AT THE TABERNACLE. * ' ' DR. TALiwAGE SPEAKS OF THE CON SOLATIONS OF CHRISTIANITY The Cluster of Cirap?? From Canaan TjH* tk*H the CI??ters of Hopi&i, or Pro? {MfCtA :ua<l of Coasoiatacn Con vere<i In th*-, of Cbrvt. Brooklyn, .June 18. ? Kev. Dr. Taiuiage in selecting a theme for to day s sermon in the Brooklyn Taber nacle choae one peculiarly suitable to the season of fruits, the title being "Grapes From Canaan and the text Numbers xiii, 23, "Ami they came unto the brook of Kschol and cut down from tbenoe a branch with one cluster of grape*, an<I theyjiare it be tween two upon a staff." The long trudge of the Israelites acr<#? the wil?Jerues3 was almost ended. Thev hail come to the borders of the ]m)i^ised land. Of the b00,000 adultiNjrho started from Egypt for Canaan, Th,?w many <lo you suppose _rt>t therefxHm hundred! thousand? OU, no. Not 20(H)00, not 100,000, nor 'jO, nor 20, n<^ 10, but only 2 j men. Oh, it was a ruinous march that God's people made, but their children were living, and they were on the march, and now that they had come up to the borders of the promised o, land they were very curiou>o know what kiud oi a place it^was, and whether it would be safe to go over. So a scouting party is sent out to rec onuoiter, and they examine the land,_ and they come back bringing speci mens of its growth. Just as you came back from Cali fornia bringing to your family a bas ket of pears or plums or apples to show what monstrous fruit they have there, so this scouting party cut off the biggest bunch of grapes they could rind. It was so large that one man coukl not carry it, and thef. thrust a pole through the ciusfe^fjtad there was one m-n at either end of the pole, and so the bunch of graves was trans ported. * 1 was some time ago in a luxuriant vineyard. The vine dreswr had 4one his work. The vine had clambered up and spread its wealth ail over the arbor. The sun and shower had mixed a cup which the vine drank " unHTwTtF flushed cheek it lay slum bering in the light, cluster against a the cheek of cluster. The rinds of the grapes seemed almost bursting with the juice in the warm lips of the autumnal day, and it seemed as if all you had to do was to lift a chalice toward the cluster and its lifeblood would begin to drip away. But, my friends, in these rigorous climes we know nothing about large grapes. ^ Starbo states that in Bible times and in Bible lands there were grape vines so large that it took two men with outstretched arms to reach round them, and he says there were clusters 2 cubits in length or twice the length" from the elbow to the tip of the loag finger. And Achaicus, dwelling in those lands, tells us that during the time he was smitten with fever one gTape would slake his thirst for the whole day. No wonder, then, in these Bible times two men thought it worth their while to put their strength together to carry down one cluster of grapes from the promised land. A CLUSTER OF HOPES AND C0580LA r- ? TIOS*?. But this morning I bring you a larger cluster from the heavenly Eschol ? a cluster of hopes, a cluster oft prospects, a cluster of Christian consolation?, and I am ejpactjgg that *ifcne taste of H will rouse up your ap petites for the heavenly Canaan. Dur ing the past winter some of this con gregation have gone away never to return. The aged have put down their staff and taken up the scepter. Men in midlife come home from office or shop and did not go back again and never will go back again. And the dear children, some of them, have been gathered in Christ's arms. He found thfs world too rough a place for them, and so he has gathered them in. And, oh, how many wounded souls there are ? wounds for which this world offers no medicament? and unless from the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ there shall come a consolation there will be no consolation at all. Oh, that the God o^all comfort would help me while I preach, and that the God of all eomfort would help you while you hear! First, I console you with the divine ly sanctioned idea that your departed friends are as much yours now as they ever were. I know you sometimes get the^3ea in your mind, when you have this kind of trouble, that your friends are cut off from you and they are no longer yours, but the desire to have all our loved ones in the same lot in the cemeterv is a natural desire, a J 7 universal desire and therefore a God implanted desire and is mightily sug gestive of the fact that death has no power to break up the family relations. If our loved ones go away from our possession, why put a feoee around oar ]0f in the cemetery? Why the gathering of four or five names on one _Jaaaily monument? Why the planting of one cypress vine so that it covers all the cluster of graves? Why put the hasband beside the wife and the children at Ueir feet? Why the bolt on the gate bf our lot, and the charge to the keepers of the ground to see that the grass is eat, and the vine at tended to, and the flowers planted? Why not pot our departed friends in one comi^on field or grave? Oh, it is becass??i)!?T aprfrurs. That c^ikC O stricken mother! is as ! muckJftflurs this morning as in the j ^nfe'mn hoar when G?d put it against j l^our heart and said as of old, "Take j this child and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thj wages." It is no mere whircu It is a divinely planted principle in the soul* and God certain ly would not plant a lie, and he would not culture a lie! Abraham would not allow Sarah to be Varied in a stranger's grounds, although some very beauti ful ground was offered him a free gift, bat he pays 400 shekels for Machpelah, the c&ve/and the trees overshadowing it The grave has been well kept, and today the Christian traveler stands fa thoughtful and admiring mood, gazidg upon Machpelah, where Graham and Sarah are taking their long sleep of 4,000 years. Yoar faifcor may be slumbering un der the tinkling of the bell of the Scotch kirk. Yoar brother may have gone down in the ship that foundered off Cape Hatteras. Your little child may be sleeping on the verge of the flowering western prairie, yet God will gather them all up, however widely the dust may be scattered. Neverthe less it is pfeasani to think that we will be buried togetlfcflr. When my father died and we took him out and put him down in tke graveyard of Somer ville, it did not aeam 00 sad to leave ham there, because light beside him was my dear, good, old beautiful Christian mother, and it seemed as if she said: "I was tired, andS,^came to bed a lit tie early. I am glachyou have come. It seems as of old." COMPANIONSHIP IN DEATH. ' Oh, it a consolation to feel that, when men come and with solemn tread carry you out to your resting-place, they will open the gate through which some of your friends have already gone, and through which many of your friends will follow. Bleeping under the same roof, at last sleeping under the same aod. The autumnal leaves that drift across your grave will drift across theirs, the bird songs that drop on their mound will drop on yours, and then, in starless winter nights, when the wind comes howling through the gorge, you will be company jfor each other. The child close up to the bosom of its mother. The husband and wife remarried; on their lipe the sacrament of the dust (* Brothers and sisters who used in sport to fling themselves on the grass now again reclining side by side in the grave, in flecks of sunlight sifting through the long, lithe willows. Then at the trumpet of the archangel to. rise side by ade, shaking themselves from the dust of ages. The faces that were ghastly and fixed when yeu saw them last all aflush with the tight of incorruption. The father looking around on his children and saying, "Come, come, my darlings, this is the ; morning of the resurrection." Mrs Sigourney wrote beautifully with the tears and blood of her own broken heart: There was a shaded akaniber, A xilent, watching band, On a low couch a suffering child (- rasping her mother's hand. But 'mid the gasp and struggle With shuddering lips she cried, "Mother, oh, dearest mother, Bury me by yonr side." Only one wish she uttered, As life was ebbing fast, ?'Sleep by my side, dear mother, And rise with me at last." Oh, yes, we want to be buried together. Sweet antetype of ecedast ing residence in each other's compan ionship. - ^When the wrecker went down into the cabin of the lost steamer, he found the Mother and child in each other's anms. It was sad, but it was beauti ful, and it was appropriate. Together tfiey went down. Together they will rise. One on earth. One in heaven. Is there not something cheering in all this thought, and something to im press upon as the idea that the depart* ed are ours, yet ? ours forever? ; But I console you again with the fact of you* present acquaintanceship and communication with your depart ed friends. I have no sympathy, I need ^ot say, with the ideas of modern spirtualism, but what I mean is the theory 9et forth by the apostle, when he says, "We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses." Just as in the ancient amphitheater there were 80,000 or 100,000 people looking down from the galleries upon the combatants in the center, so, says Paul, there is a great host ot your friends in all the galleries of the sky looking down upon our earthly strug gles. It is a sweet, a consoling, a Scriptural idea. With wing of angel, earth and heaven are in constant com munication. DoesJ not the Bible say, "Are they not sent forth as minister ing spirits to those who shall be heirs of salvation?" And when ministering spirits come down and see us, do they not take some message back? COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EARTH AND HEAVEN. It is impossible to realize, I know the idea that there is such rapid and perpetual intercommunication of earth and heaven, but it ia a glorious reality. You take a ra?l train, and the train is ] in full motion, and another train from 1 the opposite direction dashes past you ; so swiftly that you are startled. All I the way between here and heaven is filled with the up trains and the down i trains ? spirits coming ? spirits going ! ? coming ? going ? coming ? going. That friend of yours who died last month ? do you not suppose he told all the family news about you in the good land to the friends who are gone? Do you not suppose that when there are hundreds of opportunities every day for them in heaven to hear from .you that they ask about you, that they know your tears, your temptations, your struggles, your victories? Aye, they do. Perhaps during the last war you had a boy in the army, and you got a pass, and you went through the lines, and you found him, and the regiment coming from your neighborhood you knew most of the boys there. One day you started for home. You said: "Well, now, have you any letters to send? Any messages to send?" And they filled your pockets with letters, and you started home. Arriving home, the neighbors came in, and one said, "Did you see my John?" and others, "Did you. see George?" "Do you know anything about my Frank?" And then you brought out the letters and gave them the messages of which you nad been the bearer. Do you sup pose that angels of God* coming down to this awful battlefield of sin and sor- ; row and death and meeting Us and seeing us and finding out all about us, ! carry back no message to the skies? Ob, there is consolation in it! You ! are in present'commimication with that land. They are in sympathy with you now more than they ever were, and they are waiting lor the moment when the hammer stroke shall shatter the last chain ot your earth bondage and your soul 3hall spring upward, and j they will stand on the heights of heaven and see you come, ana when : you are within hailing distance your ! other friends will be called out, and as you flash through the pearl hung gate their shoots will sake the bilk tremble, <4H:iil, ransomed spirit, to the city of the blessed." I console you still further with the idea of a resurrection. I know there are a great riany people who do not accept this because they cannot under stand it; but,' my friends, there are two stout jtassaggs ? I cotdd bring a hundred, but two swarthy jiassages are enough ? and one David will strike d?wn the largest Goliath. "Marvel not at this, ?>r the hour is coming when all who are in their graves shall come iorth." The other swarthy passage is this: "The Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout, and the voice of the archorigelT and the trump of God, and the dead i ?'"Christ shall rise first." Oh, there will be such a thing as a resurrection. RFOBLEM8 OF THE RESURRECTION. You ask me a great many questions ! cannot answer abou?$his resurrection. You say, for instance, "ff a man's body is constantly changing, and every seventh year he has an entirely new body, and he lives on to 70 years of age and so has had Indifferent bodies, and at the hour of hiVdeath there is not a particle of Hesh on him that was there in the days of his childhood ? in the resurrection which of the 10 bodies will come up, or will they all rise?" You say, Suppose a man dies, and his body is scattered in the dust, and out of that dust veratables grow, and men eat the veget^Res, and cannibals slay these men and eat them, aod cawubals fight with cannibals until at last there shall be 100 men who shall have within them some particles that started from the dead body first named, coming up through the vegetable through the first man who ate it, and through the cannibals who afterward ate him, and there be more than 100 men who have rights in the particles of that body ? in the resur rection how can they be assorted when these particles belong to them all?" ' . * U J You say, "There is a missionary buried in greenwood, and when he was in China h^ had his arm amputated ? in the resurrection will ; that fragment of the body fly 16,000 j miles to join the rest of the body?" - You say, "Will it not be a very I difficult thing tor a spirit coming back m that day to find the myriad | particles of its own body when they may ha\e been scattered by the winds or overlaid by whole generations of the dead? looking for the myriad particles of its own body, while there are a thousand million other spirits doing the same thing, and all the assortment to be made withiirpne day?" You say, "If a hundred and fiay men go into a place of evening enter- 1 tainment and leave their hats and overcoats in the hall, when they come back it is almost impossible for them to get the right ones, or to get them without a great deal cf perplexity, and yet you tell roe that myriads of spirits in the last day will come and find myriads of bodies." Have you any more questions to ask, any more difficulties to suggest, any more mysteries? Bring them on! Against a whole regiment of skepticism I 'nU - march these two champions: Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves shall eome forth." "The Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout, and the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first" You see I stick to these two passages. - Who art thou, O fool, that thou rephest against God? Hath he promised, and shall he not do it? Hath he commanded, and shall he not bring it to pass? Have you not confidence in his omnipo tence? If he could in the first place build my body, alter it torn down can he not build it again? 3 'Oh, you say, "I would believe that if you would explain it. I am not disposed to be skeptical, but ex plain how it can be done." My brother, you believe a great many thing you cannot explain. - You be lieve jour mind acts on your body. Explain the process. This seed planted comes up a blue flower. Another seed planted comes np a yel low flower. Another ^seed planted comes up a white flower. Why? Why that wart on your finger? Tell me way some cows have horns and other cows have no horns. Why, when two obstacles strike each other in the air, do you hear the percussion? What is the subtle energy that dissolves a solid in a crucible? What makes the notches od an oak leaf different from any other kind of leaf? What makes the orange blossom different from i hat of the rose? How ran almightiness which rides on the circle of the heaven find room to turn its chariot on a heliotrope? Explain these. Can you not do it? Then I will not explain the resurrection. \ou explain one- half of the common mysteries of everyday life, and I will explain all the mysteries of the resur rection. \ou .cannot answer me very plain questions in rega;-d to ordi nary affairs. I am not ashamed to say that I cannot explain God and the judgment and the resurrection. I simply accept them as facts, tremen dous and infinite. 8ILENOE OP THE TOMB. Before the resurrection takes place, everything will be silent. The maus oleums and the labyrinths si lent, The graveyards silent, the cemetery silent, save from the clashing of hocfs and the grinding of wheels as the last fu neral procession comes in. No breath of air disturbing the ^ust where Perse polis stood, and Thebes, and Babylon. No winking of the eyelids long closed in darkness. No stirring of the feet that once bounded the hillside. No opening of be hand that once plucked the flower out of the.edge of the wild wood. No clutching of swords by the men who went down when Persia bat tled an d Rome felL Silence from ocean beach to mountain cliff and from river tnIIV tu 7b.e the same old tune. The lakes hushed to sleep in the bosom of the same great hills. No hand disturbing the gate of the long barred sepulcher. All tbe nations of the dead motionless in their winding sheets. I p the side of the hills, down tnrough the trough of the vai levsk far out in the caverns, across the belds,deep down into the coral palaces or the ocean depths where leviathan sports with his fellows- ? everwyhere, layer above layer, height afcove height, depth below depth? dead! dead' de ad! Bat in the twinkling of an eye, as quick as that, as the archaLgel's trum pet comes pealing, rolling, reverberat- j ing, crashing across continents and I seas, the earth will give one feafulshud- j der, and the door of the family vault, without being unlocked, will burst open,aud all the graves of the dead will begin to throb awl heave like the sea, and maasleum of princes will fall in the d ust^and Ostend aud Sebastopol ami Auaterlitz and Gettysburg stalk forth in -the lurid air, and the shipwrecked rise from the deep, their wet locks looming above the billow, and all the land and all the sea become one mov ing mass of life ? all generations, all ages with upturned countenances ? some kindled with rapture and others blanched with despair, gaxing in one direction, upon one object, aud that the throne of resurrection! ? On that day you will get back your Christain dead. There is where the comfort comes in. They will come up with the same hand, the same foot, aud the same eutire body, but with a per fect foot, and a perfect body ? cor ruption having become in corruption, mortality having become iuiortality. And oh, the reunion! oh! the embrace after so long an absence! Comfort one another with these words. While I present these thoughts this morning, does it sot seem that heaven comes very near to us, as though our friends, whom we" thought a great way off, are not in the distauce, but close by? You have sometimes come down to a river at nightfall, and you have beeo surprised how easily you could hear voices across that river. You shouted over to the other side of the river, and they 'shouted back. It is said that when George Whitfield preached in Third street, Philadelphia, one evening time his voice was heard clear acrosi to the New Jersy shore. When I was a little while chaplain in the army,I remember how at eventide we could easily hear the voices of the pickets across the Potomac just when they were using ordinary tones. And as we come today and stand by the river of Jordan that divjdes us irom our friends who are gone it seems to me we stand on one bank and they stand on the other and it is only a narrow stream, and our voices go, and their voices come. Hark! Hush! I hear distinctly what they say, "These are they who came out of great tribu lation and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." Still the voice comes across the water, and I hear, "We hunger no more; we thirst no more; neither shall the sun light on us, nor any heat, for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne leads us to living fountains of water, and God wipeth away all tears from our eyes? 'y ^/eather crop bulletin. Showing the Condition of the Crop* In South Carolina. The following is the weekly bulle tin of the State weather service issued by Director J. H. Harmon Tuesday: Rains of the first part of the week washed lands in many places and al lowed grass to gain considerable foot hold, brought out cut worms a?d lice, which did some little damage to cot ton. Plowing has - heen taken tfp since the hoi weather dried up the ground, and all crops are booming. Labor is generally plentiful, except in some few counties. Fruit is doing well, except peaches. Rain is now needed in Williamsburg, Darlington, Colleton, Sumter and, Kershaw coun ties. * PIEDMONT REGION. Cotton is beiDg brought out very fast by the present bot weather, which has check e< I lice and stopped cut worms. While grass has gained a fair start, the land is now dry and no damage is now aprehended. Wheat is being harvested in all the counties, and is generally rented the best in years, is of a bright golden color, with long heads well fitted. Labor is scarce and in demand in Greenville county. The weather has been too wet for peaches, which are rotting on the trees. Oats are being cut and peas put in. Gardens are fine. Lice are troubling cotton to some ex tent . | MIDDLE BELT. ? Barnwell county reports 500 acres of watermelons looking splendid. Stock in Aiken county shows an in crease in quantity and quality of 160 percent over last year and claims are made that less cotton will be planted next year by 60 per cent' than for many years, and farmers are warned not to let any appreciation in price this winter influence them in their price determination to decrease the acreage. Labor is plentiful, com fertilized is growing fast ? grass had made great headway and a!l crops need plowing. Farm work is baok, but being pushed rapidly. Irish potatoes are rotting in some counties. Peaches not good, but 4>lums good and ripening fast. Berry crop will be large. Peas are being cast in hills and sown broadcast in stubble. Oats are about all cut. Cot ton is abont ten days late. Some little damage is reported from lice. Cotton planted the last of March will be open ing next week. 4 COAST REGION. The heavy rains which occurred on the immediate coast have thrown all work back, but did no other damage. Rain is begining to be needed back from the coast The outlook is ex tremely encouraging; labor is abun dant and farmers well up with their work. Corn potatoes and peas are do Tng fine. Many of the stubble fields are being planted in corn. Oats and wheat are about harvested. Heavy shipments of fruits and vegetables to the Northern markets continue. Cot ton has begun to flower. Rice is look ing well; June planting of rice is about- completed. Repeal the Shdrman Law. Nf.w York June 12. ?

One by one the sources of our future wealth and greatness are disclosed, aod in recent years these discoveries are being made with gratifying rapid cotton, she can bid defiauce to the Jard kings of the West, and now with her palm branches she proposes to rout the mighty leather Trust, horse, foot and dragoon. The following edi torial on this topic from The State is not only good news, but furnishes food for many a pleasant thought: It muft be manifest to the intelli gent that the people of the South are just beginning to realize the almost limitless resources of the country in which they live. Her fields, her forests, the beds of her streams, teem : with mater^P^psibilities. If a man "fiad predicted j ten years ; ago that the then neglected cotton seed would in this year of grace be. worth more per 100 pounds thau prime | white corn, he would have been re garded as a hopeless visionary; and ! yet thousands of Sou J hern farmers have recently realized this golden truth. In addition to the manifold uses to which this splendid product is put, a Savannah comj>auy has been for some time engaged in making a su|>erior quality of rubber ifcptn cotton seed oil, six cents worth of the raw material l>eing converted by a secret chemical process into a dollar's worth of rubber. But the cotton plant is a product of civilization and cultivation ? planted, fertilised and cared for by the hand of mao. * Out in the woods, over 10,(JtK).0tH) acres of Southern swamp and knoll, spread the fan-like leaves of the saw palmetto ? mbul scrralata ? the low liest of God's palms. In dark feus, where the copperhead drags his slimy length over the sodden earth; iu dismal gwamps, where the gra? moss shrouds the grayer trunks and the wierd notes of the owl echo through the aisles; on knolls of higher ground, where the deer feed upon the briar buds and the I furtive fox picks his wary way ? here | the saw palmetto sinks its tough, bulbous roots deep into the soil, taking such hold upon its mother earth that only wih pick and mattock cau it be uptorn. Picturesque as was this forest growth and sweet as was the rustle of its leaves as the wind crept through them there wai until recently no practical use to which either the leaves or stems were put. A few years ago, however, it was discovered that the "entire plant contained tannin, which could l>e extracted in large quantities by a very simple process. It is understood that this process has beeen )>atented and is l>eing utilized by a tannery in Savannah, which claims to be able, by the use of the saw palmetto leaves to convert hides into leather at a cost of one cent a pound. As it takes 10 cents worth of oak or hemlock bark to tan a pound of leather, the value of this discovery cannot be over-estimated. As the Leather Trust, with a capital of a hundred millions, and controlling threefourths of the bark lands of the country, had the smaller tanners almost at its mercy, the discovery of this limitless source of raw material will prove a blessing to the manufacturer and the consumer alike. ^ 'Che refuse which remains after the tannin has been extracted is a mass of fibrous material capable of being put I to a variety of practical uses. | The fibre of the leaves is admirably adapted for mattress stuffing and up holstering and willdoubtlesseventually supplant jute for cotton bagging, as it is strong, non inflammable and does not stain. The leaf stems too, contain a long fibre of great strength which could be utilized for the manufacture of binder twine and rope. The stem fibre is now used extensively for plastering purposes instead of hair; as it\is not affected by quicklime, mortar mixed with this material does not crack. In the medical world, too, the saw palmetto has its uses. During the past winter the woods of Florida were scoured by parties in search of its berries which were sold in Jackson ville at six dollars a hundred pounds, whence they were shipped to a Western firm of manufacturing pharmacists to be converted into an extract of great value in nervous di seases. And so, this lowly and long despised plant renewing its leaves annually, thriving in sunshine and in shade, flourishing like a bay tree in the wilderness, uncultivated save by the delving snouts of the wild swine, fertilized only by the brown leaves that nestle down in the dying days of the year, may yet became a |>otent factor in the development of this l>e loved Southland. S THE LAW AS TO SHIPMENTS Of Liquor* ? Opinions of Attorney General Townsend. Attorney General Townsend has been asked as to the law of manfacturiug and shipping liquors in the St-ate and has rendered the folowing opinion. In answering the inquiry contained in your recent letter, I beg to say that the dispeusary law dose-not prohibit par ties from making any kind of liquors ; which they may desire to make on their ! own stills or on shares, provided they either consume it at home or sell it to j the State Commissioners alone, or to persons outside the "State: and provid ed further, that when sold and shipped ; to persons outside the State the pack must bear the certificate of the j State Commissioner. Yours very truly, D. A, Townsend, Attornery General. Attorney General Townsend says that it is his opinion that manufac- ? turers will not be allowed to get a aapply of shipment certificates or per mits and use them as occasion may require, but when an order is received by a manufacturer he will have to notify the State Commissioner of the j number of packages sold and to whom ! sold. The Commissioner will then forward the manufacturer the re quired number of certificates for the shipment The board has made no j rule on this particular point and j may arrange matters so as to avoid a Kreat deal of trouble and delay. ? j Register. THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN LIZZIE BORDEN AND HER SISTER EMMA. The Matxmi of the Priaou Tell* What She Heard Whilst KaveMtroppiug 111 a ? SenMUtioiml Testimony New Bedford, Mass., June 14.? In the Borden trial Unlay the first wituess was City Marshal Ililliard of Fall River, who described his visits to the Bordeu house and conversation with the prisoner in which she was told that she w&s suspected of the crime. The witness was cross-exam iued by ex Governor Robinson, who attempted to show that lUlliard was not obstruct ed in his search of -the premises and that the search of the tooiu was thorough. Hilliard swore that the search of the Borden house was thor ough and. that the defendant gave all the articles he a>ked for, and spoke earnestly and frankly in conversation about the suspicion of her. Mayor John Caughlin, of Fall River, described a visit to the Borden house with Hilliard, ami corroborated the marshal's testimony as to the con I versatiou with the defendant. The court excluded the evidence as to the demonstration against Morse, offered by the government to show that the jK>lice later surrounded the house in good faith for protection, and not for surveillance. Mrs Giffbrd, a dress maker, testified that the prisoner told her that Mrs Borden was a mean, hateful old thing; [ that she hated her, and never ate with her when she could help it. The pris oner's color rose as this testimony was given, The government .^offered to show that the prisoner said, in November, 1N90, that her home was unhappy. This was excluded, on the ground that it did not necessarily refer to the Mur dered persons. ] Five or six witnesses testified to be ing in within sight of the Btjrtien yard on the morning of the jnarder, and saw no person leave the yanVhM ttpon cross examination, it appeared" , that men plight have left the yard without being seen. ( Haunaii Reagan, matron at the po lice station, Fall River, testified. I)e> fining her duties, witness said the pris oner was in her charge. At one time she was in my room, she said. On the 24th of August Emma came to see her in the morning. 1 was in the room, cleaning up. Emma came at 8:40. She spoke with her sister, and I went into the toilet room, and hearing loud talk looked out and saw Lizzie lying on her side and Emma bending over her. Lizziesaid: "You have given me away, Emma, but I don't care; I won't give in one inch." Emma said: ''Oh! Lizzie, I didn't," at the same time sitting down. They sat there until nearly 1 1 o'clock when Mr. Jennings came hack. Lizzie made no talk at all with her sister after; never opened her mouth to her When I first heard the noise* of loud talking I was about four feet away, in the closet. When Emma left that morning there was nothing said by either, and no "good-bye" was ex changed. [Decided sensation.] Cross-examined by Mr. Jennings: Emma remained there in that room until you came, and when you came you said to Emma, "Have you told her all?" aud Emma said she had told her all she had to tell. Emma came again in the afternoon, but I can't tell just when Mr. BucV was there. I am quite sure he came every day. There was a paper drawn up subsequently In relation to this story; it was brought to me by Mr. Buck. [Statement read, in which it was set forth that there had not been a quarrel between the sisters, and that she had never said so.] Witness said she never expressed a willingness to sign the paper. Eli Bence, a drug clerk, of Fall River, was sworn, but the defense objected to his testimony being admitted. It was intended to prove by him that Lizzie Borden tried to purchase prussic acid the day before the murder, saying she wanted to clean a sealskin saeque; also that article is never used for such pur|K>se. After a ? long argument the justices consulted half an hour, and then decided to admit the drug clerk's testimony.
