HOLMES, BODY SUPPOSED TO BE
SAFE FROM GRAVE ROBBERS.
A Layer OF Cement Two Feet Laycd About

Mrs. Pletzol Searching For His
Property.

Philadelphia May S.-The body of II. II.
Holmes which was imbcddcd in cement in
a pine box yesterday after the hanging ana
then placed in u vault in Holy Cross ceme-
terry was this afternoon buried in u grave
IL feet deep. Rev. Father McPake, who
was one of Holmes spiritual advisers, con-
Quoted the services at tho grave.
The grave is located in the western part
of the cemetery where single graves arc
sold in consecratcd ground. The box, with
the body imbeddcd in cement, weighs over
a ton, and 1t was too wide to be lowered
into an ordinary grave. Hence Under
taker ORourke selected sufficient space
in the single grave portion of the cemetery
to admit an unusually largo coffin. The
only vehicle strong enough to hold the box
was a wagon used in hauling monuments
and this conveyed the body of Holmes
from the vault to it's last resting place.
When the funeral services wore over the
grave diggcrs. aided by n mason ana under
the supervision Of Lawyer Rotan. piled a
layer OF cement two feet thick upon the
box. The material was packed about the
sides and ends of the novel sarcophagus
and when the work was finished the re-
mains of Holmes were pronounced safe
from grave robbers for all time. His tomb
will he u solid wall of rock.
Lawyer Thomas 4. Fahey. the legal adj
wiser of Mrs. Pitetzel, stated to-day that
he would shortly confer with Lawyer Ro-
tan and District Attorney Graham with
the view OF locating any cash or property
left by Holmes that could be attached in
order to satisfy the claim of Mrs. Pietzel
The latter wants restitution for the insur-

MILE IN 22 SECONDS.
A Nonuplet Being Built to Accomplish
THIS Marvellous Time.

With the introduction OF bankruptcies,
double "quints'' and other cycles of this
type, the question arises, how fast teams
of wel-known record riders can ride II
mile. Racing experts venture different
opinions. 1t has been assorted that a
nonuplet effectively manned is capable
of covering a mile in - seconds. These
conjccturcs are interesting to racing men,
who anticipate some remarkable records
on these big machines this year. The Chi
cago Tribune says:
"A 'nonuplct' wheel is being built, for
which future speed of Il mile in % seconds
Is claimed. When quadruplct could only

1t will last as long as the building add
ing much to the comfort Of the house, and
it will pay for itself many times in the
great saving of fuel. We advise all to use
this grade when they want good results.
1t is only n question of time for some
joints in every house to open, either from
shrinkaGo or decay of the lumber, so that
the paper is not really put to the test
when tho house is new. 1t Is when the
joints begin to open that it is needed.
The paper used should be strong enough
to stand bending around the corners and
windows, and door castings, this Is where
most OF the cold air gets into the house.
and unless tho paper Is good quality and
is carefully put on there is little use in
using it at all.
We carry all kinds, and can please you

NEITHER SIDE SCORED.
East Side and Central Highs Had a
Tug-Of-War

There is joy among the students of
the East side high school and grief
among the Central rooters. 1t is
caused by the result Of the football
game between the two schools yester-
day afternoon. The Central expected
an easy victory and disdained the idea
that they could possibly be defeated.
AS it was the score of 90 was a boom
erang for Prof. Jones prodigies, and
the supporters of the team are scared
over the results of the game with South
side high
The game was remarkable for the ex-
cellent interference of the East siders
and for the fumbling of the Central
boys. Both teams played a hard game
and were nearly evenly matched except
in the last half when the boys from
over the river pushed the ball very
near the Central goal and when they
lost the pig-Skin, the Central boys could
not gain, but had to kick. Central S
men, individually, played better game
than the others, but their center was
weak and the ends repeatedly let their
man get by. The East side boys
showed the result of careful study of
the university practice and have ap-
piled some of the things seen there, to
their own game
The game was one continual repeti-
tion of fumbleS, ball lost on downs and
see-saw back and forth. At no time
was the East side goal in danger, but
on three occasions the ball was on the
Central ten-yard line.

suicide yesterday by shooting himself

rifle. Jade was last seen at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. He carried the
rifle at the time and was going to-
