HUMAN BONES.
Grave Found Near Murderer Holmes
 House at Wilmette, H.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-In the dense woods between North Evanston and Wilmette, a grave has been found full of human bones. The discovery was made by A. H. Parker, of Evanston, who, with his wife, has been making frequent excursions into the wood during the last two months. Mrs. Parker some weeks ago declared the place was a grave and urger her llus- band to investigate it. He at first re- fused, but finally consented, just to show his wife that she knew nothing about graves He dug long enough to turn up few ribs and a thigh bone. and then called on the police for help This afternoon several bones and a skull, supposed from Its size to be that of a woman, were found. The investi- gation was stopped by darkness, but will be resumed tomorrow. The spot Is only few rods from the house in which H. H. Holmes lived at Wilmette, and 1t is thought by the police that the bones may be those of some of his vic tims. The bones had evidently been inferred within two years, and were apparently placed in the grave with out a coffin. No clothing Of any sort was found. From the sizes of the bones, 1t is thought they must be from several people.

Striking Miners Blow Up
 a Mine.
A Fight Which Resulted in
 Three Killed.
Troops Are Ordered to the Spot and the City Is SWarming with
 Armed Men.

LEADVILLE, Sept. 21.-The bloody phase of the miners strike has come Three men are dead, two others dying and the Coronado shaft house and four dwellings are burned to the ground as 6 result of an attack of strikers on the Coronado and Emmet mines early this morning. Over hundred shots were fired during the desperate fight The members of the attacking party are as yet unknown,
 The two men killed at Coronado mine were leaders of the attacking party who were shot by tine Coronado guard They were found this morning in a cabin near the mine where at first 1t was supposed they had been taken by the miners of Coronado Mahoney died today Okeefe will soon die. About the same time Coronado was fired a man of the Maid of Erin dis covered and put out a fire. Near by was enough giant powder to blow up all the buildings on the mine
 Quiet prevails here now and no fur ther rioting ds anticipated. It is gen. erally believed the men who fired the Coronado shaft house this morning and who attacked the Emmett mine, but were repulsed, have fled to the mountains and will be seen no more. They are said to be miners from the Couer d'Alene country, who were en- gagged in riots there several years ago. It looks as if the backbone of the strike was broken and the outbreak of violence this morning the final dem onstration of the 1awless element
 Two hundred of tine miners say they will go to work at once. They bitterly denounce the extremists and say their actions lost the miners the strike. The arrival of the militia is anxiously awaited, despite the apparent calm Local companies have been sent to the hills and armed citizens afe patrolling the streets. The city council today de cfded to aid the state officers in appre- hending the rioters. At a mass meet ing this afternoon the lawless element will be denounced and it will be de manded that all troublesome men leave the camp.

Election Outcome Cuts

The Manufacturing Business
 Looming Up.
New England Mills Cannot Be Longer Held Under Curtailment by
 the ArkWright Club.

FALL RIVER, Sept. 01.-The only mills now closed here are the Cornell, Fall River, Flint, King Phillip, Mer- chants and 2, Metacomet, Robeson, SagamWe No. 1, Troy, Wampanoag, Weetamoe. These are included under eleven corporations. The mills of twenty mine are running, the largest number since the first of July Within the past few days the feeling has be- come very strong here that no mills will remain closed much longer. Printing cloth has advanced one-quar- ter of @ cent per yard from it's lowest point. While tGnis increase has not been in keeping with the sharp rise in cotton, nevertheless mill men feel that it will not go back again for some time at least.
 Just at this moment the mills are in what is termed the "mid- -jobbnig" season, and if there is any strong de- mand to reduce stock within the next four weeks it is morally certain the mills will run along during the winter, regardless of any hopes manufacturers may have as to jhe outcome of the elections.
 This much has been settled beyond dispute rthere will be no further unit ed curtailment this year by New Eng land mills under the guidance of mem bers of the Arkwright club. Mills here and elsewhere throughout New England have exceeded the four weeks idle period which all agreed to enter, and it would not be possible to again secure this year a signed agree ment to cllrtail the production still further
 AdWces received here are to the effect that the mills of Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, are starting up again after the sum- mer's long rest. It is reasonably cer- tadn tlhat some of them wil not be closed until after the holidays. l Secretary RQunseville of the Cotton i Manufacturers association, who was largely instrumental in bringing about the united curtailment throughot New England, expressed the hope this afternoon that there would be general resumption of operations within a few weeks. There is no money in the business now, but [he looks for lower prices of cotton and higher prices for goods before ithe middle of next month. His views are about the same as are held by many other local miM men. It was reported in mill circles this afternoon that all the Knights mills in Rhode Island would continue run ming full time, until the holidays at least. Similar reports about north eastern Connecticut mills arc also heard.
 Secretary Howard of the Mule Spin ners' union says of the outlook for trade: q do not expect to see busi- ness improve before October perma- nently. It has been the history for the past twenty-four years for sum- mer depressions to be followed by per manent reactions not later than No vember. I think it will be so this year. It was in 1878 and in 1886, also upon two other dates that I do not recall eNactly.''

SEARCHLIGHT EVADED.
The Torpedo Boat Cushing Encom- compasses the Massachusetts.

NEWPORT, Sept 21.-If the fight in the harbor between the battieship Massachusetts and the torpedo boat Cushing had been real one, the three million dollar fighting machine would be on the bottom of Narra agansett bay. Twice the little Cushing evaded the searchlights on the bahtleship and reached the point where torpedo could have been successfully deliv- cred.
 The Cushing started from the tor pedo station shortly before o'clock and after a short run up the bay, came down under the Jamestown shore. For half an hour previously the three search1ights on the battleship had been playing about the bay in a vain attempt to detect the Cushing. Sud- denly at 8:10 the Cushing was seen coming at full speed from the James town shore and a red rocket was at once fired from the Massa chusetts. At 1000 yards of, but in the one and e-quarter minutes she ran up with in 400 yards Of the Massachusetts and sent up her three green rockets, sig nifying that the big battleship had been successfully torpedoed.
 The Cushing then steamed off up the bay again, but came down inside the torTrdo sta,io1. and at S:28 o'clock mode anodher dash for the battleship coming out from behind the break water, and before the time allowed eX- pired, the Cushing was alongside. The Massa afusetts was in command o1 Captain ohm Rodgers.

PREACHER WITH THREE.
Liked One Wife sofWell That He Kept
 on Trying.

KNOXVILLE, Iowa, Sept. 21.-The Methodist conference has been in ses- sion during the week with Bishop Nu- man presiding. The fact has devel- oped that one of the eolored ministers by the name of G. w. Beaman, under the charge of this conference, has too many wives, having three living and undivorced at the present time. The last one he married at Keokuk on the 7th of this month.
 It seems that he receives $60 from the conference to assist in his annual pay, and came (here and received his $60 at the hands of the bishop. The facts in this case came to light after Rev. Mir. Beaman had started on foot across the country; but he was captured at Pleas antville and was brought back and lodged in jail He confessed his crime to the bishop, returned the $60 and received his removal from further ser vice in the church. MT. Beaman' s home is in Springfield H., and he was first married to a girl in Minneapolis in 1889.

FATAL FUMES.
Gasoline Iflllallecattion Causes the Death
 of Two Children.

EoNNE2 STRINGS, Kan, Sept. 21. At 4 o'clock this afternoon Hasley Pettit, the 4-year-old son of A. w. Pettit, druggist, and Charley Waters, 3-year-old son of J. D. Waters, were found in Mr. Pettit's cellar, lying on their faces, almost dead. Standing near was five gallon gasoline can, almost empty, while the clothing of the children and cellar floor were sat- urated with the fluid Medical aid was hurriedly summoned, but the children were past all hope of recovery. There were no evidences of an explosion, and the supposition is that the two chill dren had been playing with the can of bil, had upset it, and in trying to right matters were overcome by the fumes and fell to the floor in the position they were found lying in the fluid. Their bodies were terribly blistered, as if by terrible burns. It is said there are few cases on record where gaso- line inhalation has caused death.

A Poll of Missouri Shows That Will

ST. LOUIS, Sept 21.-The poll of Missouri by the Democratic state cen tral committee is nearly completed. Secretary Love made an unofficial ad- vance report yesterday. He said: "We find from the reports by school districts that there is very little de- fection among the Democrats of the interior, and that the Republicans are going to lose a great many votes. Nearly every report that comes to us shows a number of wavering Republi- cans. From what we have learned since the canvass began. we are in- clined to believe that the state will give Bryan a majority of nearly TO- O0O."

COWS CUT UP.
Chase a Woman Up Stairs and Wreck
 Dry Goods Store.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Mrs. George Baker of South street, Greenpoint, L. l., had a lively experience yesterday with COW owned by Moritz Karlin, of Center street. Mrs. Baker was on her way to her husband when she saw the COW, chased by a crowd of children, coming in her direction.
 Believing she would be knocked down by the animal, she ran back to her house. When she reached her door she ran up the stairs, followed by the frightened COW, which was fol- lowed by the children. Mrs. Baker got inside her door just as the COW reached the top of the stairs. Her husband learned of her predicament, and, coming to her assistance, got the animal down stairs.
 An amusing and exciting incident occurred at noon just as the Fifth Re publican congressional district con- ventin took a recess in Paterson, N. J. A forlorn COW on dts way to slaughter behind butchers wagon, became frightened at sight of the poli- ticians as they emerged from the hall, and, breaking from its fastenings, plunged into the dry goods store of H. Meyer, on Main avenue
 The glass door, showcases and mir rons were smashed and dry goods scat tered everywhere before the delegates who felt responsible, came on in num- brs and captured the frantic animal.
 There were number of women in the store when the COW made its sudden entry, and they were very much fright ened.

The Candidates on the
 Stage.
Bryan in Oratory, Mckinley
 Mute and Pleading.
Tim Murphy the InimitabIe Person ator Represents the Two
 Great Men.

The New York Journal says: At a certain point in the programme of the Standard theater a smile nipples through the audience, Tim Murphy is on the stage. impersonating we'll known characters, and the smile is caused by the announcement of a pla- card hhat his next imitation will rep resent first Bryan and then Mckinley in bursts of eloquence
 After several moments the curtain is drawn aside and the audience beholds William Jennings Bryan, al la Tim Murphy, gazing earnestly into the faces before him. The likeness is rather good, except that it credits the candidate with more hair than he pos tsesses makes him look blacker and gives him the general appearance of an Italian bandit
 Suddenly he bursts into oratory and recites, with forceful delivery, the closing para graph of Mir Bryan's fla nous Chicago speech, ending with a reference to the crown of thorns and the cross of gold ''Then the cur tadn falls and the audience applauds, for the imitation was exceedingly clever In a twinkling the curtain rises again, and, 10! Mckinley stands before the audience
 The transformation was as simple as it was rapid. Murphy has placed a Napo1eonic chapeau on his h-fad, but toned his frock coat and drawn down the corners of his mouth. The audi euce laughed He stood with folded arms and bowed head in the famous attitude of the Little Emperor of the Bellerophon. He raised his heal and opened his mouth Gs if lla W.2re ahout to speak. Then he paused, looked thoughtful for a moment and scratched his chin. He looked toward the wiil s end gazed appealingly at some imagi- mary person who was standing there. Whatever he saw in that imaginary persons face must have been dis colrag ging, for, pointing ito the audi ence, he turned to the wings again and by wonderful pantomime, asked
 Please let me speak! Why, can't I say something?''
 But the maginary person was ob- durate, and with pitiful shrug of his shoulders, Major Mckinley turned and faced the audience. He looked at them long and sorrowfully, hike an unhappy animal that yearned to talk burt could not Then, with a sigh oi resignation, he folded his arms, bowed his head and fell into the attitude ot Napoleon on the Bellerophon again Then the curtain fell and the audience howled with Laughter.

Men were detailed to follow the vans on bicycles, others rode on the roofs of the baggage cars and watched the clerks, and it was at last decided that the work was done in a little brick building in the Union depot at Detroit, where the mail is transferred. Lara way, a Canadian, worked there at night, but could not be watched, as there was but one door and no window. A special com pertinent was built, ad- joining, but proved impraoticable. At last a tunnel under the building was made and the dispatch announcing the capture of Laraway in the very act of cutting open sack proves how sue cessful this plan was.
