HOLMES IS CONVICTED
Murder in the First Degree the Verdict
of the jury.

Murder in the First Degree the Verdict
of the Jury.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Al. II.
Holmes, the arch criminal of the pres
ent time, accused of at least six
murders and countless numbers of
other crimes, but never before pution
trial for his misdeeds, was found
guilty of murder in the first degree at
9 o'clock Saturday night. He took
the verdict calmly, and left the court
room as nonchalently as he had en-
tered it on any day of his trial. not
withstanding the fact that death
stares him in the face.
Judge Arnol6's charge was against
the prisoner on every point. In re-
1ation to the story of Holmes wander
ings with Mrs. Pietzel, he SAID: alt
presents the most remarkable picture
of the influence of mind over mind
that 1 ever saw. No novel ever writ
ten contains such a story as that of
the way this man dragged that woman
about the country in search of her
husband
The theory of the defense that
Holmes had discovered Pietzel's dead
body in the house and had arranged it
with a view to making the death APP
pear accidental was disposed of by the
Judge in these words: IF he were IN
that house that day his natural in
stinct would be to go for the police
He did not do so, but according to his
own statement, he dragged the body
down flight of stairs, burned it, and
made other preparations with a view
to making it appear that death had re-
suited from an explosion. After that
Miss Yoke tells US of his fight and his
nervous condition. F"
Judge Arnold instructed the jury
that any other verdict than acquittal
or murder in the first degree would be
absurd in the face of the evidence.
The jury retired at $50 o'clock and
deliberated until about 6:45 o'clock.
Holmes has given out lengthy
statement reviewing the trial, con-
Guiding as follows:
Early in my life I was thrown
much IN the company of an old man,
upon whom 1 grew to look almost as
an oracle. Often he would say to me:
He that seeks sympathy receives rid
icule. Bearing this in mind, and in
no sense wishing to appear before the
public as martyr, yet more for the
sake of others than myself, l ask that
for time, at least, l be dealt leniently
with. for in the name of Almighty
God and in the name of those who are
near and dear to me, I state that
have not taken human life"

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-John D. Rookie
Teller has given SO, 1000, 900 more to the
University of Chicago, as will appear
from the following letter to the trus-
tees:
81 will contribute to the University
of Chicago 1000, 600 for endowment,
payable January l, 1896. 1 will con-
tribute in addition $1,000, 900 fog en-
dowment, but only in amounts equal

as the same shall be received by the
university. This pledge shall be good
as to any portion of the sum herein
promised, which shall prove not to be
payable on the above terms on or be-
fore January 1, 1900"
Since the trustees have the utmost
confidence in their ability to meet
this requirement, Mr. RockefelIer's

MIsSOURFs COAL MINES.
The Decrease of the Year Not Very Marked
Some Facts of Interest.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo, Nov. A.
Charles Evans, state inspector of coal
mines, has just completed his report,
which will soon be in the hands of
the public printer. It will show that
there is marked decrease in the coal
output of the whole country during
the year covered by the report, the
decrease for the country at large be-
ing { 40 per cent, while the decrease
for Missouri was but 2-1o per cent.
1t expresses a hopeful view of the out
look for the coming year. Demand
and prices are both good.
The total product of the state for
the year was 2,2s3,0 81 tons and the
money received for it was 81, 675. $50.
The average number of men employed
during the year was 7,245, but owing
to the small demand for coal and the
excess of labor the wages were below
the average. During, the year coal
was mined in thirty-four counties in
total of 402 mines. There were twelve
fatal and fifteen non-fatal accidents-a
big decrease, and Evans compliments
the mine owners on this evidence of
the increased safety and the greater
care displayed.
