EVIDENCE NOT FOUND.
Various Wild RumorS as the
Investigation Slowly
Progressed.
ONE MORE CRIME ALLEGED.
The Suspected Murderer Of the
Pitzel Children Said to Have
Killed Miss Conner.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 23.-Four sturdy
laborers dug all day in the cellar of the
house formerly occupied by H. H. Holmes
at Sixty-third and Wallace streets and
found little encouragement for their toll.
The net results of the days labor were a
womans petticoat of small polka-dot
pattern, the cover of an iron teapot
and a small piece of iron, which
at first was supposed to be portion of a
human skull, but which the reporters
present would not build story on.
Once the delivers came upon a board
covering to gaspipe. This was at once
announced as a coffin containing the body
of Anna Williams. The detectives in
charge of the case did not deem the search
of sufficient Importance to be upon the
ground sooner than 4 o'clock.
The building is now closed to everybody.
including reporters, the merchants occu-
plying it being very indignant about the
sensational stories which have been sent
out, few of which had any foundation in
fact. Not a clew has yet been discovered
which is conclusive. The petticoat found
to-day had some discoloration on it which
may or may not be blood, but which looks
remarkably like those which might have
been made by piece of rusty iron. The
petticoat was found in barrel half hid
den in dirt in corner of the cellar-iust
such barrel with just such contents as
may be found in almost any cellar.
Within few days the big brick block at
Sixty-third and Wallace streets where
Holmes carried on his alleged crimes will
probably be RACED to the ground. When
the work of demolition is accomplished it
is believed that the fate of Minnie Will
liams. her sister Ina, Mrs. Julia l.. Conner
and Gertrude Conner will be known by the
revelations now hidden by the mysterious
pile.
The detectives who have been searching
the building have found themselves baffled
by its peculiar construction. Careful
measurements indicated spaces unac-
counted for by the size of the rooms. The
only way to find any tangible evidence of
crime was to tear down the building to
the ground floor. The Building Commits
sioner visited the place to-day and found
it unsafe. The owners will be asked to
remove it.

HE HAD MILLIONS,
But Lost Them Ali-Now Indicted by the
Grand Jury.


Grand Jury.
Los ANGELEs, Cal, July 1.-The in
dic,ment Of Clinton E Mayne for
attempting to bribe members Of the city
government by the San Diego grand
jury has caused his career to be looked
up with the result that very sensa-
tional story is revealed.
Mayne was formerly "boomer" in
Omaha. He is reputed to have been
one OF the most successful real estate
dealers in that city. Beginning life as
telegrapher he soon found his sphere
too narrow at the key, 80 he branched
out as o real estate dealer. Ia short
time he became one of the king pins Of
Omaha's real estate boom.
In sbe heyday of his success he was
reputad TO be worth SO, 900. 600 or 81, O0o,.
600. Finally tho boom burst and Mayne
found himself poor man. After that
it is alleged he speculated in real estate
in Denver and other Wegtern cities. He
went to San Francisco and from there TO
San Diego. whore he acquired some
property. A few months ago Mayne
came to Los Angeles and opened a real
estate office here.

this contest for the single standard of

and exaggerated representations Of our
government officials and representatives
in reports made in 1869 and up to 1868
and laid before the international statis-
teal congress in Berlin In 6eptember,
1868, and repeated in the Paris monetary
conference Of 1867. that our country
would produce from $500, o0O, 900 $780,
