GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD.

The vandals Pursuing Their Work Regard
less of the Numerous Objections Raised.
The vandals are plodding away with their
work of destruction, with determination to
do all the damage possible before their course
is run. Last week gang working on the
north slope of Little Round Top, near Gibbs's
Ohio Battery Monument, dug up some human
bones evidently those of soldiers of MacCand-
less's Brigade of Pennsylvania Reserves. With
out any hesitation, and with utter disregard
for the sacredness OF the remains of those who
had died in their native State the bones were
flung into the carts with the dirt and dumped
with the refuse. One man. citizen OF the
town, gathered as many of the bones as posi-
ble and gave them decent burial
In front of the Bloody Angle" the work
men are digging and desecrating with as much
confidence as though their way was not entirely
blocked by the I'D burial plot. The trolley
managers are working on each side of it, but
especially between it and the Reading Rail-
road. They are now asserting that they own
enough land west of the 72d to run their track
around it, and even have staked off the neces-
sary distance.
What their object is in making a claim that
is proven false by the records as made by their
own engineer and on file in the courthouse, is
difficult to understand unless they think that
they can intimidate the Land and Improvement
Company into selling them the necessary right
of way. They have, it is understood, offered
$1,000 for enough land to go around the 72d's
plot, but they could not buy it for $4,000, and
the gentleman in charge will put an injunction
on them the moment they begin to work on
the land.

and lay down on the lounge. In answer to his
inquiry, Lizzie said Mrs Borden had been called
away by note to see sick friend. This note
has never been found, nor has the alleged sick
person ever appeared.
The last time Bridget Sullivan saw Lizzie
was Just as she started to go upstairs to lie
down. At that moment Lizzie was carrying an
ironing board into the kitchen. Just before
Bridget fell asleep she heard the town clock
strike IL. 1t was about Is minutes later that
she heard Lizzie calling to her that her father
was killed. His body was found lying on the
sofa in the sitting room. his skull cut open, and
blood staining the surrounding objects. Lizzie
dispatched Bridget for DIR. Bowen, who lived
near by. Then she sat down on the front door
steps.
In few minutes Mrs. Addie Churchill, o
neighbor came along and asked what the matter
was. She told Mr.. and Mrs. Churchill of the
murder of her father. Mrs. Churchill came to
the house at once and asked for Mrs. Borden.
Lizzie knew nothing of her whereabouts, but
called to mind the fact that her stepmother had
told her previously that she had received a
note from friend, and in response was intend
ing to call on that friend. However, Bridget
was requested to look for her mistress, but she
objected to going alone, and Mrs. Churchill
went with her.
AS the two women approached the top of the
stairs leading to the second floor they saw on
the floor of the guest chamber the body of Mrs
Borden. It was learned that she, too, had been
murdered in about the same manner her hus-
band had been, viz, with several blows from
some heavy, sharp instrument, probably an ak
or a Ratchet.
According to Lizzie's own statement she was
with her father when he lay down on the sofa,
and took off his boots and got his slippers.
Then, she says, she went into the yard stopped
a few moments to gather and eat some pears;
went into the barn and spent 20 minutes or so
searching for lead to make fishing-line sinkers.
When she returned to the house she found her
fathers dead body lying on the sofa.
On Aug. II Lizzie Borden was arrested. and
later was committed to the Taunton jail. Be-
fore the trial she was taken to the Jail at New
Bedford.

Four Polar Expeditions.

During the coming year four explorers will
start for the north pole to find fame and glory.
Lieut.. Peary will start soon for Greenland and
endeavor to reach the pole by that route. His
new expedition contemplates the further ex-
ploration Of the north and east coasts of Green
land, partly on the frozen surface of the sea
and partly over the Greenland ice-cap as the
main line of travel.
The three other arctic expeditions will, like
the unfortunate Jeanette, enter the ice pack
from North Siberian waters. Nansen, the we'll
known explorer. proposes simply to enter the
ice-pack from point not far from where the
Jeanette was crushed in 1881, and allow his
ship to be drifted by the pack in its own course
for period of some two or three years. That
there is steady but slow drift northward from
the Siberian waters to the coast of Greenland
has been established by the fact that pieces of
clothing and part of the ships papers of the
Jeanette were picked up on the ice Of
Julianehaub, southwest of Greenland. Nansen
proposes to enter this drift in the expectation
that it may carry him across the pole and ulti-
mately land him on the Greenland coast.
The third expedition, that of Enroll, will
leave Cape MOhn, on the east coast of Spitz-
bergen, during the present month in boat
which can be taken to pieces and converted
into number of seds. The point of departure
when the ice is reached is Peterman's Land, an
island north of Francis Joseph Land. From
the latter Enroll contemplates direct advance
to the pole, with return, If possible, by way of
Fort Conger in Lady Franklin's Bay.
The fourth expedition is that organized By
Mr.. Frederick J. Jackson, a fellow of the Royal
Geographical Society of London. Capt. Albert
Fl. Markham, the famous arctic explorer, has
expressed the opinion that the nearest approach
to the pole can be made from Francis Joseph
Land. He expects to push further north and
establish depot of supplies in or about the
S4th or 65th latitude From there, still con-
tinuing his journey overland, if there be land
beyond this limit he proposes to establish
third depot within 200 miles of the pole. There
he would take up his Winter quarters, and the
next Summer make his final effort to reach the

Bridget Sullivan. The mother of the two
young women. who are the only children of
Andrew ]. Borden, died some 20 years ago.
Abbie Borden was their stepmother. Andrew
Borden was man worth some $500, 600 or over,
generally reputed close and penurious and
exacting in his business dealings He was
President of the Union Savings Bank, owner
of considerable real estate and manufacturing
stocks.
On the 4th day of August, 1892, some time
between the hours of 9 aud ILLS a. M, An
drew Borden and his wife were murdered in
their home. Their heads were horribly hacked
with a Ratchet or some similar weapon. Only
two persons besides the murdered man aud
woman we're known to have been in the house
during the time within which the murder must
have occurred These were Lizzie Borden and
Bridget Sullivan. John V. Morse the maternal
uncle of Emma and Lizzie, was a visitor at the
house, but left the house early in the morning
and did not return until after the discovery of
the crime. Emma was absent on visit to
New Bedford.
Andrew Borden went ont about g. Ac-
cording to the testimony of the medical experts
at the trial which is being held, Mrs. Borden
must have been killed from an hour to an hour
and a half before Mr. Borden, which would
place the time of her murder at $50 o'clock or
Whereabouts, as Mr.. Borden came back at 10:45
During ali this time Bridget Sullivan was, she
claimed at the trial, washing windows. She
passed to and fro down stairs and occasionally
went out into the yard, and for little while
during this time she stopped her work and
engaged in conversation with a servant girl
across the fence. She said she did not see any
one come into or leave the house, although
some one might have been able to do so with
out her seeing him. She did not see Lizzie
Borden during this time. either.
When Mr. Borden came back at 10:45, Bridget
let him into the house, and she stated that at

II was in the Fall Of 1890 that young man
named Hugh Boyle. who was visiting an uncle
in the vicinity of the Tongue River reserva-
ton, was murdered, and the crime was fixed
beyond doubt upon two young Cheyenne
braves. The murderers fed to the mountains
and eluded search. An attempt was made to
settle the affair by gift of 80 ponies through

the relatives of the young men. Upon this
being refused, they sent word that they would
appear at the Agency fully armed, and would
show Agent Cooper how Cheyennes could fight
and die.
A leval tract of ground in front of the
Agency was selected for this remarkable duel,
and here the Indian police took stand. Pres

dressed and in full war paint. with their horses
handsomely decorated. The Indian police

years standing, but it has proved an undoubted

One of the secrets Of the power and influence
of these Indian police is the fact that it is well
known that they will do anything they are or
dered by the authorities to do, regardless of the
consequences. They have no mercy. There is
no winking at overt acts, treacherous as the
Indian nature is known to he. There is no
Sinking of duty. The wrongdoer is as sure of
Quick retribution as he is of death, and in the
event of his getting away, he knows his pur-
suers will not leave the trail until he is caught.

BONNETS AND HATS.
The Newest Things in Headgear
Brought From Paris.

The first importations OF French mil
linery show the tiny capote bonnets and
the large hats which have been worn
during the winter in a variety of new
shapes in straw and lace. The toque and
boat shapes have almost entirely dis
appeared, and the small bonnet is now a
compact affair, fitting closely the head.
In the new shapes it is often quite long
and pointed, covering the ears and
peaked high above the forehead or far
ing from it in order to givsroom for face
trimming. The 1880 poke, which has al
ready been anticipated in felt, appearsi in
chip and fancy straw. 1t is a3Sodifica-
ton of the coal scuttle bonnet worn at
the beginning Of the century, though the
crown is very much lower and smaller.
The square crown is chiefly seen in the
new shapes, but it remains low, and
there are many fat plateaus of straw OF
large size which are to be shaped by the
deft fingers of the milliner into the fash
ionable poke bonnet, the crown being in
Dictated merely by the arrangement of
the trimming. For misses there are fiat
crowned shapes with brims broad and
projecting in front and narrow in the
back. These bonnets may be tied down
with strings at the sides to form pokes,
or they may be worn as they are, faring
from the face. All bonnets now are
worn far enough back to leave the front
hair exposed and require a facing of
velvet and usually a face trimming.
