VERDICT AGAINST HOLMES.
The Pietzei Inquest Ended and Warrant
Issued.

The Pietzel Inquest Ended and Warrant
Issued.
The nd ourned inquest at Toronto, Ont,
on the body OF Alice Pietzel was concluded
Monday night. There was very little evil
dence submitted and nothing OF n new or
startling character. The coroner charged
very strongly against II. II. Holmes, alias
Mudgett. alias Howard. OF numbering Alice
Pietzel In the city OF Toronto on or about the
a5th day OF October, 1891
After the return OF the verdict the coroner
made out warrant for the arrest OF Holmes.
The warrant will be placed in the hands Of
the attorney general and the necessary pa
pers will be made out demanding Holmes
extraditiun.
II. II. Holmes Is now In prison In Philadel-
phia awaiting trial on the charge OF conspir-
scy to defraud the Fidelity Mutual Life In
surance Association of $4,000. This amount
was obtained by Lawyer Jeptha D. Howe. OF
Peitzel, who. 1t is alleged, was killed In the
explosion Of a chemical and who had short
ly before been insured In the Fidelity Com
panv.
More startling disclosures have been made
to the Chief OF Police OF Chicago In the
Holmes investigation. by Patrick Quilan, the
trusted friend and former employe OF the al
legged wholesale murderer. He gave informa-
tion which convinced the police that Holmes
made away with Kitty Kelly, who was en-
ployed by him as his clerk. at the drug store
In Englewood. Qulnlan gave the police
picture which he said was that OF the missing
girl
Chief Badenoch said the case was growing
more horrible and mysterious every hour, and
he was sure Holmes had committed more
murders than the world had yet been appris-
ed OF.

fitted by the advance.
The Pewabic mining company OF Iron
Mountain, Mich, has announced a 10 per

STILL ENCOURAGING.
Volume of Business Not Great, But the
Tendency Healthful.

Tendency Healthful.
b q. Dun d Co.'S weekly Review OF
Trade" says 1t is not the season for the tide
OF business to rise, but there is scarcely any
shrinkage except that which comes natur-
urally with midsummer heat. The volume
OF new business is small compared with re-
cent months, but large enough to encourage
more openings OF long-closed works and
more advances In returns to labor. Ac-
counts OF shrinkage In the yield OF wheat
come from Pacific states and from the Da-
kotas. 1t would be an unnatural July with
out such reports, and ret they have weight
enough this year TO advance the price 81
cents. Western receipts for the week were
only 1886, ,068 bushels, against II, 9S3, ,6l9 last
year. The western movement largely de-
pends on the export demand, which Is
phenomenally light. Corn advanced about a
cent with wheat Cotton has remained un.
changed ut z cents. although the latest re-
ports favor larger estimates OF the yield.
Prices OF iron and steel products still rise,
the feature this week being the startling ad-
vance OF 60 cents per keg In cut and wire
nails. with new cards for various sizes, which
1t Ia stated, makes the advance really greater
than 1t appeared. Angles are also shade
higher. and other prices strongly maintained.
Bessemer pig does not advance, although the
Carnegie and one other company have been
buying about 140,0 900 tons which is supposed
to forshadow large contracts for rails.
In the first half '95 orders for rails were
5000 tons against 502, 900 In the first half
OF last year, and good many small orders
appear at Chicago. Otherwise there is dis
tfnct halting In new demand, though nearly
all iron and steel works are crowded with
orders for some time to come. The prospect
that other furnaces with capacity Of 5000

south, will go into blast with the remaining

WAR VESSELS.
An Exedition Departs From Delawar,
Bay For Cuban Waters.


by Tuesday or Wednesday Of this week
there will be In Cuban waters the largest ex-
pedition from this country that has yet left. .
II will be under tho command Of Col. En-
rique Colluzo, who arrived in this country
about July o, aud since that time has been
preparing Tor the expedition.
Cuban sympathizers in Philadelphia play
an inI ortant part in the expedition, as II
was there that all the men were enlisted for
II, and where all the arms and ammunition
were shipped. The ship is fitted out as a
war vessel and also to cope or run away
from any Spanish war vessel now cruising in
Cuban waters. She is capable OF n speed OF
II knots an hour and has made 10. About ten
days ago trial trip was made of Sandy
Hook. Under forced draughts she averag
ed for the four hours nearly l76 knots.
She was at once accepted and the money paid
over. Clearance papers were obtained and
the vessel put out to sea.
A contingent Of about 25 loyal Cubans.
skilled shipwrights and experienced men-oi-
wars men, were shipped on another vessel
and transferred to her on the high sens The
men at once went to work Transforming her
to n condition suitable for the serious work
ahead. Rapid firing four and six-inch guns
were purchased, and these, with two gattling
guns, were sent out out in the same vessel
and by the time the boat reaches Cuban
waters she will have quite formidable bat
terry in position.
What is needed more than anything else
by the insurgents Is said to be aboard the
vessel. There Is said TO have been loaded
from this city 5000 Remington rifles and
so, 600 pounds OF ammunition. The rifles and
ammunition are said to have been shipped to
this city by the manufacturers, or rather TO q
point near this city, and loaded on vessels at
points down the river and bay. They were
then carried out to point on the high seas
