As the trio neared the hill a part of the bridle fell down over the horse's eyes, and frightened him. Dell jumped out to fix the bridle. The horse reared up, tearing himself loose, and started down the hill on a wild rim. The girls did not have the reins, and so haa no control over him. He rushed on direct for the high cliff at the end of the hill, and it looked as if the girls were doomed to in. slant death. One girl, Lizzie, saw the danger, and jumped, or rather pitched out. She struck 0211 her face, k 0ooking her teeth out, and the hind wheels passed over her body. Alice olung to thebuggyscreaming, Jest as the horse reached the foot of the hill and before he reached the electric road tracks, he collided with a hack team,whioh turned him euddenly,aud threw the fright. oned girl' out on her head.

Mr, Frank P. Geyer, a member of the detective staff of the city of Philadelphia, la in Toronto, on a search whfoh for romantic interest la almost unparalleled in the history of the ceatineet, The mase which is involved in the march is one of the most noted among than of alleged Insurance frauds in the United States, and the story which it contains is in every respect remarkable. As told by Mr, Geyer. to a Mail and Empire reporter, it is as follows :-In the year 1894 two men named Holmes and Pitezel are alleged to have conspired to defraud the Fidelity Mutual Insdrance Company of $10,000 by insur- ing Pitezel's life au& subotituting for hum the body of another man, and thus obtain. ing the money. Before this plan could be put into operation Holmes wan arrested in St. Louis on a charge of forgery, and sentenced to a terns of imprisonment, While in gaol, he met a noted train robber Hedgepath by name,who was in for twenty years. The two became very friendly, and Holmes confided the insur- ance scheme to Hedgepath. The latter undertook to get a lawyer to act for Holmes if he (Hedgepath) were paid 8500. The lawyer secured was said to be ,Ieptha D. Howe, and he, it is alleged, agreed to become a party to the scheme. Shortly after this bargain was made Holmes was released, and he and Pitezel went to Philadelphia; aud on the 400 of September, 1894, renteda house at 1300 Callow hill, Here they opened a store,and sold a patent composition for cleaning clothes. Thepreparation contained benzine and other similar explosives, Pitezel at this time was known as D. F. Perry. One day shortly after the store was opened a man entered it, and finding no one in went up the bark stairs,and walked into a room, the door of which wee wide open, on the second fiat. Here he found a dead man lying on the floor. Near the body was a bottle and a broken jar, a pipe,filled with tobacco and partly smoked, and a number of burnt matches. The body was somewhat burnt and charred, and the surroundings led to the conclusion that the man had been burnt to death. AN ID ENTIFIOAT20N, Soon after the finding of the body a letter was received by the insurance company from Holmes. who was in another part of the country, stating that as there appeared to be some doubt as to the identity of the body he would go to Philadelphia, if hie expenses were paid, and try and identify it. This offer was accepted by the come an P Before the identification took plane the body had been buried in the Potter's field. Amongst those present when the body was dug up were Holmes and Howe and a little girl, a daughter of Pitezel. The body was so badly decomposed that the little girl was not allowed to see it, but, throuzh a hole in a piece of paper she identified a peculiarity in the teeth and a mole on the neck. On the strength of this the $10,000 was paid by the insurance company to Howe for the beneficiaries. THE POLICE WARNED, Mr. Geyer said that immediately after these events Holmes is known to have been in Indianapolis, where he registered at the Stebbins h0050 with the girl mentioned, whom he registered as Etta Pitezel, of St, Louis, In the meantime Hedgepath, who had not received hie $500, communicated with Chief of Police Harrington, and revealed the conspiracy. Enquiries were made and Holmes was arrested in Boston on Novem- ber 18th, 1894, and taken to Philadelphia At this time Mrs. Pitezel, her daughter Desea, and the baby were living at Burl- ington, Vt. A fake telegram was sent to Mrs. Pitezel, caking her to meet Holmes in Boston, and when she went to the latter place, she was arrested: She was kept in custody for a considerable time, but was released, as the authorities did not believe that she knew much about the matter. It is lleged that when Holmen was ar. rested he made a coefessiou that the body found in the Callow Hill store was not Pitezel's, n that ha t the latter was living. ANOTHER STATEMENT. Three weeks ago Holmes was tried for oonepiraoy. On the first day he elected to allow the case to go to trial, but the day after he called the three lawyers whim he had engaged together and said lie wanted to enter a plea of guilty to the oonepiraoy. It is alleged that Holmes has, in addition to the first confession, again made a state- ment to the effect that the body found in the house of Callow Hill was that of Pite- zel. He claimed that Pitezel had commits• ed suicide. He said thathe found Pitezel's body on the third flat of the house, and by him a note,in a bottle,tellinghim (Holmen) to prepare the body in the way that they had arranged to prepare the body which they were to substitute for Pitezel'e ; that. he had taken the body down to the second flat, poured benzine over it, and set it on fire. SEARCH FOR THE CHILDREN. Two weeks ago Mr. Geyer started out to find Pitezel's children. He claims that he found that Aliso, Nellie, and Hower 1 Pitezel were at the Atlantis house, Cinciu. nati, on September 8th, 1894, under the name of Also. E. Cook and three children. On the 29th of the same month they registered at, the Bristol hotel under the same name, Shortly afterwards they were traced to Indianapolis, where the children were registered at English hotel as the three Canning children. They were found to have stayed, between the let and Otit of October, at the Cfrale house, Indianapolis, and Holmes' wife is said to have been registered at' the Circle Park hotel at the same city 00 Mrs. Georgia Howard. It is supposed that they were in Chicago im- mediately afterwards, and the next place they were traced to was Detroit, where the two girls, without the bey, are alleged to. Neve been registered at the New Weetcrn hotel, 05 Ootohor 12th, as Nettie and Ella Canting, while Holmes and his wife were at the Hotel Normandy, under the names of G. Rowel) and wife, In Detroit Holten rented a house at 241 Bost Forest Street, on the outakirits of the city, which he appears to have never ocouptod, as ito bought only one article of furniture, a, peek stove, and gave that away 0n the foilowingday to the woman next door, In ,hie honse there was a stairway leading to the baok and ogvoredin, and at the hot. tom it is alleged that Holmes dog a hole, four feet by three. In the cellar there was u heater large enough to bold a bodyy, and the supposition of the ,deteotivas le that the boy was in this house murdered, end cremated In the furnaue, WENT TO TeeteeT0. On the morning of the 18th of October Holmes went to Toronto with hie wife. While in Detroit the party was joined by Mre. Pitezel, Desea, and the baby, who were registered at Geisa' hotel, where they stayed until Holmes left for Toronto. When Holmee end his wife went to ,Te- rmite they were followed by Mrs. Pitezel, who put up at the Union houst, on Simooe street, between Front et rest and the station,. and there she: is 'aid to have remained under the name of Mrs, 0, A. Adams, of Columbus, Oltio, between October 18th and 25bh. On the 19th of the month the two children, Alice and Nellie, arrived Toronto, aud were met at the Union depot by Holmes, who gave theta in charge of the station porter of the Albion botol,by whom they were taken away, and they were registered at that hotel under the names of Alice and Nellie Canning. On October 2510 Holmes called at the hotel and took the two girls away, and that is the Mee that hats ever been heard of them. Tf1EO0r OF TUE AUTHORITIES. This isthe mystery which Mr. Geyer is in Toronto to solve. The theory of the authoritiee is that the mac Holmes killed the Pitezel boy in the house in Detroit, and destroyed his body in the heater, and that he has further done away with the two children whom he sent to the Albion hotel in Toronto, Their supposition is that he rented a house somewhere in the suburbs of the pity, and that there the crime was com- mitted. Mr. Geyer believes that if he can find a house which was rentedunder oir- cumtances similar to the house rented by Holmes in Detroit, where the lessee paid a month's rent in advance, and then Suit the house within a sew days, he will find the cause for the disappeareuoe: of the two ohildreo. It is on the basis of the facts and conclusions contained in the interview here recorded that Mr. Geyer is reoeiying the assistance of the Toronto authorities in his mission, The reason given by the United States aubhorities for the alleged crime is that Hlm o eewaecompelledtoaupoorCthe Pitezel family from the money he had received from the insurance compan , and that he could not relieve himself of this re- sponsibility because Mrs. Pitezel knew too much about the former transaction. It appears, according to the theory of the detectives, that out of the $10,000 insurance Mrs. Pitezel received $460, the man Howe $2,500, and Holmes the remainder. Mr. Geyer will be in Toronto for acme days, and expects in the meantime to un- ravel some of the tangled threads of mystery surrounding thisremarkable case, which has attracted attention all over the United States. Tha ease of insurance fraud was of itself sufficiently complex, and has afforded a deep sensation; but when taken in conjunction with the mysterious disap. pearance of the boy in Detroit, and hiring of the house and the immediate vacating of it, the arrival in Toronto of the two girls, and their stay at the Albion hotel, followed by their mysterious disappearance, which has not since been aaoonnted for by the man B5lmea,itforms a story so remarkable ae to take a foremost place among the criminal mysteries of the day. It may be added that Holmes is awaiting eeutenoe in Philadelphia on the charge of defrauding the insurance companies, but sentence is withheld, ae the authorities are endeavouring by means of the present investigation to establish a charge of mur- dering Pitezel and the three Pitezel child- ren. LATER. On October 25th last Alice Pietzel, aged 13, and Nellie Pietzel, aged 11, the daugh- ters of the murdered partner of H. H. Holmes, one of the cleverest and most remorseless scoundrels the continent has produced, were cruelly done to death in No. 16 St. Vincent street, Toronto and on Monday their mouldering remains were discovered buried in the cellar of the house. For several days Detective Frank P. Geyer of Philadelphia, has been in Toronto, following up the trail of the man who is charged with the slaughter, and Monday afternoon Ma efforts were crowned with success, as he and Detective Cuddy made the gruesome fled. .With that discovery the concluding link was 'forged in a obain of evidence that goes to show one of the strangest and most terrible romances of crime that has been brought to light for many a decade. Told in brief, Harman W. Mudgett, best known as H. H. Holmes, and going by numerous other aliases, and Benjamin F. ae Piet el last z year conspired to defraud the Philadelphia Mutual Insurance Co. by insuring the latter's life for $10,000 and by then simulating his death. Early in October Pineal actually died, and under most suspicious oircnmstaeces; and Holmes led his wife to believe that her husband had coaled out his plot, and was then alive and in hiding. While earrviog out this imposition upon her Holmes found it necessary to travel with three of his dead partner's ohildreo, Alice, Nellie and Howard, a lad of Line years. From city to city they went until Detroit was reached, and there the boy dropped out of the story , Holmes rented a house for a month, remained in it for a few days, en. tered it with the boy and left it unamom. panted. Next the two remaining children and their guardian cams to Toronto, aod for several days the children stayed at the Albion Hotel; on Thursday, October '25th, they loft it, and they, too, dropped out of the story until Monday when their remains were found oonooaled in the cellar of a house which Holmes had rented under clrcumstanoea and with a story precisely similar to that with which ho hired the holm to Detroit. That is the story that Detective Geyer has,etep bystap, unearthed and a most remarkable one it is. A Gentle Revenge. Old Bachelor -Remember that girl I nearly went crazy over?

EXM EM B REU .-Pt L6- PAUAMENT Hon. Reuben l,, Truax, one of Canada's ablest thinkers and states- men, a man so highly esteemed by the people of his district that he was honored with a seat in Parliament, kindly furnishes us for publication the following statement, which will be most welcome to the public, inasmuch as it is one in which all will place implicit confidence. Hr. Truax says: "I have been for aboltt ten years very much troubled with Indigestion and Dyspepsia, have tried a great many different kinds of patent medicines, and have been treated by a number of physicians and found no benefit from them. I was reoom. mended to try the Great South American Nervine Tonic. I obtained e. bottle, and I must say I found very great relief, and have since taken two more bottles, and now feel that I am entirely free frota Indigestion, and would strongly recommend all my fellow-stifferers from the disease to give South American Nervine an immediate trial. It will cure you. "REUBEN r. TRTIAY, " Walkerton, Ont," It has lately been discovered that oertaiu Nerve Centres, located near the base of the brain, control and supply the stomach with the neces- sary nerve force to properly digest the food. When these. Nerve Cen- tree are in any way deranged the supply of nerve force is at once diminished, and as a result the food taken into the stomach is only partially digested, and Chronic Indi- gestion and Dyspepsia soon make their appearance. South American Nervine is so prepared that it acts directly on the nerves. It will absolutely cure every case of Indigestion and Dyspepsia, and is an absolute specific for all nervous diseases and ailments. It usually gives relief in one day. Its powers to build up the whole system are wonderful in the extreme. It cures the old, the young, and the middle-aged. It is a great friend to the aged and infirm. Do not neglect to use this precious boon ; if you do, you may neglect the only remedy which will restore you to health. South American Nervine is perfectly safe, and very pleasent to the taste. Delicate ladies, do not fail to use this great cure, because it will put the bloom of freshness and beauty upon your lips and in your cheeks, and quickly drive away your disabilities and weaknesses. Dr. W, 'Washburn, of New Richmond, Indiana, writes : "I have used South American Heroine in my family and prescribed it in my praotiso. It is a most excelletti remedy." dh BEABBAY WholeSalc' l(Ild Retail Agent for Brussels
