WAS A WORLD’S FAIR RESTAURANT. Holmes Tells ll<»w the Bones Got Into k His “Castle” Cellar# Philadelphia; Aug. 2.—Holmes, the nlleged wholesale murderer, was asked yesterday: “('an you explain how so many hones came to 1 e concealed in the basement and other parts of your Chicago house'?’’ “I will answer that question iu this way," ho replied. “Every person who 9 3 /©ak ’ wiSSs .fil h u rIML wk « IF K ft 1 w 'ill MU ‘a al l JtK B. H. HQLMICS. hag known me is aware that I am a doctor by profession. It is also known per-, foctly well in Chicago that there was a restaurant in my building during the world’s fair. At that time there were lots of bones from fowls and other cooked animal/ thrown outside the building. Lots of these bones, no doubt, found their way into the cellar. During the time 1 lived in the building I brought several cadavers there, l)oth for scientific aud pecuniary purposes. This may account for the bones the Chicago police say they have found.” Arkansas Convict a Fraud. Memphis, Aug. 2.—John C. Allen, the couvict who claims to know much about the doings of H. H. Holmes, is known to the Tennessee authorities, having served seven years of a 21 year’s sentence for horse steaJiug iu this state under the name of John H. Caldwell. Captain Hackett, who is familiar with Alien’s career, does not believe that the Arkansas convict and Holmes’ confidential man are the same. The captain says that Caldwell operated with the negroes and toughs, and he does not believe that such a man would be employed by Holmes in his fine swindling operations. He thinks the Arkansas convict is imposing on the officers of the law. Brooklyn Wharf Fire. Brooklyn, Aug. 2.—Fire yesterday destroyed the covered pier of Beard's stores aud did considerable damage to shipping. The bark Cairniehill, from Calcutta, took fire, as did two canalboats and three lighters.

The canalboats were damaged somewhat, and one of the lighters was entirely destroyed. A rough estimate made by the fire department officials places the loss at about $150,000. ■ . — ■"■■■ .■■,■■■»- ■■ t Liberty Bell’s Trip to Atlanta.

Many of the ICefugecH From Mexico Tn Quarantine, and Eighteen Infected With Smallpox—More Reported Coining—EiConaut Waller’s Family In Mauritiu*. Debt Statement Shown an Increase. Washington, Aug. 2.—Surgeon General Wyman of the Marine hospital service is in telegraphic communication . with the treasury officials and the state health officers in Texas, concerning the sanitary condition of the refugee negro colonists who have arrived at Eagle Pass on their return to the United from the vicinity of Torreon, Mex. In response to an inquiry from Dr. Wyman, Collector Fitch informed him that there were 244 of the refugees in camp, and that there were 18 cases of stuallpox in the crowd. Mr. Fitch also stated that it was reported that there was 200 more of the colonists to leave Torreon for Eagle Pass on Wednesday, and 40 were sick in that crowd. State Health Officer S > earingen states that the entire colonist party is quarantined four miles fr ni Eagle Pass on the American side of tile Bio Grande. He adds’that the smallpox patients are isolated and that they are receiving the attention required by sanitation. Dr. Wyman has informed Dr. Swearingen that the hospital service will cooperate with him m any way possible to check the spread of smallpox, but it does not appear probable that his services will be required. The national customs inspectors have been instructed to render all assistance they can to the state health authorities. Collector Fitch says that the negroes are shipped in crowded boxcars and are not vaccinated. ■ Ex-Consul er’n Family. Washington, Aug. 2.—A1l the members of the Waller family are at last out of Madagascar, but their misfortunes continue, and Mrs. Waller, wife of the liarrassed ex-consul, is now with her little children, helpless and stranded, ou the other side of the globe.

The letter said that the_mother and children were well, but that Mrs. Waller was suffering intense mental distress owing to her husband% misfortunes and the hardships she and the children had to undergo.

Shippers Association Reports the Apple Crop in Excellent Condition. Chicago, Aug. 2. —At the annual meeting of the National Apple Shippers association, with delegates present from apple growing states from Maine to Colorado yesterday, it was "announced that the July report of the department of agriculture, indicating a short apple crop, is entirely incorrect and misleading. Local information in their possession ah?>ws that in 'New England the crop is one of reasonable proportions, aud in New York, while light in some districts, the aggregate exceeds last year in quantity and quality, West of the Allegheny mountains the crop is declared the largest grown iu any recent year and much larger and of better quality than that of last year, the only exception being in limited districts in Ohio and Michigan and in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

T., Aug. 2.— Sheriff Burchett states that the man who was killed at Sheridan last week, aud who was identified as Dick Willett, was no other than Bill Doolin, the notorious outlaw, aud that he lived for four mouths near Kingfisher under the name of Willett without his identity being disclosed. The man who was wounded in the hip, and claiming to be a brother of the dead man, looks very much like him aud the resemblance caused the officers to think he was Doolin. The posse is still in pursuit of the remainder of the band. . Joo Pfitchen Wins the Free-For-All. j ’ CIJSVJ-.LAND, Aug. 2.—ln the free-for-all pace yesterday Robert J was beaten by Joe Patchen.
