TORONTO WANTS HOLMES.


Him for Child Murder.
TORONTO, July 1S.-Although 1t is
known that almost all the clothing of the
murdered Pitezel girls W as burned, some
articles Of attire belonging to them were
stuffed into the chimney and into holes
around the house at is st. Vincent street.
Some Of that clothing has been traced
and the last link in the chain of evidence
against Holmes has been practically forged
by that discovery. The attorney generals
department has taken all the necessary
preliminary steps for the extradition of
Holmes.
The clew which led to the discovery of
the bodies wns furnished by Thomas w.
Rives, an old man who lives at IS ST. Vim.
cent street, noxt door to the scene of the
tragedy. Last October Mrs. Nudel's house
was vacant, and she advertised for a ten.
ant. One Saturday afternoon q quiet ap.
pearing stranger called and arranged to
take the premises at monthly rental Of
$40. Rives identified this stranger in the
portrait of Holmes. He said widowed
sister, then living at Hamilton, was COM
ing down, and that she intended keeping
boarders. He obtained the key and left.
Holmes returned in few days, bringing
two children with him. Rives saw them
In the yard and again on the front ve-
randa No furniture was brought to the
house except an old bed and very much
soiled mattress and trunk The express.
men who brought the bedding came when
Holmes was out, and the things lay ex.
posed on the veranda in full view of all
passers.by for two days.
Soon after this Mr. Riyes missed the
children, They vanished completely, and
Holmes won't too. There was some com.
ment on the strange way OF doing things,
but no suspicion of murder was ever
aroused. Then new tenants came, but re-
mained only short time. Mrs. Nudel
employed Rives, who is carpenter, to
make some repairs, apd this gave him Qc.
casion to pay a visit to the house. lie
went to the cellar, and there saw that
pieces OF fresh clay were scattered around.
He mentioned this circumstance to Mrs.
Nudel, but still nothing was suspected,
and the affair was being forgotten when
accounts of Detective Geyers search for
the Pitezsl children brought the incident
again to Riyes mind. He notified the po,
lice, and the discovery Of the dead bodies

is thus described by Captain Casson of the
British bark GQpica: "A grayish sap runs
out freely, and this they collect and drink,

easily. Within half an hour after imbib-

The members refused to tell the result
and come even asserted that no deeisi ion

cision had beon reached but that 1t had

publicly. 1t is understood. and from
good authority. that there was a hard

another caucus thls afternoon. But un.
!ess this is done the ticket which was
used IN these columns yesterday will un.
or two changes.
1t is doubtful II a slate namsd by o
caucus ever met with more opposition
from those who framed 1t than the one
announced yesterday. The opnositi on
came from worker in tie o tY " 10 were
OF the opinion that the workers wore the
nen who should be rewarded. Every ef.
fort was made tn break the slate and eau
didates yesterday announced.
II was held that Isaac @. Pyle. who was
slated for clerk OF City Council. had never
done any work for tue party and that the
place belonged to VIM. P. Morrison, who
has been a party worker. There was no
fault found with the selection of coal oil
Inspector. and baillff OF Council but there
was objection to the selection OF Mr..
Monaghan for the reason that his father
was already member Of the Police Com.
mission and his brother clerk In the post
office.
There was also dissatisfaction because
nothing was allotted to the Fourth ward
and threats were heard that John b.
Meaney woald not aga be elected o
member from that ward. 1t was also held
that tho place OF park guard should have
been given to some one other than
Michael McGillin, because there were men
WHO had worked harder for the party.
1t was here that Mr.. willard Salisbury
shove his hand, anu as skilled poiiti-
clan he directed what men he wanted the
members Of city council to vote for How
well he succeeded will be shown In the

Walked out she haard q scream.

Behind a maddened team.

She seized flying rein,
And pulled them on their haunches bach
With ali her might and main.
But now. hias. the sweet young man
Had fallen In eWoon,
Aud Clara bore him in her arms
Into heer saloon.
And when he opened his dowy eyes
Where bearly tear drops strayed,
He bluehdd and said with many sighs,
Where Is that brave young muid2

She lives on Madison Square,
He blushdd and turned his face away

Grew ntryOus and afraid.
But when stern mamma saw the flush
Upon har boys fair ohsek,
While Clara stood In quiet strength,
Her stony heart grow weak.

Beside good land and peIf.

And Oft the tale Ia told.

tests, and one record breaking and beauti-
fully rowod raoe-the intermediate eights.
The winning crew, the Wachusetts Boat

and half In min. 1914 sec., or three
seconds botter than the previously best
record, made by the Trltons, of Newark,

vored the rowers, but outside Of that it
was hard fought race. The crews en-
tered were the Wachusetts of Worcester,
the Eurekas Of Newark and the Montrose
Bont club
For the first eighth Of a mile the three
crsws were on even terms, all rowing a
FORTY stroke. Coming to the quarter the
Montrose eight pulled into the Eurekas
water and gave them their wash, practi-
eally putting them out OF the race. Up ITO
she mile ID seemed as II the race belonged
20 Montrose, but after that tho Wachu-
setts, with u olean telling stroke, simply
Forced their boat, inch by inch, past their ri
walls, and at mile and q quarter there was
glimpse of clear water between them.
Within twenty yards of the finish the
Montrose men had Tapped tho nose OF
their boat over the stern Of Wachusotts
And were still crawling up The nose OF
fhe Waohusetts' shell had barely cleared
HE line when the Montroso boat touched
D. The race was won by q third Of
length.
In the first event, the first heat of the
senior singles, Fred Hawkins, of New
York, and Y. A. Rumohr, of Toronto,
sntered. Just below the mile and three

mohr finished alone. Time, 8 min. 80 sec.
In the second heat of senior singles, ].
Z. Whitehead Of Boston, n. Mckay Of
Toronto. Fred Cresser of Philadelphia,
and John s. Hackett of Rat Portage, con.
bested. Hackett had II lead over Cresser

cablogram from St. Petersburg saying

government for the three new battleships
being built in st. Petersburg, and which
was the first similar order ever secured by
