Quinlan, wife of the janitor, was
again given a severe examination. The
woman who a few days ago was cool
and defiant, is beginning to weaken,
and the police believe that she viii
shortly tell all she knows of the case.
Her testimony is expected to be SEN
sational and will, it is thought, lead to
the conviction of the husband.
The search of the Holmes building
was prosecuted today on the informa
ton given to the police by NJ. S.
ChappeA, the machinist who says he
articulated the skeletons of three of
the supposed victims of Holmes. Chap
pell told the police that Holmes had
two watts in the cellar. One, he said,
was in the southwest corner and the
other in the southwestern corner of
the rear cellar. They had been since
walled up, he said. One of the watts,
according to Chappells statements,
was used as a vessel in which the flesh
was eaten from bones by the use of
acids. The other was for the purpose
of bleaching the bones.
Twelve laborers worked all day dig
ging 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 some
thing which gave forth a metallic
sound. The metal object proved to be
huge tank in the shape of a boiler.
It was located just outside the south
cellar wall and its top was four feet
from the ground surface. Work to-
night was stopped before the tank was
fully uncovered, but apparently it is
eight feet long and three feet in diam
eter. Except for the discovery of the
tank, the search in the basement was
fruitless. Above stairs the search was
almost as barren of results as that
made in the cellar.
Spirited Away.
Although the police authorities be-
lieve that their diggings and search
ings at the Holmes building. in Engle-
wood, have been rewarded by a large
amount of evidence of crimes commit
ted by Holmes, many here believe that
since his arrest many things have been
taken away from the place. This be-
lief receives q large measure of con-
firmation by a story related tonight by
]. f. Foley, a driver for an express
company. One day last April. Pat
Quinlan called at the office, Foley says,

Mr.. Horn. resuming, said that there
was no such general lack of prosperity
in this country as Mr.. Harvey had
claimed. Mr.. Horn said he spoke from
the result of actual contact with the
people of the country. Since 1873 he
had travelled over 500, 900 miles, cover
ing thirty-one states. It was a fact
that no people on the face of the earth
had been as prosperous as the people
of the United States since 1873. Why
during the last year the people whom
Mr.. Harvey said were on the verge of
starvation had paid over 100000 for
500. 900 bicycles, and they were not
strictly articles of necessity They

the Trust.
CEDAR RAPIDS, To-, Aug. THE
annual meeting of the Retail Butchers
Association of Iowa, in this city, has
had the effect of calling to public atten-
ton the aims and objects of the So
ciety. Very little has been published
in regard to it, but, as its purposes be-
come more familiar, the people will
understand that this association, with
those of other states, as we'll as the ma
tional association, is making fight to
preserve to the people one of the great
est industries, that of the protection of
beef cattle, as well as the local butch
ering establishments and the retail
markets of the country. 1t is the in
tention to enroll every retail butcher
in the country. They will then open
packing and butchering establishments
in the different cities of the Northwest.
This part of their business will come
up at the national meeting in Septem-
Der, when it is expected that two or
three of these plants, with several mil
lion dollars capital, will be established.
One of the objects of Mr.. Brokate's
visit to this city was to personally look
over its advantages as a location for
dressed beef and general pork packing
establishment, which it is expected will
be located somewhere in Iowa. There
will probably be plants, also, in Min
nesota and Wisconsin, and possibly in
Dakota.

MRS. PEITzEL WAS THERE
with Holmes in Chicago With
Her Two Children

CHICAGO, Aug. IF. B. Little,
night clerk of the Grand hotel, thinks
he has solved the mystery of Holmes
female companion from ST. Louis to
Toronto when the Pietzel children were
taken to the Canadian city. Mr.. Little
has identified pictures of Mrs. PietZel
as the woman who, with Holmes and
the two little girls, occupied two rooms
at the West End hotel on Oct. last.
At that time Little was night clerk at
the West End. He says that Holmes, a
woman about thirty-eIght and two lit
tie girls entered the hotel and Holmes
asked for two rooms, the doors of one
of which were to be tightly locked dur
ing his stay. The two little girls were
kept close prisoners, and whenever
they escaped into the hallway they
were dragged back into the room, as
though their very existence should be
kept a secret. Little recognized the
Pietzel children from photographs, but
it was not until he had studied num-
Der of pictures that he positively identi-
fed Holmes. When shown a number of
pictures of women in the case he
pointed to one of Mrs. Pietzel and said:
THAT is the woman who was at the
hotel last fall" If Little IS not mis-
taken in his Identification the myster-
iouS Hatch is Holmes after all.

CHEAP EXCURSIONS.
Plenty of Them Coming East and
West.

CHICAGO, Aug. THE Burling-
ton has declared that, no matter
what other lines do, it has decided
to run a series of excursions, along
its Nebraska lines particularly. This
means that all other roads having in
terests in that territory will take
similar action. The outlook for
cheap passenger fares in the near
future seems to be bright at present.
The Eastern passenger men are in
trouble over the discovery that the
Chicago market is stocked up with
the return portions of round-trip
tickets from the East. The scaIpers
have about all they want of the
tickets and are doing considerable
business with them. This fact,
tackled onto the announcement that
the Boston terminal lines have de-
cided that they will have no Joint
agent at Boston to look after the
business to the conclave of the
Knights Templars, has made the
horizon Of the Eastern passenger
man look about the same deep blue
shade as that which meets the view
of his Western brother. The Balti-
more & Ohio helped things along a
trihe today by announcing an excur-
sion from Chicago to points on the
Atlantic seaboard for one fare for
