cHTCAGO's GHOST CASTLE.
Why House Where Murderer Holmes
Lived ia Beinu RemodeIed.

Holmes Castle, where in 1895 so
many of the victims of the arch muir
derer Il. II. Holmes met their CHASTITY
doom, is to be remodeled and turned
into hotel, says Chicago correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Tn;
history of Holmes Castle since its orig
inator was hanged at MOyamensina
prison, in Pennsylvania, reads like /
work of fiction. Tenants have been Sc
cured for the gloomy building, bu,
their stay was invariably short, ana
grewsome stories have been told of I'm
earthly noises and apparitions.
Mrs. Charles Hines is the latest vic
tim of the Influence which is said to
pervade the building.
Opening off from Mrs Hines room is
a shaft or shoot descending to the sub
terranean passages wherein Holmes
prowled in the days of his dark career
1t is known that down this shaft he
lowered the bodies of those whom he
slew in the castle" to incinerate their
flesh and prepare their bones for artlc-
ulation, as was his custom. Since Mrs
Hines, who recently moved into the
fat, has slept in this bedroom she has
been disturbed constantly by one hor-
rifying dream, a dream which, with
unimportant variations, still takes one
fearful form of plunging down the
shaft. Strange to say, the dreaded In
fuence does not pass with the night
During the day, though she feels Who'll
ly at ease in her living rooms, whenev-
err she enters the bedroom, she says
she is impelled by some irresistible faS-
cination to approach the window open
ing upon the shoot. At the same time
sense of terror creeps over her, fear
that she is about to fall headlong down
that via dolorosa which in the past
probably engulfed the forms Of Minnie
and Annie Williams, Mrs Julia L. Con-
nor and her daughter Pearl, Miss Eme
line Sigrand and perhaps others OF
whom no record remains.

WAR GAME ON BIG SCALE.
American Navy Will Excel All Records
In Caribbean EVolutlOns.

Within a few weeks there will be
assembled in the Caribbean sea the
most formidab BILE fleet of American war
ships ever brought together, says a
Washington special to the Philadelphia
Record. Admiral Dewey will hoist his
pennant on the flagship as commander
in chief The purpose is to execute a
programme of maneuvers on scale
never before attempted by the navy
and prepare the officers and men for
service should foreign foe send feet
against the American shores.
A naval base is to be established at
Culebra island, Porto Rico. Admiral
Sumner, commanding the south Allan
It's squadron, and Admiral Crownin-
shield, commanding the European
squadron, are under orders to proceed
to Trinidad, there to rendezvous about
Nov. % Admiral Sumner will assume
command of the combined squadrons.
In the meantime the north Atlantic
squadron will proceed to Culebra is
land, when the squadrons under Ad-
miraI Sumner will proceed to operate
against the north Atlantic force in a
search or scouting" problem.
In the proposed search problem Rear
Admiral Higginson will be advised that
hostile fleet has left Europe and will
combine with another in southern
waters with a view to making an at
tack on some of the American posses
| gions. The search problem having
been concluded, all the squadrons will
assemble off Culebra, and, under COM
mand of Admiral Dewey, about two
months will be devoted to naval evo-
| lutions.

SOUTH cAROLINA'S GUN.
Twenty Inch TiIIman Complies
With Law Requirements.

The twenty inch Tillman has made
its appearance in South Carolina to

Charleston gunSmith. In this instance

senator of the state, who has made
reputation as a fighting man and the
originator and defender of freak laws.
The twenty inch Tillman, as it's name
implies, is twenty inches in length and,
weighs three pounds. 1t has a rifled
barrel and can be set with hair trig-
ger, though at present the regulation
double action trigger is used. The cal
iber is A The model weapon is

mand should warrant the regular man.
>ufacture of the piece may be taken up
The model indeed was made by saving
off a rifle of "A caliber and fitting it
with pistol grip and lock. 1t must
not be inferred, however, that the first
twenty inch Tillman is a rough carica-
ture. Far from it. 1t is a neatly fin
ished weapon and guaranteed to do its

inventor and the honorable gentleman
upon whose name it seems destined to
shed luster. The pattern should be-
come the favOrite dueling piece among
those South Carolina candidates who
thirst for each others gore.
The twenty inch 1illman is to be
worn in leather belt outside the coat,
or it may be carried on the shoulder or
across the arm. In action it should be
laid across the left arm, while the trig-
ger is manipulated with the right fore
arm. Naturally there is a good deal
of ''kick" about the piece, since it
carries a slug designed for an eight
pound gun, but that is one Of the chief
Tillmanesque features of the piece. 1t

conference in Paris, at which Mrs.
Elliott F. Shepard ST., will be present,
and that a reconciliation will probably
follow. In pursuance of this plan of
reconciliation young Mrs. Shepard will
be received on q friendly footing by

she has been fighting for ever since her
marriage, and the young mans allow
ance will be materially increased by
his mother.

pioded the first pound of nitroglycerin in an oil well. He built the first fac- tory in the United States near Titus vile, Pa, in 1868. Up to that time powder had been used to torpedo oil wells. It was then that an explosive that could be discharged under water was found in nitroglycerin. Colonel Myers father was O Philadelphia chemist and taught his son bow to make it.
 The first we'll torpedoed was on Colo nel Mills lease, near Titusville, and the charge of consisted of only two pounds. torpedo that would double the produc- tion of we'll was worth almost what the maker chose to ask for it. Colonel Myers built 42 different factories in different parts of the oil regions from 1868 to 1885, when he retired from the business. Only one of the original fac tories stands intact to-day. Myers made several fortunes and spent his money like a prince, but, fortunately for him he still has a snug sum laid by.

They state that when one would think it was the most dan gerous the explosive Is the safest. The smallest drop can be placed on an anvil and struck by the heaviest sledge hammer. and the hammer will bound back over the shoulder of the striker, no matter how much he may try to hold it. Some claim that it will tear the arm off, but this is exaggera- tion. Transporting the explosive from a magazine to we'll is not as danger ous as tinid people think, according to the shooters. It is transported in square cans such as are used for var nish. In preparing for shooting we'll, a long tin shell is suspended in the tub ing, and the shooter pours the fluid in as if it was water. It is not un- usual for 200 quarts to be in we'll shooters wagon on one trip. A slight leak in can may be touched off by friction and explode the entire load. If 1t should explode in the center of a town, every building would be reduced instantly to debris.-Indianapolis Jour- nal

 nett was dying and had made no will. and said if he died no provision would be made for her She made no claim then of being married to MT. Bennett. Subsequent to the death of MT. Ben- nett the witness and A. V. W. Waiter son, of Pittsburg, with counsel for the heirs, visited Dr. Hendricks sanitari- um, where Miss Biggar was. Hen drick, who claimed to be Miss Biggars lawyer, told them that Miss Biggar was entitled to the entire estate and would get it, or he would set up the claim she was Bennetts common law wife.
 John F. Hawkins, of Asbury Park, who drew the will and is one of the ex- ecutors. testified that when the will was drawn Bennett told him that Miss Big gar was not his wife. He intended to provide for her fully, however. After MT. Bennett's death witness had talk with Miss Bigar and she said if she was not properly provided for in the will she would set up the claim of being the common law wife of MT. Ben- nett.
 Secretary Tooker, of the Hoboken board of health, testified that on Fri day last Stanton told him that he had married MT. Bennett and Miss Biggar about two years before, but had for gotten to file the certificate. Stanton, so Tooker said. wanted him to testify that he (Stanton) called on him week earlier and told him that the Weber woman named as a witness to the mar riage was dead. This Tooker refused to do. The next morning, Tooker con- tinued, Stanton called on him, accom- panied by MT. Young, of counsel for the heirs, who, as 1t subsequently, ap- peared, was arranging to entrap Stan ton. Stanton, Tooker testified, asked him for a blank marriage certificate, which Tooker gave him and which he returned filled out with the request that Tooker testify that he found it in his desk. He also asked Hooker to make an entry of the certificate in his books Tooker said that he turned over the certificate to Mir Young, and that on learning of this Stanton declared that he had been entrapped and begged Tooker to swear that he was drunk when he gave him the paper The blank identified last week as the origi- nal certificate, and which appeared to have been altered, was identified by Tooker as the one filled out by stan- ton.
 No other witnesses were called and Judge Heisley then refused to reduce the bail and committed both the prison CTS to jail.

A DANGEROUS TRADE.

Nitroglycerin and it's peculiarties are little known. even in localities where it is made. People generally give it a. wide berth, and even a less number know how it is manufactured. Probably in no place in the United States is there such a great amount or the explosive used as in the Indiana oilfields. Indiana has four nitroglycerln factories, and they are seldom visited by curious people.
 The explosive is made from compo- sition of acids and glycerin. It is gener- ally pale yellow in color, and quite col orless when pure. It is odorless, and has sweet, pungent, aromatic flavor. If touched by one's tongue, or even brought into contact with the skin, 1t will produce a severe headache. A large tank, called an agltator, is where the fluid is mixed, and the mixture is composed of equal parts of nitric and sulphuric acids. Inside the tank are several paddles, like those of a churn, and it is here that the real danger in the manufacture exists. The paddles are put in operation. and a steady stream of sweet glycerin Is turned. into a. vat until 250 pounds are thoroughly mixed with the 1,500 pounds of acid. The chemicals coming in contact pro- duce an intense heat. and in order to obviate the danger cold water is run through pipes encircling and running through the vat At 85 degrees F. a red yapor, almost like fire, arises. If cutting off the supply of glyoerin in the aeitator does not lower the temper ature. it is time to say farewell. Before 90 degrees are reached nothing but atoms of the structure and it's contents are left.
 In it's manufacture water is used to flood the workroom, since a drop fall ing on the floor might lead to an explo- sion. Not a nail is to be found in the floor of the factory, and the visitor is cautioned not to drag his feet. Those who make the dangerous fluid say that & jar will not cause an explosion; that friction and fire are the only agencies by which 1t can be discharged. One may pour barrell of nitroglycerin from a high building to cement walk below and it will not explode but a small quantity of it dropped from the same height in a. can will blow the building down. A sharp concussion in- stantly touches it off. Factories be- come useless after a few years opera ton and have to be destroyed. The timber becomes saturated with nitro- glycerin and an explosion is imminent at any time.
 The average production of nitroglyc- erin from 1,5O pounds of acid and 250 pounds of glyecrin is about 150 quarts. About 16O quarts constitute an average shot for an Indiana oil we'll. While magazine explosions are not rare, the real cause of the blowing up never be- comes known. Those who are close enough to see the cause always go up with the building. The average time for a shooter or nitroglycerin maker to remain in the business does not exceed five years. Death is instant, and no one has ever recovered from a nitro glycerin accident. Bodies are torn to atoms no larger than bits of sausage. The wages of employees of the fac tories range from $125 to $150 month.
 Colonel William A. Myers of Bolivar, N. r., was the man who made and ex-
