By Peter Cigrand. rs to Holmes story
Regarding Miss Cigrand.
Anderson, Ind, July 2S.-Peter Gig
rand. the father of Holmes victim, was
seen again this morning and shown tbs
morning newspapers. He denies very
positively the story given out by Holmes
that Miss Cigrand was a party in the
insurance swindles, and held $4,000
worth of stock in the company. He is
positive of this for many reasons. He
is becoming worked up over the mat
ter. and is liable to give some very good
pointers on the case before long. He
is q man of slow action. and very con-
servative. He says that Holmes and
Phelps gave his daughter a gold watch
and two diamond rings. She said they
we're both very kind to her. The TACT
that they were TO have gone TO Michi-
san to be married. and no point was
given by them. is in his mind conclusive
mat Holmes made sure Of
FRASING EVERY CLUE
Fven though she was married. it would
he imnossible 10 find her marriage rec
ord From the descriptions she gave
in her letters. TO her sister when
he latter was in Chicago on a ten

Pbelps was Pietzel. Another thing that
adds greatly to their discontinue and
makes them believe that the daughter
has been foully dealt with. IS the TACT
that although Miss Phoebe Cigrand was

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
In the Heart of the New York Retail Dis
trict Yesterday.

In the Heart of the New York Retail Dis
trict, Yesterday.
New York. July 2S.-A destructive
fire started in the basement OF the six
story brick building Nos. 10 and q
West Twenty-second street, front ing on
Nos. % and 30r West Twenty-third
street, to-day, and guJted the establish
ments of Scharles Bros. dealers in toys,
and joaquin & Co., dealers in French
millinery. The entire rear portion Of
the structure was badly damaged. The
stock of Scharles Bros. was completely
destroyed and that Of Joaquin & CO..
was so badly damaged by fire and water
that it is likely to prove total loss.
Various Office establishments in the
upper stories of the building suffered
lesser losses. The firemen worked hard
and successfully to save the large estab-
lishments Of Stern Bros, adjoining.
The damage will be in the neighbOrhood
of 100000, the greater portion falling
upon Scharles Bros. and joaquin & Co.
The building owned, by Stern Bros,
was damaged, it was said, to the eX-
tent of $4,000.

SAYS THEY'RE ALIVE.

Chicago July 2S.-A local newspaper
is in receipt of an anonymous letter
which says that Minnie Williams, Mrs
Conner. an unknown man and a little
boy are living on Wabash avenue some
where between FOrty-first and Fifty
second streets. The writer says he is
a friend Of Holmes and that he knows
Minnie Williams and Mrs. Conner well.
He claims to have met them and been
recognized by them last week. He
says he would have given this infOrma-
tion to the police but he fears the treat
ment he would receive at their hands,
and besides does not want newspaper
notoriety. He also says Holmes will
be able to produce Annie Williams at
the proper time.
Inspector Fitzpatrick was to-day put
into possession of facts which weave
closer the web of proof around II. II.
Holmes. and adds another victim to
the already long list. The information
was furnished by Attorney George b..
Chamberlain, general manager Of the
Lafayette Mercantile Agency.
The name was kept frcm the public
the attorney says, to allow the police
to work up further evidence. 1t is be-
Iieved that this is the first victim Of

ANOTHER PROBABLE MURDER
Charged Up to the Account of Holmes-A
Lumber Mans Disappearance

Lumber Mans Disappearance.
Little Rock, Ark, July 2S-It is
probable that John c. Allen. alias John
c. Caldwell, the associate of insurance
swindler H. II. Holmes, who is serving
a fifteen-year sentence in the peniten-
tiary here for horse stealing, may be the
means of fixing upon Holmes the re-
sponsibility for another murder. Sher
iff McRae, of Fort Worth, Texas, who
was in this city last week, had long
talk with Allen, and in their conversa-
tion the disappearance last year OF Mil
ford Cole, a wealthy Baltimorean, was
mentioned Cole came here a year ago
last spring as the representative Of a
Baltimore lumber syndicate. He at
once became prominent in lumber cir
cles, buying a saw mill near Beebe,
north of here, on the Iron Mountain
road, and contracting for the purchase
of @, 900 acres of timber lands in Seth
western Arkansas. In July, 1894, he
spent two weeks at Fort Worth, Texas,
becoming well acquainted with Holmes,
who tried 20 interest him in some busi-
ness enterprises. These facts Cole men,
toned TO friends on his return to Lit
tie Rock About three weeks after
ward he was summoned to Chicago by a
telegram from Holmes, and, so the
story goes, has not been seen or heard
of since. Both Allen and Sheriff Nc
Rae. it is said. recalled Coles assOcia-
tion with Holmes at Fort Worth last
year. and Coles subsequent disappear
ance.

FORTY LIVES

Memphis Tenn, July 2S.-A report
was current in this city tonight that
the large steamer Belle of Memphis, Of
the Anchor Line, bound from st. Louis
TO this city, with about eighty-tive ex-
cursionists on board, sank this evening
about sixty miles north of here and
that forty lives were lost There is no
telegraphic communication with any
point near the river between here and
the scene of the reported disaster, and
as the only two points with which
there is telegraphic connections can
not be raised tonight, the rumor can
not be confirmed or denied The fact
that the rumor cannot be traced TO any
substantial foundation, leads to the be-
lief that it originated among the anx-
ious friends or relatives OF the boats
passengers. many Of whom are from
Memphis. The boat was due here at Z
o'clock this evening, and at 1870 has
nor arrived. On her last trip. how
ever. she made slower time, reaching

This condition Of affairs, it is believed
here, makes the situation much easier
to handle, for with but one tribe of
Indians to deal with the uprising can
be much more easily suppressed. There.
are now four troops of cavalry on their
way to Marysyale and five more will be
at Market Lake tomorrow. which
makes the available force all that it is
hoped will be necessary to quell the

up to that time her testimony had not
been shaken.
The court reassemlbled at 7 o'clock
and during the few moments that had
elapsed before the business of the case
was resumed, Holmes sat in the dock
reading Stephens Digest of the Law
of Evidence"
At 7:10 o'clock Mrs Pitzers trying or
deal was resumed, after she had taken
a liberal dose of medicine from the
trained nurse who accompanied her
and her daughter Dessa. The cross
examination was continued, but devel-
oped nothing to controVert her evidence
in chief.
District Attorney Graham then show
ed her the crayon portrait of Pitzel,
ana she said: Yes. that is good pic
ture of my husband when he left
home"
This concluded Mrs. Pitzeps testi-
mony and at $50 o'clock she gave way
for her daughter, Jeannnet Dessa.
Her testimony was largely corrobo-
rative of that given by her mother
concerning the departure of the chill
dren and the subsequent travels of
Dessa and her mother under Holmes
guidance to the various cities named.
Mrs. Pitzel was recalled and the dis
trict attorney questioned here further
regarding the stay in Burlington.
Down in the Cellar.
During the. second week there, she
said, Holmes took lighted lamp and
went down into the cellar. She thought
she had better follow him and did SO,
but he urged her to return to the up
per floor, fearing that she would catch
cold. The windows in the cellar were
out and Holmes asked for a hammer
and nails, saying he would put them in.
Mr.. Rolan objected to this line of
evidence on the ground Of irrelevance.
Mr.. Graham explained that he pro-
posed TO show that Holmes had dug a
hole in the cellar and covered it up,
as he had done in every case where he
had rented a house.
Judge Arnold sustained the objection
and with this, S:45 o'clock, the court ad-
iourned until tomorrow.
