Says Us Killed III. .Mother to Concent Ac cidental Shooting. Philadelphia, Sept. 14. Ell Shaw, twice tried by the Camden county court, New Jersey, for the murder of his mother and grandmother aud finally acquitted thereof, confessed to the crime yesterday afternoon after being confronted with tho evidenco of his guilt by two members of the staff of The Philadelphia Times William II, Hay aud Howard K. Sloan. For days the movements of Elt Shaw have been carefully watched. His associates dur ing that time have been questioned; old friends with whom be at one time was in timately connected were sounded aud the meshes of circumstantial and deductive evi dence wero drawn closer and closer around the central figure. After the accumulation of evidence which allowed of no loophole of escape It was decided to present it in its en tirety to Ell Shaw, This was done without delay. The reporters referred to met Shaw on a Cnmdeu street yesterday afternoon. A desultory talk oo current topics followed for a few moments, which was switched upon a matter always of Interest to him his feminine acquaintances. "Did you murder thoso women, Ell?" came tho question, The man hesitated. "No no Yes I I killed them. But you can't touch mo you can't touch me," ho cried, boastfully. uui you can tace a ciiarge ot perjury," re turned the reporter. The effect of this remark was Instantane ous. Shaw's eyes blazed. He turned with an angry snarl. His right hand orcpt back to his pocket. "None of that, 8haw I" exclaimed one of his accusers, striking down his arm. auaw swinging quicmy on his heel, ran across the street, climbed over the high fence of the West Jersey depot and boarded moving train. According to the evidence now in hand Shaw has confessed that he caused the deaths of Mrs. Emma Zane, his grandmother, and one Sara H. Shaw, his mother, by Bhooting them with a revolver on the night of October 12, 1807, at their home, 242 Lino street, Camden, and that J. Clifton Darnell waB present in the house at the said time. The story now told of the double crime is that on the night In question, Shaw returned lo the ano home alter spending his money in a house frequented by fast men and women. Shaw's mother was in bed. His grandmother was sitting in her room. J. Clifton Darnell, a relative, had been left waiting in the ball, when Shaw wont In the room and demanded monoy of his grand mother, who refused to give it to him. Shaw, desperate at his grandmothei's re fusal to supply tbo money to continue his spree, became exasperated and drew his re volver. It was cocked, and loaded. He flourished. It in her face. The weapon ex ploded and sent a bullet orashlng Into her brain close to the temple. She fell back in her chair gasping, dying. Shaw stood horror struck. In a moment his mother, clad in her night robe, appeared in tho doorway roused from her sleep by the report. Tho boy told her tbat he had Injured the old womon ac cidentally. His mother did not then know the seriousness of tho wound. Running Into the front room she opened the bureau drawer and seized a roll of linen strips, intending to use tnem to staunch tbo blood fast runn ne down her mother's face. Meaa while Shaw had discovered the seriousness of the accident. He feared arrest. Then, too. he was in a desperate plight because of other entangle ments He needed money. His mother must be silenced. He looked at tho revolver in his hand and at the doorway. Then he stolo into the darkness of the next room. where he knew the only witness stood bend ing over the bureau drawer. A second shot sounded. His mother fell forward on her face dead. Darnell, who had meanwhile gone to bed In Shaw's room on the third floor, ran down stairs upon hearing the second pistol report and hurried Shaw out of the bouse upon receiving his explanation of what had happened. Although a chain of evidence without a missing link exists against Shaw, he is a free man under the constitution, which provides tbat a person 'shall not be put in jeopardy of life or limb twice for the same offense," but he can be put on trial for perjury, and the New Jersey authorities will take steps in this direction.

Philadelphia, Spt. 11. The opening of the National ISxport exposition In this city today, under the auaplcm of the Philadelphia Museum and the Franklin Institute, proved to be a no table and Inspiring occasion. It is the first national exposition of the manufacturers of the United States for the advancement of American man ufacture and the extension ot export trade. Tho opening exercises were held In the magnificent Auditorium, which forms a part of the main building of the exposition. This Auditorium has a seating capacity of nearly 6,000, but It was all too small for the accommo dation of the numerous crowds which gathered to witness the opening cere monies. Snutolman's great Murine band of 72 pieces, In the full glory of their gor geous gold aud red, wero conspicuously placed upon a temporary band stand erected below the main stage, which upon this occasion was occupied by the officials and distinguished invited guests of the day. The chorus of COO trained singers which Profosaor A. H. Hosewlg has been coaching for the occasion, with the assistance of Professor James Hol den, ocoupled a conspicuous place on on extension of the band stand facing the audience In full and fair view. Santelman and his band had the honor to do the first thing In connec tion with the opening of the exposi tion. As he appeared, stick In hand, he was received with vociferous ap plause, which was almost Immediately drowned by tho opening strains of the "Jubel Overturn." While this number was being performed the audience had an opportunity to pick out the distin guished guests upon the platform. There were representatives of the high est ranks of trade, politics and art, from all parts of the country, and many representatives from the great nations ot tho world. Tho Marine band's overture was followed by prayer and then Professor Kosewlg's mighty chorus hurst Into the patriotic melody of "America In which the audience with difficulty refrained from joining. Mr. W. W. Foulkrod. first vice nresl- dent of the exposition association, opened the exposition In an nddress explaining Its scope and referring to the expected Importance of Us results. Hi said that the success of the exposi tion so far and its assured success in the future had needed not onlv th generous co-operation of the business community of Philadelphia, but the aid ana ample assistance of the commer cial enterprise of the whole country, both of which it had received. Ho then formally, on behalf of the exposition management, turned the enterprise over to the governor of the -state of Pennsylvania. After a selection from "Tho tion," "The Heavens Are Telling." by Professor Itosewlg's singers. Director General w. T. Wilson, of the exposi tion, gave tin interesting account of the enterprise, its conception, its plans, Its purposes and Its possibilities, show- ng the immense advantaees of such nn exhibit to American trade and Ameri can exports. The Marino band ren dered Sousa's "Liberty Bell March," at the conclusion of which Governor Stone accepted the exposition on behalf of the commonwealth, and turned it over to tho mayor of the city. The governor in his address dwelt upon the ruci mar. mis n not ti sectional enter prise, npt an exhibition of the city and for ine city, or for the state merely not of the north or of the south, nor of the east or the west of the country, but It represents in a peculiar way tho material trade and commercial inter ests of tho whole country.
