HOlzhay, BLACK Bart" on trial for the
murder of Banker F1eischbern, Of Belle
vile, ILL.,, and the robbery OF the Gogebic
stage, took the stand in his own defense
to-day and made confession. He admitted
he robbed the Milwaukee & Northern train
six months ago, held up the Wisconsin
Central train at Cadott, Wisconsin, a
month later and waylaid the Gogebic stage
and shot Banker Fleischb, IN.
Holzhay says he worked on Oeonto river
for three years, aud then desiring change
went to Portland, Ogp., for short time.
He then " ent up to the Puget Sound coun-
try, where he worked in mill for five
months. He also spent eight weeks in rid
ing about the country, and was in the west
altogether about eight months. While in
Washington territory Holzhay said he was
injured by his horse falling on him, and
that he laid unconscious. for some time
afterwards, and that while his health pre-
vious to this accident had been good, since
then it had been bad. He could not describe
just how it affected him but it affected
his whole system, and particularly his
head. Ordinarily he felt quite well, but
the bad spells would come over him and
would last probably a day, sometimes
longer. He said that during these spells
ne felt strong, but couldn't describe his
feeling. During such spells his actions,
and any incidents or occurrences taking
place 1T such times, were all blank after
ward. He had several of these spells since
his capture, and probably had had dozen
or more since he was injured. Holzhay
said ne remembered the day he was ar
rested and who arrested him, but he could
not tell why he held up the stage Holzhay
says he does not remember the Gogebic
stage; he didn't remember seeing either
Fleischbern or the driver, and failed to
identify the watch and pocket book
said to belong to Fleischbern. He claimed
he had never seen F'leischbern's name on
the pocketbook until his attention was
directed to it by Howell. The attorney

Halzhay seemed somewhat staggered by
the directness of the question but replied:
II carried the revolvers to protect myself
from wild animals in the woods and did not
ike to leave them anywhere as 1 might not
find them again.
Halzhay was the only witness called for
the defense. When he had concluded, the
defense rested.

THE WHITE METAL.
Resolutions and Demands of the
Silver Convention.
THE NATIONAL REFORM PARTY,
Christian Temperance Union-Amerlcan Turf
COngress-NatiOnal Baseball Cuba
London Copper Collapse.

DENVER, Nov. 14-The Silver conven-
ton adjourned this afternoon. The only
business done at the meeting in the morn
ing was the adoption Of series of resolu-
tions. Over some of them there was con-
siderable wrangling, but finally they were
unanimously agreed upon. In the after
noon a permanent organization was formed,
which will be known in the future as the
Colorado Silver association. Hon. H. A.
w. Tabor was made president, and vice
president was chosen from each county in
the state. The preamble which proceeds
the resolutions goes on to state that it is
the opinion of the people that the demone-
tization Of silver sixteen years ago by this
country and foreign powers was the result
of a conspiracy of the few against the
many, of the creditor class against the
debtor class, of the consumers against the
producers, of the idlers against the work
ers; that since the time mentioned the
period had been marked by constantly de-
clining prices of staple commodities and of
all the products of the farm and
shop, and also taking from the producers
30 per cent. of their gross productions; that
this condition of things has now been
definitely traced by the most careful and
struction of more than half it's standard
money, thereby increasing the use of and
demand for gold; that efforts to remedy
this iQ-timed action have been met with
predictions of evil to the people and to the
nation.
The resolutions are, in substance, that
the time has finally come when a re-
storation must be made, and that this can
only be done by restoring the system of
metal money coinage in effect prior to
1873, which in the past has proved so bene-
fetal; that Congress, upon assembling, pass
an act for the RECOMMENDATION of silver and
for the free and unlimited coinage of the
same; that until such time demand is
made for the coinage OF 81 100000 per
| month, in accordance with the Bland bill.
That the time has arrived when the United
| states can lead the way in the matter of
free and unlimited coinage, and that by so
doing it will increase the prosperity of its
people. That the present stringency of
the money market in connection with the
low price for all the products of labor is
convincing evidence that the money volume
has not expanded with the increase in pop
ulation. That the people generally insist
upon the enforcement of these just de-
mands.

has been put is a starter, and liable
for the whole. If horse is ex-
cused after he is weighed out, all
book bets on the race are void,
and additional time before the race shall be
granted by judges. In auctions CT Paris
mutuals, bets stand, but the money bet on
excused horses shall be refunded"
Rule 90, Section A, relating to state pen
alties and Section c, on beaten and maiden
allowances, is stricken out.
Rule 129 is amended so that jockeys,
grooms and ble-boys, found on the bet
| ting ground, may be fined as well as sus-
pended or ruled off.
Rule 40 was stricken out and q new rule
| adopted in its place, reading, ''If an ineli-
gible horse has been entered for the pur-
pose Of betting against him and he finishes
first; or if he is entered for the purpose of
having him disqualified by objections made
after the race, all bets shall be declared
