Queer Chicago House.
 CHICAGO, July 24.-Mrs. Carrie Pitze1 has made the direct statement that H. H. Holmes has accused Pat Quinlan, the present janitor of the Holmes castle, Six ty-third and Wallace streets, of the mur- der of Howard Pitzel, her son. This is the boy whom Detective Geyer is now searching for in Detroit.
 Accusations against Holmes however, are piling up and now it is promising that warrants charging him with the murder of the Williams sisters will also be sworn out.
 Mrs. Pitzel's charge ngainst Pat Quin- Ian came about in singular manner. She arrived in. Chicago on Sunday night last from Toronto. At th;sE time she sent for Quinlan, and he went to 6063 Sangamon street, the residence of Eugene Haywood, to see her. While he was there Mrs. Pitzel told him that Holmesi had told her in Philadelphia that he (Qhinlan) had made away with her son. Qtlnlan talked with Mrs. Pitzel for half an Hour, during which time she repeated the Charge of Holmes that Quinlan had killed Howard Pitzel.
 Quinlan has made so many contradicto- " statements himself that his arrest is mOmentarily expected.
 During the police examination of the mousse OI Il. Ol 8 wOman's wrapper, torn and stained, was found. The gown was Of dark goods, with white trimming and on the white cloth were found several dark spots resembling either iron rust or blood stains. An anal ysis will be made. r

 r. More About That Mysterious House.
 The house was surrounded all day by crowd of sightseers. Numerous and ur- gent requests for admission were made but the police carefully guarded the doors and would admit no one.
 The house was built under Holmes per sonal supervision, and its interior arrange ment is suggestive of mystery and of the mans devious ways. He was mysterious in all that he did. <
 A winding stairway led to his own apartments on the third floor, facing Six ty-third street. Electrical apparatus con- nected with these stairs and told him of the approach of any one.
 In his office swung the door of an ap- parently large vault. The door is one of the Diebold safe pattern, with combina- GlOn JOCK. lnSlU0 OI GnlS LOOT were two others of iron, always tightly closed. Hero, Holmes explained, he kept his valu- able papers. But pull at the inner doors told different story. AS they opened there was seen to be behind them nothing but the wall of the adjacent room The doors were d blind for the unwary who sat in that office and listened to the honeyed tales of the schemer. He could step from his office if he wished to be rid of an ob- jectionablc visitor and in an instant be hidden from all finding unless the walls were torn down.
 Railways narrow and dark, cross and recrOss at every point. Closets are innu- merablc, many with doors on two sides. If he weIH into his bathroom, there was under his feet a trapdoor. He had only to raise it and descend to another floor of the building and thence to the street by one of half a dozen ways, or there was above him q tr;rpdOor, and he could ascend.
