This interesting widow is between 45 and
80 years old; but for year she has been
regularly engaging herself as young girl,
under the name of Jessie T. Rivers and
Emma J. Waters, to any number of men
in the west, who have answered her ad-
vertisemcnt for husband. After they
answered her she would keep up a cores
pondence with them. until, in one way and
another, as she confesses, she has aeeced
at least forty OF them out OF from S. to
SO each. When they ran dry they heard
no more from Miss Rivers, or Miss Waters.
She offered to change photographs with
the intended husbands, and sent as her
likeness picture of some young girl half

with loving letters in which the needs of
an intended bride were set forth In choice

service board and is the invention of Lieu

A VERY WEAK CASE.
Opinions on the Evidence Against
Lizzie Borden.
THE PRISONERS FRIENDS JUB1LANT

Evon the Prosecuting omoers Show Dis
appointment Over the Contradictory
Police Testimony. and tho Defendants
Lawyers are correspondingiy Joyful.
FALL RIVER, Mass, June 12.-Talk Is
plentiful on the subject OF the Borden
murders, and there can be no denial that
IL is general opinion gboat town that the
prosecution thus far has very weak case
This opinion Is being strengthened by rl-
mors current here to the effect that Lizzie
Borden's counsel will shortly explode a
bombshell into the camp Of the authori-
ties. 1t is limited that the defense will
show conclusively that Lizzie Borden pur-
chased some paint few days before the
murder, and that it was not an uncommon
thing to burn dresses in the Borden house,
hold.
The fact that the girl burned the dress
In the daylight. when officers surrounded
the house, will also be related to show
there wasnot the slightest attempt at con-
cealment The defendants lawyers do not
attempt to disguise their joyful feelings
because Of the present status of the case.
and the girls friends here are jubilant.
The hatchet incident, with its accompany
ing denials, is the source of much comfort.
But while the prisoners friends are buoy
ant, the spirits of the police authorities
are by no means downcast
Officer Mullally's strange, unexpected
statement about finding the handle is,
they say, in keeping with the general tone
of the testimony given by him before in the
courts. He has been known several times
to take position in less important cases
In defiance of the fact that five or six other
officers and witnesses testified positively
that he was wrong. One of the police
authorities thinks SO little of tue ~circum-
stances that he says he will not advise the
district attorney to contradict Mullally's
alleged erroneous statement
The matter Of wrapping up the hatchet,
testified in two ways by Medley and Des-
mond can be easily explained. They say
both men did wrap up the hatchet, Des-
mond wrapping it up first and passing It
to Medley, who afterward opened it in
the cellar to show another officer. 1t is a
frequently expressed opinion here that the
defense has built a mine under Medley's
testimony,and will set 1t off before the case
is finally submitted

ROYAL LACES STOLEN,
Thirty of Queen Margherita's
Priceless Treasures Missing:
SENT TO EXHIBIT AT THE FAIR,

Although Justice Fuller's Decision Allow
Ing Temporary Sunday Opening Was
Not Extensively Advertised, There Was
Large Attendance Yesterday.
CHICAGO, June IA startling disclosure
was made ut the Worlds fair grounds
Saturday evening when the priceless laces
sent here by Queen Margherita of Italy
were unpacked. While the laces were be-
ing taken out of their cases and each piece
counted it was found that thirty pieces
were missing kilograms were at once
sent TO Rome apprising the queen Of her
great loss, for it seems, as developments
thus far indicate, that the loss will not fall
upon the Exposition company, their bond
not covering the safety of laces in transit.
An effort was made to keep the discovery
secret, but customs officers divulged the
startling news.
These rich possessions, out of reverence
Tor the memory Of her countryman, the
discoyerer OF America Queen Margherita
consented to send to Chicago for exhibi-
tion Mt the fair. She sent noble,
trusted lady, the Countess Di Brazza,
TO watch and guard her treasures, and
the government of tho United States
gove a bond of 100000 to guarantee their
safe return to Italy.

Upon the pursuers.
CAIRO. June 12.-F'ifty convicts, while
returning from the quarries to Tourah
prison near this city, overpowered the
mounted guards and tried to escape.
They constituted the last squad of a gang
OF GOO, and the guards ahead did not know
OF the mutiny until the men had captured
the rifles of the rear guards. As the fifty
convicts fed eleven of the advance guards
started in pursuit. The twenty-five guards
left with the other 500 convicts kept them
quiet by firing repeatedly over their heads
Half mile from the<spot where the mu-
tiny broke out the eleven guards overlook
the fugitives and-eraered them to surren-
der. The conyicts who had arms answered
with volley which wounded two men and
killed three horses. The return volleys of
the guards killed thirty-nine convicts. The
other eleven convicts escaped. The con.
victs are believed to have been encour-
aged to revolt by the recent action of the
native courts in furnishing guards who
shot at runaway prisoners who had been
committed to their charge
