that the loss of life on Grand Isle and
Cheniere and In the Grand and Adams
bays, and the Cook. Chaton and Oyster

1000.
Authentic news came during the
morning when lugger reached the

man in charge reports that the steamer
Joe Weber was blown to pieces and
that several Of the crew were drowned.
The storm was terrible at Grand Isle
and Cheniere Ccminada. At the latter
place only two houses are standing and
the lngger man reports that several
hundred people have been drowned.
Grand isle lies directly south Of New

crow flies from the city and about 80
miles by the Tortoise route that is COW
cred to reach it. There are two ways
of getting to the island-one by way OF

and the other by way of Company
canal, which 10 about opposite the old

Grand lake must be crossed. The trip
is made in from 10 to 10 hours, accord

craft. The island is in jefferson parish
and has been summer resort for
many years, but was not literally pat
roni xed because of its location and the
lack of wire communication. There
were very few people from this city on
the island The season does not usually
last longer than Sept 10, because the
island is subject to storms from that

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 9.-The peo-
pie have not yet got over the surprise that

the streets to the court house.
She has been an inmate Of Taunton Jail
ever since August last, under indictment
for the murder, on Aug. 4, in Fall River.
of her father, Andrew jackson Borden, and
her stepmother, Abbie Durfee Borden.
She was brought here to be arraigned in
the Superior Court now in session in this
city. The utmost secrecy was observed in
bringing her here.
When Miss Borden was escorted up
stairs to the court room she faltered and
leaned against the casing for a second, but
Immediately recovered her self possession
and walked with firm step along the isle
and took her place In the dock. Her face
was flushed and her eyes turned, now to
the right, then to the left and again to the
ceiling or floor.
However great may have been her men
tai suffering during her Imprisonment she
carries no outward sign Of it. She Ii
plump and has good color, and her eyes
are:bright and. there are apparently no more
lines than at the time of her arrest. She
wore a dark, plainly made dress and q
black double breasted sacque, small black
hat, black vail and black gloves.
Three indictments Of two counts each
were read to her. Two of them charged
her with the murder of Andrew ]. Bor-
den 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 OF
not guilty" and to each she replied clearly,
calmly and steadily: 81 am not guilty"
She did not seem to be stolid or stub
born, but acted as il she was fully alive
to the gravity of the situation. Andrew ].
Jenkins of Fall Rivef, who has been hel
faithful counsel all through. was present.
After the arraignment was over, Mr..
Jennings accompanied the sheriff, his wife
and Miss Borden to the station, where the
three took a train for Taunton, where

The Appliances They Have and the Causes
of Fires.
In 1891 the population of the city of
liverpool was SIT, 051 and covered $500
acres. Its buildings are all of stone
and brick Five steam fire engines
were in use and eight hand engines,
and there were 256 men on the regular
force. Five hundred and seventy-eight
fires occurred in 1890, % of the IN from
lighted candles, 81 from lights thrown
down, % from children playing with
matches, 80 from smoking tobacco, 90
from children playing with fire and 80
from sparks from fire. Firemen in
Liverpool have the title of constable"
and have certain police authority.
The great city of London had, ac-
cording to the Chicago Herald, within
it's corporate limits in 1891 4,231 ,43l per-
sons, and about 100000 in territory
Immediately contiguous; 557,154 is
given as the number of brick and stone
buildings in 1891, and the city has no
wooden bu ildings. The number of
fire alarms given in 1891 was
4,164, of which 1,029 were false
alarms, 243 CHI imney alarms and
2,S92 actual fires; 1900 of these fires
were cOnnnSu TO the uOOrS Wnere Gney
originated, and 1S4 extended beyond
such floors; only fires extended to adj
joining property, and only extended
beyond adjoining property. The Lon
don fire department consists of Al land
steam fire engines, 95 land manual fire
engines, steam fire engines on barges,
8 steam tugs, 105 hose carts, SO miles of
hose, with ladders, trucks, fire escapes
and an abundance of alarms, tele-
graphs, telephones, ETC., to render the
service of its 700 firemen very efficient.
Nineteen million gallons of water were
used during the year at fires, one-third
of which was taken from the river,
canals and docks. The causes of the
fires are curious: Fifty-nine came from
airing linen, $50 from candles, 80 from
children playing with fire and 90 from
their playing with matches; 81 were
caused by swinging. gas brackets, 90
from escaping gas, 81 from curtains or
blinds coming in contact with lights;
lO4 originated from hot ashes, 300 from
spirit lamps (2O6 of them being from
upsetting such lamps); 100 came from
sparks of fire and 80 from improperly
set stoves.

the effect that Andrew Carnegie had re-
Gently visited the works of the Maryland
Steel Company located at Sparrow's Point,
with the object of purchasing the plant,
caused much comment in manufacturing
circles.
At the general Office Of the Carnegie
Steel Company in this city an emphatic
denial IL given to so much of the story as in
timated that the purpose of Mr.. Carnegie's
visit was to acquire possession or control
Of the Sparrow Point works. Secretary
Lovsjoy, of the Carnegie company, said:
'"The policy of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany IL to concentrate all its works in and
near Pittsburg We have no idea OF ac-
quiring any plants In other sections of the
country. Pittsburg Is good enough for
this company. You can take it for GER
tainty that any such stories are without
foundation"
In reference to the reduction of 90 per
cent In the wages Of the employees at the
Duquesne works, Mr.. Lovejoy said:
''There will be no conference between the
company and the men. The proposition
has been made and there will be no meet
ing or conference in reference to 1t, nor do
we expect any trouble or inconvenience. -"
It Is generally believed that the men will
accept the proposed reduction, and there
will be no shutdown.

Bridgeport Clerk Embezzles sa 900.

BRIDGEPORT, May 9.-It was dis
covered last night by the firm of the
Starr Shirt Manufacturing company
that William @. Nichols, an Office en-
ploye, is an embezzler from the firm to
the amount of about $4,000. Young
Nichols has been suspected by the firm
for some time and an investigation has
been going on quietly. In some way
Nichols learned that he was suspected.
Shortly before 6 o'clock last night he
complained of being i'll and left the
Office. A member of the firm followed
him. The young man at once hired a
team and drove to Long Hill where his
father lives. He went there probably
in the hope of being able to raise the
So, 600 before he was arrested. The firm
decided to give him a chance, however,
and did nothing about it last night. Mr.
Morrison, another member of the firm,
resides in Norwalk and was notified last
night. He notified the Norwalk police
and they are watching out to see that
the young man does not try to escape.
The company will take no legal steps
against Nichols, but will give him every
opportunity to pay up and clear him
self.

As the Earliest Form of Art. 1t Is Entitled

at may create some surprise that we
regard the dance as the earliest form
of art, or even that we allow it any
place among the fine arts" writes
President David j. Hill. in Popular
Science Monthly.
Otto many it will seem a kind of sac
rilege to combine in the same category,
however broad, such extremes as a
dancing savage and painting of the
last Judgment; and, if the connection
must be made, some would choose to
make it along other lines than those Of
art. But, in truth, the dance supplies
us with the key, SO to speak, of the de-
velopment of the fine arts For light
upon the problems of human culture
we naturally appeal to the anthropol-
ogist. - Is. a..
"'Dancing,' says Tylor, may, seem
to us moderns frivolous amusement;
but in the infancy of civilization it was
full of passionate and solemn mean
ing. Savages and barbarians dance
their Joy and sorrow, their love and
rage, even their magic and religion.
The forest Indians of Brazil, whose
sluggish temper few other excitements
can stir, rouse themselves at their
moonlight gatherings, when, rattle in
hand, they stamp in one-two-three time
round the great earthern pot of intoxi-
eating llawi liquor; or men and women
lance rude counting dance, advanc-
ing in lines with kind of primitive
polka step; or the ferocious war dance
is performed by armed warriors in
paint, marching in ranks hither and
thither with growing chant terrific
to hear
"Tylor proceeds to describe the
dance of the Australians and the buff
falo dance of the Mandan Indians,
who, wearing masks to mark their inn
presentations, with rude songs and
pantomimic gestures act out the Incl
dents of an imaginary hunt. And then
he adds: All this explains how, in an
cient religion, dancing came to be one
Of the chief acts of worship. Reli-
sioas professions went with song and
sanc. to thr Egyptian temples, and
1sto aid that all dancing ought to
