Inspectors Confession.

Inspectors Confession.
New YORK, Feb. 10.-No additional
bodies were found in the ruins of the
hotel Royal today, and it is announced
tonight that every particle of debris has
been gone over, and if any more lives
were lost the bodies must have been
entirely consumed.
Building Inspector Seton this after
noon confessed that he had per-
jured himself and made false reports in
regard to the fre-escapes on the hotel
Royal, which recently burned down.
Over year ago the owners of the build
ing were ordered to put escapes on
their building, and Seton reported that
the order was obeyed. 1t now trans
pires that his report was false, and that
the escapes were never put in place.

Mr.. Hagal's idea is to establish an air
line, as it were, between Californian points
and the Worlds Fair.
The motive power OF the professors ship,
as will be seen by the accompanying cut, con-
sists of sails. steam and gas, and IL this
combination will not plow through the air
the professor would like to have some one
suggest something that will.
OF course the gas is not expected to do
any of the blowing. lt is simply included
in the repertoire TO give the required buoy
ance to the ship and its attachments, which
will weigh in the neighborhoOd Of six tons.

the vitals of the machine is the balloon.
II is so feet in length, and when filled
with gas will hoist the whole outfit into the
ether with ease. It will either do that or
break the professor up in business.
From the lower side of the balloon is sus-
pended a car about 35 feet long fitted with
iiving-rooms. gasroom, engine-room, swear
ing-rO0m and room for argument FOR skep
ties who refuse TO be convinced that aerial
navigation Is assured.
There are also windows on each side of
the car from which the passengers can spit

tween here and Chicago. Three powerful
spiral springs, % feet in length, project
from the bottom OF the car, the idea being
to let the passengers down easy when they
arrive at the depot or dock, whichever the
professor decides TO name the stations.

Should the engine break down he can fall
back on the sails, and when the wind is
favorable both steam and sails could be
brought into play and the arship pose as

Hagal is seaman enough to navigate both
sides of his novel ship, but he thinks the
strain on his nervous system would be too
great
On this account he intends to hire skip

men TO run the upper works, while he stays

A HUSBAND In THE WAY.
Mrs. Kate Grogan's Trying
Dilemma.
HER HAND.GRIP MARRIAGE.
An Oakland Case That Finds a Denouem snt
in the Records of the City and County
Clerks Office.

The records of the County Clerks office
in this city shed peculiar light on the
Grogan-Dulcich case, now pending in the
Oakland courts.
Mrs. Grogan recently sued Luigi Dulcicb.
from whom she was divorced in 1889, for
division of the alleged community property.
Dulcich is worth $4,000. and it is to get
one-half of this property that Mrs. Grogan
brings action.
In her amended complaint fled on Tues
day Mrs. Grogan claims that she was mar
ried in 1881, to Luigi Dulcich, by mutual
consent.
The ceremony consisted OF Dulcich TAX
ing her by the hand and saying, In the pres
ence of her father and stepmother:
81 take you as my wife. and will take care
of you and provide for you all your life."
Mrs. Grogan responded by saying: 81
take you for my husband"
The complaint then states that both par
ties regarded themselves as married.
In her complaint Mrs. Grogan admits that
she was the wife of Terrence Grogan of
Arcata.
She states, however, that in 1881, and pre-
vious to her marriage with Dulcich, she
heard that he was dead. She had left him in
1867 in accordance with a mutual agreement
to separate.
However. on January 2, 1884, three years
after her reported marriage with Dulcich,
Mrs. Grogan filed an action praying for a
divorce from Terrence Grogan. This action
is numbered ii, ,462, and was brought on the
ground of failure to provide.
In her complaint, which was filed by
Attorney Wickliffs Matthews, Mrs. Grogan
claimed that her husband was a seafariDg
man, and that in 1879 she last heard from
him in Callao. to which place he had gone.
She journeyed after him, but upon her
arrival there she discovered that lie had de-
parted for parts unknown.
She apparently prosecuted the divorce
with considerable vigor. Judge Edmunds.
who was the Superior Judge. had the evil
dence in the case taken before commits
sioner.;
The matter was In state to be acted
upon by the court, when for some peculiar
reason Mrs. Grogan had the case dismissed.
1t is believed that Mrs. Grogan was well
aware of how matters stood when in 1881
she consented TO become the wife of Dulcich.
The outcome of this marriage is three
children, who though being minors, will
doubtless make claim by guardian TO OBJ
tain provision for their suppOrtfrom Dulcch.

A rather large-sized crowd watched the
second game of ball between the CoIonels
and the men from San jose at the Pied
mont bail grounds yesterday afternoon.
The conditions for ballplaying were much
more favorable than on the previous day.
The sun was out and there was very little
wind stirring.
The Oaklands quickly took the lead by a
gain of two runs in the first inning and
kept it throughout the entire game.
HorDer twlrled the sphere for the

for the Dukes.
The game throughout was more satisfac-

sidedness Of the result, than the one played

Horner struck out one of the Dukes men
who seemed little ball blinded, and Looka-

No runs were scored by the Colonels

The ColOnels piled up four runs in the
seventh inning, and at one time it seemed
asthough they were never going to quit.
The score then stood to nothing, and it
was apparent that nothing but a miracle
could save the men from San Jose from a
clean shut-out
In the ninth inning McQuade, Hutchin-

managed to make just one run that inning.

aerial navigation, and If somebody fur

ton to make the round trip to and from the
Worlds Fair in less than three days.
The professor mas devoted the greater
part of his thinking time to the project dur
ing the past two years, and has the plans
and specifications OF the ships in his room
at pa Sixth street.
For the past twenty-three years Mr..
Hagal-the only Hagal according to the
billS-has made speciality of hanging by
his heels to the trapeze bar attached TO a
balloon and then winding up the thrilling
performance by falling gracefully out OF the
sky from an altitude of mile or two.
While falling he was given ample oppor-
tunity TO study air currents. atmospheric
conditions and many other things pertaining
to the balloon and parachute business.
Coupled with his knowledge OF mechanics
and marine matters this experience in the
ozone has enabled the professor to invent
the only practical airshp ever thought OF.
He thought of the scheme himself, but
