A MASS OFIIAN BAH,
Clotted With Blood, Found in
the Holmes Basement,
WHAT THE POLICE THINK
ALonjf and Very Important Letter Prom
Holmes to Pat Quinlan Was Also Pound
By the Searching Party In the Charnel
House.
Chicago, July 27.—A mass of
human hair, clotted with Wood, was
found today in the search of insur-
ance swindler Holmes’ basement.
More bones were also found. The
thair was apparently that of a wo-
,man. It was brown and about 12
inches long. The police also found
a letter from Holmes to Pat Quin-
lan, to which much importance is
attached. The letter is as follows:
“Dear Pat—Among their other fool
theories they think you took the
Pietzel boy to Michigan, and either
left him there or put him out of the
way. I always told them I never
asked you to do anything illegal
but they are bull headed.
Oct. 12. I saw you at the fac-
tory, I think. Can’t you show
where you were all the rest of the
mouth? If they question you or
threaten to arrest you tell them
anything there is to tell about this
or any other matters. They may
want to know if you were in Cin-
cinuatti or Indianapolis about Oct.
12th. It is well for you to be able
to know where you were working.
I am awful sorry, Pat, for I always
tried to make things easy for you.
When Minnie killed her sister
needed you the worst way, but
would not drag you into it. I
detectives would go to New York
as I want them to they would find
where Minnie took them by boat.
I have done no killing, Pat.
One by one they are finding
them alive. Minnie W. will noi:
come here as long as there is
danger of her being arrested. A
Boston man knows where she is
and her guardian (Mossie H. Watt)
will at a proper and safe time go to
her. Let your wife write me any
thing you wish, not oftencr_than
two times a month, directing to H.
H. Holmes, county prison, Tenth
and Reed streets, Philadelphia,
cannot write many letters to you.
Am doing all I can lor all. Ex
pect to hear shortly from you.
Give my love to your wife and
Cora. Tell her I have my picture
in my room with me and thank her
for it. Tell her I have a tame
mouse and spider to keep me com-
pany. My food is the worst part
here. I only eat once a day
Shall be out of it sooner than you
expect. They kept Mrs. P. shut up
here six months and made a fool of
her. Write soon and free, ask any
questions you want to, with
regards to all.” (Signed) H. H.
H. (pencil mem.) If you see Tfedt
tell him I am much obliged to
him.
The bones found today proved to
be soup bones from a butcher shop.
The police believe that the chain
of evideuce against Quinlan is now
complete, and Holmes’ ex-janitor
will de tried for murder here.
“I won’t allow Quinlan to be-
come state’s witness to escape the
rope,” said Chief of Police Bade-
noch; “I have enough evidence to
indict both Holmes and Quinlan.”
RESCUE OF CREW OF STEAMER
CLEVELAND.
Gravesend, Eng., July 27.—
British steamer Baltimore from
Hamburg arrived here today and

THE WORST YET.
Lamed, Kansas, July 27.—A
flood came down last night six in-
ches higher than ever known be-

half a mile of Missouri Pacific track

of here.
EPIDEMIC OF DIPTHHRIA.
Croton, la. July 27.—There is an
alarming diptheria epidemic here.
All the children in some families
have died.
A BIG LIE.
Washington, July 27 —The In-
dian bureau has received a dispatch
irom Agent Teter saying there is
absolutely no truth in the report ot
the massacre of Jackson Hole set-
tlers.
Denver, July 27.—A special re
ceived by the News at two a. m.
from Market Lake, Idaho, says
Courier Seymour, who has just ar-
rived from the head of Teton Basin,
reports that the Jackson’s Hole men
did not go into Hoback canon as
they bad planned and had told Gen-
eral Stitzer they would do on Tues-
day. they however, sent twenty
scouts out to locate the Indians.
One scout reports a saddle horse
stolen by Indians and that he was
ambuscaded for two days in the
timber. If reinforcements from Lan-
der got into Hole Wednesday, they
intended going down into Hoback
Basin at once. The scout report
that Indians camped on the ground
where the Indians were killed on
14th instant. Seymour reports that
Indian signal fires were seen on
Conant creek last night, undoubted
ly lit by the Lehmis. Thirty-five
men left Hole Thursday afternoon to
meet the posse comming over from
Green River to help them by way
of Gros Ventre Pass. The Lehmis
Indians ran out some miners Thurs-
day afternoon from head of North
Teton river into the Basiu. It seems
that the Hole people are contented
to remain in fortifications in Jackson
Hole now that they know the
cavalry are coming. The Teton
Basin people have made fortifica-
tions at the mouth of Trail Creek
canou; aud they are content to stay
there. Sheriff Warner of Fremont
county, Idaho, calls on the state for
arms and ammunition. Courier H
B. rode 115 miles since yesterday
noon.
Denver, July 27.—No news has
received today from the scene of the
Indian trouble in northwestern
Wyoming. The report from Poca-
tello that all settlers in Jackson’s
Hole have been slaughtered is dis-
credited.
A MARQUIS ENGAGED.
Washington, July 27.—The en
gagement of Marquis Pierre De
Chambrun and Miss Margaret
Michols, the daughter of Hon. and
Mrs. Belamy Storer of Ohio, is an-
nounced.
THE CORBETT DIVORCE SUIT.
New York, July 27.—James J.
Corbett’s attorney has notified
Referee Jacobs that his client will
make no defense to the suit of Mrs.
Ollie Corbett for divorce.
How many of the peoplewho ues
the “pump handle” handshake
know its origin? A westerner hit
the idea of its discomfort when he
said it was “for all the world like
shakin’ paws over a barbed wire
fence.” The truth of the matter
is that it was originated by the
prince of Wales when “that august
personage” was suffering from a
boil under the arm, necessitating
the awkward movement. Doesn’t
Shakespeare say. “new customs,
though they be ever so ridiculous,
nay, let them be unmanly, yet are
followed.”—Pathfinder.
MAKIA BARBERI’S SENTENCE.
Perhaps it would be too much to say
that the sentencing of the Kew York
murderess, Maria Barberi, to death in
the electric chuir makes her a better
“risk” for the life insurances companies,
but it is a fact that very few women are
ever really executed, however many of
them may be sentenced.—Providence
Journal. _
So rare is such extreme crime among
the gentler sex that the contemplation
of Maria Barberi’s fate brings forward
forcibly, even to tlio unsentimental, the
shocking phase of capital punishment in
any form. There is an added touch of
pity in her case, for, horrible as was her
crime of slashing her betrayer’s throat,
the trial clearly revealed her painful
lack of any real conception of the enor-
mity of the deed. In view of her piti-
able betrayal and moral blindness the
law should have spared her from the
chair of death.— Philadelphia Record.
Speaking of Maria Barberi, a corre-
spondent of the New York World asks,
“But will the state kill apassiouato aud
wronged woman because she murdered
the man who wronged her?” Would
that we could answer, “No!” But the
Empire State, with all of its grandeur
and achievement, is only civilized in
streaks. Its escutcheon is still staiped
with the blood of the slaughtered vic-
tims of its cruelty. So even a wronged
Woman may be put to death by its mer-
ciless legil machinery.—Troy Press.
OFFICIAL CALL-
tot (be Fourth National Irrigation 0«ag-
rata to bo Hold nt Albuquerque, New
Mexleo, September 10,17, 18, and 18,
18004
By the authority of the National Ex-
ecutive Committee, the Fourth Nat-
ional Irrigation Congress Is hsrsby
called to meet In the city of Alboqaer-
que, New Mexico, for the four days be-
ginning September 16,1895.
The present year la proving to be tbe
most remarkable in the history of
American irrigation. It has seen a
wonderful awakening of popular In-
terest In tbe cause throughout the east,
resulting in the organization of tbe
most potential forces for the purpose
of oo operating with the western peo
pie; the enactment of well considered
Irrigation laws in eight states, and the
oreatlon of administrative systems In
five of them; the recognition of the
pressing nature of tbe problem by tbe
departments of interior and agriouit
are, under whose direction a national
board of irrigation bes been formed
from the officials in various depart-
ments of the government.
These splendid evidences of the tri-
umphant progress of the irrigation
cause demand a large, representative
and effective session of the irrigation
congress la 1895. A farther reason for
saob a gathering is the fact that tbe
presidential campaign of 1896 will be
inaugurated previous to the assem-
bling of this body and that it is thus
necessary to formulate, at Albuquer-
que, the demands which the friends of
irrigation will desire to make upon tbs
great political parties of the nation.
In view of the nature of the oppor-
tunity a programme of extraordinary
variety, interest and Importance will
be arranged, and it la anticipated that
this session of the Congress will be
more widely useful than the prevloui
conventions at Salt Lake in 1891, at
Los Angeles in 1893 and at Denver In
1894. Tbe friends of Irrigation through
out the United States—for today the
movement Is national in its scope and
interest—should nnite in an effort to
obtain a worthy result at Albuquer-
que,
