Details of the Tragedy.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The Herald this
morning has a special from Atlantic City,
giving the following details of the Hamil-
5on tragedy;
AS the guests were seating themselves
about the dining tables at fashionable
cottage on Tennessee avenue. at noon to-
day, they were startled by the cries of a
woman and the smashing Of furniture on
the second floor. The whole neighborhood
heard the cries and large crowd of excited
men and women gathered about the build
iug. One of the walters ran to the second
door and had courage to kick in the door
Leading TO the apartments of Mr.. and Mrs
Hamilton, of New York, whence the sounds
proceeded. The picture he beheld was a
p tragic one. A handsome man, very much
excited, was in the middle Of the elegantly
furnished room, trying TO calm and
hold an enraged woman who was
struggling for her release. She held
blood-stained dagger in her right hand. A
good looking Irish girl lay across the floor
IN a pool of blood, and baby eight months
old was laying on bed. The man was
Robert r. Hamilton; the sperate-looking
woman was his wife; the babe was their
only child, and the victim, lying on the
door with her intestines protruding from a
wound, was Mary Donnelly, awet-nurse who
-VhaQ D6eu WIFI inc couple some mOuLuS.
The woman was still alive, but the doctors,
who were soon called in, said there was lit
tie hope of her recovery.
The story of the ARRAY and people con-
nected with it is a sensational one Robert
R. Hamilton, who was for eight years a
member of the New York legislature from
Murray Hill district, is the son of General
Schuyler Hamilton, one of the leaders of
New York's four hundred, and a great
grandson of Alexander Hamilton He is a
member of the New York bar, and has a
large income which he spends lavishly upon
himself and friends.
The story of his courtship and marriage
is as remarkable as the story of to-day's
tragedy is thrilling. Hamilton was for
Ismany years a lion in New York society
circles, butlike many of his associates he
soon became a frequenter of houses of a
questionable character In one of these he
net and became infatuated with the woman
whom he afterwards married and who is
likely TO have the charge of murder en-
tered against her as her victim, DR.. Crosby

FROM OGDEN.
Steps to be Taken Towards Building the
New Hotel.

Steps to be Taken Towards Building the
New Hotel.
OGDEN, Utah, Aug 27.-[Special to THE
HERALD. IA meeting of Ogden's represen-
tatiye men was held in the chamber of COM
MERGE this evening, with President
Preshaw in the chair. Mr.. C. Coonley, re-
presenting Indiana capitalists, said that if
the city would give him the northwest cor
ner of Union square Zone eighth of the
block he would submit proposition to
build hotel and opera house, to cost
$3.50, 900, otherwise he had no proposition to
make. A. H. Nelson favored the PROPOSE
ton and was satisfied the title could be got
to the ground. H. w. Smith was posi-
tive that no title could be got before Janu-
airy, If then. Cannon moved committee
of five be appointed to receive propositions
and report to the chamber. Smith Offer
an amendment that the chair appoint a
committee of five to canvas the town ard
report how much money could be raised o
incorporate the hotel. Mr.. S. F. Spencer
had given the subject much thought, and
was positive the hotel must be built with
foreign capital. He represented a party
from Colorado Springs who has been here
and looked over the ground and made him
propositions. He would telegraph them
for definite proposition. Smith with
drew the amendment, as satisfied pro-
position would be made Immediately to
build on the southeast corner.
Mr.. A. B. Patton gave history of some
Denver hotels, and would rather see two
than one hotel here. Salt Lake has no adj
vantage over Ogden, and is in no way
equal, yet they have far better hotel facili-
ties. The Interstate company was run
ming excursions at great expense, yet could
not hold them here owing to a lack of hotel
accommodations. The town was grow
ing, and soon the southeast corner
would be as good as the northwest. If the
CT ty will give US the southeast corner, we
will build hotel there to cost not less than
! S100, 900. 1t is not wise to have a couple of
hotel and opera house propositions If any
one will combine both, they will withdraw
their proposition.
Mr.. H. W. Smith put the following reso-
luton:
Be it resolved by the meeting that the
city council be requested to sell the south
port to the chamber at the next meeting
| Judge Preshaw next suggested a
| special meeting of the city council
| be called to give an expression on
the subject A H. Nelson moved substi-
tute for Smiths resolution. When the
meeting adjourn to meet at the federal
court house at S'clock to morrow night,
when the question of division of the Union
square will be discussed Accepted by
Smith. Cannon wanted definite PROPOSE
tion made to the city council so that they
could take poeitive action on the question.
Carried. A committee consisting of ].
| Cannon, G, r Hank, A. H. Nelson, j. J.
sullivan, E. A. Reed was appointed, after
which the meeting adjourned.

A WALL STREET CLIQUE.
Holding $2O,OOO,OOO of Government Bonds to
Create Stringency in the Money Market.


Especial to THE HERALD.-Examiner Dispatch ]
NEW YORK, Aug. "A band of specu-
lator in Wall street. bought S20,00O,OOO in
government bonds some months ago and
have been holding them ever since in the
hope that Secretary Window in order to
relieve the usual TALL stringency of the
money market would have to come to their
terms and pay exhorbitant prices. Accord
ing to the most expert calculation unless
they succeed in unloading their holdings
upon the secretary at their own price, they
stand in great danger of being left in the
lurch. They have left no stone unturned
in their endeavor to create an artificial
stringency in money, but there is wide
spread notion in Wall street circles that
the clique has reached the end of it's
tether. Sterling exchange is falling, and
there are indications of being an export
movement of cereals soon and correspond
ing promise of imports of gold. This
makes the position of the clique a pitiful
one. Intelligent bankers are of the opinion
thai Window has it on the hip, and that he
will, if he holds out,secure their speculative
holdings at his own figure. These same
men are reported to have cornered S17 ,0O0,-
900 of bonds during Fairchild's administra-
ton, and when they offered to sell the
bonds to the government at Sl.3O, Fairchild
declined to allow the government to be
bled in any such way. Now they ara try
ing the same game with the Republican
officials, although they have come off a
trifle in their price and ara willing to part
with their holdings at s1.29. WINDOWS
upset price for government bonds has been
S1.2S, and higher than that he has stead
lastly refused to pay. 1t now begins to
look as though this clique would have to
take the secretary's price or be stuck with
this large amount of bonds on their hands.
Ever since the rate,for money commenced
to advance the public has been looking to
the treasury for relief, but now it trans
pires that handful of INSCRIPTIONS spec
ulators have in measure tied the secre-
tary's hands while they have endeavored
to enrich themselves at the expense of the
publi,; treasury. Most of these men are
Republicans who gave funds to help re
place the Republican party in power.

Fire at Columbus. Ohm.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 27.-The factory
building occupied by the Columbus Chair
company, building occupied by the
Columbus and Baltimore works and large
warehousein the Ohio penitentiary, were
burned this evening. Loss, SlOO,00O On
account of the lack of water and high
wind it seemed for long time that the
flames would devastate the space inside
the prison walls which was crowded with
factory buildings.
The scenes at the penitentiary were ex-
citing. The prisoners were locked in their
cells but the lights had not been put out
and the greatest CONSERVATION prevailed.
Thousands of people assembled outside the
walls and watched the confiagration The
greatest CONSERVATION also prevailed among
those working inside the walls Adjoining
the chair factory were the gas works.
Many cubic feet of gas were scorched by
the flames and an explosion was momen
tarily expected, but fortunately averted.

The Funny Part.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Elf unofficial ru-
mors which have reached the state depart
ment are confirmed, it will give almost a
comical effect to the angry remonstrance of
Canadians against the operations of the
revenue cutter Rush in the Behring sea.
The story is to the effect that the steam
sealer Black Diamond, the first vessel
seized this year, is owned in a large degree.
if not entirely by citizens of the United
States. This information. came to the de-
partment incidentally while inquiry was
being made into the statement that the
United States vice consul at Victoria was
interested largely in some eff the colonial
vessels illegally sealing in Behring sea,
which statement so far has not been Off
cially confirmed.
