fjmaha and St. Joe played another very
pretty game yesterday , the boys from down
the river winning with but llttlo apparent
exertion. That the fielding was sharp and
decisive Is testified to by the fact that there
were no less than six double plays , four fall
ing to Omaha and two to St. Joe. The story
of the defeat Is told by the Hutchlnson fam
ily's base hit nnd error column. Lehman , as
usual , played a line game , and Darby's pitchIng -
Ing was the kind which generally wins
games. Tor the visitors , every man played
good , steady ball , and with Slagle's magnifi
cent work on the slab , It would have been
next to a miracle had Omaha won. Score :

NEW YORK , July 20. Defender has met
Vigilant and vanquished her over a course
of fifteen miles to windward and return In
the same waters that the cup race will take
place In , In September , The course was on"
of the kind wherein Valkyrie HI , will meat
the cup defender , and that Defender Is a
boat much superior to the Vigilant was
clearly proven. The new boat not , only out
sailed the old champion to a remarkable
extent , but she outfootcd her as well , when
sailing to windward. Moreover , on the run
home before the wind , with Vlgllant's centerboard -
board hauled , she gained on the champion ,
an advantage that her most enthusiastic ad
mirers did not anticipate. The weather vvns
about what ls to be expected during the
season In which the cup races will take
place. There was a good breeze of from
twelve to fifteen knots an hour blowing
throughout the day and the water was
smooth. Taking everything Into consUera-
tlon , the trial was all that could have been
expected for In Its results. It Is believed the
Vigilant has been Improved from five to ten
minutes over such a course , and If this Is
the case the Defender must bo a marvel.
The public did not seem to understand that
the race of today and that of Monday may
do away altogether with the necessity of
formal trial races. Therefore the very Inter
esting race was witnessed by a compara
tively small number of people. A yachtsman
who has witnessed all the races during the
last twenty years says that In his experience
he never saw anything prettier In the way
of a start than that of today. They were
both of them over and away so quickly after
the starting gun boomed that every on
looker knew the fight was to bo to the death.
Vigilant was In perfect trim. It Is thought
the owner of the Vigilant has spent anywhere -
where from $50,000 to $75,000 In getting his
boat ready , either to beat the Defender , nnd
In that way enable him to carry out a cherIshed -
Ished desire , or to convince the American
cup committee that In beating his boat De
fender will be well worthy of her name. There
was no doubt In the mind of any expert who
saw the race today that Vigilant wassailed
for all that was In her. That she was beaten
can bo explained only ono way , that Is , that
the other racer was a better boat.
The program called for a start at 11 a. m ,
and It was only twenty minutes after that
hour that the regatta commenced. The club ,
who had arranged the race and were on
board tCommodoro Brown's steam > acht
Sylvia , ordered the firing of the preparatory
gun. Sylvia tool : up n position to the east
ward of the Scotland light and notified the
yachts by signal that the course was to be
from an Imaginary line between the flagship
and the mainmast of the Scotland light , to
windward , out Into the open water or down
the New Jersey coast and return before the
wind.
TEN-MILE WIND.
The wind at tills time was blowing about
ton miles an hour , almost duo from the
south. The same breeze held all day. It
even Increased during : the afternoon , but the
sea was nt no tlmo rough. Boats cruised
around to the eastward of the starting line
until the word was given. When that did
come both were standing- toward the New
Jersey coast with the wind coming over the
port side. They tacked down. Defender al
ways In the lead nnd getting over the water
at a very rapid rate. Vigilant appeared to
ba rather sluggish , even as early In the day
as that when .they both came around and
headed back : toward the Scotland lights ,
where she took more the form of a racer.
Defender was at least four lengths ahead
Coming up close to the lightship- . Defender
was still several lengths ahead. She came
around under the stern of the o'd vessel and
then stood , off. Both yachts had set main-
stlls , staysails. Jibs and Jib top sails , with a
great club topsail at the head ot their masts.
Defender's club topsail Is the biggest top
sail that was over put at the top of a single
stick , and In view ot the fact that the De
fender's gaff nms almost up- and down from
pole to deck , the size ot the sail may b3
estimated. Round the lightship she' ' flung
herself across the line In a way that was not
only clover from the expert standpoint , but
beautiful. In twenty-five seconds came Vigi
lant , and she looked beautiful roundingthe -
lightship.
The yachts started over the line on the
starboard tack. Defender was not fifty feet
beyond the line when she went over to the
port tack and headed for the New Jersey
shore. Vigilant continued on her tack off
shore up to. 11:35 , or over four minutes from
the time when she- went over on her original
tack. At 11-37 Defender went about again.
In taclo that followed some people took the
time between the luff In the wind and a full
sail on the other tack as ten seconds. Val
kyrie was Indisputably a quick boat to tack.
She gained somewhere between ten and fif
teen seconds on Vigilant In getting about. If
Defender can make her turn from full to full
In anything like fifteen seconds she will do.
On every tack that was made Defender
showed np In the lead and her pointing up
against the wind waa something astounding.
Defender's satis were almost chock full of
wind , yet she headed up higher than the old
boat by from a point to a point and a half.
The Herreschoff model was steadily Increas
ing tbe lead until she mistook the spot where
the turning buoy was placed , and by this misJudgment -
Judgment lost probably three and a half min
utes. At the time Defender made the mis
take at the buoy she was something more than
a mile ahead. Getting back to her course ,
however , she rounded the buoy two minutes
and thirty-four seconds ahead ot Vigilant.
Heading up for home the yachts ran up bal
loon Jib topsails , swung over their spinnaker
Jlbbooms and set their salts over them. In
the handling of the sails Defender showed
the excellent training that her crew had
undergone , while the Vlgilant'a men were
slower. In running home It looked as though
Vigilant , with her center board hauled up ,
was gaining ; but Defender went over the line
first by two minutes and forty-live seconds ,
having increased her lead on that run by
forty-one seconds.

PHILADELPHIA , July 20. The Press
oday prints an Interview with II. 11. Holmes ,
\ho was visited In his prison cell by a re-
torter of tbat paper. Holmes Insists that be
can prove an alibi with reference to the mur-
ler of the Pltzel children In Toronto , and
says the nuthoiltles here cannot prove that
Mtzel was murdered In this city. In vlow
of the 11 ml Ing In Chicago of the charred
jonca supposed to bo those of Minnie Vv'll-
lams , as reported exclusively In the Asso
ciated press dispatches last night , Holmes
statements with reference to that joung
roinan are Interesting. He sais : "I am as
nnocent as a new-born babe of the charge
of murdering the Pltzel children. I don't
) cllove they were ever murdered , and If
hey were I am not guilty. Why , the last
line I saw the boy , Howard Pltzel , was In
ndlanapolls. Miss Williams was then In
Jetrolt , and we had airanged that she take
toward cast. Soon after noon I sent the
boy to her In Detroit , Intending to follow-
soon. Deforo I reached Detroit , however ,
Minnie Williams had taken Howard east and
topped In Buffalo. I then came east with
the two girls , and finally wound up In To
ronto. We had been there a short time
when my wife arrived She knew nothing
about the existence of the Pltzel children.
Mrs. Pltzel , Dess and the baby came to
Toronto shortly after. Neither Mrs. Pltzel ,
ny wife , nor Alice and Nellie Pltzel knew
of each other's presence In that city.
"I had good reasons for not letting Mrs.
Pitzel know of the pioxlmlty of her chll-
Ircn. for she was then in delicate health.
Wo first thought of sending Mrs. Pltzel along
with Mlnnlo Williams and the three children
to England , but her delicate health pre
cluded the Idea. The man Hatch was In
Toronto at that time. Finally It was decided
to send Allcj and Nellie Pltzel on to Niagara
Palls , where Mlnnlo Williams and Howard
were Every thing was gotten In readiness
for their departure.
HIDDEN FROM THEIR MOTHER.
"I had quite a hard time keeping the chil
dren's presence hidden from Mrs. Pltzel.
"I succeeded , however , and escorted them
to the railway station , where Hatch had
gone by prearrangement. The four of lu
got on the train , and I rode probably n few
miles' out of the city with the children ,
When I was about to get off of the train
Hatch suggested that he accompany the
glrh a few stations further , so that there
would not be any mistake about their tick-
eta. Nellie and Alice were traveling on
ialf-farea , and I wanted to be sure that
: hey got along on one whole ticket , which
; he conductor had not taken up when I left
the train. So he went with the children , and
tie can tell where they can be found If anyone
ono can.
"I came back to Toronto about 4 o'clock
In the afternoon , and four hours later Mrs
Pitzel and tha two children had boarded a
train for Burlington , as It was thought better
she should stop at a quiet hotel at that place
Before leaving Toronto for Burlington with
my wife , next morning , I met Hatch. He
seemed all right , but there were no questions
asked about the children , as I wanted the
matter kept from my wife. He stajed there
after us. When we arrived at Ogdensburg
on our way to Burlington , Mrs. Pltzel was
there.
"After sending my wife to a hotel , I
went to see Mrs. Pltzel. Hatch came to
town In a few days and rented a vacant
house , where he put In a bed , a chair and
a little stove. These things were to bo found
wherevqr Hatch was , as he never lived In a
hotel , for private reasons. All our trunks
were taken to this house , and kept there
until we- left Burlington. Ono afternoon I
took Mrs. Pltzel to the Hatch hoiytehold and
showed her thg trunks , one of which needed
mending. She saw the bed , the chair and
th9 little stove , and can tell about It to this
day. We stayed at Ogdensburg for over a
week , and then went to Burlington. Hatch
went to Montreal to attend to some busi
ness. I may say here that Hatch and myself
were engaged In buying furs and other goods
and * smuggling them across the border
That's why the trunks were sent to the
vacant house In Ogdensburp. When we
ware about two weeks In Burlington , or
thrjo weeks after the two Pltzel girls had
left Toronto , I went to a telegraph office to
wire Hatch In Montreal to go to Niagara
Palls and see the Pltzel children and Miss
Williams off to Curope.
THROWS SUSPICION ON HATCH.
"I had written the message , and was
about to hand it to the operator when Hatch
walked Into the olllce. It was a surprise to
me to sea him there , when I was under
the Impression thai he was buying stuff In
Montreal Where he had been since I left
Ogdensburg up to that time I don't know.
I wish I did , and don't think that a cell
In prison would be my home today If I knew
that. Shortly after that I was arrested
"Now the district attorney. Superintendent
Linden and all thess Insurance people will
tell you that Hatch Is a myth. The Insur
ance officers and agents know better.
"Why , I had scarcely thought gf the oc
currence In the telegraph office In Burlington
when one day last December , Peary , the In
surance agent , asked me who that man was
whom I met In the telegraph ofilcc. I an
swered that the man was Hatch.
"The company's detectives tracked ins all
through the country , although I tried my
best to avoid them. They know very well
who Hatch Is , and they know that he was In
Burlington I am almost positive that they
know much more about the movements of
Hatch than I do.
"Rolng back to Toronto again , and the
finding of the two bodies In the cellar of the
St. Vincent house , I can say with all con
fidence that I can prove an alibi to any
charge that mar be brought against me
there. I can gtt at least six of the best
known business men to swear that I could
not have rented the house where the bodies
were found at the time stated by all thoss
witnesses.
"Hatch may have treated the children
nil right , but where did they get to It not to
London with Minnie Williams ? Hatch was In
Toronto the day I left there with my wife
for Ogdensburg on my way to Burlington.
"I am eager to go to Toronto to stand my
trial for the murder of Nellie * and Alice
Pitzel. "
Mrs. Howard , wlfo number three of II. II.
Holmes , arrived In this city last night In
response to District Attorney Graham's dis
patch. Sne Is being closely guarded from
Interviews and no Information will be given
aa to her whereabouts , tin Monday she In
expected to have a conference with Mr.
Graham tor tbo purpose of throwing some
light on Holmes' movements while In Toronto
and elsewhere.
IDENTIFIES THE BODIES.
TORONTO. July 20. Mrs. Pltzel has
Identified the bodies of the two children
found In the cellar un St. Vlncont
street as those of her girls. Allco
and Nellie. The latter she Identified by her
hsjr and the former by a peculiarity of her
upper front teeth. She was not allowed to
see any othr part of the bodies , as both
were In such an advanced state of decompo
sition tint It was thought the shock would
derange her.
As It was Mrs. Pltzel broke down com
pletely and sobbed and cried throughout the
trying ordeal and long afterward. The de
tectives and the doctors were perfectly satis
fied with the Identification. The case which
the Canadian authorities now have against
Holmes Is very complete and li much
stronger than that made out against him at
Philadelphia , which fact leads a great many
here to bellave that the prisoner will cer
tainly be extradited.
Summed up , this Is the case : Holmes had
been traced from the United States to this
city with the children. Ills Identity was
established at the Palmer house and tbat of
the children at the Albion. Then both
murderer and victims were recognized at the
very scene of the crime , not by ou witness -
ness , but by several. An ImmedJaU motive
for committing the deed U also clearly
shown , being due to the fact that Mrs. Pftzel
was In tbe city anil might at any time meet
the children on tbe street. Holmes bor
rowed a spade on tbe last day the girl * were
street , after Holmes had left the place , was
the first witness examined. He- told how ha
seen alive at tbe cottage or anywhere else.
? IvlnR as his reason for doing so that ha
wished to make a , bin for some potatoes ,
which statement was shown to bo palpably
false. All this , and his going away the next
day , are strong corroborative facts from
which Holmes will find It hard lo escape.
The Inquest on the body of Alice , the
eldest girl , wai resumed at the police court
ast night. William McDonald , the tail who
Ived with his parents at 1C St. Vincent
md found the snake toy which Howard
Pltzel used to play with In a satchel In a
losct In ono of * hc bedrooms of the house.
IP did not know what becameof any other
irtlcles , but because of Its peculiarity be had
< ept the toy. Mrs. Pltzel was the next
witness. Tor the first few minutes of her
examination her \olco coultl hardly be heard ,
jilt as the Inquiry proceeded It gained
strength and toward the close she was
ipeaklng clearly. She told the story of
Holmes' wanderings with the children , as far
is she knew of them : of her meetings with
ilm ; In fact , the whole story that has been
itade public through the press. Her de
scription of the satchels spoken of by Mrs.
McDonald tallied with that given by the
ad. She also stated that the snake toy did
tot belong to Howard , but was one of the
treasures of the girl , Nellie , who always
carried It with her In the satchel.
The doctor making the postmortem ex
amination stated that owing to the decom
posed condition of the body It was almost
mposslble to make any statement conrern-
ng external violence. The stomach has not
ret been analyzed. The Inquest then nd-
lourned until the evening of the 24th Inst.
While this Inquiry was In progress nn
tiquest was being held nt the morgue on the
body of the children. After hearing evl- I
lenco to show that the body was the one |
removed from the St. Vincent street house
the Inquest was adjourned for ono week.
Mrs. Pltzel Is prostrated today. The ter
rible ordeal of viewing her children's bodies
njid the crimes that were brought out at |
the Inqupst and the sight of her children's j
tojs combined to break her down She v\lll
probably start on n Journey to Chicago to
night.
The bones of Allco Pletzel and llttlo Nellie
Imvo found their final resting place. This
nfternoon two small graves were opcncl In
St. James' cemetery , and therein the re
mains of the llttlo victims were laid. The
mournful cortege comprised only two chil
dren's hearses and a closeil carriage contain
ing Mrs. Pletzel and Detectives Culllo and
Oreor. The grief-stricken mother was
scarcely equal to the ordeal after her ox-
i > erlence of yesterday , but Insisted on par
ticipating In the last rites. A short burial
service was held at the grave.
SKAUCIIINU roil MISSING IIODIKS.
Chicago Detectives In Hot Chime After n
DlRnffruoaulo Otlnr.
CHICAGO , July 20 The search for the
bodies of the missing Williams girls was
begun early today In the house In Englewood
formerly occupied by the alleged murderer ,
H. II. Holmes. Yesterday's developments
led to the belief that evidences of the
supposed crime were concealed somewhere
about the house and the suspicion of neigh
bors and detectives pointed strongly toward
the large cellar , In whlcn a disagreeable odor
had been detected. The belief was that the
odor was that of decaying flesh , and tint
the search would reveal the body of the
second Williams girl from Texas , and possi
bly that of little Howard Pltzol. Inspector
Fltzpatrlck accordingly put n force of men
to work digging up the damp earthen floor
of the place. The cellar Is over 100 foot long
and half as wide , and the task was a tedious
one , as every Inch of ground and spadeful of
earth was carefully examined by the detec
tives who were superintending the work.
Inspector Fltzpatrlck , who was In charga of
the detectives , Is convinced that the Inves
tigation will lead to startling developments.
He Is positive , he said , that there Is some
tort of decaying animal matter concealed
Vn the cellar , and confidently expects to
find traces of the crime.
Another Important discovery was made
during the search , In the old stove In which
human bones were said to have been found
While examining this stove today the police
found several shoe buttons , and tbe charred
portion of a woman's shoe , with several
shreds of clothing , portions of a "hook and
eye. " It was rumored that several more
bones had been discovered , but this was
denied. All parts of the house were gone
over In search of clews , the Interest , how
ever , centering In the cellar. The place
was In a filthy condition , being plied full of
old boxes and all sorts of refuse.
The examination of the large grate of
Holmes' stove resulted In another startling
discovery , when two charred bones' resemb
ling human ribs , were found among the
ashes. The bones were badly burned and
were handled with great care to prevent
their being broken. The finding of the sup
posed ribs with the burned woman's shoe , the
buttons and pieces of cloth , were considered
by the police as practical proof that at least
a portion of the body of a woman had been
cremated. The stove Is a very large one ,
about six feet high and four feet In diameter ,
and would easily have held n body. The
ash grateIn which the two bones vvero
found today had been removed from the
stove , this accounting for the fact that the
discovery was not mode during previous ex
aminations.
MORE IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES.
Late this afternoon a bunch of human hair
was found In the chimney of Holmes' house
by Eevera" newspaper renorters. The stovo-
plpo had been taken down , and clinging to
the bricks In the chimney was found a quan
tity of hair. The police were notified and
upon examination the hair was pronounced
that of a woman. The appearance of the
locks led to the belief that they had been
burned from the head and drawn up the
stovepipe. The discovery was considered of
the greatest Importance by the detectives In
charge of the search.
Among the debris found In the house was
a bottle of carbolic acid , which gave rise tea
a wild rumor that opiates had been dis
covered , wlt'i ' other evidence , which proved
that Holmes had klllcj his victims with
poison and afterward burned their bodies.
The police , however , laugh at the story and
declared that the carbolic add had probably
been used as a disinfectant.
While workmen were digging In the cellar
of the Holmes' Chicago house today a ter
rific explosion occurred , seriously Injuring
four men , ono ot thorn thought to bo fatally
hurl.
The men had been sea.rcnlng for n hidden
well. In which U was thought that the bodies
might have been burled. When the well
was opened a quantity of gas rushed out
Into the cclltr , overpowering the men. Ono
of the laborers who was In the house nbovo
rushed to their assistance , and striking a
match the explosion followed. Pour men
were csrrleJ out badly burned , but con
trary to first report. It Is not thought that
any were fatally Injure. ! The tcarch was
Immediately resumed by another force of
men. When the explosion occurred It was
at first thought by the officers In charge that
the explosion was caused by dynamite. They
hastily surmised that a trap was laid by
Holmes to pievent the possibility of n dis
covery of the bodies supposed to bo burled.

CHICAGO. July 20. The Redmond mys
tery Is revived today In n new aspect , a con

Some jc.irs ago Chicago was startled by
the bold kidnapping of llttlo Amilo Redmond ,
daughter of a South sldo blacksmith. Her

rested for the crime and sentenced to flvo
years In the penitentiary Mrs Ourley re
fused to talk much nbout the C-IM at the
time , but threw out hints about having done
the Job at the Instigation of other parties
This was considered by the police to bo
done merely for effect and no orginlzed eft rt
was in ail o to look up the woman's associ
ates. Slnco the exposure of Holmes' ras
cality U has been oscertaliiol the Gurley.i
vvoro not only neighbors of hla at Slxtv-
third and Wallace streets , but were on Inti
mate terms soclnllly with him. It la clear
enough now to these who hive Investigated
the matter that the mysterious abduction ot
the Rcdmodn child was a Job put up by
Holmes and ho used the Gurleys over whom
ho had some queer control as his tools.
Whether the obtaining of a ransom was his
solo object la a matter for doubt. The pe
culiar manner of the kidnapping , the way
In which the child was concealed and the
mysterious wording of the messages which
were sent to harass the parents , tend to
show soiiio hidden motive. Mr. Redmond
and his wlfo quarreled over the matter and
the blacksmith went Insane and was ar
raigned In court , his wife appearing aa
prosecuting witness. A blx lot ot money
was spent In trying to locate the girl before
the trail was flnilly struck which led to the
arrest of Mrs. Qurley and yet there was
never n tlmu when the child was moro than
halt a block from Holmes' store , her Identity
being effectinlly concealed by dressing her
In boy's clothes. _
