HOLMES IS ON TRIAL.
Faces jury at Philadelphia to Answe
for Murder.

Faces a Jury at Philadelphia to Answer
for Murder.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.-The clocks of
the town had scarcely ceased striking 10
when Judge Arnold, clad In the long blacl;
gown which was recently adopted by the
Philadelphia judiciary, entered and took
his seat upon the bench to try H. H.
Holmes for murder The prisoners real
name, Mudgett, has been so little used in
the newspapers that when 1t was read
out In court the audience which packed
the room had to think moment before ii
was assured that the trial it had come to
lear was coming off. District Attorney
Graham and his special assistant Thomas
w. Barlow, in whom the prosecution Ia
vested, were already in court, but a delay
OF fifteen minutes was occasioned by the
non appearance of counsel for the defense
William A. Shoemaker and Samuel Ro-
tan, young members of the bar.
This delay was only preliminary to the
first sensation of the day. all of which
may be summarized as follows: Pro.
testations and entreaties fora continuance
of the trial summarily overruled; the
sudden WITHDRAWAL or the lawyers who
had hitherto represented the prisoner, in
the face of thrcats of disbarment; the APP
pointment by the court of new counsel
and the refusal of the prisoner to &C
cept them as his defenders, and the de-
clination of the services of Attorney r. o.
Moon, but that gentleman, after learning
from the judge that he could not obtain
continuance, declined to accept the grave
responsibility. The selection of a jury
consumed several hours, Holmes freely ex-
ercising his prerogative of challenge, and
after twelve men had been secured recess
was taken. The afternoon session was
devoted largely to District Attorney
Graham's opening address to the jury, in
which he outlined the case in detail and
subjected the prisoner to scathing de-
nunciation.

RAILWAY WRECK AT ST. LOUIS.
Somebody Throws Switch and the Result
VIII BE Four Dead Men.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 30. - Two suburban
trains on the Missouri Pacific road, one
loaded down with suburbanites returning
home from the theaters of this city, and
the other coming into town, collided within
the city limits about midnight. A bad
wreck resulted, both engineers being
killed and both firemen-True and Dunbar
being fatally hurt.
The collision took place at the Kings
Highway and Manchester road. Ths two
trains dashed into each other around q
sharp curve and without warning the
engines were ditched by the fearful force
of the collision. Somebody threw the
switch at Grand avenue, throwing the
east-bound train onto the west bound
track without notifying either of the con
ductors.
The engineers names were John Harper
and Ed. Cattrin. Conductor Feldott and
two passengers were gore or less injured
