MISS BORDEN GOES FREE.

People the country over have been watching with intense interest, akin to excitement, the trial of Miss Lizzie Borden of Fall River Tor the murder ot her parents, and there was gen eral appreciation when the verdict announcing her Innocent was made known by the daily papers. The Springfield Union says "Theju TOTS before whom Lizzie Borden was tried and who have sent her baclSto her home by u yer diet which pronounced her innocent ofthe ter rible crime with which she was charged, de thor Mss Borden nor her counsel have asked for mercy, and the result of the trial IS most satisfactory to lovers ot fair play. It is i'm possible to say too much in praise oithe court. Every right of the accused was scrupulously guarded, while the prosecution was allowed Rs much latitude as was consistent with fair ness. Judge pewey's charge was Q model oi clearness and impartiality. No man on the of law, and he has the splendid faculty oi speaking not only as a judge, but as n man, B faculty a Jury never fails to take note of His charge favored the prisoner for the reason that the facts favored her. The Borden case Is the most remarkable of any capital case tried in this country for many years. The crime itself was most horrible, and the police authorities of the city in which it was commit ted promptly decided that the youngest daugh ter of the murdered couple was the guilty one In view Of the verdict rendered, perhaps one theory as to the real circumstances of the kill ing Is as good as another. but the striking and altogether most unpleasant feature ofthe case from the moment that the crime was discov cred k that a woman against whom not a sin gle piece of convincing evidence could be brought has been kept in jail nearly year and then presented to jury as one against whom the most damning proof of guilt could be presented" "rhe extraordinary feature o this caso," said the Springfield Republican "as it appears today, Is that after the search ing scrutiny ofa trial of which the prosecution was conducted by able and vigilant lawyers, supported by a merciless police, il remains even more an impenetrable mystery than ever. Andrew J. Borden and his wifi, were butcherod in the most demoniacal fash ton in their own home in tho heart of popu lous city while the sun was high and all th' neiglibors were awake. The alarm cam' within few minutes after the second tragedy and the police began at once their hunt for th' assassin. They searched high and low for tra ces Of the fiend. Nearly year has passed and the state of Massachusetts contesses to tn whole world that it knows nothing Of the pel petrator of those fearful crimes. Yea, it ad mits that 1t is possible for person to do thes things within one of Ats cities and escape dis covery." When the decision was announces in court, there was a scene of wild enthusiasm which even the sedate judge did not attemp to check. It was remarkable trial and tn public is satisfied with the verdict.

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.
 At a special town meeting held at the Town hall, Tuesday, June 20, k. Living ston Wells was nominated as chairman. The warning was read by Sherih Pike. The minutes of the last meeting were read. The first question in the warning was to consider the appropriating sum of money for repairing and grading certain piece of road oa ''CunXis Hill, so called. c. 5. Or spoke on the al- most impossible condition of the road quite eloquently and handed in peti- Jion signed by tax payers in that con- munity, that $1, 500 be appropriated for the purpose of putting in good repair the road in question. w. H.. Burr thought $50 ought to put it in good shape. Sever al more spoke in favor of it, when Judge J. II. Perry made motion that the se- lectmen be empowered to put in good repair the road at cost not to exceed $l,500. Mir Perry spoke favorably in having good roads in the town, no mat ter where they might be located. The motion was carried unanimously. Dr Donaldson asked if survey and esti- mate had beeu made to which Selectman Jennings replied in the affirmative, and the road is to be commenced on at once. The next question was the considering of apprOpriating money for the purpose of building a new road in front of the Congregational church, Southport, to the tunnel under the track, Some op- position seemed to arise to this, but 1t was tinially carried by rising and count ing the votes after it was tried twice by the ives" and mo- Simon Banks spoke of the sign the railroad company had put up forbiding treaspassing eX- cept for the purpose of going to the de- tn oh thprn had always been crossing near there and there probably always would be. and the sooner the town asserted her rights the better. The motion to open the road was carried by 40 to 26. The next ques- tiOn was regarding the laying special tax for defraying the expenses, to which Judge Perry replied. he thought 1t un- necessary till we knew how much we needed, when it could be done at the an nual meeting in October. It was agreed upon and the meeting adjourned.
 MISS OTSTOTT GOES TO GREENWICH.
 The many friends of Miss Otstott of the Middle school are pained to learn thai she is to sever her connections with the school, having accepted d fine position al a private school in Greenwich. Miss Ot stOtt has taught in the public schools o1 this town over + years continuously anc was undoubtedly the best and most sue cessful primary teacher we had. It is z near-sighted policy that leads our schoo authorities to dispense with the services of teacher of such ability and expert ence, in order to maintain a uniform scale of salaries. It is we'll known among Miss Otstott's friends that the methods pursued by the present board is the prin cipal cause of her change, and while they may be right in the point of law, it ii very evident that they do not always work to the advantage of the schools Miss Otstott had received other flatter ing offers of schools. She goes to Green wich on the endorsement of Agent War ren of the state board of education, who spoke highly of her abilities, after hi recent examination of schools.

The Minnesota Senator Informing
Himself Regarding Hawaii.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-Senator Davis
is making a thorough study of the
Hawaiian matter. He has read about
all the diplomatic correspondence to be
had, and took home from the Capitol
all the books that furnish any informa-
tion on the subject. Speaking of the
position of the United States regarding
these islands. Senator Davis says that
two years after this country recognized
their independence Daniel Webster,
in state paper. said that the
manifest destiny of these islands was
to unite with this country, and that
every secretary of state from that time
forward had taken the same position.
The ablest paper on the subject was by
Secretary Blaine. and in Senator Davis
opinion it was one of the ablest papers
ever written by that statesman. Senator
Davis seemed to think the United States
must surely acquire the islands on some
conditions. 1t is also apparent that the
senate will be of that opinion. although
opposition may be found in the house.
but will finally he overcome.

NOT YET RECEIVED.

The Anticipated Protest from Eng,
land Has Not NIaterializeG.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Lit is stated
that the report that the protest of
England against the annexation of
Hawaii by the United States would I've
presented Immediately is premature.
1t was said at the state department.
that it had not been received, and there
was no intilnation that it would como
soon, but the opinion prevailed that it
might be expected at any time.
Lord Roseberry's statement to the
Hawaiian charge, at London, that Eng
land, France and Germany would pro-
test against the annexation of Hawaii
by the United States, is believed to have
good foundation only SO far as England
is concerned. The interests Of France
and Germany are not Of sufficient inn
portance to warrant either OF them in
proceeding, even so far as a protest.
against the political absorption of the
islands by the Uuited States. in case it
was deemed best by this country to take
that action.
Expects England TO Protest.
DR.. Mott Smith. the Hawaiian repre-
sentative here. expects England to pro-
test and to protest vigorously. He
thinks there will be concentration of
naval forces OF England nov, in the Pa
citic ocean at Honolulu of making a
demonstration. But it is not probable,
in the opinion of DR.. Smith. that this
will affect the sentiment OF the people
in any way. The commercial interests
of Hawaii are practically all with the
United States. and although the SYM
pathies of the native population, under
the influence of the ma:nbers OF the
royal family, are undoubtedly with
England, still the property interest OF
the islands will eventually control it's
destiny. That interest is in favor of
political incorporation with the United
States.

you make statement about my betting on
the senatorial election which puts me in
an unjust position. You are aware that
numerous "wind- bets" are being made
just now, which mean nothing but an ex-
preston of opinion, the impression that
any statement of mine amounted to any
thing more than that, is altogether wrong.
One ought not to be held accountable
seriously for such expressions made in
argument or jest.
The magnanim0us and manly talk of
Senator Casey to his friends in conference
last evening made him many friends. He
satisfied them that party was above indi-
vidual so far as he was concerned.
