THE ABGUa SATUKPAV, KOVEMKEK 7. d!uSf j2, 9athj fasten ?rlng dtji OTerioltl.ohe basiogs derby hat'anrf the Tie AreM;d Krlesetf,itBt Vhler nit. ler Is 1 tersBlar Mernre All P.ible Evldeoce Mrs. Hlll'a icry. Mrs. W. 3. Hill, who was made the unfortunate Tictim of a fiendish assault at her home on Thursday nitht, is still confined to her bed from its effects. Hill, who was detained at police headquarters all day yesterday, was released last night Chief Miller having been advised to take such a coun e by a number of attorneys, whose opini -n he sought in the absence of the states attorney. The impression of those with whom the chief sought coun sel was, that while there as strong cir cumstantial evidence against Hill, there was notbins as jet learned to establish a motive for such an act on his part, and hence it would be a difficut matter to con vict him. Chief Miller, however, does not pro. pose to let t ae matter rest here not that he is particularly anxious to fasten the blame upon Hill any more than he is to exonerate' him, but he is determined to find the one who is guilty of the heinous crime, if pot sible. This morning he fell upon a piece of strong evidence of a cir cumstantial nature. In his conversa tiorjs concerning his purchase of nitric acid, Mr. Hi 1 declared that it was secured several days ago for a hoof disease of his horse, and that he bad purchased it all at the Fourth avenue drug store. This morning Chief Miller ascertained that a cilored man answering Hill's descrip tion had purchased a large bottle of ni. trie acid at Harrison's pharmacy in Dav-. enport early Thursday evening before the occurrence. Mr. Htrrison remembers the man's appearance perfectly, and he was expected over this afternoon to identify Hill. . ' When seen by an Argus reporter who called at her house this morniag, Mrs. Hill was apparently indignant at the charge ibat had been made against her husband. In answer to a question from the reporter as to whether she had any cause to suspicion any one of it, she re plied, "no s. r, I cannot imagine why any. one should wish to treat me in that way. I do not know why my husband should be suspected of this crime as our domestic relations are, and always have been very happy. I was present wh;n the boy told my bus. band to get the nitric acid for the horse's hoof, but the bottle which he got wag fonnd in my husband's pocket where he to'd the chitf of police he could find it." "Then in your opinion the suspicion against your husband is unwarranted," was the question put by the reporter.1 .. "It certahily is. for when I first was aroused by the liquid being thrown in my face, I saw a man disappear into the hall way and a cbair was placed near the door as if to trip any pursuer. I immediately went into my husband's room and found him in bed, and he afterward got up and went after the doctor." Mrs. Hill was apparently yery much in earnest: and to all appearaaces believes her husband innocent,, notwithstanding that her stc ry does not agree with her husband's in one particular, as he stated yesterday t a reporter that he was aroused by lis wife's cries and went to her room, when he discovered that the vitriol had baen poured npon ber face. He still maintains that chloroform was used instead of nitric acid, and that who ever did it,attempted to pnt him under its influence als3. When the reporter men tioned to hiti the conflicting statements of himFelf at d and his wife this morning as to which entered the other's room, he said, "Well, I was so under the chlorc form that I could not remember circum stances or what I said yesterday." Water Main Trouble. Supcrinter dent of Waterworks Murrin has been pretty busy since Thursday night's fire repairing water mains which the unusual pressure bursted. At Third avenue and Fourth street a 12 inch pipe gave way and the lower floor of the stove works was flooded in consequence. Tbis damage was repaired, however, by noon yesteriay. But the bursted 12 inch main on Second avenue east of Twentieth ws not so easily repaired. The unusual pressure of 105 pounds which was necessary to reach School Building No. 6 caused a defective place la the pipe to break, and the water soon found its way ' to the sur face. Bupt. Murrin's forces worked all day yesterday and until 8 o'clock this morning, when work was suspended until this morning on account of the necessity of blasting. At daylight work was re samed, and Mr. Murrin hopes by this evening to have the broken main re placed. At 10 o'clock this mcrning a portion of the bank caved in on William Beddig who was stooping down cutting the pipe. His shoulder was wrenched and his left arm cut by teirg brought in contact with tie ragged edne, of the pipe. ' The in juries are no; regarded as serious.

Gaetjer and Ben jamin DeGear were standing at the cor ner of Seventh avenue and Seventeenth street conversing when a man was seen by Mr. DeGear to jump over a fence of a neighboring lot and enter the alley. Just at that moment Mr. Gte'jer's little girl rushed out and said a man had been in their back Tar J. Messrs. Weisler and Gaetjer at once gaye chase to the man and after scouring the alley found him crouched behind a fence at the corner of the alley. When asked what he was doing there be said be was simply eating his supper. He displayed a partly eaten biscuit and when pressed further for in. formation about himself be said bis name was W. H. Austin, that his home was in Henry county, that he was an old soldier and was expecting a pension from the government, but not receiving it yester day he had been obliged to beg his sup per and find a place to sleep wherever be could. He asked enough money to se cure a bed for the night and Messrs. Weisler and Gaetjer who were at first dis posed to turn him over to the police, were so impressed with the apparent sin cerity of his story that they took him to the Commercial house where he passed the night. The bouse of B. I. Hayes at 908 Third avenue was entered about 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon in the absence of Mrs. Hayes, who was out for a drive, an 1 a good suit of clothes. two pair of bracelet', a gold necklace and a revolver stolen. The house had been entered through a window, and completely ransacked, and the men, who were seen about the premi-, sss by neighbors, are described as cf me oiner a slouch hat. Liter a man with a light overcoat was seen to join them, but it was not known then that a burglary had been committed. August Apple was fined $5 and costs by Magistrate Wivill . this afternoon for assault and battery on the person of John Peterson.

'. FlagWr n Chilian Enerxsnrlrs. Speakieg of tie Chilian affair, General W D. Flagler, chief of ordnance of the United States army, who wss at the Audi torium, said to a Chicago Iiter-Ocesn reporter that while this country has no coast defenses, it possesses the best known small srms and the best type of heavy armament in the world. "We are by no meacs the defenselets country that many people imsgine," he continued. "The Lnittd States would not adopt a magszice arm in use by any country in Europe. Oir 8Drinefield ortech loader will be better than the Manchester cr any other in use on the European continent. Military men abroad know that the models of our n?w 100 heavy steel gucs are the best a the world. Our preponderance of officers over the rank and file is a merit although sometimes contemptuously spoken of. West Point is in advance of any military academy in tue world and it has turned out officers sufficient in num ber and training to commnand a large army, and when needed we have the very best aims and equipments for 200.000 men. When the people decide to go to war they will furnish the men by the mil lion. It is easier to get men than arms and I trust congress will pass sufScint appropiations for our arsenals. Our coasts need attention, of course, but with the present work on the navy ordnance I feel that San Francisco, Boston and New York will be in a fair state of de fense within two years: "In the United Slates," he continued, "it is always easier to get men than guns in time of need. The people furnish the the men by the million and the govern ment ought to see to it that the guns are ready for them if needed in defense of the nation. I hope congress wilt make a liberal appropriation for the completion of the Rock Island arsenal to a prodnc tive stage."
