MRS. CARPENTER WROTE II.
And II Seems That Her Husband Worked 10
and Mad Trouble With Borden.

FALL RIVER, Mass, july ll.-Josepf
W. Carpenter, Jr who Is now attracting
attention in connection with thr Borden
murders because Of suspicious letter pur-
porting to have been addressed TO him in
Some. n. y, formerly worked for Borden
Almy, furniture dealers, of which firm
Andrew j. Borden, the murdered men, was
the senior member.
twas alleged against Carpenter at one
time that he falsified the firms books.
Some Sycamore Mill stock was transferred
to satisfy the claim, but ister the mill be-
came involved and the stock proved value
less. Suit followed hut when both parties
we're ready for trial Carpenter threatened
something which several of the parties did
not care to face, and the proceedings were
luashed. Andrew Borden was most severe
Nth Carpenter, but it is said that Carpen-
ter never had serious trouble with him.
Carpenter left the city shortly afterwa ards
and became a drummer for inks, pens and
stationery. He hs. travelled most Of the
time in New York state and generally makes
his headquarters in Albany. He married a
daughter Of Capt. Barney, of this city, and
was here last in May, 1892.
When the Borden murder WAS heralded
about the country last August every man
who might have had reason for enmity to-
yards Mr. Borflen was hunted down.
Among the suspects was Carpenter. Dis
trct- Attorney Knowlton felt satisfied from
bis talk with Mrs. Carpenter and her little
girl here that her husband had not been in
this vicinity since the trsgedy, nor for some
time before il.
Nevertheless. at the suggestion of Mar
hall Hllari. urged on by Mr.. Jennings,
pfcer now Captain Harrington was sent
out to run down Carpenter and to obtain
positive information of his whereabouts dur
ing the latter days of July and the early
lays of August, 1892. Carpenter proved
AN alibi by hotel clerks and registers.
Besapse of Carpenters family connec-
,ions he was very much chagrined at being
follow ct, by detective, and also a, the res
erection of the old story of the fslsifica-
ton of the books, and he has not dared to
come this way, although his relations with
his wife's family are of the best possible
character, so far as the police know.
Ii was po,itivcly sisted by one Peter
Driseoll that he had shaved Carpenter in
the barber shop of the Wilbur house day
or two before the murders were committed,
but this story, the police say, was wholly
unfounded.
Mrs Josephine W. Carpenter was found
a, the home Of her father-in-law, where she
was visiting with her daughter. In answer
to questions she said she wrote letter to
her husband some weeks ago in which she
begged him to come home as soon as he
conll. She said in substance that nobody
could cause bin ny more annoyance bere

Il. WEDNESDAY MORNING. JULY l2. 1898.

In these days most people forget
that Chicago. like New York. was
make by canal. and in each case it
was a canal to the lakes The year the
Erie canal was opened hy Dewitt Clin-
ton. 1875, canal was surveyed and de-
vised to run from Chicago across to the
Illinois river and down that river to
the Mississippi The principal agent
To secure this canal and land to endow
1t was Daniel P. Cook, whose name
ends obscurely immortal in the metro
politan county of Illinois, for Chicago
is in Cook county. They supposed the
canal would cost six hundred and
forty thousand dollars. bu. il cost
twelve million dollars. and ii was
endowed with 2s5,oo0 acres of land
When it was commenced there were
only three families in Chicago living
outside OF the blockhoEse of the fort,
in 1880. The commencement Of this
canal caused Chicago 10 be laid out,
and at a sale of lots in that place, in
is45, it was thought TO be stupendous
that the whole parcel realized 81 SOS.
Ground was not broken for this canal
until 1888, when pork was from $50 to
SEQ barrel on the spot, Hour from 50
to sl2. salt sla to Sl5. and labor SEQ to
$50 month and board. The next year,
1897, the great panic broke the state,
but the canal kept enough people at
Chicago To keep it from relapsing TO
stagnation and marsh. Interest ceased
on the state debt. which WAS Sl4,ooo.-
600, in ls42, when all the banks broke,
and a reputation like that OF Missis-
sippi was feebly agitated. The next
year. 1888. there were but ESQ people
in Chicago. largely canal lahorers.
The entire property of Chicago was as
sessed. in 1885, at sei. 900 Reducing
the canal to a shallow cut. it was final
" opened in ls4s. and by 1850 the canal
tolls had been $4,000, 600, and the canal
lands had brought near $500, 900, but
there was canal debt Of 1000, 900
The year the canal was opened, ls4s,
the population of Chicago was less
than 2l,00o BY 1871 the honest com
missioners turned the canal over TO
the state with surplus of S9a, 900, and
when the great dFe opened that year,
Illinois nobly let up its lien of So, 0oo,-
0Qo on the canal. which they had
started TO deepen. at much more than
that cost.
