It was a bad night for old Tim Hurke. With
the same eager, confldefit manner that has hern
flned,a tho "old man's Iron nerve" lie totd
two new stories to Coroner Halloran about tho
shooting of till son-in-law, Kreiterlck Hergmann.
Kath story dlfferod from the other and from thu
first atofy told to Justice Vaughan at the exam
I nation. The old man, smart ns he l, seems tin
ablo to (It scribe how the gun went olf without a
man behind It.
The little undertaking shop, which (stalled a
mprgue by the more ambitious v lllagei-n of Clif
ton, was a gathering place for many Idle people
lat evening. They crowded tho rooms, doors,
and windows, and exhausltsl the nlr supply un

many classes, and were Interesting as well as
Interested. Many of them were grlrlrd old
fishermen who had known Tom Ilurke on the
beach for thirty ) ears.
Then there were the children who could not

so olustercd about the windows to see Hie old

incomfortable before the sesshm was over. Old
Ilurke not only suffered from tho suffocating
l.iat, but he suffered from most damaging
Idence. All of his much-vaunted nerve could
nntdsgule that. Finally, when his tough old
Ml Iter's heart melted at tho sight of hi weeping
fniigliler, ho suffered what was to him tha
greatest torture of all her refusal to come to
him after her mother's pleading. It was, indeed,
a most unpleasant night for the old man.

against the port side of the Herlln amidships,

Capt. Watklns feared that he had disabled

lUiiTruiili, Aug. '.'(), A gigantic conspiracy
to fleece rollrgo graduates un n grand n nle has
been unearthed here In the arrest of a woman
who gives the iinmo of Mrs. K. Wallaco Hob
bins, with moro than a score of aliases. Mrs.
ltobblns Is one of a gang of confidence thieves,
whose headquarters Is In Chicago, and which
w as organised for the tv hotcsale robbery nf col
lege graduates.
Two Idlers were found lu Mrs. KobMns's
effects Into to-night which ramo from her hus
band. The first was wittten on Aug. n,
while ho waa In Jail, and the second, after his
liberation from a sixty data' sentence for pre
sumably the same offence. Is dated Aug. 14. In
these letters the writer speaks of "our com
pany." "our headquarters," Ac, and of two
other members of tho gang.
In ono place, at hlsw Ifo'a request, he minutely
describes two college acquaintances, nf his,
whom Mrs. ltobblns was going to "work," and
refers to one of them as "singing together with
him In tho same college chapel choir." The let
ters are signed "N," and tho name and coltego
nf the victims are not mentioned. It Is evident
that the writer Is n well-educated man of expe
rience and talent.
In one of hlsletteis "N," saa that a mutual
friend under the name of Alfred Temple Is at
10'J Kast Ilandolph street, Chicago, nnd to this
Mr. Tempi" Mrs. Hobblns has twice sent money
by express since she has been In Hartford.
In one letter written prior to these last two,
Mrs. Itobblns's husband, then in the Cook coun
ty Jail. Chicago, asks her in meet him after his
liberation nnd flee to Canada, as matters are
getting too hot for them. Ho addrmses Mrs.
ltobblns as "My dearie," and ends with giving
her " lota of klsvs."
One letter among Mrs. Itobblns's effects Is
dated Elgin, 111,, and the writer, a woman, sats
she has Information that would land .Mrs. Roll,
bins iaddresed by the writer as .Mrs. Kdward
K. Howe) and her huslutnd behind tho bars for
ears. The Elgin woman threatens to tell what
she knows If a certain amount of money Is not
furthcoming.
There Is a letter signed II. Hutchinson, ad
dressed to the proprietor of theShorehnm Hotel,
Washington, referring to Mrs. Kobblua as a
" very elegant and refined lady, well acquainted
with (leii. Thomas Nelson, and a relative of
Wlnfleld Hcolt."
From her papers It Is evident that Mrs. Hob
blns has worked extensively In 1'i'iins) hauls,
Virginia, Ithodo Island, Connecticut, New York,
and Massachusetts. In the ltollce court to-day
Mrs. Hobblns showed herself smarter than all
tho lawyers present, and conducted her own
rase In a remarkable manner. Hbe wont
a brick-red dress, blue gossamer and veil,
and black kids. She bulldozed thn
Court, and actually had the effrontery to
retain ono of her victims here, Cooke. Uiuns
btiry, a lawyer, to defend her ugalust himself.
Her nervousness never allows her to keep still.
One minute she weeps copiously, tho next with
narrowing pupils she looks defiance at her ac
cusers, and again, with wtar) yawns aiidndls
dalnful smile she look' contemptuously around
the court room. Mm astounded Judgo and law
yers alike, by her astuteness.
Prosecuting Attorney Parker products! the
printed rntalogiiea and cards, whlrli he has
used, and held them up to her, but they did nut
embarrass her. Mhe smiled when Mr. Parker
held up what he supposed was his trump card,
the first which contained the records of her suc
ceas In getting money by her representations.
It was with a look of triumph that
alwt acknowledged tho h-uidn-rltlci mi
the cards, and said that the memo
randa of the money received by her and
filenames of the persona showed llint she did
not intend to defraud, hut that it showed her
purpose to refund the sums of money lent her.
Mrs. ltobblns developed a volubility of speech
that was simply Irrepressible. Neither the mild
admonition of the Judge nor the stern repri
mand nf the prosecuting attorney could keep
her from talking at a rapid rate. Mhe waved her
hand, as If brushing aside all minor points, and
said: "Let us come to the main point of the
case."
She then, referring to the complaint, said that
she was i barged w 1th obtaining money under
false pretences. This she denied, and said Bhe
did not ask either Dr. llacoiior.Mr. Ilolllstcrfor
money. They voluntarily lent her money and
she accepted tho sums. The money was not
given to her at her rispii nt. This ingenious de
fence took every one by surprise, and the
attorni)s who were In the. iniirl mi other
casee whlspertsl nmoiig themselves that Mrs.
Hobblns. by presenting thin vlewnf the case,
would lie acquitted. Sho turned toward Dr.
lincon and Mr. Ilolllster. and, llxlng her large
eyes on them, asked lioth If she had asked them
fur innnev, either as it loan or as a gift. Dr.
Hacfliinnd Mr. Hollister admitted that she had
not. She did not want money, but a railroad
pass from Dr, Haeun. The case was adjourned
until Wcdiicida.

Ireland.
Lonimin, Aug. '.'1. The Irish Nationalists lu
the House of Commons lost their patience inrly
this morning and alumni plnlnly their disgust
at the failure nf nil Irish legislation. lr Wil
liam Harrnurt, Chancellor of the Kxt hnitrr.
hnd proposed the postponement of Inking the re
port of supply. Including the vote for the Lords
and officials. Thomas Sexton, nntl-Pamelllte
for North Kerry, had protested heatedly amid
the c,hecrs of tho Nationalists nntl HaillcnK
The House then went Into Committee of Ways
aud Means. .Mr. Pcxtnn moved to rle and to
report progress to the House. Sir William liar
court repllnlt
"I hope such amethod of hindering the flov
cf nment business w 111 not be persisted In."
Mr. Sexton excitedly exclaimed that he and his
colleagues had had their patience so strained by
repeated delays that they could not endure much
moro. Whllo Parliament temporized or declined
to act, the sufferings of Ireland Increased. Tho
Government had agreed with tho Tories tn the
present caso to postpone certain orders. He
would not bo a party to thla agreement: he
would press his motion. On division the Aotlon
was defeated by a vote of M to 31.
.Tames Henry Dalzlel, Literal for Kirkcaldy,
moved that the Chairman vacate thocbalr. Mr
William Ilarcntirt again protested against such
tactics. Mr. Sexton repeated his accusation
that the Government were making commou
cause w Ith the Tories In certain matters. The
object of tha postponement proposed by Sir
Wllllum. he said, was to glvo the Tories an op
portunity to drum up their party support for the
Lords vote. (Nationalist and Hadteal cheers.1
.Mr. Dalzlcl's motion and two other motions
of similar Intent were then rojectnl.
Justin McCarthy, leader of the anti-Parnell-Itcs,
moved that the Chairman vacate the Chair.

earnestness In expressing Hie feelings of tho

peated his charges against the Government.
Sir William Haroourt xoado a comprehensive
disavowal for the Government. No member of
the Government, ho said, had wittingly acted
against the sentiment of the Homo and tho
electors. He himself felt keen appreciation of
tho loyal support given by the Irish members.
Mr. McCarthy's motion was rejected by a vote
of A3 to U2.
John Sweetman.antl-Pamrlllie for the Kast
division of Wicklow, has expressnl In a letter to
the rrrenum'j Jonmnl tho discontent felt by
himself and many of his colleagues since the
defeat of the Kvlctcd Tenants bill. His final
words are:
"It Is evident that this Parliament cannot
legislate for Ireland and ought to be dissolved to
make way for one that can."
Vssey Knox, autl-l'arnellltc for WestCavan,
participates! in the delmte with a short, sharp
speech, beginning with tho assertion that " fine
words butter no parsnips," and ending with the
Inquiry: "When did the Gnvernmeul conclude
their compact with tho Tories J"
Sir William denied that there was any com
pact. Later the Hadlcnls tried to draw from

Ci.kvki.ami, Aug. "0. Tho dedication of the
little Polish church on Fremont street by the
new American Cathollo Church, which waa at

casion of rioting and bloodshed. It was during
the nftcrnoon that tho procession of the fol
lowers of Father r. Kolazewskl was started
from tho church lo the new cemetery, which
w as to W onsecratcd. While passing through
the precincts of a rival parish a crowd of men
and women Jeered the people In line and threw
stones at them. Upon the return of the parade
later tho penplo who caused the trouble were
still there, and after the soldiers, who had acted
as a body guard forlllshnp Yllatteand the other
priests, hail passed, the crowd made a dash at
Iho marching men. One of the latter retaliated
and a general melee resulted.
David llwyzdla saw his son In the midst of
tho tight and started to rescint him. As lie did
so a man standing nn the steps of a saloon fac
ing the street drew a revolver and fired Into the
crowd. Tho bullet lodged In Owyzdla's left leg,
making a wound Hint Is not serious. The
mounted soldiers charged the assailants and
pursued the man who did the shooting, but ho
escaped.

on the head with a brick until he sank to the

the most desperate In the State, a score of its
memliers being at present Inmates of the peni

A runaway occurred In Central Park at five
minutes befoie "o'clock last evening whiili re
sulted in the death of Miss KmmaSchnffiier of
TO West Fiftieth street nnd In serious Injuries
to Mrs. Itlchard Gruliam of ','X West Fiftieth
street.
The two ladles were tcltirnlng from an after
noon drive lun mutt phaeton behind a big roan
horse. Miss Schaffner, who was an expert
liotsowoman, was driving. About two months
ago the same horse, ran away with her
mother, Mrs. Kmestlno Schaffner, who
Is well known its the "Tombs Angel."
throwing her out of the carrlago and
Inflicting Injuries which i unfilled her to the
houso for several weeks, tn spite of this, .Miss
Schaffner continued to drive the horse, which
ran away yeatsrday for the fifth time. A week
ago lie bolted with Miss Schaffner In the car
riage, but she managed to hold him In
Yesterday the big roan became unruly and got
away from the joung woman's control optmslto
the Hamilton statue, which stands on the east
drive, ncsr Righty-cnond street. There wero
but few carriages un the drive, and the horse
ran for some distance unimpnled, and with Miss
Schaffner striving to quiet him.
When ho camo to tho Sevent)-iilntli street
branch drive he swerved and dashed the light
phnetnn against a tree. The carriage waa over
turned and the ladle were thrown out upon tho
drive, while tho horse ran down the road with
the broken shafts, pursued by Policeman Mur
phy on horseback.
Policeman Cogan. who had seen the accident,
hastened up and found Miss Schaffner uncon
scious and Mrs. Graham groanlng.wlth a broken
leg. He summoned a Park ambulance nnd had
them taken to the Presbyterian Hospital. A
little skye terrier, which had been in the phae
ton with them, was picked up uninjured.
At tho hospital an examination showed that
Miss Srlutffner'e left thigh hail Iwen crushed by
liar fall. Ill addition to this, she had sustained
severe internal Injuries, from which she died at
8:40 o'clock.
Mrs. Grahr.m had received a simple fracture
of the right lee. At midnight she hnd been v i
ited by her husband and was doing very well.
Unless Internal Injuries developed. It waa
thought that her caso would not be a serious one.
Mrs. Sclia finer, know Ing the vicious character
of the horse, hecam alarmed at her daughter's
prolonged absence, and about half past H o'clock
she sent to Mcilugh's stables, lu Fifty-eighth
street, where the horse is kept, and caused In
quiries to lie made.
Tho Arsenal In Central Park was reached by
telephone, and news of the accident was gained.
Soon after an officer from the Arsenal went to
Mrs. Schaffner's house with the particulars. He
hroke tho news of Mils Schaffner's death to her
sister.
Mrs. Schaffner had already gone to the hos
pital, which she reached Just as Iter daughter
waa dying. So Intense were hrr sufferings that
tha ph)slclans would not permit her mother to
be present. Miss Schaffuer became unconscious
before her death.
Miss Schaffner was yn years old. Sho was
quite deaf, and on that account did not go much
into society. Her chief pleasure consisted In
riding and driving.
Policeman Murphy had a long rhaao before ho
succeeded in capturing tho horse, which ran
down past the Webster statue at the Scvent)
second street entrance and then started across
the big ball ground. Murphy spurred his own
horse on, but waa nnablo to catch up with the
excited animal.
After running across the fleld the runaway
struck into the main drive, and as he came
to the marble arch Murphy overhauled hlra
and seized the hrldle. After a short strug
gle the runaway was brought to a stand
still, and was taken to the Park stable, where
the little sky terrier had already lieen locked up.
The fragments of the carriage, which had been
badly smashed, were gathered up and taken lo
the Arsenal.
There will bo many to sympathlre with the
mother nf the young woman, it Is nearly ten
years since she began the work which baa
earned for her the title of "The Tombs Angel."
A riKir sort ant girl accused of theft went
tn her for assistance. Mrs Schaffner lis
tened to her story, tiellevcd that the girl
was falsely accused, and aanlsUsl Iter lo
defend herself. Kstablishlug this girl's Inno
cence opened Mrs. Sthittfner a etesto the fact
that many an Innocent peroon might be seut to
Jail simply for lack of means to get legal help
and evidence.
She began haunting the Tombs prison and
talking with the prisoners. At the end of a) ear
she had the satisfaction of having sated more
than adozen men and women from being con
victed nf crime. Since then alio has given ball,
hired lawen, and assisted those she liellevert
to he Innocent lu ewi way In her
power. Nor does she let her Interest cciu-e after
they were free. She has found places for her
beneficiaries, lent them nionev, or helped them
lu some way to self-support.
In 1HU0 Mrs. Srhnatiner's philanthropic work
had grown tn be so extensive) that she engaged a
lawyer at a salary to attend to thn legal part
nf It, and at the same time slut opened an
officii near the Tombs nt a.'l Centre street.
Hero she advertised; "Free Advice to the Poor
and the innocent Accused." Mrs. Schaffner is
regularlv upon about $'.'0,000 lu hall bonds, and
sho bus a considerable sum lent to those who
have been prisoners.
It was asserted by some of her friends when
her work grew extensive that she would ruin
her fortune by becoming resiionslble for bad
characters.
Mrs. Schaffner declarcst not long ago that In
all the time alio had been helping these jieople
she had not lost, all told. $1,000, and that a con
siderable part of this had been lot in a caso
when a lawjer tmplo)nl by her recovered

Capslsrd with a Woman Conspaaloa, aad
After lltr Urseue t'peet Acaln,
Lakk Pi-wiii, Aug. 'JO. The breeze was
so fresh and the water so rough yesterday after
noon that every one wondered ut the reckless,
nrss two occupants of a canoe displayed In
going about under tw o 88111-. The rannlits were
a man and a young woman. One sail was left
to take care of Itself, whllo the man shifted tho
other about to catch the varlng wind, at the
same time managing the tiller. Here and tliero
the canoe swiftly darted, turning every few
minutes, and with each turn nearly rapsizlng.
Among the other craft on thu lake was an
Adirondack guide boat, in which were Miss
Kdlth Dunshee and Hubert K Moffett, a joung
lawyer of this city. Whllo Mr. Moffett had his
back to the reckless canoists. Miss Dunslieu
.suddenly exclaimed:
"They're over!"
Looking around, Mr, Moffett saw that the
canoe had upset, ami that Its former occupants
wero evidently under wuter. They came up
pretently both laughing, and clung to the drift
ing canoe. In the mean time Mr. Moffett, w hose
boat was nearest, had begun rowing toward
them. The water was so rough that it took him
five minutes lo row over the intervening quar
terof a mile.
On reaching the overturned canoe he said to
the woman, 'I can't lake you in, but If you
catch hold of the stem of my boRt I'll pull ou
ashore."
Tho woman, w ho was entangled In the rigging
of the ranoe. Anally disengaged herself, and,
encumbered by her skirts as she was, swam to
Mr. Moffttt's boat She nearly overturned it
before she secured hold at Iho stern. Miss Dun
shee took hold of her hands to prevent her sink
ing should she lose control of herself.
The woman's companion said ho would stick
lot he canoe until the arrival of boatmen, who
were seen romlug to his rescue from the shore.
Mr. Moffett set out to pull fur land, which was
about a quarter of a mile distant. It was
hard pulling, with tho woman's skirts trailing
in the water, and It took ten minutes to get to
the landing of the Hulsseaumont Hotel.
The rescued woman was cared for at the hotel,
and after her clothes bad been dried she was
driven over to the Stevens House, where she
boards. Her name was not learned. Her escort,
who proved to b an Englishman named Mon
taigne, formerly of the Hrillsh navy, after being
taken ashore with hla ranoe, which was balled
out, art out to cross In her to the Stevens House.
A one-armed boatman went with him. The
ranoe a again blown over when half across
th lake, aud the two men were spilled out.
They were rescued, however, by near-by boat,
and Mr, Montaigne finally reached hi desti
nation. ,

TonoNTO. Aug, ,'().- A proposal to ask the
American Government to contribute toward tho
cost of deepening the St. Lawrence canals, on
tho condition that they shall In future lie Jointly
owned by the two countries, is discussed here.
A convention Is to be held here next month to
discuss tho question of deepening these canals
so as to allow ocean-going vessels to pass through
them to Toronto, Huffaln, Detroit, and other
western points to facilitate the grain-carrying
trade. Hoard of Trade representatives from
Cleveland and other Amrrlran rjltes hive prom.
Ised to attend, so that the convention will have
something of the nature of an international af
fair. As to a Joint ownership. It Is contended
on one hand that, as American and Canadian
vessels enjoy exactly the samo privileges In the
St. Ijiwrenco canala. Joint ownership would not
lie objectionable. If the American Government
paid hnlf the cost of Improving them, Oppo.
nents of the proposition for Joint ownership
hold that Canada can very well afford to bear
the cost alone, that she can place a discriminat
ing tax on American vessels using the St. Law
rence canals, and that Joint control of these ca
nals would tie more dangerous to the national
ex Istence nf Canada than commercial union w Ith
the United States.
