TWO CHILDREN MISSING,
An Attempt Being Made to Fas-
ten Their Murder Upon
One Holmes.
1t Is Believed He Killed the Little
Ones and Carried the Bodies
In a Trunk.

CINCINNATI. ONO, June 2s.-Detect-
i've Grier of Philadelphia is in the city.
Some time ago a man named Petizel died
in that city leaving $4,000 insurance and
three children. A man named Holmes
got possession of the insurance and went
to Texas, where by speculation he made a
large sum of money. He returned to
Philadelphia. In the meantime one of
the children died and Holmes took the
other two and left Philadelphia. In about
two weeks he returned without the chill
dren.
There was considerable excitement over
the affair, as the supposition was that the
children were murdered. Holmes is known
to have been in this city and he stopped
for several days at the Bristol House, GO
ing subsequently to the Atlantic Hotel.
While here he registered under. the name
of Cook. He had big trunk with holes
bored in it and ne kept close watch on
it. The suppositionis that the children
were kept in tlsss trunk. He went to
Detroit from this city.
The theory of the officers Is that he MUIR
.dered the children here and then took the
bodies to Detroit and got rid OF them. He
is under arrest at Philadelphia on charge
of conspiracy. and an attempt is being
made to fix the murder of the children on
him.

yer. The two questions of silver and pro-
lection are intertwined with each other,
and will go up or down to-
gether. The greedy and covetous
idea prevailing in some quarters in the
East that this country is to be dwarfed to
a gold basis and that the next Republican
Congress will revise and increase the tariff
for the manufacturers articles and not for
the products of the West will be short
lived. For the prosperity of this country
is not going to be withered down TO a gold
basis, and the new tariff will take fully as
good care, of the Western miner and the
Western farmer as of the Eastern manu-
facturer.
"We Western people are broad and good
natured and long suffering, but the next
time the interests of the West. as well
as these of the East, must be taken
care of in all legislation both on silver and
protection. We are with you for a Republi-
can President and Republican Congress,
but we want both to be of the sort of Re-
publicanism that will guard as fully our
interests as yours. We are going to make
the whole fight under the Republican flag,
and we are sure we will win both in the
National convention and at the polls. You
will need our help to revise and increase
the tariff, and we will get your help to re-
store silver"

had been Influenced by coarse, ignorant
woman, servant in the Dwyer family. 1t
was said that she abetted the writing and
sending of the letters. What motive insti-
gated this servant, if that part of the story
is true, other than deprayed instinct
cannot be guessed. AT the first suspicion
of trouble she fed, and so her whereabouts
is not known to Mr.. and Mrs. Dwyer.
Inspector Comstock has warrant for her
arrest, and he believes that she can be
located.
There was nothing for Comstock to
do but to take Miss Dwyer before United
States Commissioner Shields. Examina-
ton was waived, and Sadie was held in
$1,000 bail to await the action of the Grand
Jury. A bond for that amount was fur
nished by Dwyer. When Sadie was
arraigned before the Commissioner sor-
rowful scene was enacted. The girl re-
allied the shame her actions had brought
upon her and sobbed pitifully while In
spector Comstock briefly told the story,
not going into details. Mr.. Dwyer, the
grandfather, seemed heartbroken at the
position of his granddaughter, who had
been so dear to him, and his old eyes filled
with tears as he signed the bond releasing
her from custody. Dwyer is wealthy
man and respected citizen of Rockland
Lake, and the disgrace weighs heavily upon
him.
