II. H. Holmes, the arch criminal
of the present time, accused of at
least six murders and countless num-
bers of other crimes, but never
before put on trial for his misdeeds,
was found guilty OF murder in the
first degree in Philadelphia. He
took the verdict calmly, and le the
court room as nonchslently as he

trial, notwithstanding the fact that
death stares him in the face.
He I,u mn aoao that lano xnt
bring reports of fresh attacks and
outrages by Turks upon Armenians.
In some cases the Armenians are
alleged to have been the aggressors,
but 1t is usually represented that the
Turkish attacks are simply cold
blooded massacres. From Constan-
tinople comes the report that the
sultan has been completely terrified
by threats of assassination and by
the discovery of plots within the
palace, and keeps himself in strict
seclusion; and that the Turkish
army is ripe for revolt.
The French ministry have placed
their designations In President
Faure's hands. This overthrow of
the Ribot Ministry was Immediately
occasioned by the adopting, by a
vote of $40 to 211, of a motion of
the Socialist Deputy, M. Rouanet,
which criticised severely the conduct
Of the government with regard to
the southern railway scandals. The
resolutions adopted declared that
the government had made a scape-
goat of Senator Magnier (who has
recently indicted for completely in
corrupt practices resulting in impro-
per concessions to the southern rail-
way, and has fed, while shielding
others concerned in the scandal.
A factory for building improved
horseless vehicles of all kinds is now
being erected in Minneapolis. The
new enterprise is in the hands OF
the George F. Thompson & Son
Buggy Company, who expect to
complete their building this winter,
and to have their first horseless
carriage upon the streets of Minne-
apolis about March l. The carriages
and wagons are to be propelled with
gasoline engines. The engine oc-
cupies 60 little room that it can be
placed under the seat entirely out
Of sight. A four horse power engine
weighs only fifty pounds and will run
ten or twelve hours with less than
two gallons of gasoline, making a
speed graded to the will of the
driver, from q slow walk to twenty
five or thirty miles an hour.
A remarkable event last week was
the establishing by the Lake Shore
Railway of new speed record. The
distance from Chicago to Buffalo, $40
miles, was traversed in trifie more
than sixty five miles an hour.
This not only breaks the worlds
record, but there are one or two
circumstances of peculiar interest in
connection with this test. The
train covered a longer distance than
has been covered before by an
American train seeking to break the
record. Again, the performance
was made west and not east of Buff
falo, and shows perfection of road
bed on the Lake Shore equal to that
Of the New York Central. Again,
the joining of the two most recent
records shows that the entire dis
tance from New York to Chicago
can be covered in something more
than mile minute.
