been repealed, providing for the proper
construction OF scaffolds, with penalty
attachment. The law will be found and
forwarded to the Commissioners. Whilethe
employers of the unfortunate men Were
unaware of the insecure construction of the
scaffold and while the men themselves may
have constructed the scaffold, still this
can be no excuse for the imperfect con-
struction.
Men are often called upon to work on
scaffolds who have a very imperfect idea
of the strength Of materials aud manner
of erecting scaffolds. With the enforce
ment of law compelling proper construc-
ton, competent and experienced men would
be employed in the erection OF sCaffolds

CARPENTERS COUNCIL.
The meeting OF the Carpenters Council
last Thursday evening was attended by
full delegation.
Owing to the appointment Of new COM
mittees, necessitated by the admittance
of delegates for the ensuing term, the
reports were less numerous than usual
The special committee on the Catholic
University job reported that they had seen
Mr.. Brady, the superintendent, and had
furnished him list of the reputable
builders who are paying the standard rate
of wages in this city. Mr.. Brady, eX-
pressed pleasure and surprise at the number
of names, and stated that the efforts of
the carpenters organizations in endeavor-
ing to raise the wages on the university job
had been politely persistent and deserving
of success. At the same time he must de-
cline to raise the pay of men whohad orked
continuously on the job for less than the
standard rate Of wages and who had not
even intimated that they had desired an
increase of pay.
He further stated that he had neither
respect nor desire to help men who had
not sufficient moral courage to demand
or at least ask for what was justly theirs
The organization committee reported
The Washington times., 1895-06-23

an interview with Mr.. Wagner, of the
Wash ington Baseball Clu b, who had
stated that the entire stand would be
erected by union men irrespective of trades
and that his contract was so wOrded that
no man would be permitted to work on
the same unless he produced clear working
card.
The work of Mr.. Shugrue, corner of Four
teenth and W streets, had been visited by
the committee. Only two union men were
found on the Job. The other eight Were nom
union men. Mr. ShIgrue was informed OF
the state of affairs and he requested the
committee to go with him to the job. On
arriving there he ordered the non-union
men to quit work 4 steward was then ap-
pointed and instructed to demand a card
of every man that went to work.
This committee also visited Mr.. Eiseman,
Seventh and L streets, who intends making
extensive Improvements on his place of busi-
ness Mr. Eiseman informed the committee
that he had already given the contract to
Mr. Corbatt and that gentleman was about
TO sign the contract, when Mr.. Eiseman in
formed him that before signing he would
have to agree to employ union men. Mr.
Corbett had replied that it was all right,
but that he would rather agree to pay union
wages, as that would cover the case. Mr..
Eiseman had, however, insisted on the first
proposition and Mr.. Corbett had signed to
that effect.
Several Jobs were then referred to the COM
mittee for their action during this week. A
committee was also appointed to act with
the Central Labor Day committee.
The last business of the evening was the
formation of a request to the respective
unions, similar to that of the bricklayers, in
reference to the specifications of Mr.. Herman,
which debar all union men from working on
his building.

fractional Fight Ends the Existence OF
the Powerful Chinese Organization.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29.-The fac
tional fight that has been going on for
some time i'll Chinatown between the
See Yup and the Sam Yup families, has
eliminated in the disruption of the Six
Companies, the most powerful organi-
cation ever instituted by the Chinese
III this country.
Minister VIII Try His Hand.
All the efforts of Consul General Lii
Yung Yew and other prominent Chi
nese TO bring about a settlement of the
difference has resulted i'll failure and the
Chinese minister at Washington has an
nounced his intention of coming to San
Francisco and trying his powers as a
peacemaker. The secession of the See
Yups from the Six Companies leaves the
latter with the small end of the organi-
cation and a depleted treasury. The
boycott started by the See Yups has
nearly ruined the Sam Yup merchants,
and, if not ended soon, it will cause the
retirement from business of a large
number of firms. =.
Not Confined to San Francisco.
The boycott is not confined to this
city, but is being extended to every
place in the United States where Chi
nese reside in n number.
This state of affairs has been tele-
graphed to the minister. A few days
ago he informed the Chinese officials
that unless the boycott was declared off
within II days from the date of his tele-
gram he would come TO San Francisco
and take a hand i'll the controversy.
This is understood TO mean that some Of
the leaders may expect to have their
heads Topped off whenever they return
to China unless they comply with the
commands of the minister.

BONES
Remains of Little Howard PietZeI
Found Near indianapolis,
Indiana.
They Were Discovered in a Cot
tage Formerly Occupied by
Holmes.
Coat Belonging to the Boy Left
at a NeighbOring Grocery
Store.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2S.-Indianapolis
will claim the right to try II. H. Holmes
for murder. This claim will be based
upon the horrible developments of
Tuesday, which include the finding of
the charred remains of 9-year-old How
ard Pietzel and evidence which, before
any jury in the country, would convict
Holmes of having murdered him and
then partially burned his body in d
stove.
Detective Geyer of Philadelphia,
Richards of indianapolis and Inspector
Gary of the Fidelity Insurance COM
pany, have been at work for weeks
hunting for traces of the boys body.
He was traced mere with Holmes and
disappeared. The city was secured and
work begun in the suburbs hunting for
a house rented by Holmes about Oct. 10
of last year.
Located a Holmes Cottage.
Tuesday morning the detectives went
to Irvington, a suburb of the city, and
the seat of Butler college, and before
they had been at work an hour their at
tention was called by a local real estate
dealer to a small vacant cottage in the
woods at the edge of the town and far
removed from any other dwelling. In
a few minutes after the officers had en-
tered the cottage they found beneath
the side porch the missing trunk which
was taken from the side porch of the
''circle" house in this city Oct. 10 by H.
H. Holmes, and which was thought to
have contained the body Of the boy. In
a barn connected with the house was a
large stove of the same pattern as
Holmes bought in Cincinnati. He rented
the house under the anne alias. The
stove had been moved from the house
to the stable by the owner of the house
after Holmes left.
Search for the Remains
began, for it was concluded that the
body had been burned in the stove. Late
in the evening attention was called TO
the stove hole where the stove had been.
1t was filled with refuse. This was
pulled and the remains of the boy were
found. Physicians and dentists Were
there, and in this pile of refuse hun
dreds of pieces of charred bones We're
found. The teeth showed hat the body
was that of a boy between s and 10
years of age, and all the other bones con-
firmed this. All were charred and
pieces Of flesh chung to some of them.
The skull, bones and pelvis added to the
same convincing truth. The body had
evidently been
Burned in n Cob Fire
and in the huge stove found III the barn.
Towards overcoat wai found at a gro
Gerry store near by WHERE Holmes had
left it, saying the boy would call for it.
Owners of the house recognize Holmes
from pictures, and several neighbors
distinctly remember him. All identify
him as the man who rented tn9 house
with the same story he told in Toronto
and other places, came with the boy and
the big stove, washstand and bed stayed
two days and then disappeared. Other
developments are expected, and with
this evidence indianapolis will demand
Holmes for trial.

from here, had told her she carried in
suraIce OH her life. Mrs. Lyons left the
German house a week ago Saturday,

band and would be back in a
short time. That was the last seen of
her. Since then Lyon has been after
his wife's trunk several times, but the
police refuse TO give it up. He told
Chief Barnes his wife was in Mime

but could not show the letter. He is
afterwards said to have told different
parties she was in Morris and st. Paul.
Lyon is being held under close surveill-

THEODORE FOX'S SUIT.

File Demurrer.

The Consolidated California and Virginia
Mining Company and its recently elected
board of directors fled demurrer with
Judge Seawell yesterday to the suit Of
Theodore Fox, stakeholder, who asked
the court that the election OF the board,
held October 81, 1895, be set aside and de-
clared null and void, and that g new cleo
ton OF trustees be held.
Charles H. Fish, T. II. Fish, John W.
Twiggs, III. Zadig and Nat r. Messer and
the mining company OF which they are
now trustees are the defendants, and base
their demurrer upon these grounds: That
proceedings to GUST directors must be
brought with the consent of the Attorney
General and in the name of the people OF
the State or of the relative of an aggrleved
person, and not by an individual share
holder; that the section of the Civil Code
under which the suit is brought gives only
some aggrieved person or a corporate body
the right to sue; that, in addition to being
generally ambiguous, the complaint Is de-
fective in not having joined as defendants
any OF the shareholders who authorized
Charles II. Fish to vote their stock at the
annual election of directors, and that the
complaint does not show that any stock
holder was In any way restricted as to the
transfer disposition or voting or his
shares.
Judge Seawell will hear the arguments
on the demurrer this morning.
