PIetzel Thought to Be Alive.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-James McNeary,
conductor on the Sixty-third street
electric line, has sprung a new sensa-
ton in the Holmes case by stating
that Benjamin f. Pietzel is alive, and
that he recently talked with him on
his car.
McNeary claims there could be no
mistake, as he worked nine months
for Pietzel, and knows the peculiari-
ties of his voice According to Nc
Neary, Fietzel boarded his car few
days previous to Holmes trial Piet-
zel's beard had grown around the
greater part of his face, so that he
was completely disguised. When ad-
dressed, however, he admitted his
identity, and asked, as a friend. that
McNearv keep silence, as he was on
his way to Philadelphia. but McNeary
called in Motormau Letterman, and
he, too, claims that he had a CONVEX
sation with Pietzel.
Mr.. Robert Corbett, who has been
following the case for months in be-
half of the Farmers and Mechanics
National bank, Fort Worth, Tex,
claims he has also seen Pietzel. II
never believed Pietzel was dead" he
declared to a Daily News reporter
this afternoon, "for the following
reasons: First, when l was searching
the castle months ago, the man
who resent les the man seen by
the conductor and vmotorman,
and who, 1 then thought, was
Pietzel, found me in the building look
ing over some papers. 1 asked him
who he was. He said, after thinking
for a moment, Andrews and left.
Saturday l learned that Mrs Peitzel
was shopping at $3.50 May street with
Mrs. Haywood, and sent over to ask
her if she ever sent for the tool chest.
Both she and her daughter, Dessa,
declared they had not, and l also
discovered that Mrs. Piezel is waver-
ing in her belief in the Identification
of Pietzel, and begins to hope that the
children are living, but for her hus-
band, she does not care whether he is
living or dead. I believe that if
Holmes is not granted a new trial
Pietzel will declare himself to the
Governor of Pennsylvania when all
other means are exhausted. Isaac R.
Hit and myself both have his address
in Philadelphia. Minnie Williams is
stopping al the same place under the
name of Mrs E. NJ. Gardener, while
Pietzel is known as G. D. Hall"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Judge John
Davis delivered the opinion of a ma
jority of the court of claims, dismiss
ing the petition in the case OF the New
York Indians who claimed from the
government 81, 393, 900, because of the
alleged loss of certain lands in Kansas.
In 1881 and 1892 the United States,
through treaties with the Menominee
tribe in W1sconsi aside land in
that state for Indians of
the New York trlues who should
emigrate there. Some Indians went
to Wisconsin and received land, but
the number was relatively small,
Another treaty was therefore made in
1888, which provided for removal
further west. In that treaty the gov
eminent agreed to set aside land for
the tribes in what has since become
the state of Kansas and to give them
funds to esta blish themselves in their
homes. Less than 400 Indians, how
ever, moved, and after the lapse of
several years the land in Kansas was
given over to white settlement.

Barrios Railroad Contractors.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. ia
special dispatch from Port Barrios,
dated November Is, says five negroes
were found hanging by guards six
miles from town. They were recog-

lately arrived here to work on
the railroad construction, but who
became dissatisfied and fed. An in
vestigatson was made. but nothing re-
suited except that it was learned that
the negroes came from Louisiana. 1t
was given out that they must have
been murdered by robbers, but it is
believed that they were pursued by
the contractors and killed so as not to
allow them to escape. The life of the
American negroes at work here is ter
rible- Many have been beaten to

ditional clues O. tai Importance to

Graham said that it became his duty
to make painful declaration. During
the early part of the recent trial he
had received information that efforts
had been made to procure false testi-
nAony by bribery. subsequently he
leorned that these efforts were being
prosecuted. Thereupon he sent for

nothing about the case and that the
attorney told her that was all right,
and that she was induced, upon the
payment to her of $40 to sign the atfi-
davit which had been already pre-
