    ACHAMBBROFHORRURS
Four People Cruelly Put
To Death.
Unmistakable Evidence of Murder
Discovered at Holmes' Castle—Skel
etons of His Supposed Victims
Found—One of the Bodies Traced
to Philadelphia.
Chicago, July 60.—Another startling
discovery reported by the police is the
finding of a woman's footprint on the
inside door of the blind vault on the
third floor of the building, Although
the vault had been carefully examined
on previous occasions tho footprint was
not found until Saturday. Up to that
time the police had been entirely at a
loss to attribute any object for the con
struction of the vault arrangement
other than that advanced by conjecture.
Now it is believed by the police that
Holmes' victims, or some of them, were
inveigled into the vault between the
two sets of doors and there they were
smothered to death.
Unmistakable evidence of murder at
the Holmes castle in Englewood has
have been placed in the hands of In
spector Fitzpatrick. That at leaset four
people have been cruelly murdered in
this chamber of horrors is now a practi
cal certainty. The skeleton of one of ,
Holmes' victims, supposedly that Mrs
Julia Connors, is now in the inspector's
office in the city hall. Two other skele
tons which camo from the same place
will be placed in his possession to-day.
A fourth body has been traced to Phila
delphia and its receipient there will be no
doubt be discovered in the course of a
few days. The man who produced this
startling evidence was closeted with the
inspector and detectives Norton and
Fitzpatrick last night. Tho inspector
declines to make his name known at
present for the reason that it would
handicap his further investigations.
Aurora, 111., July 20.—Albert Phil
lips, of this city, father of Clarence
Phillips who conducted a restaurant in
Holmes' building on Sixty-third street
during tho World's fair is confident that
Holmes is responsible for the disappear
ance of still another victim than those
so far known. Her name was Mrs. Lee.
Albert Phillips for several mouths as
sisted his son Clarence in conducting his
restaurant and became well acquainted
with Holmes during that time. Yester
day he said to a reporter: "The revela
tions in tho case of Holmes make clear
to me the mystery of the disappearance
of Mrs. Lee while I was at the restaur
ant. She went out of sight as complete- [
ly and mysteriously as though she had
fallen off the earth, and my son and 1
were greatly puzzled over it at the time.
Mrs. Lee came to the place while I
was there. She was a handsome bru
nette, tall and stately, and well dressed.
She of: en displayed bank notes of large
denominations, claimed to be worth
$50,006 and said that her husband and
two children had died two years before.
I wondered why a woman of her means
should be content with the accommoda
tions of our plate, and finally made up
my mind it was for the society of
Holmes. I often spoce with her while
serving her at the table and found her
ugreeable and intelligent. One day she
was missing. Wo never know where or
how she went.
Keokuk, lowa, July 29.—George j
Bowman, a brick layer who resided in
Keokuk for several years past, told the
Keokuk police last night he was in
Chicago in 1889 and helped build the
Holmes house in which the recent finds ;
were made. More trusted employes did
the chief work on the basement. Holmes
had a brother-in-law according to Bow
man whom he wanted out of the way,
and one day he said to Bowman: "Drop
a stone on that man's head and I will
give you $50." Bowman says near the
House was a high sidewalk under which
Holmes frequently dug holes in which
he mysteriously buried stuff.
Cincinnati, July 29. Detective Geior.
who is handling the Philadelphia end of
the Holmes murder mystery, telegraphed
late Friday night to Chief of Police ;
Deitson to search the house on Poplar
street which Holmes occupied while
hero. Geier while in < 'incinnati several
weeks ago made a cursory examination, j
but found nothing. Yesterday Detec
tives Schnucks and Hulmer were sent
to 505 Poplar street and thoroughly
searched the building. The garden and
cellar were dug up, closets examined,
floors removed and chimneys looked
into but nothing whatever was foun l.

HOLMES' CRIMES.
More Discoveries—Police Trying To
Force Qi iuluu To Confess.
Chicago, July 30.—The hzge brick
vault underneath Holmes'charnel house
was unearthed yesterday. The existence
of this vault had been entirely theoretical
before this. Many rumors of such a re
ceptacle have been circulated, but it
was not until the police discovered Ma
chinist Cappell that they succeded in
gaining any idea of tho location of the
vault. The police theory is that Holmes
used this vault for quickliming his vic
tims' bodies and getting them into such
u condition that they could not possibly
be identified and that Cappell, the ar
ticulator, would not susjK'ct that the
bodies were anything more than cadav
ers secured at soino medical college,
morgue or hospital. While the police
are not hopeful of discovering bodies of
murdered people in the vault they are
at tho same time hopeful of securing
evidence to fully establish just what the
vault was used for. There is on exhi
bition in Inspector Fitzpatriek's private
office the skeleton and trunk that con
tained it which was found through tho
advice given the police by Cappell. Tho
skeleton is that or a woman or about 25
years of age, and the police think it is
all that remains of one of the Williams
girls or Emeline Cigrund. Almost every
new development lands Janitor Quin
lan more fairly in the police net, much
to their satisfaction. They know ho is
unwilling to tell all he knows and are
anxious to secure evidence to force a
confession from him in order to fasten
the crimes upon Holmes securely.
WORKING FOR MARIA.

INDUI. OPERATION
A Little Boy's Endurance
Under the Scalpel.
Successfully Operated Upon for Ap
pendicitis and Peritonitis—A For
eign Substance Removed from the
Appendix May Be Mistaken lor
Stomach Ache.
Now York, July 27.—A very unusual
ami remarkable operation for appen
dicitis and peritonitis lias just recently
been performed in this city and proves
to have been successful in every way as
the patient is convalescent. The patient
is Willie Sekulter, who lives with his
parents at 887 West Seventeenth street. 1
The case is remarkable on account of
the age of the patient, who is only six
years old, and because the primary trou
ble, appendicitis, was so far advanced
and rapidly progressing that perforative
and active peritonitis had set in.
Treated for Stomach Ache.
On the 10th of this month Willie was
taken on a Sunday school excursion by
his mother, and while aboard the boat
was taken ill with vomiting, and was i
promptly treated for seasickness. He
continued ill after reaching home and
was dosed with household remedies for
stomach ache. He was sick all night
and the next day, and in the evening of
the 11th Dr. Albert Sliunk of West
Twenty-second street was sent for. He
immediately diagnosed the caso as ap
pendicitis and the next morning found
the patient worse and generating peri
tonitis. There was a lump and great
pain at the right side of the abdoftiinal
region.
An Operation Performed.
The doctor advised an operation and
performed it at 2 o'clock in the after
noon. The boy's right side was opened
and a quantity of pus was found. The
intestines were pushed aside till the
veriform appendix was reached. The
appendix was kinked up peculiarly, the
first half running up and the second
half down, almost at right angles. The
last half was putrid. In tLe bend in
the appendix, just before the putrid part
j began, was found some foreign substance
similar to a cherry stone. The api>eu
; dix was cut off close to the intestines,
the cavity was cleaned out, a drain was
left in and the wound sewed up.
His Pulse Reached 144.
I The operation required only 45 min
utes from tlm time the boy began to
take ether till ho was returned to his
bed. Great haste was necessary as the
pulse was 144 and weak and feeble when
the patient was put on the operation ta
ble. The vermiform appendix was un
, usually large for one in so young a i
child, being about two and a half inches
long. Wijjio is out of danger, notwith
standing that he had a hard time of it
for ten days after the oper.ition. Dur
ing that time ho suffered from very ac
tive peritonitis and was given up a num
j her of times by the nurse in attendance
i and by the family. When seen last
night by a reporter ho was sleeping
peacefully and looked the picture of
j health.
More Common Among Children. j
i Successful operations for appendicitis
and peritonitis so far advanced in one so
| young are extremely rare, if there are
j any at all on record. It is said by medi
' cal men that appendicitis is more com
| mon in children than is generally
: thought. At this season of the year j
: there is much cholera morbus, the
symptoms of which at tho start are al
most exactly the same as those of
appendicitis. The afflicted child is
j treated by its parents, as they think the j
illness nothing unusual, until the delay I
has le<n so great that when the doctor ;
is called it is too late as a rule to operate |
successfully if the case is one of uppon-
I dicitis.

I Washington. July 27.—One of the first
j matters of public interest to engross I
i President Cleveland's attention after his
I return to Washington in October next
j will bo a consideration of the dispute be
tween the kingdom of Italy ami the re
public of Colombia, growing out of
damages sustained by a subject of the
; former country during a revolution in
j Columbia in 1885. The amount of the
, claim is between $600,000 and $700,000. j
! A voluminous correspondence has
' passed between the foreign offices of the !
| two countries without any resulting j
agreement. It was finally suggested by
Colombia that the dispute be referred to
President Cleveland for arbitration. '
I The Italian government at once agreed
; to the proposition and a protoeal was
; shortly afterward signed. President
; Cleveland was asked in February last |
i if ho would fill the role of arbitrator,
and after due consideration he gave his
; consent.

PRINCETON STUDENTS BACK. 1
Three of Them Arrived in Built
more Saturday Night,
i Baltimore, July 29.—John W. Gar
rett, of this city; E. E. Otherman, of
New York, and L. P. Pease, of German
town, Pa., members of the Princeton
college geological expedition that was
thought to be annihilated by the 111-
1 dians, arrived here Saturday night. Mr.
Garrett says the expedition consisted of
twelve Princeton men and seven drivers
and attendants. "We left Dubois,
Wyoming, just two weeks ago for Yel
low lake," he said. "By the route
wo took tho trip was expected to
take five days, but it required nine,
and provisions ran rather short. We
named tho route the Princeton trail, as
it was heretofore unnamed. We crossed
a recently traveled Indian trail, evi
dently made ™i>y the band of Lemhis
who had gone to join tho Bannocks.
Later we came across a small party of
Shoshones and camped with them one
night. They seemed to be in a bad hu
mor, but did not tell us that they were
on the war path. Wo passed within
sight of Jacksons Hole. From what we
heard the Indians had more reason to be
afraid of the settlers than the latter had
to be afraid of the Indians. The im
pression prevailed that the white people
were very anxious to fight the redskins, j
THE PRESIDENT'S LAUNCH.
It Has Taken to Buzzard's Bay ly E.
C. Benedict's Oneida.
Buzzard,s Bay, Mass.. July 80.—The
ste i m yacht Oneida with her owner, E.
C. Benedict, the intimate friend of Presi
dent Cleveland, on board, arrived here ;
late yesterday. She brought on her
dock a pretty little naphtha launch,
which lias been built expressly for Mr.
Cleveland's use about Buzzard's Bay.
It is very neat and graceful, 85 feet
long and 9 feet beam. The president,
with other owners of sailing craft along
the bay. has often been the victim of the !
weather on his numerous fishing trips.
It has frequently happened that ho has
been becalmed down the bay and suf
fered much inconvenience and loss of
patience on account of it. The naphtha
launch is intended to replace the cat
boat Ruth on more lengthy fishing i
trips.

i flCfll FIGHTING
Both Sides at Jacksons Hole
Are Ready, However.
Settlers Entrenched and tho In
diums in the Ilills and Canons—
One Man Says Ho Experienced No
Difficulty in Coming Out and That
tho Reds Seemed Peaceful.
Market Lake, Idaho, July 80 (by
courier from Sergeant's Lodge).—The
fires thought to be signal fires are in
reality only crest fires which the rainy
have now extinguished. Tho settlers
are very greatly excited and many have
deserted their homes fearing an out
break. The first man actually known to
have come through Jacksons Hole is
.1, S. Barry. He said that the Indians
aro not visible and that nobody has been
harmed since the first shooting on the
day of the Indian break for liberty. The
I settlers are, however, still entrenched,
and tile Indians in the hills and canons
are behaving in such away as to imply
that they are ready to respond to every
act. Barry saw no Indiaus on his way
through the most dangerous part of tho
journey. He said, however, that the
man who wanted an Indian fight could
get it.
Believes There Is No Danger.
Last night several Jacksons Hole
exiles came into camp from Cunning
ham's camp, twenty-six miles north of
Marys vale and in the heart of the war
country. Cunningham says the settlers j
have had a number of scouts out, three
having rep<nted numerous Indian camps,
but that all seems to bo peaceful. He
experienced no difficulty in coming out,
he having started ut (5.80 Friday even
ing. Altogether his idea is that there 1
lis no violent danger. Several of Agent
'Peters' Indian police have joined the
command.
Movements of Indians.
Suit Lake, Utah, July 80.—It is re- |
I ported that a few Indians are returning ;
to the Bannock reservation from Jack- :
j sons Hole, but much larger numbers
are pouring in than leaving. Tourist
parties have stopped at Teton basin be- j
cause it is unsafe to enVr the Jackson
Hole country. At 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon tho special train bringing
transportation facilities for the infantry .
in their march across the country ar- m
rived at Market Lake. Two hundred
and fifty men of the Seventeenth in
fantry left Market Lake for Jackson's
. Hole last night, but owing to therough
; ness of the road it will take them longer
■ than was expected to complete the
march of over a hundred miles. Arri- ;
vals from Soda springs this morning re- j
port tho Indians are leaving the Hole by j
the way of Gray's lake and Soda springs
; over the old Lander trail.
Whites Building Rifle Pits.
When the soldiers reach Jacksons j
Hole there will probably not be an Indian
iin sight. The Indians are watching all
| passes going in from the St. Anthony i
I side. At least 200 Indians claiming to !
! be Lemhi's have crossed the river seven
miles above St. Anthony within the last j
j week. No squaws were with the last |
parties, but they are taking
j many horses with them. Settlements '
i are becoming alarmed and aro making I
i preparations to organize companies. A
: number of men are going in via Teton
| basin to assist the whites who are mak
ing rifle pits at different points.
May Hold Off tho Reds.
Indians passing will give no informa
tion further than that they are going
way up. One family of settlors came i
out of the Hole Friday evening and say
no others will be able to get out with- i
•ut assistance unless the soldiers ar
rive soon. The people in the Teton j
basin aro reinforcing the settlers of tho !
Hole and may hold off the reds until the
arrival of tho troops.
They Appeared in Bad Humor.

Pease, who passed within sight of Jack- !
sons Hi>le a row days ago with the Prince- I
ton Geological expediiion, of which he j
was a member, arrived home yesterday. !
The party left Dubois, Wyoming, two 1
weeks ago for Yellow lake, and spent
nine days on tho journey. Tliey crossed j
a recently traveled Indian trail on the
way. which had evidently been made by j
the band of Lemhis who had gono to !
join the Bannocks. Further on they
fell in with a party of Shoshones, and j
camped one night with them. These In- !
dians did not make any threats against j
the settlers in Jackson's Hole or tho
surrounding country, but they appeared
to be in a bail humor. George Washakie,
a son of the chief of the Shoshones, was
j in the band.
Within Sight of Jacksons Hole.
The Indians did not molest the Prince- j
ton men and when morning came tho !
pale-faces and the red men parted peace- !
ably. Subsequently the geological ex
pedition passed within sight of Jacksons j
Hole anil on the ninth day of their jour
ney arrived at Yellow lake. Last
Wednesday Air. Pease. JolinW. Garrett ;
of Baltimore and E. R. Otheranan left
the expedition, which is now in Yellow
stone park, and started home. Judging i
from what they heard them say the In
dians have more reason to ho afraid of
the settlers that the letters have to fear
the redskins. It seemed to be the gen
eral opinion that the white people wore j
very anxious to fight the Indians. The
party were well armed and prepared for
a fight but they did not know of any
danger until their arrival at Cooke
City, where they received telegrams in
forming them of tho Bannock trouble.
It Is aVt al<l Spot.
Regarding tho Mary Mere ranch, to
wliieu troops have been sent for pro
tection against th" Indians, acc rdiug to
a dispatch from Market Lake, Idaho,
Mr. Pease said: "The Mary Mere ranch
.is situated in a wild and mountainous
region fifty miles south of tho troops
that are at present stationed in Yellow
si one park, and ism my miles from any
other habitation. If the Indians are
Hearing this ranch, and it. is threatened,
it wo ill prove conclusively that they are
rapidly moving northward, as fifty miles
represents a great distance in that wild
and almost impassable region. From |
former reports it was apparent that tho |
marauding tribes bail not moved far j
north of Jackson Hole country."
