]
am willing to lay my head on the gull
lotlne' said Tesla.
"rhere would have to be syl.chron-
ism between the electrical swinging Of
the earth and the machine. For ex-.
ample, l hold a glass to my mouth and
speak; the glass IS shattered. My voice,
to do this, must have the same reson.
ance as the glass. Such conceive to
be the secret of all nature - resonance.
The electrical machines must. therefore
be in harmony with The earth's elect
rlcity.
DR.. Vail, secretary of Franklin In
stltute says that to much can not Ne
said of Tesla's genius, and that he has
distanced all the electricians "WhY,
when he was experimenting with some
of his high currents the very air around
was polarized aud glowed. The whole
room seemed to be Illuminated, lamps
not in circuit were mabe incandescent
by sympathy. AID in the midst OF it
all stood Tesla like demon or y wierd
magician.
There is not likely to be any humbug
about man whe so boldly challenges
the scrutiny Of scientific body like the
Franklin Institute, and if his theories
are correctly reported We are on the
verge of new and amazing disclosures
of facts and forces undreamed Of and
destined to make the tsleghone and
telegraph and other marveIs Of the age,
pale into ins'gnificance.
