Tho School Hoard held a special meeting last night for the purposo of considering tho nMl.U .t -1 1 lflnn.ln...

Tho flrst action of tho building and re pairs commiueo was lo suumn a wrumn re port embracing tho following : Wo havo investigated and considered the question fully (referring to tho gymnasium) and while wo express our pleasure at tho in terest manifested by our many citizens in signing tho petltlou and tho earnestness of our pupils in asking for such, wo regret to say that it Is tho judgmont of tho corumltteo that tho prayer of the petition ought not to bo granted at this time. Our architect in forms us that tho least possihlo figures for the gym nasium will bo $1,500, and our financial con dition at present docs not warrant such ex penditure of money." Tho committee s re port was adopted. Tho plans and specifications then camo up and no objections were mado to them, but suddenly a, snag appeared in tho way. T. K. Beddall, Lsq the Solicitor of tho Board, arose and stated that the Hoard was not in n position to isstio bonds for tho proposed work which is estimated at $20,000. Mr. Beddall fcaid: "Tho School Board has no right to in creaso its bonded indebtedness abovo 2 per coutuin of tho last assessed valuation. It has been held heretofore that it might deduct from its liabilities any valuation it has at tho tlmo, or any property it holds, but it lias been lately decided that this is not correct. It has no right to increase its bonded inuebt cdness, except by assent of tho people" Several members were ill at easo over this statement, among them Director Conry, who asked Mr. Beddall when ho had mado tho discovery. Mr. Beddall answered "I dis covered this within tho last two or threo days Mr. Conry : "Was it not tho law at the time this was proposed to bo dono ?' Mr. Beddall : "It has been held differ ently. Our court held otherwise that it could bo dono." Conry: "Was it by a decision of tho Supremo Court?" Beddall: No; tho latter decision is by tho Dauphin county court, which has been reversed by the Supremo Court hut threo times in tho last twenty years, and is tho court that passes upon nearly all tho consti tutional questions in tins state. Tho question lias not been passed upon by tho Supremo Court, Conry : "If our courts agrco with us I don't see any reason why wo should not go ahead. Beddall : "I wouldn't adviso the Board to go ahead. Director Leo called attontion to tho fact that tho Board had alieady executed con tracts with tho architect and heating and ventilating company and that they might ask damages. Mr. Beddall agreed that they could recover if tko work did not go ahead and damage could bo shown. Tho latter added that tho Board could authorize special election by resolution 30 days after advertising it. Tho county would havo to bear tho oxponso. Mr. Hanna said ho thought tho Board could build tho High school addition anyway and squeeze out the 88,000 for it without in creasing tho mill rate, or holding a special election, and tho Whito street school build ing could go over until next spring, necessary. Mr. Kd wards was not in favor of tho idea. Ho said the $8,000 would really only give tho Board one more school room, whilo $10,000 would erect tho Whito street building and ctvo six adltioual rooms. Finally a motiou by Mr. Hanna that tho plans for tho High school addition bo referred to tho building and repairs committee with instructions to advertise for bids for tlie Jlign sciiool au dition was carried. Mr. Conry said ho understood before tho meeting was held that there was a movement in tho town to oppose tho Hoard on tho build ing question and tho party who informed him had been asked to sign a petition to that effect. Ho added that if tho citizens of Shen andoah don't want another school tho Board would liko to know it. It was decided to adjourn tho meeting at the call of tho chair.

KILLED TWENTY-SEYEN PEOPLE And If the Fiend's Statement is to be Be lieved, Had Arranged to Murder Half a Dozen Others Says Ho Was "Born With the Devil In Him." Philadelphia, April 11. Assistant Dis trict Attorney Barlow today announced that all tho gruesomo rollcs thnt figured in tho trial of H. II. Holmos for tho mur der of Benjamin F. Pltozelwlll bo shipped to Airs. Pltozel, nt Galva, Ills., as soon as tho law has finally disposed of tho mur derer. Thoy will Include, besides Pltezel's picture, tho fragmentary remains of the threo murdered children. Mrs. Pltczel, within tho past fow days, requested her counsel hero to arrango for tho shipment, so thnt sho might glvo decent interment to what was loft of hor dead little onos. Mrs. Pltozel ulro inquires If sho cannot obtain nil or part of tho monoy taken from her by Holmes while ho was taking hor about tho country. This Is interesting In vlow of tho statement that Holmes has receive! a largo sum for his allegod con fession. Mrs. Pltezol's counsel would not stato whether any judgmont would bo en tered against Holmes, but it is bollovcd nothing will bo dono. Sirs. Pitczel also Inquires if steps cannot bo taken to com pol Lawyer Jopthu D. IIowo, of St. Louis, Holmos' nlleged co-consplrator In tho in surance swindle, to return tho $2,500 sho alleges ho obtained from hor. Her couusol is now considering just what stops to tako In both thoso matters. ThoNorth American this mornlngprluts what purports to bo soutoncos from tho confession nllogod to have been mado by Holmes. Among other things it says: Holmes writes of his blood curdling at rocities with nu abandon that is simply nppalling. Not a grain of remorse seems to outer into tho statement. Regret Is never for n moment oxprossed. In only two cases does ho admit tho element of pathos, and thou but slightingly ono whoro ho refers to tho memory of Mlnnlo Williams, and ono whoro ho speaks of an outrage perpetrated on his boy, for whoso education ho wroto and sold his conies slon. riven now ho bollovcs that tho evil spirit Is tho guiding gouius of his destiny. Ho believes ho is fully under tho spell of the damned, and dosplto ail assertions to tho contrary bollovo ho Is lost hopolossly. "Yes, I was born with tho dovll In mo,' says ho in ono part of his confession. "1 could not holp tho fact that I was a mur derer any more than tho poet can holp tho inspiration to song, nor tho ambition of an intellectual man to bo great, l was boin with tho ovil ono standing as my sponsor bosldo tho bed whoro I was ushered Into the world, uud ho has boon nigh mo sltico, "Whoro other hearts woro touched with pity, mluo was Ailed with cruelty, and whoro in others tho feeling was Jo savo llfo, I revolod in tho thought of destroying tho same. This inclination came to mo In early llfo. I remember when a mere-lad my ambition was to study medicine, that I might know tho relative ellcct or poison ous gasosj that I might fully bocomo ac quainted with their uses, and learn to bo an oxpert In Handling tuom. "I am convinced that since my impris onment I havo changed woofully and gruosomcly from what I formerly was In feature and flguro. From what 1 cuu seo I bollovo fully that I am growing to re semble the dovll," Holmes' confession from this on speaks of his early experiences, of his boyhood days on tho farm up in Vermont, and tho lire ho led until no ontorou college m Michigan to study modlclno. When he once began murdering, ho ad mits himself, ho was ruthless, und novor once halted until ho took twenty-soven lives.- ''And I would havo committed six othorsvf'.hoadds, "had not certain occur rences inturvoucd. I had planned them. nnd wus several times about to carry them out whon something Intervened." Possibly ono of tho most brutal, revolt ing and disgusting crimes this arch muti lator ovor committed was ono ho speaks of in a chapter dovoted to his hoy tho son of his first wife, whom lio married In Wow Knglaud whilo but a youth. "It was shortly nftor I was married," ho, declares, "when our boy was then but a youngstor, playing about with lads of his own size and ago, that I was seized with it mild doslro to destroy. I took him out to n roar barn. I don't know what it was that possessed mo, but I took a surgical Unlfo along with mo." With tho utmost abandon, but with horoaud thoro un oxpras-sod sigh of re grot, Holmes then tolls how his own llesh uud blood wus made to submit to tho bar barous blado, and there and then was mutilated, simply to pacify tho cruvlngs of a murderer's hoart. Finished with that Holmos felt satisfied, and did not murdor his hoy outright. Holmos is determined to provont any post mortem examination of his body. Ho has written instructions to ills counsel, Mr. Rotan, to boo that no unnoeossury out rago shall bo committed on his body. Shorlff Clement says ho has had over ,000 applications from all parts of the country from peoplo who wish to wlluess Holmes' execution on May 9.
