INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 29.-Indianapolis
will claim the right to try H. H. Holmes
for murder. This claim will be based
upon the horrible developments of
Tuesday, which include the finding Of
the charred remains Of 9-year-old How
ard Pietzel and evidence which, before
any jury in the country, would convict
Holmes Of having murdered him and
then partially burned his body in q

the seat of Butler college, and before
they had been at work all hour their at
tention was called by a local real estate
dealer to a small vacant cottage in the
woods at the edge Of the town and far
removed from any other dwelling. In
few minutes after the officers had en-
tered the cottage they found beneath
the side porch the missing trunk which
was taken from the side porch of the
tcircle" house in this city Oct. 10 by H.

found. Physicians and dentists We're

found. The teeth showed that the body
was that Of a boy between s and 10
years Of age, and all the other bones coll
tirned this. All We're chalred and

The skull, bones and pelvis added to the

Howard'S overcOat was found at gro
Gerry store near by where Holmes had
left it, saying the boy, would call for it,
Owners Of the house recognize Holmes
from pictures, and several neighbors
distinctly remember him. All identify
him as the man who rented the house
with the same story he told in Toronto
and other places, came with the boy and
the big stove, washstand and bed, stayed
two days and then disappeared. Other
developments are expected, and with
this evidence indianapolis will demand
Holmes for trial.

COULDN'T TooT AND RUN.
Curious Excuse for Pulling Trains OF a
South Dakota Road.

CuriOus EXCUSE Tor Pulling Trains On q
South Dakota Road.
GETTYSBURG, S. D., Aug. .29.-Every
train on the entire system of the Forest
City and Sioux City railroad between
Gettysburg and Forest City has been
pulled off, and the elevators along the
line have stopped buying grain. The only
reason given by General Manager Smith
was that the farmers living along the line
of road insisted on the engineer giving
the regulation number Of toots of the
whistle at each wagon crossing. This
was a great drawback to the fast time
Mr.. Smith would like to have his trains
make. They had to come to dead stop
at each crossing, as it was impossible,
with the engines in use, to make steam
enough to run and whistle at the same
time.

Holmes. R. w. Stewart, of the firm Of

SIX COMPANIES DISRUPTED.

fractional Fight Ends the Existence Of
the Powerful Chinese Organization.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29.-The fac
tional fight that has been going OH for
some time in Chinatown between the
See Yup and the S IN Yup families, has
eliminated in the disruption Of the Six
Conn anies, the most powerful organi-
zation ever instituted by the Chinese
i'll this country.
Minister Will Try His Hand.
All the efforts of Consul General Ii
Yung Yew and other prominent Chi
nese to bring about Il settlement Of the
difference has resulted i'll failure and the
Chinese minister at Washington has ;,ll-
noutlced his intention Of coming to San
Francisco and trying his powers as a
peacenlaker. The secession Of the See
Yups from the Six Companies leaves the
latter with the small end of the organi-
zation and I, depleted treasury. The
boycott started by the See Yups has
nearly ruined the Sam Yup merchants,
and, if not ended soon, it will cause the
retirement from business of a large
number Of firms.
Not Confined to San Francisco.
The boycott is not confined to this
city, but is being extended to every
place in the United States where Chi
nese reside i'll any number.
This state Of affairs has been tele-
graphed to the minister. A few days
ago he informed the Chinese officials
that unless the boycott was declared off
within II days from the date Of his tele-
gram he would come to San Francisco
and take a hand in the controversy
This is understood to mean that some of
the leaders may expect to have their
heads Topped off whenever they return
to China unless they comply with the
commands Of the minister.

Man and Nature.


The mountains and the forests and the seas,
Oldest of mourners with pathetic tone,
Have each a natural music, all their own
Set in accord with human destinies,
Sad tender, manifold. What is more sweet
Than woodland melodies at noon? More mild
Than dimpled ocean, like laughing child
That lisps, and rolls jewel to Ieeu,
Breathessly calm? And them within an hour
Behold that self-same the shore
Lashes; the forest quakes; with deafening power
The rocks rent. Then, oh! amid that roar
Awe-struck we sink. fall upon our knees
1e mountains and We forests and We seas
The mountains. and the forests and the seas,
Have each their music, with our mortal lot
In sympathy, to soOthe, eXalt, appease;
And man, too has his music has note
OF worldwide sweetness; tender reveries,
Drges of buried blsses unforgot,
Rejoicing paeons glorious symphonies;
But all Of them lack something; they have not
The voice once heard in Eden; and the ear
Pleased with rich sound is as when some one
sings
In great court before king of kings
he closes; and of rapture born, cheer
Shakes the high roof; but when the lord of all
Speaks, there is and silence in the hail.

late at night and get up very early in the morn
