THE HORRORS OF PARIS DUPLICATED IN NEW ENGLAND. t Wealti-y Mill Owner amd la wits Chopped to Death-A Daugh,ter of ithe Murdered CoualeSus,o cted of Comapilee 13 In the Crime. kALL RIVEn, MAss, Aug. 5.--An Irew J. Borden, a wealthy real estate iwner and mill man, and his wife were ound dead at their home, No. 92 2d itreet, about noon yesterday. Both had )een mutilated about the head and face ith an axe, cleaver or razor. Bor len lay on a sofa in a room on the top loor of the house. ils head had been ut and gashes from four to six inches ong were found on his face and neek. dra Borden was in her own chamber n the upper floor and the (ondition of ter face and head was the same as that of her husband. She lay face downard in the bed,which was a veritable pool )f blood. After a imost thorough and persistent, search no trace has beeti ound of the murderer. Four police nen are on guard at the house and iave been patrolling the neighborhood inDce the atfiir was made public. This morning State I)etective Seaver Ld City Marshal ililliard held a long -onsultation, and later on visited and nterrugated Miss Lizzie, daughter of MlIr. and Mrs Borden, at the house. The result of their investigation will not be cnown until an arrest or some kind hias been made. The strict watch that hias been kept over John W. Morse, brother-in-law of Mr. horden by his irst marriage, was even more strictly kept to-day than ever. It appearsto be the desire of the police to make no ar rests until after the funeral, unless it becomes known that the murderers ac tually entered the house and escaped within an hour, an idea that is scouted by the police at the present time. The following advertisement ap peared in to-night's local papers: "Five thousand dollars reward. Above re ward will be paid to anyone who may ,ecure the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who occasionett the :leath of Andrew .1. Borden and his wife. Emma .1. liorden, Lizzie J. Bor len." Late this afternoon it was reported it the police station that, a young man, isaid to be a nephew of Borden, was be ing suspected of the murders. It arose rrom the fact that some time ago Mr. ,md Mrs Borden were overheard in an gry talk with a young nman over the ivision of some properto'. As the young man wasg partng frim them at the front door he was heard to say: "lly God, yon have cheated me and I will make you suffer." The report was sifted, and it. was fA11-A "at such conversation had oc curred, but it happened ten months ago, and the young man had not been seen since. The polic left the this clue readily and again turned their atten tion to the house. The antecedents of John V. Morse and his connections are being closely hunted and the girl Liz nie is again being subjected to risrorous examination. Morse is 55 years of age, and came here from Iastings, Iowa, two years ago. Ile became very inti mate with Borden and Lizzie Borden, 3pendinT a great deal of his time with them. IIe came from New Bedford at noon on the day before the murder and ipent the night in the Borden house. lIe left there at9 e'clock on the day of the crime and was next seen twenty minutes after the bodies were discover d. The police believe that there was either a previous attempt at killing by poison, or that poison was administered is a preparatory step for the crime. On the morning of their death both Mr. and Mirs Borden arose from sleep feeling i. They hand drank milk before going to bed and it is believed that if a drug were administered it was clone then. It is here that suspicion of conspilracy soincides with the presence of the brother-in-law in the house. After Medical Examiner D)olanm, as sisted by other physicians, had com pleted the autopsy on the bodies the itomachs of both were lahced in alcohol md sent to lBostoni with the view of dei termining iif poisoning had been at tempted. The poison theory is borne nut b)y the fact that the condition of thme rooms in which the two bodies were found showed no signs of struggle, not a pie0ce of furniture being out ot its place, while there wvas very littlo blood scattered about, although ib0 den s tained no less than twelve cuts on the face and skull, verying in length from four to eight inches, and a fracture of the skull two by tour inches and three inches deep. Mrs Biorden's wuounds were nott o1 so whotlesale a nature. That the mnurdler could have been committed by am stranger who escaped ih very doubtful, as there were manmy persons about who would have sot a him leaving the place after the deed. Another suspicious circu msttance is that the comission of the dleed should have been timed for the exact period when the servaunt girl, JBridlget Suul livan, was busy cleaning outside of the windows and so out of the way. This girl heard no commotion or groan, while Miss Bordeni says that she heard a noise while she wvas in thme barn, and hurried in to find the bodies of her tdead parents. The remnarkale thing is that Miss Borden. alt.hou gh, according to the servant's story, she supposed that her mother was out, did not give the alarm when she found her father's body, hut went to her mother's room, and it was her shriek from that place which attracted the servant and( a neighbor to the scene. it is believed by somec that lIorden and his wife were suffering from drow siness produced by (frugs or other wise, were asleep when the assassin attacked them, and that sudden and swift bale 's quickly ended the bloody business. The Evening Globe Ba s this evening that a most importaat clue is in posses sion of the police. Fronm Clerk Eli 15ence at D). 1U. Smith's dlrug store they lear ned last night that Miss Borden had been In the store within three h.ours past and inquired for a certain polson. The clerk was asked to accompany the oflicers, who closely questioned him as to facts relative to the time, the girl's condition mentally, the amount and qjuality of poison she had bought or called for-. 'The officers then took the drug clerk to the residence in 2dt striet, wvhere liiss Lizzie was mtopping for the time being. The young man was not well acquainted with the young wo man, but he had told thmeiz that he could identify her at sight. ie did identify her and in the presence of others Informed then that she was in his place of business, and made in quiries for a bottle of poison. Miss Borden's reply to this accUsation, as well as the exact language which used at the time, is known only to the police men and herself. THE CAMPAIGN IS ON.

Ilon1. John '1'. Duncombe: i' DMAR- Sin: Your letter of .J uly 13 is at hand and I thank you for the friendly sentiments which it contains. I remember very well the perplixities involved in lily action upon the Des Moines river laud grant. My inemory is entirely clear upon two points which largely entered into my consideration. After reading the UCcisions of the sourts upon the questions involved in the bill which was before me for my action, it was entirely clear that the only result of legislat ion would be to further involve the inforttinate settlers in litigation, and further load them with expeise to no puipose. Subse quent events seeined to have approved that I was right in this. Another thought which was liriuly inii mind, which was distinctlv and eimphatically declared In my veto w as to the eflect tat if any settler had been induced to go upon latid and expend money on imi provenients on facts of' some ruling of the land department such settler should be fairly and justly remitnerated for his outlay. I should nave been glal at any time to have relieved such settlers if it had been poseible for ine to do so, and no one can accuse me of acting in a man ner in any other spirit than that of ex treme kindness and tenderness toward those who had been injured by vacilla tIon of the government oficials. This matter can be made so plain by refer eice to the laws and to my veto,and to judicial decisions bearing )pon the point, that I do not see how it is possi ble for any persons to misrepresent or misunderstand the true condition.

C., Aug 9.-The State of tod>y publishes the following, which that paper publishes as a special dispatch from Greenville under (late of Aug. 8: A meetivg arranged by the executive committee of Anderson county, which committee is all Tillmamte, was held at Cedar Grove today. Maj. Murray is one of the S'ieppard and Orr electors for Anderson count.y, and accompanied by Mr. Ja. 1. Gossett lie drove there in a boggy, his intention being to speak with I the other candidates. They halted near the stand, wille Secretary of State Tindal was t peaking, witLhout,;the faintest idea that danger brooded over them. -Vien he got, out of his buggy, Maj. - Murray was set upon by several score - of men, headed by B. F. Dacus of Wil lianiston and Wi. Acker ofTony Creek. The crowd made threatening gestures and abusive cries. Maj. Murray at temipted to treat the mat,ter lightly, and started towards Lim stand. lie was met - by I solid wall of nen. W. A. Neal shouted that Murray had a ritht to be present, and Dr. Cheshire, one lot' the committee of arrangements, tried t. lead hii to the stand; but the infuriated Tillmanites forced him back - towaro, his buggy, and began to strike at him, one fellow hitting 111111 with an unbrella. lie resisted as well as ha coul, but soI)In realised that he was powerless, and that lie vas at the mercy of a mob iIn his own county. lie was I rushed back to his huggy, and in the I meaitiine ii nmiluber of men in the crowd - were en1deavoring to dflend him. -Ile crowd left the stand and flocked 11 around Nlaj. lurray and Mr. Gossett. It s was a tvene of terrible confusion. Some men made desperate efforts to reach Murra\, while sonic more fair-minded ones strove to prevent such actiou. H The niob was fast getting beyond control, s when James ScotL. ofGreenville county, 1and several others seized Murray, lifted d him into the buggy and told him to whip out wh:e there was time. Gossett had the reins, and tr1l to drive oil, but, sone of the Tillmatil. seemed bent 91u hiy Y ing Mrray's blood, and they held on to t- the wh,.wls, aud were dragged somo dIs et ance. Maj. Murray was struck by oth I ers on the back and shoulders ats lie was n drivimg off. As the horses dashed away. stones were hurled at the retreating 10 mietn. Marks were left on the buggy, )f atl) sever)l missiles struck the oc'C C panlts. 'hey drove to Willianiston, where the Conservalve meeting was in c progress, and universal indignation was V expresed at the news of the disgracelul d alfair. e The correspondent of the Columbia e liegister at, Williamston gives the fol lowing version of the affair: The regular county meeting was ap pointed to-day for Cedar Grove, where t the county candidates were to address .. the voters of Anderson County. The it Conservatives advertised the meeting 4. at Williamston, three miles from Cedar SGrove Church, and it was liberally t whoop-d up. Excursion trains were run an'l every effort was made to get ,out a Hig crowdl, but whlen several Con servative canidlates arriycd here the rcrowd was like P'addyh's f'lca-efsewhiere. rOnly a few people, mostly women t~ and small boys, were out to hear the a mni who wish to rescue the State from (I one of t.he best, governments it has had. i. At, Cedar G rove there were 2,500Ovot Sers, and most of' them, in fact nearly all s oh theni. favored Tifiman atnd Iteformn. e When the Conservatives advertisedl a I heir m'eeting at, a point so near where e3 the reguilar' meeting was to be held on e the saime day, seyeral lieform leaders .asked hir initatiouns for their candidates, so fbat thse meeting could be a joint af Shair, hut wazs pecremptorily refused, the other s hie either fearing the eec the a sp)eeches of the I tefoim candlidates would -fauve in ex posmng the fallacies andl sophiis e tries of their speaikers, or else they wishied to draw the crowd away from bi Cedari G rove and the arguments oif the r counity lI eform leaders. e IfU the latter was their purpose5 they Y siginaliy failed, for the crowdV( wenit to Cedar Grove just the same, and hieardl miag niicen t ltef'orm speeches, while thie C'onservative candidates, sheppard, Orr et al.. had very few to talk to at the miee tin whde hi their "d(og in the man Sger'' coinduct had p)reventedl the Rleform .orators from attending. .Miijor' E.

A li few rocks were thrown after his huggy, n~ injuring it somewhat. It is said Mur e iray recei ved sorse bruises. i.
