SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS.
The Janitor of the Holmes "CastIe' Be-
lieved to Have Confessed-The Police
are Reticent.

Chicago, July 31.-That Mrs. Quinlan
wife of the janitor supposed to know so
much about the misdeeds OF Holmes, has
made a partial confession to the police
this morning, is almost certain. At an
early hour the principal investigators of
the case went to the Harrison street sta
tiOn, where Mr.. and Mrs. Quinlan have
been confined, taking with them a steno-
grapher. They first devoted themselves
to the man. About an hour was con-
sumed in his examination. Chief Bade-
noch declared that nothing had tran
spired that he could give the press with
out injuring the police status of the case
He admitted that Quinlan broke down
completely and wept like child, but de-
MED that he said anything which would
implicate either himself or Holmes in
the murder laid at their doors. Quinlan
admitted that he knew Hatch, now in Jail
| at Little Rock but refused to acknowl-
edge him either as an accomplice or a
friend.
The interview with Mrs. Quinlan which
followed, was sensational in the extreme
The police were very reticent about it,
Mrs. Quinlan was very much affected, :"
said Chief Badenoch. ''She not only wept
| throughout the whols interview, which
[ need not say was unusually severe, but
she said: 1 call on God to witness I
know nothing more of the murder than /
nave etllcetsiy uOiu- IL L etO says L KNOW
anything more about it, he simply lies
that's all. } -
This remark was called out by decoy
statementssmade tosher that her husband
had confessed every thing, at least this
is the story the police told. 1t is believed
from the whole circumstances of the
interview that much more was said than
the inquisitors cared to give out, as pre-
mature publication of their plans would
probably spoil everything. ''We shall not
go to Little Rock at ALL said Inspector
Fitzpatrick. "We are going to bring
him on requisition as he is already con-
| convicted, but I think we can get him
here on parole.
Philadelphia. July 31.-The finding in
the Little Rock, Ark. penetentiary of
Hatch, who figured SO prominently in the
Holmes case, apparently upset the plans
for the prosecution of Holmes If it can
be proved that Hatch is thu individual
who Holmes dragged into the case as the
custodian of the Pietzel girls, whose bod
les were found in Toronto, new line of
work will have to be startd upon. From
| the start Hatch was considered. by the
police here to be myth, but they seem
| to have experienced change of opinion
Lawyer Shoemaker, who represents
Holmes. stated today that he was aston
| ished that one or dozen men named
| Hatch had not previously come to the
surface. He said his client adheres to
the statement that the two Pietzel girls
were left in charge of Hatch and the
whereabouts OF the latter is unknown.

TRIED TO DROWN HER.
Woman Thrown Out of Boat by Two
Men.

Saco, July 81. -YestelQay afternoon
quite an exciting incident took place in
the river, opposite the Riverside house on
the Pool road
1.-The boarders, who were sitting on the
banks of the river, noticed small row
boat come down the river, which con-
tanned two men and a woman.
The two landed on the marshy land be-
tween the Wheelmen's club house and
Camp Ellis and started to walk towards
the Ferry road. They were evidently
having some dispute by the gestures that
they were making.
At last the woman stopped and refused
to go any farther. The men were seen
trying to persuade her to go with them.
but she wouldn't bulge AN inch. Find
ing that they could do nothing, they
went back to their boat and rowed out on
the river.
They came straight across towards the
Tarbox boat house and when within
about hundred feet from the shore, both
of the men got up, seized the woman who
commenced to shout murder and threw
her overheard.
She commenced to founder round and
tried to seize hold of the boat, but the
two men rowed away from her.
Fortunately where she was the water
was not over nor neaQ, DuU was up TO nef
chin, so that she had to put her head
back to keep her nose out of water.
The tide was very swift at this point OF
the river, which was carrying her along
and out into deeper water in spite of all
she could do HerThead was under water
half the time and she would have been
drowned in few minutes if it hadn't
been for the party on the banks of the
river.
They rushed down to the landing,
secured boat and hurried to her rescue.
They were mono too soon, for when they
got there she was about gone and had to
be pulled into the boat by main force
She was taken ashore where she told
her rescuers that the two men who had
thrown her overheard We're trying tc
make way with her. She did not tell her
name nor the names of those who had SO
foully treated her.
The two men who had thrown her into
the river saw that she had been rescued
and rowed back to the shore, where she
was standing. They seemed to have some
great influence over her, for she got into
the boat with them without saying q
word.
They rowed off and during the whole
proceeding did not speak word. They
were asked what they were trying to do,
but would not answer q single question
The boarders were deeply impressed by
the little tragedy and are unable tC
account for the strange actions of the
Darties concerned in the matter

Shoe Factory.
ESPECIAL TO THE PRESS

Gardiner, July 31-The city of Gardiner
is just at present excited over a shoe
factory project. The Board of Trade,
stimulated by the success of the recent
carnival which furnished the necessary
funds for the purchase of the Coliseum
building, has taken hold of the matter
with great gusto. The sum of $40, 600 is
needed to build the factory and this
amount it is believed will all have been
subscribed within a few days now. The
subscribers will receive stock in return
for their money and here the original part
of the scheme comes in. This stock is
guaranteed by the Board of Trade to pay
per cent and to make good this
guarantee the merchants propose to hold
annually, if necessary, a carnival like
that given this summer. Eight hundred
dollars would pay the interest, and $500
would be easily within the profits Of a
