TORONTO. Ont, July 19.-Detective
Geyer says Mrs. Fietzel win not view the
bodies of the children today The detective
is in close attendance upon her and will
allow no one to even have a look at her ii
he can help it. She is extremely careworn,
and he thinks the ordeal Of viewing the
bodies might have serious consequences.
Hundreds Of people are crowding round the
corridors of the Rossin House to get a
glimpse of the woman, but their curiosity
Is still unsatisfied.
Doctors Caven and Harrington continued
the post mortem examination on the re-
mains of Alice Pietzel yesterday. at the
morgue. What the specialists found will
not be made public until the resumed in
quest at the police court this evening, but
it is certain that traces of some narcotic
were found. After this examination Doc
tors Caven and Harrington spent the re-
Inainder OF the day in arranging the body
SO as to make it presentable to Mrs. Pietzel,
who will view the remains as sooh as she
is able. 1t Is understood that there was a
peculiar division in Alices two upper in
cisors, and by this Mrs. Pietzel says she can
at once identify her child. She also says
the children. The only parts of the chld's
body besides the teeth and hair which are
at all presentable are the hands. and these
also win be seen by Mrs. Pietzel. as there
are certain marks that may possibly help
in the Identification.
Philadelphia and other witnesses other thar
Mrs. Pietzel have been brought from the
United States to give evidence before the

SENATOR BRlCE's STRATEGY
he Secures Q Railroad Entrance to
Cleveland.
This Strengthens the baltimore and
Ohio ON Lake
Traffic.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 19.-It looks as
If the long-delayed reorganization of the
Valley Railroad Company is about to
reach successful termination. In fact,
the consummation so devoutly to be wished
was practically agreed upon in New York
yesterday. The news from New York last
night gives a few hints of the facts. Pri-
vate information indicates that the details
of the plan, which will be officially pro-
mulgated within the next few days, will
show a perfectly amicable adjustment of
the Valley troubles 1t will embrace an
arrangement whereby the Baltimore and
Ohio will retain an entrance into Cleve-
land. and will materially extend its facili-
ties at this port. AZ the same time it will
give the Wheeling and Lake Erie which
has long sought better lake facilities than
1t could receive either at Toledo or Huron,
an entrance to Cleveland, thereby opening
up the extensive coal fields in Jefferson
Tuscarawas and Stark counties to the
manufacturers and shippers of this city.
Beyond all this 1t is more than probable
that the new arrangement will permit the
Cleveland, Akron and Columbus road to
secure traff1c arrangement over this line
whereby 1t can run its own crews into this
city, privilege now denied them by the
pennsylvania company.
1t is known beyond a peradventure that
Senator Briee is quietly accommodating
Cleveland. Akron and Columbus stock, this
DelnS done without ostentation, but it is
being done none the less effectively. Sen
ator Brice is anxious to secure a better
entrance into Cleveland. While this is in
sense a secondary consideration in the
present negotiations, 1t had its effect in
securing an amelioration of the Baltimore
and Ohio's condition.

A VICTIM OF MORPHINE.
The Sad Spectacle Presented In Judge
Mil1cr's Court.

There was case in the Police Court this
morning which the judge found no easy
matter to dispose of in a satisfactory man
ner. The defendant was white man by
the name of Samuel r. Kiner. and the
charge against him was the larceny of a
gold Iocket from a personal friend. man
who has helped him on many occasions
and stood by him through thick and thin
for old times sake.
Kiner was a misunderstanding object as
he occupied seat in the prisoners pen.
He was nervous and siaky as a man could
be, and it took but a casual glance to see
that the man was a victim of the NOR
phine habit. His cheeks were hollow and
pallid. and his eyes We're CLASSY, with dis
tended pupils. His body was but mass of
little calfcus spots, where he had driven
the insidious needle home Even the SOles
of his feet were pitted and Scared.
Up to a few months ago the unfortunate
man was clerk in the pension office, but
he lost his position as 4 result of his use
of the drug. 1t Is said of him that he
carried a supply of morphine and the
syringe with him all the time and used it
constantly.
The complainant In the case today was
Mr. Smith. but he explained that it was
not because he desired to prosecute Kiner
for larceny, but to see ii something could
not be done for him. Judge Miller held the
man under Il fine of So. in order that he
might be examined by the physician.

woman had been living together nearBr.ght-
wood. About daybreak on the day of pie
murder Travers left the house to do some
work on a farm near Brightw5ud, just off
the Seventh Street road. There, according
to a confession made by him to a Star re-
porter day or two after, the woman
found him. She wanted the man to give
her some money. and when he told her that
he had none quarrel ensued. Travers
promised to give her some money that
evening and they became reconciled. The
man went off about his work, and
shortly followed by the woman She in
sisted, so he explained. that ne should kiss
her. and he did so. But she insisted upon
another, and told him that the proper way
to kiss her was for him to do so upon his
knees. To humor her. he said, he threw
himself upon his knees before her, put his
arms about her'neck and kissed her. The wo-
man threw her arms about his neck, he
stated. and while in that position Travers
said he suddenly discovered that the wo-
man had drawn razor from her stocking.
Remembering, he said. that the woman had
cut another man, and fearing that Sne had
induced him to kneel before her that she
could use the razor upon him unobserved.
Travers said that he struck her in the face
with his fist.
The blow, he claimed. was more powerful
than he intended. aad as she fell backward,
apparently dead. he covered her up with
brush and leaves. and moved off, He had
gone but a few steps, he asserted. when he
heard the woman groaning. Going back to
where she lay. he discovered that she still
lived, and believing that she could not re-
cover from the blow he had struck her in
the face. and not wishing to see her suffer
unnecessarily. Travers said: II picked up
the razor. which had fallen from her hand
when l struck her, and stopping down I
drew 1t easy-l.ke across her throat. Then
! covered her up again with the brush and
leaves threw the razor away in the bushes,
and buried her hat in a manure pile near
by"
This is also the confession which Travers
made to the police the night of his arrest.
but at his trial he swore that, although he
struck the woman down with blow in the
face. her throat was cut accidentally while
they were scufflDg for the possession of the
razor. Travers was tried before Judge Cole
last March his counsel. ex-Gov Alphonso
Hart of Ohio and Mr.. Alexander Wolf, urg-
ing that the man was of unsound mind,
and because of his impaired mental condi-

victed. however, and the Court of Appeals

An appeal was made to the President for
