Mystery OF the vats.

CHICAGO, Aug..l.-Experiments were
made yesterday with the liquid found in
the bottom Of the vat in the cellar OF
Holmes house. and 1t was found that
whenever mixed with benzine or kerosene
1t would emit vapor so deadly that no
human being could live in 1t. Whether or
not Holmes used the vapor for suffocating
his victims is not known, but the police
are inclined TO favor such theory.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1-Another link in tho

noch.
He said he was hired by man named
Allen (otherwise known as Hatch) to go
to Fort Worth, Tex. At the time he was
engaged he said he had only one days ac-
quaintance with Allen, and on the follow
ing day he started for Fort Worth. Quin-
Ian had previously claimed that he had no
knowledge OF any crimes committed by
Holmes although he had admitted that In
Fort Worth he met and knew aman called
Mascot" Now that Allen and Mascot"
are practically proven to be one and tho
same man, Qulnlan's contradictory stories
have placed him in still worse light
with the police
That Mrs. Qunlan, the wife OF the
janitor who is supposed to know so much
about the misdecds OF Holmes, made a
partial confession to the police yesterday
Is almost certain.
At an early hour the two principal in
vestigators of the case went to the Harri-
son street station. where Mr.. and Mrs
Ouinlan have been confined, taking with
them "A stenographer. Chief Badenoch de-
clared that nothing had transpircd which
he could give to the press without injur-
ing the police status of thS case.
He admitted that QuiInan broke down
completely and wept like a child, but
denied that he had said anything which
would implicate either himself or Holmes
In the murders laid at their doors.
"Mrs. Quinlan was very much affected"
said Chief Badenoch. "She not only wept
throughout the whole interview, which l
need not say was unusually severe, but
she said, Il call on God to witness that l
know nothing more of the murder than I
have already told. If Pat says l know
anything more about 1t he simply lies,
that's all. 4"
This remark was called out by the de-
coy statement made to her that her hus-
band had confessed everything. At least
this is the story the police told, but it is
believed from the whole circumstances of
the interview that much more was said
than the inquisitors cared to give out
"We shall not go to Little Rock at ALL"
said Inspector Fitzpatrick. "We are going
to bring Hatch here, IL possible. We can
not bring him on requisition, as he is al
ready confined on an offense Of which he
had been convicted. but think we can get
him here on parole"

Some two or three hundred Raleigh

at the pig tailed people from Pekin.
And the wearers of the queues seemed
to think the white people and negroes
quite as great curiosities as they were

There were 268 Chinese on the train
that brought them over the Seaboard

them on to Atlanta. There were forty
two women and twenty five children
The women are fairly good looking,
with their hair done up in nets, narrow
ribbons of various cOlors being wrapped
around the coils at the back OF their
heads. They appear to be very lntelI-

at the proverbial sewing circle. The
children are bright little creatures with
coal black eyes that sparkle and flash
from their almond shaped sockets.

that was ever in North Carolina, and

along the route. TIE train was IN

The troubles Of this crew of Chinese
is not over by any means. They were
let into the country on probation. Now
the question is, will they be allowed to
stay? 1t seems that they got into the
United States without the consent of the
authorities at Washington.
The Associated Press last night sent
out the following telegram:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 13--The
Secretary of the Treasury to day sent a
telegram to the Collector of Customs at
Ogdensburg, n. Y, directing him not to
admit any of the Chinese recently landed
at Vancour en- route to the Atlanta Ex-
position. There is reason for the belief
that this is an attempt to defraud the
government aud secure the admission of
a large number of Chinese who are not
actors, and seek this method of gaining
admission into the United States"

winch she got letter from him three
days later, very loving and cheerful,
telling how, his landlord being car
penter, he did amuse himself nightly
at his old trade in the workshop and
was all agog for learning to turn wood

make her set of eggcups against her|

the number of her friends multiplying

now that 81, 900 old Simon had promis-

it as quickly as possible by furnishing
herself with all sorts of rich gowns and
appointments, which is as pretty d.
version of melancholy from young wo-
mans thoughts as any. And so ! think
1 need dwell no longer on this head.
About the beginning of October, Simon
comes, cap in hand and very humble, to
the court to crave MOll's consent to his
setting some men with guns in her park
at night, to lie in ambush for poachers,
telling how they had shot one man in
the act last spring, and had hanged an
other the year before for stealing of q
sheep, adding that stranger had been
seen lettering in the neighborhood, who.
he doubted not, was of their thieving
crew.
What makes you think that?' asks
Moll.
He has been seen lingering about
here these three days., answers Simon.
"Yet to my knowledge he hath not slept
at either of the village inns. Moreover,
he hath the look of desperate, starving
rascal, ripe for such work.

misfortunes F"
"Gentle mistress, suffer me to point
out that if thee lets one man steal with
impunity others, now innocent, are
thereby encouraged to sin, and thus thy
mercy tends to greater cruelty"
"No man shall be killed ON my land.
There is my answer, says Moll, with
passion. eff you take this poor, starved
creature, it shall be without doing him
bodily hurt. You shall answer for it
else.'

me or not, and I'll suffer none to take

before any further restrictions might be
put upon him, but Moll's mind was
much disturbed all day by fear of mis-

and at night she would have me take

be she thought that her own father, steal

But we found no one, though Simon had
certainly hidden these fellows some
where in the thickets.
While we were at table next morning
we heard great connection in the hall,
and Mrs. Butterfly, coming in mighty
pucker, told how the robber had been
taken in the park, and how Simon had
brought him to the house in obedience to
her lady's command.
"But do, pray, have care of your
self, my dear lady," says she, ''for this
hardy villain hath struck Mr.. Simon in
the face and made most desperate re-
sistance, and heaven protect us from

Moll, smiling, said she would rather
face a lion in the day than a mouse by
night, and so babe the captive to be
brought before her.
Then in comes Simon, with a stout
band over ore eye, followed by two
sturdy fellows holding their prisoner be-
twixt them, and this was very pas
sionate man, as was evidenced by the
looks of fury he cast from side to side
upon his captors as they dragged him
this way and that to make show of
their power, but not i'll looking. In his
struggles he had lost his hat, and his
threadbare coat and shirt were torn open,
laying bare his neck and showing a very |
fair, white skin and a good beard of |
light, curling hair There was naughtl
mean or vile in his face, but rather it
seemed to me a noble coustenance,
though woefully wasted, so that at a
glance one might perceive he was no
born rascal, but likely enough some
ruined man of better sort driven to I'M
lawful ways by his distress. He was of
a fair height, but gaunt beyond every
thing, and so feeble that, after one eff
fort to free his arms, his chin sank upon
his breast as if his forces We're all spent.

tedious hair hour, Tor the mere amuse-
ment of creating Mrs. Butterby's won
der and surprise, as one will tell stories
of fairies to children, this good woman
repeated with many additions of her
own concerning ourselves, which, to re-
fleet credit on herself, were all to our
advantage. This was the more fitting,
because the news spreading that the lost
heiress had returned to Hurst Court ex-
cited curiosity far and wide, and it was
not long before families in the surround
ing seats, who had known Sir W. God
win in bygone times, called to see his
daughter. And here Moll's tact was
taxed to the utmost, for some who had
known Judith Goodwin as an infant ex-
pected that she should remember some
incident stored in their recollection. But
she was ever equal to the occasion,
feigning a pretty doubling innocence at
first, then suddenly asking this lady if
she had not worn a cherry dress with
beautiful stomacher, or that gentleman
if he had not given her goldpiece for
a token, and it generally happened these
shrewd shafts hit their mark, the lady,
though she might have forgotten her
gown, remembering she had very be-
coming stomacher at that time, the
gentleman believing that he. did give
her a luck penny, and so forth, from
very vanity.
Then Moll's lofty carriage and her
beauty would remind them of their dear
lost friend, Mrs. Goodwin, in the heyday
of her youth, and all agreed in admir-
ing her beyond anything, and though
Mol, from her lack of knowledge, made
many slips and would now and then say
things uncustomary to women of breed
ing, yet these were easily attributed to
her living so long in barbarous coun-
try and were as readily glanced over.
Indeed nothing could surpass Moll's ar
tifcial conduct ON these occasions. She
would lard her conversation with those
scraps of Italian she learned from me,
