EDWARD HEAToN,

August %, 1811-December 30, 1894.
This work of art was designed by a
native of New Haven, Mr.. Edward P.
Sperry, who is one of the associate ar
lists of the Tiffany Glass and Decorat-
ing company of New York, the makers
of the window.
Tt is a single lancet window, In which
st. John, the Divine; the Beloved Dis
cfple, is represented, holding in his
hands the Book of the Gospel, upon
which is inscribed the words: And we
have seen and do testify that the
Father sent the Son to be the Saviour
Of the world" while at his feet is the
well-known evangelic emblem, the
Eagle.
The composition, arrangement Of
color, effects of light and shade, are
very beautiful; the figure is dignified
and devotional. The drapery is par
ticularly interesting and very natural
istic We are told the glass used in
this portion of the work Is prepared
especially for the end in view, that
there is In the glass itself actual folds,
which have been taken advantage Of
by the glazier in the clothing of the
figure of the Evangelist.
The material used in the making of
this window is Tiffany Favrile glass, a
variety made to particularly meet the
requirements of colored windows, and
Is the result of a series Of experiments,
the outcome of a careful study of the
chemistry Of the subject, instituted by
Mr.. Louis c. Tiffany.

THE ERIocsoN,S HARD LUCK.
Another Explosion on the Torpedo Boat
Five Men Badly Scalded.

New London. July 1.-THE worst ae-
cident that has yet happened to the
torpedo boat Ericsson occurred to day,
She went out on the sound for run
when steam pipe burst, shockingly
scalding five men.
Steamer Cactus happened to come
near and brought the men to this port,
and to the hospital, Two of the men
may be fatally burned.
The Ericsson's career since leaving
her makers hands has been one long
series of accidents. She was built in
Dubuque, Ia, by the Dubuque iron
works, and at the completion was towed
from the Mississippi to it's mouth, then
up the coast to New London.
Since reaching this place she has
had no less than seven trials to deter
mine her speed, and on each of these
occasions something has gone wrong.
First it was some sort of trouble with
the bearings of her propeller shaft.
Second-An eccentric strap broke.
Third-A circulating pipe gave cut
and so on.
Each failure necessitated long de-
lay that repairs might be made at d
each failure entailed much expense to
both government and the boats build
ers. So many fiukes have occurred to
the boat that sailors have come to look
askance at her, and one naval officer,
high in rank and an expert in scientific
and mechanical matters, did not hesitate
to say last fall after her failure, that the
acceptance of the boat by the govern
ment would be little short of crime.
1t was expected that the Ericsson would
develop at least twenty-four knots an
hour at to-day's trial.

"1,LL SWING FOR THIS"
Thus Spoke Holmes, Suspected Slayer of
the Pietzel Children.

the Pietzel Children.
Philadelphia, July 17.--H. H. Holmes,
alias Herman Mudgetts, the New Ha-
ven, Conn, man, has, according to the
district attorney, virtually confessed to
the murder of the two Pietzel children,
whose bodies were found in the cellar of
Toronto house.
It was learned to-day at the office of
the district attorney that during the
two hours interview Holmes had yes
terday with three members of the dis
trict attorneys staff he said: 81 sup
pose Ill swing for this
This is the only remark dropped from
his lips which in any way would tend
to crininate him, and the district at
torney takes this as practical admis-
sion of Holmes guilt.
His counsel says that Holmes was not
in Toronto when the Pietzel children
were murdered, This, he states, can be
proved by Mrs. Howard, Holmes third
wife.
TorontoS July 1.-THE inquest on the
bodies of Ella and Nellie Pietzel was
opened last night. Evidence was taken
as to the finding Of the bodies, and then

ST. PAUL, Feb. 26.-The house was
out to go against time in its morning
session, and the two records it made
will be pointed to with pride for some
time to come In 30 minutes after the
session began the Introduction of bills
had been reached, and then that portion
of the mornings business was hurried
trough in such short order that IL bills
were disposed of on general orders-two
records for speedy work surprising any
thing yet accomplished i'll either branch
of the legislature. None of the bills
considered i'll committee of the whole
caused lengthy discussion but War
ner's state mineral land agent bill,
which occasioned bit of debate. Mr.
Warner explained that in one year a
discrepancy of $4,000 had been found
in what should have come from the
mineral tax, and this reason alone
ought to recommend the bill. Mr.. Rob-
bins objected to the increasing multi
plicity Of officers and thought the work
ought to be done by the auditors office.
MIR. Staples offered two amendments,
one Of them requiring $1,000 bonds of
the agent to be appointed, and these
were accepted and report of 'prog-
ress'' made on the bill.
Bills Acted On.
Bills considered in committee of the
whole were as follows:

was taken up and an even half dozen
bills were passed Three of these were
bills by Senator Wyman and one by
Senator Greer, the latter providing a
$1,000 appropriation for the improve
ment OF the national guard camping
ground at Lake City. One of Senator
Wyman's bills was to authorize boards
of trus tees for Young Mems Christian
associations, and another to provide for
the payment of wolf bounties. When
the house reached Tiers bill to amend
the banking laws, it was found that
there not two-thirds of the members
