PHILADELPHIA, Nov 4-Every one act
vely identified with the Holmes trial,
(which ended in the conviction of Holmes
for the murder of Pitzel took advantage
to rest and recuperate from the great
nervous tension under which they had
la5ored FOR week. District Attorney
Graham said as to the granting Of new
trial. he did not think the court, after hay
ing heard the argument, would do so, as
there was nothing upon the records of the
trial that would show an error sufficient
to warrant such proceeding In case
Holmes is successful in securing new
trial. both the indianapolis and Detroit
authorities will try to get him by extra.
dition and try him ON charges of murder
After the ordeal of the trial the quiet
monotony Of a prison cell was welcome to
Holmes and he spent the day apparently
nnconcerned by the death sentence which
hangs over him. He still maintains his
air of injured innocence, and reads and
writes when not absorbed in thought. \

Proposition to Double the Eureka.
Hill Mil CaOacity.

Hill 1IfI1 Capacity.
For some time past the board of df-
reetors of the Eureka-Hill Mining COM
pany has had under consideration
proposition to increase the number Of
stamps in the mill to- eighty. which
would mean the doubling of the pres
ent capacity, and it is not unlikely
that within the next month or two the
improvement will be ordered. There
are still some details to arrange and
number Of adjustments to make before
the desired action can be taken.
With an eye for the future the COM
pany provided g, heavy surplus of room
and power in the building Of its new
mill, and before leaving for Eureka last
evening Mr.. Packard stated, in re-
Spouse TO questions. that in the event
of the board Of directors deciding to
make the addition there would be no
difficulty offered by the lack of either
room or power, for both We're ample
for the proposed doubling up of the
plant. The Eureha-Hiu mill has no
superior IN the west, and with eighty
stamps dropping 1t would be by long
odds the greatest plant of its kind in
the intermountain country. The pres
ent mill building is roomy and COM
plete in its every detail, and with the
addition of the forty stamps would go
the addition Of half dozen vanners
and probably two sets Of rolls.

Attorney r. D. Winters has fled
suit against DR.. F. S. Bascom which is
of quite a sensational character.
The plaintiff alleges that on August
1e, 1894, he was indisposed and con-
fined to his residence by Illness, and
that on August II Dr. Bascom was
called to attend him and did attend
him until October II, 1894, but DIN spite
OF his treatment plaintiff by that time
was sufficiently recovered to dispense
with medical aid.
1t is then alleged that instead Of
defendant being a skilled physician
and being familiar with diseases and
their treatment he is grossly incompe-
tent and unskilled and has not the
learning, skill or ability to treat dis
eases or attend upon the sick; that de-
PENDANT unskillfully and fgnOrantly

which, if persisted in would have re-

/ typhoid fever, which, it is alleged. does
| not require d treatment of drugs, but
good nursing and little common
sense. notwithstanding which defend
ant prescribed strychnine, morphine.
patent medicines and like remedies
which cost about $40 and which greatly
endangered plaintiffs life.
! Plaintiff alleges that owing to- the
unskillful treatment he grew worse,
whereupon defendant confessed MS
. To-, {I1yyOO nh ryc1i
clans to learn what to do3 that one OF
said physicians told defendant to de-
sist from giving plaintiff drugs and he
would recover, but If he persisted in
his treatment plaintiff would die.
1t is then alleged that by reason Of
said unskilled, ignorant and crimfna
MALPRACTICE of defendant, plaintiff was

expense for drugs and hospital bills
