THE BORDEN CASE No Conclusion Reached by the Grand Jury Last Night
Taunton, Mass., Dec. 1 - The grand jury resumed its session this morning and began the examination of more witnesses in the BORDEN case. Detective McHENRY and wife, were mixed up with the sensational publication a few weeks since, are among the witnesses to testify. District Attorney KNOWLTON stated this morning that the last insanity story was all bosh. The grand jury called for the blood spattered pillow shams and linen taken from the room where Mrs. BORDEN was slain, and these, with the two skulls of the victims, were once more submitted to inspection in the jury room. Mrs. PECKHAM and Mrs. HALL of the Fall River were two witnesses before the grand jury to-day. It is intimated that their testimony was in the line of new evidence obtained during the recent recess.
At 11:15 A. M. the evidence was in and the grand jury took the case with the probability of a report this afternoon. Taunton, Mass., Dec. 1 - The grand jury adjourned at 5:30 P. M., until 9:30 A. M. to-morrow. It has been learned that no vote was taken on the matter in hand to-day. The afternoon was occupied in going carefully over the evidence, and the district-attorney was called before the jury twice to clear up matters which seemed doubtful. Rev. Mr. JUBB was in attendance all the afternoon, but was obliged to go home without carrying any news to Miss BORDEN.

LOST HIS MONEY
And, On General Principles, Accused His Sister-in-Law of TheftAlthough they have been related for over fifteen years HUBER had never met his sister-in-law and when they did meet yesterday it was a case of mutual admiration.
Mr. SNYDER is the proprietor of a meat market on State street and was not at home during the day. Mr. HUBER said that he thought his new sister-in-law was a very amiable lady and that while his wife was in another room he and Mrs. SNYDER indulged in the little harmless pastime of hugging and kissing. Later in the evening Mr. HUBER, who had drawn $82 from the Central Bank before his visit, suddenly thought of it and discovered that it was gone. Then came the accusation and later the arrest. When brought to the station Mrs. SNYDER was weeping and was under the influence of liquor. She said that she did not have to steal as she had enough money. When she was searched $315 were found on her. She also denied having figured in the love-making episode, but Mr. HUBER declared up and down that it took place as he described it. He also was intoxicated. He couldn't say positively that he saw Mrs. SNYDER rob him, but he knows the money is gone and so accuses her of stealing it. He offered to settle the affair for $100, but the SNYDERS naturally didn't see it that way. HUBER's wife says that she thinks he is a little off at times and takes no stock whatever in the story. As she was not taking any part in the controversy she was not brought to the station. Mr. SNYDER was the only one of the trio who was sober. He appears to be a very honest old gentleman and he also is willing to swear that his wife did not wrong any one. He has $41.94 in his purse and HUBER had $10.53, which he claims is the price he received for his ducks.

A CALIFORNIA GOLD MINE.
Rochester Parties Who Have a Paying Investment.
Homer H. REICHENBACH of the Rochester German Mining and
Milling Company has returned from California, where he has made a thorough
examination of the property of the company. For four months he worked in the
mine as a laborer. The mine is located on the South Yuba river in Nevada county
and is controlled by Rochester people. They feel confident that they have made a
strike which will yield big returns. A small mill is now in operation and as
soon as the roads will permit a ten stamp of twenty-five tons capacity will be
set up. The ore now taken out pays about $15 dollars per ton net which is $5
more than was expected.
The mine came into Rochester hands through a former
resident of California who was instrumental in securing the title. A piece of
quartz from this mine has been selected by the World's Fair Commissioner of
California for exhibition as the best specimen from the Washington district.

Ex-Alderman Francis Newman SKUSE, an old and respected
citizen of this city, died at his home, No. 41 Ontario street last evening at
half-past 8 o'clock of heart failure.
Mr. SKUSE was born in County Cork, Ireland on November
8, 1817 and came to America in his early boyhood. He spent several years
in Montreal working at the cooperage trade.
When the construction of the Weiland canal was begun,
Mr. SKUSE secured a position on that work and subsequently became section forman,
continuing in this position until the canal was completed.
Mr. SKUSE came to Rochester in 1843 and settled on
Davis street, which was then well out in the suburbs. He engaged in the
milling business for several years, but in 1846 opened a cooperage establishment
which he carried on up to the time of his death.
He was elected alderman of the old Fourteenth ward in
1871 by the Republican party and was redeemed? in 1876. Mr. SKUSE was for
many years a member of the board of directors of the Western New York
Institution for Deaf Mutes and held many other responsible positions.
He was married in 1845 to Miss Mary CONANT, who died
five years ago. Mr. SKUSE is survived by eight children: Charles J.
of Washington, D.C., and Mrs. John GOSNELL, James, John, Frank, William, Richard
and Thomas of this city.
The deceased was one of the founders of the North
Avenue Methodist Church, and had always manifested a lively interest and taken
an active part in Christian work. The funeral will be held Wednesday
afternoon from the home at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. George W. PECK officiating. psm
