The Preacher Thrasbed Him.

We all remember how, in "Pickwick
Papers" the elder Weller came home after
his wife's funeral and thrashed the psrson
who had been making free with the Weller
domicile. Tony's experience was reversed
In the case of Clarence Saunders of Victor,
N. Y, who returned to his home the other
night and found church sociable in
progress, presided over by Rev. Mr.. Mer-
ritt of the Methodist church. The irate
man accused Mr.. Merritt of Interfering
with his household management, and dur.
ing the row that followed he was soundly
thrashed by the minister.

dead OF night, the horror at its perpetra.
tion could not have been greater, but the
mystery surrounding the case would have
been very much lessened.
At the time the murder was con, 'tted
Miss Emma l.. Borden was on Wis. tc
some relatives out of the city; the hire
man was not about; Bridget Sullivan was
then in her own room, In the attic; Mr..
Borden was lying on sofa In the sitting
room; Mrs. Borden was setting her own
room to rights, and Lizzie Borden was In
the barn.
The weapon with which the murders
were committed was an ordinary ak, such
as is used for splitting kindling wood.
Acting under the orders Of City Marshal
Rufus B. Hilliard, all the available police
force of Fall River was put upon the case.
The only person in the house at the time
of the murders, except the victims and the
murderer, was Bridget Sullivan. She was
lying on her own bed, In the attic, when
she heard Miss Lizzie Borden shouting to
her: Father Is dead Go for Dr. Bowen"
1t was the opinion Of those who were at
all able to reason about the crime that the
motive for the murder was money, but
that the criminal, alarmed by the return
from the barn of Miss Lizzie Borden,
made his escape without taking any
thing. Miss Lizzie Borden, although
overwhelmed by the terrible blow, never
lost, her self possession, but to all the
questioning told her story again and
again without any variation, or any OF
those signs of hysteria which even strong
woman might be expected to have shown
under these trying circumstances.
The autopsy proved the murder to have
been Of the most cruel character. There
were 13 wounds on Mr.. Borden's head, the
majority of which had pierced through the
skull to the brain, and one had severed
the eyeball and right jaw bone. Mrs.
Borden's body was even more severely
dealt with. The skull was broken into
fragments and the flesh literally chopped
into ribbons. In addition, there was a
deep cut between the shoulder blades,
which pierced the lungs. The doctors
were in doubt as To which of the victims
was first killed, and to determine this the
stomachs were removed and the contents
examined. A strlkingly remarkable re.
suit of this investigation was the oonolu-
sion of the doctors that the woman had
been dead for two hours before the man.
1t further appeared that Mrs. Borden had
been struck murderous blow from behind
while she was making the bed. She fell
forward on her face, and the flend oontin-
ued the hacking as before described. An.
other curious fact was developed by the
examination of the stomachs of the mur.
dered man and woman, and that was that
they had been undergoing a process OF
slow poisoning for some time. The inves-

pressed with certain belief that the muir
derer must have had an iron will, heart
OF flint and a cool head, otherwise this
terrible crime could not have been oom-
mitted without leaving some traces Of the
assassin.
The detectives and police officers were
at their wits end. A hint had been sent
out that mysterious man had been seen
on the door steps of Mr.. Borden's house q
few days before and the authorities, In
their anxiety to tasten the orime upon
eomsbody, osme TO the opinion that thii
Uncertain man was the murderer. When
the people of Fall River could regain their
senses, they came to the opinion that the
murderer must have been a person entirely
familiar with the habits OF the Borden
family, and ss 10 theft had been commit
tied they came 20 the further conclusion
that another motive than that OF plundei
lay behind tho crime.

The country has q debt u& J.:

PORTO RICO.
a COMPARATIVELY UNKNOWN
ISLAND BELONGING TO SPAIN.
Besides Cuba 1t is the Sole Remain.
ing Spanish Possession In the
West Indies-Rich in
Memories -

- PAINS vast possessions in the
N two Americas have at last
= dwindled to two islands of the
West Indies, Cuba and Porto
Rico. The former is we'll known
through the scenes OF bloodshed and
war with which we have become
familiar. The latter, Porto Rico, the
ssRich PORT" SO called by the early
Spaniards because of its fertile soil
and great shipments OF tropical pro-
ducts, is comparatively unknown.
Few tourists so there, as there is no
direct line of steamers with passenger
accommodation, although the island
has many and varied attractions. 1t
lies in about the same latitude (18
degrees north) as the island of st.
Thomas, and is situated between that
isle and Santo Domingo. Two great
names are connected with tho esrly
history of Porto Rico, not to mention
many others since its discovery and
first settlement. Columbus discovered
the island, on his second voyage, in
1893, and gave TO it the name of San
Juan Bautista, or st. John the Baptist,
but its native name was Borinquen.
Fifteen years after, in 1903, another
name now famous in the annals OF
America was linked with that of the
recently discovered island. Ponce de
Leon, then the Spanish Governor of
the eastern province of Santo Dom.
lngo, had his attention called to Porto
Rico by reports of rich gold finds in
its rivers. Some of the golden sands
were brought to him, and he at once
organized an expedition for conquest
and exploration.
He and his mail clad soldiers were
we'll received by the native chieftain,
the Cacique Agueynaba, and allowed
to take up as much of the rich terri.
tory as they needed. But that did
not satisfy the barbarous Spaniards OF
that day; they wanted all or nothing,
and proceeded at once to exterminate
