SHIPPING DESTROYED BY FIRE
Six Boats and Covered Pier at Brook
lYn Burned Yesterday.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Aug, Fire to-
day destroyed the covered pier of Boards
stores and did considerable damage to
shipping. The bark Cairnie Hill, from
Calcutta took fire, as did two canal
boats, three lighters and pile driver.
The Cairnie Hill was towed out
in the stream where, after a stub
born fight by the men on board
and by the two fire boats, the flames were
extinguished. The canal boats were also
towed away before they had sustained
irreparable injury. One of the lighters,
however, belonging to the New York
Central Railroad Company was entirely
destroyed. The second, the property of
the New York Lighterage and Transpor-
tation Company, was considerably dam
aged. The third, the Walter Keats,
belonging to the Greenpoint Lighterage
Company, also sustained a good deal Of
damage.
A rough estimate made by the fre de-
partment officials places the total loss at
about $3.50, 900.

Holmes then discussed the disappear
ance of Mrs. Connor, Minnie Williams, the
Pietzel children, B. B. Pietzel and Ed.
Hatch
'Mrs. Connor, knew little of. She
and her husband rented rooms from me.
/ believe she had trouble with her hus-
band. She left my place. had no in
terest in keeping track of her afterwards.
The charge of murder is grOundless.
There could have been no motive for me
to injure the woman.
Minnie Williams, the poor girl, was
my best friend. She was unfortunate in
more ways than one. cannot believe
that she is still alive. God only knows
where she is, as she is a fugitive from
justice on account of the awful tragedy
which resulted in the killing of her sister
Mama.
Here Holmes gave a graphic descrip-
ton of the killing of Mana Williams by
her sister. He spoke of other troubles
that Minnie became involved in in In
diana.
"As to the finding of the bodies in
Toronto, / do not know that the bodies
are those of the Pietzel children. lean

my hands safely. gave them into the
charge of Ed. Hatch. If Howard Piet-
eel has met with fopl play his body, l
believe, can be found somewhere between
Detroit and Indianapolis. Likely at
some of the junction points between the
two stations most probably at Logans-
port, Ind.

Ed. Hatch. When l met Hatch later
inquired where the child was and Hatch
told me that he left Howard with Minnie
Williams. emphatically declare that
Pietzel took his own life."
When asked if there was insanity in
his family, Holmes said that he had an
uncle who died insane near Burlington,
VT. He says this disease is inherited.
He says it will not be more easy to prove
him guilty of murder than it is to prove
that the moon is made of green cheese.
Pratt and Holmes the Same Man.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. There is
hardly any doubt that the man Pratt
named in a recent Topeka despatch as
having lived there, and H. II. Holmes
are one and the same. Allen Mascot, -
the convict in prison says Holmes went
by the name of Pratt in Texas.
Allen spends most of the time berating
the newspapers. To an Associated Press
reporter, he said "a reporter, who
came out to see me last Friday, had me
wrongly reported as saying that Holmes
came near swindling Jew at Dennison.
Pratt, that being the Texas name of
Holmes, was afraid to go to Dennison,
and left me ten miles from there. This
was early in May, 1894, and l have not
seen him since.

THE LAW ON PRIZE FIGHTING.
There is no Power TO Prevent the Cor
stt-FitZsImmOns Mill.


DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 1.-Ex- Circuit
Judge Charles F. Ticker, who for many
years sat upon the bench and greatly
distinguished himself for his legal ability,
and who is regarded as having one of
the clearest legal minds in Texas, stated
the law governing prize fighting as fol-
lows
The last Legislature adopted a new
criminal code in which it made prize
fighting misdemeanor punishable with
fine not less than $500 nor more nan
$1,000, and Imprisonment for thirty
days. This law went into operation
July 30, just passed. The Legisla-
ture also subsequently passed a civil
code and enacted that fights may take
place by making out license of $500.
This law goes into effect September 1st,
or thirty days before the Corbett- Fitz-
simmons contest. There is no doubt
our Supreme Court will hold that this
is, or will be the law after the first day
of September. The civil code was adopt
ed last and therefore takes precedence
over the other.
This statement about these laws is
concurred in by every lawyer in Dallas
who has read them, and it will be seen
there is no power to prevent the fight
taking place. Around headquarters TO-
day everything is quiet. The sale of
seats goes merrily along, not to toughs,
for they have no money to pay the price,
but to railroad magnates and bank peo-
pie. 1t is singular that more railway Off
cials have bought tickets than any other
class.

and Shoshones that at the proper time
the government will be informed that
peace can be secured only by increas-
ing their rations. :.

RED SPRINGS, N. c., Aug 1.
The Deacons' and Elders Institute now
drawing to a close, is said by all to be in
every way the most successful that has
ever been held at this place. The crowd
has been larger than ever, the speeches
that have been made and the sermons
preached, have been more powerful and
effective than heretofore, and it is
thought that much good has been ac-
complished by this, the fourth Institute.
Notwithstanding the immense crowd
that have been here from the beginning,
the hotel accommodations have been ex-
cellent.
The Institute will close tonight, and
preparations will be begun at once to get
ready for the Baptist Chautauqua which
will begin here on the IS inst. | know
of no better place in the State that the
Baptiets and Presbyterians could have
selected to hold their summer meetings
than Red Springs.

SCOTLAND COUNTY ELECTION.
The Result of Yesterdays BallOting
Not Vet Known.
Special to the News and Observer.
IAURINBURG. N. c.. Aug

1AUHlNBURG, N. ", aug L.
The election on the division of Rich
mond county for the establishment of
Scotland county was very exciting, but
passed off without serious disturbance
here and at adjoining precincts to day.
The campaign against the new county
was very bitter and such as to poison the
unintelligent voters minds. The best
element of all parties in the county ter
ritory voted for Scotland, but many Of
the ignorant were prejudiced by mali
clous fabricatiOns as to the loss Of the
school fund, establishment of the whip
ping post, annexation to South Carolina,
enslayement of the negroes, etc. In the
count of division the vote demonstrates
that the new county territory is for the
division, though the opponents Of the
new county stoutly claimed that it could
not be carried in Scotland" The result
is uncertain and will hardly be ascer
tained tonight
The whole of Richmond county voted
on the division, and if carried it is an
election unprecedented in the history of
the formation of new counties, if de-
feated it is by no means dead.
Defeated by 800 Majority.
ROCKINGHAM, N. O., Aug. /,
The Scotland county election to-day
was quiet. The weather was good and
comparatively full vote was polled in
both sections of the county. The new
county is defeated by an estimated
majority of 1900 in the whole county.
The Ajority against Scotland in Rock
inghs Z alone more than enough to
offset the majority in favor of the county
in Scotland territory. The vote in
favor of Scotland in the four townships
out of which it was proposed to form
Scotland county was less than one-half
the registered vote The new county
received only 81 votes in the seven town
ships of Richmond county outside of
Scotland territory.

WANTS A SUMMER HOME.
General Harrison Negotiating For a Tract
of Adirondack Land.

Old FORGE, n. Y, Sept 6.-Whether
or not he is TO be presidential candidate
or president, General Harrison has decided
TO spend his summers in the future in this
vicinity. The negotiations which he is
carrying on with DIR. Seward Wobh, owner
Of thousands of acres of Adirondack land
will probably result in his buying a num-
Der of lots near First lake, in the vicinity
of Dodd Camp where he now is.
About a fortnight ago General Harrison
endoavored TO buy the land which sur
rounds Mig Moose lake. This is ono of
the most delightful spots iu this vicinity
and has been a favorito hunting and fish
ing ground for the general since he came
hore. This land, which IS about - miles
from Old Forge, is in litigation, and DR..
Webb wrote Co General Harrison TO that
effect. In doing SO he gave him the re-
fusal Of five lots on First lake, near the
Little Moose lake trail. These lots are
but short distance from Dodd Camp.
