HOLMES IS SENTENCED.
The Murderer Condemned to the Gallows
BY Judge Arnold,

Philadelphia, Dec. Herman w.
Mudgett, alias H. II. Holmes, who was
c%onvincted of murder in the first de-
gree for having caused the death, in
this city, of Benjamin +. Pietzel, was
yesterday sentenced to be hanged. An
opinion denying a new trial was de-
livered by Judge Arnold. The opinion
was %concurred in by Judges Thayer,
Wilson and Arnold, who heard the ap-
plication for q new trial.
During the pronouncing of the sent
ence, Holmes ke9t his eyes fixed upon
the judge, but he did not betray any
emotion. He turned to his guard with
the remark. THAT is ALL and walked
out of the court room. The case will be
appealed. The date Of execution will
be fixed by Governor Hastings.

o THE SULTAN.
Many Of His Subjects Are Talking of
This Possibility.

Boston, Dec. IA letter has been re-
ceived from a Bostonian who has been
in Turkey since 1859. and has returned
after a years vacation in Boston. He
says that the minds of men generally
in Constantinople, Mohammedans as
well as on-Mohaminendans, are great
~ disturbed and there is q marked sui
lenness of expression on many faces
and q rudeness of which are
quite unusual. Most people have lost
hope of reform and Of any substantial
improvement under the present sus-
picious and tyrannical regime.

John Lyons, of Georgetown, went
hunting on Saturday and returned
with three fingers of his left hand gone.
The gun was accidentally discharged
and the fingers blown off. Mr.. Lyons

FISHER INNOCENT.
So Says the Jnry After Twenty Minutes
DclihcratiOn


Dciibcration.
When court opened on Saturday
morning Attorney John T. Lenahan be-
gan n of the strongest arguments
that he has ever made in court. He
took h evidence piecemeal, and spoke
on it, showing hat ii IA not a strang-
er hat lured Barney Reick away from
home on that night. Reick was a eau
tious a and would not leave home
with a stranger. aid carrying SO large
a sun of n There are two in
teresting scenes in this trial. One was
the old-blooded story of Jack Rob
inson, the other h proud n naughty
manner in which the minister of our
city laws admits he aided the defense.
Lenahan's announcement of Mayor
Nichols was terrible. He said Robin
son was a criminal. a murderer, but
Mayor Nichols is worse, for his unOf-
fetal and strange action of assisting
in the defense of the murdererS.
Judge Lynch's charge began with the
particulars Of the crime. Hendricks,
said the judge, has been found guilty
and is suffering for his crime; Jack
Robinson pleaded guilty, and is also in
the penientiary. James Fisher is now
on trial and Michael Kearney is in
the county jail awaiting trial and de-
fined the degrees of murder. The court
continued. The counsel in the case
agreed that if James Fisher is guilty
he is guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. The contention is that Fisher,
the accused, was in the conspiracy for
the robbery of Reick. The true criter-
ion of murder in the first degree is a
wilful taking of life. But you will also
remember that murder perpetrated in
the commission of robbery is murder of
the first degree. All the evidence
tends to show that this crime was
committed for the purpose of robbery.
and the guilty ones have committed
murder of the first degree. The prison.
er then is either guilty of murder of
the first degree or he is innocent. You
may bring in a verdict of second de-
gree, but it will not be in accordance
with the law. There has been much
said regarding Robinson, Hendricks
and KeArney, but you gentlemen have
only to Zeal with Fisher. If you be-
lieve from the evidence in this case
that Fisher aided and abetted Robin
son in taking Reick from his home.
that Is sufficient. even If there was not
a blow struck"
The jury left the room at 3.35. Just
twenty minutes later, they returned
with q verdict of mo guilty" Fisher,
who was in the prisoners corner, arose
as the verdict was given, smiled and
flushed with qualification, turned to
his lawyers, who were just entering

that Fisher be discharged n Court

bar, made the usual announcement

innocent of the crime. they should
come forward and say so or forever af-
forwards hold their peace.
Judge Lynch then remarked: "You
are discharged, Mr.. Fisher"
Court then adjourned and a number
of the lawyers. as well as friends of the
prisoner hurried forward to shake
hands with him, and offer their con
gratulations and later he went home
with his sister. The verdict met with
general approval.

Sent to the Home of the Good Shepherd.

Yesterday morning Mrs. Schoffstall
appeared before Mayor Nichols, bring
ing with her her daughter Efie, who.
she says, has fallen into evil ways.
The charge was proved and the mother
is h~alf-crazed by her daughters way
wardness and all pleading and prayers
for her have been unavailing. Effie is
only 16 years of age, a typical brun-
cite, well dressed and quite prepos-
sessing. Notwithstanding her tender
age she is old in sin, and has once been
to the Home of Good Shepherd, but it
appears, she is i~rredeemable. The
mother this morning refused to have
Efie sem to Jail and the mayor de-
cided to Once more send her to the Home
of the Good Shepherd. Effie begged
to be allowed one more trial at
home, but Mrs. Schoffstall refused. say
ing she had heard such promises before
and they had been broken repeatedly.
Efie will be taken to Scranton today.

ence to the public"
1t is precisely this kind Of politician
who In the long run does az much harm
as the man who Is personally corrupt.
The "boss" OF the first type will not
enrich himself directly from the public
treasury. but he will connive Mt every
kind Of, .trickery, aui. dishonesty by
others to attain bis end.
That end is personal success, the adj
mirntion and envy OF those struggling
unavailingly for the same objects, the
general exclamation ut his wonderful
shrewdnssb ana superior skill in man
aging men. A '''
Such a politician cares nothing for
great questions In themselves, nor even
for his party In itself-although party
fealty is his constant cry; he uses these
things merely as cards in the game he
is playing. The zest OF the game, the
exhilaration OF winning, are to him in
politics what other men find In the rae
ing Of horses or yachts.
The cure lies In the refusal of voters
to be longer used as pawns on the boss
es' political chess-board. That kind OF
politics Is what Emerson had I'm mind
when he said. "Some day we shall SUI
persede politics with education"

Probably few people are aware that
there still exists in England a manu-
factory Of gun and tinder-box flints
yet such Is the case. The same meth
DDS are employed in the mining and
fashioning of flints as in the stone age
with little alteration. In order to break
flint into pieces Of convenient size, the
worker places the mass on his knee, and
by a dexterous blow with hammer
shivers 1t into fragments as easily as
IL 1t were chocolate. The pieces are
then split into flakes, and these, In
turn, are fractured into little squares
which, with very slight trimming. BE

gun fiints are exported to Zanzibar and
other ports in communication with the
interior of Africa; but, besides these
large quantities of fiints for finder.
boxes are still made at Brandon. Tin.

ed with a colored badge, will receive at
tention at once. Numerous other cases
might be cited. 1t is in the care of just
such cases that the worth of a member
of the hospital corps is shown. Another
important duty at the front is the careful
examination of the field after an engage
ment to see if any wounded men remain
uncared for, or to ascertain If any men
supposed to be dead show signs of life.
At night these searchers are assisted by
large electric search light.
In carrying disabled men from the
front to the dressing station many make
shift litters are used, such as camp cots,
window shutters, doors, ladders, etc,
properly padded. A blanket makes an
excellent litter by spreading it upon the
ground and rolling up a rifle in each side
until there remains n space of twenty
inches. An overcoat buttoned up, with
the rifle run through the sleeves, makes
good litter. and two rifles with the
leather sings crossed are often used to
carry a wounded man upon.
Constant Dri1Is Necessary.
Constant drills are necessary. Visitors
to Fort Thomas last summer were often
alarmed to see half a dozen men lying
upon the drill ground and two or three
men working over each. These visitors
were relieved when told that this was the
drill of the hospital corps in caring for
men wounded upon the field of battle.
Large crowds would frequently gather
and observe with much interest the ex-
cellent drill the men gave under the
charge of the post surgeons. At one place
would be seen two men binding rifle to

should q negative attitude toward
the current religious teachings be a
hindrance.
Those who aspire to become good
men should be welcomed to she new
fellowship, no matter what their
opinions might be on questions of
theology or philosophy, Prof. Adler
stated at that time. All that was
expected was a sincere interest in
the moral improvement of the indi-
vidual and of society, and a willing
ness to waive points OF difference
and to come into fundamental agre e.
ment with others animated by the
same desire.
These views had been known by a
number Of Prof Adler's friends for
some years prior to the organization
of the society. Prof. Adler was at
that time professor of Oriental lit
erature at the Cornell university,
and when number of friends Of the
cause of ethical culture were pre-
pared to form society he resigned
from the faculty Of the university
and entered the field in which he had
long been DESTROYS to labor 1t was
labor of love for him from the be-
ginning and still is such.
At first the new society was the
target for much hostile criticism and
even bitter persecution. Like oil
new movements it required time to
be correctly appreciated, and in the
beginning it was misinterpreted.
The fact that the Ethical society
did not affirm any religious belief was
regarded as positive proof that it's
members and it's leaders were at heart
hostile to religion. But this wac u
mistake, and as time went on it was
perceived to be such. The prejudice
which the society at first excited has
nbated from year to year.
Some of those who were it's most
pronounced antagonists have become
it's well wishers aud supporters. The
change of attitude against the So
ciety is shown by the fact that the
legislature of the State of New York
has conferred upon Prof. Adler legal
authority to perform the marriage
ceremony.
