A New York jury has acquitted Nora
Jenries OF the awful charge of murder
ing her father and both the clrcum-
stances OF the case and the ground on
which acqunttal was secured almost
duplicate the famous Borden tragedy
The murdered man was struck down
with an axe, there was ground for the
belief that the Caughter Was not on
good terms with her father and the de-
fense has not undertaken 10 suggest by
whom else the crime may have been
committed or what motive any other
person than the daughter could have
had for committing the crime OF course
the defense was not called upon 20 sup
ply any theories OF this sort but only
20 clear the woman and leave il to the
state 30 hunt down the guilty party II
her innoc nee was demonstrated. AS i'm
the Borden case Il was shown TO have
been well nigh impossible for the mur-
der 70 have been done without spatter-
ing blood ON the murderer's clothes but
fortunately Mrs. Jcffrles neither chang.
cd her garments nor washed her hands
SO far as could be shown, between IN,
time OF tn crime and her arrest and no
blood stains were found on either. Tn,
absence OF which proved convincing 10
the jury that the woman could not have
committed the murder.

Jersey City Union Wants Him to De-
liver the Labor Day Address.
Secretary William Crosbie had more
honors heaped on him at the meeting
of Painters and Decorators union in
labor headquarters last evening. A
communication was received from Jer-
sey City, inviting Secretary Crosble,
who is vice president of the Broth
erhood of Painters and Decorators, to
deliver an address at the Labor day
celebration of unions in that city. Sec
rotary Crosbie will probably accept.
a report of the painters and deco
rators' fight against the employment of
non-union labor in painting the public
school of that city, was received. In
II of the 30 schools in the city strikes
were ordered. Inside of week the
general strike was settled in favor of
the painters. A special meeting of the
union will be held Thursday night
When vote. will be taken to decide
whether the union, as a body favors
holding the convention at Milwaukee in
December or having the election of of.
hcers by referendum vote. Mr.. Crosbie
has received communications from 70
unions, all favoring the holding of the
national convention, and it is probable
that the local union will vote along the
same lines. One hundred tickets for the
field day sports at the oval Labor day
were received and distributed among
members of the union.

BOOT AND SHOE WORKERS
Arbitrary Tactics of the National Con-

Arbitrary Tactics of the National Con-
vention Are Not Pleasantly Received.
The Boot and Shoe Workers Union
will meet in labor headquarters this
evening.
Marlboro unions have been stirred up
by alleged arbitrary tactics at the ma
tional convention at Rochester. A new
constitution was adopted which goes in
to effect this week. BY it, the dues are
increased to 25 cents each week. For
merly per cent of the receipts were
turned over to headquarters. Hereaf-
ter two-thirds of the total amount re-
ceived from dues is ordered for use by
the general officers.
OF the 66 2-3 per cent which is to be
paid into the general Office, one-third
goes towards strike fund, one-third to
a newly created sick and death benefit
fund, and the remainder is to be used
for current expenses. The general Of
flee will have three times as much coin
under it's wing than formerly if the
unions abide by the new constitution.
In New York state and in Brockton
and Lynn shoe workers have taken a
decided stand against the convention
proceedings. President Tobin has been
receiving a salary Of $25 per week and
Secretary Eaton $40. An executive ses-
sion recently resulted in the announce
ment that the salary of each had been
fixed at $3.50 with discretionary powers
as to the use of the $4,000 which is
supposed to roll into the national treas
urY.
Worcester members of the union are
not numerous. There are but few over
a hundred members of the local union,
but If the matter is brought up for dis
cussion at the meeting tonight, there
will be lively time, as several of the
members have expressed dissatisfaction
at the turn of affairs.

Thirty veterans went to Fall River
yesterday with the Gen. Putnam. The
tub had been sent ahead. The vets
marched through Main and Front
streets to the depot at o'clock headed
by the Cadets drum corps. The re-
turn to this city was made at IL O'Clock
last evening. The stay-at-homes had
prepared a celebration in the event of
winning prize, and the red fire was
burned. Foreman Robert Goldbridge
was pleased at the showing made at
the muster. 1t had been hoped that rs
men would accompany the Worcester
veterans, but bad weather gave them
big setback.
Owen McDarrell and Eugene Liber-
ty, who had taken the tub to Fall River.
met the boys at the station and es-
corted them to headquarters at the
Mellen house. The proprietor, E. S.
Crowell, formerly lived in this city and
was a member of the police force. He
entertained Worcester vets royalty, and
the boys had no kick coming when they
arrived home last night.

Pawtucket Company

GARDNER COMPANY TOOK FIFTR,
General Pntnams Were in
Twenty-first Position
in the Race.

Fall River, Aug. 24.-Thirty seven
hand engine fire companies mostly
from Massachusetts, and Rhode Island,
pumped hard for the honor of their re-
spective ''tubs" in the annual tourna-
ment of the New England Veteran
Firemen's Association today, and Hay
cart company of Pawtucket won with
1872 feet, 3 inches. The Eureka No.
company of Arlington was a good Sec
ond with 100 feet 2$ inches, while the
Phoenix of Marblehead was third, 1877
feet, inches, and Eagle of Lynn,
fourth, 1856 it., 51s inches. Baw Beese of
Gardner was fifth, 1870 feet, 10 inches.
Naturally the relocated veterans Of
the Haycart company are rejoicing to-
night, although their victory is not as
yet an assured fact, for there is a pro-
test against them, on the ground that
they did not participate in the morning
parade. The Haycart machine arrived
rather late, and Joined the procession
just before it reached the judges
stand, but it is claimed that only three
men belonging to the company had hold
of the rope at this time, the machine

There also is some dispute as to the
"booby" prize between the Chauncey
company of Hyde Park and the Red
Jackets of Cambridge. The latter, how
ever, made no record at all, not being
able to hit the paper, while the Chaun-
cey score was 1877 feet Az inches, which
was the lowest of the day.
If the firenen had not been used to
water the heavy rain in the morning,
certainly would have somewhat marred
their enjoyment of the day, and it was
disagreeable from the standpoint of the
spectators, although 10000 persons
watched the contest in the afternoon
and twice as many lined the streets
through which the parade passed in
the morning.
The parade was formed at $50 o'clock
and the line moved under the escort of
the fire department of the city, and the
local veteran firemens association and
was reviewed at city hall.
Previous to the playout, the judges
awarded the association trophy for the
best appearing company to New Bed
ford, and the silver cup for the best
looking hand engine to the Red Jackets
of Cambridge. The silver trumpet for
the company having the most men in
line also was given to the New Bed
ford company, while a special prize of
SO for the best appearing piece of APP
paratus in the local department went
to steamer 5. Summary of playout:
