rived here with their staffs on a special
train from Sanatoga park, where they
had been Inspecting the First brigade.

than yesterdady. The routine work of
the camp was diligently carried out,
pending the arrival of Governor Hast

Lawyer How of St. Louis, Could
Supply MiaHtng Information.
Detectives in Detroit.
Philadelphia. July 23 Dlstrlctt At
torney Graham has not as yet formula
ted a definite plan for the prosecution
of II. H. HolnuH, the life Insurance con
spirator and alleged multi-murderer.
In this city or elsewhere. That Holmes
wtfl be at no remote date arraigned
upon the charge of killing one or more
of his alleged victims is without doubt,
and the only hitch In the proceedings
is the uncertainty In determining
whether lw can be tried here or at To
ronto or Chicago with the eafest pos
sibility of securing a conviction.
Today's developments Indicate that
Holmes will not be turned over to tha
Chicago ai'thorltka on the charges of
killing the Williams and Connor women,
but that the case, as viewed from Its
present aspect. Is now safe In the hands
of the legal authorities of Canada, and
bit It Is fair to presume that his con
viction thire can be so-cured. Lawyer
Thomas Fahey, who represents the In
terests of Mrs. Pit tzel in this city, today
received a letter fiom the father of his
client, who In ntrong language states
thatvthere are others In connection with
th mysterious case who should be ar
rested. lie ti.uted that he thought all the con
spirators were not yet known, and hints
that Lawyer Howe, of St. Louis, played
a more Important part In the affair
tha.n I.I48 yet been suspected.
Detective Gcycr Talks.
Detroit, Mich.. July 23. Detective
Geyer, of Philadelphia, gave up his
search for the missing Howard Pietzel
In Detroit this atftenr.oon. Before leav
ing fcr Indianapolis he fald he had
found no positive evidence that Howard
Pietzel ever came to Detroit.
"There Is one thing cerluln," said Mr.
Oeyer. "If Howard Pietzel ever came
to 'Detroit he waa destroyed in the furn
ace at the Forest avenue house, and
the Indestructible portions of his cloth
ing were carried away 'by Holmes."
More of Holmes' Talk.
Philadelphia, July 23. It Is learned on
good authority that Holmes has admit
ted that the Conner woman was tolled
by a criminal operation performed upon
her In Chicago. Beyond the manner of
the woman's death none of the details
could be Ic-amcd.
Chicago, July 23.-our laborers dug all
day today In the cellar of the house
formerly occupied by H. H. Holmes, at
Sixty-third and Wallace streets, und
found little encouragement for their
toll. A etticoat found today had some
discoloration on It which may be Wood,
but which looks like those which would
be made by a piece of rusty iron.
MURDEROUS MAFIA Aft A IX.
The Killing of an Italian and III Wife
Ca uses Louisiana Italians to He Hove the

tions. New Orleans, July 23. Two more hor
rible crimes were perpetrated by an
Italian In the parish of St. James, and
near the scene of the murder of a fam
ily by a Sicilian named Naska. The
latest victims were an Italian and his
wife named Soearo. and the muriWpr
Is supposed to be another Italian.
Trie bodies were found by a negro on
the highway. The negro says he heard
three Bhots fired, and, hurrying for
ward found the woman lying dead,
filled with buckshot. The murderermust
have been close to her, for her dress
was badly powder burned. From
where the woman lav thorp tvn hi.mH
stains on the ground for some distance
to where the body of a dead man was
found with a ghastly buckshot wound
In his back. His shirt was also burned
with powder.
The cause of the crime was evidently
not for robbery, for the bodies were
undisturbed and money was found on
both of them. Tho woman was about
to become a mother. It I believed that
the murders were the work of the
Mafia.

RESTORED BY MESMERISM.
West Virginia Miner Regains Ills Eye
sight After Having Been Blind for
Nearly Four Vcuis-
Charleston, W. Va., July 23 A most
remarkable case Is reported from Mont
gomery, Fayette county, the heart of
the Kanawha coal region. About four
years ago John Carney, a miner, was
stricken blind while at his work In the
mines. The eyes gave no indication of
weakness. They retained their bright
ness, and the muscles showed no sign
of paralysis or weakness. Several spec
ialists of more or less prominence were
consulted, but none of them could do
anything fur the Eighties eyes.
Among tCarney's friends who fre
quently called upon him and talked and
read to him was .Mayor J. C. Montgom
ery. Montgomery had in his early days
Seen several tests of the power of mes
merism, and for the amusement of
private companies had attempted to
exert the mesmeric force upon willing
subjects. Some of these efforts had been
more or lef succensful, but Mr. Mont
gomery had never made particular ef
forts to test bis power. A few weeks
ago he told Carney's wife that he be
lieved Carney had lost the potyer of
sight through some mental change and
not through any physical disability.
The Test Is Successful.
It was decided that Mr. Montgomery
should employ whatever power he had
toward helping the victim to see. Ac
cordingly Montgomery called at Car
ney's house unknown to him, and seat
ed In a room alone. Presently Carney,
as Montgomery and his wife desired,
walked Into the room and lay down on
a couch to take his nap. Montgomery
concentrated his vision on Carney's
Bightless eyes. He then concentrated
his entire force of will upon, a desire
that Carney should see. Presently the
latter, called to his wife and declared
that there was some one In the room.
She said no, whereupon Carney, who
Is a mild-mannered man, flatly contra
dicted her and accused her of trying
to deceive him. He was assured by
others of the family that he had been
alone, but he would not believe them.
All this time Montgomery had been
keeping his attention on his subject,
not allowing the discussion to distract
him.
Presently Carney flew Into a passion,
and declared he would be willing to
die the next minute If he could be per
mitted to see for one second and know
his family were deceiving him. Almost
at the same Instant he shrieked:
"You've lied to me: there's Montgom
ery." The vision had come and he saw
all In the room, and was aMe to de
scribe their positions and clothing.
Although he could not see again after
the first flash, he felt more at ease,
and agreed with Montgomery to con
tinue the test Indefinitely. Every day
Montgomery came to the house and
they spent the time trying to restore
Carney's vision. Carney entered Into
the spirit of it aud placed himself as
nearly as possible under Montgomery's
control. Their work wa successful In
a small way at first, and improved from
day to day, till after two weeks Car
ney was able to see a little, even when
Montgomery was absent. The visits
were continued regularly till yesterday
Carney declared he could see as well as
ever.
