DENVER, July 27.-The unfortunate
Minnie Williams and her sister, whom
Holmes is accused of having murdered,
came to Denver early In 1899 with
their brother, who was in poor health.
They took rooms at "The Devonshire,"
an apartment house at 1895 Logan ave
Aue, and soon became very popular
With the other guests. Minnie was about
Do or 20 years Of age, and besides being ap-
parently woil educated, was an accom-
plfshed elocutionist. She appeared for
three weeks on the stage of the old Fiji
teonth Street thenter as member OF a
stock company. Those who knew her af-
nrm that her feelings for Holmes, whom she
knew as Harry Gordon at that time, what
ever it was, was no headlong infatuation
for q romantic hero. The brother died in
she latter part of the winter and the sis
tors took the body home to Texas Holmes
feappeared in Denver some time after the
Worlds fair, and told several friends of
the girl that she had married and had
gone to India with her husband.

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE AND VIRGINIA ADVERTISER

The FOREIGN BooK.-A Washington
paper says whether or not the license
of the Virginia Jockey Club will be re-
voked by the Jockey Club will probably
be decided to-day, at hearing to he
given the Asaph officials in New YORK
on the foreign book question. II they
succeed in convincing the members o.
the Jockey Club that the foreign. book
is not located on the club premises, II
is practical declaration that the law
of the State of Virginia is being vlo'
lated, and it would seem that the log,
eign book will have to be abandoned
in any event. Under any circumstance
there is a strong probability that the
St. Asaph people will leave the Jockey
Club and cast their fortunes with the
Turf Congress.
A dispatch from Washington says
Pending action by the Jockey Club on
the matter of the location of the Tor
eien book at ST. Asaph, the Virginia
Jockey Club continues hopeful that Its
racing license will not be revoked.
The club will be reorganized, no
matter what the outcome of the foreign
book muddle. 1t is expected that Sec
retary Mcintyre, Presiding Judge Pow,
ers and possibly Starter Fitzerald Will
shortly resign their respective positions.
Secretary Mcintyre is said to have DIS
posed of his holdings in the Virginia track 70
Lynn & Wall the Baltimore booking and pool
room firm, and will III any event only remain
as secretary for another fortnight.

YEsTERDAY.-Yesterday was Palm
Sunday-the Sunday preceding Easter
and commemorating the triumphal en-
try of Christ into Jerusalem. Large
crowds of people attended the services
in the different churches. At st. Mary's
Church the ceremony of blessing and
distributing palms was observed, but
the palms were not of as pretty variety
IS have been used on other occasions. AT
ter the services many persons fashioned
little pieces of palm into crosses and
wore them on their coats or wraps. The
Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian
pulpits were filled by delegates to the
NJ. P. conference now in session here
and services we're conducted in these
churches as in the others, according to
announcements made on Saturday.
The weather all day was cloudy but the
temperature was mild.

FAREWELL SERMoN.-A large con-
gregation filled the M. E. Church yes.
terday morning. After singing and
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Dean, of the NJ. P
Church, Rev. Mr.. Carson gave an in
vitation for any to unite with the
church and eight accepted. This makes
$50 additions 10 the church during the
last month. He then read the SD
chapter of Isaiah, remarking that he
had read this at the first communion
service at which he had officiated in
this church. He also read Cor. 18th
chapter, after which he said: ~ will
preach short sermon from a short
text, the shortest sermon have ever
preached here or at any other place.
All present will be able to remember
every word Oft 1t was preached by
our Saviour and by the Apostle Paul
and certainly l may preach it to you.
At least it is all / can preach you this
morning. 1t is. Love one another !"
Matt. vi, "a. The services were very
impressive and all present seemed to
be filed with sadness at parting from
their beloved pastor The communion
service which followed was the largest
and the most touching scene ever known
in the history of the church. AT night
Rev. DR.. Tagg, of the NJ. P. Church,
preached an able and interesting SER
mon from Isaiah XII, s: "The grass
withereth, the flower fadeth, but the
word of our God shall stand forever"
He showed in learned discourse how
the works of infidels and skeptics and
infielity itself had changed, but Gods
Word had never changed. After the
sermon Mr.. Carson made a few remarks
on his four years of pastoral work here.
He said II have never in forty years
work met with more kindness and love
far more than I deserved. | have
loved you, but not enough to deserve
all your kindness, and the assimilation
between us has been so great that l can
hardly permit myself to think of part
ing from you. l have tried to preach
Christ as best I could. am but hui
man and may have made mistakes. If
so I ask your forgiveness" He then
thanked the people for their help and
stated that through their labors COM
bined with those of others who had
been among US the membership had in
creased from 500 to 775. He closed by
saying "God bless you. Good bye"

bridge shortly after l o'clock, and stop
ped every person who started to cross

until the mob of thugs commenced to
pour in. This was in order to keep
word from getting TO the Jackson City
gamblers that the raid was about to be
made. Lieutenant Smith, with Officers
TIGER, Hayes and Smith, of this city,
had appeared and practically surround

The officers dug everybody out and

was useless to object. They simply
