The Bodies Those of Two Girls
Whose Father Had Been Murdered.
Toronto. Ont, July 15.-The bodies Of
Eta Alice and Nettie Pietzel, the missing
daughters of Benjamin F. Pietzel. were
found by Detectives Cuddy of Toronto
and Grier of Philadelphia this afternoon
buried in the cellar Of house No. 16 St.
Vincent street. H. II. Holmes, now under
arrest, is believed to have murdered the
two girls after killing their father in Phil
adelphia. Inquiries began by the police
led to the knowledge that Holmes and
the children lived at the house in question
and search was made by the two officers.
A photograph of Holmes was shown to
Frank n Nudel of the Ontario Education
al department, who owns No. 16 st. Vim
cent street, and without hesitation he iden-
titled 1t as that of the man who had rented
from him last October and who, after
very short stay had departed. When they
reached the cellar II appeared to the de-
tectives that something had disturbed the
cellar floor and arming themselves with
shovels they began to dig. A short dis
tance below the surface they came across
the arm and portion of the head of one
of the murdered girls and further work
soon revealed the bodies of the two VIC
Tins. They were both nude and had lain
there in all probability since last October.

scREwMEN MAY GIVE BAIL.
Their imprisonment a Great Hard
ship on Their Families.


New Orleans, La. July l5.-This MORN
ing application was filed in the criminal
court by the attorney for the screwmen
who were indicted for rioting and murder
and have been confined in the parish pris-
on since March last. praying that they be
admitted to bail. The plea set forth in the
application is to the effect that the men
have families who are dependent upon
their manual labor for their support Much
stress is laid on the fact that David Burke,
William Gallicio and John Cullen were
tried on an Indictment which is similar
TO the one upon which all of the defend
ants are held and the said trial resulted in
the failure Of the jury 10 agree upon a
verdict
Since the Incarceration Of the defend
ants, their families and those dependant
on them for support. have been deprived
Of the necessities of life. and in some in
stances their families have been elected
from their homes owing. TO their inability
to pay their rent. 1t is also stated in
the bill that it is understood that none Of
the cases will be fixed for hearing during
the present term. II is therefore prayed
that they be admitted to the benefit Of
bail. as a further confinement in the par
ish prison without a speedy trial is a great
hardship and contrary to their constitu-
tional right and privileges. Twenty-four
Of the thirty-six men indicted men are
married men, and have families, and they
have never before been charged with any
crime against the law.
Judge Noise granted the application and
fixed the bond at 1900 in each case.

a statement was given out by the ac-
counting officers of the treasury, puo-
lished specially in these dispatches. to
the effect that as the new fiscal year

branches Of the public service, with which

on the subject the calamity howlers are
trying to check the growing prosperity

issue in the coming campaign. II viii
