THE LEGAL BATTLE
In the Borden Case TO be Fought To-day
-AcquittaI Probable.

In the Borden Nud0 TO DC EoushN Ao-uAJ
-AoquittAl Probable.
New BEDFORD, MASS, June lS.-The
night before the legal battle is as usual
in most conflicts, a particularly quiet
and uneventiul time. The work Of
, preparation, among the counsel IN the
Borden case, has been going on all day,
despite the fact that il was Sunday.
The work was considered one Of the
esentialS OF good work 70 come.
Consultations and deliberations and
active efforts 10 the line Of blocking out
the arguments on an effective basis
have been keeping all parties directly
interested exceedingly busy, while the
newspaper men have been interested
lookers-Oa from afar, simply because a
nearer approach aud an insight into the
, actual work OF the day and evening was
an absolute impOssibilty.
The concensus Of opinion here is that
'Vss Borden will be acquitted In short
N or that the jury will disagree. In
Irmer event 10 is understood that
the. will be no jubilation, but she will
retire quietly from the scene Of
so much unpleaSantness as
Quickly as possible. In the
latter event, there may come new
trial or a case OF nolle prOseQui later on,
she being allO we'd 10 90 on her own
recognizance, provided her counsel
stands in the breach. II all the people
who desire 20 hear the arguments to-
morrow are accommodated, the Court
will need to adjourn TO some big
park, where deputies and the local
police can be relegated 10 the nearest
woods. The arguments will probably
take al day Monday, and the charge
will be given on Tuesday morning. 1t
being impossible for the jury 20 leave
the court roam after receiving the
charge, 10 is considered as not quite
fair TO start them in on the last stage Of
the proceedings at night fall
The gossip OF the court attendants Is
that the District Attorney will argue
that the girl was naked when she killed
her step-mother, and that when she
bntchered her father she had
on the Bedford cord dress on
which she burned up afterward. 1t is
said that he will argue that after the
deed she kept the Bedford cord dress

mits the most fearful OF murderOus
crimes, he will succeed in making the
case even more unique than is is at
present.
He will undoubtedly dwell long and
impressively on the utter failure Of the
police TO fnd the note that Lizzie said
her stepmother got, and that she was
supposed to have called her out on the
morning Of the murder. He will score the
woman's lawyers for falling to explain
why the prisoner told the first cOmers
that the old lady had received such
note. Ex-Governor Robinson will say

NEW YORK, June 1s.-The Worlds
special from Baltimore says: Mrs. Ram
sew, who keeps a boarding house at No.
s33 st. Pasl street, says that previous
to the Borden murders a boy came
from New England and boarded
. with her. He told her that he was
the adopted son Of Lizzie Borden's
uncle, and that his name was Felix
Borden. He said that his parents
name was Desroches. From all ac-
counts he did not live happily with the
Bordens. and as a result Of disagree
ment with them he left home sud denly.
Felix told Mrs. Ramsay that his home
was In New Bedford or Fall River. He
spent his money freely. He did not
pay his board bill and left, saying that
he was going to his home in Massachu-
setts to get money to settle. a few

Asked If the young man was ever

marks about the Bordens, OF Massachu-
setts, Mrs. Ramsay said: During the
two years Felix lived here he spoke

ONE MORE GREAT DAY.
[con,inuea from First Pagee.l

Somewhat sore over their defeat last
Wednesday, the Britishers spent all day
Yesterday in selecting a crew that should
carry off the prize, and when the twelve
athletic fellows from the Tartar pulled or
from their ship. this afternoon, they went
on their way TO the sound Of cheers and
handclapping from half thousand broad
chested subjects of Queen Victoria.
The course was mile and return. with
three-ouarters of the distance covered the
Britishers were in the lead. As the end OF
the course, opposite the San Francisco,
was neared, the San Francisco crew,
which was a close second, gave magnihl-
cent squirt. and amid yell that ran Ike an
electric current along the entire line OF
American ships, passed their English RI
walls.
The Chicago's, the second crack crew OF
our navy. bent their backs and quickened
their stroke, so that when they tossed
their oars at the finish they were second IN
the race.
Just behind the San Francisco were the
white-shirted Englishmen third. HOW the
siren OF tue San Francisco did below IKE
a bull; how the girls on the deck waived
their handkerchiefs, and now. tue men
shouted until their threats were hoarse.
1t is the general gossip Of the naval OH
GERS that the events in New York next
week will lack all the social brilllancy
which is so delightful here. The week
which closes tonight has been charming
introduction for the foreigners to the social
side of American life, and they will leave
here on Monday with genuine regret
Dances, dinner parties and other enter
tainments have been as frequent as the
booming of the cannon. At night the
Hygiea hotel has been as gay as any
European resort.
At sunset the colors Of all the ships were
lowered and saluted with 81 guns in honor
of the wedding anniversary OF the Queen
and King of Italy.
Secretary Herbert remained on the Dol
phin during the day and this evening he
gave dinner TO the flag officers OF the neet'
which was largely attended.
The gossips are telling pretty story
about Secretary of the Navy Herbert and
Mrs. Manning, widow Of Daniel Manning,
Secretary Of the Treasury under Mr.
Cleveland's first administration.
The story is to the effect that these two
will be the contracting parties in we'd
ding shortly to take place.
The presence OF Mrs. Manning on the
Dolphin now at Fort Monroe, as the guest
of Secretary Herbert, gives color TO the
rumOr.
