RETAINS HIS NERVE
Holmas Laughingly Hears His
Death Warrant Read.
COOLEST MAN IN THE WHOLE PARTY
A ltcmnrkal>l6 Exhibition of gang-Frold.
Joked with tlio Sheriff—Say* He In
Willing To Die—Precautious
Taken Agulnt Suicide.
Philadelphia, March 10.—That the
remarkable nerve which has upheld tho
murderer, Holmes, ever since his ar
rest for the murder of Benjamin F.
Pietzel has not yet deserted him was
well evidenced yesterday when the
death warrant was read to him by
Sheriff Clement, lie was the coolest
man in the party and gave a remark
able exhibition of sang-froid, lie was
as suave, cheerful and affable as usual.
When the sheriff and his party reached
the prison they were met by Deputy
Anderson and the party was conducted
to Holmes' cell. He had been reading
and when he arose to greet his visitors,
he tossed the book upon his eot and
smiled a welcome. Lawyer lioton in
troduced tho sheriff and tho others,
and then, without further ado, Sheriff
Clement drew the death warrant from
his pocket and proceeded to read it.
Tho spot in the cell where the sheriff
6tood was not adapted to reading owing
to a lack of light. Holmes observed
the sheriff's dilemma and remarked in
a cheerful tone, "step over to the
window, Mr. Sheriff, you will tiud more
light there." Throughout the reading
Holmes maintained an affable manner.
At the conclusion, Sheriff Clement,
who was visibly affected, turned to
the condemned man.and extending his
hand offered his S3'mpatli3' and im
plored him to make his peace with God.
llolmcs thanked the sheriff and ex
pressed himself as willing to die. There
was another round of handshaking
and the sheriff, the lawyers and
the deputy left the cell. As the
sheriff was passing out he omitted to
bow his head to clear the upper part
of the low entrance to the cell. Holmes
observed that the house official's hat
was in danger of collision with the
door and called ont: "Be careful,
sheriff, or you will bump your head."
This caused a ripple of laughter. As
the sheriff was moving down the corri
dor Holmes called after him: "You can,
of course, find me here when you want
me." Assistant Superintendent Rich
ardson will probably not remove
Holmes from his present cell for a
week, but the prisoner will be more
closely guarded. It is usual to set the
regular death watch about a week pre
vious to the day of execution. When
that shall be done the condemned man
will be taken to a better lighted cell
after first being submitted to a change
of clothing to prevent his having in
his possession anything that would
permit suicide. Lawyer lloton had a
long conversation with Holmes after
the warrant had been read, the sub
ject of which Mr. Roton refused to
make known.

BISMARCK DISAPPOINTED.
Din Now Grandchild a Girl Instead of a
Male Heir.
Berlin, Marcho.—Countess Bismarck,
wife of Count Herbert Bismarck, has
| given birth to a daughter* Prince
Bismarck is keenly disappointed be
cause the infant is not a boy. Countess
Marguerite Bismarck was formerly
! Countess lloyos. She was married to
Count Herbert at Vienna in .June, 1892,
and in November, 1893, gave birth to a
daughter who was named Jeanne.
Count William Bismarck, the prince's
second son, has three daughters. This
accounts for the prince's disappoint
ment. for as yet there is no male of tho
third generation to inherit the Bis

BROCKVILLE MOURNS
Yesterday's Tragedy Causes a
Suspension of Business.
THE INSANE MURDERER IN PRISON
One Man Dead, Two Mortally Wounded
and Several Other* Seriously In
jured, the Maniac's Work,
lie Himself Is Dying.
Brockville, Ont., March 10. —Brock
ville is still in an intense state of ex
citement over the tragic events of yes
terday. Never in its history has tho
town been so convulsed. The fearful
crime of yesterday will be stamped
upon the minds of all while life lasts.
It was one of the most awful tragedies
ever enacted in the Dominion of Cana
da. The total result of the tragic af
fair was one man shot dead on tho
spot, the chief of police mortally
wounded, another, member of tho
force seriously wounded, an Indian
hurt and six others suffering more or
less from wounds inflicted b3' a single
man armed with a breech-loading shot
pun. And the cause of all the terriblo
destruction and suffering is himsel ly
ing at the point of death from wounds
inflicted by shots tired at him in order
to put a stop to his awful work and
effect li is capture.
Tho Kxcitemcnt IntenM.
The town clock had just struck the
noon hour and the streets were
thronged with people on their way to
dinner. Suddenly the sharp crack of
a gun was heard in tho western end of
the town, followed by other reports in
quick succession. Soon the news spread
that several persons had been shot and
the excitement became intense. The
cause of all tho trouble was a man
named Lapont, who resides about six
miles north of the town on what is
known as the Perth road. He has
usually been looked upon as of not
vei'3' sound mind, but generally in
offensive.
C hief of Police Rose Shot.
Just about noon lie made his appear
ance on the Perth road, walking in the
direction of King street, the principal
thoroughfare of the town. As he
neared King street he suddenly threw
his head back and gave vent to
several loud yells such as fox-hunters
often use in calling their dogs and at
the same time lirecl a couple of shots
in the air. When he had got within
about twenty yards of the corner of
King and Perth streets he took up his
position alongside a high bill bourd on
the west side of Perth street. Just at
this time Chief of Police Rose happened
to come up to the opposite corner, and
Lapont, taking deliberate aim, fired,
the charge cj/ heavy buckshot lodging
in the chief's chest, throat and head.
In falling to the ground, Rose pushed
an old man named Moore forward past
•the corner of the building. Lapont
fired again and Moore fell dead. An
old Indian named Dixon, who was
close by, le cived a portion of the
charge in his face and head.
The Murderer Wouuded.
As soon as the crowd collected their
senses plans were set on foot to cap
ture the murderer. The latter still
stood where he had first stationed him
self, and at each discharge of his gun
could be seen calmly taking loaded
cartridges from his pocket and reload
ing. Constable Tinsley took up a posi
tion behind a weigh scale and began
firing at Lapont with a revolver, but
the range was too long and the shots
proved ineffective. Lapont continued
firing as fast as he could reload and
several persons were more or less in
jured. Finally Tinsley secured posses
sion of a shot gun and crossed to a
grocery store, entering by a sido door.
In order to get at Lapont Tinsley
stepped out to the sidewalk and just as
he raised his gun, Lapont fired and the
constable had to retreat covered with
blood. In the meantime other persons
armed with guns and revolvers had
got to the upper windows of adjacent
buildings and fired at Lapont. All at
once Lapont was seen to drop his gnn
and fall to the ground. One of the
shots had struck him in the abdomen
and another in the leg. The angry mob
made a rush for him the moment he
fell, and seizing him, dragged him to
the centre of the road, crying "shoot
liim!" "lynch him!" By the efforts of
the more cool-headed, the mob was
prevented from carrying the threat
into execution. IJe was taken to tire
lock-up.
Business Practically Suspondod,
\\ hen quiet had been somewhat re
stored, the scene that was presented
was agonizing in the extreme. The
body of old man Moore lay on the side
walk cold in death. In a store adjoin
ing Chief of Police Rose lay suffering
terribly from his wounds. The old In
dian lay on the sidewalk covered with
blood. Constable Tinsley and several
others were also badly wounded
and covered with blood. To-day the
town is in mourning, and business is
practically suspended.
Fell Headlong Down a Shaft.
New York, March 10.—Last night
Ira Kane, the elevator conductor in the
envelope factory of Berliu & Jones,
fell down the elevator shaft from the
fourth floor to the basement, and was
so badly injured that he died within
an hour. It is thought that he left
the elevator for a moment and when
he returned, not noticing the car had
ascended, fell headlong down tht
shaft.
Charged with Murderous Assault.
| Pembroke, Mass., March 10.—Joseph
Trow, who says lie belongs in Fall
i Riser, was arrested here by request
of the chief of police of Oswego, N. Y. f
fop a murderous assault committed in
that city last October. 11c started fof
Oswego last evening.
H. W. PEABODY'S PLAN.
His I.lras of Money Presented to the Com* '
mi tire on Iftanklng anil Currency.
Washington, Mt*rcli 10.—II. W. Pea-!
body of Boston yesterday addressed {
the house committee on bauking and ;
currency regarding existing conditions
of the currency. First he would pro*
tect the redemption fund by a complete
separation from the general treasury
cash and provide that the re-issue of
notes redeemed with gold should be
only in exchange for gold, lie would
have gold certificates discontinued
when there were any notes in the re- ;
demption fund. He would retire the
treasury notes by a low rate bond to
be sold for legal tender money for the
purpose of enabling banks to replace
the retired notes, by issue of national
bank notes according to the needs of
business. National banks should be re
lieved of tax on circulation and al
lowed to issue notes up to the par
value of government bonds. These
reforms, he thought, would render
the present system safe and sound and
the retirement of part or all of the
greenbacks could be undertaken at a
future time.
VALENCIA QUIET TO-DAY.
Demonstrations Against the United Ktatos
Ken limed at Dilboa.
Madrid, March 10.—Quiet prevails in
the city of Valencia to-day. More ar
rests were made of persons who took
part in Sunday's riotous demonstra- j
tions. At Bilbao the manifestations
against the United States were re- 1
sumed. A large crowd of rioters pro- i
ceeded to the American consulate and
stoned the gendarmes who were guard- 1
ing the building. Nine of the guards 1
were quite severely injured. Reinforce
ments were hurriedly dispatched to
the consulate and upon their arrival a
charge was made upon the mob, which 1
was quickly dispersed. A score of the
rioters were wounded by the gen- I (
darmes and six were arrested. The 1
Heraldo says that the Hon. Ilannis 1
Taylor, the American minister, is
about to send his family away from 1
Madrid.

don Tlielr Estates Received with Dis
satisfaction—Patriots Obtain Sup
plies of Ammunition and Arms.
Santiago de Cuba, Feb. 29, via Tam
pa, Fla., M.arch 10.—On the 25th inst.
the rebel forces under command of
Gen. Matias attacked the town of Sa
gua de Tanamo, seizing, after a three
hours' fight, one of the forts which de
fend the place. The rebels entered tho
fort and seized the arms, ammunition
and provisions, afterward burning the
fort and several houses. The rebels
had two killed and nine wounded. A
rebel force of 100, men under CapL
Dominguez, appeared yesterday in
Moron. They burned the two forts of
the place and took with them all tho
arms, ammunition and provisions they
found there. There was no Spanish
garrison in Moron, as the Spanish
troops hud loft the day before in com
pliance with the general order of the
military governor of the province of
Santiago to abandon all the small vil
lages. This order has been harmful to
the government, as all the men of those
small places have joined the insur
gents. The foreign planters have pre
sented a joint protest to their consuls
against the order compelling them to
abandon their plantations. On the
23 :1 inst. the rebel forces of Brig.-Gen.
Periquito Lorez had an engagement
in Ramon de las Saguas with the
Spanish column under Col. Recas. Tho
Spaniards retreated, losing eight sol
diers killed and twenty wounded. Two
mules laden with ammunition were
captured by the rebels. The rebels
had one killed and seven wounded,
among the latter CapL Vega, who fell
into the hands of the troops, and sub
sequently died from the effects of his
wounds.
Fort Blown Up with Dynamite.
Insurgent leaders Salvador Rios and
Puyals, with their party, had an en
counter with the Spanish column of
Lieutenant - Colonel Escudero, 700
strong, on the 24th, in Monte Oscure,
Bayamo. The Spanish column re
tired to Bayamo after half an hour's
firing, leaving three soldiers prisoners
with the rebels, three killed and eigh
teen bounded. The insurgents had
nine wounded. Day before yesterday
a party of rebels compelled the garrison
of Fort Escondido, near Caimanera,
Guantanamo, to surrender. The in
surgents blew up the fort with dyna
mite bombs. The garrison was com
posed of one officer and forty soldiers.
On the 24th insL the Spanish Gen.
Gonzalez Munoz, with 1,200 men, in
fantry, cavalry and artillery, had an
encounter in La llerradura and Sal,
near Manzanillo, with the rebel forces
of Mendigta, Vera and Estrada, 2,000
in number. After very hard fighting
the Spaniards retreated, leaving in the
field twenty-five killed and eighty
wounded. Among the former was
LieuL-Col. Lolo Benitez, of tho Spanish
guerrillas, whose body was taken to
Vequita and buried there. Among the
latter was Lieut-Col. Tejnrizo, who
was very seriously wounded. The
sugar estates San Luis and Santa
Anua have stopped grinding, all the
employes having joined the rebels.
Weyler Modifies His Proclamation.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
Havana, March 7, via Tampa,
March 10. —Arrests of civilians under
the sweeping provisions of Gen. Wey
ler's proclamation of February 16,
huvc been made at such a rate and in
many cases with so little evidence of
guilt that Gen. Weyler was compelled
a week ago to issue instructions to his
officers to be more careful, as he re
quired more proof than verbal denun
ciation. Yesterday he issued a circu
lar in which he stated that absolute
proof must be furnished by other than
interested parties before accused per
sons will be deported and warning
commanders that they will be held re
sponsible for false answers. Without
doubt Gen. Weyler has in view the
effect of this order abroad, as well as
here, for the manner in which Cubans,
who have never borne arms against
Spain, have been dragged f-ora their
homes, from their families, their stores
or their farms and thrown into prisons
with felons, and after a few days'
delay, placed on board ship for what is
probably the vilest penal colony on
the face of the earth, has become a
shame that cries aloud for redress.
Gen. Weyler, upon his arrival, set at
liberty a number of these civilian pris
oners, whom Gen. Pando had taken
from their daily occupation in the
eastern end of the island, but hundreds
have been sent to Ceuta, Africa, and to
the Islo of Pines, and the arrests are
increasing in number.
A Pitiful Picture.
The wreck and ruin which is being
visited upon this fair island is pitiful to
contemplate. But for the warmth of
the climate and the ease with which
life is sustained in the tropics, thou
sands would have perished ere this
and the island would be a charnel
house before the end is reached. Peo
ple have lived by sucking sugar cane
and eating plantains. Families have
camped for days upon the ruins of
their homes in burned districts, sleep
ing upon the ground nights and crawl
ing under a thatch during tho heat of
the sun. J. FRANK CLARK.
