Foreigners In China In Great Danger.

London: The news received from
Hong Kong that an outbreak against
foreigners is expected at Canton seems
to indicate that there has been a re-
newal of the widespread Gnti-foreign
feeling. 1t appears that the Chinese
braves who were ordered to disband
after the war objected to doing so and
arranged TO attack the foreigners.
st. Petersburg: A Vladivostock COR
respondent telegraphs that the Chinese
secret societies are showing marked
activity and that they are enjoying
the secret support of many high Off
Gals who are themselves members of
these organizations. The situation is
regarded as being very critical.

Holmes, tho F,end. is Found Guilty.


Henry II. Holmes, the most fiendish
murderer that ever existed in the
United States, was found guilty at
Philadelphia of the murder of Benz.
+. Pietzel. While the trial was one OF
ecce nitric surprises there were no SEN
sations and when the state had made
its case the defendant put in no testi-
mony and after the attorney had de-
livered their addresses the case was
given to the jury, who retired to DELHI
crate at $40 p. IN. According TO one
of their number they had reached
their verdict before the doors of their
room closed upon them. For hungers
sake they ate their supper first, then
took ballot and without hesitation
every man of the IL answered Guilty
of murder in the first degree" But
however atrocious the crime however
fiendiSh the criminal, il is hard to send
man to the gallows, in one minutes
time. So, for decency sake they talked
about the case for about an hour and
n hall. Then word was sent into
court that they had agreed.
Immediately after the announcement
of the verdict, the usual application
for leave to file a motion for a new
trial was made. Dist. Atty. Graham
did not oppose the motion and Judge
Arnold fixed Nov Is for a hearing.
The principal reason urged will be
lack of time for the preparation of the
of the defense. Should a new trial be
refused, an appeal will be taken to the
supreme court and argument heard at
its next sitting, January, 1896.

Gadsden, Ala. several persons were
bruised by being thrown from their
beds and several houses were partially
wrecked. Near Charlestown, Mo-,

broken. The brick Methodist church
there was also badly shattered and the
plastering knocked from the walls of
many dwellings At Louisville. Ky,
three severe shocks were felt and all
the tall buildings are reported to have
swayed like reeds. In Cincinnati the
buildings shook as from a great eX-
plosion, and many people were flung
from their beds. st. Louis, Mo-, peo-
Pile were so badly scared that they left
their homes and remained in the open

10 Me1icans Burned to Death as Heretics


News comes from Texcapa. Mexico,
a small town inhabited by Indians and
Mastisos -breeds), that ten per-
sons were burned there as heretics by
order of the auxiliary town Judge. The
judge claims he was acting according
10 the viii Of God, manifested TO him
in an extraordinary vision, accom-
panied by certain indications of divine
wrath against beretics and people
leading immoral lives. The whole
population of TeXcapa seems gone
mad. All believe the Judge was com
missioned by the Almighty and
the saints to destroy evil-doers. They
point to the pile of bones on which
they profess to sec miraculously traced
outline forms of the saints who, on
advising the judge TO burn the heretics
left their images. Twenty-one arrests
have been made.
