OLD UNIVERSITIES FRIENDS.

Many prominent southerners in
Washington gathered Saturday night
at mass meeting called to aid in the
work of replacing the burned buildings
of the University of Virginia. Secretary
of the Navy Herbert presided and
Postmaster. General Wilson, Hon
Holmes Conrad, Rev. Randolph Il.
McKim, and Hon. Gardiner G. Hub
bard were among the prominent
speakers. The interest of President
Cleveland was evidenced in the follow
ing letter:
1.-THE President directs me to acknowl
edge the receipt of your favor of the
Both ultimo and to say to you that while
he has great sympathy with the objects
of the meeting and hopes that it may
be successful in its purpose, his engage
ments are such that it will be impo ,sible
for him to personally attend.
Every truly yours,
"HENRY T. THURBERo
Bishop Keane, of the Catholic Uni
versity, sent letter regretting his
necessary absence.
Justice Brown, of the United States
supreme court, also sent letter re-
GREETING his absence.
Secretary Herbert reviewed the his
tory OF the University and said its
requirements always had been severe.
"The honor and merit system have
gone hand in hand, and there has
never been sheepskin awarded that
has not been earned"
DR.. William Thornton, of the faculty,
discussed the fire and its consequence
and eulogized "the tender women who,
raised within the shadows of the his
toric walls, worked like slaves, passing
water buckets and carrying out books
and materials"
Resolutions were adopted deploring
the destruction of the old buildings and
eulogizing the relief action of the
present students. They closed with an
appeal to all alumni and all the college
friends for relief. A committee of if
teen was appointed, with Secretary
Herbert as chairman, to organize with
other local alumni associations to raise

THE RICHMOND newspaper that has
recently, for some unexplained reason,
ioined its two Washington contempt
raries in selecting one of the two race
tracks in Alexandria county for especial
deuunciation, continues to expose its
Grass ignorance of what it writes about.
No matter what others may have done,
the proprietors of that track had NO
part nor lot in any change in the anti
gambling law; with one or two excep-
tons, all of them are Virginians and
own nearly three-fourths of the stock OF
their company none of them ever bad

the democratic ticket and subscribe
literally to the democratic campaign

defend their just and legal rights

Jackson City should be selected for

HOLMES CONVICTED.

H. H. Holmes was convicted in Phil
adeiphia on Saturday evening of muir
der in the first degree for the killing OF
Benjamin F. Pite eel in that city on
September 2, 1894.
Without having called single wit
ness to testify in his defense Holmes
case was given to the jury at forty-five
minutes past FIVE o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon.
Mr.. Rotan, in pleading for the life OF
the prisoner, said he had decided to
offer no defense, having confidence
that the commonwealth had not made
out its case, and that the reasonable
doubt in the matter had not been re-
moved by the prosecution.
Judge Arnold, in his charge to the
jury, said the evidence was entirely
circomstantial, but that was not un-
usual in murder case. He said there
was no doubt that Pitezel was murder
ed, and his charge, on the whole, was
unfavorabie to the prisoner.
The jury was out three hours and
convicted the prisoner on the first ba'-
Got. As for Holmes himself he pre-
served his composure TO the last.
The verdict was surprise to many
persons who did not believe the crime
mad been fastened on Holmes beyond
reasonable doubt.
AS soon as the verdict had been for
maily recorded, Mr.. Rotan asked for g
aa1e upon which argument could be
heara Tor new trial. Judge Arnold
hxed the date as Monday, the 18th of
Holmes spoke to his counsel in the
cell room before he was taken hack ~
Moyamensing prison. To them he
said: II feel that this condemns me-
It was an unjust trial."
