at Least.

COLUMBIA. 5. c.. September AT

reported full returns. accounting for
total vote Of 6lilS. The backwood pre-
cincts to-day increase Earle's lead. Eare
now has 35.S2; Evans. 25.5t6. Earle's ma
ioritv Is TO- 266 out of this vote Allowing
a total vote of 5000 and giving Evans
the probable amount of two thirds Of the
outstanding vote. it Will give Earle
final majority Of $50 votes. There Is no
chance for a count out i'm the face Of
these returns Earle's majority Will be,
al the lowest estimate, 300.
Governor Evans says that while the
face of the returns show his defeat he
cannot afford to cOncede the election until
the votes are all counted. His friends
and lieutcnants cOncele Earle's election

HARRISBURG, PA, September g.
silver sentiment IS paramount in the
State capital tonight on the eve Of the
reconvened Democratic State convention.
OF the $50 delegates. the gold leaders thus
far only lay claim 10 il. and with this
overwhelming majority against them
they will probably not attempt 70 en-
force their claims for recognition in the
organization Of the convention.
The question az issue. whether the
officers Of the original State convention al
Allentown on April 18th should act in
their capacities at the reconvened gath
ering. was decided adversely tonight
by the State Executive Committee, and,
as "a consequence the convention to-mor-
row will have all the elements Of an
entirely new body
There is an absence Of enthusiasm, and
the customary ante-convention crowds
are not I'm evidence although ii is stated
that every county I'm the state Will b.

81. 81. Holmes, the greatest mar
dessr Of modern times, has made I
confession. In It be tells how and
Why be put to death no less than
twenty men. women and children.
He gives all the facts. He writes
- calmly and coolly and ramorse-
lessly as be murdered. He neg
lects no detail. He even gives a
account of six murders whom be
planned, but Was prevented from
carrying out.
Holmes announces himself % Z
professional murderer. Each Of
his murders was deliberately, care
fully planned and executed with
calmness and precision. He has
written about them % . great sci.
enlist would write of Z series Of
valuable experiments. He had
studied murder 10 Z fine art. He
had pursued it to earn . living, but
also for ito own sake. He used the
whole of his very considerable brain
power in planning and carrying for
ward very subtle murder plots, in
devising new means Of killing hu.
man beings. He points with pride
TO his work. He thinks he has
fairly earned Immortality, and be
could not die without letting the
world know what great man it has
produced.
He deliberately chose = career Of
crime when he was . farm boy up
in Vermont. He attended medi-
cal college to equip himself for the
taking of life, just 40 other men 60
to college to equip themselves fol-
the saving Of life. He was not in.
sane in the ordinary sense of the
word. He was simply q monstroua
pervect, a criminal degenerate, with
his moral sense exactly inverted.
He tried every sort of murder
poisoning, suffocation by gases,
strangulation with bare fingers,
beating to death with q club-every
sort except crude, noisy murders.
He never murdered by accident OF
on impulse. He liked to have
plenty Of time to think it all out,
to select the place and moment.
He took very great pleasure in his
work. He was too much of an art
ist not to realize that haste always
lessons pleasure and deliberation
always prolongs it.
Holmes confession will form q
volume which will be published If.
ter his execution. He says with
pride that it will be most remark.
able document in the history OF
criminology.

Taylor Brothers Must Hang.

A dispatch from jefferson City,
Mo-, March 31st, says the supreme
court affirmed the sentence Of the
Taylor brothers, William p. and
George, for the murder of the
Meeks family in Linn County, May
10. 1894. The court fixed the date
of execution for Thursday, April
80, 1896.
1t is said that it is possible that
the attorneys for the Taylors may
carry the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States. :.
William Taylor was a banker at
Browning, Linn County, and his
brother owned a farm in the neigh
borhood. George Taylor aud Meeks
bad been mixed up in big cattle
stealing case and about the same
time William Taylor became in
volved in an arson case, concerning
which it seems Meeks knew entirely
too much for his own good. Meeks
was convicted Of stealing cattle and
sentenced to the penitentiary, but
vas soon afterwards pardoned to
appear as q witness against George
Taylor in the same case. When
Meeks returned home he took up bis
residence with his mother, in Sulli.
van county. The Taylor brothers
at once opened negotions with him
to leave the State, and he agreed to
do 90 in consideration Of $3.50 and
q wagon and team Of horses. This
contract was made in the presence
of Meeks' mother.
On the night of May 10, 1894, the
Taylors appeared at the Meeks res
idence and loaded Gus Meeks, his
wife and three little children into a
wagon. Soon after daylight the
next morning little Nellie Meeks
wandered to Che house of Mrs. Sal
lie Carter, covered with blood, and
said her little sisters were down in
the strawstack. The strawetack was
on the farm Of George Taylor, and
concealed in it we're the dead bodies
Of her father, mother and two little
sisters. She was the sole survivor
of the family, and she bad been left
for dead.
As soon as informed of the pres
ence Of the child George Taylor
saddled . horse and went to Brown
ing, where, after hurried consulta-
ton with his brother William, they
both fled, and we're afterwards cap
tured in Arkansas. Owing to their
wealth they made bitter fight for
life and succeeded once in hanging
q jury. They were tried at Carroll
ton, and are now in Jail At that city.
