NEW YORK, July 22.-The second trial
that the Defender had in New York
waters against the Vigilant today only
furnished more evidence that the new boat
is better than the old ono in light
weather. They sailed over triangular
course outside Sandy Hook and were
tested in pretty near every kind of sail
ing. They started out before the wind. Be-
fore they had gotten half way on the
journey of the first leg OF ten miles, they
were sailing with the wind over the quar-
ter before they got to the end OF the first
leg they were even more closely hauled;
on the second leg they were reaching free
and lacking, and on the final angle they
were able to head the home mark with
fairly well-lifted sheet. The race left no
doubt as to the respective qualities of the
boats IN the kind of weather that pre-
vailed, but that weather was of the
lightest character. AT no time did the
beeze blow harder than twelve knots an
hour and it fell at times to four. On the
run out before the wind at the start the
Nigilant not only held her own, but at
the end of four miles was well abeam of
the Defender. This run was made with
spinnaker set and drawing, under which

CHICAGO, July 22.-Eighteen inches
below the uneven surface forming the
floor to the basement of the Holmes build
ing in Englewood was discovered the
bloodstained undergarment supposed to
have belonged to Minnie Williams be-
fore her disappearance. 1t was dug up
by Detectives Horton and Fitzpatrick
few minutes after the regular force Uf
workmen employed IN excavating had
abandoned their task for the day. In
consequence of the find, the theory of
Minnie Williams having been, murdered
received added force and the work OF ex-
cavating will be pushed with fresh i'm
petus tomorrow There was one corner
which had not been touched. 1t was the
northwest corner OF the section of the
Basement of the building ON the Sixty
third street front.
LET us see il we can find anything
over there, - suggested Fitzpatrick. Hor-
ton proceeded to thrust his pick into
the ashes. Finally the pick struck some
thing in which it stuck. \ piece of
musty cloth was drawn out. 1t was
stained. When carried to the light it was
found that the clothing was half OF

the upstairs door to the dumb waiter ana
strangled to death In the shaft below.
During .he day a second wall in the
basement was found by the detectives.
There are two doors leading into the
apartment thus created and each one was
securely locked. 1t was reported today
that Pat Quinlan and his wife had been
arrested and given an experience in the
sweat box. This report. however, was
emphatically denied by the police. Quin-
Ian was employed as q janitor by Holmes
here and is believed to know something
about the alleged murderer's doings.
Mrs. Pitzel is back in Chicago after her
the bodies of her children. She is now
ready to tell all that she knows regarding
the swindles and the measures to carry
them out, but she says she was kept in
ignorance that any of them entailed
much loss.
Bones and articles of clothing were
turned up in the basemenG of Holmes
house. Some of the bones resem bled
some of the bones of human foot. In a
chest, holding secret belongings OF
Holmes, the police today found a vest
identified as one long worn by Holmes,
upon which were dark stains resembling
blood. In box were found linen shirt
and other articles of1s underwear. The
shirt had the initials &c. b. D.. worked
in red letters. The box was found under
the floor and was covered over with a
iayer of fire blick.
In the cellar. near where the bones were
found. woman's shoe was turned up
with evidence of fire on the bottom OF the
shoe. The detec tives announce that in
their opinion the house has been con-
structed for the purpose of deliberate
slaughter. More care than ever will be
taken in searching the premises.
il. II. Holmes will be charged with the
crime OF murder in Chicago tomorrow, a
warrant for his arrest on that charge
will be sworn out by a. Miner a nephew
of Julia l.. Connor of Muscatne, Iowa.
Homes will be charged in the warrant
with having murdered Mrs. Connor some
time between the 1st Of 2 ugust and the
Its of November. 1892. The warrant will
be served the instant Holmes is freed in
Philadelphia.
MI. Miner was moved to swear out a
warrant by letter from the father of

Los Angeles
A MAN WHO LEVANTS OFTEN
The Ex-President of the Southern
California College
His Wife Acknowledges That She 10 Ac.
quainted With His Whereabouts but
Refuses to Divulge Them
Rev p W. Dorsey has gone.

Rev. p. W. Dorsey has gone.
This is the second time within the last
six weeks that he has disappeared under
rather unusual, If not suspicious, circum-
stances, andtfor the secnod time he has
endeavored to leave no trace of his where
abouts behind him.
His wife, however, is fully acquainted
with half of his movements and knows
where he is. In fact. she is expecting
letter within the next two days that will
tell her where she may go to meet him,
and it, no doubt. will contain the money
with which she can purchase ticket.
He is believed to be in some OF the ad
joining towns within days ride from
Los Angeles, and from what his wife
says it is safe to predict that he will stay
there.
Rev. Dorsey was formerly president OF
the Southern California college, aud left
this city last month under consider
able of Il cloud. The affairs of the insti-
tuition were founo to have been in bad
shape. Under the Rev. Dorsey's manage
ment the college, it is understood, had
been miserably conducted and run to the
verge OF bankruptcy.
After the investigation had been insti-
tuied and the true nature of the affair
understood Rev. orsey levanted. Where
he went or whether his health was i'm
proved is not known. AT all events he
stayed away for some time, but finally
drifted back to Los Angeles.
His home is at 1922 Bonsallo avenue,
1t is cozy little cottage, EN- powered with
quantity OF foliage. In front is the
ominous sign. ITO Rent" from which
tention of the Rev. Dorsey is to remain
away for some length of time, and that
his wife will soon join him.
Whether this apparent intention is
caused by the discovery of any further
sensational! feature to the investigation of
stated. II shortage in his accounts has
come to light this may have been the
cause OF his departure.
Mrs. Dorsey was interviewed by Herald
representative last night in regard to her
husbands disappearance. She acknowl-
edged he had left the city two days be-
fore, and further than that she was
acquainted with his whereabouts. Be-
yond this she declined to make any state
ment. When asked why her husband had
left Los Angeles. Mrs. Dorsey endeavored
to evade answering by saying she knew
but little about his motives. She was
asked to tell what little she knew, but tins
was also declined. the lady finally dcolar.
ing she would make no statement what
ever regarding the matter.
Mrs. Dorsey was very nervous through
out the entire interview, ana attempted
to smooth over the affair bv saying that
lots of gentlemen were in the habit Of
leaving the city. and why could not her
husband do the same without his move
ments being closely watched? 1t was her
evident intention not to divulge any IN
formation regarding the Rev. Dorsey. for
she carefully thought before replying to
any question and at length ended by
coming out fatfooted and saying she
would make no statement whatever.

not get around the buoy until 1857 :25.
They came home without a tack, point

Wages Are Cut in Two and They Won't

PITTsBURG. Feb 22.-The reduction of
the wages of the Trenton. n. J., potters
from 20 to so per cent, as announced in
the dispatches yesterday, will have an
effect on the eastern Ohio and western
Pennsylvania potters. Last fall most
disastrous strike among the .potters at
East Liverpool, Ohio, came to an end,
after manyriotous and tumultuous scenes.
The settlement was made on a basis
prescribed by the Trenton manufactur-
ers, who are at the head of the combina-
ton. The Trenton potters assured them
that the prices of the output would go
up as result of pending legislation,
aud with this understanding concessions
were made by both sides and the potte-
ries were started. They have been run
ming under this scale ever since.
The potteries throughout the country
are we'll organized, and if the Trenton
workers declare to go out strike,
complete shut down of all the plants in
the country will likely follow.

JIM'S GUARDIAN.

Objection Raised to Appointing Profess
tant Guardian for a Catholic Child.
S. s. OFT was yesterday appointed the
guardian of little four year old Jim
Trainer by Judge Wood
Jim is the son of the Mrs. Trainer who
died while awaiting trial for selling whis
ky last summer. Since his mothers
death Jim has been abandoned to the
tender mercies of the we'll known peg
leg" McClafferty and wife.
The appointment was made through
the efforts of Mrs. Van Cleave, president
of the Social Purity league.
Alr. OFT is a Protestant and it was I'M
derstood that objections to the appoint
ment would be made by the Catholic
relatatives of the child.
This morning a motion was fled in the
probate court by John ]. O'Conner, rel
alive of the boy, to set aside the appoint
ment of OFT, and to give the child to
OConner, who would give it a suitable
home.
The hearing will come up Wednesday
morning, and in the meantime the child
is in the custody of John Langen. Cath
Ollie.
1t is probable that the child will be
given to its relatives.
Jim is an unusually bright little fell
low, and has a good many opinions of
his own, and he doesn't mind expressing
them in language that is not always used

estimated for, he said, as vouchers were
not transmitted to the department of
justice until they were paid.
