EOPiDII First Session of the 52d Congress Closed. Chapter Added to Our History. W. D. Bynum Says of II That Tis Well.

Record of House Will Grow in Favor. Ex-Speaker, Reed Reviews the Work of Congress. Lets Loose a Torrent of Sharp Criticism. Says ci the Democracy That It Has Signally Failei Congress has adjourned. The end of tbe first session of tho 62d Congress came at IX oclock last sight.

A new chapter to the congressional history ot the country is thus closed, and appended are the opinions of two repro entative congressmen, Hon, William Bynum, Democrat, of Indiana, and ex Speaker Thomas B. Reed. Republican, Maine, as to the work of the House. In their survey and characterization this work they differ widely, Mr. Bynua predicting that the record of tho House ii such that it will grow in favor as it it studied and understood, while Mr.

Reed stamps Failure on the record of tbe Democracy, and launches forth caustio criticism of its course. But the letters speak for themselves BYNUMS STATEMENT. Strong Presentation ot the Policy ant Principles of the Democratic House, To the Editor of The Globe: The record of the first session of the 52? Congress, which ended today, will bf closely canvassed by tb press, tbe politicians aud the peonle from now until the election in November. The Senate being Republican and the House Democratic the two parties, in a measure, will share the credit of whatever legislation proves beneficial, and bear the odium, if any, ot whatever results Injuriously. Tbe measures, however, which have been enacted into laws will not be likely to command very much notice.

Laws which have received tbe indorsement of a Republican Senate and a Democratic Houo lmmed lately preceding a national campaign are not apt to contain mnch that will court opposition. Criticisms upon legislative bodies, as a rnie. are more because ot what they faiied to do than what they did. Theauestion that will enlist the attetv tion and engago the discussion of the peoph is wliat measures ought to have best passed by this Congress, aud what party body ws responsible for their failure. Tbe Democratic House, at the beginn'm of its organization, was confronted wit some embarrassments.

It was overwhelm ingly Democratic a condition not likely contribute to a full attendance, close organ ization aud the speedy transaction of business. A large number were new members of commanding but without legisla tive experience. The Democratic leaders were not a nnl on questions of policy, while the rank an-file of the party in many sections were ex ceedifigly restless nd impatient. Never in the history of the country wer the people so impregnated with the belie that Congress could, bv legislation. Croat and distribute wealth amongst them.

Th large number, to say the least, of Imprar ticable and visionary measures Introduce-into the Iloose and the fienate ia evidenc-of the extent of this heresy and of the fac that many representative and senator prefer to cares it rather than brook oppo ition by adhering to the true principle government in the midst of all these complications the majority was compelled to choose a new leader, its former skilled and able parliamentarian having been sent to tho Senate. The result was a disappointment to some, and led to a reorganization of tha House which did not receive the unanimous indorsement of the party. Notwithstanding all these complications and embarrassments I am confident that the record of tbe House will grow in favor and popularity, a it 1 canvassed in th calm, sober thoughts of the people. Tru to the principles of the party, it has bees conservative and at a)i times considerate or, the sentiment and interest of every sea tion. and this attitude it firmly maintalnes in tbe face of the most vigorous assault and in spite of the most alluring tempt tions.

MAY END THE SUIT.

Plaintiffs in Iron Hall Receivership Cass Make a Proposition to Withdraw the Case from the Courts. Indianapolis, Aug. C. Late this evening the iron Hail litigation took an unexpected turn, which will probably take it ont of court. The executive committee of the order has been in session three days.

It has shown a disposition to stand by Somerby and has been backed up in this by the membership. So strong a showing has been made that this evening the plaintiffs' attorneys in the receivership suit suggested to the committee a proposition to withdraw the suit if the executive committee will submit to an Investigation of the order by one of the planting, one of the committee and one member of the order selected by the other two. This the committee declined, replying that a full showing would he made by the September report, but negotiations are still pending. PRACTICALLY CONFIRMED. Lynn Street Railway Deal Acknowledged President Breed of the Lynn Boston the Alleged Authority.

Lynn, Ang. 5. Hon. Amos F. Breed, president of the Lynn Boston street railway, practically confirms the story of a local street railway deal.

GOBBLE LYNNS RAILROAD. Philadelphia Capitalists Bald to Hava Bought the Etock. Lynn, Aug. 5. It is rumored on the streets and quite generally credited by railroad men, that a syndicate of capitalists are trying to get possession of the Lynn Boston railroad line, the Belt line, and the Naumkeag street railway line.

The syndicate is made ud of Philadelphia capitalists, and it is said that they have already secured a controlling interest in the Belt line. May be Something In It. Salem, Aug. 6. it Is rumored here to-night that the Philadelphia syndicate, of which the present owners of the Naumkeag street railway are members, have secured control of the Lynn Rpston and Belt Line roads, and will operate a continuous electric system from Boston.

Tbe officials of the roads here will not admit; or deny the story, but they intimate there may be something in it. EIGHT MEN MISSING. Sailors from the Edith Emery Lost In the Fog Capt. Suilivan Hopes They will Turn Up. The fishing schooner Edith Emery, Capt.

Patrick Sullivan, arrived at wharf yesterday with colors flying at half-mast for the loss of eight of her crew on Monday last. After the vessel was moored Capt Sullivan reported as follows: On Monday afternoon last wo set our trawls; eight dories, containing 18 men. left the vessels side to worK their fishing gear, when the tide slacked up. "The wind was northeast at the time, and soon they were lost 6ight of a dense log which came up. "Oiy position at the time was southeast from Sangity Head, distance about 35 miles; that would place us in the south channel, through which vessels are continually coming and going.

"Alter a reasonable time some of the dories iegan to come alongside, but hours passed and only four of the eight boats were on deck. "The fog being thick, I had kept tbe born blowing continuously, and a the wind was blowing only a fresh breeze I felt sure they would find the vessel, as the other men had done. "When the fish were dressed down. seeing no signs of my eight men, I began to grow more anxious, but knowing that there was a big fleet of fishermen anchored to leeward. we all thought that the four dories had bunched up and headed for the vessel which was nearest to us when we anchored.

Morning dawned, but look where we might we could see nothing of them. Then nothing remained except to up anchor and cruise among the fleet. "For 43 hours we sailed north and south, east and west, over the fishing grounds, speaking many vessels, not one of the captains of which could give us auy tidings of our shipmates. After a fruitless search of two days we concluded they had been picked up by some passing vessel, but homeward or outward bound we could not say, so the schooner was heaaed towards Boston. We find they have not reached here yet.

Capt. Sullivan and the rest of the crew feel badly about the mishap, but all say tbe men will turd ud all right in a day or two. In the North End. where most of the lost crew resided, the scene is a pitiful one, as many of the men were married and had families. One ot the saddest women of them all 1 Mrs.

Sullivan, the captains wife her son is one ot the missing. This young man was very promising, and was soon to take command of a vessel. Tbe names of those who strayed away on Monday last are: John ullivan, Michael McCarthy, John McDermott. Thomas Jordan, Thomas Cash man, Patrick bheehan and Michael Conners. LIGHTNING STRIKES HOUSES.

Gen. Stevenson Visits Kentucky and is Warmly Received. Louisville, Aug. 6. Gen.

Stevenson and his party were entertained in Frankfort today. The little State capital city was gayly decorated in honor of his coming. At 10.20 the Louisville train bearing the great man came in a row of carriages provided by a committee of citizens, at the bead of whom wa ex-Gov. Knott, waited at the station. There was a crowd of Impatient people there also, and when a tall gentleman in black, with a slouch straw hat shading a good-natured but grave and dignified face, stepped out of the railway coach into a waiting carriage, everybody recognized Gen.

A- Stevenson. Hats went off, and there was a lusty Democratic cheer. The carriage, in the first one of which was Knott and Gen. Stevenson and Messrs. Drohney and Samuel, of the local committee, proceeded down Main on which a big crowd had gathered, and everybody was given a chance to see the future vice-president.

The party went at once to the residence of Mr. Knott, whore Gen. Stevenson and Mr. Ewing rested until the time arrived for their reception by the Legislature. Long before 12 oclock the lobbies and gallery of the House chamber were crowed to overflowing.

The lobby crowd was composed mostly of ladies, among whom was the Governors family. Just before 12.30 the senators came over and were seated on the floor of the House. Promptly at 12.30 Gen. Stevenson entered, arm in arm with Judge William Lindsay; other members of the committee followed. There was an enthusiastic cheer as the party entered.

Judge Lindsay presented the distinguished visitor to President Alford, who occupied the chair, to the two houses of the General Assembly and the citizens assembled. as Gen. Adlal E. Stevenson, a native of Kentucky. Mr.

Alford responded in well chosen words and then introduced Gen. Stevenson, who addressed the audience. His speech was a non-political one. It dealt maiuly with his relations to Kentucky and Kentuckians, and the close kinship of Kentucky and Illinois. It was delivered in a pleasant conversational tone, with little attempt at oratory and in the spirit of one who was talking to friends and dealing in reminiscences.

The talk was brief, but was much enjoyed and put the crowd into excellent humor. At the conclusion of the remarks Mr. Alford informed the crowd that Gen. Stevenson would receive the members of the Assembly. the State officers and the public at the residence Judge Lindsay this evening from 8 toll.

The joint session was then adjourned, and everyone was then invited to come around and shake hands with Gen. Stevenson. Gen. and Mrs. Stevenson will return to Louisville tomorrow morning, and be given a reception tomoreow night at the home ot Maj.

Excited Crowds Follow Morses Steps. Hiilt Closes to with Mystery as Black as Ever. Fall River, Aug 6. The second day of the great Borden murder mystery has ended with no developments in the direction of the crime's solution. There Is no evidence in tbe possession of the government that warrants the arrest of auy one on charges of murder.

This is not because the police have been lacking in vigilance. On the contrary the department has been handled In a highly commendable manner by Marshal Hilliard, who hsi taken every percautlon and made every investigation that circumstances seemed to rant. Tbe Globe of this city today published an article that was sent out by the Associated Press, and which is to the following effect: On the evening of Thursday, after the murder, information was received by the department that a druggist on Main st. had an jnteresting story to tell. Officers Harrington and Doherty were as signed to investigate, and they succeeded in t'euing an interview with Mr.

Eli Pence, a clerk in D. K. Smiths drug store, at the corner of Main and Columbia sts. Front what was published in the Globe this afternoon and what has been gathered since. It appears that on the afternoon of Wednesday last, the day before the murder, a young woman entered Smiths store and inquired about a poison.

She said she wanted to use it in the household, and finally purchased 10 cents worth of what is said to have been hydrocyanic acid, more commonly Known as Prnssio Acid. The liquid was placed in a bottle and given to her. Mr. Pence said he could undoubtedly identify the woman if he saw her again, which he had the opportunity to do. By the arrangement of the marshal lie was brought into Miss Lizzie's presence that night.

He afterwards stated that she and the woman to whom he had sold the poison were, in his opinion, one and the same. Tills result was of no value in the matter of solving the murder mystery, a fact that the marshal realized. He appreciated the fact that the purchase of some kind of poison by women for use houses was not at all unusual or irregular. There would have been, it is said, no weight whatever placed on the discovery by anybody in authority if it had not been for reports previously circulated that emanated from Dr. Bowen, the deceaseds physician.

To ascertain from first hands the details of that report and its authenticity, the writer called upon Dr. Bowon at his home this afternoon. He said: The foundation for the story that Mrs. Borden thought herself poisoned is this: "On Wednesday morning last, about 9 oclock. Mrs.

Borden came across the shed, and entering our house, commenced conversation with my wife. "Sue said: I am afraid my husband and I were poisoned last night. We ate sapper as usual, and bad nothing out of the ordinary ou tbe table. About 9 oclock we were both taken sick with terriDle fits of vomiting and pains in the stomach. We finally got easier, and so Did Not Send tor the Doetol in the night.

I thought, however. I would come over and see him this morning. "Therewith she came into my presence, and I asked her in a general way her symptoms. 1 could not gather from her statements anr particular opinion as to the cause of the illness, but at this time in the year such troubles are not infrequent, a condition due to many causes. "A little later in the forenoon I went over to see Mr.

Borden. "I found him reclining on tbe sofa, in the sitting-room. "1 asked him bow he was, and if he thought anything had poisoned him. "He laughed and said lie guessed there was not very much the matter with him. "We sat talking some littie time and then I went ont.

That was the last time I talked with him. That is the whole basis for the talk of poison, continued Dr. Bowen, and. personally. 1 do not take any stock in tbe theory.

"Tnat is, 1 see nothing, thus far, sufficiently strong to indicate it. It is a very serious matter to make reflections and insinuations against a woman of unstained character as some of tbe papers are doing 111 their reports of this ca as they relate to Lizzie Borden. continued the doctor. "I have known her for many years, and have seen her several times since the tragedy. 1 believe her absolutely innocent of even a guilty knowledge of the crime.

will not say there may not have been occasional family differences between Mr. Borden and the girls. "That is a matter I was in a position to know little about, but so far as I ever observed the inter-lamiiy relations were cordial. "There are two reasons why I believe Uui, Omcht St Even SaapwMS, or her position in the case questioned. S1IS3 LIZZIE "First, she had no motive, and secondly, her character is above reproach.

"She has always been a person of undisputed virtue and Christian living. "But if these reasons are not enough let me add another, greater than the rest. "I do not believe a hardened man of the world, much less a gentle and refined woman, in her sober senses, devoid of-sudden passion, could strike such a blow with such a weapon as was used on Mr. Borden and linger to survey the bloody deed. I am a surgeon, and have been in active practice for years, and the tint view of the old mans body staggered me.

"I could not inflict upon a dead dog the additional IX blows that with manifest precision and care were driven into the victims head. "I believe no human being in sane mind could perpetrate such a terrible work and then duplicate it on the floor above, taking a defenceless old woman as a victim. AS MR. BORDENS "For this particular reason I do not believe it is right to insinuate a word against S0good a woman as Miss Lizzie. "She possesses our familys confluence, and we believe in her.

"Nevertheless, as a citizen who realizes the demand and need of law, I want the mystery fully cleared up and the guilty party punished. The writer next called upon Marshal Hilliard, who is an officer of long experience and great efficiency. In company with State Detective George Seaver of Taunton he was busily engaged in following the case. He said: "I doubt If the criminal records of the State of Massachusetts in the past 50 years show a case of murder so extraordinary in some respects as this. "There is very little I can say at present for publication.

I may add There Is Very Little I can do at present. "This is a case requiring the most careful treatment and a positive absence of mistakes. AS MBA BOEDEXS There are some peculiar circumstances to encounter when one considers the motive and identity of the murderers. "In the first place the Borden family is respected and looked up to by everybody in Fail Rrier. No one ever had the slightest reason to speak disparagingly of the daughters.

They are well educated women, who lived quiet, intellectual lives in refined social atmosphere. Both are well balanced mentally. "Suddenly a murder occurs, Both father and mother are found horribly butchered. One ot the daughters admits she was the last person who saw her father alive. "She was within a few feet of the boose, and the servant girl was in the house when the bloody deed was enacted.

"They did not hear any disturbance pr trouble. "When they did discover the tragedy they spread the re port and the authorities were noti tied. Now, then, what is there in such a series of circumstances to warrant the newspapers reflecting in any way on the daughter or the servant girl? Nothing that is material. "Our investigations are necessarily thorough and exhaustive. We look into every phase of the case and view it from every side.

If it is developed that the appearance of the house does not indicate the presence of an intruder, or that a disturbance took piaoe; if there are other facts, likewise BODY WAS FOUND. mysterious, yet to be formulated and sifted down before a substantial opinion can be formed by the prosecuting officers, it seems to me strange that the newspapers are beginning to express opinions indicative of one particular persons guilt. "You can say for me There is No One Suspected by the police as yet. Ilis Honor John W. Coughlin, mayor of Fall River, who isby profession a physician told an interesting story to the writer of his first visit to the Borden house after the tragedy.

He said: It was less than 40 minutes after the announcement of the tragedy that I entered the Borden house. I took pains to observe carofullv all that I saw. "I was present also and assisted at the autopsy. From both calls I acquired much information. "In solving a mysterious murder of this kind the circumstances attending the discovery are of the utmost value.

"I was first impressed with the position in BODY WAS FOUND. which Sir. Borden" body lav. "It was evident he was asleep when struck. "The head as exposed afforded the murderer a comparatively smAll mark.

looked at the mangled head wondered at the precision of the hand that had inflicted the 12 gashes with so little variance from tbe first mark. Any man who occasionally handles an axe knows bow difficult it is to hit log several tunes in the same place. Centinned on th Fourth Fag..
