sis O'CLOCK.
HOLINESS TRIAL.
Continuation of the Remark
able Court Scenes.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 80. There was but
one question passing from lip to lip to-
day when the Holmes trial was resumed:
"what will the next sensation be?"
The strange and startling developments
which have come pushing and crowding
each other since Monday morning have
worked the nerves of every listener to
such a pitch that whatever may come
hereafter. however bizarre or weird, Will
not be marveied at. The interest never
flags for an instant in or out OF court.
Sharp at 10 o'clock Holmes, with his
quick stride, came swinging along the
steel barred cage, leading from the cell
room and under the escort of big ofhoer
took his seat in the dock. A moment
later the jury were ushered In from their
cell room, tor so long az the case lasts
the II "good men and true" are under
lock ana key In the big jury room OF the
city hall.
Messrs. Shoemaker and Kotan, who
achieved notoriety on Monday by with
drawing from the case under Holmes
orders, In spite of Judge Arnold's threats,
and who came back to their client last
night, held whispered consultations with
him before the taking OF testimony was
resumed.
The first witness today was Susan Hur.
lev. who keeps a boarding house at 1904
Race street. She said Pietzel boarded at
her home for week In August, 1894.
Mrs. Alice Pierce OF 1904 Callowhill
ytreet, identified Pistyel's picture as that
of the man who lived at 1916. She had
known him through his buying cigars at
her store.
o. La Forrest Perry, assistant to the
president OF the Fidelity Mutual Life
Association, was then called. This is the
company that was .swindled cut OF the
$40, 600 for which Pietzels life was in
sured, and it was Perry who began the
spirscy. He first identified the policy is
sued, in which Csgrie +. Pietzel, the
widow, is the beneficiary. II is dated No
vember Q, 1893 Next he identified re-
ceipt for $9716. &C., the amount of the pol.
icy, less expenses paid to and receipted
for Jeptha Howe, the ST. Louis attorney,
who represented Mrs. Pietzel. This is dated
when Howe received the money.
Inspector william +. Gray of the insur-
ance company told OF q trip TO ST. Louis,
where he procured Hedspeth's statement.
Anna Robinson, the stenographer,
who took the examination of Holmes by
Deputy Hsnscom, identified copy of the
statement.
District Attorney Graham offered the
statement In evidence and assistant Barlow
read il to the jury. When he had fin'
ished the court took q recess.
Shortly after noon. Inspector Hall o
the Toronto Police Department arrived
with Mr.. Ryves, who is expected to swear
that he lent Holmes the spade with
which he dug the graves for the Pietze
girls. Ryves lived at 10 st. Vincent street
next to the house whore the bodies were
found and he was accosted by Holmes
over the back fence and asked for the
loan OF spade.

decidedly poor imitator. In fact, she won't
try TO initiate, and as the public has al
ready become used TO tho impersonation of
the original, the one who follows is sci
dom favorably compared.
Miss Walsh has just resigned her last
engagement in the leading rolo of "The
Great Diamond Robbery, which sho Gre
ated. She docs this, .t is said, for the rca-
son that she does not care to travel just
now.
The strange point of Miss Walsh's work
Is that she is exceedingly dignifed enu
pleasantly stately. She knows how 20 un
bend just enough TO make the charaoioi
agreeable Some day "A shrewd manager
will happen along, engage Miss Walsh,
have play written TO exactly suit her,
take hOr on starring tour of the country
and make enough money to start a small
bank. That this has not yet been done is
really surprising.

MERITS No OF THE INDEPENDENT swrDEs

MEITI No OF THE INDEPENDENT swEDEs.
There was another meeting OF Swedish
voters last night, held by the faction
known as the Swedish h-American lnde-
pendent Republican Club. This title is
the same as that of the other orgsniza-
tion with the addition OF the word In
dependent. This means independent OF
the other club, rather than independent
OF the regular party.
DIR. Halter, OF the older organization,
which has asked for q Swedish Council
man, Assem- biymen and q few firemen
and policemen, say that the Independent
organization was started by Charles Nell
strom, out OF spite, because he was turn
cd out OF the other society.
Mr.. Mellstrom was at last nights meet
ing and attacked his fellow countrymen
OF the other body and also the Republi-
caan party In general The tenor OF the
meeting was not altogether harmonious,
but the bulk of the speaking and the
resolutions passed were in favor of the
present administration at the city hall.
According TO the estimates OF Mr.. Will
liam p. Cross, clerk OF the United states
Circuit Court, there.are less than 500
swedes in the city who are qualified to
vote.
PRIMARY MEETINGS TONIGHT.
The Republican primary meetings will
be held in the various wards this evening
to elect delegates to the city convention
next Saturday and to nominate candi-
dates for the school committees.
As IL is considered as matter ol
course thar Mayor Olney Is to receive the
nomination but little interest Is taken in
the makeup OF the delegation to bs
chosen this evening.
There Is vacancy in the Ninth Ward
delegation Of the school committed
caused by the resignation OF Mr.. Fan
ming.

Marvellous Progress In Her Art Made by

Queen Elizabeth was given TO her 1t was
not the best character In the piece by any
means, as the author wrote it, but as that
young girl interpreted il, it overshadowed
everybody and everything on the stage.
The comparative beginner had made "a
most pronounced hit. Persons in the thea
ter glanced at their programmes and saw
there the name Blanche Walsh.
