UNDETECIED GRIMES.
A Great Number of Mysterious Muir

.rcDnqrn has said thar


Murder, though it hath no tongue
VIII speak with most miraculous or
gan"
And we are all familiar with the pro-
verb which says Murder will out but
nevertheless within The past forty or
fifty years there have been, in this
country alone, a great number of mys-
Eerious murders, whose perpetrators
have never been discovered and never
will b. in all human probability, and
which will always remain unsOlved mys-
ferries Of crime. To recall some Of these
viii form a strange, romantic recital
that must prove Of absorbing interest
to every reader.
The murder Of Mr. and Mrs. Borden,
in Fan River, Mass, in the summer Of
1892 is comparatively fresh in the mem
DRY of the newspaper readers. Their
daughter. Lizzie, was arrested and tried
for the crime, but was acquitted, though
The circumstantial evidence against her
was very strong. She was The only per-
son in the house at the time the murder
was committed, she having sent her ser
want girl 10 clean windows ON the Out
side. No one was seen to enter or leave
the house. and she was the person who
discovered the bodies Of her father and
mother. and WlO gave the first notice
that dreadful murder had been done.
No subsequent clue was ever obtained
that could possibly throw any light up
On the matter, and il is probable that it
will never be known who killed Mr. and
Mrs. Borden until the last great day
when the sea shall give up its dead.
Another mysts TiOus murder which al
fracted as much general attention at the
time as that Of Mr.. and Mrs. Borden,
was what is still known in police an
nails as the Nathan murder and which
was committed nearly a quarter OF a
century ago. Nathan was a wealthy
Hebrew who lived in elegant style in
the most fashionable part Of New York
Civ. For some time previous 10 MS as
sassination he had been greatly worried
Inv the conduct Of his son, the principal
heir 10 his great fortune, who was IN
cIiuad 10 be fast and was rapidly

murder the old man SAT up in his IL

DISAGREED WITH THE GENERAL.
Filth of n Long Statement Explaining the
Salvation Army Secession.


Salvation Army Secession.
New York, April l3-B allfnston Booth
has given out a long statement in explana-
ton of the rebellion in the Salvation
Army, tho pith OF which is in brief that
Ballington Booth disagreed with his COM
mander-in chief, and preferred to split the
army to oocying orders The cause of
the trouble was that General Booth in
sisted that national Hines should not be
drawn and his son insisted that they
should. The dispute had been in progress
for two years before the final break came
The anti-Ehgiish feeling in this country
is mentioned as, one reason why che gem
erals ideas should nos be carried oNt.. r.,
The statement says Of General Booth
that "He objected to the display of the ma
tional flag upon our badges and in our
halls and homes. He said the time had
arrived to cease carrying the stars and
stripes at the head of our parades. He
objected to the use of the eagle upon our
crests. and constantly spoke depreciating-
~ of the country, its people and its in
situations" Generally the stateIpent
shows that Ballington Booth was ont Of
sympathy and agreement with the Saliva
ton Army. He wanted to work on na-
tional lines; his father wanted to abolish
national lines.
Naturally they could not agree on the
policy to be pursued in this country. One
incident is given Of the disagreement that
existed as to discipline. Without con-
sulting his father, it appears, Ballington
prohibited the use Of tobacco in the army.
Later n book of rules was received from
the headquarters CT the army in London
abolishing Ballington's rule. Ballington
81 4. \ a
told that one rule must stand in all coun-
tries refused to obey and expunged the
tobacco paragraph in the headquarters
rules.
In fact Ballington's case is that tho
general insisted on being supreme in Tie
army and dictated its policy in all coup-
tries, n state OF things that he (Balling-
ton) could not agree with, SO the secession
came.
