MURDERER OF MEN, WOMEN
AND CHILDREN MUST DIE ON
THE GALLOWS.
HIS IRON NERVE UNSHAKEN.
HE LISTENS TO THE VERDICT
WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST
TREMOR.
THE JURY DECIDED QUICKLY.
All Voted for Conviction on the
First BaIIOt-MOtion for Il
New Trial.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. O.
Henry H. Holmes was convicted Of
murder in the first degree at S:51
o'clock tonight for killing Benjamin
F. Pietzel. He coughed slightly
when he heard the words. That was
the only sign.
The jury retired to deliberate at
$40 o'clock this afternoon. Accord
ing to one of their number, they had
reached their verdict before the doors
of their room closed upon them. For
hunger's sake they ate their supper
first. Then they took ballot, and
without hesitation every man of the
twelve answered, Guilty of muir
der in the first Degree" But, how
ever atrocious the crime, however
fiendish the criminal, it is hard to
send man to the gallows in one min
ute's time. So, for decency's sake,
they talked about the case for a
seemly period-about an hour and
half. Then word was sent into court
that they had agreed. This was at
8:15 o'clock. 1t took half-hour to
get the court in readiness to receive
the verdict. Such things are not
done too quickly.
! Holmes spoke to his counsel, Rotan
| and Shoemaker, in the cell room be-
fore he was taken back to Moyamen-
sing prison. To them he said: II
| feel that this condemns me. 1t was
an unjust trial"
| He would say no more than that.
| Immediately after the announce
ment of the verdict the usual ap-
| plication for leave to file motion
| for a new trial was made. District
| Attorney Graham did not oppose
the motion, and Judge Arnold fixed
the 18th of this month for a hear
ing. The principal reason urged will
be lack of time for the preparation
of the defense. Should new trial be
refused an appeal will be taken to
the supreme court, and argument
heard at it's next sitting in this city,
in January. 1886. SO, even if, every
! thing goes against him, Holmes has
| yet some time to spend on the earth
from which he is alleged to have sent
so many fellow mortals.
IT WAS A SURPRISE.
!! The verdict was not a surpise to
many persons, who did not believe
! the crime had been fastened upon
| Holmes beyond a reasonable doubt.
! When these heard, they said, "Well,
it was on general principles and is
just as good" That is not the mean
ing of the law, but in this case every
body agrees that "it's just as good"
| There is no word of pity or sympa-
thy for the condemned felon. He is
! regarded as a menace to society. Up
in Gilmanton, N. H, there are two
/ old people, his father and mother.
| And he has also two brothers and
| two sisters. Not one of his kin was
heard from during the trial.
When the jury went out an ir-
definite recess was taken. Judge Ar

felt and talked about throughout the
country.
In twelve states the citizens are
about to cast their ballots, and in
six of these governors are to be
elected. The territory of Utah is
preparing to take on statehood, and
has arranged to elect an entire state
ticket from governor down.
The campaigns that are just draw
ing to a close in the different states
are far more interesting than they
usually are in an "off-year."
The issues are purely local in most
cases. This always gives zest to the
contest. There have been years
when the state campaigns excited
but little attention beyond their bor-
ders, and only the round numbers Of
the results were of intere5t. This
year it is different. Democratic man
ayers are predicting that the land
slide of last fall is not going to be
repeated. The Republican predict
that it will be felt with more force
than ever. AS Pudd'n'head Wilson
says:
"It is we'll that people differ in
opinion. If they didn't, what would
politics and horse racing amount to-"
The issues are varied in each state.
Religion is mixed with other ques-
tions in at least two states and there
is race issue in another. This has
brought out some redhot speech
| making. The old time-honored now
e-up-the-question : of steel
| rails style of oratory has been in
dulged in but little this fall.
The patient voter has not been
asked to consider the intricacies of
pearl button or tin plate manutart-
ure, and "our infant industries have
not been rocked by the stump or
ator with such assiduous care as
| they used to be.
The average citizeneis glad Of it.
| He likes to hear the opposing candi-
| date raked fore and aft with a
broadside of "bitter invective and
personal abuse as the editorial writ
ers on the scored side term it. lie
|
being told that "a ring of Infamous
scoundrels is in possession Of the
affairs of our state" than by the
quoting of solid nonpareil table Of
statistics foot long.
When the returns are all in and
the complexion of the various state
legislatures is determined, the prob
able fate will also be known of
twenty-nine senators, whose terms
expire next year.
NEW YORK'S PICTURESQUE
CAMPAIGN.
In New York state the campaign
has been truly picturesque. The
question of Sunday liquor selling has
been the most prominent issue.
AS no governor is to be elected this
year and as no other serious issue
was brought out, the campaign has
been comparatively quiet. The De-
mocracy hopes to regain control of
the legislature, and the Republicans
expect to stay in power.
In New York city the contest has
been novel, unique and fairly hilari-
Gus. Even the ballot itself looks like
a comic weekly. Under the new law
each party and faction is allowed to
print the names of it's candidates in
a separate column and to print at the

MASSACHUSETTS,.

are not of such great Importance but
that tariff discussions are somewhat
INDUCED in.
Still the campaign is rather inter-
esting. If the Democrats overcome
the big Republican majority
with which Mr.. Mckinley was
seated, it is probable that Senator
Brice will succeed himself This is
by no means certain, though, for
Campbell has said that the race was
open to any Democrat in the state.
The Democrats allege that all is har-
mony in their ranks. They are MAX
ing a point of the fact that Gov. Nc
KinIey has admitted himself to have
been mistaken and ex-Gov. Campbell
right in a statement made by theslat-
ter about state finances. The adfnis-
sion made by Gov. Mckinley undoubt-
edly deprived Gen. Bushnell of some
good campaign material and added a
lot to the locker of his opponent. The
record of the last Republican legislat-
ure has been vigorously attacked, and
some of the best orators in the state
have been called in to defend it,
Senator Brice's millions and his New
York residence have been again a tar
get for Republican sarcasms and de-
nunciations. The Democrats are re-
taliating with anathemas for Cox, the
Cincinnati leader, who is painted in
the blacklist Of colors as a deep-dyed
villain and IAN Infamous boss
From a Democratic source also
comes the story about Republican
candidate for the state legislature who
is said to have offered to vote for
Senator Brice for s1,5OO in cash. The
accused candidate is a minister, by
the way, and the letter he is alleged
to have written to the Democratic
state executive committee has been
widely exploited in the Democratic
papers.
With such material as this has the
campaign been made an exciting one.
Every city and town has had it's ral-
lies, and both the orators and the
brass bands are glad that the end Is
near. While the Democratic hosts
have been singing "The Campbells Are
Coming" the Republicans have been
insisting that no Campbells are COM
ing this year. One favorite Demo-
cratic slogan that has been much used
is patterned after a college YELL It is
as follows:
Rahi Rah! Rah
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Three working seasons have now been
spent on the new public building which
is rising upon the site of the old city hall,
a picture of which primitive structure
now constitutes the seal of the city.
During the summer of '93 the base
ment walls were built; in '94 the walls
of the superstructure began to show
above the fence that surrounds the pile;
and during the present season the
work of laying the granite has pro-
gressed to point where there is not
great deal left to be done, except on
the round-tower chimney which is to
tbe the feature of the northwest Corner.
This will probably go twenty feet higf-
er than it is at present.
The United States government always
takes plenty of time to do its pubic
work. But in this case it has been

more than usually slow, probably be-
cause of the inadequacy of the force
in the Office of the supervising archi-
tect in Washington. A serious cause
of delay, too, has been the slow delivery
of necessary structural iron. The stone
work is now, and nearly always has
been, story in advance Of the iron
work Then there is the uncertainty of
the plans, which Supervising Architect
Bassford says he receives little by
little. He informed a G b e reporter
that he does not yet know the roof
plan, and in fact seemed unable to give
any information of definite or intel
ligible character.
A visit to the inclosure in which the
building is being erected reveals little
beyond a great pile of dressed st.

pond with those on the street floor.
Should an additional appropriation be
secured, together with the alteration
in the plan which has been proposed,
this Sixth street arrangement will, of
course, be simply back door entrance
for the employees and landing place
for the coming and going mail wagons.
As to the date when the building is
likely to be completed, no one seems
able to make a guess on which he would
care to be quoted. From appearances,
however, at least three more seasons
will be required to put the st. Paul
public building in readiness for oc-
cupancy.

to the top of the fourth story. The
contractors, Hennessy & Cox, have
enough men at work to keep well up to
the possibilities under the plans; but
the force looks small when scattered
over the big structure. Little idea can
as yet be obtained of how many rooms
there will be, or their arrangement.
The much-talked-of Sixth street front
makes but poor showing as it stands.
1t is in fact, merely intended as place
for the shipment and delivery of mail.
The steps leading to the three small
doors on that side will be approached
over cavernous area, which will be
arched over on either side the steps
and which will provide ample space for
supply of coal. This area connects
with the boiler and engine rooms in
