Tne Story tike Qstataaa Tell Chief Bad enh Holmea' Wholesale Batcharies.. - Chicago, -Aug. 3. A morning paper gives the following particular of the confession made by the Quinlans yes terday to Chief vBadenoch, which was taken down by a stenographer. ; - e They related that it. their-opinion, Hiss Ci grand, Mrs. Julia Connor and her daughter Pearl, and Minnie - and Nannie Williams are all dead and that Holmes murdered tbem.- v v PietzeL they said, quarreled fre quently with Holmes because tbe latter would not act squarely with his asso ciate in the dealings, and they believed that Holmes killed Pietzel su as to pre vent any telling.of his crimes, which, they believe,. Pietzel was aware of to some extent! As to whether Pietzel participated in any of the murders they do not know. Thev believe that Holmes, after killing Pietzel, felt that it was necessary to dispose of the dead man's children, and that Alice, Nellie and Howard Pietzel were killed by him. As to Miss Vantansill - they knew nothing and never saw . her. Miss Cigrand, Mrs. Connor, Pearl Connor, Minnie and : Nanie Williams, they thought, came to their death in the Holmes building. Mrs. Quinlan related that one day when, her husband was away she saw Holmes poking into the stove in his office, which was red-hot, something that looked like portions of a human body, and that a horrible odor came from the room. Quinlan said that -after Holmes had gone away he found a bottle of chloroform in the steel vault. They both said that they saw the Williams girls about Jnly 5th, 1893, for the last time, and that they must have been put out of the way at that time. Nothing Mew In the Case. Chicago, Aug. 3. The police have nothing new to announce in the Holmes case to-day. Superintendent Badenach was not in his oflioe during the day, and Inspector Fiupatrick was engaged with other matters. He said work was being pursued on the case upon the lines suggested in information gained from the Quintans. It is stated to-day that a dime museum firm had secured a lease on the Holmes castle in Englewood, and would fence it and charge visitors 10 cents for ad mission to the house and grounds.

The Bessemer City Cotton Mill was sold at Bessemer City, under a deed of trust, to-day and was bought by Mr. S. J. Durham, of Dallas. Dr. J. H. McAden, Messrs. S. Witt kowsky, W. C. Maxwell and C. W.

Fire was discovered last night about 9:30 o'clock n the warehouse of W. A. Mauney Bro., which is in the lot rear of their store. Considerable lumber was piled near the warehouse, and several frame buildings were near, which made the situation look somewhat dangerous in the beginning, but the warehouse was brick with iron roof, and by this means the fire was confined to that building The lumber was moved and a small frame house close by was torn down: other adjacent buildings were watered, preventing any further damage than the warehouse, which was completely destroyed. There were about 15 bales of cotton in the building, which was the greatest loss except the building. The approximate loss is $1,000, with no insurance. Supposed to have been caught by spontaneous combustion. Aid Asked for Waller and His Wife. Topeka, Kan., Aug. 3.

BnU Flghta 1 ha Ktat Kxhiblt to Go to Atlanjta Civil Service Kxamina iosta Special to the Observer. Raleigh, Aug. S. The special com mittee of the Board of Agriculture n&nimously decided this morning to Llow DrsIay and Fernow, of the United . States geological and forestry departments, to take to Atlanta and ex hibit all of tbe building stones, toe best specimens of the coal and iron ana gold ores, and tbe forestry exhibit. It will be a very complete display as far as it goes and will cover some 150 feet of floor space. It is to be in place at the exposition by September 18th. Tbe Agricultural Department wishes it understood that this is not a North Carolina exhibit, but that tbe articles are lent to the government to fill in the gaps in its great displays. The state Treasurer bad a visit to day from a broker who informed him that suit would be broegbt to force- tbo State to pay the accrued interest since lhso on the state s North Carolina Rail road bonds. Treasurer Worth says he will never pay it until ordered by the courts to do so, nr does he believe thev will so order. The revenue board of civil service ex aminers for this district met here this morning, and the examination of the applicants for positions iu the classified service as storekeepers and gaugers, gaugers and clerks began. Victor Hoy den is chairman, N. A. Brown, secreta ry and Mr. Walker member of the board. There are only seven persons being examined; a much smaller num ber than was expected. In an interview to-day with one of the best known politicians in the State he said: "Senator Marion Butler is grooming William A. (Juthrie for Governor, and at the Populist 'rallies' which are being held he is maneuver itg to have Guthrie invited to speak and he takes care that no other possible aspirant to the Populist nomination for Governor shall be invited. Butler's' dea is to get a man in the gubernatorial hair whom he can absolutely control. The same reason" which prompted him to make Otho Wilson railroad commis sioner, that is that he himself might iu fact be commissioner, is urging him on ' n tne gubernatorial matter. He is not satisfied to be Senator and have some body else Governor and get another one railroad commissioner, but he seeks to be all those. He is afraid of any man who thinks for himself, even though he should think in the same way and be influenced by the same party plan. This is what is the matter with Butler. He will not be successful. It is so apparent to all that Guthrie and Guthrie only is Butter's man that the Populists and Republicans are re belling. While they are, willing for Butler to be Senator they are not wili ng for him to be dictator. J. M. Moody, S. Lusk, D. L. Russell, Thomas Set- le, (let him denv it as much as he will) Hileman, of Cabarrus, are candidates for the nomination for Governor. Even Hal. Aver, the editor of Butler's paper. has the 'bee in his bonnet.' While he would like to exhibit some independ ence, he is afraid to do so. Butler doubtless thinks by getting Dr. J. J. Mott on his side he has got the Repub- lcan party, but he is greatly mistaken. The Republicans oppose Guthrie be cause he has been so unstable politi cally. Neither J. M. Mewborne nor 'Buck' Kitchen nor Hileman nor Harry Skin ner will submit to the dictatorship of Butler or of any other man. Mewborne, while not an avowed candidate, is not o be forgotten in the general race. The rebellion against Butler went to such ac extent during the session of the Legislature that he was actually unable to get through some really good meas ures. All those above named are friend ly to Butler and do not regret his elec tion to the Senate, and they do not wish to destroy him, but they will not be pulled by the nose. "The Populist party to-day is stronger n intelligence and character than it was in the last campaign, and there are more in it who will not submit to the dictation of anybody. The name of the man who will really receive the nomination for Governor has not yet been mentioned, nor is it likely to be until on the eve of the convention. The man put up will be the strongest man to be found, a man of the highest abil- ty. He will be announced at the proper time. There is a determination to have such a man. There is a well-known want oy ine uepuDiicans for some broad-cloth' in their party." isenator 1'ritcbard rather intimates his desire to keep out of the "push" in politics, but he will be bound to get in it. What was said a day or two ago about the fusion arrangement plans has surely raised a stir. I developed the fusion "machine, and as a result has drawn fire from all directions. It will very probably arouse Senator Butler. since it was his hand which was thus exposed. The Populists who claim to be free from the machine swear no man can say there will or will not be fusion; that the odds are as great one' way as the other; that if the Republicans nom inate a gold man for President and do not go in for the financial reform which the Populists demand then the Populists will absolutely refuse to join forces with them. The Populists are asserting that white Republicans have no strength east of Greensboro; that the Populists nave withdrawn from their ranks. Bdi tor Ayer, of the Caucasian, savs that in Chatham day before vesterdav nine men gave him their subscriptions and told htm they had been ReDublicans Editor Ayer makes the assertion that the people care only for silver now and have put politics in the lumber yard. and he cites in confirmation of this the speeches made at .these Populist 'ral lies," in which he saj's the declaration was made that if the Populist Senators and Represenatives play false in work ing for financial reform they need never return home, and that this sentiment was loudly applauded. All these things are oi interest now. The good 'people of this State do not at an relish the idea of the oro nosed ouii ngnts at tbe Atlanta Exposition Chairman Green, of the Board of Ag riculture, says there is disgust at the proposed fights, and that the people wouia line to pe assured that no such thing would take place. Several revenue officers nave within tne past lew days received warnings that they had better not venture into certain counties. Such threats do not intimidate men like Deputy W. F. Gib son and others of the "dead game Class... " The Bute Board of Education has no knowledge of the extent of the "swamp lanas in Brunswick And Columbus, as they Have never been surveyed.

So Says the Islington,. Correspondent and fCbarg-ea That Dale's Friends Wrote for tain. Special to tbe Observer. j Lexington, Aug. 3. The morning train which always brings to us the OLbserver was several hours late to-day and in consequence everybody was ask- sgm a disappointed tone, "How long till the Charlotte mail will be here?" Mr. Dale, in his reply to your corre spondent to-day, seems to be somewhat excited and gets rather rank and if some of his special friends will continue to encourage him he will get ranker still at least he will put his name to what they write, for I am sure Tie did not compose that letter in to-day's Ob- 8EKVKR. Mr. Dale s friends should be ashamed of themselves and not have him make assertions he should not and could not afford to state if he has any respect for truth. Mr. T. S. Dale is the last man in the county who should speak thus of a jury or deny his own former statements, and I don t think be would do so if let alone. Your correspondent has never at tempted to represent local sentiment nor shape public opinion on the case. AN ATTACK OF HKAKT FAILURE. Female Baseballists Coins Business In This State Have a Contract With Wadea boro Special to the Observer Wadesboko, Aug. 3. Mrs. Knotts, of near Troy, was trading at Crowson's 'Bazaar, when she was suddenly at tacked with heart failure. Mr. Crow- son bathed her face with cold water and then hurried for the nearest physician, ne being away, Dr. J. H. Bennett was summoned who immediately came and applied restoratives to the patient. She was restored sumciently to be taken home. There will be a novel ball game played on the Wadesboro diamond, next Friday afternoon. A team consisting of women from New York will play the Wadesboro ball team. This, will be something entirely out of the regular order of things for Wadesboro and will no doubt create much excitement as well as gossip. Full particulars of the game will be published later. CAT. FISHER'S PRIVATE STREET. He Digs a Ditch Across It and the Mayor Promptly Fines Him 50 for It. Special to the Observer. Giieensboro, Aug. J. lireensboro is greatly stirred up now over the closing up of .North t,lm street by uapt. a. J. Fisher. A few years ago Capt. Fisher opened up a street connecting with Aorth hAm through his property. The town then condemned the street for a street railway, and when ( apt. b isher sued for damage he was given only nominal damages. The captain a few days ago cut a deep ditch across the street on his property, thus closing the street. The mayor then arrested and fined him $50 for obstructing the street. The case involves m very interesting legal point. FOR SOUND SIOMY. The Majority of Delegates to the Iowa Democratic Convention Favor It. Des Moines, la., Aug. 3. The ast Iowa counties held their conventions to-day to name delegates to the Democratic convention ednesday. Majorities send unmstructed delega tions favorable to sound monev and the administration. Generally the in structed delegates are for sound money. The silver men have made the issue in almost all places and where they could control have instructed for free silver resolutions by the State convention The policy of the sound money men on the other hand has been to avoid in structions and follow a conciliatory policy.

At first it was tnougnt tne local sugar kings would join but they have since refused to do so. Grant Will Not Lead Tammnny. New Yobk,, Aug. 3. Ex-Mayor J Grant has returned from Europe, and emphatically declares that he will not accept the leadership of Tammany Hall should the position be tendered to him. The reason for Mr. Grant s re fusal to consider any proposition look ing to becoming bead or Tammany is understood to be that he wishes to give nis entire time vo nis private ousiness.

CHINESE FANATICISM AGAIN. KB JKBKI6AB REPORTS A BUB JACKJS. Christians Slain at Kueheng-. But Only ry-'.. Omm American Wonnded. WA8HrsoT0jr, Aug. 3. A cable dis patch received at the State Department to-day from Mr. Jernigan, the. United States consul general, at Shanghai, reports a massacre of Christaios at Ku cheng, - China. No Americans were killed but one was seriously wounded. The. name of , the place where the massacre occurred was not plain iu the dispatch but it is understood to be Ku cheng, where, according to -'a United Press cable message from Shanghai, re ceived this morning, a frightful massa cre of Christians had occurred. The on!y place on the map of the State Department which resembles Kucheng in name is Kincheng. This is located in the middle of China, north of the Yang-Tsekiang river. Navy De partment officials say that no vessel can get within several hundred miles of the place. The dispatch from Mr. Jernigan gave the name of the American lady who was seriously wounded as Miss Harlow, and said that five English ladies were I killed. A Friahtfal Massacre of Christians at Kb cheaK. Shanghai. Aug. 3.

Among those murdered were Jive foreign ladies. No confirmation of the report has been received. ADKK ACTING PROMPTLY. He Finds, However, That Mo War Veseel Can Reach the Scene Difficulty in Locat ing the Place. Washington, Aug. 3. What steps the State Department will take with reference to the massacre has not been determined and probably will not be until fuller details are cabled by Minis ter Denbv or Consul General Jernigan. Immediately upon the receipt of the dispatch from the latter. Acting Secre tary Adee, of the state Department, in formed the Navy Department of the flair with a view of ascertaining if any United States naval vessel could reach the scene of trouble. The dispatch from Mr. Jernigan gave the name of the Dlace where the massacre occurred as Kuck Kenge, instead of Kueheng. Neither Kuck Kenge nor Kueheng could be found on the maps at the State and Navy Departments but a place called Kiucheng was found and this is believed to be tne correct locali ty. It is situated on a small stream in the middle of China, north of the Yangtze-Kiang river and in a position hat forbids even the Macnias, tne mallest United States gun-boat on the Asiatic station, from getting within at least 400 miles. The Miss ilarlow named in Mr. Jer igan's diSDatch as having been wound ed, is believed to be Miss Mabel C. Hartford, of Dover, N. H., in charge of he Methodist mission at Kiucheng. Her assistant is Miss W. H. Rouse, and wo other Methodist female mission- ries, Miss Mabel Allen and Miss Sarah Peters, are located at places near by The Church Missionary Society has a large mission at Kiucheng and the Ave English women wno were Kinea are probably attached to it. At the State Department it is oeuevea that the massacre is simply the result f another outbreak of fanaticism, such as was rampant during tne uninese- apanese war. The greatest riot at that time against Christians occurred at Cheng-Tu. The American mission buildings there were damaged, but no American was killed. Minister Denby protested against the treatment of the Americans at Cheng-Tu and the Chi nese government gave satisfactory as surances of its intention to punish the offenders and to prevent a repetition of the outrages. The British missions at Cheng-Tu were also damaged and tbe British government ha just Bent one oi ts consular officers to make inquiry into the affair with a view to demanding damages.

In reply to the complaint of a 12-hour wait at Glen Alpine of passengers on the east-bound train Wednesday af ternoon, , "Ex-Dispatcher," or : Mor ganton, comes to the defense of the Southern Railway. He says "it is understood" (which leaves a doubt) that there was only one . available engine east of the wreck. The com nlaint of the rtassengers detained at Glen Alpine is that the great Southern should not be able to scrape up one extra engine to rescue its patrons f rom a serious predicament, it is to d hoped, too, that the road will now ar range it so that an engine can be turned around hereafter between Morganton and Salisbury, if need be. Ex-Dispatcher savs: "The argument that the local train should have been treated aa was the vestibule is impotent from the fact that a local train so di verted ceases to be a local train, and the passengers instead of being treated as were the through passengers, would be simply turned away from Home, not i forwarded on their way," The majority ! of : the delayed passengers " were . for points bevond Salisbury. The remain der were entitled to be taken home long before the expiration of 12 bours.
