Further Evidence That Pitzel, the Insur-
ance swindler, is AIive--Detectives
Think They Have Clue
Philadelphia, Novemb ber 2l.-President
Fouse. of The defrauded insurance COM
pany. said this afternoon: II think
murder was done, but I believe the VIC
tim was man other than Pitzel. Our
representative says Mr.. Ryan, with whom
PitzeI was seen, is in Chicago. He is a
business man, who knows Pitzel we'll,
having had business relations with him.
Our Chicago man subsequently, saw Ry-
an, and the latter declared his inability
to locate Pitzel. the two having parted
after leaving a saloon. The .PinkerGon
agency and our representative are now at
work upon a clue, and l would not be
surprised if Pitzel was found in few
days.
LAWYER Howe is expected to arrive
his evening, from St Louis, with At
torney McDoaald. to answer to charge
of conspiracy.
President Fouse states he expects to
recover portion at least of the 0,000
fraudulently secured from the associa-
tiou. eve procured an attachment in
St. Louis against Howe" he added, to
recover $220O Of 5Ghe money received" AS
Holmes maintains the three missing
Pitzel childrensare with their father, the
discovery of the supposed victim will
probably clear up the mystery regarding
the offspring.
President Fouse had an interview this
afternoon with Mrs. Pitzel. The iatter's
16-year-old daughter Media, was in the
cell, and the talk had not proceeded far
when the girl declared she believed her
father to be alive. The daughter told
of a conversation she had with her
father in Chicago, in August last, dur
ING which Pitzel said: "My daughter,
if at any time you hear I am dead, or
that anything very serious has happened
to me, do not. believe it. | will be safe,
no matter what you hear
The girl had barely finished making
this statement when her mother sprang
to her feet, threw her arms about wildly.
and exclaimed: 1Suoh lies, such fase-
hoods I never met with as in this
affair. Even you, my own child, de-
ceived me heartlesslyt and mercilessly. AS
the mother finished, she cast a look of
scorn on her daughters cringing figure.
The Ri RI further said, that after the
death of her father was reported she met
holmes in Boston, and Holmes said to
her 81 suppose your father told you
what to thinkyif his death was report
ed? To this Media made an affirmative
reply. Whereupon Holmes declared:
well, that's all right"
President Fouse secured additional in
formation from Mrs. Pitzel, which ten
ded to show that Howe was in league
with Holiness Mr.. Fouse afterwards
held long conversation with Holmes.

Bangor, November 21.-Bangor Is invari-
ably Indignant at any insinuation that it is
troubled by an over abundance of gas, but
today shat volatile element got loose indit-
ferent forms and made no littledisturbance.
Early this morning Miss Agnes Coates. a
cook in jacques restaurant in Pickering
square, went into coal hole in the cellar.
She carried lighted lamp and the wooden
door closed itself behind her. From leak
in the main gas pipe entering the building
the coal hole which extended far out under
the sidewalk had been filed with gas and
there was an instant and terrific explosion.
Why Miss Coates was not killed cannot be
explained. The door was blown from its
fastenings and she was thrown many feet
away into the cellar. She was scarcely
stunned by the shock, although her clothes
were nearly torn from her and those which
remained burst into flames. She thinks that
she landed upon her feet for in few
seconds she had gained the kitchen on the
first floor where one man dashed a pail of
water over her and another wrapped
heavy overcoat about her. But she was
very seriously burned and it will be weeks
before she is able to leave her bed providing
she reoovers. The explosion shook all the
adjoining buildings, broke all the glass and
displaced the plastering in the building
where it occurred
ANOTHER CASE.
Harry Goodwin, Maine Central brake
man went to sleep in a saloon car near a
heavily charged coal stove last evening.
Some time during the night shifting en-
gine bumped into the Car closing the funnel
damper of the stove. This morning when
Goodwin's conductor, in searching for him
opened the door of the car the outward rush
of coal gas was almost rpowering. Aid
was quickly summoned and Goodwin was
taken from the car apparently in a dying
condition, as his breathing was the fainteet
condition. Physicians and friends worked
over him for five hours before consciousness
was restored. He is now almost prostrated
but is such strong, healthy fellow that he
will recover.

Right Use Of Wealth.

Let the ingenuity Of wealth become

divinely directed, let its forces become
redemptive, let its ends be the social Ven
being. it's concern the common heai'h
and wealth Of the people, and u VIII
have discovered a true economy, ana IL
will create a new world. Jesus was under
no more obligation to give His lie Tor
the world than is the collective CHRISTIAN
capital Of to-day to give its money Tor
society in the creation Of Christian de-
mocracy of industry. Except wealth be-
come the manifestation OF the providence
of God; except it's economy be an answer
to the peoples prayer for daily bread;
except II so administer Itself that In see
ing il we see the fatherhood OF God; ex-
cept II believe on the Lord Jesus CHRIST,
1t cannot be saved. Mystical as this may
seem to so-called practical business
world, IT is both scientific and rational.
And IL there is any sphere Of life among
men where there is lack and need of
sense, 1t is in the practical business world
of to-day.
