His Lines of 'Crime are Somewhat. Diversified. BosTON, Dec. 30.—The Rev. William Hammond, known throughout the United States and especially New England as ' a confidence man, bigamist and .sWiindler, has been up to his Old tricks in Auckland, New Zealand. According to letters re- ceived by the police of this city from the Auckland authorities, he succeeded in marrying a wealthy Widow. there, and, after securing $8,000 of her money, desert- edher, leaving for Japan, where he is now supposed to be. This marriage makes hisninth, as far as known, and at least . five of the victimized women are living. He has acted as a ' Methodist, Unitarian, Freewill Baptist, and Presbyterian minis- ter, as a physician and lawyer, and had joined and. been expelled from many se- cret societies. Yet, with all his misdeeds, he had been arrested only twice, and each . time‘escsped punishment by some start- ling theatrical play at his trials. He appeared in Yuka, Cal., some years ago, and had with him two women, one of whom he called his wife and the other his sister. He preached in the Methodist Church. Complaints began to arise, however, of his attentions to women. of his congregation, and while the citizens were preparing to investigate him his al- leged wife and sister died within a week of each other. He collected some $2,000 on policies on their lives, and shortly af- terward skipped the town, leaving a num- ber of creditors. At South Poultney, N. Y., he acted,as a Catholic priest and is said to have appro- priated a sum of church money, when he left town suddenly. In Allentown, Pa., he is remembered as a Presbyterian min— ister and a “conscienceless liar and profil- gate.” At Indian Lake, Ind., 21 house that he lived in was burned and he secured $1,500 insurance on the furniture. Here another alleged wife died and $1,000 life insurance . came to him. Late in 1885 he appeared as a preacher in NewBedford, Mass., and aftersix months’ service was driven out of town. He was a Unitarian there. At' Franklin Falls, N. H., he was a Free WilLBaptist minister and married a widow, Mrs. W. H. Brock- way. After the marriage he got $2,000 deposited in a savings bank in her name and also secured a $1,000 bond she held. Then, Mrs. Brockway says, he dosed her with morphine and left town. Hammond was arrested in Boston and taken to Franklin Falls, but when his wife recov- ered her money she dropped the criminal complaint. A few months later he was arrested for perjury in Montreal, where he was living with another wife, and the police found in his room a full kit of burglar’s tools. In the summer of 1887 he was a lawyer in Macon, Fla., and married wife No. 8. He was arrested for selling liquor without a. license but jumped his bail and deserted his wife. He turned up in Savannah, Ga. , where, representing himself as a Mason and Odd Fellow, he sold a piece of land which didn’t exist to a Mr. Jackson for $1,000. In December, 1887, he was ar- rested ‘in Fulton county, 111., the day be— fore he was to marry again, and was charged with fleecing a farmer .of $1,000. The money was returned and Hammond got off with an eight months’ sentence. BRIGGS CASE UNFINISHED. The End of the Voting th Expected Till ' Tomorrow.

CINCINNATI, 0., Dec. 30.——When Dr. Dorsching began an autopsy on the body of Patrick Hall at the morgue to satisfy the latter’s wife, Hall had been on the marble eight or 10 hours. Heart disease was the cause given. The body was so warm that it attracted attention, but there was no doubt of death until blood gushed out as the surgeon’s knife entered the flesh. Restoratives were resorted to both external and internal, and the body maintained its heat until late in the day, when with a slight tremor the body al- most instantly became rigid. _' An Ingenious Engineer. FRANKLIN,IO., Dec. 30.—The flange on a front wheel of the engine pulling the night express on the Mackinaw road was broken off south of Paulding, Ohio, and the engine almost. left the track on a steep grade.

HALIFAX, N. 8., Dec. 30.—-There was much excitement among shipping men when it was reported that the Cunard steamship Umbria was heading for Hali- fax. Anumber of old sea captains who were asked their opinion expressed the belief that she would not come to this port. Their reasons were that the Umbria when reported by the Gallileo was nearly 200 miles southeast from here, and that the northwest wind which has continued would prevent her proceeding in this di- rection if her machinery were disabled.

CLEVELAND’S ATTITUDE GREAT CHANGE. ISA Bourke Cockran Says He is Not a Candidate. NEW YORK, Dec. 30. —- Mr. Cleveland had a number of visitors at his offices in the Mills building yesterday afternoon. Mr. Cleveland does not like to have the names of his visitors printed. It may be stated that in the Senatorial controversy Mr. Cleveland will not take a hand in the fight in Wyoming, Montana and Kansas. The Senate committee selected to look after this business has this affair in charge, and Mr. Cleveland will interest himself in the Senate contests in New York, West Virginia, Missouri, Wiscon- sin, Texas, California, Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky. Concerning the interesting situation in New York, the information last night was to the effect that Edward Murphy, Jr., was still a candidate to succeed Mr. Hiscock. It was reported by close friends of William 0. Whitney, Richard Croker, Hugh McLaughlin and others that it would be considered inadvisable to de- feat the wishes of the regularly organized Democracy of the State. Last night Sen- ator Gorman, of Maryland, Mr. Whitney and Speaker Crisp dined together and then went to the theatre. It was the opin- ion of all three that Mr. Murphy would be elected United States Senator from the State of New York. Senator German did not have time to call on Mr. Cleveland. He is in town on personal business, and before he goes away he will see the President-elect. Something has been said about the pro- nounced opposition‘of Mr. Cleveland to Mr. Murphy. It is very well known that Mr. Cleveland, no more than a week ago, said to friends in his confidence that he believed that Mr. Murphy would go to Washington friendly to him. Yet aweek later he comes out with his statement in opposition to .Mr. Murphy’s candidacy. Just who has brought this about very few in New York care to state. It is well known, though, that ex-Mayor William R. Grace, the bitter opponent of Mr. Hill and Mr. Murphy for ten years, has been in close communion with Mr. Cleveland during the last week. The Hon. W. Bourke Cockran came home last night from Washington. Mr. Cockran, on being asked concerning a re- port about his candidacy for the United States Senatorship, said: ' “I am not a candidate for the office of Senator. Nobody has been authorized to use my name in connection with it.” Some Opposition has been reported to the re-election of Charles Frederick Crisp to the Speakership of the House. The Speaker had luncheon at the Hoffman House yesterday with. Mr. Croker, Mr. Whitney and several ‘others. It was un- derstood among these gentlemen that Mr. Crisp was the favorite, and that he was likely to be the next Speaker ofthe House, notwithstanding outside objec- tions. In fact, it may be stated pretty em- phatically that Mr. Crisp will be the next Speaker of the House of Representatives. Senator Roger. Q. Mills was at the Hoff- man House last night,and he shook hands very graciously with Mr. Crisp. The Sena- tor from Texas grasped the hand of Mr. Crisp and wished him all luck imaginable. Mr. Mill said that he had not had time yet to visit Mr. Cleveland. As the days go on only one place in the Cabinet is reported to be positively allotted ——the Navy, to Col. Daniel S. Lamont. There are so many complications concern- ing the Senate fights in other States that? Mr. Cleveland apparently does not care to go ahead. A good many Assemblyman and Sena- tors started for Albany yesterday. The Democrats assemble there on Tuesday next. The programme is still Assembly- man Sulzer for Speaker, and Assembly- man Daniel Martin for leader of the House. Hamilton Fish, Jr., is to lead the Republican minority, according to pres- ent report. Bourke Cockran’s Intentions. WAsHINGTON, D. 0., Dec. 30.—The Star says: “Bourke Cockran left yesterday for New York. It is generally believed that he is going to enter for the Senatorship against Murphy. Some of the Cleveland people have for some days been trying to induCe Mr. Cockran to permit the use of his name and it is be- lieved that it had been arranged for him to enter the fight before Mr. Cleveland came out in the interview opposing Mr. Murphy.” Blaine Going “'lth Medlll. CLEVELAND, 0., Dec. 30.—Colonel A. L. Conger, of Akron, who for years has been recognized as One of James G. Blaine’s warmest-personal friends, was in this city yesterday. Speaking of the statesman’s health us said: “Mr. Blaine has been in- vited by Joseph Medill, of the Chicago Tribune, to spend the winter with him at his winter home in Pasadena, Cal., and he will go as soon as his attending physi- cians deem it safe and advisable to move him.” An Advantage for Republicans. . CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 30.——By ruling that the minor statutory directions for carrying on an election by the Australian system are mandatory the Supreme Court gives the Republicans a temporary ad- vantage in the celebrated case from Car- bon county involving two seats in the Legislature and a United States Senator- ship.

Jeffer- son, whose bride jumped from a window of the Atlantic Hotel to escape him and Clerk Roberts, was at the Harrison street station early yesterday morning asking to see his wife. Afterpleading for sometime his wife, with much reluctance, consented to talk with him. Jefferson told the woman that he did not care for her money but loved her for herself alone, and tried to induce her to accompany him to his home in Oregon. This the woman declined to do, and informed Jef- ferson in very plain terms that she was through with him forever, and never wished to see him again. Robber Dunlap a Free Elan. BOSTON, Dec. 30.—James Dunlap left the Charlestown State prison at 10 O’clock yes- terday morning accompanied by Mrs. Mary Scott-Rowland and George Abbott James, his warmest friends.

Dec. 30.—Anarchists are taking rummage of the disturbance caused by the Panama scandal to inaugurate a reign of terror in which prevailed when Ravachol and his Yrsterdsy a l-mn'rb, heavily charged ll'iEJZ chl:>rsz:.--- powder: was exploded in the entresoi cf the: Prefecture of Police. The explosion cause-El no fatally, but Windows were smashed and woodwork damaged and a. portion of-the (oiling brought down. The policethink that the explosion has something to do with the here. of Francois, the Anarchist accused of connection with the Cafe Very explosion. The best detectives in Paris have been detailed on the case, and arrests of An- archist-s, whether the real culprits or not, are certain to follow. It was thought at first that the explo- sion was caused by leaking gas, but ex- perts were placed on the case and they have established beyond doubt the fact thata bomb had been exploded. Frag- ments of cast iron which had formed the shell of the bomb were scattered about the place. These were fitted together as well as could be done, and showed that that the bomb had been of sufficient size to contain two pounds of explosive ma- terial. _ The explosion was badly timed. Had it occurred at an earlier hour there is no doubt that many persons would have been killed.

WRONG ABOUT SATOLLI. Reports of Hi. Mission to This Country Said to be Ovcrdrawn. ROME, Dec. 30.—The Moniteur, organ of the Vatican, says that recent reports to the United States are overdrawn, and promises to give fuller light shortly on the subject. Cabled reports from the 'United States in regard to the differences of opinion ex- isting there are attracting more attention among Roman ecclesiastics than almost any other foreign topic. Some of the ad- vices received are construed as indicating insubordination toward the Papal au- thority in high quarters in American. Should this be shown to the satisfaction of the Vatican decisive action, it is rumor- ed, will be taken to enforce complete and uneqoivocal obedience to the will of the Supreme Pontiff, no matter who may be affected by the pontifical action.
