Vincent street, yesterday afternoon, were
the bodies of Alice and Nellie, the two
missing daughters of benjamin +. Pit
eel. Detectives Cuddy, of Toronto, and
Geyer, of Philadelphia, made the discov-
cry, and all doubts as TO their fate have
been set at rest. 1t is now a matter al
most beyond doubt that Ii. III. Holmes.
when he was here last October, deliber-
ately murdered the pair and thus rid
himself OF two troublesome young beings
after he had murdered their father In
Philadelphia. The inquiries begun by the
police led to the knowledge that Holmes
and the children lived at the house in
question, and search was made by the
two officers.
A photograph of Holmes was shown to
Frank N. Nudel. of the educational de-
partment, who owns No. 10, and without
any hesitation he identified it as that of
his tenant When they reached the cell
lar 1T appeared to tho detectives that
something had disturbed the cellar floor,
and arming themselves with shovels they
began to dig A short distance below the
surface they came across the arm and q
portion of the head of one of the little
murdered girls Further work soon re.
vealed the entire body, not only of the
first, but of her sister. They were both

bility since last October. The last trace
the officers had of the children was at De-
troit. They were taken there from Chi
cago, where they had been attending
school. They boarded on Congress street,
west, one week in October, 1894
Holmes secured possession of Alice,
aged IL, first taking her to Philadelphia
to identify her fathers body. Then he
went to ST. Louis and told the mother
that he would put Howard and Nellio in
a good school in Indianapolis. This was
on Sept. 20, 1891. Mrs. Pltzel received
two letters from Holmes In Indianapolis,
and acting on his advics she went to her
parents homo in Illinois. Becoming
worried about the children she went to
Chicago, where she received. word from
Holmes to so to Detroit. She met him
in that city and demanded the children,
but was induced to go with him to Toronto
and then to Burlington, Vt. So far as
known the boy was never seen In Detroit,
There were no traces of violence on the
bodies and it is thought Holmes decoyed
the children into a trunk under some
pretext and took them to the house. Then
gas was inserted by means of tube
through a small hole. The trunk with a
hole in 1t, neatly covered over with strap
tackled down, was found III one of Holmes
rooms. No trace of the boy Howard, a lad
of s. has been found. but he is thought to

A BOMB FOR oHARLorrE.
The Quick Work ofa SkilIfoI Bank
Exaniner-Eight Years OF Dishon-
est Practice.


Cashier j. Il. Holland, of the Mer.
chants and Farmers Bank of Char
lotte, is a defaulter to the amount OF
$50, 600 or more. Bank Examiner Mil.
Ter has been here for several days and
says he will remain for at least two
weeks longer. 1t was he who discover
ed the defalcation. Mr.. Hollands
speculations have been carried ON for
eight years past and he has managed
till the last few days to hide them from
discovery. The exact amount of them
Is not yet fully known.
Mo man in Charlotte has in the past
been held In higher regard or been
more fully trusted than Mr.. holland,
and the Whole city was greatly sur.
prised and shocked to hear of his en-
bezzlement. He has not yet been plac-
ed under arrest at the request OF the
directors of the bank, he agreeing to
waive all examination in case proceed
ings are begun against him. He has
never made the slightest effort to es-
cape.
Week before last Bank Examiner
Miller stopped at Gastonia on his way
to Charlotte. He examined the ma
tional bank thoroughly, and knew
every bank with which it had an ac-
count or money loaned. He found that
bank in good condition and came on
to Charlutte. The first day he spent
at the Merchants and Farmers Bank
he discovered on looking over Cashier
Hollands books, where he had loan
of So, 900 marked to the Gastonia bank
He called Mr.. Holland up and asked
If that was correct. He said yes. Mr..
Miller made u mental note OF the fact
He next proceeded to look over the
cash. He found it short just one dol
lar. This was easily accounted for and
paid in.
That night Mr.. Miller left. No one
asked where he was going, it being
supposed that he was through his OK
aminations and had gone elsew here
on the same errand. He had gone but
only to return. He took the lO.4O
train for Gastonia, rung up Mr.. Jenkins.
the president of the bank, and told
him he wanted to look over his books
again. Mr.. jenkins wondered what was
up, but said little. He and Mr.. Miller
spent the night going through the
books. No loan OF $4,000 to the Mer-
chants and Farmers Bank was found
Mr.. Miller said: "You have loaned
the Merchants and Farmers Bank,
OF Charlotte, S.. 900, Of which there is
no record" mo" said Jepkinks, 81
have not"
That was the beginning of the end.
Mr.. Miller said nothing more, but
came back to Charlotte the next day
He appeared ut the Merchants aud
Farmers Bank, AMI said to Mr.. Hol.
land that he might have made u
mistake in counting the cash the day
before, and believed he would count it
Instead of finding it only 81
short, he found it $4,000.
Mr.. Holland, as was his custom, had
borrowed $4,000 to put to his cash
while the examiner was here, but
he had finished and departed
and that he was safe, at least for
another year, he withdrew the $l6, 900
and returned it to the party from whom
borrowed. Seeing that all was lost
he confessed to President McAden that
he was a defaulter and the sad story
of his fall became known. The Mer-
chants and Farmers Bank is perfectly
safe, having a sufficient reserve fund
to cover all losses.

EDGEFIELD 8. O., April 24.--At II

| these men live within few miles Of
Trenton, their plantations joining. This
killing Is the result of long and ag
gfavated feud between the two mer
and 1t Is not total surprise that il has
eliminated in such fatal way.
To-day was the appointed time to
have u preliminary hearing before
Trial Justice Bell in regard to a
charge made by Swearingen against
Luther Jones for having burned some
rails, the property of the deceased,
This among other causes engendered
bad blood between the parties. The
two families are closely connected
Mr.. Jones having married sister oi
MIR. Swearingen. 1t is said that none
oil them were on speaking terms and
the two men as we'll Us their families
wore bitterly arrayed against each
other.
This morning tho two men met at
tho Trial JUSTICES Office and Luther
Jones, q son of MIR. B. l.. Jones, re-
sented some charge that Mr.. Swearin-
gen had made against his father, Civ
ing him the lie, to which he paid no
attention. Mr.. Jones was near by and
told Mr.. Swearingcn he would assume
the responsibility of what his son had
said. Thereupon Mr.. Swearingen put
his hand to his hin nDckct and Mr.
Jones repeated several times "pull
her." Immediately both men present
ed their pistols and ut least soven
balls were exchanged. 1t is not known
who fired first. Mr.. Jones had 80
calibre Smith g. Wesson and Mr.
Swearingen II 30. Jones's pistol is q
six shooter and it is believed no
emptied it. Mr.. Swearingcn's pistol
Is a. five shooter and only one ball is
missing.
Trial Justice Bell, acting us coroner,
summoned jury and an examination
of the body showed that Mr.. Swearin-
gen had received four wounds. The
fatal shot struck him just over the
right ear, lodging in the brain.
Another ball hit him in the left breast
and lodged in the shoulder. This was
only flesh wound. The other two
which was necessarily fatal. He lived
only few minutes. Mr.. Jones was
not graZcd.
The coroners jury has returned
verdict in accordance with above facts.
Mr.. Jones has been arrested aud is
now in jail awaiting application for
bail. This Is a most unfortunate Oc-
curence, and is lamented by our entire
people.

But within recent months there has
come In view u strange and phenomenal

pearantly regard all the unfolded adj
vantages of the South In the light of u
new physical discovery, which they
don't seem to know what to do with.
The exuberance of their Joy at finding
themselves in the very midst OF very
good things, takes the direction OF
desiring to give away their great in
heritance to people as far away as can
be found. Actually inviting distant
people to come and disinherit them, to
enter in and gather future liberal
harvests of good things.
Why not instead, stop al! this waste

to our local advantages; draw upon
our own population, for the coming

villages and towns which will extend
the comforts of an improved condition
OF life to those near us. Rather this,
