THE BORDEN CASE.
Delay In Setting a Date For the Trial 10
Still Unaccounted For.

BosToN, April 29-Much impatience 10
being manifested by the public at the do
lay in trying Lizzie Borden. who has been
kept in Jail for months awaiting the tardy
action of the law department of the com
monwealth. After long delay for causes
which did not seem unreasonable, came
the announcement that her trial must be
indefinitely postponed, owing to the seri-
Gus illness Of the attorney general.
II did not seem to occur to anyone at
that time that the law, to meet Just such
contingencies and to save the accused from
the gross unjustness that might result
from being imprisoned for . crime Of
which he was innocent, had vested in the
district attorney the authority to try capt.
tai cases in the absence Of the attorney
general, and so there was no suggestion
that Miss Borden could be speedily con-
fronted by her accusers with an opportu-
nifty to prove her innocence
Since she was imprisoned eight months
ago, two persons In this state, charged
with murder, have been tried by the dis
trict attorneys of the counties In which the
crimes were alleged to have been COM
mitted, one Of whom was acquitted and
the other suffered the extreme penalty of
the law, aud there has been no intimation
that the government on these occasions
was not ably represented or that II lost
any of its rights by not having the services
Of the attorney general to conduct the
prosecution
II would seem that now that he has
fully recovered his health, there could be
no excuse for further delay. but an In
quiry at his Office yesterday failed to elicit
the slightest Information az to when Miss
Borden is TO be tried or whether she is to

sary to put down the uprising.
Dixon had agreed to knock out Billy

knock out his man, but was getting
done up" In the fourth round Young
dealt Dixon a vicious blow on the jaw,
which sent him reeling against the ropes.
O'Rourke leaped into the ring and seized
Young. The house held 1000 friends Of
the latter. A wild shout went up, and
several men leaped out Of the boxes upon
the stage and attacked Dixon and his man

AMUSEM ENTS.
Lothrop's Grand Opera House.


"The Ticket of Leave Man." Tom Tay-
lor's great English melodrama made ia
nous In this country by Mr.. and
and Mrs. William j. Florenoe, will con-
stitute the attraction at Lotnrop's Grand
Opera House next week. The leading
character, that of Bob Briefly, a Lsnoa-
shire lad, is strongly drawn and the VI
cissitudes of his life and his experiences at
the hands of gang of rogues form q story
of intense interest. Mr.. Charles Barrin-
per has been selected for the assumption
of this role. The Providence Journal says
of his performance: "Mr. Barrinser gave
the character of Bob Brierly, the uufortu-
nate victim of circumstances, the necessa-
ry flavor of resolution to do no more
wrong and to live uprghtly even in the
face Of great odds. Bob is an interesting
central figure in the play and Mr.. Barrin-
ger was seen to especial advantage In the
part" Miss Glassford will be the May
Edwards, whose faithful frien dship for
Bob and her efforts to reclaim him always
make her favorite with the audience.
w. II. Cough will be the Jim Dalton, q
London crook, whose disguises and aliases
are many. Miss May Prindle will be the
Emily st. Evermonos, born Trsddes, a vi
vacious lady of the ballet, and will dis
play several fetching gowns. J. Francis
Kirke will prove thorn in the sides OF
all the evil characters In the play as the
eagled eyed detective eHawkshaw. Charles
Burnham will appear In his great imper-
sonation of the old Jewish fence, Melter
Moss. Miss Addie Snow will give due
prominence to the role of the roguish boy,
Sam Willoughby, aud Helen V.ILinde will
talk you deaf at the rate Of 10. The play
will be splendidly mounted.
K.ith's Opera House.
Miss Ullie Akerstrom will open a six
nights engagement at Keith's Opera
House, beginning on Monday evening
next May 1, when she will appear in " iss
Rora." The play is an illustration OF the
effection of child for two miners, who
find her a waif upon the plains. She has
been brough up In % mining camp, and
learned many things that are not usually
included In the necessary accomplish
ments of young girl. But she has Q good,
true heart and many traits that others,
who have had better opportunities, do
not possess. The character of "Miss
Rors" Is taken from life, and Miss Aker-
strom has most pleasing conception Of
the part. "Miss Rors" is without doubt
the best play Miss Akerstrom has pro-
duced, and her company is pronounced
the best tnst has supported her. Miss
Akerstrom herself she is q bright, viva
cious little actress.

sidering It's crowded condition. A depar-

out and held In front of the house on the
Main street side by the men attached to
this house. Callman John j. O'Reilly
and Thomas K. Mooney of the permanent
force went up stairs and gave an exhibi-
tion of how the net was used by jumping
into it from the upper story.
The jumps were witnessed by large
crowd and all were of the opinion that it
