Iiiterettttng IiIhcurhIoii 011 Hoclnl Ihiii l.anl Evening. At the Lyceum last evening a large audience of ladies and gentlemen listened with deep interest to the address deliv ered by Henry 1!. Stevens on "The Perils of Socialism to tnc I'nitcd States." The speaker began Ii... 'discourse by saying that he t'.--' no! know how highly he prized tho Ashcvillc Lyceum, until his absence of four u:ontbs from the city. He was glad to resume his place in the society and thanked them for the honor' they had conferred on him by inviting him to address the society. He then en tered on the discussion of socialism, bv defining his subject and setting forth its evil tendencies on American institutions. He showed that bad imigration from the Old World, bad laws, such as those which employ convict, instead of free labor, had very much to do with the de structive tendency of socialism, as bad, also, the monopolies and bloated mil lionaires of the country. At the close of this speech Prof. II. F. Train of Savannah, responded to a call in a short and scholarly speech. He was followed by Percy Sugden, also of Savannah, who said that the laws in the I'nited States were generally as good and very much the same ns those in lvng laud, his native country, but the quick and sure execution of the laws which they have England, cannot be found in America. This is one reason, he said, lawlessness here is on the inci ease. "Have your good laws promptly executed against crime, and evil doers." said the speaker, "and wrong socialism will dis appear." Major W. H. Maloiic closed with an effective short sjicecli. A FT ICR SOMETHING TO FAT. ThicveH Ilreak In and Steal Ir W. R. Ilrown'a Ktore. When Henry Harbin, the lad who clerks in the grocery store of W. R. Brown, 39 College street, opened the store this morning at 0:30, he noticed the rear door open nnd a pile of burned paper on the floor, evidence of a visit during the night from thieves. An examination ol stock showed that the thieves had gone away heavily laden. Among the missing nrticlcs were three small sacks of Hour, six buckets of lard, three boxes of cigars, twenty-five pounds of sugar, besides packages of spices, cin namon, etc. The thieves g lined entrance by boring through the rear door and bursting out pnrt of n panel, after which n hand was inserted and the door unbolted. There were two of the robbers, a man nnd a boy, as shown by the imprint of their feet 011 the wet ground this morning. The same persons attempted to get into the store of Stradlcy Bros., 37 Col lege, the rear door having been bored through ns 111 the first case, hut the at tempt was abandoned before the door was opened. Harrison Traveling Incog. Nkw Yokk, Aug. 31. President Harri son arrived in this city this morning and left again without more than half a dozen jieople being able to get sight of him.

BORDEN M'l'RDER TRIAL THE FOIMIMMi THF.OKY IIISPROVEP. Mrs. Borden Must Have Itetn Killed Earlier Than It Was At FlrKI Piippotted The TeHllmony of I.tzzle Uorctc-u. Fall Kiver, Aug. 31. Two things were demonstrated by the evidence yes terday in the Horden case. One was that Lizzie was in her step-mother's room at 9:30 and t lint was about tlu time of the murder, and that she was in her father's room about the time of his death. While to the general public the testimony of Prof. Wood was favor able to Lizzie, because it appeared to demonstrate there was no blood stains on her clothes, it was really against her because of his evidence in regard to the time of death. Wood said the contents of Mrs. liorden's stomach showed that they had been undergoing digestion be tween two and three hours. This proved that Mrs. Horden died between 9 and 10 o'clock. The government has already ctablished that Lizzie was in the hall way leading to Mrs. Borden's room at 10:35 o'clock and she has not been able to prove that she was not in the house between 10:15 and 11:15 o'clock, when both murders occurred. The examination of Lizzie Borden at the coroner's ii.quest was put in evi dence. Miss Horden said her father once, about two weeks ago, had trouble with a man she did not know. Lizzie had had some trouble with her step mother about five years ago, but it was trivial. In some wuy her relations with her step-mother was not as between mother and daughter. She thought it was not more than five minutes after her father came in, when she went to the barn, nnd was there twenty minutes. She saiJ she never went into any drug store for prussic acid. She said that about two weeks bclore the tragedy she heard or saw somebody run down the steps and away; she saw something sim ilar about the 'house last winter. This closed the government's case. Prof. Wood's testimony demolished the prussic acid theory and other pois oning theories. Prof. Wood looked for traces of all kinds of common poisons. His failure to find them added much weight to Miss Borden's strong denials that she was ever in Smith's drug store as testified by Bence and others who did not know her personally. All the dis trict attorney hoped t3 prove by Prof. Wood's testimony was that Mrs. Bor den was killed some time before her hus band. HE WAS A DEMOCRAT. I. B. McWhirier Killed by Politi cal Enemies. Fresno, Cal., Aug. 31. Closer in quiry into the circumstances attending the death of L. B. McWhirtcr, the law yer and politician who was murdered in his yard yesterday morning, is be lieved to disprove entirely the story that the shooting was done by;burglnrs. The general conclusion is that unless McWhirter had a deadly private enemy his death was the result of political animosity which he hnd arouberl. Citizens have contributed $10,000 to be paid for the arrest and conviction of the assassin or assassins. If the assassin is captured it is possible an attempt will be made to lynch him.
