 With Their Long History of Dark ant
 Awful Deeds, iiivaIed in a Mexican Com
 m"nity, here Ten "HeretIos" wer,
 Traced in Jail and Burned to Death n,
 Order of the Auxiliary Town Judge.
 CHICAGO, Nov. A special dispatch to morning paper from Pachuca Mex, tells of the burning of ten per soma as heretics at Texaeapa, a small town inhabited by Indians and Mes ti2os (half breeds), by order of the auxiliary town judge. He claims ht was acting according to the will ol God, manifested to him in an extra ordinary vision, accompanied by indi cations of divine wrath against here tics and people living immoral lives.
 When the news reached Mollango the chief town in the district, the president and other officials of the municipality, with an escort of sixty men, went to the town. They found the inhabitants in the public square executing grotesque dances In honol of the virgin of Guadalupe, the ruins of the jail, close to the parish church, being surrounded by the dancers. In this jail had been confined six men three women and one infant. They hac been roughly removed from their homes at night on the charge ore. ferred by the judges, that their lives were evil in the sight of God; thai they were enemies of the faith ana heretics whom God had ordered through his holy saint to be consumed by fire.
 This confession was coolly related to the authorities by the judge, who could not be made to see that he had done wrong He added that directly following the revelation God hac made the earth tremble and had bowed trees to the earth in shame and had spoken to him, saying that Texacapa must purify itself of people of evil lives and the horrible heretics by fire
 Then the judge related how he had executed the divine command by order ing his eoDstables to drag the sin ners' from their beds. weeping and waiiing to the jail When they were locked in the building the judge or dered his consta bles to set 1t on fire The eaged victims cried for mercy, bui they were consumed to their bones Only the massive stone walls of the iail remained standing.
 Twenty-one arrests were made, al. though the fanateal mob threatened death to the authorities. The mana cled prisoners were marched to Mol lango, where trial will be held. The whole population of Texacapa believe the yarn told by the auxiliary indge They profess to see miraculonsIy traced on the pile of bones the out lined forms of the saints who left theil images after advising the judge te burn the heretics.

 Answer For.
 MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov 4-Sherif M. H. Patterson, of Woodruff county, Ark, passed through here yesterday with J. NJ. Leslie, alias Ryan. alias Lewis, whom he arrested at Okoloua, Miss, Saturday. His chase of the man extended over 2, 200 miles. but then the crimes warranted the per sistent pursuit. Leslie Is wanted for two bigamOus marriages and certain known forgeries, with line of the latter crime the length of which Is not known.
 Some time ago Leslie met at Moody, Tex, Mss Buelah Carter, of Riverside, Ark, who was visiting an aunt there. Miss Carter is the daughter of J. D. Carter, president Of the Riverside Lumber Co. In June Leslie dropped into Riverside as a travelling salesman for 0rdorfr i Co of Dallas, Tex He was formerly in their employ, and had travelled for them in Texas and Mexico, but forged their name and since that time they have vainly sought him.
 After a stay of two weeks In River side, Leslie induced Miss Carter to elope with him, and they were mar ried at Newport. While Mrs. Leslie No was in Texas ignorant of the existence of Nos. and 3, Leslie's funds were getting low. and he felt that one was as much as he could care for To get rid of Mrs. Leslie NJ. 3 he fixed up d telegram, o~ts 1~i@y from Riverside, that Mrs. Carter was at the point of death. While her daughter was going to her he forged check on MT. Carter for S175 and on that went to Omaha.
 Sheriff Patterson started ont to round up Leslie. He first went to Texas and there found that Mrs Les lie No was living near Eagle Pass, on the Mexican boundary
 Hearing that Leslie was in St. Louis. Patterson went there. only to find that his game had gone to Omaha. From the latter point he was traced to Elk Point, $. D. There he passed under name of J. .. Lewis and was selling groceries for Haight S Co.,, Omaha.
 But Patterson was a few days too late and returned to Omaha Going to Haigat & Co. for information about Lewis they refused to disclose his whereabouts Tie sheriff WAS not to be so easily thrown off. and received a position with Haight t Co., Soon get ting into their confidence, they told him that Lewis was In OkoloAa, Miss; that he had s1, 900 on deposit with them. Here he also learned that Lewis passed In Nebraska under the name of J. c. Ryan and that his first wife had joined him in Omaha, they going south together
 Patterson then stated for 0kolona He arrived there yesterday and found no trouble in locating Leslie. He was selling groceries for Knight X Go. When arrested he confessed the crimes and said that the arrest was great relief to him as it was prefera ble to the suspense in which ho had been liv- ing.

HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST.
Four Dead Rodies Found in tho Ruins of Burned Sweat shops-Other Probable Victims.

Four Dead Rodies Found in tho Ruins of
 Burned Sweat shops-Other Probable
 Victims.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 1. 4.-When the smoll. ing ruins of the sweat shops in Pei. ham street, which were burned early yesterday morning, were searched. it was discovered that four lives had been lost in the binding smoke and flames. Three buildings were totally wrecked, and conservative estimate of the damage places it at sl00 000
 The position of the bodies tafler from the ruins and the horrible condi tion in which they were found show how terrible had been the struggle o, the unfortunates for life and how hopeless their fight before the swift advance of the flames. The three buildings took fire from floor to hooi as though their walls had been soaked in kerosene and all avenues of escape were quickly cut off.
 No one knows how many persons were in the darlSened sweat shop when the fire started, and even yet be heath the mass of charred debris there may be lying the bodies of homeless and friendless tailors who had found shelter for the night within the walls of the doomed buildings.

TWO PERSONS KILLED
And Large Number Injured In n Wreck
 the Baltimore & Ohio.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 1.-Two per sons were killed outright and twenty five or thirty passengers were injured by the wrecking of the Cincinnati ex press at Elm Grove, near Wheeling, or the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at 10:2C o'clock yesterday morning.
 The accident was caused by the breaking of flange on the combina. tion car which caused the derailment of that car together with two coaches and parlor car The cars derailed turned completely over and were badly demolished.
 As soon as possible after the aeci dent a relief train was sent from Wheeling with doctors, and the in. jured passengers were taken to the hospital
 The accident seems to have been one of those kind that is wholly un. avoidable. Great excitement pre-. vailed in the vicinity for time after the accident. That no more fatalities occurred seems to be due to kind providence, as the wreck was one O. the worst of its kind that has occurred in this vicinity for many years.

 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2.--Henrv II. Holmes WAS convicted of murder in the first degree at SIS o'clock tonight for the killing of Benjamin F. Pitezel. He coughed slightly when he heard the words:
 The jury retired for deliberation at 5:30 p. III. According to one of their number, they had reached their verdict before the doors closed upon them. After they ate their supper they took a ballot, and every man of the twelve answered, Guilty 0f murder in tIe first degree" But, however a1rocious the crime however hendish the criminal, it is hard to send il man to the gallows in one minutes time. So, for decency's sake, they talked about the case for seemly pe- rial, about an hour and half Then word was sent into court that they had agreed. This was at 8:I5 o'clock.
 It took half an hour to get the court In readiness to receive the verdict Holmes spoke to his counsel, and wrote note in the cell room before he was taken back to the prison To them he said:
 T feel that this condemns me. It was an unjust trial.
 He would say no more than that. After the verdict had been announced, the usual application for a new trial was made. Ihe district attorney did not sppoae it, and the judge fixed the 18th of this month for the hearing.
