B0RDEx 'MUkDER : REc4LEED.
An Axe Found Under the Floor OF Wood.
shed Near the, House.

FALL RIVER. Mass, May l3.--The dis-
covery OF an axe hidden beneath a lot Of
coal under the floor OF the woodshed of
Mrs. Margaret Milard, in the rear Of the
Borden estate, OH Second street, has re-
vived interest in the murder Of Andrew
j. Borden and his wife, which occurred on
nearly three months ago. the public did
not learn of 1t until yesterday, and all the
gossip connected with that famous case
has been talked over again.
Ordinarily, the discovery OF an axe under
woodshed would not excite great inter-
est. but the finding Of this one, wrapped
in newspaper, hardly a stones throw
from the Borden house, has made a sensa-
ton. and the police have been investigating
tho matter quietly, in hope that 1t will
lead to the solving Of the mystery OF the
death of the Bordens.
The Milard woodshed s just In the rear
Of the Borden house. While Mrs. Milard
was engaged in getting kndlings the
flooring gave way and she stepped into a
hole. Surprised at the incident, she looked
about her and discovered quantity OF coal.
She carried two hods Of the fuel into the
house and then uncovered the axe. 1t
had the appearance OF not having been
used very much, and the handle bore some
dark stains that might have been blood.
The matter was reported to the police
and they took charge Of the axe. The
police have never given up hope Of bring
ing the murderer OF the Bordens to JUS
tice, and to that end they have arranged
to produce the skulls Of the dead people
at any time they desire
The skulls were exhibited at the trial Of
Miss Lizzie c. Borden and have been care

SPIRIT DEED DOESN'T STAND.
Explorer Caycndish Gets His properly
Back From the Medium.

.so,tioi cable Despatch to THE SrS.
LONDON. Nav 13.--The Court of Chancery
today got aside the deed by which Henry
II s Coyondish turned over the bulk of
his nronerty to Major C.. II. Strut. an Off
Ger in the British Army. Cavendish brought
the suit against Major Strut To recover
possession of his property on the ground
that the officer had gained control OF 1t
through spiritualistic devices .
This case has attracted a great deal OF
attention. The plaintiff il a young African
explorer. He spent nearly 81 ,0OO,Coo III
four wears, largely in theatrical ventures
and in buying iewe!ry for actresses a
year ago last April he married isabel Jay
the leading actress of the Savoy Theatre
After spending great deal of his money
in explorations and in the other ways re-
fcrred to, Cavendish turned over the re-
mainder of his property, amounting 10
some s2OO, 900, by settlement to the de-
PENDANT, Major Strut. to administer IN
trust for him
The evidence showed that Cavendlsh
had been induced to believe by table rap
pings, plunchette writing and other devices
that he was in communication with the
spiri, of his dead mother. who spoke to
him. Cavcndsh testified during the trial
that Ma Tor and Mrs. Strut carried on their
spiritualistc seances daily, only stopping
long enough for meals
"We," said tho plaintiff, had commum-
cations from the angels and archangels.
All sorts of messages came from them
prayers, poetry and stories of professions
in heaven. Sometimes the angels made
reference to our business matters. Their
advice always conceded with that OF the
Struts"
The Judge, in rendering his decision
to-day, held that the plaintiff had not been
fairly advised in regard to the full meaning
of the settlement with Major Strut. which
he accordingly set aside.
