AN ACCIDENT
TO DEFENDER.

SOl.III STICK.
Defender Easily Ahead When the
Accideut Happened.
By Southern Associated Press.
Newport, R. I., Aug. 2.—The Defender
lost her first race today and great was
the pity "of It, for she had walked away
from her three competitors and was near¬
ing home when a new fangled gaff at the
top of her mainsail broke and most in.
gloriously the aspirant for cup honors
was obliged to take a 'ine from a common
every-day tug and retire from the race,
allowing the Vigilant to win. The $300
cup offered by Ogden Goelet was the prize
for which the syndicate boat was racing;
but the fair fame of a craft that seeks
international honors was at stake. Pitted
against her were her persistent antagon¬
ists, George J. Gould’s Vigilant, the Pre¬
server of the America’s cup in 1893, and
Gen. Charles J. Paine's unknown "Jubi¬
lee,” built for a cup defender in '93, but
hccessful ot chosen and also J. Malcolm Forbe’s
cup defender of 1887, the Vol-
tinteer.
With three opponents fit to try her steel,
the latest Herreshoff creation went out to
Brenton’s reef lightship, off the entrance
to Newport Harbor, this morning and put
up a race that delighted the big crowd
of spectators. Until after rounding' the
second turn and sailing 32 miles of the 38
mile course. Then her new hollow gaff
broke near its middle and the great main¬
sail became a misshapen bag.
Gen. Paine’s Jubilee not only failed to
crowd the Defender, but could not push
the Vigilant near as hard as she did in
the trial race of ’93 showing either that
the changes in the Vigilant have Improv¬
ed her or the changes in the Jubilee (have
not improved her. Calculations of the
Valkyrie’s performances taking her su¬
periority to the Brtiannia and the latier’s
defeats of the Vigilant in English waters,
will not hold good, therefore, for the
Defender beats the improved Vigilant
and not merely the old Vigilant. The per¬
formance of the old Volunteer today allow¬
ed how much we have progressed In yacht
buildng since ’87 when the boat which was
over one-half an hour slower than the
model of 1895 easily beat the Thistle.
The great race of the sloops diverted
attention from the race for the $1,000
schooner's cup, also offered by Mr. Goe¬
let, which was sailed at ihe same time
over the same course. There were nine
crack schooners in the race. The best
elapsed time was made by the Lasca and
was five hour*, fourty-two minutes and
twenty-six seconds. The Vigilant covered
the distance in five hours, thirty minutes,
and fifty-nine seconds, or almost thirty-
nine minutes better than the best of the
schooners. Emerald was the second schoon¬
er to finish and was given the prize on
time allowance. Amorita was the third
schooner in. The others finished In the
following order: May Flower, Mertin,
,'eara and Loyal. The last two are
■hooners of class five and were racing
>r a special cup which was offered at the
New York Yacht Club regatta June 13,
but was not decided then, owing to a
mistake in classification. The Loyal won
the prize ’today by two minutes and
thirty-nine seconds, corrected time.
Tomorrow morning the fleet will con¬
tinue the cruise by a run ito Vineyard
Haven where it will lay at anchor over
Sunday, returning here on Monday.
Word was received from Bristol late
tonight that the Defender will be on hand
with a new gaff tomorrow and will con¬
tinue on the cruise. The Vigilant, Jubilee
and Volunteer will also go to Vineyard
and in all probability the four boats will
meet again in the Drezel cup races here
next Tuesday. The American cup com¬
mittee will set the time for the trial races
upon the return of the fleet here next
Monday.
IMIIAX SCARE ENDED.
The HuunockN Returning to Their
Reservation.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 2.—The Bannocks
Indian scare seems to have ended. The
Indians are returning to their reserva
tiou. They have not been fighting, and
have no desire to fight, The follow
ing telegram was received tit the War
Department this morning from General
Coppinger, through his headquarters at
Omaha: "Report was received from
Market Lake this morning which indi¬
cates that Indians were returning from
Jackson’s Hole by a straight line to the
reservation. To test the correctness of
the report, the Union Pacific Railway
office was asked to telegraph for infor-
to stations along the Oregon
line from Soda Springs westward.
following reply is from the division
Superintendent at Pocatello: "The
stage driver who lias-just reached Soda
Springs says that after he left Oarrabo
this morning, he eame through I’ray’s
hake and the Black river country. He
reports that 200 Bannocks at Grave
Lake were on the way from Jackson’s
Hole to the reservation. They said that
there had been no fighting, and that
there was no desire on their part to
tight. The scare seems to be over, and
settlers understand that the Indians are
trying to make their way back to the
reservation to avoid the troops. The
information is thoroughly reliable.”
Corbett at San Antonio.
By Southern Associated Press.
San Antonio, Tex.. Aug. 2.—A tele-
gram was received here this morning,
announcing that Corbett had signed to
do his finishing training at San Antonio.
This city agrees to pay the transpor¬
tation of ten men, and furnish free
training quarters and cottages for Cor¬
bett and his party. They will arrive
here about September X.
GRAY, JONES COUNTY, GA., AUGUST 8, 1895
MRS. m l.M.AN S REVELATIONS.
They Are Said to Throw More Light
on the Cttae.
By Southern Associated Press.
Chicago, Aug. 2.—There were no new
Important developments in the Holmes
ease today, (ieyor, (lie Philadelphia de¬
tective, arrived this morning, held a
conference with the police and left again
for Philadelphia tonight. Ills confer¬
ence with the police was in the presence
of Pat Quinlan and his wife. In com¬
pany with the police officials Mrs. Quin¬
lan went to the Holmes "castle” today
and gave the officers considerable infor¬
mation . Some of the furniture In the
Quinlan apartments there was identi¬
fied as having once belonged to Julia
Connor, who, with iter daughter, is
thought to he dead—a victim of Holmes.
Mrs. Quinlan gave the police this
much information. After the police had
talked with tleyer and permitted (ieyer
to talk with Quinlan and his wife, the
two became much more communicative.
The police became mysteriously alert,
and it was at once announced that im¬
portant testimony had been received.
Chief Badeuoch said:
“We have secured some new and very
important information from Mrs. Quin¬
lan. She has given us some very strong
evidence against Holmes.’’
“Does it relate to the charges of for¬
gery or murder?”
“That I will not say at this time.
We are using the information arid
adding to it by new discoveries made
by the use of her evidence. We are
not through yet and will not give the
information to the press till we are.
Then I think the press will not be dis¬
posed to criticise us for the work we
have done in this very much tangled
case.”
“Is it not true that the Quinlan’s are
staring a 20 year sentence in the pen-
nitentiary in the face when they con¬
template a requisition to Texas?"
“Yes, that is true. We have undis¬
puted evidence that will send Holmes
and Mrs. Quinjan to the penitentiary
for 20 years in Texas, and I think Pat
could be placed in the same net.”
From the fact that Geyer has gone
to Philadelphia and that Lawyer
Capps has gone there, it seems proba¬
ble that there will be a convocation
of Holmes's accusers in Philadelphia
some time next week and that it will
then be decided who has the strongest
case against him, and arrangements
will be made for a requisition. Today
Detective Geyer said: “The Toronto
authorities are anxious to get Holmes.
I know they can prove the identity of
the Pitzel children whose bodies were
found in the celler of the house in
Henry street. The Texas people, I
mean the faction represented by At¬
torney Capps, of Fort Worth, can send
Holmes to the penitentiary for 20
years easily enough.
When asked what had been the re¬
sult of his search for the body of
Howard Pitzel in Indianapolis, Geyer
said: “Thus far there have been no
results, but I have not given up. I
think the boy’s body is buried some¬
where in Indianapolis.”
“Do you think either of the Wil¬
liams sisters is alive?”
“No. if either were alive Holmes
would not attempt to explain how one
of them was killed. If their blood was
not on his hands he would have no
story of blood to tell about either of
them.”
Chief of Police Badenoch left the
city tonight, saying he was going to
his summer home in Wisconsin and
would not return to Chicago until
next Monday. He has not been in the
habit of ging there, until Saturday
evening, and it is believed that he is
on his way to some other point to
verify evidence given by Mrs. Quin¬
lan against Holmes.
TIIE HOI,MEW CA-STLE.
It Has Been Placed in the Hands
of a Receiver.
By Southern Associated Press.
Chicago, Aug. 2.—Robert P. Walker
was-appointed receiver yesterday for
the Holmes “Castle” in Englewood,
which has become so notorious as the
scene of so many alleged murders. The
receiver was appointed in accordance
with the prayer of a bill filed by
Frank R. and Peyton R. Chandler, of
the real estate firm of Chandler & Co.,
who some time ago bought a master’s
certificate of the property from the
former owner, Wm. H. Rose, who will
be entitled to a deed ot the company
May 1, next, when the equity of re¬
demption expires, unless in the mean¬
time there is a redemption of the
property. Judge Horton entered an
order giving the receiver authority to
borrow money if necessary to put the
building in a tenantable condition and
to issue receiver’s certificates if he so
desires. The receiver is ordered to col¬
lect the rents and secure as much rev¬
enue from the property as he can.
The Tailor*' Strike Broken.
By Southern Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 2.—The backbone of
the tailors’ strike is broken. A ma¬
jority of the contractors in the city
have already signed the new agree¬
ment proposed by the strikers, and
about 7,000 strikers in this vicinity are
thus enabled to resume work. Meyer
Schoenfeld stated this morning that
the strike had been practically decided
in their favor, and could at most last
but a few days more.
“LABORING MEN
FAVOR SILVER.”
PRESIDENT OF THE STATE FEDER¬
ATION OF TRADE SPEAKS OPT.
HE CRIES OI T AGAINST THE GOLD
DPGS.
Says Tlinl Workingmen Have Lilt-
erlle* to Preserve.
Dallas, Tex., Aug. 1.—James Scott,
a leading Democrat politician and
president of the State Federation of
Labor has issued a call for a State
convention of all trades to meet at
Lampasas Aug. 2. This is the most
powerful organization of wage-work¬
ers in the State. The call says:
"You will be called upon to decide
wehther by your acquiescence you In¬
dorse the action taken by the present
national administration in sending the
Federal troops to overawe labor in
forcing it to accede to the unjust de¬
mands of concentrated capital,
while refusing to employ the army In
suppressing lawlessness in the Indian
Territory.
"You will be called upon to decide
whether you favor the bonding of
this country in perpetuity to the
money king of Europe.
"You will be called upon to decide
whether you favor the demonetization
of silver and indorse the subsequent
displacement of labor, which filled
the country within the past two years
with armies of idle men, willing to
work, for tvhom no work was to be
had; and above all you will be called
upon to decide as to what forms a
closer bond of union for the continued
preservation of all those principles
that are dear to the citizenship of
this country, among which are in¬
cluded the right of life and liberty.
“In order to resist the threatened
onslaught of capital it is imperative
that we should present a united front
to the advancing aggressiveness of
the enemy and without seeking an ap¬
peal to passion or to unduly arouse
bitter prejudices, I desire to say that
the laboring masses of this country
have homes to protect and wives and
families to preserve from the heart¬
less rigors of the cold commercialism
of the age that knows no distinction
between the right and wrong, and to
which the virtues are summed up In
the words—‘dollars.’ ”
President Scott said tonight:
“The Federation of Labor will take
a stand for free silver. We are all
Democrats and 'will make our fight for
silver in the Democratic party once
more.
"So far as Texas Democracy is con¬
cerned, silver will win.”
HATCH WAS POSING.
He Is Not a Confederate of Mar-
tlerer Holme*.
Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 2.—Hatch,
alias Allen alias Calidwell, alias Fogg,
alias Mascott, the convict doing time
in the Arkansas penitentiary and who
has been alluded to as one of the
right-hand confederates of Holmes, is
undoubtedly a huge fake, so far as
his having had any connection with
Holmes’s crimes is concerned, and it
is most probable that the police of
Memphis will be able to show that at
the time this man of many aliases
claims to have been operating with
Holmes in Texas, he was doing a term
in the penitentiary of Tennessee. His
first penitentiary sentence in this
State was for horse sealing and was
for 21 years, but he was pardoned and
at once resumed his old habits. He
is not at all the kind of man Holmes
would select for his confederate and
his travels have not carried him out¬
side of Tennessee and Arkansas.

Quarantine, Staten Island, Aug. 2.—
The United States cruiser Columbia ar¬
rived at Quarantine this morning ut
10:35 o’clock, after the most memorable
run at sea ever made by a war vessel.
The Columbia left Southampton July,
20, passing the Needles, from which
point her departure is reconed, at 2 p.
m., arriving at Sandy Hook lightship at
8:5!) this morning, making the run of
3,101) knots in six days, 23 hours and
4!t minutes. The daily runs were 405;
400; 473; 458; 455 ; 453 and 405. The
hourly speed averaged during the run
was 18.41 knots under natural draught.
Twenty-six hours of fog was experi¬
enced, hut this occasioned no delay.
The Columbia passed Sandy Hook at

THE TAYLOR’S FOUND GUILTY.
Tlie Audience Wildly Applauded llie
Verdict.
By Southern Associated Press.
Carrollton, Mo., Aug. 2.—After being
out two and one-half hours today, the
jury in the Meek’s murder case
brought in a verdict of guilty. The
clerk polled the jury and then read
the verdict: "We, the jury, find Wm.
P. and George Taylor guilty of mur¬
der in the first degree." The crowd be¬
gan to applaud vigorously and Wm.
Taylor half rose In his seat with a
look of terror in his eyes. The judge
and sheriff rapped for order; still the
crowd, cheered and the judge, rising
on the bench, shouted to the sheriff
to arrest any man that applauded.
The crowds gathered In the court
house square and on the streets and
discussed the verdict. All were jubi¬
lant. But one ballot W’as taken by
the jury. The defence at once pre¬
pared a motion for a new trial. It Is
said by attorneys for the State that
this will not be granted, because the
case W’as conducted so carefully as to
leave no ground for an appeal. Wm.
Taylor Is a banker at Browning, Linn
county, Missouri, and hls brother,
George, Is a farmer near Browning.
Both are married and accounted
w’ealthy. The crime of which they
stand convicted was the murder of Gus
Meeks, his wife and tw’O children, in
May, 1894. Meeks had, shortly before
the tragedy, been released from the
penitentiary, and was an Important
witrfess for the prosecution of the
Taylor brothers of an alleged fradu-
lent cattle transaction. On the night
of the murders of Meeks and family
were taken from their home in a
wagon by the two Taylors on the pre¬
text of sending them from the coun¬
try. The next morning the half-
burned bodies of Gus Meeks, hls wife
and two of their children were found
in a straw rack on George Taylor’s
farm. Nellie Meeks, aged 9, survived
her Injuries and gave the alarm that
sent the Taylor’s flying out of the
country on horseback. The subse¬
quent pursuit of the fugitives, I heir

Gill.II WITHDRAWALS.
Ail Additional Ijsg.IMM 1 .IMM 1 Is IH‘-
mantled.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 2.—’Treasury offi¬
cials were surprised thi# afternoon when
informed that a demand had been made
on the sub-treasury at New York for
a considerable sum of gold for export.
The amount exceeds two millions, and
opens up another gap which the Mor-
g«n-Belmont bend syndicate may feel
called upon to (ill. One milium was
called for by the Bank of Montreal, and
upwards of a million and a quarter by
the coffee importing houses. This with¬
drawal does not appear in the state
ment issued today, as tlie Treasury has
not l.een officially advised of the trans-
action. AecordTug to the official figures
issued at 2 o’clock this afternoon, the
reserve stands at $107,118,261, a loss
since yesterday of $118,261.
Acting Secretary Curtis says the with¬
drawal indicates nothing more than a
desire on the part of the American im¬
porters to pay their debts as they fall
due, 'lie export of gold at this season
being occasioned by the liquidation of
foreign accounts. The shipping of gold
to the Montreal bank is not, the .Secre¬
tary says, an unusual occurrence. That
bank has a large credit in New York,
and this call for gold, is, he thinks, on
account of a demand for settlement.
Assistant Secretary Curtis scouts at.
the idea of any attempted run on the
Treasury gold.
A STRIKE AVERTED.
Tlie Miners Get the Best 'of the
Com promise.
By Southern Associated Press.
Pittsburg, Aug. 2.—A compromise has
been effected and a strike of Western
Pennsylvania coal miners averted.
This morning’s session of the Miners’
convention was given up to a discus¬
sion of the propositions submitted by
a committee representing the coal
operators at yesterday afternoon’s ses¬
sion. The proposition had been placed
by the miners in the form of a reso¬
lution which extended the time until
Oct. 1; the wage rate in the interim
to remain at 60 cents per ton; after
that date, 6 cents in cash payments
and 69 cents where there are company
stores, or a coupon system is In exis-
tend*. TJk; resolution was adopted by
the convention, and the operators were
so notified, This morning the execu-
ttve committee of the operators’ asso¬
ciation met and ratified the resolution
as adopted by the Miners’ convention.
The operators’ proposition had named
Nov. 1 as the time for wage readjust¬
ment. Their acceptance of the min¬
ers’ date—Oct. 1—is a decided victory
for the latter.

Its I 1 11 i/.n t Ion for Power—It* Com¬
mercial Possibilities.
The New York Journal of Commerce
very aptly says that the daily product of
all the coal mines worked by man has
in it no greater 'possibilities for the pro-
ductlon of power than the force of the
water passing over the Falla of Niaga¬
ra Without borrowing more lhaii a
small fraction of lids tremendous store
of energy Ihe greatest aggregate of pow¬
er ever brought under one system of dis¬
tribution and control is now In 11s first
completed stage of Installation. There
Is no attempt to apply the energies of
nature to the uses of man which Is at¬
tracting throughout the civilized world
so much attention us this, and none on
which depend any such possibilities of in¬
dustrial developments, it is being watch¬
ed In Europe with even greater intent,
ness than here, for Europe is more con¬
scious than we are of the dangers of a
possible exhaustion of the coal fields, and
of the fate that must await a nation
found bankrupt of productive power. The
scale on which the experiment Is to be
made makes It differ not only In degree,
bul in kind from any that have preceded
it. For tin scope of the Niagara en¬
terprise in not bounded by merely local
demands for power, impressive as the ag¬
gregate of these may be. its promoters
aim at nothing less than making tribu¬
tary to their system of power distribu¬
tion the whole territory within too miles
radius of Niagara, containing about one.
fifth ef the population of (he United Stati*
Between this consummation and the sup¬
ply of the wants of industrial establish¬
ments grouped around the Falls, there is
an Interval as great in the progress of
electricity as an applied science as there
was in steam engineering bet wren the en¬
gine of Boulton & Watt and that of Cor¬
liss.
When the Niagara Falla Power Com¬
pany was first organized there was little
thought that Ihe transmission of Ihe en¬
ergy generated in its wheel-pits could
be effected by electricity. By 1890, that
bad Indeed come to be considered as a
commercial possibility, but there were
even then four rival methods lo choose
from, viz., that by nianlla or wire rope,
that by hydraulic pipes, that by com¬
pressed air. and that tiy electricity. In
one of a series of articles on this sub¬
ject to which “Cajasier’s Magazine” de¬
votes a special number, Mr. F. 1/. titel-
son says that In 189(1 he was advised that
[lower could be transmitted from Niagara
to Buffalo, not by electricity, but onlv
by compressed air, and that his adviser
was Mr. George WestlnghouKC. ll was
only in December, 1891, that Ihe Niagara
Company finally determined to Invite com.
pelitlve plans and estimates for the de¬
velopment of electrical power add its
transmission l/olh locally and at Buffalo,
And now cveryltody tvho thinks about the
conditions under which Niagara is being
harnessed to the service of man thinks
of It as the greatest of electrical experi¬
ments yet attempted, and looks to its
issue for a solution of some of the knot¬
tiest of the electrical problems that per¬
plex the present wild have in Ibefll the
most brilliant of possibilities for Ihe fu¬
lure.
And yet there Is a great deal both novel
and interesting In tihe power producing
plant and its Installation, remembering
that the original problem Ih how to con.
vert the flow of the Niagara River over
the falls into other forms of energy, and
one stage of the process becomes as lm-
port ant as another, Tlio engrossing In-
terest of the electrical stage is duo per¬
haps as much 'to tihe intangibility of some
of Its process as to their far-reaching re-
suit. But It is really somewhat of a
mechanical achievement lo have five
thousand horse-power delivered at Ihe
surface by a vertical shaft conned Ing
witlh a turbine wheel 140 fed underground.
The tunnel, Ihe wheel pit and the canal,
whloh are all essential adjuncts to Ihe
production of 250 revolution,-i per mlnule
of the shaft with Which title electrician
connects his dynamo, have been Ihe re¬
sults of some of Ihe highest develop¬
ments or engineering skill. The applica¬
tion of tlhe water power (o a wheel re¬
volving on a vortical axis, and with hear¬
ings calculated to sustain the weight of a
column of water 140 fed high, added to
the weight of a shaft of the same length
or height, and the armature of a dyna¬
mo set Oil top Of 'the shaft, represented
a problem of no ordinary complexity. In
these, as til other ddatln of lludr work,
the Negara Company have lad the benefit
of the last word that Ihe union between
science and mechanical ingenuity had lo
say about the task to which, with witch
remarkable resolution and foresight, they
have put their hand.
The immediate results wllhin I heir grasp
are of no slight magnitude. They include
the covering of a square mile of land
around the power house, with Industrial
tahlishmen'ts using Ihe power which they
are able to furnish cheaper than If coal
delivered free ait the mouth , of . ,. the
were house stands
furnace. The present power thousand horse,
ready to in i deliver fifteen
power electrical energy, with an ulti-
mate capaclty of fitly thousand horsc-
power. liui the problem which is of world
wide Interest Is, as s. Dana Greene puts
tt In one of the papers to which we have
referred, Whether the present, power house
with its ultimate capacity shall lie only
the beginning or the end of Ihe enterprise.
If the former, then ihe energy generated
at Niagara must successfully displace ex¬
isting power plants of all descriptions far
beyond the area of Buffalo even, and
“must, establish and prove its claim of
superior economy and of equal or superior
reliability and continuity of service.’’
Without extending the radius more, than
a hundred miles beyond Niagara as a
centre there are sixteen cities with a
population of 5,000 and over In which there
Is used about 144,000 horse power. Could
the radius he ext ended to 200 miles there
Is nearly 2,000,000 horse-power subject to
Niagara competition, and within 400 miles
of ihe cenlre there Is 2,750,000 horse.pow-
er. Thait to cover even the smallest, of
these three areas would require a tremend-
ous inltial pressure needs no demonstra¬
tion, and the hardest conditions of the
problem are thus stated by Mr. Greene:
“If the necessary voltage or pressure of
Ihe current Is so high, or if the pole lines
and conductors roust be of such a size
and so placed that the Insulation of Ihe
line cannot fie maintained, or danger to
human life cannot tie avoided by any rea¬
sonable precaution, then the transrnls-
sion cannot he considered practicable
commercially." Bul as the electrical para¬
dox of one year has sometimes proved
to he the commonplace of the next, and
as Tesla has only begun that subjugation
of the alternating current whose earliest
fruits have made It possible even to hope
for the greatest 'things from Niagara, this
Is a field of discussion In which one does
not readily use the word "Impossible."—
