I New York, May 29.-An investiga- ] tion was begun to-day into the cir. cumstances surrounding the nysteri- ous death of Charles NJ. Holmes, a

 last night. MT Holmes died in the
 lobby of the Hoffman house, where he had been guest, immediately after his return there i'll taxicab from a visit to house ill West For ty-seventh street. He had been taken suddenly i'll during his visit and was hurried back to the hotel before a physician was summoned. After his death the police took into custody Fitzsimmons, the driver of the taxicab, Mrs Clara Moore of 120 West Forty-seventh street, in whose apartment MT Holmes was stricken, Josephine Wells, Mrs Moore's maid, and Frederick Moorehead, elevator man in the apartment house in which Mrs Moore lives. Moorahead and Miss Wells assisted Holmes to the cab which had been called to take him to the hotel.
 Two detectives were standing at the entrance of the Hoffnan house last night when cab dashed up and a gray haired man was helped out and half carried, half dragged to the lobby of the hotel. He was gasping for breath and clutching at his heart as he was taken from the cab. He died a moment afterwards in the hotel lobby after he had been recog- nized by the employees of the hotel, | to whom he was well known through frequent visits. The caDman, who had been detained by the detectives, was taken into custody and accom- panied the detectives to the rorty- seventh street house, where Mrs Moore, and the maid and elevator man were found. MT Holmes's body was given into the custody of cor oner.
 MT Holmes had been at the Hoff- man house since Wednesday,. He had made the hotel his headIuarters on monthly business trips to New York for many years. He was 65 years old. In his pockets when the coroner took possession of his be- longings was found a small Bible well thumbed. Besides this there were gold watch and chsin. lot of business papers and s2i.70 in cash.
 Boston, May 29.-The relatives of Charles H. Holmes, the Boston leather merchant who died suddenly in the Hoffman house last night, stated to-day that every effort would be made to determine the cause of death although they stated that Mir Holmes had experienced several attacks of heart failure dur ing the past few years. Mir Holmes left here yesterday forenoon for business trip to New York and was expected to return to-day. Mrs Holmes, the widow has been in i'll health for some time and to-day was nearly prostrated by the news of the death of her husband. It isl expected that some member of the family will leave for New York to- day and take charge of the body, al- though there may be some delay due to a request on the part of rel atives for an autopsy.
 Mir Holmes has been engaged in leather business in this city for many years and has served on boards of directors of several local banks as we'll as the savings bank in Maiden in which city he made his home.
