rwo MURDERS By An Ex-ooNr1cr.
Deeds of Man who Was Pardoned by
Governor Flower

Governor Flower.
Watertown, N. Y. July 11.-Minnie
Ingersoll sixteen years old, who lived
with her brother at Chapel Hill, thirty
five miles from here, and Nicholas p
Strife, farm hand employed on the
Ingersoll place, were murdered last
night by John Hoch, who had been an
inmate of the prison at Auburn, serv-
ing a sentence of seven years for at
tempted murder, and who was pardoned
two years ago by Governor Flower.
Hoch met Miss Ingersoll this spring
and became infatuated with her, but
his attentions were not encouraged by
the girl, who refused to see him when
he tried to call upon her. On Wednes-
day morning he drove from Lowville to
Chapel Hill, but the girls brother, Eu-
gene, ordered him away and he drove
to his half-sister's house for dinner.
Driving back to Lowyille he bought a
Winchester rifle and forty-five calibre
cartridges.
Late in the evening Hoch sneaked in
to the Ingersoll barn, and when Miss
Ingersoll passed with a pail of milk
he fired, the ball lodging in her heart.
She fell dead instantly. Strife was fol-
lowing the girl with a pail of milk,
and the murderer fired the second time,
the ball entering Strife's left side. Strife
ran in terror and alarmed the house
hold Hoch made for the woods and es-
capped.
About o'clock this morning the sher-
if found Hoch hiding at a farm house.
He had told George Graves the owner,
the story Of the crime, threatening to
kill him If he refused to hide him. When
the officers arrived Hoch showed fight,
but finding resistance useless, he put a
| revolver to his forehead and fired ,frac-
turing his skull. Strife died this morn
ing. 1t is expected that Hoch will re-
cover.

DEFENDER DID VERY WELL
SIZE SHOWED QUICKNESS IN STAYS
ON THE TRIAL TRIP SPIN.

There Was no IndIcation Given of the Ten
dency to Tenderness, as the Yacht Showed
Wonderful Ability for Eating Into The
Wind When IL Blew Its Hardest-Proved
to be an Excellent Boat.
Providence, July 1.-THE Defender
was taken out for her thn& rial spin
this afternoon AZ Bristol and although,
re wind almost died out at the start
yet when she got down in tn, lower
bay near Newport there was a good
breeze blowing and while it lasted the
yacht gave a splendid account of her
self She carried club top sail and
jib top sail for the first time in ad-
dition to her lower sails and while
she heeled we'll she gave no indication
of the tendency to tenderness that was
evident in the blow off Gould Island
on Sunday.
She showed wonderful ability for eat
Ing into the wind and when the wind
blew hardest she made a good twelye
miles an hour. Her quickness in stays
is certainly remarkable in comparison
with what American yachtsmen have
been accustomed to in their big sloops
AT one point as near as could be as
certained from the reporters boat the
Defender came about in eleven seconds.
If the time is correct it certainly mar
rows down the margin of time by which
the Valkyrie III. is reported to lead
the Defender in the same work unoffi-
cial information having reached this
side that the English boat has stayed
in nine seconds.

UNDER A BRITISH FLAG.
American Seeks Protection After Bein,

American Seeks Protection After Being
Refused Protection of His Own.
New York, July 11--Frank Wood
ward, the Cuban war correspondent for
a New York morning paper, arrived
this morning per steamer Arandhu
from Gibara, apparently none the worse
for his trying experiences in Cuba He
appeared in excellent health and spir-
It's, and expressed himself as being de-
lighted to reach home again. He has
had many thrilling experiences, but his
last one proved most exciting, that of
the treatment, he says, he experienced
at the hands of the United States con-
sular agent at Gibara. Woodward af-
ter many weeks of hardships, during
which he suffered greatly, managed to
reach Gibara. He proceeded iInmedi-
ately to the United States consular
agency, where he met Jose H. Beola a
Spaniard, who is not only the United
States consular agent, but an officer in
the Spanish army. Beola, Woodward
asserts, treated him in a most discour-
teous manner, advising him to give him
self up to the Spanish authorities, which
would mean imprisonment for lengthy
period. He was compelled to seek the
protection of the British flag aboard the
tramp steamer Arandhu, and through
the kindness of Captain Walker man
aged to reach home. Woodward con-
firms the report Of the death of Jose
Marti

STATEMENT FINALLY MADE
WHY THE CORD1GE COMPANY PAID
OUT Hale 4 MILLION.

Secretary Rathbone Says That the Facts In
the Case Are Spread ON the Real Estate
Records in Boston-Time Extension for
the Deposit of Bonds.
New York, July 11.-Secretary Rath-
bone of the protective committee of
Cordage gave out the following to-day
regarding the purchase of the Pearson
Mill, for which the company paid $780,,
600 in cash:
"The facts in regard to this are pub
lic as they are spread ON the real es-
tate records in Boston. The purchase
of the Pearson. mill in a year of dimin-
ished trade seems to have been injudi-
cious and unwise in itself and the
method of the purchase was distinct
detriment to the bondholders and stock
! holders, because it deprived the COM
pany of 100000 of working capital and
imposed other heavy pecuniary, obliga-
tions upon it without apparently deriv-
| ing any corresponding benefit. These
obligations involved the purchase of
hemp on hand, and to arrive at which
cost the Pearson company, and it is
said involved an additional outlay of
81, 1000 besides the money paid for
the plant.
"The United States Cordage COM
| pany's mortgage provides that allafter-
acquired real estate shall become secur-
| ity for the bonds. These records at
Boston disclose the fact that the Pear
son Cordage company of Massachusetts
! conveyed the Pearson mill plant to
one Duane, who gave back purchase
money mortgage to secure the note of
the United State Cordaee company for
| 100000, and Duane then conveyed the
| plant subject to this mortgage to the
Pearson Mil company OF New Jersey,
a corporation apparently organized for
the purpose. The Pearson Mill com
pany then issued 100000 of bonds Sc
cured by a mortgage made to the
Manhattan Trust company, Of New
| York. These bonds are guaranteed by
the United States Cordage company.
1T thus appears that the $50o,00C
| taken out of the working capital of the
| United States Cordage company for the
payment of the Pearson Mill simply
served as a basis for augmenting the
! liabilities of the United States Cordage
| company, inasmuch as the title to the
| Pearson Mill plant was not conveyed
| to the United States Cordage company
! at all, 1t is understood that the $780,
! 900 bonds issued by the Pearson Mill
| company, after being guaranteed by the
! United States Cordage company, were
pledge to the Manhattan Trust company
as security for advances and the equity
then remaining therein was then
pledged to secure advances made by
Drexel, Morgan & Co., so that while
| the purchase of the Pearson milf has
as yet added nothing to the value of
the assets of the United States Cordage
company 1t has served as the basis for
augmenting the liabilities Of thai
company"
1t is stated that the Waterbury reor-
.ganization committee will extend for
two weeks the time for deposit of Cor
dage bonds.

CHICAGO's BOODLERS.
The Action of Her Aldermen is to be In
vestigated.

vestigated.
Chicago, July n-At the request of
States Attorney Kern, Judge Tuthill
has issued a call for a special grand
jury which is to investigate charges of
boodling in the city council. The in
formation was given to States Attorney
Kern by H. H. Kohlsaat of this city.
The evidence was secured through a
hole in the ceiling of Alderman Fink
ler's office in the chamber of commerce
building. The charge will be that GER
tain aldermen attempted to procure
bribes in connection with an ordinance
introduced some time since into the city
council, providing that the citizens of
Chicago should be given pure ice. The
terms of this ordinance We're such that
it would have driven a number of the
large ice companies of the city out of
business, and they naturally used all
possible efforts to defeat it, 1t was
brought to the ears of the managers of
the ice companies that a certain clique
in the council would consent to smother
the ordinance for a consideration of
s. 900. The ice companies seemingly
fell into the trap, and while conducting
negotiations. arrangements were made
to entrap the aldermen.

Both Men Identified.

Hartford, July 11.-Detective ]. E. ia
cobs of the New York police force came
up here to-day and visited Hart and
Miller, the suspects in jail here. He
identified them both as members of the
western gang of post office thieves that
were driven out of Chicago few
months ago, and which has been doing
great deal of work in breaking into
post offices and small railroad stations
in western Connecticut and Massachu-
setts. He said positively that they
were not connected with the Ludlow

LETTER FROM ooREE1r.
She Regrets the Outcome of the LamentabIe
Affair at Henley


Affair at Henley.
London, July 11.IThe Cornell crew
have addressed letter to the press,
in which they say, in part:
"On Tuesday the usual question are
you ready?' was asked and as no mega
tive~ reply was heard by the umpire
from either crew the word go was
given. Cornell started and Leander
also drew away from the post. We seen
discovered that Leander had stopped
rowing, but the umpire did not recall
US nor did he in any way indicate his
desire to have us return. Had he done
so we would have stopped at any point
on the course. Under the rules gov
erning races as we understand them
had Cornell not rowed over the course
we would have been liable to disqualifi-
cation from entry into any subsequent
heat and thereby debarred from fur
ther competition in the grand challenge
contest. No one can regret the outcome
of this lamentable affair more than the
members of the Cornell crew.

Bristol, r. L, July 1.-THE Defender
and Vigilant were ready to sail on a trip
outside the harbor this morning, but
the start was not made at 10 o'clock ow-
