The sale of the Whisky Trust's plants has been confirmed by the federal court. Judge Seaman today entered the order substantially as presented by the counsel for the American Spirits Manufacturing Company. The opposition endeavored to secure an appeal from the action of the court, but it was refused. The new organization has no more legal hindrance in the way of engaging In business as the successors of the eld trust. The objections of Greenhut, Morris, Lindsay and Olmstead to the decree sale were then presented, and Mr. Mayer, the opposing counsel, moved to strike them out. The chief objection was that the American Spirits Manufacturing Company was not the assignee of the reorganization committee. Mr. Allen, for tlie receiver, announced that he had looked up that question, and was of opinion that the company was the legal assignee of the committee, and entitled to receipt for the properties. Arguments for and against sustaining the objections were made, and at the . conclusion Judge Seaman denied the motion to refer the receiver's report of the sale to a master, and overruled the objections. He agreed to a modification of the decree of sale by the insertion of the following clause: "This decree dcest not and shall not be construed as passing finally upon the question as to how many shares of stock of said defendant are owned or controlled by said reorganization committee, and shall in no respect constitute an adjudication thereof." Th!s clause will compel the new company to pay such sums of money at $28 a share to stockholders who prove their shares not to be owned or controlled by the reorganization committee. Many present holders of stock purchased on the market maintain that they are not held to any agreement made by the owners of the same stock in the past with the reorganization committee. Lltlarutlon nt Xevr York. NEW YORK. Aug. 27. An application was made to Judge Beekman, in Supreme Court chambers, to-day, by Samuel Untermeyer and Louis Marshall, on behalf of Frederick Wanness and George M. Pynchon, stockholders of the Distilling and Cattle-feeding Company, who opposed the reorganization scheme, for a temporary injunction to compel the reorganization committee to return to the plaintiffs the 13.000 shares of stock held by them, and also to prevent the committee from using this stock for the purposes of the committee. The Judge took the petition under advisement. Eight Counterfeiters Arrested. PERRY. O T..

REMAINS OF THE MISSING LAD FOU.TD IX AN 1I1VINGTON HOUSE. Detective Geyer at Last Dlscorers the Place Where Holmes Murdered Little Horrnrd Pletiel.' CONTENTS OF A CHIMNEY PARTS OF A SKULL, . TEETH, BONES AXD BUTTONS FOUND HIDDEN. Stove; In Which the Fiend Darned the Doy and s Trunk Among tne Discoveries of Yesterday. HOLMES KNOWN AS COOK HE RENTED THE HOUSE OCTOBER 5 AND REMAINED SEVERAL DAYS. Alvet Mooremans Conversation vrltli the Murderer Holmes Farnltare . Still Remains In the Suburb. Yesterday morning in the quiet suburb of Irvlngton, five miles east of the city, was found a house which beyond doufrt was occupied by H. II. Holmes ' during last October. During the afternoon charred pieces of human bones were found In the chimney, which has a foundation In the cellar. There Is no doubt in the mind of detective Frank Geyer, of Philadelphia, who has worked so untiringly upon the Holmes case for eight months and more, that he hes found all that remains of Howard Pletzel and at the same time obtained good evidence that the boy was murdered and disposed of In this city. The name which Holmes gave In renting the house was A. E. Cook, the same name he used in Cincinnati. The exact time of the murder was all that remained to be learned last nignt. iivet Mooreman. a student at Butler University, talked with the man who rented the cottage and he positively identifies the photograph of Holmes as that of the mysterious individual who .came to the place one day in October with a boy, remaining there but one or two days. Holmes rented the house Oct. 5. Among the ashes found in the chimney were sections of a human skull, teeth, several vertebrae, portions of ribs, buttons and other things Indicating foul play, which give traces of the only victim of the human butcher unaccounted for. Inspector Gary, of the Fidelity Insurance Company, has been with detective Geyer upon his last visit to this city. They have been . assisted by detective Richards, of the city detective force, and the three have searched from one end of the city to the other in an effort to learn something of Holmes and his actions in this city. Real estate offices have been visited and the owners of real estate questioned, but no tangible clews were obtained until yesterday morning. Many were the reports brought to Mr. Geyer and he faithfully investigated each, Inquiries have been made of surburban real estate men, but none reported a house as having been rented and occupied for a few days during last October. Mr. Geyer, after his investigations in other cities and the discovery of the evidences of Holmes's guilt, was convinced that Howard Pietzel was murdered and his remains buried in this city. Mr. Geyer knew that Holmes, with the three Pietzel children, was In this city last October. He knew that he presumably departed upon the 6th, but in fact was seen here as late as the 10th. It has been his endeavor to find how and where he spent the intervening time. The discovery at Toronto strengthened the conclusions drawn by Mr. Geyer. He traced Holmes from this city to Toronto and learned that the wily swindler charged with a dozen murders did not lose much time in getting there. It was learned that Holmes arrived there with two little girls, having first stopped with them at Detroit, where he prepared to murder them, going so far as to dig their graves. THE IRVINGTON CLEW. The investigation at the Toronto house unearthed the two mutilated bodies of the Pietzel girls, but no trace of the boy, Howard, was found, neither could it be proved that he had the boy with him either' there or at Detroit. Indianapolis was the last place where the boy was seen, so Mr. Geyer returned here a month ago, making the Spencer House his headquarters and letting It be known that he was searching for a house rented under suspicious circumstances last October. At times he was on the point of giving up and allowing the disappearance of the boy to remain a mystery with the explanation that Holmes had so well covered his tracks In murdering the boy that they could not be found. He persevered, however, and can now return to Philadelphia with evidence much the same in character as has been accumulated against Holmes in the management of the famous Chicago castle, where many persons met their death at his hands. The story and a half house at Irvlngton where the discoveries of yesterday were made stands some little distance from Union avenue, In the extreme eastern part of the suburb. Across the street is the Methodist church, and two hundred 3ards to the south are the Pennsylvania railroad tracks. There is no other house in the immediate neighborhood, for the cottage stands In a secluded place. To the west is a small grove of young catalpa trees. To the east there Is a large common. There are two road3 leading to the street-car line. It is such a place as Holmes' would seek for a crime, auggesting the neighborhoods in which he rented houses in Detroit and Toronto. Several persons in the suburb recall the strange actions of the man who rented the house last October, and to Eivet Moorman these actions were suggestive of those of Holmes. He was oa the ps!nt of notifying Mr. Geyer of what he knew some time ago, but the fear of notoriety deterred him. - There was
considerable talk, however, and report reached the ears of Mr. Geyer. Monday night the three men who have been most active In the case were talking together regarding what new step was the best one to take. Mr. Geyer asked Richards about Irvington, and the result was that a trip was made to the suburb yesterday morning. Inquiry was first made of Charles Brouse, a real estate dealer, who has an office near the railroad station of the suburb. Mr. Geyer asked questions, and Mr. Brouee recalled that some time last fall the Unionavenue property was rented to a stranger
who occupied it but a few days and then' departed, leaving behind some furniture. Mr. Geyer took a look at the house and Began to make further Inquiries regarding its ownership and occupants in- the last year. He learned that the house was built by Dr. T. L Thompson three years ago for a home. Last September the doctor moved out, and J the next month it was rented by a man f nswerlng the description of Holmes. In the spring of 1S93 tne family of Edward Brennan, who lived there .but two months, occupied the place. Since the Brennan family moved away the house has been vacant. Dr. Thompson sold the property to George W. Lancaster, living near Mapleton, who owned it at the time Holmes rented it. Mr. Lancaster has since sold the property to 11. R. Miles. SEARCHING THE CELLAR. Mr. Geyer lost little time in beginning a search of the premises for the body of Howard Pietzel. It was about 10 o'clock when the work was commenced. The cellar was first examined. One portion of It is cemented, as Dr. Thompson expected some time to add to the house, and this cellar he proposed to use as a laundry. There are six rooms to the house, counting one open room in ihe rear, which is used as a kitchen. Adjoining the cemented floor is a low cellar, which Mr. .Geyer at first thought might have furnished a grave for the lad. The ground was hard, however, and there was no evidence of a grave having ever been made there. There id a chimney, with a .foundation in the cellar, which runs through the dining room. This was hastily examined at the time, but Mr. ; Geyer thought it would be well to search for a buried body first, for he was Inclined to believe Holmes had disposed of the boy as he had the two girls. Mr. Geyer was more anxious to find a body than charred remains. Two hundred feet back of the house is a large stable, and . in one corner was a soft place. Mr. Geyer regarded this as suspicious, so he began to dig The search was kept up until late In the afternoon. The news of the search and the digging spread through the town, and so. large a crowd collected that the w,ork had to be stopped. Drs. Thompson and Barnhlll were present. For the benefit of Mr. Geyer and the reporters, Dr. Thompson told what he knew of Holmes and his stay at the house. Dr. Thompson said: "I moved out the latter part of last September. I built the house for a home, intending to add to it some time. I decided to move on Washington street, however, so sold this property to Mr. Lancaster. Some time in October, have no way of fixing the date, the house was rented to a stranger. He said he wanted the property for his sister, it being his intention to furnish it for her. He said he thought his sister would want to buy the property." "That was Holmes as sure' as I am living," interrupted Mr. Geyer.. "He sang the same song at Detroit and Toronto." "I saw the man but once," continued Dr. Thompson, "but he looked very much like the photograph which Mr. Geyer has. He was in the house but a few days, how long I cannot say. I had a. base burner all ready fixed up in the sittli room, which I offered to sell to him. He said he thought his sister might want it, and said he would write to her advising that she sell her stove and buy the one I offered. He did not buy the stove. After he departed, we found a large stove which he had left, besides a bedstead and wash-stand and the portions of a trunk. His actions struck me as strange, but it never occurred to me that perhaps the man was Holmes. I have boarding with me a young man named Mooreman, who was here last fall and held a conversation with the man. He has been away all summer, but returned three weeks ago, and one of the first things he said upon returning was to ask me if the thought bad ever occurred to me that the man who occupied the house was Holmes, the murderer. I laughed and told him to go tell the police and perhaps he could get , his picture in the papers. He did not tell anything at the time, but I guess his suspicions have leaked out." OWN STYLE OF STOVE. The stove referred to by Dr. Thompson was found in the -stable. It was brought there by Holmes. Dr. Thompson alone occupied the house before Holmes came and he Knows the stove does not belong to him, while Mr. Brennan says he never owned such a stove. It is a mammoth affair suitable for the burning of a body. There is a large lid to it which permits the entrance of large articles. The stove was found standing in the dining room, which is separated from the front by one room. After Holmes's departure under the side porch was found the portions of a trunk referred to, which are thought to be parts of a trunk belonging to the Pietzel children. The Ud and bottom are preserved, but the middle portion containing the lock has been destroyed. On the bottom there is a calico cleat which may serve as a means of identifying the property as that of Mrs. Pletzel. The cleat is so placed as to look as If it might be the handiwork of a woman. The bedroom set left in the house was still there when the family of Mr. Brennan moved in. Mr.. Brennan says the trunk was also there and Dr. Thompson says It was not left there by him. The furniture is very ordinary, such as might be purchased at any second-hand store. The most interesting story of Holmes and his doings in this city Is told by Elvet Mooreman, a Butler student. He is a young man twenty years of age, and while attending college he boards with Dr. Thompson, doing chores as a means of earning something. At the time the house was occupied. Dr. Thompson was keeping a cow in the stable. Young Mooreman attended to the milking and he saw more of Holmes than anyone else. He says: "I am positive that the photograph of Holmes is that of the man who came here last October with a little boy about ten years of age. He moved some furniture in and that night he was out in the back yard when I came to milk. The boy was playing with a little toy fire engine which I afterwards found and still have. He was a good looking boy, much better looking than the pictures published him. The man did not bring very much furniture here, but said the house was for his sister and she would not be here for some time. He came to the stablo where I was at work and a conversation was held. That day we purchased two sacks of bran and I noticed that one was missing. I related the circumstance to the man and he said the driver of the wagon which had brought the furniture had probably taken one of the sacks away. He did not tell me the name of the driver. We talked for some little time and he was very pleasant in his manner. I asked him something about having gas connections made. He said he didn't want ga3 as his sister's children were unused to it, and he did not think gas heat good for children. That was the night he came to the house. Later I saw him going with the boy toward the drug store and after that day I never saw either. I observed in a few days that no one was about the house, but I supposed the man had gone and the sister was to come. Weeks passed and no sister came. That ihe furniture was left seemed very strange to me and when the Holmes case became a popular topic of talk I became suspicious, but I could hardly bring myself up to believe that the man with whom I had talked was Holmes and the little boy I saw playing in the yard was murdered." George P. Brown, interested in Irvlngton real estate, also met Holmes. Mr. Brown iays: "Mr. Lancaster left the renting of the house with me. leaving one key. He also (Continued on Second Pnffe.)

TWO CONVENTIONS LIKELY QUAY'S 3IEN ENGAGE ANOTHER HALL. FOR THEIR MEETING. Harrlsburir In n Ferment of Excitement, vrlth Adherents of the Two Factions Parading the Streets. IIARRISBURG, Pa.. Aug. 27. The anxiously anticipated caucuses of the two factions of the State Republican party were held to-night, and the results thereof make it appear certain hat Senator Quay has a majority of the legally elected delegates and has, therefore, won his fight. The Quay caucus determined to hold a' separate convention, and unless there Is a compromise before morning. two conventions will meet to-morrow. The day has been one of Intense excitement. From early mqrnlng delegates and visitors poured into the city, and to-night the streets and public places are Jammed with adherents of the two factions, shouting at the tops of their voices the names of their favorites. The prospect of an exciting battle has attracted to Harrisburg many of the roughest element from the larger cities, and trouble is looked for, although up to midnight there has been nothing more serious than an occasional fist fight. At this hour the Quayites are parading, with bands playing, and their exuberance Is so Infectious that many of the anti-Quay shouters are Joining their ranks. Aside from the announcement that Quay has a majority of the delegates, and that there will probably .be two conventions, the news feature of the day was the capture of the opera house, where the convention was to be held by the anti-Quay people. A dramatic company was holding forth at the opera house, and there was to have been a matinee this afternoon and a performance to-night. Chairman Gllkeso is said to have received Information that the Quay people had planned to fill the house at the afternoon performance, with 'heelers," who would refuse to leave at the end of the performance, and remain all night, thus gaining possession of the house. To clrcumven this move. Chairman Gilkeson bought off the theatrical company, and, securing the keys from the lessee, placed in the house about one hundred ex-pollcemen, special officers and other determined men, who arrived fom Pittsburg to-day under charge of Supeintendent of Police O'Mara, of that city. Their meals were sent in to them and they will remain In the house all night. Senator Quay's caucus to-night contained 152 delegates, whose seats are uncontested, or seven more than the number necessary to a choice.' Tho anti-Quay people got together first, bgt their session was a secret and short one, lasting about ten minutes." There was no roil call. It is understood that Dr. R. Bruce Burns, of Philadelphia, presided. Governor Hastings offered a resolution asking that a committee of five be appointed to draft the business of the caucus into shape and to "arrange any other, business necessary," which was adopted. The committee appointed under this resolution was composed of Graham of Philadelphia, R. M. Yardley, William Flinn and Emerson Colllne. The caucus then adjourned until 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. THE QUAY CAUCUS. The caucus of the Quay delegates met in the Quay headquarters at 9:35 o'clock and the reporters for the newspapers were admitted. On motion of Walter Lyon, of Pittsburg, Senator Pender, of Philadelphia, was made chairman. In taking the chair the latter made a short speech, in the course of which he said: " "The people are against the 'combine and resent the treatment of Senator Quay. We have won our credentials honestly and will elect to-morrow the man who is the friend of every Republican In Pennsylvania and who stands closer to the people than any other American citizen. No other man could have won against the combined power of patronage and money that we have contended against. Senator Quay's sagacity and knowledge of men has been vindicated, and he will be elected to-morrow by an overwhelming majority." (Cheers.) Senator Arthur Kennedy, of Allegheny, was chosen secretary. At this Juncture, Senator Quay was escorted to the hall, and a scene of the wildest enthusiasm ensued. In a speech, he said: "I understand that ISO delegates are here. If this is so, the great issue which has convulsed the Republicans of Pennsylvania for the past two mqnth3 is settled. The battle was fought in the Interest of good government generally and the purity of Republican politics. You fought under unfavorab.'e circumstances. The next war you wage will not be with your opponents of to-day, and the State will go overwhelmingly In your behalf." The roll of delegates was then called and two. whose seats were uncontested, answered to their names. The five contestants from Philadelphia, and -one from Wyominj county were called and their votes recorded. When the name of Henry R. Shultz, of Ph.lade!phia, was called. United States District Attorney Ingham, of Philadelphia, stated that he had a telegram from Mr. Shultz saying that he had mlsjei the train, but if in Harrisburg, he would be with Quay. Mr. Shultz was, therefore, added to the roll and Chairman Penrose announced a total of 153 delegates for Quay, six of w iiom were contestants, leaving 153, or eight more than the 143 necessary to elect. The list is as follows: Allegheny county Lyon, Torrence, Kennedy. Armstrong Barr, Jackson. Beaver Moulds, May, Corbus. Bedford Zeth. Berks Pawling, Kenlngs, Kauffman, Ehret. Fryberger. Blair Raymond.

Senator Thomas, cf Philadelphia, offered a resolution, Stating that the chairman cf the State committee, having failed to designate in his call for the convention the place for holding the meeting, a committee be appointed to select a suitable hall and' that tickets of admission thereto be Issued by the Quay members of the State committee. This resolution was adopted after Walter Lyon had made a speech In whlrti he said it was rumored on the streets that it Is the purpose of Chairman Gilkeson to attempt to hold the convention in the opera bouse here, which is now in the possession of a desperate set of men. "Delegates favorable 'to Quay," he said, "take their lives in their hands when they go to that house to-morrow. Riot and bloodshed may result. The strong should always be merciful to the weak. They should not forget what is due to a misled minority. It is proper to hold the convention where its business can be transacted peaceably and in order." Senator Thomas's resolution was adopted and 8. II. Miller, W. H. Andrews, Alexander Crow, T. V. Cooper and Walter Lyon were named on the committee. In declaring the meeting adjourned at 10:15 o'clock Chairman Penrose cautioned the delegates to accept tickets only from the Quay people and to be prompt and faithful in their attendance at the convention to-morrow. To-morrow's convention Is to select candidates for State Treasurer and Superior Judges. B. J. Haywood, of Mercer county, will probably be chosen for State Treasurer, but in the light of the events of to-nlght. it is possible that the six Judges who were appointed by Governor Hastings and who it was thought would be unopposed for the nomination will find themselves cast aside by the Quay people, and new men named for their places. Among dark horses
named are Judges wiineim, or ocnuyiKiu; Davenport, of Erie; Stewart, of Franklin; Crumlfne. of Washington, and Schaefer. of
Twm ware.
The State committee met again to-night at 11:30 o'clock and received from the Quay caucus the request for a separate convention to-morrow. The request was referred to a subcommittee, who, it is understood, will endeavor to arrive at an amicable agreement with the anti-Quay leaders, whereby only one convention may be held. It is also understood that the Quay people . have engaged the hall over the Chestnut-street market house, which seats five hundred persons, and will hold their convention there if the effort to arrive atan amicaible agreement with the anti-Quay people fails. Am A The anti-Quay leaders are claiming that there were 153 delegates at their caucus to-night, although there was no roll call, and that the Quay people worked the old trick of answering to the names of delegates who were not present. The antiQuayites say their forces remain unshaken and that they will have about 1G0 delegates in their convention to-morrow. Battle Son: of the Quayites. HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 27. The Quay people have two songs. They are being sung on the streejs, and the combine's people can hardly keep their temper. The one is entitled "Things Are different Now," and runs: Come, give us a rousing old song, my boys, A song of political strife Of the treacherous men who went back on the man Who gave them political life. And sing us a rattling chorus, too, As strong as the law will allow. About the whole crowd that is yelling eo loud - That "things are different now." Chorus: Then thunder it out, boys, hearty and strong. O'er the State from end to end; And do it up fine for the Hog Combine, And the fellows who knife a friend.

Then let it out lively and loud, my boys, And keep it up early and late; Remember the man who has stood in the van For the good of this good old State; Who never yet split up his party, boys, And never was false to a vow Your comrade in blue has ever been true. And he is no "different now." Chorus: Yes, sing us the song in a thundering key. This song of political strife.

OPENING OF THE CONCLAVE ADDRESSES OF "WELCOME BY GOV, GREE.MIALGE AND MAYOR CURTIS. Response by Grand Master McCurdy in Behalf of the Knlchts TemplarsReport of the Grand Recorder. BOSTON, Aug. 27. AH Boston is to-night discussing the greatest gala day the city has ever seen. For mire than five hours the principal avenues were occupied by plumed Knights Templars, and hundreds of thousands of Fpectators obligingly crowded on the sidewalks to give then room, but now the populace is thronging in triumph over the pavements which, this afternoon, echoed the marching feet, and the sight is almost as wonderful as the pageant was. It was nearly 6 o'clock when the last coramandery broke ranks at the foot of Washington street and traffic was entirely resumed. All the afternoon the street car system was almost entirely euiende3, even In the streets through which the parade did not pass. When the cars did start up there was the greatest rush ever seea in Boston. The day was Intensely hot. Many womea and children were overcome in the dense . throngs and scores of Knights who had started in the four and a half mile tramp dropped out cf the line. The ambulances frcm the police stations and the emergency hospitals were busy all the time. The most serious accident reported was to Miss Lillian Dudley, sixteen years old, who was crushed in the crowd at the corner of Hanover and Washington streets. Her spine was seriously Injured. There were none too many grand stands to accommodate the Immense throng that clamored for seats, although almost every foot cf available fpace along the line of march had been covered with platforms and seats: Every inch of epace was occupied and there was hardly breatl.lng rooji'. Both incoming and outgoing local trains) were practically deserted during the afternoon, but as soon as the parade vas over there was a stampede for the depots' and the early evening trains were crowded to suffocation. This great exodus, U vwever, seemed to make no appreciable' difference in the size of the crowd, which ttill continued to fill every thoroughfare. The Knights presented a splendid appearance on parade. As they pawed the reviewing stands before Grand Commander McCurdy and Governor Grcenhalfe, and later before Chief Marshal Lawrence and Mayor Curtis, many of them executed Intricate military evolutions, vViIch won the admiration of the thousands who witnessed them. These tactics were also introduced by the more proficient commanderles at intervals along the line of march. Great admiration was expressed at the appearance of the California and otner Western delegations. Nearly every one seemed to enjoy himself, from the grinning urchin who had climbed an electric light pole, to the proud bearer of the handsomest bcauseant in tne' line. The evening was given up by the Knights' to general merry-making. There were banquets and receptions galore and at every headquarters open houses were ia order. The conclave was officially opened by exercises in Masonic Templo immediately after the cloe of the parade. To-morrow the serious business of the conclave will be in Order. THE START OF THE PARADE. The police appointments to-lay were well nigh perfect. Shortly before the parade started platoons of officers cleared every street through which the Sir Knights were to pasj and roped them off, and until the last division had passed no traffic of any kind was allowed on those thoroughfares. The lines of the paraie were formed In thirteen divisions In a column of double sections. At 9 o'clock the commanderies of the first division began to gather on the south side of Commonwealth avenue, near Berkley street an! about the ramo hour the other divisions began to take up their positions In the avenues of the Back Bay district. There was the usual delay consequent to the formation of great processions, Lut all was in readiness shortly after 10 o'clock, and by 10:Si) the long line was In motion, the signal for the rtart being greeted by the cheers and salutes of ten mousanl people gathered near the start. As the great body jot Knights moved down Commmonwealth avenue the spectacle was an inspiring one. The mufcic of one hundred bands and the applause of thousands of people filled the air; gaily beieckeJ horses pranced at the heal of each division, while the contrast of the dignified Mack cloth of the uniform?, tne waving oT the rich plumes, and the silver and gold emblems, which are conspicuous in Templar uniforms, combined to present a tcene that was pleaflng and Impressive. The first division of the pagacnt. precede! by platoon of Boston's eturdy policemen, was very Imposing. It was led by Right Eminent Sir Samuel C. Lawrence, grand commanler of the Grand Commanlcry of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as chlf marshal, with Rliht Imminent iir Charles C.
