in the enclosure OF the stadion besides

young Greek named Louis, was brought

such as the Epic heroes OF antiquity
might well envy had they been here to
see it
The crown prince then presented to
Louis the magnificent antique vase Of
fered to the winner by M. Michael Brael
of the institute of France. The news of
the athletic victory was flashed all over
Greece and the whole country is re-
joicing over it tonight as over national
victory.

races and track athletics, in which the
American teams carried the Stars and
Stripes to victory in every event.

Marathon to Athens, about forty-eight
kilometres, the first three across the

Frenchman, and Larentis, a Greek.

favorite on the prestige of his breeding
and reported fast trials. The young
ster got off we'll. but Orestes fell back
at once, and, owing to being bumped in
to, was thrown out of his stride Early
Notice soon headed Amelia S. and won
handily. Orestes showed great speed
in the stretch and was rapidly overhaul
ing his field. Despite the fact that he
finished outside the money, Orestes ran
a very creditable race, and gives prom

HOLMES CONFESSION
Beafs the Earmarks Of the Sensational Re
porter's Work


PHILADELPHIA, April 10.-The
North American of this city will tomor-
row morning print what purports to be
sentences from the confession alleged to
have been made by murderer II. H.
Holmes.
Among other things the story says:
In prefacing the confession which COW
ers in full three newspaper pages, writ
ten in Holmes own handwriting and
detailing with a minuteness that is sim
ply at times revolving, the arch mutilat-
or and author of twenty-seven murders,
as he admits himself to be, states with
: something like pathos that he does so
simply that he may obtain enough mon
ey to educate his boy.
II was born with the devil in me. 1
could not help the fact that was a mur-
derer no more than the poet can help the
inspiration to sing, nor the ambition of
an intellectual man to be great.
II am convinced that since my i'm
pirsonment l have changed woefully
and gruesomely from whta I formerly
was in feature and in figure. From what
can see believe fully that am grow
ing to resemble the devil; that the osse-
Gus parts of my head and face are grad
ually assuming that elongated shape
80 pronounced in what is called the de-
generate head, and the similitude is
almost completed In fact, so impressed
am 1 with this belief that am convinced
that I have no longer any human in
me-"
1t was not until after he was gradu-
ated from the Michigan Medical coll
1ege that Holmes began his career as
murderer and mutilator. When he be-
gan, he admits himself, he was ruthless
and never once halted until he took
twenty-seven lives.
And I would have committed six
ohter MURDERS" he added, had not GER
tain occurrences interviewed"
One of the worst, most revolving and
disgusting crimes this arch mutilator
ever committed was one he speaks of in
= chapter devoted to his boy-the son of
his first wife.
II called him from the road" he says,
sand took him to a rear barn. l don't
know what it was that possessed me-
but I took surgical knife along with
me. 1t was simply the craving of the
murderer within me that inspired me to
make a Subject of my little ONE
With the utmost abandon and with
here and there an expressed sigh of re-
gret, Holmes then tells how he went
through the operation of mutilating his
own son. Holmes felt satisfied with
that, and did not murder his boy out
fright

THE GOLD BRICK SCHEME A FORMER RESIDENT OF PINE BLUFF ARRESTED IN
 ST. LOUIS. Allen J. Wine and His Wife, Known Here as Mrs. Peters, Charged with Attempting to De-
 fraud in the Old
 Way.
 

Thursdays Republic gives a rather sensational account Of the arrest of Allen ]. Wine and his wife, who was known here as Mrs. Peters, and for some time was the trimmer in the millinery department of the Kauf- man Bazaar. After leaving here Mrs. Peters married Wine and they rented a small house in St. Louis and lived there until the cyclone de- stroyed it and a part of their be- longings. They afterwards met J. 0. Kallal, who runs furnishing goods store and there the Wines traded occasionally. To the pro- prietor of this store was unfolded a mining scheme that rivaled the most dazzling ever told in the Arabian Nights. The story teller owned a mine in Alaska, and through the kind offices of Black Antelope, whom he at one time had befriended, he was enabled to bring away from the great Northwest untold wealth. The miner refused to pawn these treas ures, consisting of ore and precious stones, because he feared that 1t would give the snap away, but took the merchant into his confidence and wanted $165 for the purpose of re- turning to the land of Black Ante lope and being allowed to pick up millions in diamonds They showed their wealth to the intended victim. It was in a tin box and looked re- markedly like a gold brick and a variety of precious stones.
 The store keeper had advertised to sell his store and expected to start for Alaska when he told the police about the scheme and they investi- gated the matter. Wines wealth was worth about $4 50. Both hus- band and wife were arrested and placed in jail.
 MT. Kaufman, of the Bazaar, was seen this morning by our reporter and stated that he had nothing to say except that he believed Mrs. Wine is insane. It is understood that her mother has been in an asylum for years.

He didn't carry the goods to Mrs. Duncan, but took them home with the evident inten- tion of making use of them. It turned out that he had stolen the book. When searched at the police headquarters he had on his person a very formidable looking gun. He will be attended to by the magis- trates today.

QUEBEC, July 17.-Ex-Gov. Rus sell of Massachusetts, was found dead yesterday morning at his fish ng camp at Adelaine, near Grand pabos, Quebe c.
 Gov. Russell passed through Que bec in the best of health on his way to the salmon grounds in Gaspe.
 Grand Pabos, the nearest tele- graph station to St. Adelaide, is a little fishing place of only 300 inhab- itants and there are very few facili- ties for getting explicit information at present. 1t appears that yester- day morning the guides found that he slept longer than usual, and when they Welt tp wake him up it was iound that. he was dead. It Is sup posed that he died of heart disease.
 It appears that the people who ac- companied ex-Gov. Russell were his brother and F. Peabody, from Bos ton. Their camp was near the little Pabos River. where they had fshed yesterday, when the ex-Gov. seemed in the very best of health The tent in which they slept was divided into two compartments, and as the ex-Governor slept alone the others never knew he was dead until late in the morning when they Thought it was time to awake him.

He entered Har yard at the early age of Is, and imme- diately after his graduation in 1877 he began the study of law, taking a three years course at the Boston University Law school. He soon began to take an active interest in municipal politics, and in 1885 was elected mayor of Cam bridge During his three terms in this office he gained the respect of the younger element of his party, and when In 1888 he was nominated for governor. though not elected, he developed such oratorical talents and such an aptitude Tor generalship that the next year he was again chosen standard bearer. flercely and hotly the contest was Waged, the tariff being the main issue. MT Russell made hundreds of speeches, and when the votes were counted it was seen that he was steadily gaining, for, although again defeated, 1t was by a very narrow margin.
 For a third time he was renominated, ana this time was triumphantly elected, oelng the third Democratic governor of massachusetts, since the war and the youngest man who had ever occupied sne gubernatorial chair. Massachusetts Democrats fondly refer to him as the
 boy governor, y and he is universally KnoWn as Billy Russell. So successful was his first administration that he was renominated in 1891, and he was reelected, although every other Demo efatlc candidate on the ticket was de- feated.
