Miss Cigrand’s Father.
Anderson, Ind., July 30.—Mr. Ci-
grand, the father of Emma Cigrand,
a supposed victim of Holmes, took the
midnight Pennsylvania express last
night for Chicago, accompanied by his
daughter, Phlissie, with the hope of
being able to aid in ferreting out the
murderer of Emma Cigrand.

POLITICAL NEWS.
Platt for Morton.
New York, N. Y., July 30.—The
Worid today says: In the corridor of
the Oriental hotel last night, ex-Sena-
tor Thomas C. Platt said ' to a re-
porter. “I do not know that Governor
Morton is a candidate for the presi-
dency. If he is he has not confided in
me, and I have no other means of net-
ting trustworthy information on the
subject. ”
“If you should learn that he is
candidate would you help him all you
could?”
“Oh, yes, I should do what I could to
advance his cause.”
“Do you think the delegation from
this state would indorse him?”
’’I don’t see how they could do any-
thing else than support Governor Mor-
ton. In fact, I have no doubt whatever
that the delegation will be heartily in
his favor if he is a candidate.”
is in prison in Little Rock, Ark., im-
plicating both in illegal transactions.
Holmes’ attorney in this city gives
out a statement purporting to come
from the arch conspirator and relating
to the statements made by Charles
Chappell of Chicago to the effect
that he had articulated four skele-
tons for Holmes. In the first
place Holmes declared that any medi-
cal man who failed to make a living by
the practice of his profession adds to
it in many other ways by calling into
play his scientific knowledge. Accept-
ing this idea himself, he said, he re-
solved to procure a number of skele-
tons, and when he found them expen-
sive he concluded that to deal in the
ghastly articles would be a lucrative
business. Thereupon he procured a
number of corpses and had them
scraped and articulated, but the sup-
position that he had murdered people
to obtain them he scouted as nonsense.
“I got them in a legitimate manner,”
he continued, “and I am prepared to
prove it when the time comes. There
is not a soul living in Chicago who can
prove that I had anything to do with
the disappearance of this aggregation
of people of whose murder I am ac-
cused.”

A Play Based on the Murders Stopped
by Officers.
San Francisco, Cali., July 30.—The
production of the play entitled “The
Crime of a Century,” which was placed
on the stage of the Alcazar theatre last
night, was stopped in the middle of the
third act.
Sheriff Whcland and his deputies
arrested the performers, 11 in all. The
manager of the theater was also placed
under arrest. A great crowd attended
the performance, which was hissed at
intervals. The whole company spent
the night in jail.
The Court’s Action.
San Francisco, Cali., July 30.—The
principal feature of the Durrant case
so far has been the defendant’s appli-
cation for a judicial, order to prevent
the presentation of a play called “The
Crime of a Century, ” based upon the
Emanuel church murders. The pris-
oner alleges that the performance
would influence popular feeling against
him. The.prosecution joined with the
defendant in the request for a restrain-
ing order, which was granted.
Judge John I). Caton.
Chicago, Ill., July 30.—Judge John
D. Caton, ex-justice of the Illinois su-
preme court, died today, aged 84. He

nois. Fie came to Chicago in the 30s
and established the first telegraph line

INVALID DIVORCES.
Decrees Annulled by the Indian
Territory Supreme Court.
Guthrie, O. T., July 30.—Among the
many important cases decided at the
present sitting of the territorial su-
preme court is the celebrated Irwin
divorce case from Stillwater, in which
the court, Chief Justice Daley writings
the opinion, reaffirmed its former
opinion denying that probate justices
had jurisdiction in divorce cases after
August, 1893, and declaring all divorces
so granted null and void and anv sub-
sequent marriage of the parties
bigamous.
Ever since the original decision of
the supreme court excitement has pre-
vailed among those persons who se-
cured probate court decrees. The ma-
jority of these persons come from the
east and they made haste to renew di-
voice proceedings in the district court,
where as much secrecy is observed as
in the probate tribunals; but many
prominent divorcees, after receiving
matrimonial freedom from the probate
judges fail to return, hence those who
married again are subject to arrest at
any time on the charge of bigamy.
The last legislature passed a bill
legalizing all probate court divorces,
but congress failed to ratify the meas-
ure and it is, consequently, invalid.
Among the most prominent people who
are affected by the latest ruling of the
supreme court are Chester O. Depew,
now of New Hampshire, a brother of
Chauncey Depew, who came here with
Mrs. Hettie Farnsworth and both se-
emed decrees and two weeks later were
married in Kansas and returned east;
Mrs. Anna C. Whitney of New York;
A. M. Strong, a lawyer and club man
ot Randolph; Mrs. Lucy Beale, a
prominent society lady of Bellaire, O.
Among the prominent people now in
the territory for divorce purposes are
C. F. Broces, a noted law book writer
of New York city; J. C. Cole of Wind-
a Pittsburg

but at the lowest market prices. You’ll save
money and be better sutisfied if you order
your fruit from us, whether for table use or
canning purposes. Our great summer spe-
cialty is our fruit department. At this time
of the year fruit ought to make up half of

that you can’t have too much of.
Chicago, Ill., July .30.—Peter Cig-
rand, father of Emiline Cigrand,
who is said to have been mur-
dered by H. H. Holmes, arrived in
Chicago with Philomena Cigrand, sis-
ter of the missing girl. With Dr. B.
J. Cigrand, a relative, they went to
police headquarters, where a secret
conference was held with Chief Bade-
noch and Inspector Fitzpatrick.
Search for the acid vats in the
“castle” basement continued today. A
tank which was uncovered yesterday
was forced open, but nothing was
found but a few inches of petroleum in
the bottom of the vat.
In the course of further excavations
today the police unearthed parts of
two thigh bones, a piece of skull and
four smaller pieces of bone.
Other Murders Planned.
Chicago, Ill., July 30.—A special to
the Tribune from Indianapolis, Ind.,
says: Detective Geyer, who is here
searching for the house in which he
thinks Holmes murdered Howard Pite-
zel and disposed of the body, makes the
startling announcement that he has
discovered enough here to convince
him that the archmurderer had laid
his plans to murder his fifth wife,
Georgiana Howard, and her mother,
Mrs. Yoke, of Franklin, in this city'
as soon as he could get rid of the Pite-
zel family.
Detective Geyer obtained his clew
from a real estate agent, who had deal-
ings with Holmes. At that time Holmes
had been given authority by Georgiana
Howard to make a deal with other
heirs of her property at Franklin, and
had her mother’s consent. Owing to
some hitch, the deal was dropped.
Detective Geyer asserts that as soon
as Holmes had got the few thousand
dollars coming to his wife, he would
have disposed of both Georgiana and
her mother as he did of. the Pitezels.
Detective Geyer still holds to the be-
lief that Howard Pitezel was murdered
in this city, although his body might
have been disposed of in Chicago.
Thus far he has no clew to any house
in this city that Holmes rented. He
says that all trace of the boy ends in
Indianapolis.
Witnesses Multiplying-.
Chicag’o, Ill., July 30.—Three war-
rants for the arrest of H. H. Holmes
and Patrick Quinlan are now hanging
fire. Circumstantial evidence is con-
sidered as showing Quinlan to have
been as much guilty as Holmes. The
warrants in question will not be held
back longer than a day and when sworn
out will compel the bringing of Quin-
lan into court and his course before a
grand jury. An important witness
against Holmes and Quinlan was found
in a mysterious bricklayer who built a
firebox in the “castle,” which, he
thinks, might have been used as a re-
tort for dead bodies.
O. M. Knepper of Dickety street
came forward and told of Holmes.
“He was very familar with Mrs,. Con-
ner,” said Mr. Knepper. “He would
be gone from the building several
days at a time and then suddenly ap-
pear and make the statement that he
had been away and made $1000. To
the best of my recollection Mrs. Con-
ner disappeared the last of Decem-
ber, 1891, or early in January, 1892.”
A Mrs. .Reiley has definitely identi-
fied the picture of Miss Cigrand as the
girl who had a dress made with her in
November, 1892. Mrs. Baldwin of
Sixth street made the dresses in July
and August of that year.
In the tool chest’of Pat Quinlan in
his flat in the “castle” there have been
found bloody drawknives, knives and
chisels. These stained tools will all be
subjected to chemical tests to determine
whether the blood is from a human
being.
Tn the Skeleton Business.
Philadelphia, Pa., July 30.—It has
been learned that the authorities in
this city have found among Holmes’
papers several letters from Alien, who
beries have occurred lately and citi-
zens are greatly excited. It has just
developed that a posse with blood-
hounds traced a gang and captured
two, who are supposed to have been
lynched.
Bridgeport, Tenn.—Thomas Carroll
has gone to Cuba to sell the insurgents
a new explosive which he invented.

quiet thereS The Lempi agent tele-
graphs that only three of his Indians
are supposed to be a.t Jackson’s Hole,
and there is no indication that others
will join the uprising there.”
Army officials regard this informa-
tion as favorable to the early and
peaceful termination of the Jackson
Hole disturbance. The troops are due
to arrive to Jackson’s Hole this after-
noon.
Uprising of Pottowattomies.
Topeka, Kan., July 30.—Sheriff Nay-
lor of Jackson county has arrived in
Topeka to ask for state troops to put
down an uprising of Indians on the
Pottowattomie reservation. The sheriff
and posse accompanied the Indian
police yesterday to make an arrest and
all had to flee for their lives. The
sheriff says there are 50 armed red-
skins waiting to resist any attempt to
arrest any of their number.
The trouble arose over a section of
the reservation taken for a party of
white men claiming 1 have leased it
from the Indian agents.
Infantry at -Market Lake.
Market Lake, Idaho, July 30.—The
five companies of infantry that arrived
here last night have received orders
to go to the front at once and will leave
today for Jackson’s Hole. A band of
200 or 300 Indians were on the trail of
the troops when they struck camp and
hastened toward Jackson’s Hole.
Several Collisions.
Chicago, Ill., July 30.—A special
from Salt Lake, Utah, says: Informa-
tion is received to the effect that sev-
eral collisions between Indians and
whites have occurred, not, however, in
Jackson’s Hole, but nearer the Seton
country.
A FIEND’S CONFESSION,
Divers Tells the Details of the Outrage
Upon Mrs. Cain.
St. Louis, Mo., July 30.—Emmet
Divers, the colored man who was
brought here several days ago from
Hannibal, Mo., to escape lynching for
the outrage and murder of Mrs. J. W.
Cain, near Fulton, last Friday, has
confessed. He says he outraged the
woman and then cut her throat eight
times.
Divers went into the bloody details
of the crime without any emotion other
than to smile at times. He fears death
at the hands of the mob if taken back
to Fulton, and requests to be hanged
in the St. Louis jail.
No more fiendish crime of the kind
ever occurred in Missouri. The victim
was fine looking, 18 years old, the wife
of a prosperous you.Yg farmer living
near Fulton. They were married only
last May.
BUSINESS MATTERS,
Bank Closed.
West Superior, Wis., July 30.—The <
Keystone National bank, capital $200,- ■
000, was closed this morning by order
of the bank examiner.
Chicago, Ill., July30.—DanCreedon,
the Australian middleweight pugilist,
with the first knuckle of his left hand
broken and resting like a walnut on
his hand, arrived in Chicago from New
York last night. Creedon met with an
accident in the first round of his 25-
round contest with Billy Hennessey in
Boston, about five weeks ago.
In describing how the hand was
broken, or rather how the knuckle was
knocked out of its place, Dan said every
time he had led with his left, Hennes-
sey would dodge, causing Dan’s lead to
circle around his opponent’s head.
After getting away with this trick
about a half a dozen times, Creedon
concluded not to extend his hand as he
previously had. and in so doing struck
Hennessey on the side of the head and
broke the knuckle.
With his hand in its present condi-
tion he can never engage in another
fistic.encounter. He believes, though,
that if it is broken again and then re-
set it will be of use to him.
The Australian has had an offer of
$3000 to fight Frank Craig, the “Har-
lam Coffee Cooler” now sojourning in
England, before a new club now in
course of formation in New Jersey.
Creedon will remain here for the pres-
ent and if possible get his hand into
fighting shape again.
Shreveport Out.
Shreveport, by reason of a lack of
partronage, has dropped from the
Texas-Southern league, and the league
officials are now seriously discussing
the question of putting in a club at
some other city in the state, or decreas-
ing the league to six clubs.
The wires hate been hot ever since
the information of Shreveport’s with-
drawal was received and Waco and
Denison are anxious to take her place.
Secretary James Nolan has received a
letter from Waco stating that that city
is anxious to be represented in the
league and would take Shreveport’s
franchise and play out the balance of
the season.
Denison is also anxious to put a team
in that city and today Secretary Nolan
received a telegram from Manager
• Ward of Fort Worth asking that cer-
tain arrangements and inducements be
offered Denison in order to bring her
into the league and put her on an equal
footing with all of the clubs.
It is highly probable that either
Waco or Denison will take Shreve-
port’s place, but in the event this can-
not be arranged it seems to be the de-
sire of the league officials to drop
Houston, as it has been understood for
some time that Manager Hepworth of
that team would be glad to be relieved
from the responsibility of holding the
franchise for the remainder of the sea-
son.
It has been suggested that, now
Shreveport has disbanded, Galveston
can secure some of the players if she
wants to. Galveston is sorely in need
of a good twirler, and Keefe would fill
the bill nicely. Besides being an ex-
cellent pitcher and fielder, he handles
the stick like a veteran, and that is
what Galveston needs to win.
Bammert could be secured to play
second base, Myers on first, Cook in
left field and Weekbecker is one of the
best backstops in the league.
Within the next 24 hours something
definite is expected to be received con-
cerning the reorganization of the
league.
