cratic State Convention on the first bal

party. The act was completed by the
nomination of Marion De kalb Smith OF
Kent County to succeed himself as Comp
troller of the Currency, and OF State Sem
ator Charles c. Crothers of Cecil County
for Attorney-General. The surprise OF
the convention was The almost total de-
sertion of the reassessment advocate,
State Senator. Hayes, he receiving but
two votes.
It is credibly stated that Hayes ac-
cnsed Senator German of base deceit and
double-dealing, and ended up his TRADE
by charging the senior Senator with hay-
ing sold him out.
The convention was called to order at
1920 P. NJ. by Chairman Talbot OF the
State Central Committee. Not hfty dele
gates were present when the convention
first convened, and there was an entire
absence of decorations in the auditorium
of Harris Academy of Music, although
some signs of enthusiasm were created
by the inspiring airs of a band of music.

tious be referred to the committee with

The Defendant Taken to Court In the
Prison Van.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3l.-Durrant was
treated like common prisoner this
morning for the first time. The buggy
with which Chief Jailer Sattler has been
taking him to and from the City Hall and
County Jail did not appear in front of the
jail as usual. Instead, the prison van
was driven up, and in ii Durrant was
given seat. The back door was closed
and padlocked. and the alleged murderer
was whirled through the streets and to
the City Hall like any other prisoner.
1t is not likely that the deposition of
Charles II. Clarke. The travelling sales
man now in the East. will make much of
an impression on the jury iu the Durrant
trial. Should be return to testify, 1t IS
said he will be arrested at the instlgation
ofthe American Tea Importing Company,
the managers of which ailege that he OBJ
tained commissions from them on orders
which were partly fictitious. 1t is even
said that Captain Lees has decided to send
detective East 10 arrest Clarke and ex-
tradite him. The prosecution will not
admit that any such action will be taken.
1t is semi-officially stated, however, that
the warrant has been issued.

Mrs. Quinlau, Wife of Janitor Quin-
Ian. Makes a Partial
Confession.

CHICAGO, July 3.-Mrs. Quinlan, the
wife of the janitor who is supposed to
know so much about the misdeeds of
Holmes, made a partial confession this
morning to the police, although Chief
Badenoch and Inspector Fitzpatrick re-
fuse to say whether or not this was the
case. At an early hour this morning the
two principal investigators of the case
went to the Harrison-street Station,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Qulnlan have been
confined ever since they were arrested
on suspicion of knowing more than they
cared TO tell. Taking with them stenog
! rapher they first devoted themselves 10
| the man. An hour was consumed III his
examination, and when the interview
was over it waSnoliced that the stenogra-
pher carried voluminous notes of the in-
| terview.
Chief Badenoch declared that nothing
! transpired that he could give 10 the press
without iDjuring the police status OF the
case. He admitted, however, that Quin-
| Ian broke down completely and wept,
but denied that he said anything which
would implicate either himself or
Holmes.
tluinlan acknowledged knowing Allen
or Hatch, the man who is in jail at Little
Rock who declares that he is an accom-
| plice of Quinlan and Holmes.
Mrs. Quinlan'S interview with the po-
lice was sensational, but the details are
kept from the press. Attorney Capps is
going soon to Little Rock and hopes 10

cording to Holmes. the girl had resisted
him persistently, and he only accom-
plished her ruin by inducing her to take
an excursion with him on one of the
Lake Michigan steamers. Miss Cigrand
was a Catholic, and according to his
statement she made a confession to her
priest, in which she told him of her down.

The priest visited Holmes, and insisted
upon him righting the wrong by marry
ing her. Holmes pretended to be willing
to marry Miss Cigrand. and so iulled the
priests suspicious To satisfy Miss Ci-
Grand. Holmes went through the cere-
mony of marriage with her, but, un-
known to the girl, the man who ollciated
was not an ordained clergyman, but only
colnplaisant friend Of Holmes, who had
consented 10 play the part of a priest.
Holmes and the girl lived together as
man and wife for short time. and then
Miss Cigrand learned that she had been
twice deceived and was not legal wife.
Upon learning this the girl was over

she left home and entered convent.

The Defender Scores Another Victory
over tho Vigilant.
NEWPORT Or. l. July 3l.-Once again
the Defender has scored a victory over
the Vigilant, and while the latter was
somewhat handicapped by six-foot rent
in her mainsail that would not atone for
the twelve minutes beating which the
latest Hereschoff design gave to the cup
defender Of 1893 in the fortymile run
from New London here.
The new boat made ample amends for
her failure TO win yesterday, and even
the croak kers who say she is not doing as
we'll as she should ceased their croaklng,
and apprehension in regard to the
Americas cup was put to rest for to-day
at least.
The expectation That General Payne's
Jubilee would take part in the days run
was not fulfilled, and the Boston contin
| gent who claimed that the Jubilee did not
| get fair chance in the trial cup race OF
| 1893 were much disappointed.
| The failure of the Jubilee to start was
| due TO an accident which happened in the
| hard blow Of yesterday. Instead of try
| ing her pace with the Defender and Vigil
! liant, the Jubilee took line from the lat
ter's tender, the Argonaut, and was towed
| here, arriving with the last fleet.
! J. Malcolm Forbes Volunteer the sue
| cessful cup defender of 1887, was in the
| race to-day, and there was good oppor-
| tupity to gauge the advance that has been
made in yacht architecture since the
| Thistle was sent home without The cup.
| The Volunteer has tor several years been
schooner-rigged. and it is only recently
that she has been changed back TO a
sloop. Mr.. Forbes showed genuine
| sportsmanship in lifting her up and try
! ing conclusions with the Hereschotf
| model.
In to-day's race the Defender beat her
| twenty four inules and four seconds,
and the Nigilant beat her twelve minutes
and nine seconds. On another day, when
there is reaching or beating. the differ
ence between the old type and the latter
ones may not De SO great, but that we
have made rapid strides in designing
yachts Is evident
herself to-day. The Maytiower, in whom
in 1886, aud placed them not in vain,
came to the front in the race for
| schOoners. winning in her class,
and making the best time of any Of
the yachts except the three big single
stickers. Alter her defeat of the Gaatea,
! the Mayfiower WAS given schooner rig,
and she has never accomplished much in
it. Her victory to-day over the crack
modern schooners LaSca and Emerald
was a surprise.
In the other classes for schooners the
winners were: Constellation, Iroquos,
Amorita and Neerea. or the smaller
single-stickers, the Queen Nab, Wasp
and Uvira were winners.

JACKSON HOLE (Wyo.). July 3O.-(Via
courier to Market Lake, Idaho. July 3lst)
Your correspondent arrived this even

Strange to say. the first persons spoken
to i'll Jackson Hole were not frightened
settlers moving out, but party of Utah
people coming in. There are about
twenty five mon here now, the others be-
ing scouting the location of the Indians.
The scouting parties nunb ber some thirty
five men.
Irving Wilson, Oung man who was
with the shooting party of two weeks
ago, described the affair substantially as
did Fred Peterson in yesterdays lele-
gram. He said the leader of the arrest
ing party who arrested twenty five mon
was Bill Manning. the Constable. When
the bucks were arrested they were not
not searched, which Wilson admits WAS
a grave error. Manning anticipated a
breakaway. In fact, all signs were Tor
one, but he only took the precaution of
telling his men to shoot at the Indians
horses.
Wilson said he knew nothing OF the
mum ber of horses shot in obedience 10
his command. In fact. he is not sure taat
any were. There is remarkable lack of
confidence about the facts in this connec-
! ton
There is some talk of other Indians be-
ing killed in the mountains. Several
persons have come in to report having
killed handsful of bucks. Asked the di
| rect question if he believed these stories,
Wilson admitted That they sounded tall.
There are intrenchments here at Simp-
sons Postoffice, five miles NORTH one at
Cunningham's, thirty-two miles north,
and fourth at Jackson Lake, fifty miles
northward. There are thirty or forty
guns here, and some few men are reso-
lutte enough to say that they wouldhbe
glad to go into the pit and use some OF the
extra ones. The women are even more
outspoken in their bitterness against the
Indians than the men.

HAVANA, July 81. = Private advices
from Santa Clara are to the effect that an
engagement took place on Saturday last
near Solapa, in the Santa Clara district,
between accommodating party OF cavalry
and the insurgents under Suarez Zayas.
The reconnoitering party numbered
twenty men who had been detached from

manded by Major Zubias. When be-
tween Barabass and CoroJitO the recon-
nolterln2 party was fired upon by rebel
pckets who had mol been observed by

entire rebel force, estimated TO number
800 men, who had been hiding in the
WOODS, attacked the small force of Gov
ernment troops.
The main column OF cavalry was not
far distant, and the heavy firing gave
notice TO Major Zublas that assistance for
the reconnoitering party was needed. He
at once proceeded with his force to their
relief, and after fight that lasted fifteen
minutes defeated the insurgents. The
troops captured thirty carbines and u
number OF revolvers, etc. 1t is believed
that several OF the rebels were wounded.
