THAT INSURANCE SPINDLE.
Mudget's Confession Is Not Believed, ana
 Grave Suspicious Arc Held.

Is eu,
 Grave Suspicious Arc Held.
 PHILADEIrHIA, Nov. la.-The prevail. ing impression in this city regarding the gigantic insurance swindle which result cd in the arrest in Boston Saturday oi Herman Mudget. otherwise known as H, H. Holmes and a variety of other aliases, is that the corpse found in the Caldownill street house and upon which the Sl, OOO was obtained was not a bogus corpse, but was in reality that or the beneficiary, B. F. Pitzell, and that he was murdered by Holmes. This Is tho belief not only of tho detectives of the Fidelity Insurance company, which was SO cleverly victim izcd. but of Superintendent Of Police Lin len and the coroner. They think that the confession made by Holmes detailing the conspiracy was a ruse to avert the theory of his having made away with the man who for eight years was his partnar in crime
 Mrs Pitzell. wife of the victim or con spirator, will be arrested today. but Levi G. Fouse, the president of the company, thought 1t prudent to keep secret until then her present whereabouts.
 \ thorough investigation has been made in this city and has raised strong doubt as to the truth of Holmes story of the manner in which they got the body. Not the slightest clew to show that 1t was brought here in n trunk about tho time of the discovery has been found.
 Mir. Fouse says that ex-Assistant Dis trict Attorney Marshall F. Donald of St. Louis will not bo arrested. It was he who in lSS6 prosecuted the famous Maxwell Preller murder case, and much surprise has been expressed that n man of his prominence should be even indirectly con nected with such an affair as this.

FATHER OUCEY REBUKED.
Archbishop CorriGan Forhids His Further Attrn.Iantc at the I.cAnM Investigation.

Archbishop CorriGan forbids His Further
 Attendance at the I.cN"w investigation.
 NEW YORK, Nov. l9.-A morning pa per says today: When next the Lexow committee assemblies to resume its inves- tigntlon into the peculiar methods of the police department. it Is possible and in decd probable that one of the best known and sssiduous observers of Its proceedings will be missed from his accustomed place in the courtroom.
 The person who is likely to be missed Is tho Rev. Thomas J. Ducey, rector of St Leo's.
 From the first meeting of tho Loxow committee to Its last adjournment Fa- thor Ducey has watched every passing phase of tho inquiry He has not hesitat- cd to proclaim the interest which he took in each successive revelation and exposure of official rottenness
 In this he shared a rather widespread sentiment, nor had 1t been supposed that in affirming by his presence in the court room his m xioty to sec New York redeem- cd from It's oppressors the reverend doc tor was committing any sin against his cloth or against decency.
 This, however. would not seem to be the view which his superior. Arch bishop Corrigan. takes of tho matter. From an ecclesiastical source 1t was learned last night that Father Ducey has been formal ly forbidden by Archbishop Corrigan to appear at the Lexow committee meetings.
 What answer was returned to this In junction by Father Duccy is not known.

 So far there has been no official con lrmatiOn of this news. but if 1t is true 1t is time the powers share in the reSponsi- bility for their failure tn enforce article 6l of the Berlin treaty, which imposes on them the duty of seeing that the porte takes measures to protect Armenians The lattor declare that they hope for moth ing from Europe hut that they still have confidence in Great Britain. Numerous appeals have been made by the Armenians to the British foreign office.

British consul at Van, Of melting the Armenians at Sassun and elsewhere to revolt. The charge grew out of the investigation made by Mir. Hall ward into the Armenian massacres and his report to the British ambassador The governor of Bitlis, who is seriously in volved in the outrage. made the charge, 1t is said, for the purpose of rcSengo.
 Tho sultan has decided to send a com mission composed of three members of his military household and one civilian to Sassun for the purpose of making an i'm partial Inquiry into tho outrages on Ar. menians.
