REGULARS AT MARYSVALE.
Indian Police Sent on Ahead to Try
Moral SuasiOns.

Cheyenne, Wyo., special: A private dis
patch received from Market Lake states
that the Ninth Cavalry is now encamped
in the Teton basin, near Marysvale. The
troops will not be moved into Jackson's
II ole until the return of the Indian police,
who were sent ahead to try and induce the
Indians to return to their reservation.
The reports from Marysvaie show that
the excitement is dying out in that section
and many of the settlers are returning to
their homes. The report of the near APP
proach of the troops has caused a bitter
feeling among the settlers. The dispatch
states that the settlers had arranged to
make an attack on the Indian force with
the intention OF driving them out Of the
country, but after receiving the message
from Gov. Richards advising them to act
only on the defensive they changed their
minds. 1t is claimed it will now be
necessary to keep the troops in the field all
summer and the Indians can only be held
in check by the presence of the soldiers.
Tie scare is spreading far to the south
and east of Jackson's Hole and settlers in
Fremont County are becoming alarmed.
The governor says the Indians no doubt
are Utes from Duchesne, who are hanging
around in the hope there will be a big
iight with the Bannocks, which will give
lem an opportunity to make all attack
upon these settlers and get back to their
reservations before the troops could inter-
ferc with them. These settlements are
about thirty-tive miles south of Lander,
and the governor says he does not believe
they are in any danger unless there should
be a fight in IIoback Valley.

CHICAGO POLICE THINK THEY
WILL CONVICT HOLMES.
The Modern B1uebcard'S GauZy Tale
Concerning Pitzcl-Says the Latter
Committed Suicidc-The Mysterious
"Mascot" Located in Arkansas.
Holmes Tells a Story.

II. II. Holmes tells to the Philadelphia
police an entirely new version of his con-
nection with Pitzci. who is supposed to
have been murdered for his life insurance.
He says the two had on foot a plan to de-
fraud the insurance company; that while
in Philadelphia Pitzel became Respondent
over financial difficulties, the sickness of
his daughter in st. Louis, and other mat
tiers. and threatened to commit suicide.
Holmes Their AYERS that he jokingly re-
marked to Pitzel: "Well, your body is
as good as any other, but l would not
advise You to do anything RASH
On the following day. Sunday, Holmes
says he went to the Callowhite street
house where Pitzel was stopping, and
found a note telling him that the suicide
had been accomplished. The letter plead
ed that Holmes look after Iitzels chill
dren. and suggested that there would be
no difficulty in getting the insurance mon
ey from the Fidelity company, now that
the dead body Of Pitzcl could be produced
in evidence. Holmes then told of the APP
pearance of the corpse, and said that he
sat in the room with the body for over an
hour. He finally made up his mind that
since PitZel had taken his life there would
be no harm in destroying any evidence
of suicide, so that he might be able to get
the insurance on Pitzel's life without any
difficulty.
Holmes has confessed that he thereup-
on dragged the dead body to the second
floor, laid the corpse on the floor, pried
open the mouth of the lead man with n
pencil and poured in n quantity of explo-
sive chemicals. He then. he says. placed
q lighted match to the mans mouth. when
the explosion which so horribly disfigured
the corpse followed. To give the more
forcible impression that Pitzel came to
his death by an accidental explosion
Holmes stated to the police that he got a
pipe Of Pitzel's, filled it with tobacco,
lighted it. then blew out the flame, after

FIL!EUSTERS REACH CUBA.
Roloff Expedition reported to Have
Landed on the Island.

Tampa, Fla, special: The long delayed
Rolotf expedition, which left Key West
carly in June, landed safely near Las
Tunis tie Dezazza, Cuba. Col. Figuerredo
,ays that not only will the district of San
Ia Clara at large rise in arms, but also the
province of MatanzaS, next to Havana, be-
cause both ROlOtf and Sanchez have a large
following in these provinces. Besides this
the large quantities of arm and ammuni-
ton taken were what the people there
We're waiting for. He calculates that in a
few days they will have 5000 men with
them. The landing Of this expedition is
considered as serious a blow to CampOS as
his defeat at Valenzuela. The Cuban
leaders were constantly afraid the expedi-
ton would be detected in its perilous po-
Sition. The steamer bearing CampOs from
Manzaniilo to CienfuegoS must nave sight
ed the filibustering steamer. The expedi-
ton remained forty days on this key
awaiting a favorable moment to embark.
That the expedition was eycellently or
gained is shown from the fact that during
all this time the party escaped the vigil
ance Of the United States patrol.

FLOOD.
Socorro Inundated and Scores Be.
Iieved to Have Perished.

Socorro, y. NJ, special: A tremendous
roaring startled the people of Socorro.
Shortly afterwards huge waves of water
came rushing down an arroyo which
drains the eastern slope of the Magdalena
mountains and three feet of water began
to pour through the principal street. The
shrieks of women and children were min
gied with the crashing of falling houses
and tie dying walls of souls swept into
eternity.
The water came in waves, each succeed
ing one being apparently higher than the
other. Portions of houses, household
goods and farm implements, mingled with
huge boulders, railroad ties and bridge
timbers, We're borne through the streets by
the madiy rushing waves. Grauadlly the
waters subsidized sufficiently toallow a par
tial inspection of the destruction. Only
two bodies were taken from the waters
before dark, a lead mother and her child.
An attempt was made to reach the people
living III the river bottom, but darkness
and the absence of boats prevented sue
cess.
A majority of the business houses have
escaped heavy damage or destruction, but
hundreds of poor people lost everything,
being homeless, without money and al
most naked. The two bodies recovered
have been identified as members of the
Duran family. Four more bodies were
taken out later and identified as members
of the same family, making six recovered.
Other bodies are reported as beng seen
but owing to the t%reacherOus nature of the
ground they cannot be reached. The de-
Structive waters spread over the entire
city and carried death everywhere. Re.
ports are coming from towns north and
south of here of heavy losses. For twelve
miles south the destruction of property
was terrible. Farm houses and crops
were entirely swept away. The Santa Fe
track was washed out between here and
San Antonio in several places. The
branch road from this city to Magdalena is
practically destroyed for ten miles out, five
bridges and several miles of track being
gone. A large section of track N the
south side of the city running east and
west was taken up by the waters and
turned north and south.
No estimate of the loss can be made, but
it is more than 81, 000. 900. Hundreds of
farmers have lost everything and in many
for cultivation. The number of persons
thus suddenly forced upon charity cannot
now be estimated.

Dun a. Co.'S Review.

New York special: X. X. Dua & co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade will say:
There is a perceptlble halt which may
deceive if attributed to wrong causes.
Trade, two months late III the spring,
pushed forward into July a large share OF
business belonging to April or May. Sec
ing a rush OF orders out ot time, many
have imagined ii would continue II hur-
ried to give other orders. The jam OF TWO
months business into one lifted prices.
Then other orders came to anticipate a
further rise, l'ut the midsummer halt was
inevitable, and it is yet somewhat uncer-
tain how much Improvement Will appear
after it. The crop of corn promises to be
the largest ever grown and is almost out OF
harms way. The crop Of wheat appears,
from later accounts, perhaps 2O,O0O,Uo
bushels less than was expected a month
ago, and had the best hopes been realized
it would have been more than 100, 900
bushels short OF a full crop. Cotton has
lost a little.
The general advance in many products
also causes reluctance to purchase, and
the distribution of the past half year has
been in part to make up for stocks and in
dlvidual supplies depleted during the W
years of economy. On the other hand,
there has been enormous increase in the
working force and a considerable increase
II wages paid, which enables people to
buy more freely. Strikes of some import
ance appear, but do not yet threaten to
last long. The hopeful spirit prevailing
in nearly all markets may find its warrant
in spite of some shortage in crops
Wheat suddenly rose 3 cents on bal re-
ports Of condition, but has declined al. the
gain as the scantlness of exports is felt,
shipments in July having been only 3, 1885,
0&i bushels, Jour included, from Atlantic
ports, against 1865, 6S3 last year. Western
receipts continue very small and farmers
appear to be holding for higher prices.
Corn is a shade stronger. Cotton has
risen a cent in price, wholly on bad con-
dition reports, but at the lowest estimate
the years yield, with stock carried over,
will exceed the worlds demand. Heavy
sales of coal are reported at prices at least
20 cents below their circular, and the
market is much demorali1ed, with iear Of
auction sales.
Failures for the week have been Pol in
the United States, against 23O last year,
and Is IN Canada, against Al last year.

DEVASTATION BY WATER.

Casper. WNo.. spccia': Further details
Of the terrible cloudburst which occurred
south of This city OF Casper Mountain, at
Tie head OF Garlon Creek, do not lessen
the seriousness OF the storm.
The creek is ABOUT seven miles long from
mouth to source and Is lined with camp
ers. Near the head o! the crcck is a sum
mer resort irequented by local picnic
parties.
The first thing the terrible food reached
was the pleasure resort At tlis point all
the buildings were crushed and swept
away and the original site OF The hotel AT
this point is buried beneath debris twenty
or more feet.

about ready to retire for the night.

wife and baby. Near the Newly camp

Alliance, Neb. llarrison'S two children
were caught in the great flood and carried
away.
Some idea Of the force ear be formed
from the fact that in the first W miles of
its course five lodges of rocks are to be
found. These lodges are twenty-five feet
high. In the first lodge are boulders torn
from the mountain side that weigh fifty
tons. Trees two feet in diameter were
torn up and carried down the stream. The
tents and wagons of all the campers up
and down the creek were destroyed, and
at least fifty persons escaped it'll nothing
but their sleeping garments.

the tobacco had been partly consumed,
and placed the pipe beside the dead mans
body.
Search in the basement of the Chicago
house has revealed almost everything sug-
gestive of dark crime except a corpse.
Skeletons and bones were there, but these
may have been procured from medical
colleges or other sources; they furnish no
proof of murder. More mysterious watts,
tanks, retorts and kindred devices have
been unearthed. And most important of
all, there has been found in the Arkansas
penitentiary a man who is said to have
been closely associated with Holmes in his
fraudulent life insurance deals and who
assisted in the transfer of the Fort
Worth, Texas, property of the missing
Williams girls. This man is known by
the name of Hatch, A. f. Allen, A. Z.
Bond, Caldwell and Mascot" and it is
thought was Holmes confidential agent.
He is serving a ~fifteen-year term for
horse-stealing, and he is now 55 years old.
He claims to know all about the disap-
pearance of the Williams girls and the
Pitzel children, but refuses to tell until
he is pardoned for his present term and
relieved of two more indictments for
demonstrating. Holmes not long ago as
serted that the man Hatch took the Pit
eel children to Toronto, in the company
of Minnie Williams, and that if he could
be found he could clear up the mystery
of their death.
An attorney went from Chicago to Lit
tie Rock to treat with the authorities of
Arkansas for the release of the old man.
and the strongest influence will be used
to secure all he knows. One other man
now held by the Chicago police is thought
TO know enough to convict Holmes. This
is Pat Quinlan: but in convicting Holmes
he will also convict himself, so he has
the strongest incentive to keep his mouth
shut. On the other hand. Hatch will
