INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 3O.-"For

HOLMES ON TRIAL.
The Notorious Murderer Faces His Accusers
in His Characteristic Style

The Notorious Murderer Faces His Accusers
in His Characteristic Style.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 90 - 81. 81.
Holmes, or Herman W. Mudgett,
which, he says, is his baptismal name,
was put on trial in the court of oyer
and terminer yesterday for the murder
of Benjamin f. Piteze1, in this city on
September :, 1894. Protestations and
entreaties for the continuance of the
trial were summarily overruled, the
sudden withdrawal of the law
yers who had hitherto repre-
scented the prisoner, in the face of
threats of disbarment; the appoint
ment by the court of new counsel.
and the refusal of the prisoner to ac-
cept them as his defenders; the decli-
nation of another lawyer to serve, after
being selected by Holmes and, finally,
the prisoner trying his own case-these
and sundry dramatic passages at arms
between Holmes and the common
wealths prosecuting officer were the
features of the day.
Holmes, who, at the time of his ar
rest in Boston on November II, last,
was a stockily built man of middle
height, has since his long confinement
grown gaunt and hollow-chested The
prison bleach has brought his peaked
face to death-like pallor, heightened
by the dark, elose-cropped beard. In APP
pearance, as hesat in the dock yesterday,
he was neatness itself The beard was
carefully trimmed, the hair smoothly
parted and the black cheviot suit wore
betrayed no spot or blemish. His de-
meanor throughout, save on one or
two occasions when he gave way to
slight bursts of anger directed at the
district attorney, was characterized by
that marvellous display of nerve which
has become associated with his name.

It Is Suspected She Has Been Consorting
 With the Childs.
 Kingston Jamaica. July 6.--The steam CT Bridgeton, which it is supposed was purchased in Philadelphia by sympa- thizers with the Cuban insurgents, has returned to this port, from which she sailed for Kainne, after having repaired the damage she sustained on her voyage here from Philadelphia. She reports that she sustained further damage after sailing hence. It is strongly suspected that when she left Kingston it was with the object of carrying advices to the tug George w. Childs. another vessel alleged to be filibustering. Yesterday sunboat chased the Childs off the north coast of Jamaica, and it is thought the Bridgeton. failing to find her in the vi- cinity of the appointed meeting place, returned to Kingston with a report of damage as an excuse for her reappear- anre.

An Exciting Evening.

Huntington, w. Va, July 6.-This has been an exciting evening with many along the ElkhoTn mining region, where the striking coal diggers were expected to create trouble. The men are all armed and seem desirous of getting the non union men at the mines in operation to cease work. Beyond hooting and brand ishng weapons they have done nothing so far and no property has been de- stroyed. The action of Governor Me Corkle in getting out the Second regi- ment of the state militia last night has had a salutary effect on the miners, as did the arrival during the day of lot of provisions, as the strikers have been on the verge of starvation. The Second regiment is still held in readiness to pro- ceed on special train should any up- rising occur. The reports sent out that the men have destroyed property is ab- solutely without foundation.

A. Horse That Found the Never-Fading Pas
 lures of Eternity at 4l.
 A few days ago there died in Dallas, Tex, horse at the age of fl years. This Methuselah of his species was the prop erty of Mrs. Daniel Cooper at the time of his death and had been in the serv- ice of the Cooper family for twenty-one years, having been given to Mrs. Cooper as a Christmas present in 1874. Dock was his name. He was foaled near Se- dalia, Mo-. on the farm of man named Brown, in 1854, and was of the Messen- ger stock of horses. He was a deep bay, with a star in his forehead, sixteen hands high and weighed 1500 pounds in his prime At the age of years he was sold to the Wells-Fargo Express company by Brown, and brought $350. He served a number of years with the express com pany, and was sold back to Brown for $75.
 Col. J. M Eddy, superintendent of con struction of the Texas and Pacific rail- way, bought him and brought him to Texas in 1873, and on Christmas day 1874 gave him to Mrs. Cooper as Christmas present. Dock was then 20 years old, and had reached the age when most horses are turned out to grass. He re- mained the family horse of the Coopers, and up to four or five years ago was as good as there was in the land to jog around town. Four years ago his teeth got so bad that he could no longer eat corn, and he was fed on bran mush, with sponge cake for dessert
 The weight of his many years of faith full servitude began to tell on his strength and he became sway-backed and very gray. Occasionally he was given an outing to buggy, and would proceed in a swinging walk, and if the reins were frightened he would trot for block CT two in sprightly way when he would tire out and fall back to his walk. In his last days "Old Dock had all that his honest faithful horse heart could desire given him by the Cooper family, and he was loved almost as one of the family. He grew feebler and feebler, and it was evident that his life could not be prolonged more than few days so to save him from a slow and painful death chloroform was adminis- tered by veterinary surgeon, and HOld Dock" sank peacefully to sleep, and his shade is cropping the clover in the place of rest, where the souls of faithful horses are rewarded
 His body was not consigned to the city cemetery, as is usually the case with dead animals but was given formal burial about five miles south of town s

Though Mir Stern has given financial assistance to the liberal cause with a lavish had, he has never distinguished himself as giver to charities a fact which places him in striking contrast to many other million aires of his faith and race. The queen honored the Rothschilds, the Monten- ores and the Goldsmidts for their acts of charity, but Stern's wealth has never been shared by the poor.

 The first informa ton that the world had of the disaster was yesterday after- noon, when Mayor B. r. Evans tele- graphed to this city and other places for clothing and aid.
 The heavy rain accompanied by a wind of a cyclone nature, swept down on the town at 9 o'clock. At 10 o'clock there ! was one awful torrent raging, and the water stood from to 12 feet deep in the streets. A half hour later, with the down-pour unabating. the buildings of the town were no longer able to resist the avalanche of water and began breaking and drifting with the current. Pike creek, which runs through the northwestern part of town, caught the debnis and the struggling people, carry ing all away toward the current of the river. The lightning was vivid and quick, frequently showing men, women and children struggling in the torrent They were clinging to broken timbers and cries for help could be heard above the roar and din. It was nearly mid night before the storm had abated, SC that the people were in places of safety They stood in water without clothing until daylight. In the early morning, after the water had in measure receded, and the bodies of the dead had been recovered, the survivors scattered among the farm houses or went to neighboring towns.

The majority of the court, the two associate justices, Pope and Gary, both elected since the advent of Tillmanism, rendered opinions dismissing the case, one on the ground of a lack of jurisdiction, the other on the ground that the complainant had ade- quate remedy at law. Chief Mclyor, who has been on the supreme bench for many years, and who is regarded as one of the most eminent jursts in the state filed dissenting opinion, holding that the court has jurisdiction and declaring the registration law unconstitutional and void, practically on the same grounds as Judge Golf.
