ACTING FOR HIMSELF
Holmes Takes Charge of
His Own Defense.
His Lawyers "Withdraw from the
Case—A Continuance Asked for
and Denied—The Prisoner's Iron
Nerve Carries Him Unmoved
Through a Scathing Arraignment.
Philadelphia, Oct. 29.—Herman W.
Mirdgett, alias H. H. Holmes, was ar
raigned at the bar of justice of the crimi
ual court of Philadelphia yesterday to
defend his life against the charge of hav
ing murdered Beujumiu F. Peitzel in
this city on September 2, 1894. The
widespread" publicity giveu this sensa
tional case attracted a great throng of
people to tho corridors of the city ball
leading to the court room, but in antici
pat ion of the crowd of morbid people who :
were attracted by the spectacle of a
man battling fos bis life, cordons of
police guarded all the entrances and only
those having business in the court room
were admitted. The very opeuiugof the
trial furnished an unusual incident in
court procedure and was in keeping with
the strange phases that have made this
case unique in the criminal records of
the country.
His Lawyers Drop tlio Case.
Directly after the prisoner had been
placed in the dock and Judge Arnold had
taken his seat upon the bench Holmes'
two attorneys asked for a continuance of
the case. This request was refused, as
there had already been more than enough
of the law's proverbial delay and Judge
Arnold ordered the trial proceeded with.
Then the defendant's lawyers announced
they would withdraw from tho case. The
judge expressed his surprise at such un
precedented action at the beginning of a
murder trial, and told the two attorneys
that if they withdrew they placed
themselves in jeopardy of being dis
barred. Nevertheless, with tho prospect
of disbarment before them, the two
lawyers persisted in their refusal to con
duct tho case and left the court room.
Holmes Addresses tlio Court.
The court thereupon appointed two
attorneys the prisoner's de
fense. Although accused of crimes that
would revolt a barbarous savage, there
was something pathetic in tho picture
made by Holmes at this point. Slender,
erect and more youthful than his pictures
make him appear, and with an added
delicacy given his naturally clear cut.
aud refined face, by his long confinement
in prisou, Holmes rose to his feet and
addressed the court. His voice was
weak and quavering like that of a man
'who has been ill and hardly carried the
short distance that separated him from
the court.
His Iron Nerve.
He announced that lie would not ac
cept the lawyers appointed by the court
and that he would conduct his own de
fense. A hum of astonishment went
around tlie court room, but, alone and
without a friend by his side, his iron
nerve bore him up under the trying or
deal of the desertion of his counsel,
exercised his right of challenge and be
fore the jury was obtained eighteen men
had been set aside by him. Holmes sat
in the dock busily engaged takiug notes
during his terrible arruignuient by tlio
district attorney in his opening argu
ment.
Few Signs of Emotion.
An occasional flush that suffused his
check and ouce in a while a slight lift
ing of the eyebrows when the district at
torney became particularly earnest were
the only marks of emotion exhibited by
Holmes. When the district attorney had
concluded his argument Holmes re
quested that he tie allowed light and
writing materials in his cell in the
county prison.
Asked To See His Wife.
This was granted, and then Holmes
asked to ho allowed to see his wife. A
sharp interchange of dialogue occurred
between the prisoner and the district at
torney as to which wife he wanted to
see, and finally Holmes was driven to
say that it was the last woman who had
married him. This woman has refused
to see Holmes, but he obtained a prom
ise from the court that a letter should be
given her, and that if she would comply
an answer to it should be sent to him
from her. The court adjourned until
morning.
There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until tlie last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market, it is taken in
ternally in doses from ten drops to a
teaspoouful. It nets directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys
tem. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address.

PLEASURE CALENDAR.
November 27. —Sixth annual ball of tlio
Jnddo Progressive Club at Freeland
opera bouse. Admission, 50 couts.
Duck Shooting Conns High.
Hunters around town are having
much amusement over the work done by
two of their number last Monday morn
ing. A1 Zeistloft, of Drifton, and Owen
Fritzinger, of town, are old-time sports
men, and when they saw a bevy of fine
fat "wild" ducks swimming contentedly
in the water at Buzzard's bay, a mine
hole at No. 4. Wood side, they dropped
their work at the artesian well nearby
and gazed with longing eyes at the birds.
Unable to resist his sporting instinct,
Mr. Zeistloft hurried home, procured his
gun and returned to the spot where his
companion had been keeping guard.
For half an hour the woods resounded
witli the echoes of Mr. Ze.istloft's trusty
shot gun, and when the last one had
been turned over on the water the
hunters counted their victims and found
eleven to their credit.
Later in the day they returned to their
regular work at Drifton, where they
made the eyes of their friends bulge with
astonishment at tlie quality of game to
be found so near home. In a short time
the report of wild ducks spread through
the town and finally reached the store
of Coxe Bros. & Co. The firm deals in
tamo ducks, raising them for their cus
tomers, and one of the officials began a
search for their fowl.
He learned that the ducks had strayed
away on Sunday morning and had not
returned. He searched further and in
cidentally wont and had a look at the
"wild"' ducks which were shot that
morning. There he found eleven of the
company's birds, but lie had not the
heart to separate them from the gallant
hunters, and the latter were left secure
with their gamo._
However, Messrs. Zeistloft and Fritz
inger were presented that evening with
a little bill for thirty pounds of duck at
13 1 J cents per pound, and now they
swear that before they ever shoot an
other "wild" duck they will ascertain
the market price at Drifton store.
Little Child Iturned to Death.
Clara Kishbaugh, aged 8 years, was
fatally burned at her homo in Wilkcs
barre on Tuesday in an heroic attempt
to save the life of her baby sister, and
died that night in great agony. The
little girl had been left in charge of six
other children, all younger, while her
mother went on an errand. The chil
dren were playing" about the room when
a piece of coal fell from the firfi on the
dress of the baby, and the light material
flared up at once.
Clara beat out the flames with her
hands, and did not notice that her own
dross was on fire until the (lames got be
yond her control. She dashed into the
street and the passengers on a trolley car
which was passing ran to assist her.
One man threw his overcoat around her
and quenched the flames, but not until
she was dreadfully burned and the flesh
hung in shreds from her arms and body.
A liig Wager Offered.
Democrats all over Luzerne are confi
dent of electing their whole county tick
et next Tuesday. There Is no longer
any doubt about the judgeship. Mr.
McLean's election is a foregone conclu
sion, and the Wilkesbarre Newsdealer is
so certain that it published his majority
by districts the other day. The Times.
of the same city, ventured to dispute
the claim, and was promptly shut up by
Editor Boyd, who offers to wager the
Newsdealer plant against the Times out
fit that McLean will be elected. Boyd
has the courage to back up his convic
tions every time.
Collector Herring Exonerated.
. Internal Rovonuo Commissioner Mil
ler had a conference witli President
Cloveland on Monday. It is said the
case of Collector Herring, of the Scran
ton district, was discussed. He lias

They Don't I.ike Their Neighbor.
A new resident over in Dennison
township has aroused the ire of his
neighbors by buying a farm, and they
are resorting to all kinds of persecution
to frighten him away from there. Some
time ago, William Thorpe, a wealthy
land owner and a railroad promoter of
New York, bought a tract of 1,200 acres
in Deunison township in a pretty locality
at the foot of Mount Yeagar. A large
>ortion of the land was cleared and the
farmers in the vicinity had used it for
>asturing their cattle. Mr. Thrope had
he whole plot fenced with net wire.
He built a cottage and barns and took
> farming on a large scale, but for some
mison several of his neighbors began
persecuting him.
Ten days ago 300 panels of the wire
fence were cut from top to bottom, and
urge pieces of the wire were missing,
l'horpe then decided to turn his property
uto a park and build several summer
ottugos. He had begun work 011 a fine
esidenco for himself when the other
I light his former cottage and two sheds,
which had been filled with grain and
farming machinery, were set 011 lire,
and burned to the ground. There was
•10 insurance.
Next morning tracks of a man were
found in the soft soil leading to the
house and back to a neighbor's gate, a
half mile away. Some traces of kero
sene oil were also found, and the neigh
bor's fence, it is said, had some of the
stolen wire 011 it.
Mr. Thorpe does not intend to be
driven away, and has engaged a Wilkcs
barre attorney to look after his inter
ests. The damage amounts to over
.$2,000.

house 011 Tuesday evening. The meet
ing was not intended to be a public one,
the object being to have some of the

ever, became so large that it was neces
sary to have a few addresses, and the

A Fu*t Train Next Spring.
There lias been considerable talk of
late about the Lehigh Valley Railroad
putting 011 a record-breaking train be
tween New York city and Buffalo, to
run dally and make the distance in
almost incredibly short time, making
only a few stops. It was thought that
the train would ho put 011 in a few
weeks, but it will not be put 011 until
the spring schedule, as tho engines and
cars will be specially built during the
winter for the fast run. Tho train will
average a mile a minute which, consider
ing the mountains, will be a great feat.
