The Hacrtel tragedy still remains as
much Of "A mystery as it did the day that
it was discovered. save that the Coroner's
jury has charged the murder upon Jonas
Jackson and Thomas Hamilton. The
public is not satisfied. however,
that these alone are the authors
Of the crime, and it seems the officers
believe too that others are impli-
Gated Since the verdict was rendered
skilled detectives have been engaged on
the case. and it j. stated that important
clues have been obtained connecting
other parties with the Ofense. Jackson
and Hamilton both maintain stout de-
NAL Of their guilt, and disclaim any
knowledge of how the deed was commit
ted. Public excitement has sub
sided and meanwhile the off
GERS are shrewdly at work trying
10 penetrate the mystery and clear up the
case. The circumstances surrounding
the murder made il difficult to get at
leading clues, but with the skill and
shrewdness that is now being bent
to unrayel the affair, definite and salts
factory results are looked for at an early
daY.

Mrs. w. H. Vanderbilt drives her own
carriage at Saratoga, and handles the
reins well.
The Grand Union at Saratoga has a
frontage Of 500 feet and depth Of 700. 1t
accommodates 1000 guests and seats
1,20O at once in its dining room.
Very few, if any, of the cottage people
have as yet departed from Long Branch,
and many, sitting before the fire and
wearing wraps, say they will not 90 home
until October.
There are .'sOciety" women in New

1t has cost about 81, 800 "a day to run"

Newport few days ago in a yellow satin
dress, over which was a robe made of no
less than ten different kinds Of white lace.
1t was very unique costume. and af-
fOrded material for an amount of small
talk.
Saratoga becomes more quiet every
day. The hotel band and many of the
fashionable people have gone and super
hu0ls servants have been allowed TO de-
part. But the village has lost none of its
natural attractions, and the waters flow
on just as if the place was crowded.
Ancient glories have really been revived
this year at the famous Virginia White

by more people than at any time since
