DU MAURlER,s NEW BOOK.
ssThe M~artians' to BE Issued Soon In
Three-Volume Form.

LONDON, June 29.-Du Maurier recently
stated to a reporter that his new novel, en-
titled, "The Martians." would shortly be Is
sued. 1t is to be issued in three-volume
form, and will be considerably longer than
either of it's predecessors. Du Maurier ex-
pressed much interest in the success which
.'Trilby'' dramatized had had In America
Why said he, Il hear that a manager
named Brady has recently paid Mr.. Palmer
a large sum-, and has started no less than
six companies out on the road. America Is,
indeed, a large country
Asked as to whether he would accept any
offers to lecture or read in America, he re-
piled: NO. / am growing too old to en-

Du Maurier and Beerbohm Tree are both
anxiously awaiting the arrival of A. Nj.

some amicable -rrangemen as to Mr.. Trees
use of Potter's dramatiZation of the mover.
Failing in this. Du Maurier will at once
proceed to dramatiZe the story himself. MI.

mort published in some of the American

They Die Within Fifteen Minutes of
Each Other Il Prison.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal:
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, June CIVIL
lam II. Artman and Joseph Paxton, two
lifetime convicts in the Prison South, died
this morning, within fifteen minutes of each
other. while lying side by side in the prison
hospital. Artman was the victim of con-
sumption, while Paxton died from the eff
fects Of a blow delivered by William Thur
man, aged sixty-one years, another life
time man. Artman resided near Tell City,
Perry county. and was converted to spir-
ltualism. His wife, whose parents were
Quakers, and consequently opposed TO Art
man because he was not of their faith, tried
to win their daughter away, but this made
her cling TO her husband still more closely.
In February, 1893, he became crazed
through religious excitement, and one night
beat his wife into Inconsistencies because
she was singing a song he did not like.
Three days later he again attacked her and
their little boy, and literally stamped them
to death. His wife was found the next
day by some neighbors with her face torn,
her body mangled, and perfectly nude.
Artman was arrested and sent up for life.
Paxton killed Spencer Bryant in this city.
in 1888, during a fight at a ball. He was
sent up for life, and was continually fight
ing with his fe~llow-convicts. until a few
months. ago. when William Thurman
struck him in the head with a s~ldege-ham-
mer. from the effects of which he died.
Their friends were notified. but did not
send for their bodies, and they Will be bur-
led in the prison cemetery.

A rat. a terrier and a small boy caused

Madison street about 8 o'clock last night,
rat, which was a most natural-looking rub
Der affair, was connected with a long, thin
pipe and a bulb. Every time the boy
squeezed the bulb the rat would leap for

ladies on the street would shrek with ter

lighted the crowd, which surged down on
the boy and the rat from every direction.
The fun was kept up for an hour or
more, even the policeman on the beat stop
ping now and then for a good laugh. Sud
denly, however, a sleek-looking rat terrier
sprung through the crowd and made for
his mortal enemy. Down he bounced. The
boy gave the bulb a jab and the rat leaped
about six feet. Again the dog made a

out a most lifelike squeak, which delighted
dog and audience alike.

MURDER WILL OUT"
John o:undy Arrested for Killing His
Wife Two Years Ago.

TOLEDO, o., June 29.-John Mundy,
charged with the murder OF his wife two
years ago, was captured in st. Louis, Mo-,
and brought TO this city to-day. The cap
ture was a remarkable piece of police work
by Chief Raitz. o. the Toledo force, for
the murder was not known until less than
q week ago. when the body of the woman
was found under a house in which the
Mundys had formerly lived. Two years
ago Mrs. Mundy disappeared and her hus-
band soon after moved out of the city,
but nothing wrong was suspected, as Mundy
gave IL out that his wife had gone visit
ing. When the body of the murdered wom-
an was found last week suspicion pointed
TO the husband as the murderer, and the
police went to work on this theory. Mundy
was traced from Toledo to Detroit and from
there 10 st. Louis, where he was found
to be living with 4 niece as q mistress.
While being brought to this city by the
Toledo officers Mundy confessed TO having
murdered his wife and placed her body
under the house in which they were living.

ON II HOLMES CASE
A PHILADELPHIA DETECTIvE IN
TOWN LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE.
Children Were Murdered fin
This City.

Frank Geyer, a Philadelphia detective.
arrived in the city yesterday afternoon.
and one of the first things which he did
was TO consult the local police authorities.
Mr.. Geyer will be here for several days
working up the celebrated Holmes insur-
ance swindle case. in which a ST. Louis man
named Pietzel and his three children dis
appeared. after which Holmes claimed the
insurance on Pietzei's life. Mr.. Geyer
comes TO attempt TO clear the mystery
which surrounds the case. for ii has always
been believed that Pietzel, and. perhaps.
the children were murdered. H. II. Holmes.
or Howard. as he sometimes called him.
self, is known to have spent some time in
indianapolis. and Ii may develop that this
city was the enacting place of the sup
posed tragedy. III is said that the children
were brought here, but what became Of
them is unknown.
The case was one of the most celebrated
Of the country, as the amount at stake was
large, ard the operations of Holmes were
most daring. Mr.. Geyer is reticent about
what information he may have. but II is
said he has additional evidence which indi-
Gates that murder was committed. and at
Indianapolis is to be found a link in the
chain of evidence. Holmes is now serving
a long term in the Pennsylvania peni-
tertiary, having been convicted at Phila-
delphia for defrauding the insurance COM
panies. Pietzel disappeared from st. Louis
and Holmes laid claim to the insurance
upon his life. He produced a corpse which
he claimed to be that of Pietzel. but which
was proved otherwise by the insurance
companies. Towards operations cover
nearly the entire continent, and he is
known 10 have visited a half-doZen cities.
He was here for some time, and while
here he attempted to defraud a young lady
living on the South Side, to whom he was
married. She had turned over her prop
erty to him, but. fortunately, his true char
acter came TO light and she suffered little
financial loss. There is a possibility that
Pietzel was murdered here, or that his chill
dren were made away with while In this
city. Mr.. Geyer was sent here for the ek-
press purpose of learning all he can OF
Towards transactions here, and even NJ
as a ciew to what has become of Pietzel
and his children. Howard is known to have
several wives, and he has maintained all
the time that the children are with one OF
them in Europe. He claims to know moth
ing of. PietZel.
The Philadelphia detective will hold a
consultation with superintendent of Police
Powell this morning, and a detective VIII
| probably be detailed to assist him in his
work. Mr.. Geyer is stopping at the Spen-
Ger House. He retired early last evening,
and when an interview as asked ne re-
piled that he had nothing to say about the
case. and was in a position where he could
not talk.
