CONDUCTORS AND Two-HoRsE CARS.
What AnacOstia Citizens Want of the
Anacostia Railroad.

What AnacOstia Citizens Want of the
Anacostia Railroad.
Mr.. Henry johnson of the committee of
the Anacostia Citizens Association called
upon the Commissioners this afternoon to
urge the request of the committee that the
Aracostia railroad be compelled to put on
conductors, well as two-horse cars, on
its line. This committee appeared before
the Commissioners last week to present
this request, and Mr.. johnson was anxious
to know whether any action had been taken
upon 1t.
He reiterated the charges of mismanage-
nent of the road made against President
Griswold, and said that there was no rea-
son why the road should not be compelled
diction of the Commissioners to waive the
law requiring two-horse cars and conduc-
tors in the case of lines travelling through
sparsely settled sections. but Mr.. johnson
contended that this exemption should not
apply to the Anacostia road. He stated
that the action of the people of Anacostia
in supporting the strikers was a crystalli-
cation of their long pent-up feelings of dis
satisfaction against the management of the
road as well as of sympathy for it's under
paid employees.
The Commissioners stated that they were
anxious to hear both sides of the question,
but that through press of business they had
failed to notify Mr.. Griswold to appear and
present his side. They said that they would
take the whole matter under advisement
and endeavor to arrive at an early conclu-
sion.

More Bones Found in the Holmes
House.
MURDERER WILL Be SENT TO TORONTO
Gen. Jimenez, the Cuban Insur-
surgent, Assassinated.
THE NICARAGUAN QUESTION

CHICAGO, July 25.-The Holmes charnel
house yielded new horrors today. Several
more bones and a small piece of dress
goods have been found there. The discov-
cry was made when the search was re-
sumed in the basement of the Holmes
premises this morning.
Before the police had been at work an
hour two more human bones were found
IN the damp earth of the basement, and
with them was bit of discolored cloth,
apparently portion of womans dress.
One of the bones found, a shoulder blade,
was apparently that of an adult, while the
other, a socket bone, was smaller and ap-
peared to be that of a child. The police by
the discovery today were confirmed in their
belief that the skeletons being uncovered
are those of the missing Mrs. Common and
her daughter Pearl
L, Mrs. Pat Quin,an, wife of Holmes eX-
'5anitor, was found by the police and given
q severe cross-examination. She had been
reported as missing. but declared that sne
had made no attempt to hide herself. MRS
Ouinlan had evidently been instructed by
the detectives to maintain strict silence.
This Girl Not Missing.
The story that Quinlan's eleven-year-old
daughter had been murdered by Holmes
" as disposed of today when Mrs Doyle
called at police headquarters and declar-
ed that the girl was with her fathers par
ents, nine miles from South Haven, Mich.
Mrs Doyle said that her mother owned
the house in Toronto in which the bodies
o. the Pitzel children were found.
The police. after an extended interview
with Mrs Doyle. became convinced that
She will be an important witness. She dis
plaimed particular knowledge Of the case,
but In an unguarded moment remarked
That the pictures of the PitZel children in
The Chicago papers were good ones. When
her attention was called to this statement,
Mrs Doyle hesitatingly acknowledged that
Ahe had met PitZel and knew the family
slightly. All efforts to get her to talk free
~ were unaveiling.
1t is evident that through her the police
tfave learned of another Of Holmes al
heard of.
Another Pretty Woman Gone.
In talking to a reporter Mrs. Doyle said
that one Of the prettiest of the women who
ever came under Holmes influence is also
missing. Her name was Miss Cigrand
and she was originally from Indiana said
Mrs Doyle, and abe was on the point Of
giving further Information, WREN the police
cur tly ordered her to cease talking, and
ended the interview. William L. Doyle, the
,woman'S husband, who Is a mason and
contractor, was found at his home, not far
from the Holmes building, on sd street.
Doyle said that in the latter part of 1891
he rented the fiat in the Holmes block that
COnnor and her daughter. He said that he
and his wife thus became acquainted with
Holmes and Minnie Williams. Doyle said
that Mrs. Connor's disappearance dated
from 1891 instead of '93, as has been re-
ported.

THE ANACOsTIA ROAD.
Mr.. Randle States the Proposition
Made to Mr.. GriswOld.

Mr.. Randle States the Proposition
Made to Mr.. GriswOld.
A proposition has been made to Mr.. Girls
void, the president and owner of the Ana
costa street railroad, which, If accepted.
will, it is expected, result in an extension
of the road along Nichols avenue to Con-
gress Heights, a distance of about one
mile. Mr. Arthur E. Randle. who repre-
sents the owners of the Congress Heights
property in conversation with Star re-
porter today, said:
I'VE have already purchased some stock
of the Anacostia road and expect to secure
some more AS has been stated In The
Star l made an offer to Mr.. Griswold to
purchase the road, which he declined. we
have now made another proposition to him.
which Is in effect that If he will build the
proposed extension to Congress Heights we
will take the bonds necessary to cover the
expense. I have not received oennite
answer as to this latter proposition from
Mr. Griswold AS I have said. we have al
ready acquired some stock in the road and
desire more. our purpose being TO estaDIsn
business relations with the Anacossia road
for the purpose of maintaining line to
our property. We have great confidence IN
Mr.. Griswolds ability as railroad man
ager. He has carried on the Anacostia
road under great difficulties and has made
a splendid showing.
"As you are perhaps aware. at the last
session OF Congress a charter was pro-
cured Incorporating the Capital Railway
Company. In our proposition to Mr. Girls
void this company proposes, in erect, to
construct the branch to Congress Heights
and have it operated by the Anacostia
road. Ultimately I suppose the road will
be extended to Overlook Inn. In the event
that the arrangement for building the pro-
posed new line is made, Mr.. Griswold will
continue in charge Of the management OF
the road, and while the new line will be
owned and controlled by distinct company.
it will be actically under the same man.

CHINAMEN IN COURT.
Judge Miller Hears the Charges OF
Conspiracy.

Judge Miller Hears the Charges OF
Conspiracy.
Judge Mller's temple of justice has been
the scene of several gatherings of China
men during the past two weeks.
AS heretofore published in The Star, the
first of the Chinese trouble was a shooting
affair on the Fourth of July. Moy Chew
was arrested for the alleged attempted as
sassination, but the grand jury failed to
return an Indictment. 1t was claimed by
Moy Chew's friends that All Sing, the man
who was shot shot himself to get Moy
Chew in trouble. Then followed the swear
ing out Of warrants against members or
the Sam Lee (cut-rate) Company, charging
threats and conspiracy.
The Cinnamon whose names appear as
being accused Of these serious offenses are
All Sing, Chl-lie Birg, Sue Cow, Lum kee
Sing and Moy Foon. The last two men
toned have not been spprehend Lum
Kee Sing, it is said, never lived here but
was only here two days as a guest Of All
Sing while Moy Foon's whereabouts are
unknown.
The Chinese cases were called in court
this aftern bon after the regular routine
cases had been disposed Of. and there were
so many Cinnamon in court that there
were not seats enough to accommodate
them.
Members of the Hop Chung Lung Com
pany were out in full force. and there was
no lack Of legal assistance in the case.
Tigers Versus Dogs.
One of the most important features Of the
documentary testimony was the letter al
legged to have been received by three Of the
Cinnamon who are interested in the prose-
cution. The latest translation of this letter
as made by Mrs. Collins, who was a Chi
nese missionary. is as follows:
There is no one able to get the victory
ever the people of Hop Shing Tong. All
the people belonging to Hop Ye Tong are
rot able to hinder US. We must carry out
or work. and no one Is able to stand
against us. Obey US and you will live;
| disobey us and you will die. We are strong
| and brave and able to do anything. You
are weak and your hearts are afraid.
| Yew Moy-Moy Chew in the court when
| tried was pale with fear. We are tigers:
you are dogs. How can dogs fight tigers?
You are like a snake. We are the dragon.
| The dragon is stronger thar the snake"
| There were a number of witnesses ex-
| amined, and the hearing was in progress
when The Stars report closed.
