Chicago's Brag Building Falls to the Ground ’by Its Own Weight. CHICAGO, Aug. 2’5.—The Coliseum building, a great open structure which was being built by the Chicago_Exhibition company in the block bounded by Hope and Stony Island avenues and Sixty-third , and Sixty-second streets, was wrecked by the collapse of its iron roof. If the disas- ter had occurred a little earlier, there Would have been great loss of life, as over :30 men had just quit work for the night. Several watchmen had just made their rounds of the interior, and were standing under the walls, which are unusually low for the size of .the building. They hap- ~ 5 .27?" , sari asunquw as THE COLISEUM. penedto be on the street side, and when the crashing superstructure of iron gave warning of danger they had plenty of time to rush to a place of safety. When the massive arches of iron began to break down from their fastenings on the four sides of the structure, the strain was too much for the thin, low walls of pressed brick. With a deafening sound the mass of iron carried with it the four walls in a chaotic heap toward the center, and the work of destruction was complete. The cost of the Coliseum was to be $225,000, and as it was nearing comple- tion for the opening show the loss is be- lieved to be nearly $200, 000. The Usual Order Reversed. SALINA, Kan, Aug.

PETITIONS PROM IIAWAIL The Dole Government and the Boyulists Said to Have Sent Them. OMAHA, Aug. 30.—T. D. Sherman pass- ed through Omaha en route to Washing- ton from Honolulu. He says that on the ' steamship which brought him to San Francisco was an important official com— munication from the follotvers of the de- posed queen, the contents of which must soon be made known at Washington. He knows it to be a formal request upon the United States to reinstate the queen or monarchy. and so avert inevitable blood- shed. The failure of the Dole govern- ment is alleged. Mr. Sherman says that the Dole goyern- ment has formulated a proposition to the United States government to be laid be- §ore congress at the next session. This ecument, Mr. Sherman says, Was sug- gested by the action of the Royalists in appealing to the United States and asks this government to guarantee protection to the Dole government. Sherman adds, “It will not be long un- til Queen. Liliuokalani will ascend the throne, yet possibly not to remain.” He says that nearly every native has been secretly supplied with arms, but no serious trouble is expected until the Amer- ican congress declines to act.

BONES FOUND IN A CHIMNEY Alleged llIultimur-dererzhlust Have Occu- pied the House In \Vhich the Charred Remains \Vere Discovered Only About Three Days. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 29. —The finding of the body of little Howard Pitezel, one of the alleged victims of that alleged mul- tifarious murderer, H. H. Holmes, is the sole topic of discussion on the streets to- day. Detective Geyer and Inspector Garey of Philadelphia had spent the entire day in searching a. house in the little suburban village of Irvington which had been oc- cupied by Holmes in October, 1894. The detectives had found the house after con- siderable difficulty, and their search led them to believe that the body of the Pitc- zel boy would be found there. So confi- dent Were they that when the work was temporarily abandoned Geyer announced that the long search would be ended to- day, and that the fate of the Pitezel boy, whose sisters’ bodies were found in‘Tc— route, would be positively known. But after the detectives had left the house Dr. Barnhill, a partner of the for. mer owner of the premises, began an in- yestigation. His first search was in the chimney in the house. From the dining room there was an opening into the chim. nan-an“, ' HOWARD PITEZEL. ney. The doctor put his hand in the chimney and found it full of debris. He pulled out a handful. It was a portion of a human body. Another handful brought to light bones and further evidence of the fact that the remains of a human body had been deposited there. Satisfying himself that there was no doubt of the conclusion to which'the facts pointed, the doctor hastened to the city with a. small quantity of the remains. This he placed before the detectives. They fully corroborated his conclusion. “It is ‘no use digging any farther,” “These are the re- mains of Howard Pitezel. ” A Mass of Charred Bones. “The chimney is filled with charred bones,” said Dr. Barnhill. “The entire body, or what was left of it, was crowded into the stove hole.” . The body had evidently been burned in a stove and the stove was cleaned out, the remains being thrown into the chimney. There were a great many corncobs about the place, and it is evident that the fire that burned the child was made from them. The doctor has not fully examined all the contents of the chimney. He told this story: g“The first and most characteristic dis- covery was a piece of skull: The thick- ness is’that of a child about 12 years old. Both piafies of the bone are well represent- ed. This is ahuman skull, for the reason that the sutures are more developed as to the spines than those of any other animal. Although it is’fearfully charred, we find all the characteristics of human bone. Besides the bones I took from the chim- ney, there are a trunk buckle or clasp and a piece of a corner protection strip. Th 56 correspond with the iron parts of a trunk which was owned by Pitezel. This trunk was taken from under the porch by the detectives. There are also the remains of a tintype photograph. It is perfect as to shape and thickness, but the likeness has been burned out. “In my opinion, the evidence that these are the remains of a victim of H. H. Holmes, and probably those of the Pitezel boy, is conclusive. The peculiar manner in which this man rented the house, the misleading story he told in regard to his sister, the fact that two or three persons positively identified the pictures of Holmes and of the boy, Howard Pitezel, the sud- den disappearance of the man, and now the discovery of these remains, together with the resemblance to the methods of Holmes in all other cities, make a certain case. " “Who identified the pictures of Holmes and of the Pitezel boy as those of the per- sons who rented the house?" ' ‘ Elvet Moorman, for one. He is a bright boy and a competent witness. He kept our cow in that barn and saw Holmes and the boy. When a local newspaper printed the pictures of the two, this boy was in Paoli. He said to his mother when he saw the pictures, ‘That is Holmes, who rented the doctor’s cottage.’ He was so certain about it that when he came back to Ir- vington be searched the house for evidence of a crime, but finding nothing he let the matter drop and never reported it. Holmes' Significant Remark. “Holmes said to this buy one day, for he often talked with him, ‘I am not going to put gas in the house, for it would be . unhealthy for the boy.’ And now we find that when the boy’s body was burned corncobs wore us ed. ” “How long was Holmes in Irvington?” “No one knows exactly, but between two and three days. He was there that long at least.” To make sure that the trunk found at Irvington belonged to the .Pitezel family Detective Geyer telegraphed to Mrs. Pite- zel at Galva, Ills., inquiring if the chil- dren’s trunk had a strip of calico pasted overa crack on the bottom. The reply was: ' “Yes, the trunk had strips of blue cal- ico, white figure, pasted over crack entire length of trunk.” The portion of the trunk found included the top and the bottom, with about six inches of the sides from the bottom up, with a crack in the bottom, where a cleat had been nailed. Over this is pasted a narrow strip of blue calico goods torn from an old dress or apron. .. 3 R0 9...... Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE n to... .~ I Highest of all in Leavemng Power.— Latesr U.

J., today. The death of Judge Duffy had been hourly expected for the past three days. The extreme unction was administered on Monday morning, and after that - time “the little judge, ” as he was always called, sank fast. Patrick Gavan Dufly was the most pic- turesque police justice that ever sat on a New York bench. During the 17 years he served as a police justice his name became known from Maine to California. He was the son of a college professor who died when he was very young. His uncles, who t_ k charge of him, destined him for the church. He was sent to Seton Hall college, where he was graduated with honors. Shortly before he was graduated, however, he decided not to enter the church. On his arrival in New York he got a place as a teacher in the First ward public school. Finally he dipped ,into politics and be- came one of the shining political lights of the First ward. In 1_869 he was made a police justice, John Kelly was the leader of Tammany Hall at that time, and Dufi'y became one of his right hand men. Duffy’s airy persifiage made him fa- mous. Whether on the bench, in the schoolroom or on the street the little judge was always ready for a joke. When Duffy’s first term expired, he was not reappointed. After two years of po- litical life he found himself on the bench again, and there he remained without a break until his term expired in 1893. Dufi'y made a specialty Of knowing his prisoners.» Whenever a notorious woman was brought before him, the little judge would always address her by her first name, and if the woman had any wit at all a spicy exchange of verbal courtesies was sure to ensue. If the prisoner got the best of the argument, she was usually dis- charged. Ii‘ she failed, however, to rise to his persifiage, the result was disastrous to the extent of ten days or 810. During all the years that “the little judge” was on the bench .he lived ina small ball bedroom at the Astor House. He had always been considered a con- firmed bachelor and used to declare that he would never marry- Two years ago, much to the amazement of his friends, Police Justice Duffy married a. distant cousin. She had nursed him through a dangerous illness, and as soon as he re- covered the wedding took place. Ten - Vegetarians Convicted.

New YORK, Aug. 30.—The Astor tramp has been outdone by another member of the profession who left an an early boat today to summer for a period in the Work- house on Blackwell’s island. The Astor tramp slept in amillionaire’s bed, but his rival for fame has sat at the desk where Mayor Strong directs the af- fairs of this great city. This aimless wanderer claims the name of Andrew Bradley. When he has the luck to have a home, he says, he lives at 77 Walldbout street, Brooklyn. As the gray streaks of dawn stole into the mayor’s sanctum Tramp Bradley stole in with them through a window which he opened from the outside. When Watchman John Larkin entered the office to raise the windows, he found the strange caller standing listlessly by the mayor's desk. He looked entirely unconcerned. He had neither disturbed nor appropriated anything and acted as if he had merely dropped in to make a social call upon his honor. He had just arisen from the mayor’s chair. Larkin demanded to know how he got into the room. The tramp explained that he met a man who claimed to be a police sergeant in front of the city hall. The alleged sergeant told him that if he went into the mayor’s office his' honor would give him a new pair of trousers, as he was distributing garments every morn— Ing. ’ To make sure that he would be an early caller, he said, he decided to steal into the mayor’s office. His escapade cost him a trip to the workhouse. . SIX COMPANIES DISRUPTED. The Powerful Chinese Organization Broken Up by Internecine Strife. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29.—The faction- al fight that has been going on for some time in Chinatown between the See Yup and the Sam Yup families has culminated in the disruption of the Six Companies, the most powerful organization ever insti- tuted by the Chinese in this country. _ All the efforts of Consul General Li Yung Yew and other prominent Chinese to bring about a settlement of the differ- ences here resulted in failure, and the Chi- nese minister at Washington has an- nounced his intention of coming to San Francisco and trying his powers as a peacemaker. The secession of the See Yups from the Six Companies leaves the latter with the small end of the o'rganiza tion and a depleted treasury. The boycott started by the Sec Yups has nearly ruined the Sam Yup merchants, and if not ended soon it will cause the retirement from business of a large number of firms. The boycott is not confined to this city, but is being extended to every place in the Unit- ed States where Chinese reside in any number. This state of affairs has been tele- graphed to the minister. A few days ago he informed the Chinese officials that un- less the boycott was declared off within 12 days from the date of his telegram he would come to San" Francisco and take a hand in the controversy. This is under. stood to mean that some of the leaders in the warfare may expect to have their heads loppcd off whenever they return to China unless they comply with the com- mands of the minister. MARRIED IN HASTB. Mrs. Rose Repented at Leisure and Han Away From Her Husband. INDIANAPOLIS,Aug. 29.—A sensation has been furnished here in the elopement of Mrs. R. R. Rose, wife of one of the mom. bers of the Rose Publishing company. Mrs. Rose left her apartments and fled, it is thought, with Myron Powell, a well known Chicago business man. Mr. and Mrs. Rose were married five weeks ago in Chicago and removed here immediately after. Powoll and Mrs. Rose were lovers for several years and were engaged to be mar- ried, but Rose met the young woman, and she ap arently became infatuated with him. heir acquaintance was of but a few weeks’ duration when they decided to become man and wife. The woman, it seems, repented of the step very shortly after the knot ,had been tied, and, it is said, was in communication with Powell, and he followed her here. Rose remonstrated with his wife for meeting Powell, whereupon she is said to have replied that she would do as she pleased and put on her hat and loft. the flat. Mrs. Rose is a prepossessing locking woman of about 22 years. She is small in stature, a brunette, stylish and vivacious. The only cause given by Rose for the elopement is his wife’s infatuation for Powell. Religious Trouble In Mexico. CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 29.—Consti_tu- tional and reform clubs have issued an important manifesto against the Catholic clergy and announce that they will en- deavor to secure the entire compliance of the clergy with reform laws and make the propaganda support the existing contitu- tion, which provides for entire separation between church and state.

LONDON, Aug. 29.—The Pall Mall Ga- zette, discussing the prcspects of the teams from the London Athletic club and Cam- bridge University Athletic club, says: ' ‘The - London Athletic club team is in no way the powerful combination expected and will be badly beaten. The Cambridge team, too, is not especially strong and is scarcely likely to hold its own against Yale.” ' A German Bark Abandoned.
