In Colorado the Swindler Had Sev- eral Narrow Escapes From the Penltentlary. COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., Aug. 30.— The police and insurance men of this city are inclined to believe that the mysterious “‘Hatch” so frequently referred to by H. H. Holmes as being responsible for many of the crimes charged to the latter indi- vidual, is not 8 myth. In support of their belief they produce some facts which seem to lend plausibility to the idea that Hatch is not only a reality, but that he was in the business of robbing life insurance com- panies before Holmes himself entered upon that profession. In April, 1890, one Clark W. Hatch was | tried in this city for the murder of his | uncle near Burlington, Colo. Although | appearances were against him no legal | case could be made out and he was ac- quitted. A few months later he was ar- irse, are now citizens of a new | rested on a charge of swindling the Trav- | elers’ Insurance Company out of a large | sumn of money. He escaped conviction on Idonot | @ technicality, but on the trial it was | proved beyond doubt that he had been en- | gaged in a series of successful graveyard er forget in your new country your | SWindles. When he was released the in- three | Surance people were ready to arrest him | on new charges, but on the ruling of the | court he was guaranteed safe conduct to | his home before he could be rearrested. On the way, although he was guarded | and watched by detectives, Hatch man- | aged to escape. Since that time he has not been heard of. Itis the belief here that the Hatch mixed up in the Pitzel case may be the Hatch of this city, and in some quarters it is believed that Holmes and | Hatch are the same person and that Holmes himself was the man who was tried in this city in 1890. Photographs of the latter are not obtain- able, but a picture of the man now in prison in Philadelphia will be procured and the question of identity will then bs settled by those who were at the tridl ig 1890. R R SBTEEL (4 L-BOATS. Arrival of the First Lot Built in the Country. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 30.—The first steel canal-boats ever built in this country | arrived at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon at | One Hundred and Thirty-second street, North River, on their way from Loraine, Ohio, to Brooklyn. The fleet comprisesthe steel steamn canal-boat Alpha .and five regular canal-boats of the same material. ‘When the fleet appeared in sight it was greeted with cheers and the waving of flags. Captain Hains, who is master of the fleet, reported that the voyage on the lake an through the Erie canal was made without any mishap. The boats are made entirely of steel. The steamer contains a fore-and- aft cempound engine of 120 horsepower and = capable of towing the fleet at about the rate of six miles an hour in deep | water. The five regular canal-boats are | each 98 feet long and 17 feet 11inches wide, with a depth of 10 feet. Each can carry 230 tons on adraught of 6 feet. The fleet was built at Cleveland, Ohio, where other boats of the same kind are undergoing construction. It is asserted that thdse steel boats will revolutionize the canal traffic. Itisclaimed for them that they will do away with the transfer of car- goes from lake steamers to canal-boats at Buffalo. Canal men speak of an iron boat that was built long ago, but it was differ- ent from these boats and proved a failure. bt 2 Convention of Clergymen.

Mrs. Lizzie Fiji Took a Dose ‘of Laudanum, but Was Resuscitated. ROBBED BY HER HUSBAND. He Had Fled From the City With All of Her Money and Jewelry. SAN JOSE, CAL., Aug. 30.—Mrs. Lizzie Fiji, who resides at 136 North Fourth street, made an attempt to end her life with a dose of lJaudanum yesterday, but was discovered in time by friends and her design defeated. The woman married Robert G. Fiji in San Francisco a few months ago, and about the 1st of August the couple took up their residence in this city. Fiji told his wife a few days ago that he could find no work to suit him in San Jose and had de- cided to take up eighty acres of land near Olympia, Wash. He thought it inadvisa- ble for her to accompany him, and so packed up his belongings and left. After his departure Mrs. Fiji confessed to a friend that her husband had not only left her, but had taken over $1700 of her money, her watch, silver and jewelry with him. As soon as Mrs. Fiji began to realize that she had been deceived by the man to whom she had entrusted her hand and the hard- earned savings of many years of work she became very despondent, and her conduct began to raise fears in the minds of her friends that she would attempt to take her life. Abouta week ago she took a large dose of morphine, but the drug only made her very sick. She denied to her friends that she intended taking her life and promised not to take any more of the drug but to bear her troubles bravely. Yester- day morning the neighborhood became very much excited over the report that Mrs. Fiji had again attempted her life by a dose of laudanum. Friendsranin, andthe woman was walked up and down the room until the effects of the drug had passed away. CHARITY NOT REWARDED. A Young Man Robbed by a Stranger Whom He Befriended. SAN JOSE. Carn, Aug. 30.—While Lorentz Waechter of Mayfield was walk- ing around seeing the sights of the city last night he made the acquaintance of a young man who claimed to be penniless and had no place wherein to sleep. Waechter took pity on the young man, and invited him to share his bed. The stranger accepted the invitation, and they rctired about 11 o’clock. ‘Waechter woke up a couple of hours later, and found himself alone. His gold watch and chain were also missing. Waechter at once_reported the matter to the police, and Letective Anderson ar- rested a young man coming out of the Sacramento Restaurant on suspicion of being the man wanted.

Despondency the Cause of an Attempt to Commit Suicide. SAN JOSE, Can, Aug. 30.-— George Goodyear, a blacksmith, attempted to commit suicide at Milpitas yesterday by taking a large dose of opium. He was found in a barn in the rear of the Milpitas Hotel in an unconscious condition, but physicians hastily summoned succeeded in saving his life. A few years ago Goodyear owned a black- smith-shop at Milpitas and did a good business, but through a too free indul- gence of liquor lost his property. A few months ago his wife left him, and since then he has been drunk most of the time. Despondency led him to attempt his life. SLEPT ON THE TRACK. Pasquel Alvares Struck by a Traim and Killed.

Unsuecessful Seareh for the Body of Professor Nash. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., Aug. 80.— Among the passengers from the British side to-day was a dark-skinned beauty, the widow of Professor Nash, who committed suicide from the deck of the steamship Topeka recently while returning from an excursion trip to Alaska. Nash had been Government superinten- dent of the British schools in India for some years, and was on his way home to Engl-nd when he took his life. It was said by fellow- ngers that the constant n:fixh:& and bickering between himself and wi l?mmpm him to the deed. Mrs. Nash, it is said, was an Indian Princess before she wedded the pedagogue. She is now returning from an unsuccessful search for the bodv in Seymour Narrows, where she personally superintended the dragging work done by twenty native canoes.

N NEW RECORDS AT- CHICD, Foster and Cushing Lowered Two Marks for One- Third Mile. Fast Time and Exciting Finishes In Each Contest of the Wheelmen. CHICO, CAv., Aug. 30.—To-day’s bicycle meet brought out an attendance double that of yesterday. The racing was of the same brilliant order and the class B mile open proved highly sensational, Foster making a tremendous effort on the home- stretch and winning in a close finish with Jomes. Little Slator, the Arizona lad, started his sprint a trifle too late, but came on like a hurricane when he got under mo- tion, losing second place by but a few inches. Percy Mott created the sensation of the day by defeating Byrne in the class A race in as fast a finish as has been seen upon this track. Foster is without a doubt the star of the whole aggregation. He issteadily improv- ing and has a finish that seems absolutely invincible. This was demonstrated to-day when he rode through the bunch asif it were standing still. In addition to this victory he lowered the world’s record for an unpaced third of a mile to 35 4-5 sec- onds. Russell Cushing of San Jose showed up in splendid form to-day, lowering the coast record for a paced third of a mile from 42 seconds to 37 2-5 seconds, It wasa great effort, Cushing finishing with a re- markable burst of sj ‘The first event of the day was the first heat of the class A mile handicap, with | the following starters: Byrne scratch, Chapman 20 yards, Thiel 65 yards, Locker- man 85 yards, Kfrkpltrlck 100 yards and Conger 110 yards. Byrne caught the bunch on the backstretch and at the last quarter started the sprint. Kirkpatrick and Lock- erman collided, nearly throwing the rest of the bunch. Byrne won, Chapman sec- ond and Thiel, the fastest rider in this sec- tion, third. The second heat had Mott and Metcalf on the 40-yard mark, Smith 55 yards, Cook 75 yards, Ravlin 100 yards, Benson 110 ards.

Near the finish Mott, Byrne and Thiel went up with a terrific sprint, the first twn fighting for every inch, and the three came in front in the order named. In the class B, mile open, Foster and Burke had a sharp fight at the start for position, Burke getting it. On the last quarter Jones made one of his phenomenal runs and led the bunch almost to the tape, but at this point Foster made a spurt and shot to the front. Jones eased up, and 8lator narrowly missed cutting him out of second place.
