by detectives q few minutes after the req

Fitzpatrick, who made a careful exami-
nation and expressed the opinion that the
stains on the garment were blood. A
physician was asked to make an exami-
nation of the garment. He cut away a
portion where the stain was deepest and
put piece in a solution of salt and
water. The stain was washed out and
discolored the solution. 1t is blood with
out doubt" said he, "and I will make
microscopic examination. A woman
who has done washing for Minnie Will
liams said the missing woman wore un-
derclothing like that found by the offic-
ers. It is said that Holmes will be
brought to Chicago to stand trial on the
charge of murder. That was decided up
on last night. Service cannot be had un-
til Holmes is released by the Philadelphia
authorities, but the moment he is, If that

| Bath, July 49, AS soon as seventy five
oil barrels arrive here the work of laying
the big water pipe across the river will
begin. For the oil barrels will be used
to carry the pipe out to the scow,
ready or..sinking in place.
The reason for this is that on a short
job like this the contractor would not feel
justified in fitting up his scow with mo-
tive power, so he will anchor the big
craft in place and take the pipe to it,,
moving the scow only as the work of
laying progresses.
Meanwhile crew of men is at work on
the Knox & Lincoln wharf putting the
pipe together in joints of five. AS fast as
each set of five lengths is completed the
ends are closed and the whole tested by
a powerful pipe SO that :any weakness
n any piece of pipe may be exposed here
on the wharf where the fault can be easi :
ly repaired by putting in new section.
Then each section will be rolled off the
slip rugged for it into the water where the
empty barrels arranged with hooks
make strong float. Then, taking .ad-
vantage of the time, the lengths will be
sculled or pulled to the scow for hand
ling.
This scow is powerful, having six long
ltudinal bulkheads to give backbone and,
on account of the.current, has it's derrick
rugged at the end. A big truss, or
straight edge will be lowered upon the
pipe and chained to it, to prevent any
straining of joints, the heads removed
from the pipe, and the sections lowered
away.
A tremendous big boiler supplies steam
for the big sand pump steam jet so that,
as fast as the pipe is ready the sand is
removed in a trench so that the pipe can
be buried by another reach.of the an
chor. Then these sections will be joined
by Mr.. Falcons patent ball and socket
which can be put together under water
Thus the work is made easy and can be
pushed forward rapidly

Baltimore, Jnly 22.-Rev. Edward

Tor the purpose of encouraging emigra-
tlon from the South to Liberia. He to-
Gay denouncedlthe efforts being made by
foreign governments to colonize Africa.
1t can never be done successfully" he
said, for the reason that the white man
is not adapted to the climate of Africa.
Ihe only means by which Africa can be
evangelical, colonized and civilized is
through thesagency of the American ne
gro. L believe that the black race is des-
tined to go back to Africa and rule that
country andfat some future time there
Will be large exodus of negroes from the
UnltedsStates to Africa, but not now,
for generations to come. There are lessons
TO pc learned in the house of their bond
age, Doth by the negroes and their former
masters before large exodus to Africa
would be anything but a peril and a
stumbling block to the cause of genuine
African progress. Enough will go to
keep the way open and produce healthy
impression upon the stagnant barbarism
OF the African continent, but not enough
to make the slightest impression upon the
numerical staus of the negro population
of this country. Neither France nor Eng
land is disposed to stop the progress of
Liberia..on the African continent. If she
is able to advance in the interests of civ
ilization I do not claim that the recent
treaties will make any change in the po-
lltlcal or commercial status of the repub-
lie. There is still ample room for materi-
al development and there are reliable
