The Leo Probably Blown up.


 CLEVELAND, Sept. 19-The body of an- other of the missing yacht Leos victims was discovered on the lake shore short distance west of this city this morning. It proved to be that of John Fellow, aged 21 years, of Lorraine. Pelow's clothing had been badly burned and gave conclusive evidence that the Leo had been blown up. There is now no doubt that all were lost.
 In Memory of a Joyful Occasien at
 Short Beach.
 A very pleasant social occasion took place at the residence of Councilman and Drug- gist John W. Lowe, 107 Ward street, last evening, when this popular city father was presented with an elegantly and richly up- holstered large easy chair by a committee of his colleagues of the board of counc1lmen as a slight token of their esteem and of their appreciation of the admirable dinner. recep- tion and accompanying festivities given by Mir. and Mrs. Lowe at their cottage at Short Beach recently. An admirable presentation speech was made by President Chandler of the board and felicitously responded to by Mr. Lowe, and Councilman Moran gave some very happy remarks. Music and song added to the pleasures of the evening. There were excellent violin solos by Albert E. Richter and Herman Glaessner, and a song was charmingly rendered by Mrs. Butricks, wife of Professor Butricks. A fine banquet was served the guests. Short Beach memories and "reminiscences were recalled as the abun- dant menu was discussed, and formed 8 basis for many sallies of wit and humor, the out ing at the beach being remembered by all as most pleasant episode in their oouncilmanio life as city fathers of New Haven. All great ly enjoyed the occasion and separated with many good wishes for their host and hostess. Among those present were: Prof. Chandler, Prof. and Mrs. Butricks, Alderman Sheridan, Lawyer Moran, Lawyer Asher. Councilman Kirchoff, Mir. and Mrs. J ohn Champion, MT. and Mrs. Stephen Thacher of Ward street, Mir. and Mrs. A. R. Harris, MT. Albert Brown, son of Captain Brown, MT. and Mrs. Fred Watterson.

A HORROR IN QUEBEC.

 Thousands of Tons of Rock Slide From Cape Diamond-Many Corpses and sixteen Persons Badly Injured and MaDgled.
 QUEBEC, Sept. 19.-At o'clock tonight several thousand tons of rock slid from Cape Diamond at the end of Duferin Terrace to
 Champlain street, three hundred feet below. Up to the present hour (11:30 p. m.) there
 have been six bodies taken from the ruins yiz,, Thomas Farrell and two of his children, also two children named Burke and one un- known child. Farrells mother n-law, Mrs. About twenty-five persons have been remov- ed from the debris badly injured. Some have broken arms and legs, others are badly
 crushed and mutilated. It is suppo aed that
 at least fifty persons are yet under the ruins. Battery B, fire brigade and police force are on the ground rendering valuable assist ance. All the wounded who were removed from the ruins were conveyed to the marine and fisheries department where medical men and clergymen looked after them. The debris covers the road in solid mass for some 300 feet and 15 to 20 feet high. It is impossible to say at present how many are dead and wounded. Everyone is working heroically and under difficulties, as the night is intensely dark. The electric light wires have been prostrated.
 Cries of "Helpi Helpi'' are heard from beneath the debris, but no help can be given. Very little progress is made in recovering bodies owing to the stupendous mass of rock
 covering the ruins. The body of 8 woman
 named Mrs Berrigan has just been pulled out 1 of the debris. More rocks are falling and il | Is feared that the whole boulder forming the
 highest point of Quebec will give way. QUEBEC, Sept. 20, 1:30 8. m.-The mass oi rock detached from the cliffs side left va cant space of extraordinary dimensions under | Dufferin Terrace, and that great promenade ! is new unsafe. Ten corpses and sixteen wounded have now
 been taken out. It will take several days te recover all the bodies.
 l The damage will exceed $100, ,000. 1 The houses in that locality were built O.
 stone and brick and inhabited by ship labor ] CTS, etc.
 The officers and men of the Royal Schoo of Cavalry are coming to the rescue witl ropes, picks and shovels. About 600 mel | are now at work.
 1 Later-Three more bodies have just beer taken from the ruins. The bodies are GOV
 cred with coagulated blood and dust and ar
 @ siokening spectacle to behold.
 The Redemptionist Fathers are among tn | rescuers.

THAT SENSATIONAL STORY

Falsity of the Story About Le Caron,. Daughters Evidence In Regard to the Crime.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-The Times says In ref erence to the sensational story printed in yes- terday's papers about Le Caron's daughter having furnished evidence that Dr. Cronin was murdered by emissaries of the British government as plot of the so-called "trian. gle:"
 Another scheme on the part of the de. fence, and one which has in view nothing less than the absolute clearing of the Cronin sus- poets and the creation of public sentiment in their behalf, was sprung on the public yes terday. In boldness of design it is quite equal to that of the stupendous conspiracy that murdered Dr. Cronin. How or from what source came the first intimation of what the character and nature of the Cronin defence was to be nobody knows. But suddenly and simultaneously in all the afternoon papers there appears plan of defence so skilfully told as to blind the average reader and make him believe that this craftilY devised story is reality"
 The Tribune prints an interview with Hr. George K. May, who is supposed to have been Miss Le Caron's correspondent. He says: "I have turned over no letters to Mr. Forrest or any living soul. If have received any letters from Miss Le Caron or anyone else referring to the Cronin case or to anyone connected with it in the remotest way, you may cut off every finger of my right hand.".
 "B1t didn't you take buggy ride with Mike Coughlina Isn't there that much foun- dation for his story at least4'
 "In answer to that question want to say that I don't associate with such men," he said. 'tI am an American. not a Clan-na- Gael. So far I an concerned-and in speaking for myself speak for the May fam ily-the whole Clan-na- Gael Society ought to
 be at the bolton of Lake Michigan. don't
 want anything to do with it, and 1t can't make use of me-"
 "Why, the story isn't any good, supposing
 it were true," laughed Judge Longenecker,
 referring to the Le Carons letters. ''The letters are utterly inadmissable as evidence.
 And then, if they were not, does that ex- plain away the guilt of the defendants herei If Coughlin secured the white horse to drive the doctor to his death, how does this story excuse hims Why should Bourk, who hired the Carlson cottage, escapea It is preposter- ous story and utterly useless as defence"

MRS. HAMILTON CONVICTED.

 The Jury Return a Verdict of ssGuilty
 as Indlcteds'-NIrs. Hamilton Falls In
 Swoon on the FIoor-A Dramatic
 Scene In the Court.
 MAY's LANDING, N. J., Sept. 19.-After the court opened at 10:45 this morning, and it was learned that Mrs. Hamilton could not be present on account of illness, Captain Perry, counsel for the defence, began his ar gument. He said he hoped the jurors would frame their verdict according to the resti- mony, independent of the newspaper re- ports or other influences. He reviewed the circumstances that led up to the assault, and argued that the testimony showed clearly Mary Ann Donnelly, the nurse, was the first aggressor, and that she forced Mrs. Hamil- ton to pick up the knife in self-defense. She had threatened to kill her mistress; she was bad tempered and frenzied with brandy, and she assaulted Mrs. Hamilton with murderous intent.
 Was Mrs. Hamilton justified in striking the blow in self-defences Is there anyone in this room placed as Mrs. Hamilton was on the bed in the clutches of the drunken nurse, who would not take similar opportunity to pro- tect their life2 Gentlemen of the jury, con- sider well the facts in this case and give my poor forsaken client the full benefit of the aggravating circumstances which compelled her to commit the act for which she is held.
 Professor Thompson proceeded to disseet the testimony from the State's standpoint. He dwelt upon the proposed separation be- tween Hamilton and his wife, and of the proposed money consideration of 5000 or $e,0OO, how she demanded more and had placed price on her marriage relations. He said that both Hamilton and his wife repeat edly contradicted themselves while on the witness stand, and that their testimony was tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end, that Mir. Hamilton's life would probably have been taken were it not for the timely entrance of the nurse, Don nelly, and that Mrs. Hamilton was fortu- nate woman in not being here to-day to an- swer a charge of murder instead of atrocious assault, and closed by urging the jury to find her guilty of the latter offence. Judge Reed then addressed the court until 1:45 when he charged the jury.
 The jury after being out an hour and a quarter came in at 3:15 and returned a yer, diet of ''guilty as indicted" Mrs. Hamilton was led into the court room by Sheriff John son, and when the foreman of the jury de- clared the verdict she fell in 8 swoon on the floor. It was most dramatic scene, and brought tears to almost every eye in the court room. She was sentenced to two years sy,e eko fo1o

vILLARD,S ACTION
severely Criticised at a Meeting of the

 Northern Pacific Railroad Direc- tors.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-At the regular monthly meeting of the Northern Pacific railroad directors to-day there was some criti- cism of Henry Villard's action in publishing request for proxies and defining the objects to which the funds to be raised by the pro- posed $160, ,000, 900 mortgage are to be ap- piled. MT. Willard disclaimed any disrespect Tor the board, and said he would withdraw the publication. The directors then adopted an official request for proxies and detailed statement of the purposes of the new bonds. These differ considerably from those named by MT. Willard. For instance, only SIG, ,0OO,- GOO is allowed for premiums on bonds and the amount set aside for dividends on preferred stock is left open for the consideration of special committee. It is in fact an open question whether the preferred stockholders will get anything. The directors said after adjournment that it would require complete unity in the board to obtain the required three-fourths vote of the preferred stockhold- CTS in favor of the new mortgage.
