and the foreman was asked to return
the verdict, which he announced as
"Not guilty"
THE VERDICT APPLAUDED.
Then all the dignity and decorum of
the court room vanished. A cheer went
up which might have been heard half a
mile away, and there was no attempt to
check it. Miss Borden's head went
down upon the rail in front of her and
the tears came. Mr.. Jennings was al
most crying, while DIR. Adams seemed
incapable of speech.
AS soon aH possible the room was
cleared, and when the spectators were
finally gone, Miss Borden was taken to
the room of the justices and allowed to
recover her composure, with only the
eyes of friends upon her and the caress
of devoted admirers. At the expiration
of an hour she was placed in carriage
and driven to the station, where she
took train for Fall River, her home no
longer probably, but still the only OBJ
jective point for the immediate present.

The crowd at the Borden homestead

ALL THE WIRES CUT.
Owing to fight between the Sleeps

burg and Fort Lee people, and also the
Western Union company, no one WAS
allowed to leave the grounds till after
the Suburban, and precautions were
taken to prevent information from get
telegraphed over the country during the
afternoon.
All the telegraph wires to the Sleeps
head Bay race track were cut this morn
ing. A big force of linemen was sent
out, but the wires were grounded as
fast as the breaks were repaired. The
track owners were determined that pool
rooms over the country should not re-
ceive the news from the track.
THE GREATEST SUBURBAN.
The greatest Suburban was run June
II, 1890, when it was won by the fastest
and handsomest horse that ever started
in it. the kingly salvator. Salvador
was the public favorite, and his rival
Tenny was well-favored also, but could
only finish third, and out of the race
sprung a great match between him
and Salvador in which every frac-
ton OF the record of the distance
was shattered, Salvador doing the mile
and quarter in 2 205.
Salvatore pathway through life has
truly been as strewn with flowers oH
the echool-girl's hope in the autograph
albums. Hs had q royal time as race
horse, and in youth, soundness and vigoi
was retired to the stud by Eaggin. He
ia now in California at the Rancho de-
Paso, and rot so very long ago his young
sons and daughters were sold st the
highest prices brought ia this country
by those OF a retired stallion.

Winners OF ehe Race In Former Years,
The suburban race was originally a
sweepstske race for horses of all ages
with S2500 added money given by the
Coney Island Jockey club, in addition to
the moneys contributed by the owners
of the horses. In 1891 its value to the
winner had more than doubled the
original value OF 1884, 80 the club re-
solved henceforth to appropriate ali the
entrance money to itself and guarantee
the value of the race at $25 600, of
which $4,000 should 20 to the winner,
5000 to the second and $4,000 to the
third. In this way the race has gained
greater number of nominations, but
there has been no increase in the num-
Der of starters, as they had hoped. But
had the idea become current. yesterday
morning, that the great Lamplighter
could get no better than third place in
the race, there would have been at least
16 starters instead of nine. The bstting
has been given elsewhere 40 that no
reference to it is necessary, save to say
that the fourth choice won the great
event aud the second place went to a
rank outsider.
The Suburban was inaugurated in
1884, and won by the famous horse Gen
eral Monroe, who afterward defeated
Lucky B., the greateet of all the Los An
geles horses, for the Chicago Washing
ton Park cup. In 1885 it WAS won by
Lorillard's imported colt Pontiac, by
Peno Gomez; and in 1886 Troubadour
signslized it by going out to the front
and winning all the way. He was in
front from wire to wire, and every horse
in the race took crack at him and fell
back beaten. In 1887 came the rascally
race won by Eurus, when the two favorites
were left at tho post Ben Ali and Quito.
The Suburban of 1858 saw the terrible
struggle through the stretch, in which
the lightly-weighted ''skate'' Elkwood
beat the topweight Terra Gotta nose
and in 1889 sold bones," the game and
unfiinching Raceland, was the victor.
That of 1890 was the topweight's tri-
umph. Salvador carrying l27 pounds and
winning by length from the light
weight Cassius. In 1891 the outsider
Loautaka started at to / and made a
procession of il, while the great Ienny.
who had carried 1870 pounds in the
Brooklyn and rompsd home, was entirely
'lost in the shuffie.' Last year the
delicate but speedy Montana was kept
on his legs and at his feed just long
enough to win it, after fine finish with
Major Domo. >
Tns Suburban has never been twice
won bv the get of the same sire, except
in 1887 and 1888, the winners OF those
years being by Eolus, Virginia horse
owned by r. j. Hancock. The following
table explains itself:

MEMO PARK, CAL, June 21.-Senatof
Stanford died tonight at IL O'Clock. He
passed away peacefully in his sleep ct
his residence at Palo Alto.
Hrs LAST DAY ON EARTH.
Senator Stanford was in the best OF
spirits yesterday Tuesday,. He took o
drive around his stock farm and seemed
as well as ever. He retired shortly after
10 O'Clock and about midnight his valet
going into the governors bedroom, dis
covered that he was dead.
THE SLEEP THAT KNOWS NO WAKING.
The senator looks perfectly natural as
he lies in bed, seeming from all appear
ances to be in deep sleep. Stanford
went out yesterday for drive to San
Carlos and around his farm, and re-
turned late in the afternoon, apparently
in the best of health. His body will be
embalmed.
AILING FOR SOME TIME.
1t had been evident Tor some time
that Senator Stanford's demise was a
question of but short time. His symp-
toms were apoplectic, and his weight
was increasing alarmingly. There was
a stiffness about his limbs that made To-
comotion an exceedingly difficult tack.
His body was fast becoming too heavy
for his limbs to support. He could take
the very slightest exercise. Six months
ago the senator sent for DIR. Curtis of
San Francisco.
HEROIC TREATMENT.
The doctor prescribed heroic treat
ment, but the senator was not ready to
undergo the drastic methods for the re-
duction of his flesh and the restoration
of his waning strength. His apoplectic
symptoms increased and his eituation
became such as to create serious alarm.
lAAhhossiss Elk weeks age il was found neees-
sary to impose severely plain diet upon
senator and since that time his sole
food has consisted of fried hashed meat,
with hot water as the only liquid ac-
compartment. The senator rigidly ad-
hered to the severe requirements of his
physician, and it seemed for time that
it's results were most beneficial and
might possibly effect permanent cure.
HIS PLAN CUT SHORT.
The senator expressed himself as
much encouraged and looked forward
hopefully to time when he could de-
vote himself with renewed energy to
public affairs, and to the completion of
certain educational and other benevo-
lent enterprises that were very near to
his heart. But his strength was
not sufficiently great to respond
to the demands upon it. Its fundamen-
tai weakness suddenly manifested itself,
and he passed quietly away tonight. No
details of the scenes Immediately pre-
ceding death are now obtainable.

Little year old Agnes Bakilka has
just died a horrible death at Omaha, Neb.,
from obeying her father. The child was
trying to kindle fire in the stove for her
mother early in the morning, but as she
was inexpert she did not succeed very
well, and the fire seemed about to go
out, when her father ordered her to take
the can of kerosene oil and pour some
on the fire. She obeyed, and in an instant
there was a tremendous explosion and the
child was enveloped in flames. The fire
could not be extinguished until the poor
little victim was literally cooked alive.
She fingered some hours in terrible ag-
ony and then died. The coroner's jury
will probably say that she died by the
visitation of God.

TOLD OF HIS LOVE.
Tragic Death of Count Palffy, an Aus.
trian Nobleman.
Prom The PhiladeIphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
New York, Oct. "a scion of a princely
house Of Austria-Hungary, a man who
could trace his ancestry back to the year
1920, took his own life last night at New
ark, N. J. He was Count Rudolph Palffy.
He was the cousin of the head of one of
the branches of the house which numbers
among its members the Princess Palffy
d. Erdoed, and the Princess of Thiano--
the very name Palffy proves the long
lineage from which the suicide descended
The name is derived from Paul Eilius
the son of Paul.
This Count Rudolph Palffy, whose kins-
men possess large estates and hold
high-sounding titles, lived with his wife
in twostory frame house in the middle
of an apple orchard at Mohawk, eight
miles south Of Tuxedo. 1t is on the line
of the Erie Railroad at the foot of the
Ramapo mountains There Theodore A.
Havemeyer, the millionaire sugar refner,
ownes great tract of land. The house
in which Count Palffy killed himself is
on MIR. Havemeyer's estate.
Eighteen months ago Count Palhy and
his wife went to live in that house which
is isolated even from the little village of
Mohawk. The nearest house to it is a
mile away.
DID NOT HAVE MUCH MONEY,
The count was about % years old. He
was OF medium height, with black hair,
mustache and goatee. He seemed recon
ciled to his position and, in the language
of Mohawk, "did not put on any airs -
He dressed plainly and was not only po-
lite to the villagers, but joyial, sometimes
drinking beer with them. Indeed, the
count was fond of beer, but no man ever
saw him under its influence. He walked
to and fro between his house and Mohawk,
for he had no horse.
1t was plain that his income was scanty
The village gussips declared that he re-
ceived a draft for Sl00eve three months,
in big envelope bearing foreign postage
stamps. They say, too, that Mr.. Have
meyer paid Count Paltfy S25 month for
taking care of HIS park. Whatever his
income the count increased it by shipping
to New York the,apples from the orchard
