and said he wanted some moving done.
Foley was ordered to take a. wagon to
the Holmes.building When the wagon
arrived Quiflan glanced around con-
tinually TO see if anyone was looking.
When he thought no one was watching
he would bring something out of the
doorway. When the wagon was
loaded, it contained a long chest, some
old clothing and five or six large bun
dies of old lead pipe. He could not
examine the things on the wagon be-
cause Quinlan did not seem to want
him to look at them and managed to
keep his attention from them. He was
ordered to drive to O'Connor's docks.
Arrived there Quinlan shipped the
things to some point in Michigan, go
ing with them himself.
Chappell in his talks with the police
today brought into the case an accom-
plice of Holmes known to Chappell as
Richardson. The police are now look

aided Holmes in conveying the bodies
to his house and several times re-
manned and helped him (ChappelD to
work at cleaning and wiring the bones.
The brick layer who built the fire box
in the basement was examined again
tonight and says it was the queerest

Holmes told him it was a retort for a

which to put the glass. 1t could, how

The execution of this bold ener-
prise may, of course, be materially
influenced by many unforeseen con-
tngencies; the project is by no means
fantastic one, but has been matur-
ed and cautiously worked out in the
light of science. This is best proved
by the fact that Dr. Elkholm, the
eminent meteorologist, who was in
charge of the Swedish observatory in
Spitzenbergen in 1882 and 1888, has an

A BLOOMER BALL.
1T BRINGS OUT a SERMON BY
MINISTER.
Who is VirtuOus and Prudent
and Possessed of Good Taste.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-Since a
bloomer ball was given in Chicago a
few days ago, preparations have been
made for several functions of the kind
in this city. AS a result the local
clergy are considerably agitated over
the subject, and last night DR.. West
wood Case. of the Howard street
Methodist church, paid his respects to
the bloomer girl and the boomer bah
in the following words: II believeI in
the wheel and in women riding Nhe
wheel. and in her getting rid of a great
deal of unnecessary skirts, but when it
is announced that no woman can at
tend the blOomer ball wearing skirts.
then it is time to put in protest It is
my humble opinion that no woman will
go to the blOomer ball who is virtuOus
and prudent and possessed of taste.
But let nobody quote me as saying that
all who go to that ball are not virtuOus
women. 1 have not said that, but that
they will not be all three of those
things. I say that. in my opinion, as
being just prophecy.
4 believe every respectable woman
will frown upon any such an entertain
fnent. The danger of the boomer craze
lies in the fact that if the public allows
a little latitude in dress there are those
in every community who are disposed
to make it disgraceful.

Another Statement.

PHILADELPHIA, July 29.-Holmes'
attorney gave out another statement
tonight purporting to come from the
arch-conspirator and relating to the
statements made by Charles ChappelI
of Chicago, to the effect that he had
articulated four skeletons for Holmes.
In the first place Holmes declared
that any medical man who failed to
make living by the practice of his
profession adds to the many other
ways by calling into play his scientific
knowledge. Accepting this idea, he
himself, ne said, had resolved to pro-
cure a number of skeletons and when
he found them he concluded that to
deal in the CHASTITY articles would be
a lucrative business. Thereupon he
procured a number of corpses and had
them scraped and articulated, but the
supposition that he had murdered peo-
pie TO obtain them he secuted as non
sense.
L got them in legitimate manner"
he continued, land L am prepared to
prove it when the time comes. There
is not a soul living in Chicago who can
prove that l had anything to do with
the disappearance of this aggregation
of people whose murder l am accused
off,
1t has been learned that the author
tiles in this city have found among
Holmes papers several letters from
Allen, who is in prison in Little Rock,
Ark, duplicating both in illegal trans
actions.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Thanks to
the good offices of T. NJ. johnson, gen
eral manager of the Mexican Central
railroad, the negroes of the Tahulalila
colony, who are making their way
home to the United States from Mex

United States Consul Sparks has teIe-

have quarantined forty-six of the ne
groes at that point, where the consul
had landed them Friday night Tween
ty-five of them are sick in Mexico with
smallpox, eight seriously, and the
local Mexican authorities there have
become alarmed and declare they can
not take care of them any longer. The
remainder of the party who are not
sick, numbering $50, were expected to
reach Piedras Negras yesterday. The
president has also taken steps to re-
Eeve the distress of the colonists. Re

American citizens, he has directed that

SEARCHING THE CASTLE.
Several More Peculiar Discoveries
Made Yesterday.


CHICAGO, July 29.-The search for
traces of the many supposed victims
of H. H. Holmes was resumed at his
castle" today. In the basement, with
it's swinging electric lights, half a
dozen laboreres were kept at work
with pick and spade, while as many
detectives carefully handled every
handful of earth thrown up. The rap
ping of walls and sounding of ceilings
in the search for trap doors and secret
chambers was conducted under the
personal supervision of Inspector Fitz-
patrick, and not an inch of wall or
flooring is being missed. The detect
ives found today two tool chests, in
one of which was a hammer spotted
and stained. 1t was believed by some
of the officers that the spots were
blood stains and an analysis was or
dered.
A number of bones We're found in
the basement today and examined by
Robinson. He pronounced them parts
of a human body. 1t was thought an
entire skeleton had been found, but
examination showed that most Of the
bones were from the butcher shop.
The mixture of human bones and
butcher shop refuse is a popularity of
several finds that puzzle the police
After further examination, the police
decided that the bones are probably
those of Miss Cigrande, the Indian
girl, instead of those of Mrs. Conner.
The skeleton of the latter had been
sold to the Hahn Medical college by
Holmes, the police claim.
At police headquarters, Mrs. Patrick

TO GO BY BALLOON.
SCIENTISTS WHO EXPECT TO DIS
COVER THE NORTH POLE.
4 Scheme That Smacks of jules
Verne, Yet it is Endorsed By
Scientists.

LONDON, July 29.-M. Andre has
scientific society to his balloon project
in search of the North Pole and has
received a liberal donation to help de-
fray expenses from King Oscar, of
Sweden. Sufficient funds nave, in fact,
been obtained, and the attempt is as
sured, but Mr.. Andre naturally desires
the approval of such an authoritative
body as the International Geographical
congress. He explains that NJ. Yon, of
Paris, has entered into contract to
make the machine of double silk, of
which about 5000 cubic metres will be
required, the cost being 1920 sterling
The balloon is to be capable of carry
ing three persons, with the necessary
instruments and ballast. 1t Will be
sufficiently gas tight to hover in the
air for thirty days at a height of $50
metres NJ Andre calculates LOO to
800 cylinders filled with gas under the
pressure of two hundred atmospheres
will be required for the expedition in
order to refill the balloon from time
to time. He believes he will be able to
guide the machine by a system of sails,
acting as a brake if needed The car
is to be spacious enough to contain a
sledge, a sailing boat, several weapons
with ammunition and a Photographic
camera. Early next spring, it is pro-
poposed to erect a balloon house and
after filing the balloon they start
on the aerial voyage for the Pole in
July with a fresh south or nearly
south wind. The duration of the
voyage must, of course, largely de-
pend on the strength of the wind. 1t
might possibly last only five or six
hours, but NJ. Andre expects that it
will take at least over forty. Thirty
days he believes will suffice for cruis-

NEW YORK BREWERS HAVE A
FIGHT ON.
They Propose to Prevent an In
Tax on Beer.

CHICAGO, July pa special to the
Post from New York says:
The brewers are in war paint. Their
fight in Congress next winter to prevent
an increase in the internal revenue tax
on beer will be directed from this city.

TWEEN the east and west on the question,
said Ashrbel Fitch, counsel for the brew
ers, today.
IAN will suffer alike, regardless of the
geographical location and all alike are
interested in defeating the tax. And it

dare take the responsibility of making the
increase.
IF the Republican party in Congress
passes d law to add another dollar a bar

the belief prevailed in quarters very
close to the administration that the pres

the beer tax or at least take some unmis-
taxable means of letting it be known
that he will sign such bill if passed by
Congress, Mr.. Fitch parried by asking if
the administration favored the tax last
winter when the question was pressed
upon Congress. He would not return to

north the country members, it is claimed

secretary of the Army of the Cumber-
