A HOAX TO MAKE A STAKE
THE CHIEF JUSTICE'S INFERNAL
MACHINE HARMLESS.
r JWO Impecunious Newspaper Men
Put Up the Job in Order to Sell the
>:ews as a Sensation—Gov. Oglesby
Studying the Case of the Con
demned.
Washington, Nov. 4. — Sherburne G.
Hopkins, the person through whom the
police indirectly learned last evening that a
mysterious looking package had been
s„nt through the mails to Chief Justice
Waite, made a confession this afternoon to
Inspectors Raff and Horne, in which lie ad
mitted that the scheme war invented by
himself and Arthur B. Sperry, a reporter
on the Critic, an afternoon paper here, for
the purpose of creating a sensation. Inspec
tor Raff says that Hopkins also admitted
that another purpose was to raise .some
money through the sale of the sensation to
newspaper correspondents Both Hopkins
and Sperry were immediately arrested
upon a charge of cor. oiracy to defraud R.
,1. Wynne, of the Cinciiu ati Contmcrcial
(inzfltc.
the harmless infernal machine.
Hopkins also said in his confession that
(be package contained a few grains of pow
der, .inst sufficient to burst the tube and
alarm the person who might open the pack
age, a quantity of shoe blacking, common
yvrfiing ink and two exploded percussion
caps. This afternoon District Chemist
Richardson made an examination ot the
package end found the' Hopkins’
statement as to its contents was
substantially correct, except, that
the perous ion caps wore unexploded Hop
kins dated his notes offering the alleged
news to various correspondents, room 27,
< orroran building, office of Mr. O. Austin.
Sperry is the person who called at the
Chief Justice’s residence last evening and
inquired whether the mysterious looking
package had been received.
EXPLOSIVES in thv mails.
Assistant Attorney General Bryant, of
ihe Post Office Department, aid today in
reference to the transmission of explosives
through the mails and the penalty a •♦aimed
to mailing the same, that the postal
laws proper only declare uiui,ai!able
explosives or other matt r liab’e to
injure the mails or the persons of
those who handle them and make it the duty'
of postal employes to withdraw-such matter
from the mails when discovered. None of
the statutes defining postal crimes make it
a criminal offense to offer such matter for
mailing, nor does there appear to be any
Federal statute declaring such au act a
crime. The postal officials, said Judge
Bryant, have no right to withdraw
from the mails fully prepaid matter at first -
• lass rates, enclosed under seal, unless it is
manifest, without breaking the seal, that
m; h matter is urunailable. It is not enough,
aid he, that the package be suspicious in
ppeamu'.'o 'f Hopkins and Sperry are
convicted a all, it must be ureter the dis
trict law.
RELEASED ON HAIL.
Hopkins and Sperry secured bail later in
the afternoon and were released, to appear
id Police Court to-morrow morning and
answer the charge of conspiracy to defraud
Mr. Wynne. District Attorney Worthing
ton. is looking up the law. of the District of
Columbia to-night to sec if there is not
some other statute under which the young
•■•on cau Vie punished. It is thought Uuu
they can be’ *• to answer a more serious
charge than that ot conspiracy. TTopkins,
tke principal in tbo case, is a young man
shout, 22 years of ago, rather dudislily in
dined, and ot an unenviable reputation
among the correspondents in newspaper
row’, who speak of him as a romancier in
fields where fact and not fiction is demanded.
Hr is not regarded as vicious, but simply as
a dealer in the sensational.
A KA i *. OF FAKES.
He has T.VL nally imposed what are
known as ‘ . stories upon Washington
correspondents, and for this reason they
have of late fought shy of news which he
brought to them. Last night's exploit,
however, was entirely unlike anything in
" bich he bad previously engaged, and as it
"as an exceedingly' serious affair in what
ever aspect it was viewed, his
s-torv was telegraphed the papers after
au investigation had shown that the
box was actually sent to the Chief
Justice, and that it contained gunpowder
and some suspicious looking unknown liquid.
At the same time the reputat ion of Hopkins
"■as such as to discredit his story, and all of
the correspondents who wrote it up for their
papers called attention to the probability
''•at the affair was a hoax, \ttre time of
the excitement over the R'Unay, N. jk.
murder, Hopkins wrote ot ‘ di -patch pre
tending to identify (he muruerod woman as
R former in mate of a house which is called
‘ Division” in this city. He is also responsi
ble for an item printed in one or two papers
ttes-rting the existence of a Congressional
poker club, which changed its quarters
nightly and had for doorkeeper an employe
at the capitol.
GOV. OGLESBY READING UP.
Chicago, Nov. 4, A special to the Daily
S'euis from Springfield I!'-, says: The
importer of the Supreme Court delivered to
the Governor this morning v.iie first copies
"f the advance sheets ot tno opinion of the
Illinois Supreme Court in Urn Anarchist
< Gov. Oglesby is busily engaged in ex
"'.ining the records of the case,
the decisions of the Illinois, and
1 mted States Supreme Court, newspaper
editorials and reports of the public ex
pressions of prominent men. Since he en
tered upon this tusk he has not made his
Appearance at the executive office until
nearly noon, and then only to remain for a
1""’ minutes. After this he retires again to
Ihe mansion, and devotes his attention to
careful inspection of the case and matter
" hieh may have come by mail to hitn dur

HIS MAIL DOUBLED.
Since the decision of the United States
Supreme Court, refusing the writ of error
he mail of the Governor’s office has more
! han doubled, and the office force has been
busily engaged in the disposal of the ne
’umuletion until nearly midnight. The
petitions that have been circulated in vari
ous cities in behalf of the Anarchists
rave not begun to arrive and
he i na j| eonsists mainly of
ndividual appeals. The Governor arrived
’ the executive office shortly before noon
I ' day. The morning's mail wae full ot an
archistic communications from all parts of
he country, but their contents were not
J* -•'dosed. He said the letters of Rngel,
l ingg and Fischer have never reached him.
ihe Parsons’ letter has not l>ccn re
.'eived, and it may 1* said
i°r the Governor that he has only
d'e newspaper report authority for
the statement that these men will refuse to
,l ( 'ept a commutation to life imprisonment
•bd demand liberty cr death. Every
sdicial and employe about the Slate House,
' and ad the politicians and men about town
"ho have hu acquaintance with the Got--
J nor m-e firm id the belie! that be will not
mt*rrre with the execution of the sentence

the Governor that he will nako no official
order, buts.iuply permit the taw to take u

The statement that the police Jiad paid au
informer previous to pluming tiie outrage
was totally untrue. In comparison the num
ber of nits'tings proclaimed by tlie Conner
vative was much less than during, Mr.
Gladstone's administration. Mr. Balfour

who directly advocated crime, but
to tolerate those who only talk and
nonsense. lord Spencer moved uneasily in

a statement that steady application of the
present policy of tlie government, would re

loyal supporters of an empire which they,
by their virtues, upheld and adorned.
FRANCIS RENTES.
The Passage of the Conversion Bill a
Government Victory.
Parts, Nov. 4 —The newspapers of Paris
admit that the passage of the Rentes Con
version bill by the Chamber of Deputies is
a victory for the government. The gov

port, received from the Right, a majority of
whom changed front and voted for the bill.
Paul He ('assagna- publishes 111 Ills ;taper a

Pooler News.
Pooler. Ga., Nov. 4. -Since our last
mention of Pooler the place has been
rapidly Improving. An elegant school
house has been built and is in full working
order, with sixty scholars. Miss 1 vie Pat
tersen, of Savannah, is assistant teacher.
Codings avenue ha. been on a boom for
the past month. Five two-story bouses
have been built. I. I), l.a Roche contain
plates building a tine house on Codings
avenue. I). Jackson is adding quite a large
store to his house.
Pooler is away ahead of Havannah in one
point—it has only one “time,” which is
standard.
