PmLADKLrHIA. Nov. 2l.-The Pitzel
Holmes mystery dsepens as time wears
on. To day many theories In regard to
the mystery were knocked in the head
by the announcement that B. z. Pitzel.
the supposed murdered man. was seen
in Chicago less than two weeks ago.
President Fouse, Of the Fidelity Life
Insurance association, said to-day:
"This morning my Chicago repre-
sentative telegraphed me that MI.
Ryan, who is business man OF Chi-
cago, called on him and said tn at he
saw B. +. Pitzel in the city less than two
weeks ago. Mr.. Ryan says that he has
known Pitzel for many years aud has
had frequent business transactions with
him and that it Is impossible Tor him to
be mistaken.
"When they met Ryan did not know
that Pitzel was supposed to be deao and
the two greeted each other cordially
and repaired to q nearby saloon, where
they had drink together. Then they
separated and Ryan says that he does
not know whether Pitzel was to locate
in that city or not. However, our men
there and the Pinkerton detectives have
taken up the clsw, and II Is my opinion
that B. F. Pitzet will be produced with
in few days"
AN ADDITIONAL MYSTERY.
Following close upon the story OF :he
mysterious Disappearance OF the Will
iams sisters at the hands OF Holmes, the
life insurance swiudier, comes third
woman victim, namely, Miss Kate Dur
kee. Again It is the question: Where
is she? And again the answer: Proba-
bly, murdered. At all events. Kate
Durkee had property. The documents
representing the property came into the
hands OF II. II. Holmes by theft the
woman mysteriously disappeared and
Holmes showed title to the property.
Whoeysr Miss Durkee is. she was not
Miss Williams. She was OF dark COM
plexion, with dark hair and eyes, while
Miss Williams was blonde.
One year ago to-day, twenty-five cred
itors OF II. II. Holmes met at the office
of George B. Chambsrlin and made q
desperate effort to find out who and
where Miss Durkee was. 1t was sup
posed at that time that she was an 40
complice OF Holmes and that property
illegally obtained was being transferred
into her name, aud the creditors wished
to reach 1t. Suddenly Kate Durkee
dropped quietly and entirely out of
sight, and like the Williams sisters, has
left no trace behind.
II believe she was murdered" said
Mr.. Chamber in speaking OF the mat.
ter to-day. II believe also that both OF
the Williams sisters were murdered.
and make this statement on the
strength, not of published reports, but
what know personally of the matter"
MIR. Chamberlin, who is proprietor OF
the lafayette Mercantile Agency, began
his investigation Of Holmes year ago
last September.

FIREBUG AT WORK.
A COmmercial-St Printing Office
Narrowly Escapes Destruction.

A paipable attempt at arson was COM
mitted last evening a o'clock at $50 Com
mercial street, occupied by G. w. Nevin &
Co.. book printers, ana as the Office Of the
shipping paper, the Guide.
A printer, named Miller, and F. E.
Bridges, reporter, were at work in the
Guide mposing.rooms on the third floor,
when they discovered that the passage
way at the foot of the stairs leading TO the
street was ablaze. The flames leaped ten
feet high just inside the street door and
from above it seemed that escape ad been
absolutely cut off. The men secured
buckets of water and succeeded in quench-
ing the ire ana incidentally in saving their
lives.
When this had been accomplished they
discovered a pile of half burned kindling
wood and. bottle of coaloil wrapped in a
newspaper at the bottom of the stairs
The walls of the narrow stairway had been
spaShed with oil for distance of ten feet
up the steps. The casing of the stairs was
cnarred aud In few moments more the
fire would have been under full Roadway.
MIR. Nevin was sent for and expressed the
Intention to have an investigation made by
the Fire Marshal.
1t is thought that this is not the first
attempt of the frebug to play havoc
among the printers. On Sunday morning
of last week al O'Clock fire broke out in
the printing establishment of HOyle & Co...
next door TO tie scene of last nights
attempt, and before it could be extin-
guished considerable loss had been caused.
The place was deserted at the time and
the origin of the fire could be accounted
for on no other theory than that of ncen-
diarism. These two incidents folio wing
The burning out of Francis, Valentine s.
Co. in the Immediate vicinity gave color
to the belief that some one is bent on
having a wholesale confagration in
Printers Row.

There was some dispute as to the validity
OF the play. but the referee promptly con-
ceded the touchdown to the Zingaris, but

In the succeeding play Harries and Sum.

The ball was rushed by the Zingaris close

HAZEL WINS.
Result of the Second Race of the
Oakland Navy.

The second race Of the Oakland navy
took place on the San Antonio estuary
Yesterday. The weather at the start was
anything but encouraging. but by 2:1O
P NJ, the starting of the first class, the
wind freshened and the crafts went over
with a rush. The first to start was the
red class Is to 25 feet, which went over in
a Struggling form. Five minutes after the
white class followed Us to 80 feeD.
On this first round the canoes Dart and
Flying Scub had the best of it, but was
closely pressed by Won Schmidt in the
Whirlwind.
The first to cross the finish line was the
Dart, which made the course in 81 minutes
and 45 seconds.
Next came the Flash at 3:15:17, making
the course in hour and II seconds; the
Whirlwind at 3:16:36, making the course

was in the main very good. 1t was prompt
and generally correct. of course he is not
infallibe, but he would more closely ap-
preach u if players would take their med
icine" without rem0nstrance.
Morrison dribbled the ball out of the
scrimmage in center and Morse nipped the
ball and ran the length of the field. dodg-
ing cleverly under Summerfield's arms
Being tackled he passed 10 Casady, who
won a touchdown. Morse failing to score
the goal.
The Nomads developed some very good
forward play at this period of the game,
and Harries, also, despite the fact that he
muffed more than once. did good work.
The Nomads by continuous hard word got
the ball close TO their opponents goal and
Griffin scored a touchdown, the goal,
however, not being captured on the try.
The NOmads did not play nearly so we'll
as a week ago. and Hood, who has been
captaining the team, did not play yeSler-
day. His absence, however. scarcely
affected the game in its tlDal result, for
+. X. Gray, captain OF the ZingaIis, was
also uDavoidably absent.
Next Wednesday evening regular
meeting of the California Rugby Union
will be held in the Shiels' building. when
steps will be taken toward the admitta ce
of several clubs outside the city. 1t is
anticipated, too, that some arrangements
may be made by which clubs may be
brought here to play match game with
a picked team.

AN OVERWHELMING SCORE.
AND NOMADS BATTLE.
The Latter Do Not Favor Rigid
Ruling by the Referee-Some
Good Work Yesterday.

The first round of Association football
games has now been completed. The
Thistle Club fully sustained its reputation
yesterday, the Pastime Club not being
able to break the almost impregnable for
ward play of its opponent
The Rugby Clubs put up only fair game
at Haight street. and the Nomads had the
consolation of knowing that, at least. they
made beginning at scoring. A meeting
of the union this week will he held when
several matters tending to promote the in-
terests of the Rugby game will be dis
cussed. One of the football coachers from
Stanford University, at PalO Alto. was on
the ground yesterday and watched the
game with much interest. In his opinion
ii is likely that the Rugby will share with
the intercollegiate game the attention now
being paid 10 football at the several Cali
fOrnia universities.
The Thistle and Pastime clubs played
the last game ofthe round yesterday after
noon at Ocean View. Neither weather or
ground were avorabe, for while the wind
was too bleak 10 be pleasant, even to foot
ball players. the ground was soggy from
the recent rains. The field. too. being very
billy, at no time can offer any i0ducement
to PLAYERS to wander so far from home, for
one team or the other is bound to be un-
duly handicapped.
The following are the positions as filed
