FOREST FIRES AT GLADSTONE.


Gale Blowing and the Property Loss
May he Heavy.
GLADSTONE, Mich, July 31.-Exten.
sive forest fires are raging north
west of this city and considerable ap-
prehension is felt for the 500 Railroad
company's roundhouse and the plant of
the washboard company. A strong
gale is blowing from the northwest
and unless it stops soon or shifts, con.
siderable property will be destroyed,
as much of it lies beyond the reach Of
the city water plant. The fire at pres
ent is in the Goodman addition, north
west OF the city. Another fire is rag
ing on the peninsula east of the city
and is destroying much valuable tim.
Der. 1t is feared that it will reach the
farms, in which case much suffering
will be caused. There has been no
rain for many days and the swamps
and slashings are dry.

ENFORCING THE LAW
Secretary Morton Turns His
Attention to Cattle in
Transit.
KEPT TOO LONG IN CARS
A Circular to Officers of All
Companies on the
Subject.

WASHINGTON, July 31.- Compare
lively frequent complaints have been
fled at the agricultural department
alleging violations of the law by rail.
road companies in keeping live stock in
transit confined in cars for over "a con-
tinuous hours, the legal allotted limit,
or failing to give the stock five contin-
nous hours Of rest @aen unloaded.
Most Of the complaints involve West
ern roads. Secretary Morton is deter.
mined that the laws regulating the
transportation of the stock shall be en-
forced, and representatives of the de-
partment will be required to assist by
furnishing all information of violation
OF the law that can be procured to the
department of justice. The secretary
has sent to all companies engaged in
live stock, insisting on strict compli-
ance with the law:
"The attention Of officers of all rail.
road companies engaged in the trans
portation of livestock from one state or
territory into another, or whose roads
form any part of line transporting
live stock from one state or territory
into another is directed to sections
1885, 1887, 1888 and 1859 of the Revised
Statutes.
Complaint has been made to this
department by its officers, supervising
the movement of animals in the inter-
state and export trade, that ths provi.
sions Of those sections are not complied
with by many railroad companies, and
that cattle and other live stock are
confined in cars for period exceeding
"a hours, and that at times when they
are unloaded they are not allowed the
five consecutive hours for rest provided
oy statute. The failure of the railroad
companies to conform to this law,
causes animals great suffering while in
transit to points Of destination, which
1t Is the intention of the law to pre-
vent. Railway companies will, there
lore, make such arrangements as are
necessary in their train service and
NaterinG ~, ns.s,s'ions, to comnlv WITH tho
statutes aHd Gary failure to do this will
render them liable on conviction to the
penalty provided in section 43S8."

OMAHA, July 31.-As the first day Of

that Judge Scott had not adiourned his
section of the district courR and would
be Oh hand to issue any judicial order

HE MADE SKELETONS.
Victims of Holmes Were Disposed Of
Oh His Own Premises.
Mystery of Pitzel's Death
Once More Explained"
Arch Consprator Gives Detailed Story Of the
= Occurrence.

CHICAGO, July 3O.-The search OF the
Holmes building was prosecuted yesterday
on the information given to the police by
NJ g. Chappell who says that he articu-
lated the skeletons of three of the supposed
victims of II. II. Holmes. Chappell told
the police that Holmes had two vats in the
cellar One, he said, was in the southeast
corner, and the other in the southwest
corner Of the rear cellar. They had since
been walled up, he said. One of the vats,
according to Chappell's statement, was
used as vessel in which the flesh was
eaten from the bones by the use of acids.
The other was for the purpose OF bleach
ing the bones
Twelve laborers worked all day yester-
day digging out the two corners designated
by Chappell, and were about to give up
the search as unsuccessful, when one OF
the men at work on the southeast corner
struck his spade against something which
gave forth a metallic sound. The metal
object proved to be a huge tank in the
shape of a boiler. 1t was located just
outside of the cellar wall and its top was
four feet from the grounds surface. Work
for the night was stopped before the tank
was fully uncovered, but apparently IL is
eight feet long and three feet in diameter.
A number of bones were found In the
basement, some of which Dr. Robinson
pronounced parts of a human frame. The
mixture of human bones and butcher shop
refuse is peculiar feature of several of
the finds that puzzles the police.
1t is probable that all the secret passages
and rooms in Holmes house will soon be
revealed as brick mason who claims to
have done all the queer work about the
place has offered to tell all he knows. He
was taken care OF by the police, and Is ex-
pected to prove an important witness.
The police secured yesterday skeleton
they believe to be one of the alleged VIC
tins Of Holmes. NJ. G. Chappell, who
claimed to have articulated several skel-
etons for Holmes, took two detectives to
the house Of a West-Side physician where
. complete skeleton was found. Chappell
says that he got the bones from Holmes,
and from the dates and other evidence the
police believe the skeleton to be that of
Miss Cigrand, the Indiana girl. 1t had
been sold to the Hahnemann Medical col
lege by Holmes, the police claim. This
find makes two of the three skeletons
which Chappell claims to have articulated
for Holmes, and the police are in hopes of
finding the third very shortly.
