UNION Ex-PRISONERS.
Every Comrade Who Suffered In Rebel
Prisons Should Join the Order.

The National Association of Union ex-Pris-
oners of War is especially anxious to have every
man who suffered in rebel prisons enrolled be-
meath its banner, either by Joining the local
Association nearest to him, or by individual
membership in the National Association.
We believe the time has fully arrived when
by united action we can make progress in our
aims and purposes, but to do so we must be able
to speak for, and in the name OF, all who suf-
fered in the prison-pens of the South, and hence
we do earnestly desire to have enrolled and rep
resented in our Association every veteran who
had the experiences Of even one day in those
prison pens, where so many of our brave COM

INDIANAPOLIs, IND. The charred re-
mains Of 9-year-old Howard Peitzel
and evidence which before any jury in
the country would convict II. II.
Holmes of having murdered him and
then partially burned his body in a
stove were found in a house. Detec-
tives Grier, of Philadelphia, Richards,
Of indianapolis, and Inspector Gary,
Of the Fidelity Insurance Co., can
claim the credit of the discovery.
Their attention was called by local
real estate dealer of Iryinton, q suburb
Of this city, to a small vacant cottage
situated in the woods at the edge Of
the town and far removed from any
other dwelling. The party went TO
the house and a few minutes later the
officers found beneath the side porch
the missing trunk which was taken
from the side door Of the Circle House
in this city, ON the 10th by Holmes,
and which was thought to contain the
body Of the boy. In barn connected
with is was a large stove, of cir
cular shape, Of the same pattern
ss Holmes bought in Cincinnati.
It was at once concluded that the body
had been burned in the stove and
search began for the remains. Late
in the evening attention was called to
the stove hole where the stove had
been. 1t was filed with refuse. This
was pulled out and the remains Of the
boy we're found. Physicians and den
lists we're there and in this pile Of re-
fuse, hundreds Of pieces of eharred
bones we're found. The teeth showed
that the body. was that Of boy be-
tween 8 and 10 years Of age and all
other bones confirmed this. All were
charred and pieces Of flesh chung to
some Of them. The skull bones
and pelvis added 10 the same
convincing truth. The body had
evidently been burned in a cob
fire and in the huge stove found in the
barn. Howard's Overcoat was found
in n grocery store nearby, where
Holmes had left it, saying the boy
would call for it. He never came.
Owners Of the house recognize Holmes
from pictures and several neighbors
distinctly remember his face. All
identify him as the man who last Dc
tober rented the house, with the same
story he told in Toronto and other
places, came with the boy aud the big
stove, washstand and bed, stayed two
days and then disappeared. Seven
people have identified him and all
doubt is removed.

THE SHERIFF. WILL SHOOT.
Sheriff CabelI Of Dallas Gets His In
structiOns.


AUSTIN, TEXAS. - Attorney General
Crane has given out his second opinion
anent the Corbett- -FitzsimmOns prize
hight at Dallas in October. This opin-
ion was called forth by an interroga-
tory prOpounded by Sheriff Cabel, of
Dallas county, as to whether in sup
pressing the fight he was legally en-
powered to shoot and kill those who
mterferred with him. The matter was
referred to the attorney-g general by the
governor and he handed down his opin-
ION Tuesday, holding that in the law
ful discharge of his duty the sheriff
certainly had the right to use firearms,
II emergency demanded. The attor-
ney-general bases his opinions on the
statutes governing riots, etc. He holds
as premise that the participants in
the fight, their seconds, referee, etc. +,
will comprise more than three people,
and inasmuch as they are assembled
for the purpose Of violating one of the
statutes, they are an unlawful or riot
Ous assemblage and by themselves liza
bio to summary dealings if the emer-
gency arises. The general
argues that these fighters, with ali
those in attendance, will certainly be a
gathering in violation of the law and
that under the law the sheriff or any
sworn peace officer is bound to dis
perse said assemblage at any cost.
The attorneY-general also adds at
the close of his opinion that while he
does not think that there will be any
occasion to shoot anyone, in peace
able city like Dallas, that if the emer-
gency does arise that will necessitate
his shooting and killing those who in
terfere with his duties that he will in
no wise be held respontible for muir

An Extensive Survey by DIR. Beck,
GeOlOgist.
SAN Francisco, CAL.-Dr. Beck, ge-
ologist, in charge Of this division of
the geological survey, has returned
from Alaska, where he has been MAX
ing n survey of the gold and coal fields
along the shore line. He was accom-
panied by DR.. VIM. H. Dahlen, who
went to make a special report Oh the
coal fields. This is the first work that
has ever. been done by the United
States in Alaska. He says there is no
doubt that Alaska is going to be al ac-
tive mining region, but he does not be-
heve it will rival the California mining
belt. The veins are not SO large and
we'll developed as they are in this State.
There has been quite an excitement
this summerall along the placers at the
head of Cooks inlet. The amount Of
SUCCESS thus far achieved hardly war
rants the amount Of interest exhibited.
The profitable washings thus far work
ed are confined to a few miles on Bear
Creek, which empties into TurnpgaG
arm. As to the coal deposits, the only
coal found that seems likely to be of
any commercial value was at Cooks in
let The coal is present in large guam
titles. It's heating quality is compara-
lively slight, so that it takes about two
tons TO do the work of one ton of Van
couver island coal. He believes the
coal could be economically mined, If
the work was done on a large scale and
with as great a system as the coal OF
Western Pennsylvania is worked.
