 Crime.
 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4-Henry H. Holmes was convicted of murder in the first degree at s:5l o'clock Saturday night for killing Benjamin F. Pietzel. He coughed slightly when he heard the words. That was the only sign. The jury retired to deliberate at $40 o'clock. According to one of their num- Der they had reached their verdict be- fore the doors of their room closed upon them. For hunger's sake they ate their supper first. Then they took a ballot, and, without hesitation every man of the twelve answered.: Guilty of murder in the first degree" But, however atrocious the crime, however fiendish the criminal, it is hard to send a man to the gallows in one minutes S time. So, for decency's sake, they talked about the case for period seem- ingly about an hour and half

 WHEELING, w. Va.. Nov. 4-The worst railrond wreck in the immediate vicinity of Wheeling for many years occurred shortly before 10 o'clock yes terday morning at Elm Grove, miles east, on the Pittsburgh division of the Baltimore X Ohio railroad. The Pitts burgh-Cincinnati express, commonly known as the ''cannon ball." jumped the track on a,bridge over Wheeling creek, owing to a broken fiange on a wheel of the smoking car. The engine, tender and baggage car kept the track, while the mail car. smoker and Pull. man parlor car went overa bank about l6 feet high. The day coach turned completely over and the other two lay on their sides. The cars were com pletely demolished, seeming to have been thrown some distance through the air
 So far only two deaths have hap pened. A woman, thought to be Mrs. Miranda Hare, of Kittaning, Pa, but not positively identified. owing to the way she was disfgured, jumped from the car and was instantly killed. The s-months-old baby of Lawrence Bart. ley, of Pittsburgh, was sitting on his fathers lap when the accident oc- cured. It was so badly injured that it died in few minutes, while neither father nor mother were hurt. They were coming to Wheeling to attend the funeral of relative.
 The exact number of injured is hard to get relia ply. Nine were taken to the city hospital and three to the Wheel ing hospital, while number are at houses near the scene of the accident. Ten or dozen surgeons and the wrecking crew were summoned at once. Not less than 10000 people visited the scene of the wreck, the Wheeling & Elm Grove running spe- cial excursion trains, all crowded. Of those who were hurt several will die.

Calculated Power of Lichtn,n.

It is no doubt interesting to exru. the force of stroke of lightnipa ;a horse power.

To melt iron in this sbo.. time would be impossible in the lar,o.. furnace now in existence and if couIS only be accomplished with the aid os electricity, but current of 200 am peres and potential of 10000 vo. would be necessary. This electric force for one second represents 5ooo horse power, but as the lightnino ,, complished the melting in considar. ably less time, say one-tenth of sec. ond, it follows that the bolt was ot 50,000 horse power. r.-Barmer Zeituna

It's Condition Greatly Improved by the
 Rains of Last Week.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 4.-The fall of moisture the past week was confined to Kansas, Nebraska, Okla homa and the Ohio valley and Gulf states, says the Modern Miller. It was ample in localities only. Southern Nebraska was visited by 2-inch snow, which helped the growing wheat plant greatly. Altogether the plant shows a gain in condition this week, and there is corresponding de- cline to note in the progress of corn harvesting. The markets generally are not in as strong position as one week ago. This is especially true of the larger markets in sections remote from milling centers.
