MYSTERY IS SOLVED.
Body of David J. Collins
Found Today.
JUMPED OVER THE BRIDGE.
The Badly Decomposed Remains Are
Identified by Relative.

The body OF David j. Collins was found
this morning at 1910 after five days of
searching by the officers and the same
length OF time guessing whether he was
the man who leaped over the Main street
bridge Friday night or whether anyone
went over.
Officers Sword and Hudson went out as
usual this morning and began to drag the
river around the wharves and "Seal rock"
There were few people standing on the
docks and at the time mentioned. John
Min, and James Donnelly caught
sight OF an object resembling the body of q
man between the bow Of the Steamer Pio-
neer and Newell's dock. They called the
oihcers' attention to it and when Sword
rowed up there he found it was the body
OF man floating with the tide.
rope was fastened about it and 1t was
towed to land, opposite Olney & Payne
Bros coal yards.
Chief Perry was itelephoned ito and he
notified Medical Examiner Kelliher.
In the meantime John Collins, an uncle
OF David j. Collins, arrived and identified
the remains.
After the medical examiner had viewed
the body it was given in charge of Under
taker O'Neill to prepare for burial.
The body is badly decomposed. There
are several cuts on the head, probably
caused by striking against something,
and one hand is perfectly white while the
other Is coal black.
The parents live at IL Aver street.

Tomorrow the 40 days limit, a statute
law In regard to the improvement of
streets which Is to the effect that final
action must be taken on matter OF that
kind by the City Council within the time
above mentioned after the report OF
the commissioners, expires.
The city council has been postponing
the matter Of widening East avenue from
time to time, until now they have one day
In which to act or the whole matter will
fall through and another commission will
have to be appointed II the street is to be
widened.
Action was to have been taken at the
meeting Of the Board Of Aldermen last
week but was postponed until tonight at
the request of ID. l.. and l.. b. Goff.
These gentlemen want North Main
street extended through jerks Lane to
East avenue, making a street so feet wide.
II this was done they did not see the
necessity Of making East avenue 90 feet
wide<nd thought so feet would be wide
enough and thus save the city about $780,
900.
As the Messrs. Goff own nearly all the
property In the jerks lane district they
thought they could hx the matter up with
the other abuttefs.
However, they have been unsuccessful,
aud tonight will at the meeting of the
the Board withdraw their OBJ
jection to making East avenue 80 feet
WIDE. Action must be taken tonight.
In the scheme OF widening North Main
street was also included the widening OF
Main street from Fast avenue to Broad
way. widening the granite bridge.

MAYOR HoNEY'S VICTORY.
He 10 Elected to the House by Very big
Majority.

Majority.
There was good deal OF excitement
among the politicians over the victory
OF ex-Mayor Samuel X. Honey In the
special legislative contest In the city of
Newport.
Surprise was expressed on all sides at
the large majority, particularly In con-
sideration OF the very close vote In grand
committee OF the new Legislature.
The Democrats, after the news became
known, said they were going to elect both
members in South Kingstown Oh Thurs
day, and by good majoritles.
Honey Is now mentioned as the chief
member, II not the chairman of the COM
mittee on elections which will be made up
for work before the election of State off,
GERS on Tuesday next.
The election progressed quietly and
without special incident, though a
large vote was polled for bye. election.
The election was for the purpose Of fill
Ing the vacancy cause by the death of
Henry II. Astor Carey.
Ex-Mayor Honey's majority of 419 was
greater than had been expected by either
side, and certainly more than had been
conceded by the Republicans. The total
vote cast was but n less than than that
polled for Second Representative In April
last, the vote for that position then lead
ing the poll.
Carey's majority in April was 800,
which Honey now exceeds by 20.
In the three Republican wards each in
creased slightly its majority over the April
election, the Democratic 18th fell off some-
what, while the 9Th showed sufficient
increase to slightly more than balance
the loss In the 4th.
The vote, according to the Wardens'
count, which will probably be but little
changed when the official figures are an
nounced, was as follows:

and insisted that he must marry her.
Joseph didn't want to DO so, and denied
the paternity of the unborn child.
He told Annie he had arranged with Q
Mrs Lawrence to procure q marriage GER
tificate for him, which would show that
he was married man, and thus clear him
from the trouble and diSpleasurs Of mar

went to the Office of Rev. K. A. Buck,
where the ceremony was to take place.
Two Men Were Present as witnesses.
Mrs. Lawrence did not appear, and Joseph
asked his cousin to act In her stead.
Assured by tie promise that the certin-
cates would be torn up, she stood up and
Mr.. Buck said some kind of . ceremony.
Annie was not quite sure Of It's nature and
made no reply to the questions; neither
did Joseph.

the Hargraves mill.
Next day at noon Joseph came TO ths
mill and persuaded her to 60 home with
him, saying there was some trouble about
the previous days proceedings and she
was really his wife.
They went to Joseph's house, and his
sister produced a marriage certificate.
Joseph's mother said that the thing was
done, and they had better make the best
of it, This Annie refused to do, declaring
she would take steps to annui the mar
riaQe.
Joseph did not appear In court, and the
case was continued. In the meantime q

LIZZIE BORD[N'S TRIAL
Government 10 Work on
Six Features.
WHAT THE DEFENSE WILL BE
The Robbery Of Mr.. Borden's Safe, the
Defense Say, Can Easily Be Net.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May x.-It II
understood that the government will bring
into prominence six leading features In
the coming trial of Lizzie A. Borden.
These are () the alleged burning Of .
dress by the defendant on the day follow
ing the murders; (2) the mysterious rob
berry of Andrew Borden's safe some
months before his death; (D the alleged
strained relations between Lizzie Borden
and her father and stspmothsry q tho
finding Of the hatchet with which the
murders are alleged to have been COM
mitted; (S the failure of all other clues
except that Leading to Lizzie Borden to
offer any explanation of the crimes; 90 the
lack of opportunity for any other person
to have committed the deed.
Regarding the alleged burning Of .
dress, 1t Is said that the defense will
Probably Not Offer . Denial,
but will put In an explanation felt to be
sufficient to destroy the weight Of the
governments contention. Il remains to
be seen how satisfactory the explanation
may be- This Is an important point.
The robbery of Mr. Bordsn's safe, while
undoubtedly mysterious and possibly,
when unexplained tending to throw sus-
picion upon some member Of the family, IL
is said can easily be met by tbs defense, In
so far as removing any conclusive reason
for laying it at Lizzie's door. This whole
episode will probably be treated as a hear
say exaggeration.
1t is very serious question, however,
whether the government can put In this
evidence, for il 10 held that it Is inadmissi.
BILE, unless possibly it might be introduced
as tending to
show the Relations Existing
between the defendant and her father.
Even upon this claim, however, It IL held
that the court may not admit the evidence
about the robbery.
While 1t is generally understood that the
family relations were not altogether pleas
ant five years ago, the defense will set out
to show that more recently the family 70
lations bad been altogether pleasant and
harmonious.
As TO the hatchet, there ia no probability
that the government will put In any
hatchet other than the one shown at the
preliminary hearing, and all talk of the
recent finding of other hatchets II abso-
lutely without foundation.

Kilkenney Republicans are SO numerous

with this heated term and politics, the
boss boodlers and advisors are perspiring
freely.
Some OF the liquor dealers who did not
receive their proportionate share that
was promised OF the Republican sum that
changed the town are kicking, and de-
clare openly that no one can again "ix"
them. This will bring a change to the
disgust OF Grand Dictator Dennis and Ills
Sunday school class of politicians, who
are thinking at their. daily avocation the
best means to resort to to again place
the town under the guidance of "our
party" which has only added large debt
for the taxpayers to handle and are
smothering all Of their bold deals as best
possible.
A man whose name Is known applied

work on the highway. With "cough"
(suggestive) the latter said June election
was close at hand. He would consider
the mans application and let him know
