M®E BLOODY STilMS

Further Examination of the Holmes' House of Horrors.

STRONG POINTS OF EVIDENCE.

fr- Holmes Had Given Minnie Williams

Clothes to Mrs. Pietzel—Cora Quinlan,

Daughter of the Janitor, Interviewed and

Contruoicts Some of Uer Father's State­

ments— Investigation* to Be Coutinued.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—Further examination of the room occupied by Mrs. Conjier at Holmes' castle yesterday resulted in the finding of additional blood stains upon the floor. A strong microscope was used upon the stains by an expert, who said they were undoubtedly human blood.

One of the strongest points in the -evidence accumulated against H. H. Holmes as the murderer of the Williams girls cama to light yesterday. Mrs. B. F, Pietzel said Holmes had given her a number of dresses, two or three pair of shoes and one or two hats, which had belonged to Minnie Williams.

Mrs. Pietzel said that while she was in total ignorance of the fate of the girl at the time Holmes gave her the clothing, she now firmly believes he either gave the articles in the hope of diverting suspicion from himself in case they ever were found, or to save himself further trouble in hiding or burning up the effects of the dead girl.

Cora Quinlun, dauerhter of Pat Quinlan, janitor at the 4^mes' "castle," was seen yesterday 011 a farm near Lakota, Mich. Tlie'*^irl, who is 11 years of age, told what she knows about Holmes ami his afr'airs. Siie said she had seen Pearl Conner and Mrs. Conner, iind her lather told her that Holmes had said that Mrs. Couner had been married to a muii who took her and Pearl to California.

She says that she met Miss Cigrand when she and her mother made a visit to Chicago in the summer of 1893. fcsha saw Minnie Williams in May, 181W, when she moved to Chicago. According to Cora's recollection her father was in Texas a long while. She says that she thinks he was there about seven months.

Since the arrest last November, Pat Quinlan has communicated many times with Holmes'wife in Wilmette. Cora cays that she and her father were out to ii Wilmette last East Sunday and on the vjSunday just after the Fourth of July,

The trirl says that she remembers her ather often mentioning a man named Mascot." This is the man whom linlau says he never met in Texas, Duto his daughter declares he often spoke of having met him.

T,he girl was asked if she remembered the big furnace in the basement of the building. She said her father had mentioned to her the glass bending concern run by Holmes. "It was not there," she said, "when I lived in the building, but he once pointed out to me the place to which it was moved. This I am quite sure is on the corner of Sixty-liith and Sherman streets. The building was not there then, but if the furnace was in a ceilar, perhaps it is in the ground yut."

The girl's statement explains somewhat the lailure to find the furnace and vats descrnieu by Cliappell, the skeleton articulator and the police will now investigate the lot at Sixty-fifth and Sherman btreets, where she declares the i'urnace \vu- located.

Sv One Lnwjcr Horsewhips Another.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 7.—Henry DuLaw*cuce, an attorney, administered a severe horsewhipping yesterday to F. B- Calhoun, also a lawyer and notary public. The two men have been on bad terms for along time and some remarks made by Calhoun in a justice's court trial concerning Du Lawrence started the trouble yesterday. Du Lawrence

frabbed

a riding whip and lashed Cal-

oun over the head and shoulders at least 25 times. A number of women witnessed the whipping and several of them fainted. Calhoun made no attempt to defend himself, though he is a much larger man than Du Lawrence.

^DISCOURAGING TO SPAIN.

Yellow Fev*r Carrying Off Her Cuban Sofdiera by the Hundred*.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—The World's special correspondence from Havana 6ays: "I have learned that General Campos could muster only about 600 men on arriving at Bayamo out of the 1,500 that he claimed to have had at the fight at Peralejos. The only important Cuban leaders present were Rabi and Goulet, the Maceos being two days' march away at the time. "I learn from a reliable source that General Garcia Navarro, who went from Santiago to Manzanillo with 1,500 men and joined Ge^ral Lachambre, returned a few days later to Santiago minus '00 men. Most

i.!

them had died

of disease, principally yellow fever and dysentery. "General Campos was at Cienfuegos for several days, but he has now gone to Manzanillo, it is said. While at Cienfuegos he stuck close to the steamship Villaverde, being unwilling as he said, to come ashore and be feted after his defeat. For the same reason he did not come to Havana. He looked worn and low spirited. It is undei stood that he has cable home advising thed government to be prepared for important and unfavorable advices from here in the near future. "You will perhaps not be surprised to hear that General Salcedah has been ordered back to Spain on 'sick leave.' But the real reason was his massacre of unarmed Cubans. Learning that 15 young Cubans had left Santiago to join the insurgents he had them intercepted and summarily shot. It is well known also that, he executed Cuban prisoners. "There are at least 18 Spanish generals on the island. This would seem to indicate that they have more than a tew negroes or brigands to fight."

Spanish Soldiers Dying of Yellow Fever.

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 7.—A report received here from a perfectly reliable source states that of 300 Spanish soldiers sent to garrison the town of Santa Cruz, Cuba, 100 have died of yellow fever, and that their physician is among the dead. The fever is increasing rapidly among the Spanish soldiers, but every effort is being made by the military authorities to prevent the giving out of information concerning the ravages of the disease.

Campos Hurries In.

HAVANA, Aug. 7.—Captain General Martinez de Campos arrived here unexpectedly at 1 o'clock this morning.

It is reported here, unofficially, that Senor Menocal, engaged in the service of the rebels as military engineer, has been killed. He is said to have lost his life in an action near Guay Maro.

Boats For Cuban Waters.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Steam launches Shrewsbury and Navesink have been sold by their former owners, Roberts & Hoffman, of Red Ban, to the Spanish government. The boats are for use in Cuban waters. They were shipped for Havana yesterday.

Effects of a Waterspout.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Aug. 7.—A waterspout in Likeras canon, about 12 miles from this place, last night sent water down the canon 15 feet high, and the torrent emptied into the Rio Grande. Several houses in the canon were washed away, while garden truck and farms were completely ruined.

Indications.

Generally fair weather winds becoming northwesterly.

K0UTED.

Pingwill was a nuisance. He married a respectable young woman of mature years and lives on her sufficiency, and ho goes about pretending to be a literary character on the strength of an edition of a classic, an examination success at some university place or other, and occasional reviewing. He likes to talk about books and is offensively familiar with all the masterpieces and most of the rest of English literature. He considers gabble about books intellectual conversation. He regards a quiet man smoking in a chair as fair game for his scraps of quotation—which he is as eager to void as ho is greedy to acquire —and he cannot understand that people who write books never read them and are full of bitter memories of their own adventures in authorship. He wears a pinco nez, and Mrs. Pingwill, when present, echoes all his quavering severities with the explanation that George is so satirical." He is exasperatingly reliable in the matter of names and dates, and at first, perhaps, we made the mistake of encouraging Pingwill.

Heydinger was the chief encourager of Pingwill. Ho is a humorist, a kind of person who sees jokes in things that rouse the passions of ordinary people, and he found an unaccountable pleasure in developing one particular aspect of the Pingwill constitution. No retired pork butcher's lady, no wife of a village rector who has married beneath him, could be more punctilious of her intimacy than Pingwill among his authors. And Pingwill was just as intensely sensitive to the breath of scandal, which in matters literary is called criticism. No one could be thicker with a really chic author no one readier to "cut" the writer who fell under the 6hadow of adverse comment.

He was, in fact, a literary snob—a by no means rare variety—and ho had an almost passionate dread of admiring the wrong man. He took reviews in the weeklies quito seriously. Naturally he had nothing but serene contempt for Dickens and Jerome and Mark Twain, and "people of that stamp. And Heydinger never tired of drawing him out upon Kipling. In a careless moment he had informed us that Kipling's style was rough and unfinished—it seems he tried for once to form a judgment for himself and had happened upon really quite vulgar and coarse expressions. After lie had learned better from a review, tho mere name filled him with uncomfortable memories. It was as if the rector's wife had cut tho duchess by mistake. Horrible Then he was privately in great trouble about Besant and Hall Caine. "Ought I to know tliem?" was the attitude. Tho oracles differed. Ho was deliciously guarded upon tlio:-o authors under Heydinger's most searching questions, but his face flushed guiltily. Lo Grallienne, Zangwill, and most of the younger men, who have warm friends and animated critics, bothered him more or less, and ho had a horrible dread, I know, that Ruskin, whom ho had committed himself to admire, was not quite all that ho should be. "One has to be so very particular," was Pingwill's attitude.

However, after awliile we tired of this creaturo's odd way with books, and his proximity then became, as I say, a nuisance. But Heydinger, who had formed an adequate conception of his character, suggested the remedy, and together wo routed him. Both Heydinger and I had got through a morning's work, and in he came, fresh and freshly primed. Ho dropped into a chair and emitted some indifferent romarks. "I have heard," ho said, "that these delicious child sketches of Kenneth Graham's are out in a book by themselves. "Read 'em?" said Heydinger brutally. "No—hardly—yet," said Pingwill, "but they're ^ood, aren't they?" "Very," said I, "but that's no reason Why you should go about calling them delicious before you have read them. "Perhaps not,'' said Pingwill. 'Perhaps not." "They remind me very much of Wendie Hooper," said Heydinger. "You know him, Bellows?" "Intimately," I said. "I liavo ono of his first editions at home. "You will bo reminded very much of Wendlo Hooper," said Heydinger, turning to Pingwill. "Indeed!" said Pingwill, stepping into tho trap. "Tho same subtle suggestiveness of phrase," said Heydinger. "The same delicate yot penetrating sympathy.'' "I must certainly read them," said Pingwill, evidently searching his mind for the name of Wendle Hooper and flushing slightly. "I know of no man, "said Heydinger, "except, perhaps, Lant., who comes so near to Hooper as Graliarq. You know Lant's style, Pingwill?"

Pingwill flushed a little deeper, and his ears grew pink. "I can't say," said he, "that I've read"— "He's not so well known as Hooper," I admitted. "He was in the little set (hat clustered round Leigh Hunt"—-

Pingwill suddenly felt hotter again. "I think Leigh Hunt"— he began, eviiently ready with a fragment of textDook. "Hel»orrowedfrom Lant,'' interrupt­

ed Heydinger. "Certainly he borrowed from Lant That essay on the chimney pot hat''— "Pure Lant," I said "I've neglected Lant a little, I am afraid," mumbled Pingwell, horribly bothered by this unknown name. "You should read him," said I. "He's a perfect mine of good things. That passage in Browning, for instance. You were pointing out the resemblance only this morning, Heydinger." "About the chattering disks," said Heydinger. "Youremember that, Pingwen?" "I think so," said Pingwell. "Chattering disks. I seem to recollect. How does it go?" "The chattering disks go reeling," said Heydinger, inventing boldly. "You must remember."

Pingwell now was really very uncomfortable. But he was having a lively lesson in priggish conversation. "I wish I had my Lant here," said "You surely remember about the chattering disks?" said Heydinger, turning as he pretended to search for a book on the shelf. "The phrase is quite familiar to me," said Pingwell, "but for the life of me I can't recall the context 1 It's queer what tricks one's memory plays."

Heydinger quietly resumed his seat. "Have you written anything lately?" said Pingwell to change the subject. "Yes," said Heydinger, and seeing some further question threatened, added, as if in explanation, "Alvarados.

It pulled Pingwell up abruptly. "Alvarados! Ah!" he repeated after Heydinger, with an air of comprehension. If he understood, he was certainly wiser than I. His ears were now bright red. We remained tranquil, watching him. It was not iny affair.

He returned to conversation presently with an air of having found and grasped the thing firmly. "Will you make them into a book?" he said bravely. A just perceptible dew was on his face. Heydinger evidently expected as much. "Them!" he answered. "What?" "Well—it. Alvarados." "It!" said Heydinger, raising his eyebrows. "I don't know," he said and became silent. Pingwill was evidently baffled. Very awkwardly, and after a pause, he said he hoped that would be the case. Heydinger thanked him dryly. There was an interval while we watched one another. Then he discovered his pipe was out—it always is—and asked me for the matches. He talked incoherently upon indifferent topics for a few minutes after that, and all the time I could see the trouble in his eyes, the awful doubt of his own omniscience that had arisen. Alvarados? Presently he rose to go. Routed.

As ho went out I heard him whisper to himself ver* softly, "Alvarados!" He has not been near us since. I can imagine the dismal times he has had hunting through Rabelais, Gil Bias, Hudibras, the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable for Alvarados, going through the British museum catalogue for Wendle Hooper and hunting all Browning for the "Chattering Discs," feeling most horribly ashamed of himself all tho time. I like to think of his flush of shame, the overthrow of his frail apparatus of knowledge, and ever and again Heydinger and I break the friendly silences which constitute our intercourse by saying casually, "Pingwill seems to bo dropping us altogether," or, "Don't seem to see so much of Pingwill as wo used to do, Bollow.s.'' Such reflections aro the olives of life.—H. G. Wells in New Budget.

Vesuvius a Popular Spectacle.

A Naples correspondent reports that tho lava descends Vesuvius very slowly, straggling about the crags and small ravines. Therefore the spectacle from tho observatory is very interesting, and, so far, quito safo. A large stretch of the mountain is covered by the lava from the now crater close by, and at some distance from its point of issue the fiery mass divides into smaller streams, which find their way down tho inclines to tho south of the observatory toward Resina. The country people around Vesuvius are more curious than prudent. They climb the mountain in all directions, some oven crossing with foolhardy bravery the still smoking stream. Crowds of little boys play on its very edge, where it is not so deep as to emit unbearable heat, and pick up smoking bits to throw at each other. A strange crowd of sightseers! Men in their shirt sleeves, women in their wliito jackets, come along singing, playing the tambourine, beating time even on empty petroleum tins, anything to make a noise, taking tho demonstration of the mountain as a good joke. A few carriages bring foreigners as far as it is possible, after which tho tourists must walk. The people who keep littlo drinking shops on the highroad up the mountain drive a roaring trade.

Economy of Shoe blacking.

Every morning on South Sixth street can be seen a vrell dressed, one legged young man getting his only shoo sliined. The other limb has been amputated at tho hip. As he stands

011

the one crutch

ho carries, with the shoo resting on tho bootblack's box, he is the cynosure of passersby. "That young man is a regular customer," said the shiner in reply to questions asked of him. "No he doesn't pay the regular price of 5 cents, but gives mo 15 cents every week. As he only has ono foot and has his shoe shined every day I do the job at half price. I liavo other customors of a similar character, as this neighborhood is thickly populated with cripples."— Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.

GEMS IN YERSE.

Whither?

Where goest thou, hurrying river, where? '•I follow the path made for me. And because I am weary I am going now

Par down to the quiet sea."

Where goest thou, blustering wind, oh, where? "Far into the untraveled land, And because I am weary there I will rest

With the quiet rocks and sand."

Where goest thou, sailing cloud, oh, where? "I know of a barren waste, And because I am weary there I will seek

A juiet resting place."

Where goest thou, swift flying bird, oh, where? "Far into the forests now, And there I will rust, for I've weary grown,

On a safe and beautiful bough."

And thou, my soul, where goest tliou? "Higher than clouds I go. Eternal love, for I am weary here,

Will bear me aloft, I know." —Philadelphia Ledger.

Officers Did It All. ,,

The "general" tells, with swelling pride. How the fires of battle gleamed, Of the slaughter of men "011 the other side"

As the shell and shrapnel screamed How "we charged tha foe like the mighty wave

Of a wild and stormy sea," But in that rush of the true and brave The private—whore was he?

The "colonel" boasts how his horse fell On Georgia's blood stained hills How he stemmed the wave of that battle holl,

Avenging his country's ills How the ghastly heaps of tho gallant slain Bestrewed the slippery ground, But wo study the tragic tale in vain-

There were no privates round.

Oh, the "major's" sword, it was red with gore, And great was the foes' alarm, As they charged and halted and fled before

The swing of his mighty arm, But freedom burnished her epaulets, As she swatted the hosts of sin, And the lonely pensioner still forgets^

That privates were not in.

How brave they flew, at their country's call, To the outposts, far in front, "Generals," "colonels" and "majors," all

To strive in tho battle's brunt. And the "captains" stand, ten thousand strong,

To tell how the thing was done, But where was the "private" in that throng? Alas, thero was not one! —Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Dreamland.

Where sunless rivers weep Their waves into tho deep She sleeps a charmed sleep.

Awake her not. Led by a single star, She came from very far To seek where shadows

are,

Her pleasant lot.

She left the rosy morn, She left the fields of corn, For twilight cold and lorn

And water springs. Through sleep, as through

a veil.

She sees the sky look pale And hears tho nightingale That sadly sings.

Rest, rest, a perfect rest Shed ovor brow and breast Her face is toward the west,

The purple land. She cannot see tho grain Iiipeninf? on hill and plain. She cannot feel tho rain

Upon her hand.

Rest, rest forevermore Upon a mossy shore. Rest, rest at the heart's core

Till time shall cease. Sleep that 110 pain shall wake, Ni rht that 110 morn shall break, Till joy shall overtake

Her perfect peace. —Christina Rossetti.

Full of lieaut.y.

Hero's the beauty of the meadows, stretching far and far away, And the tinkling of the dewdrops on tho daisies ever3- day, And the sun is growing brighter as it streams from east to west, And the heart is growing lighter, and the love is growing best.

Here's the singing of the mocking birds. Why, when the day ain't bright They keep their mellow music, and they sing to you at night. And the groves become all glorious, and tha hills assume a light That is splendid for the singing of the mocking birds at night.

Here's the greening of the maples, with their twinkling, tinkling leaves, And the silkworm with the beauty and the wonder that he weaves, And "here's your lady's dresses I" and tho spider webs, like milk, And tho wholo world is in purple, and in scarlet, and in silk.

Oh, the world is growing brighter, no matter how it rolls 1 The sunshine's streaming whiter through 0 million, trillion souls! And there's nothing like tho present, and there's nothing like tho past, And it's all so mighty pleasant that we wish that life would last. —Philadelphia Pross.

Be Strong.

Bo strong to bear, O heart of minol Faint not when sorrows como. The summits of these hills of earth Touch tho blue skies of homo. So many burdened ones thero are Close journeying by thy side Assist, encourage, comfort them Thine own deop sorrow hido. What though thy trials may seem great, Thy strength is known to God, And pathways steep and rugged lead To pastures green and broad.

Bo strong to love, O heart of mine! Live not for self alone, But find in blessing other lives Completeness for thine own. Seek every hungering heart to feed, Each saddened heart to cheer, And whero stern justice stands aloof In pity draw thou near. Kind, loving words and helping hands Have won more souls for heaven Than all the dogmas and tho creods By priests and sages given.

Bo strong to hope, O heart of minol Look not on life's dark sido, For just beyond those gloomy hours Rich, radiant days abido. Let hope, like summer's rainbow bright, Scatter thy falling tears, And let God's precious promises Dispel thy anxious fears. For every grief a Letho oomes, For every toil a rest So hope, so love, so patient hear, God doeth all things best. —Womankind.
