New Victims of this Fiend are Heine Daily Discovered. Chicago, July 25. The Holmes char- nel house yielded new horrors to-day. Several morelxmes and a small piece of dress goods have been found there.

The discovery was made when the search was resumed in the basement of the Holmes' premises this morning. One of the bones found was a shoulder blade, evidently that of an adult, while the other, a socket bone, was smaller and appeared to be that of a child. The police by the discovery to-day, were confirmed in their belief that the skeletons being uncovered are those of the missing, Mrs. Connor and her daughter Pearl. Mrs.

Patrick Qainlan, wife of Holmes' ex-janitor was found by the police and given a severe cross-examination. She had been reported as missing, but de clared that she had made no attempt to hide herself. What evidence she was able to give against Holmes, the police refused to say, and Mrs. Quinlan had evidently been instructed by the detec tives to maintain strict silence regarding the case. The story that Quintan's 11 year-old daughter had been murdered by Holmes was disposed of to-day when Mrs.

W. I Doyle called at the police headquarters and declared that the girl was with her father's parents ten miles from South Haven, Mich. Mrs. Doyle said that her mother owned the house in Toronto in which the bodies of the Pietzel children were found. It is evident that through Mrs.

Doyle the police have learned of another of Holmes' alleged victims who had not heretofore been heard of. In talking to a reporter, Mrs. Doyle said that one of the prettiest of the women woo ever came under Holmes' influence is also missing. "Her name was Miss Oigrand, and she was originally from Indiana," said Mrs. Doyle, and she was on the point of giv ing further information when the police curtly ordered her to cease talking, and ended the interview.

Holmes Wanted ia Toronto. Toronto, Ont, JuW 25. The verdict of the coroner's Jury in the case of the Pietzel children, was laid before the Attorney General to-day, and proceedings for the extradition of Holmes will be taken at once. Every effort will be made to have Holmes tried in this dty. It is thought here that Toronto's claim will have precedence with" Philadelphia authorities over those of Chicago.

OFFICIALS ARM HOT SURPRUED The Snaaish Commander DM Right to Fire Into the Seheeaer Laae. Washthgton, D. Jury 25. The reported firing on the Carrie. Lane, an American schooner, by the Spanish' cruiser off the Cuban coast, lis not yet been reported officially to the State Department, and, in the absence of a definite statement of fact, -the officials decline to express an opinion on the sub- ject.

The important point to be established in this case is the exact location of the Lane when she was signalled to stop. The Captain's statement is that this was off Cape Antonio, but he does not say whether or not he was within the three-mile limit. If he was he could not claim exemption from responding' to a demand to establish his identity, as was contended by Secretary Greshani in the Alliancia case, for his was not a vessel following a regular route but one cruising from port to port in the West Indes. In view of the fact that several filibustering expeditions have succeeded in landing in Cuba from the coast of Jamaica, and other of the West Indian Islands, officials here are not surprised that the Spanish commanders should exercise every precaution to make sure of the innocent purpose of anysrjfall sailing craft seen hovering about the Cuban coasts, and it is felt that this particular commander acted within his rights if he fired a shot across the bow of the Lane, if she failed to stop when signalled in regular form. The small size and appearance of the schooner, it is said, was against her, and calculated to excite me picion as to her object.

THE MASSE -PILOT SUIT. People Crowd the Coart Room to Hear Cept. John S. Wise. Uorfolk, July 25.

Oapt. John S. Wise occupied nearly the entire time of the City Circuit Court to-day in arguing the evidence in the Massey-Pilot libel suit A tremendous crowd was out and it required the combined efforts of the entire force of deputy sheriffs to keep the people from jambing each other to the point of iDjury, and interfering with order and decorum it their efforts to get into the building. Capt Wise spoke for nearly five hours, beginning with an excoriation of the plaintiff, said by old attorneys to be the most scathing they ever heard to fall from human lips. He took the evidence up and argued it in detail, denouncing Mr.

Massey's statements as to his incomes as bare faced lies. The argument is pronounced by friend and foe of the parties to the suit to have been masterly. The peroration was a magnificent flight of oratory, the crowd finding it difficult to keep from applauding the orator's tribute to Virginia and to Virginians. There is a suspicion that cannot be verified, that Mr. Massey will himself make his own argument.

Carrie Com pany, in reply to the statements made by Mr. Henry C. Gibbs, a director of the Bank of England, and President of the British Bi-Metallic League, in the Times of July 13, controverting the arguments made in the manifesto of the Gold De fence Association. Mr. Currie says that in spite of time and labor spent in the controversy, the Bi-Metallio League is still silent as to any specific plan in which the bi-metallic theory is to be remedied, as to the pro posed ratio, as to the methods of enforcing the ratio, or as to the consequences which would follow its establishment.

Summing up the situation from this standpoint, Mr. Currie said: "The bi-metallists are enthusiastic, ill-advised agitators, instead of practical The Bi Metallic League has shown increased activity during the past week. Its committee has been in constant ses sion since Monday. The league now occupies large offices in Cornhill, and its members are all delighted with the re sult of the general elections. The bi-metallists had workers in every district and in wales.

They circulated eight- feet posters stating the nature of their propaganda, and especially pointing out the attitude ot sir William Vernon Har court, the ex-Chancellor of Exchequer, on the question. All these posters were printed in weisn. Secretary McNeill talking over the situation with a representative of the Associated Press said that most of the Conservative delegates were pledged to bi metallic principles before accepting tne nomination, neaaaea: "i necom plexion of the new Parliament' shows in creased friendship for our views. Da Wales, they have hitherto notunders the difference between-monometall and bi-metallism and have been wont accept Harcourt's views as -law and gospel. Let me tell youTair, William Vernon Harcourt is the individual who is responsible fer the defeat Of the Liberals.

His ideas were narrow and bigotted and it is generally conceded that he is not a financier. Ton may state as a race tnax ne nas rened during his occupancy of the exchequer upon the financial views of a banker, Mr. Monti -gue. When the cause was presented las February, Sir William Harcourt was lis most determined enemy in the Cabinet. It is a significant fact that Mr.

Phiilip Norman Nicholas Hangrd for a Double Murder. Richmond, July 25.

--Phillip Norman Nicholas, the murderer of James Mills and William J. Wilkerson, was banged here this morning. The drop fell at 10:06 and his neck was broken. Nicholas was confirmed as a member the Catholic Church this morning at o'clock in his cell by Bishop Van Dev-yer, and mass was celebrated there. He evidently took much comfort from this.

He was attended on the scaffold by Wilbers but made no statement and was absolutely cool to the last without any bravado. Very few persons witnessed the execution. Nicholas was an unmarried man and lived in a house occupied by James Mills, with whose wife he had for some time been intimate, and in consequence there was much bad blood between the men. The crime was rather peculiar. Nich olas persuaded Mills and Wilkerson to accompany him in a boat across James river to secure a bee tree.

They demurred at first, as they could not swim. On their way over, the boat filled with water and sank, drowning mils ana On examination it was found that there were two augur holes in the boat, where none had been the day be fore, corresponding in size to an augur belonging to Nicholas. Later en two corn cobs were round noatiDg in tne river which fitted the holes. Suspicion pointed strongly to Nicho ls, who, on several occasions, told dif ferent tales, and it was remembered that be bad several times threatened Mills' ife. On the 10th of December.

1892, he was arrested and lodged in the Henrico county jail, and subsequently convicted of the crime. The same scaffold was need upon which three negroes a short time ago were executed.
