Thu Prisoner's Appearance.
Slender, erect, and more youthful
than his pictures make him appear, and
with an added delicacy given Ida natur
nlly clear cut and refined face by his
long conilncment in prison Holmes
arose to his feet and addressed the
court. His voice was weak and Quiv
ering like that of a man who has been
ill and hardly carried the short dis
tance that separated him from the
court. He announced that he would
not accept the lawyers appointed by
the court, and that he would conduct
his own defense. A hum of astonish
ment went around the court room, but
alone, and without a friend by his side,
the Iron nerve that has enabled this
man to leave behind him a trial of death
without a show of compunction or re
morse bore him up under tho trying
ordeal of the desertion of his counsel.
Holmes exercised his right of chal
lenge, and before the jury was ob
tained eighteen men had been set aside
by him. When court reconvened this
afternoon Holmes Fat In the dock bus
ily engaged taUng notes during his
terrible arraignment by the district at
torney in his opening argument.
An occasional Hush thnt suffused his
cheek, and once In a while a blight
lifting of the eye brows when the dis
trict attorney became particularly
earnest, were tho only marks of emotion
exhibited by Holmes. When the dis
trict attorney had concluded his ar
gument Holmes requested thnt he be
nllowed light and writing materials In
his cell in the county prison. This was
granted him, and then Holmes asked to
be allowed to see his wife.
A sharp Interchange of dialogue oc
curred between the prisoner and the
district attoreny as to which wife he
wanted to see. and Anally Holmes was
driven to sny thnt it was the last wo
man who had been deceived Into
marrying him. This womnn has refuse-1
to see Holmes, but he obtained
a promise from the court that a letter
should lie given her tonight and thnt,
If she would comnly an answer to It,
should be sent to htm from her. Here
court adjourned until tomorrow morn
ing. After the ad'ournmcnt of court,
Judge Arnold stated that he would not
press the ense for disbarment against
Messrs. Shoemaker and Rotan, In view
of the fact that Holmes had refused
counsel and would conduct his own
case.
PAY FOR A HROIvKN HEART.
Widow, Aged 50, Awarded $25 In a Suit
Afjnlnst a Trlfler of 70.
Maseoutnh, III., Oct. 28. Twenty-five
dollars Is the price a Jury iit upon
the broken heart of Mrs. Barbara Kast
ner, a widow of B0 years, who sued
riark Selbert, ased 70 years, for breach
of promise. She assessed her wounder
affections nt the modest sum of $5,000,
but the Jury, after wrestling with the
evidence all night, concluded that $25
was sufiicient balm. The evidence
showed that for a time Mr. Selbert
made violent love to the widow, and
promised to marry her. Matters moved
along smoothly enough until a hand
some widow from Lebanon appeared
upon the scene and laid selge to the
affections of Slebert.
With the Inconslstancy of his sex, he
deserted tho old love for the new, and
Mrs. Kastner, realizing thnt. her
chances were diminishing with ad
vancing years, dragged the faithless
but frisky old man Into court to an
swer for his course. The stories of the
courtship kept the spectators In an
uproar during the entire trial.

l'nrls, Oct. 28. The Rlbot ministry
has len overthrown by an adverse vote
on.M. Itouanct's interpellation in the
chamber of deputies, condemning the
jrovernment's course in regard to the
southern railway scandals.
The ministry which has Just gone out
of olllce was constituted Jan. 28, U95,
ten days after the election of M. Felix
Kaure as president of the Republic.
Like the ministry of M. Dupuy, the
Rlbot cabinet was overthrown on a
railway question.
The excitement caused by the over
throw of the government was all the
more Intense as the defeat of the cab
inet was, practically speaking, totally
unexpected. Shortly after the with
drawal of the ministers for the pur
pose of tendering their resle-natlons to
I'reaidcnt Faure, the chamber took an
adjournment until Nov. 4.
The resignation of the cabinet was
formally handed to the president at the
palace of the Kiysee this rw"lr. '

Thieves Cat so I a Postponement of tho
Immcrlon of Sovornl Converts.
Louslvllle, Oct. 28. A baptism that
was to have taken place1 Wednesday
morning at Oak bridge, In Grant
county, was necessarily postponed by
the work of a thief, who stole the
water. The country about Oakrldge Is
as drv as a powder-hqm, no rain hay
ing fallen in months. Th baptism of
sixteen converts had for two weeks
been anxiously anticipated, and all day
Tuesday an ox team was carting water
to what was once a small creek.
It . was dammed up, and Tuesday
night was about five feet deep. Water
was too scarce o remain'' there, how
ever, and Wednesday morning the
creek presented only a damp surface.
The water may have been soaked up or
evaporated, but wagon tracks leading
to the main road showed plainly
enough that It had been hauled off
during the night.

TALK OVER THE FIGHT.
It Is Now Thought That the Talking
Pugilists Will Certainly Engage In
Combat.
Hot Springs. Ark., Oct. 28. The mes
sages going abroad from the local and
visiting sports to their friends vary
somewhat from Saturday night, when
they read:
"Come on and take chances on fight,
or fizzle."
Today they are worded:
"On a trip from Hot Springs from
the inside sufficient notice of time and
place of fight will be given to enable
people as far distant as New York to be
present."
There Is considerable apprehension
that Fltzslmmons may be arrested be
fore reaching this county on the charge
of coming into the state for unlawful
purposes, and the mysterious attitude
of the governor's scouts here who say
that his excellency knows Just what to
do end when and how to do it, does not
tend toward allaying this feeling.
Among the arrlvnls last night were a
number of well-known sporting men
