even at the advanced price Of $1,000. to which
he hal raised from his first offer of $1,000 after

be obtained now is by condemnation proceed

of any kind. but that the quarantine will be To-

Borden, and her stepmother, Abbie Durfee
Borden, was arraigned yesterday afternoon in
the superior court, now in session at New Bed
ford Mass
News Of the coming of Miss Borden had
reached the CITY before her arrival and quite a
number of people had gathered, who looked
curiously, and in many cases not unsympathetic-
ally, at the woman who stands charged with
the murder of her father and mother
On arriving at the court house Miss Borden
was conveyed at once through the rear door to
the district attorneys room. and remained
there till 5:l5 o'clock, the court being occupied
with the trial OF Il civil case.
Miss Borden was escorted upstairs to the
court room. Sheriff Wright entering first, his
wife following. and then. framed in the door
way, appeared Miss Borden. For the space,
perhaps, of second she faltered and leaned
against the casing. but she Immediately re-
covered her self-possession, and walked with a
firm step along the aisle and took her place in
the dock Her face was flushed and her eyes
rested on no one. but were turned now to the
right. then to the left, and again to the ceiling
or floor. However great may have been her
mental sufferings during her Imprisonment,
she carries no outward sign of them. She is
plump and has good color. and her eyes are
bright, and there are apparent no more lines
than were visible at the time of her arrest
When the ripple of excitement which marked
her entrance had subsidized. the district attorney
moved that Miss Borden be arragned, and the
clerk of the court said:
Lizzie Andrew Borden. stand up and she
did so. and looked steadily at him while he read
slowly and soiemlly three indictments OF two
counts each. Two of them charged her with
the murder of Andrew J. Borden and Abbie
Durfee Borden. separately, and the third
charged her with the murder of both. At the
end of each Indictment the clerk asked:
Lizzie Andrew Borden, what say YOU to this
indictment; are you guilty or not guilty?' and
to each she replied clearly, calmly and steadily:
IL am not guilty"
The court then adjourned, and. after waiting
a moment or two for the spectators to dispense,

the room and took the train and returned to

The New York walters strike in the large up
town hotels has at last ended. One by one tine
hotels have acceded to some of the demands of
their employees. until now bat few houses are at
odds with the union men. The walters did not
get all the concessions asked for. but gained
enough of them to constitute victory.
The success of the strikers is attributed to
lack OF cooperation among tine hotel men and
the ease with which places could be secured for
the men in Chicago.
1t is said that preparations are now being
made to carry the agitation into the big restau-
rants.
1t was announced Yesterday that the walters
at Delmonico's would receive $50 month in
the future. The walters declare that this is the
greatest victory vet achieved. Mr.. Delmonico.
however. insisted that the men shall wear
clean shaven faces.
1t is said that there is much dissatisfaction
among the walters at the Waldorf Hotel, and
Secretary Leckel remarked that a strike may
occur there before long.

Arizona Land Grant Decision,

In the of the Tumacaconi Mexican grant
within the Gadsden purchase in Arizona. Sec
rotary Hoke Smith of the Interior Department
has decided that the eighth section of
the act of July %. 1854, applied to
Mexican and Spanish land grants in Arizona,
and that lands to the extent of the claims made
before the survey ors general of those territories
were placed by law in reservation until final
action of Congress confirming or rejecting the
claims. Final action, however, has now
been delegated to the court of private land
claims. consequently the reservation will con-
tinue until final action by that court. This de-
cision reverses that of the commissioner and
forbids him to open the lands claimed by the
grantees to settlement.
