Holmes Convicted.

The brief trial and speedy con
viction of III. II. Holmes III Phila-
delphia will put to IN end one of the
most desperate criminals on record
in the annals of civilization. No
criminal has been able to put on n
bolder front and maintain his hard
hearted cruelty to the same degree
through out tho trial. He did not
even show any signs of humanity
when his attorneys left him at the
very outset of the trial, but under
took to conduct his own case.
Such hardened criminal ought to be
inflicted with the same amount of
torture and suffering that he brought
upon a score of innocent people and
especially the Pietezel family.

HIS OWN TRAP.
An Inventor Meets Death Exhibiting a
Fire Escape.

HIIc A-eCdPcs
B1NGHAMpToN, NY, Feb. Ia. Jacobs
of Lestershire, N. Y, advertised a free
exhibition of a new fire escape to be
given last evening from the top story of
the Ross block, the tallest structure in
the city. He planned to 20 down first
himself and then to lower a by
the same method.
Shortly after 7:3O Jacobs appeared in
a top story window, in the presence OF
hundreds of spectators, and fastened his
escape by a hook to the sash. Then seat
ing himself in a loop he cautiously
worked his way along the window ledge,
clipging to the sill with his hands. Sud
denly he released his hold, there wac a
crash of breaking glass and he fell, turn
ing over and over, until he landed on the
stone tagging, 100 feet below. A man
named S%ilverberg, who was standing on
the sidewalk WAS struck by the descend
ing body and rendered unconscious,
though not seriously injured.
Jacobs was carried into an adjoining
drug store and lived only two minutes.
He was 80 years old and leaves a wife.
The accident was caused by the break
ing of a hook holding the rope to the
sash.

master General Bissell's impending resig-
nation are again current. While he has
made specific denials that he was about
to resign, he has told intimate friends
within a few weeks that he would sur
surrender the postmaster g%eneralship
shortly after congress %adjourns. His
denials we're clean-cut, but are regarded
as diplomatic evasions by his friends
who claim to know the facts.
President Cleveland has held Mr..
Bissell in the cabinet the past year only
by the strength of their close personal
relations. but he cannot ask him to con-
tinue the sacrifice indefinitely.
Who Mr.. Bissell's successor will be is
co%njectural. Ex-Postmaster General Don
M. Dickinson and Mr.. Wilson of West
Virginia, chairman of the ways and
mean committee, are most prominently
talked of.
There is a bare possibility that in case
the bill to retire Justice jackson of the
supreme court becomes a law Attorney
General Olney will be promoted to the
bench, and the department Of justice
for which Mr.. Bissell has a prediction
will be held out as a bait to keep him in
the cabinet.

A SNAP.

That New York Republicans will Not
Surrender.
ALBANY, Feb. 8.-Edward Fl. Harri-
gan has been appointed agent for the
assistance Of discharged convicts. The
place pays $500 and is one which the
republicans have been threatening to
abolish since the commencement of the
session, as the sole duty connected. with
it is the disburse nent of $4,000 for the
relief of men released from prison.
From the fact that Mr.. Morton has ap-
pointed Mr.. Harrigan it would appear
that the reluctance of the republicans to
abandon a lucrative Office is stronger
than their desire for economy.
