ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., Aug. =
There was nothing talked about in this
city this morning except the stabbng
sensation in which Robert Ray Hamll-
ton figures so strangely. Around the
guarded cottage where the stabbng
occurred there was tremendous
crowd, and hundreds of persons stood
for hours gazing at the windows and
doors of the house, as if they sought
to learn something new from their
appearance. Atlantic City has never
had such a sensation before, and
throngs of Philadelphians and others
are here, discussing with relish every
bit of detail concerning the tragedy
which they can get hold of. Mary Ann

MRS HAMILTON IN COURT.

A hearing to-day in the case of Mrs.
Evangeline Hamilton developed several
new points which are detrimental to Mrs.
Hamilton. Justice Irving conducted the
examination. The prisoner, when
brought in, showed signs of great mental
distress and all during the proceedings
sat with her head bowed on the railing IN
front of her.
Robert Hamilton was the first witness.
He testified as to the discharge OF the
servant previous to the cutting and hest
tatingly admitted that the knife uSed
was in the hands of his wife at the time.
The witness gave his age as thirty-elght
butwas not questioned as to family rela-
tionship.
Policeman Biddle, who arrested Mrs.
Hamilton, stated that the latter told
him on the way to the station house that
she did it IN self defense.
DR.. w. G. Crosby, who attended the
injured woman, showed the nature Oh the
wounds. at the same time stating that
the patient was in a very critical condl-
ton. This testimony caused the prison
er to exhibit renewed signs of nervous
ness, and 1t was the only time she raised
her head since entering the court room.
IMPORTANT TESTIMONY.
The testimony of Police Sergeant
Loader was more important. He stated
that Just before placing Mrs. Hamilton
in the cell yesterday he asked If she had
committed the deed and she admitted 1t,
saving she had used white handled DIRK
knife. and that in her excitement she
had thrown it on the bed or IN the closet,
she did not know where. The weapon
was afterwards found in the closet.
This concluded the testimony, and
Judge Irving remanded the accused TO
prison at Nays Landing without bail to
await the result of the injuries OF Nurse
DonnelIy. She was taken to jail TINS
afternoon. Robert Ray Hamilton was
! held in 5000 bail, which he endeavored to
secure under the surveillance of detec-
tfvc7. The high standing of Hamilton
| has made the affair one Of great interest,
and intense excitement has been caused
by the attempts of some to prove the man
is not Robert Ray Hamilton, which have
ts4IFaReGsf itile. Justice Irving has PROOF

held to the belief he was alive, and on the
seventh day he rose up and was himself
again. This, Mrs. Bishop said, was when
he was q boy, and he had had several sim
liar experiences since. She further said he
had a horror of the surgeons knife while
in these frances, and always carried pa
per about his person explaining this feeling.
She said she saw this paper with him an
hour before he lett Philadelphia on the
fatal evening. Although she came Cd at
once, when notified of his illness, they
would not let her see him, but said the
ment they would cut him with their knives
before they would let her see him. She
argued with them, but to know purpose
and said, ''he is simply in a trance, and
they do not understand his case" Tues
day morning l was brought TO the under
takers and there showed the body of my
murdered boy.
MISS Ida Orme Jones, who has known
Bishop for fifteen years, told of a trance of
Bishgp where the physicians pronounced
him dead, and his recovery half an hour
after he had been laid out, DIR. Briggs cor
roborated Mrs. Bishops testimony as TO his
attendance on her son in 1873. and stated the
doctors who were with him had pronounced
him dead, though he would not be con-
vinced, having had charge of a similar case.

Discovery OF a Plot in New Jersey for Big
Jail Delivery.
JERSEY CITY, y. j., May Pa plot
was uneArthed to-day for the general de-
livery of convicts confined In the Hudson
county Jail at Snake Hill The attention
of two deputy wardens had been attracted
by the suspicious conference OF five long
term prisoners, and a search was made of
the cells occupied by the cOnvicts. The
investigation resulted in the discovery of
nineteen files, six knives, five saws, ten
drills, pair of eOmpasses and other arti-
cIes. The files were smuggled into the
prison from the outside and the other tools
were made by a convict blacksmith now at
liberty. A set of keys made Of lead found
in the pocket Of one OF the cOnVicts would
have readily opened the doors of the cells
and that of the corridor. The men were at
once put in close confinement and for
some time will subsist on bread and water.
Other prisoners are believed to be impli-
Gated and searching inVestig alton is now
in progress.

ST. Louis, May 2A-The westbOund
train on the ST. Louis x San Francisco rail-
road was wrecked seventy miles west Of
ST. Louis last night. Not passenger es-
capped unhurt, and forty-fiye are known TO
have been seriously hurt, though no deaths
are yet reported. The train was running
at light rate of speed, when suddenly
without warning the track gave way and
the locomotive, baggage car and i've
coaches went over the embankmenL The
train men and those only slightly injured
at once started to prevent the additional
horror Of fire, in which they succeeded.
They then turned their attention to the
more seriously injured, and in a short time
fOrty-fve passengers ali badly hurt, had
been released from the debris. A tempo
rary hospital was impTOvised az Sullivan
and the most seriously injured taken there,
while the others were brought 70 st. Louis
on a special train. When the accident Oc-
CURED most OF the passengers were asleep.
There is curve in the road at the scene OF
the accident and creek is crossed on q
thirty foot embankmenf.
Train men arrived heAe say spikes and
fish plates had been removed for the evil
dent purpose of wrecking the train, and
the suppOsitlOn Is il was done by train rob-

Bank Teller and Cashier In New

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 24.-John e.
Bradley, cashier of the Merchants National
bank, is said TO have been under the sur
yeillanee of officers at his residence al Fair
Haven for week. He is charged with
embezzlement. The loss may reach $780,
0OO
The president of the bank issued a card
this afternoon saying certain irregularities
had been discovered involving the cashier
and teller; that there will probably be con-
siderable loss 20 the bank, which will not
however, impair its capitol. The president
subsequently said he did not think the
surplus of the bank 500, ,0O0) would be lost,
and hoped shortage would not exceed half
that amount. IL is understood Teller Pal
mer is interested in manufacturing a pat
ent medicine, and one story current is to
the effect that he advanced considerable
money 70 extend His business and
being unable to meet his payments, tided
the matter over by discounting notes for
his partners, for whom he had borrowed
money. The practice was discovered by
Cashier Bradley, 1t q said, but Palmer in
duced him 20 keep quiet, promising to take
up the notes when they became due Fail
ing to do this, other notes were discounted
until the cashier and teller became deeply
involved and were compelled To keep quiet
for their own safety. The general opinion
tonight is the affair is much worse than
the bank officers care 70 admit.

NEW YORK, May 2A-In the general as

A Livery stable Destroyed and Seventeen

BozEMAN. May 24-[Special 20 the Inde-

cry stable of Vaughn Bros this morning st
o'clock. The alarm was given, but an at
tempt 10 save any Of the horses or buggies
was futile, as the whole interior OF the
large stable was ablaze. Two men sleep
ing IN the barn barely escaped with their
lives, and thirteen head of horses were in
cinerated. The proprietors OF the stable
lose IS. 800, Sl,7OO Of which had just been
covered by insurance, through RAmsey's
local agency. The wind was blowing but
slightly from an easterly direction, thus
carrying the flames TO a vacant lot, away
from the residence of Chas. Hoffman and
the Chronicle office. Seven OF the horses
were owned by the proprietors, the others
belonging opTivate parties. The propritors,
who have the mail contract, were up and
around the barn an hour before, but say
that they were not smoking, nor did they
have a fire. 1t looks very much like incen-
diArism, inRsmuch as there has been an
alarming frequency of fires In wooden
buildings of late. The fire was unusually
furious, and must have originated upon
the inside or in the rear, where il could not
be seen by the night wAtchmsn OF pAssers-
