THINKS IT A BORDEN CLUE.
The Peculiar Letter That . Rome, N. T..
Dentist Found on The Street


ROME. N. Y. July 7.-Dentist George H.
Lloyd picked UP letter on the street here on
Wednesday which. he is inclined to think.
may throw some light on the Borden murder
mystery. He found tho letter near his Office
on North Washington street. 1t was addressed
to man named Carpenter.
The letter bore postmarks which showed
that 1t had been mailed in Fall River on June
q. 1t was directed to Albany. On the lower
left corner OF tho envelope was the following:
If not delivered. please forward" This was
In the same handwriting as the address. Over
the address and near the top Of the envelope
Rome. N. Y" had been written in Q hand
writing entirely different.
The envelope had been opened at the top by
aknife or paper cutter. The letter which the
envelope contained was written with lead
pencil and apparently by an uneducated per-
husband" and signed Your loving wife.
Anna"
The letter referred entirely to the Borden
murder In Fall River, and from reading it DR..
Lloyd Inferred that the man Carpenter had Mt
thing about the crime. DR.. Lloyd says tho
letter read In substance:

A BIG LUMP OF GOLD.

John Reeds Big Find in the Goler
District.
John s. Reed, an experienced Califor-
mia miner, recently picked up lump OF
gold worth 1888. from the desert.
Mr.. Reed is just in from the Goler
district, 40 miles northeast OF Mojave on
the old Cerro Gordo road.
The country is all dry and dry washers
have to be used except for short time
in the winter. and Mr.. Reed says that
there are only. about 20 or 30 men at
work there.
The nugget in question weighs 56 =
ounces and as stated 10 worth $983.50.
1t is a round, solid chunk OF the purest
gold, not speck OF any other substance
being in it.
Mr.. Reed was accompanied by friend
q miner from the Last Chance camp,
which is about IL miles further east.
He states that in both camps men can
make from $25 to $3.50 day with dry
washers, not counting such little finds
as the $1,000 nugget above mentioned.
This nugget was found in the same
region as the 141s ounce one which was
described some weeks ago in this paper.

He Loaned the City of 5eattIe's Money
lndiscriminateiy.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 15.-The
finance committee working on default
ing City Treasurer Krug's books and
papers unearthed notes and papers
showing that Krug had loaned at least
$4,000 of the city's money to various
persons and concerns. The mayor of
the city. Ronold, and Comptroller Car
son each appear on the list as borrowers
of $500. John Considene, q local poll
tician, got $1,000. Many loans are prac-
tically unsecured. Nothing has been
heard from Krug since registering at a
hotel in New Westminster on Tuesday
night. 1t is thought he may have COM
mitted suicide, as he was very despond-
ened to take his own life to a number of
friends who were partially aware of his
financial condition.
The sensation OF the day came to-.
night when Henry Thurman. a rich
broker who has been speculating ia city
warrants, with city funds loaned him
by the treasurer, WAS arrested On COM
plant of the corporation counsel, charg-
ing him with receiving stolen money
and aiding and abetting Krug in his de-
fslcation. Other arrests will follow, it
is said. The superior judge will bs
asked to call special session Of the
grand jury and give the matter q
thorough investigation. The city coun-
Gil tonight is holding a session for the
purpose of deposing Krug and electing
his successor.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-The stallion trot-
ting record broken to- :O61s the worlds
pacing record of 2 :04 equalled, and four
heats desperately fought from wire to
wire, in the greatest race trotted this
year, was the sport witnessed by $4,000
people at Washington park today. The
day was not one for speed, the wind
blowing fercely in the horses faces all
the way down the home stretch.
Before Directum was brought out, it
was announced that owing to the high
wind, he would bs sent against his own
record OF 2:07. instead of against Nancy
Hanks record OF 2 :04, it being conc sded
that to equal the latter time on such a
day would be impossible. Dfrectum
made the first quarter in 0:33, rea ched
the half in l :03 and three-qusrte rs in
1:34L. Turning into the home stretch
he met the full force of the strong wand.
but came to the wire in 2:06ts.
1t was almost dark before Flying Jib
was brought out. 1t had beeu the in
tention to send him against the pacing
record OF Mascot, but on account of the
wind it was decided to send him against
his own record of 2:O51s. He made the
quarter in 32114, the bali in :o21a. three
quarters in :32 and the mile in 2,:04.
Monroe Salisbury of California, who
owns both Directum and Flying Jib,
was apparently the happiest man on
earth.
Four heats were trotted in the free
for all, and it is still unfinished. Hull
da, who was injured yesterday, was
drawn, and it is stated that she will
probably never race again. In the
sixth heat Pixley set frantic pace from
the start and made the mile in 2:0934
which, considering the high wind, was
wonderful performance. On today's
heats the horses stand: Pixiey. Night

SAN FRANcISco, Sept. 15.-lt was re-
ported today that the Southern acme
will make a reduction OF $l5 on first
class fares out OF Los Angeles eastbound
via Ell Paso next Monday. The Santa
Fe is expected to follow suit. This will
make the first-class fare from Los An
geles to Chicago $36.75.
General Passenger Agent Goodman oil
the Southern Pacific declared yesterday
that on Monday cut of $4 would be
made between Southern California ter
minals and Ell Psso. Goodman OF the
Southern Pacific and Thompson OF the
Southern California have had some
rather brisk correspondence, and the re-
suit is a rupture of relations between the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe sys-
TENS, the Southern California forming
part of the latter eystem. The differ
ences have reached such a point that
the Southern Pacific has announced
that it will refuse to honor tickets issued
over the Santa Fe and returnable over
the Southern Pacific after September
18th, and has ordered all sales off.
In connection with this trouble be-
tween the systems. significant order
was issued by w. A. Bissell, general
agent of the Atlantic & Pacific, yester-
day. Instructions we're given to ell
agents of the Atlantic & Pacific and the
Santa Fe in this city and Oakland to

citation. This means that the Santa Fe
purposes to rid itself of all hindrsnces,
and to make determined fight to put
its agencies in perfectly independent
position. The withdrawal will prove to
be death blow to the local passenger
association, and will result in allowing
each road to pursue its own policy, with
out accountability to any committee.
The reduction of rates from southern
California terminals promises to involve
the Central Pacific, from which route,
passengers by way OF Ogden will demand
that they be given the same advantages
as the connections of the Southern Pa
cific and the Santa Fe have on southern
California travel.
