INJURED IN A GALE The Defender Forced to Withdraw From a Race. WAS WELL IN THE LEAD. Had the Vigilant Badly Dis tanced When the Acci dent Occurred. y ■ ; FAST TIME IN A HIGH WIND. Many of the Smaller Yachts Had Sails Split and Sheets Car ried Away. NEW LONDON, Coys., July Never had yachtsmen a more glorious day for a cruise than the members of the New York Club enjoyed to-day. There was wind, a-plenty, and had the yachts been a trifle less fleetfooted disaster might have been written in the day's record, for the wind became a Rale shortly after the squadron was safe in New London harbor. As it was, the schooner Montauk got a knock down blow which twisted one of her boats from the davits, and the Defender had her steering gear jammed so that she was obliged to pull out of the race and permit the Vigilant to score one against her. When the Defender quit she was leading the Vigilant by 4 mm. 30 sec, according to an observer in the lighthouse off this har bor. As the Defender started 33 seconds later than the Vigilant, the new boat nad 5 mm. and 3 sec. to her credit, and the sixty-four mile race was practically fin ished. The day's run was from Eatons Point, off Huntington Bay, L. 1., to New London, sixty-four miles as the crow flies. In order that the yachts might complete the run before dark the start was . made at 6:30 a. m. To the surprise of all the veterans the yachts arrived here about half an hour before noon, being an unprecedented rec ord for a cruise run. The best time made by any of the yachts was 4:36:34, the time of Bayard Thayer's schooner Constella tion. ■ This was an average of 13.9 knots an hour. The Vigilant averaged 13.7 knots. Up to the time of her accident the De fender averaged nearly 14 knots. This time was made on a broad reach, which was very nearly a run before the wind at times. The showing is all the more re markable when it is remembered that the distance is not ten or twenty miles, but sixty-four. ,;.... The officials of the New York Yacht Club have just reason to be proud of the performance of -the fleet in to-day's run. With the exception of one small cutter, all the yachts were in the harbor before 2 p. m. In other years it has been found necessary to devote two days" to the run to this port. The winners in the different classes to-day were: ' First class schooners, Constellation: second class schooners; " Emerald; third class schoon ers, Ariel; fourth class schooners, Amorita; fifth class schooners, Loyal. First class sloops. Vigilant; second class sloops, Katrina, Walkover; third class sloops. Queen Mab; fifth class sloops. Wasp; and sixth class sloops, Gossoon. - • v ■' - Before the start Huntington Bay pre sented a beautiful spectacle. with the fleet of yachts at anchor, two or three abreast, and forming a line a mile in length. At 5:30 a. M. the morning gun boomed across the waters, already stirred by a brisk wind, mainsails were gotten up, club topsails were sent aloft and jibs made ready. Promptly at 5 o'clock the Sylvia led the way out into the sound. The Defender and Vigilant sailed out side by side. The fresh morning breeze caused them to heel well over before they fairly got under way. There were signs in the sky of a blow later in the day, but neither skipper prepared for it by taking in club topsails. A dozen steam yachts followed the Sylvia to see the start. The schooners and sloops which were in the day's race moved from their anchorage when the Sylvia did, arid at 6:15 o'clock there was a thread .of white canvas off Eaton's Neck as the veteran lighthouse keeper on the point had never seen before. The Sylvia anchored near the buoy off Eatons light. Her signals were for a run to . New London, sixty-four miles away. The wind was from southwest : to south east, the course a little north of east; cor rectly it was a broad reach. At 6:30 the preparatory gun was fired. The The single-stickers were zigzagging about very, close to the line and frequently very j close to one another. Percy Chubb's Queen Mab led the way over when the starting was made at 6:40 o'clock. She was followed by the Amorita, Gos soon, Wasp, Minota, Hildegard, Katrina, Ventura and several minutes later by the I Clara. At 6:45 o'clock the schooners were ! started. The freshening breezes sent them across the line at a great pace. - Lasea led, followed by Montauk. Ra mona, Elsemaire, Marguerite and Constel lation close together and Iroquois, Emer ald, Brunhilde and Shamrock crossed a minute later. At 9:30 o'clock the gun again sounded from the flagship and the two big single stickers made for the line. The Vigilant crossed first, 33 seconds ahead of the De fender. The latter used only a No. 2 jib topsail, while the Vigilant sent a balloon. Both sloops had big club topsails aloft. The Defender outsailed the Vigilant from the start and passed her inside of half an hour. After passing Port Jefferson the wind increased until it was blowing thirty miles an hour and a considerable sea was kicked up. All eves were ■ directed at the big club topsails on the yachts, and after a couple of hours' run they were taken in and gaff topsails substituted. The bal loon jibs were also replaced by smaller head sails and the skippers trimmed sail for a more serious blow. Long Island Sound was white with foam and the talent. and crews of the racers were doused with showers of spray that were lapped up by the wind and dashed upon deck. The little . cutter Clara, a late starter, got- more of the heavy weather than the others and sought shelter before reaching New f London. Several : yachts had sails split and sheets carried away. ; All the fleet except the Clara are at anchor in New London harbor to-night. Ihe Jubilee and Volunteer arrived to-day a "d joined the fleet. To-morrow at 10 a. m. the fleet will start for the run to Newport. C FOUGHT WITH BLA CKSNAKES. Exciting Experience of, a Boating Party in Rhode Island. PATCHOGUE, R. 1., , July 30.-Two white-throated blacksnakes . made a* por tion of yesterday lively . for three idle young men . and Mrs. Charles Cochrane and Miss Nellie Rogers, wno were out row ing on a stream that flows from Patchogue Lake. The three men were at the head of the stream near the marsh on the east side. Two big black snakes darted from a yellow tuft grass and crawled into the water. The young men shouted until the snakes reached the boatside, when one of the snakes put his head on the edee of the boat and tried to crawl in. The men tried to kill it with the oars. The other snake did not seem to force hostilities, for when it finally got a whack on the head it made for the marsh again. The first snake con tinued to fight, but later gave it up and swam for the marsh too. About this time Mrs. Cochrane and Miss Rogers rowed up to the scene to see what the' swinging of the oars meant. The women ventured too near the marsh and a snake swam into the water and at tacked their boat and was struck a ter rific blow on the head with a stick in the bauds of Mrs. Cochrane. The other snake then reached the boat. Mrs. Cochrane did not care to right both, so rowed the boat ashore. She just reached it as one of the snakes managed to get into the boat. Both women jumped ashore and Mrs. Cochrane nicked up an oar and succeeded in break ing the snake's back. The other snake escaped. The dead snake was nearly five feet long and a genuine white-throated one. An hour afterward a party of . boys found a nest of young snakes, each about eighteen inches long, in the grass on the marsh. The snakes were killed. TIGHTENING THE NOOSE Holmes* Accomplice Found in the Penitentiary at Little Rock. Convict Hatch Will Give Information of Seven Murders to Secure Pardon. CHICAGO, 111., July 30.— There is now little doubt that the Chicago police will convict H. H. Holmes, alias Mudgett, alias Pratt, alias Gordon, now in the Philadel phia jail, of the murder of at least seven persons. They know the name of a man who can hang Holmes by giving his testi mony, and that man is in their power. His name is Hatch, alias Bond, alias Mas cot, and he is now serving a sentence of ten years in the penitentiary at Little j Rock, Ark., for horsestealing. He is as close to Holmes in all his mur der plots as Janitor Quinlan, and is ready to tell all he knows. This includes the pointing out of the resting place of the bodies of the Williams sisters, whom he himself assisted in secreting after they were murdered. He will tell how they were murdered and exactly how all their bodies were handled. He will also give full and explicit information concerning the murder of Pietzel and his two chil dren, and of Mrs. Julia Conner and her daughter. In short this man is the only living per son, aside from Quinlan, who can tell the story of the murders in the charnel-house at Sixty-third and Wallace streets. Aside from Quinlan he is the only man who can tell of Holmes' crimes in a way that will bring forth evidence of Holmes' guilt. The mention of his name by the police to day made Quinlan turn pale and refuse to talk further, and a confession from Quin lan is almost assured, but will come too late, as Hatch is to be the State's witness. It has been arranged to request his pardon from the Governor of Arkansas if he will give his testimony, with the understand ing that he will not be prosecuted in Illi nois for complicity in Holmes' frauds and crimes. : i It is suspected that Attorney William Capps of Fort Worth gave the police of Chicago valuable information concerning Hatch. In fact, it is definitely understood that Hatch was discovered in the Little Rock penitentiary by Attorney Capps, who is in Chicago for the purpose of prov ing up the fraudulent transactions of Holmes with regard to the property of the Williams girls. He declared to-day that the Williams girls were both dead, and that he could offer sufficient proof to a civil court to secure a setting aside of the title of their property (now in the name of Pietzel as l). B. Lyman), so that the heirs of the two girls could secure the property. But he refused absolutely to say what his evidence of the murder was. Hatch has assured the Little Rock offi cials that he knows the Williams girls were murdered by Holmes; that he knows where their bodies were concealed, and also that he could show that Pietzel and his two children, as well as Mrs. Conner and her daughter, were killed by Holmes. He said he knew where the bodies were located. The police are in full possession of in formation showing that Hatch, alias Allen, has been longer and better ac quainted with Holmes than Quinlan. He placed his liberty in jeopardy for Holmes in 1893, when he accompanied Holmes to Fort Worth in the transaction whereby the property of the Williams girls passed into the hands of Pietzel. He is the no torious Hatch whom Holmes has been talking about as having taken . the Pietzel children away from Chicago, and Holmes has always said he could not tell where Hatch was; that Hatch had disappeared and that he (Holmes) had lost track of him entirely. Undoubtedly, Holmes knew all along that Hatch was in the Ar kansas penitentiary, but as Hatch could be made a witness against him Holmes did not care to tell where Hatch was and permit the officers to go after him. ♦ BREVITIES FROM THE WIRE.

ON EASTERN TRACKS Altao Gave the Talent a Throwdown at Cleveland. WON IN STRAIGHT HEATS Driver McCarthy Injured in a Collision With Oakland ! Baron. TROUBLE AT KANSAS CITY. Dick Lafflngton Disqualified for Fouling After Having Won a Race. CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 30.— 1t was cold and raw at the Glenville track to-day. After the hard throwdown the talent got yesterday they were rather chary about centering on the favorite in the 2:15 trot, which was the first race called. There were many, good ones to pick from, and three were sold out in the pools against the field— Baron Rogers, $16; James L, $10. and Newcastle, $9— the field bringing $25. Altao, a 6 to 1 shot in the books, showed remarkable form and won in straight heats. The last heat was made in 2:10J4. In .this heat Oakland Baron, driven by Milan, broke in the backstretch and fell. Nap McCarthy, with Gretchen, was close behind and could not pull out in time to prevent a collision. McCarthy was thrown to the ground and badly bruised. .

V., July 30.— bloomer costume has been the means of breaking the marriage engagement between Frank Hammond and Lillie Drew. . y ■ Miss Drew, who is an expert wheel woman, donned a bloomer costume last week. On Saturday she met her fiance on the road near her home. She was clad in the full garb of the "new woman" and the young man was so enraged at the * sight that he indignantly demanded .what she meant by making such an appearance. "Why, Frank, this is the most ap proved style for lady ' cyclists now, and what possible objection can you have to my being in fashion?" answered- the girl with a laugh. •'The rig is one of the most abominable outfits a girl ever wore, and I want to say right here that unless you discard that mode of dress forever our intended mar riage will not take place," said Frank. The two eyed each other closely for a moment, and then Miss Drew slipped from her finger their engagement ring and handed "it to Mr. Hammond with there mark: * r *'_v.' ; "Very well, here's your ring. The new woman has a mind of her own, and will not submit to such a dictatorial spirit un der any circumstances." > Hammond was greatly surprised at the outcome of the interview, but his hatred of the new cycling costume was too strong to admit of repentance, and he went his way. The friends of both persons declare that there never will be a reconciliation. ACTED IN SELF-DEFENSE. A Witness Whose Story May Save Mary Barberi's Life. Cataldo Had Reached for His Stiletto When She Approached Him. NEW YORK, N. V., July 30.-Mary Bar beri, who is now confined in Sing Sing prison, sentenced to electrocution for hav ing murdered' Dominico, Cataldo, has re peatedly asserted that at the time she en tered the saloon where Cataldo on the day of the crime was seated at a table drinking and playing cards with another man, her life was threatened. The stranger disap peared and the condemned woman's story to the effect that her betrayer had a stiletto in his possession could never be verified. This man, who has been hiding through fear since that time, has at last been lo cated and was brought to Lawyer Evans' office to-day. The man whose name or whereabouts Mr. Evans is not ready to make public, was found by George Bor cia of 283 Bowery, who says that this witness to Maria's vengeance tells a story which, if true, almost makes the unfortunate woman's act one of self defense. According to Borcia, the man says that he distinctly saw Cataldo put his hand quickly into his breast pocket when the woman approached, and that a few moments before he had seen the handle of what seemed to be a stiletto protruding from the pocket. Whether Cataldo suc ceeded in drawing the knife, or what be came of it the witness does not know.but he positively asserts that what he says is true. ''SfyfX.f.fA V^.'7'A ' . ■- It now also comes to light that Cataldo not only refused to marry the girl and so right the wrong that he had done her, but he continually told her of his relations with another girl, and even went so far as to send her missives by his new love. Meanwhile the signatures to the petition executive clemency continue to pour in. The 35,000 mark was' passed yesterday and the prediction that 100,000 signature's will have been received in the month bids fair to be fulfilled. They are coming in now at the rate of 5000 a day and it is ex pected that even this figure will soon be passed. CANNOT TAKE AN APPEAL Port Collectors Must Abide by the Board of Appraisers' Decision. A Ruling Growing Out of the Con troversy Regarding Zante Currants. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 30. -The Attorney-General to-day delivered an opin ion the effect of which will be to reverse the policy that the Treasury Department 'has pursued since the enactment of the customs administrative act of July 10, 1890. The opinion is the outgrowth of an act of the Collector at San Francisco, and it holds that a collector of customs cannot act in dependently of the Secretary of the Treas ury, but must be guided by the decisions of his superior officer. Some weeks ago the Board of General Appraisers at New York decided that a certain kind of currants, imported, were not Zante currants, and were', therefore, free of duty. The Collector at the port of New York did not care to appeal, and the Secretary of the Treasury expressed ' his unwillingness to appeal from the decision of the board, as he ' was permitted to do under the law. Within a few days a sim ilar importation was made at San Fran cisco, and the Collector of that port imme diately appealed. The question was sub mitted to the Attorney-General whether the Collector could exercise this privilege in view of the act of the Secretary in de clining to make an appeal on the same question. Section 15 of the administrative act says that "the Collector or the Secretary of the Treasury" may apply for a review of the finding of the Board of Appraisers, and section 2652 of the Revised Statutes, which have been in force since 1842, says that the decision of the Secretary of the Treasury shall be conclusive and binding upon all officers of customs. Attorney-General Harmon holds that this act was not repealed in 1890, and that the Collector, being a subordinate, cannot undertake what his superior declines to do. It has been the practice of , the treas ury in the ; past, when : the Secretary de clined to take an appeal, to • permit the Collector to do so if he thought it desirable. The opinion rendered . to-day will greatly simplify matters of this kind in the future.' Cleveland's Coachman Buried. WASHINGTON. D. C. , July 30.-The funeral of William Willis, President Cleve- land's coachman, took place this afternoon. The • services were conducted by ; the Masons, after the body left the church. There "was a large attendance, 'including, many officials and employes of the White House, with whom the deceased had been a ' great favorite. M Sinclair, the , White House ■ steward, ; came here from Gray Gables to attend the funeral. y President and : Mrs. Cleveland sent a large wreath of ] white flowers and ■ aspara gus fern. y Colonel J. M. Wilson, in charge of public buildings and grounds, also sent a handsome floral offering. THE BAY DISTRICT RACES. •..•■■- The Westchester Stable Made Its Maiden Start at the Meeting. AN AUSPICIOUS BEGINNING. Road Runner and Little Bob Fur nished the Only Horserace of the Day. There were no additions to the number of bookmakers who weighed-in yesterday, the usual eight going on. The Elkton stable's imp. Greene, who has been on the shelf for a long time, started in the opening race yesterday, and after being backed down from 10 to 4 to 1 ran unplaced. • Neither May Jones nor the Lady Leinster filly had any chance to win in' the two-year-old race yesterday, for the jokey on each was pull ing up when the flag fell. ' Dapper and faultless in dress as ever Tod Sloane, the clever lightweight jockey, has re turned to the scene of his recent triumph. Tod says he had a fine time in the East,' devoting the trip entirely to pleasure. ■ It certainly agreed with . him, for while Tod does not look overburaened with adipose tissue, he says he will have to reduce about ten pounds to make his former riding weight; , - • -, J The recently arrived Westchester stable appeared on the scene of operations at the Bay District yesterday and scored a signal success. Margaret M, a very good-looking filly from the stable started in the 2-year-old event but was evidently not fancied strongly by her owner, for sne was allowed to go to the post at 12 to 1. She ran a good race, finishing second. With Royal Spirit, though, the second member of the string to make the appearance — 'twant the same. He started in the fourth race, a five-fur long selling dash, against a most ordinary lot, the Montana half-breed. Red Dick, ruling favorite. Opening with sixes about him, the stable co I n was very adroitly played in on Royal Spirit, so that around post time 2 to 1 was rather scarce, and by the way the race panned out it should have been 1 to 2. Red Dick cut but small ice in the race, for after leading as usual up to a furlong from home, Royal Spirit passed him as though he were a hearse and won hands down in 1:02 flat. The ring was hard hit on his win. A-Afyff Josie G, the 7 to 5 favorite, took the opening race at five furlongs very handily from Lee Stanley, a2O to 1 outsider. St. Elmo finished third. The two-year-old event, a five and a half furlong dash, resulted in a dump for the talent's two choices, Carrara and Rhaetia. Clara Johnson, a 6 to 1 chance, won all the way. Margaret Johnson was second, half a length ahead of Carrara. .'-.aXAa-. The five and a half furlong dash substi tuted lor the declared-off third race, en abled Ledalia to fall into what looked like something soft, and she came out a decid edly warm 13 to 10 favorite. She disposed of her field, but had to be ridden out to beat the 20 to 1 outsider, Gold Dust, rid den by Hinrichs. • Amigo was a good third. The time was slow, 1 :09"4. The last race, over a mile, ended in a hard drive between Road ; Runner and Little Bob, who went to the post each at 14 to 5. Through Piggott's superior finish ing powers, Road Runner gained the ver dict by a short nose. Carmel, the favorite, was third. ■'. _. Mulholland. 6UMMAET. - *•-• ■•• '. "~- Ban Ibancisco.
