Sensational Scenes In Judge Arnold's Court at Philadelphia. HOLMES CONDUCTS HIS OWN CASE While Sparring for a Postponement the Prisoner Dismisses His Counsel, Who Will he Punished for Contempt for Withdrawing From the Case. Philadelphia, Oct. 29. Tho trlnl of II. II. Holmos, tho notorious Insurance swin dler niul alleged murdorcr of a uumbor of persons in various parts of tho country, who wus indicted hero for tho murder of Benjamin V, Pltczol In this city in tho summer of 1801, began boforo Judgo Ar nold In tho court of oyer and terminer. The prosecution is conducted by District Attorney George S. Graham, assisted by Thomas W. Harlow as special counsel. William A. Shoemaker and Samuel P. Kotan were counsel for tho defense. Mr. Siioemakcrtlicn asked for a cnntlnu auco of tho caso. Ho urged lack of tlmo, which had hampered tho preparation of tho defense "Thero nro three homicide cases Involved in this caso," ho urged, "and wo havo had only as much timo as would bo adequate preparation on 0110." Evidence, ho continued, to bo obtained not only from distant points in this country, but also from abroad, tho defense had been unable to procure in tho short spaco of tlmo left to them slnco tho finding of tho indictment. Tho prosecution had been working on its caso for 800 days, whllo tho defense had had but sixty. Under thoso circumstancos ho folt justified in asking for a contlnuanco of sixty days to givo them an opportunity to gather their wit nossos. Many of theso would present newly discovered evidence of such vital Import ance that Holmos would undoubtedly be acquitted of this charge. Mr. Graham vigorously opposed a post ponement, and Mr. Itotnu as strongly urged it. After listening to tho arguments Judge Arnold denied tho motion for a con tlnuanco. Sir. Shoemaker and Mr. Rotan thou created iv stir by saying in turn to tho court that if the judgo's decision was irre vocable they would withdraw from tho case, but Judgo Arnold declared that a member of tho bar who would withdraw from a murder caso on tho eve of its trial would bo called upon to show cause why ho should not bo disbarred for unprofes sional conduct. Judgo Arnold then ordered tho empan elling of a jury. Ono juror had been ad mitted by tho commonwealth when thoro was another sensation. Holmes aroso In tho dock, and in a high quavering voice said to Judgo Arnold: "May It plcaso tho court, I havo no in clination to continue with tho trial of tills case with Mr. Rotan and Mr. Shoemaker as my counsel, feeling that, lu view of their deslro to withdraw, my. interests would bo damaged. I theroforo dischargo them as my counsel." "You cannot dischargo them, Holmes," answered Judgo Arnold. "That Is for tho court, and If thoy withdraw from this caso they will bo punished." "If," continued Holmes, his tonos still moro trembling, "If your honor will glvo mo until tomorrow to secure additional counsel" "Wo will havo no moro dobato, Mr. Holmes. Tho matter is decided." Tho examination of jurors was about to proceed when Mr. Shoomaker again aroso nnd stated that tho prisoner absolutely for bado thorn from representing him in tho case, and declared that ho (Holmes) would examlno tho jurors and witnesses himself. Judgo Arnohl said ho would pormlt Holmes to question tho jurors if ho so do slred. Then Holmos himself took up tho exam ination of jurors, and peremptorily chal leiiifd tho first one. Tho second ono ho accepted. A 1. inis juncture Messrs. Rotan and Shoeniijkcr declared, that thoy folt obliged to withdraw from tho caso regardless of consequences. " You must tako tho consequonccs, then," said tho judgo, and tho two lawyers, with out further ado, loft tho court room. Tho services of Everett J. Schoflold and J. M. Fahy, young members of tho bar, wore offered to Holmes, but ho refused their services, and askod for a day's post ponement in order that ho might seo Mr. R. O. Moon. Tho judgo, however, again refused a postponement, and Holmes re sumed his cross examination of tulosmen, showing marked ability. Finally, shortly boforo noon, a jury was selected, as follows: Foreman, Andrew Hertel, shoemaker; Robert Chambors, carter; Robort J. Kincado, florist; Samuel Wood, manufacturer; Richard Johnson, painter; Lowls Rcoso, farmor; William P. Hanscll, wagon bulldor; James Konney, foreman;Linford BUeg,paymastcr;Thomas Sloan, driver; John J. Smith, onglneor; George D. Clash, soap maker. After a two hours' recess District Attor ney Graham began his opening address to tho Jury. Ho declared that ho had con vincing proof that Holmes had murdered Benjamin F. Pltezel. At tho conclusion of Mr. Graham's od drcss Holmes oddressod tho court, asking that ho bo allowod to havo a lighted coll during tho ovonlng and night; that ho bo provldod with writing materials, and that ho bo allowed to soo his wife tho ono known in this caso as Miss Yoho. Tho dis trict attorney declared that tho woman de clined to soo him, and It was finally ar ranged that ho should write to hor.

AnjArablati peddler entered a house on North Bowers street this morning without noticing a hoard that had been placed across tho doorway to keep a baby from crawling out t6 tho porch. The peddler Btumbled over J10 board, fell upon his face on tho floor, thobiiudlos flew from his back, over his head, and struck tho woman of tho house with such forco as to prostrate her upon the floor. There was considerable excitement and neighbors hurried to tho house In re sponse to tho woman's cries of "Murder !" and "Police 1" but when they arrived thoy found.tho peddler making profuse apologies and gathering up his scattered trinkets.

THE VICTIM HAD A CLOSE CALL I Nino Stitches Were Required for a Slash That Was Made Upon H(s Throat With a Knlfo-The Assailant Has Left For Farts Unknown. Martin Zwawich, a Lithuanian resident of tho First ward, has a gash on tho left sido of his neck which almost resulted in ending his life. Nine stitches were put in tho wound. It appears that Zwawlch was a victim of a deliberate plot to murder. Tho stabbing occurred last Sunday night on East Centre street, but was given as little publicity as possiblo in order that tho as sailant, who disappeared after the cutting, might ho apprehended, but clforts in that direction havo failed. Tho story of tho case as given by tho victim is that he was walking along East Centre street with somo friends when Enoch Stana wicz and Matt Usawicz and two or three others camo from the opposite direction. Thero was a general exchange of good naturcd remarks as tho parties met aud all seemed in good iiumor, but suddenly Ywawicli felt tho blado of a knife drawn across tho left sido of his throat. Ho dropped to tho sidewalk and two men in tho crowd ran away. Tho rest remained to euro for the victim. It was given out. presumably by friends of tho as sailant, that tho stabbing was done by two unknown Americans who forced their way through tho crowd. Evidence collected yesterday led to the conclusion that Stanawicz and Usawiez were the guilty parties. After several hours' search Constablo Giblon succeeded in arrest ing the last named man. Ho admitted that lie was in the crowd when tho stabbing occurred, but denied that he committed the act. Sufficient was gleaned to bo convincing that Stanawicz used the knife. He lias left tho town and thero is no cluo as to where ho lias gone. Zwawich is sure that ho was picked as a victim of vengeance for some trouble that took place several months ago. Still IIui-pllis? Yes can't help it havo got something to harp upon that lias tho real genuine merit, and that is Columbia beer, pure, wholosomo and refreshing. Everybody drinks it. Local Institute.
