Captain O’Brien took the woman to the Jefferson Market Court yesterday and had her remanded until to-morrow afternoon, when, it is expected, numerous merchants will appear against her. NO HOPE FOR HOLMES. The Murderer of the Pietzels Not Likely to Be Granted a New Trial. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 3.—Every- one actively identified with the Holmes trial, which ended last evening with the conviction of Holmes for the murder of Pietzel, was glad that to-day was Sunday and took advantage of it to rest and recu- berate from the great nervous tension under which they had labored for a week. District Attorney Graham said to-day, as to the granting of a new trial, that he did not think the court, after hearing the argu- ment, would do so, as there was nothing upon the records of the trial that would hundreds of dollars worth of From one store alone she obtained 1y $500 worth of valuable dresses, silk erwear and other apparel.

He still maintains his air of injured innocence and reads and writes Wwhen not absorbed in thought. No visi- tors were allowed to see him to-day, and Holmes himself strengthened the prison rules by stating that he did not wish to see anybody. Dessie Pietzel is still in Philadelphia in charge of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Mrs, Pietzel has left the city and nearly all of the common- wealth’s witnesses have taken their de- parture. SHOT BY TRAIN ROBBERS. The Conductor of a Michigan Southern Train Fired Upon. ERIE, Pa., Nov. 3.—Conductor Richard Barnett of the Lake Erie and Michigan Southern was very dangerously shot by a gang of train-robbers to-night. Barnett was approaching Erie from Buffalo with his train and had his bead out of the win- dow watching for signals. Three men rushed upon the train and fired. Barnett was the only man shot. The ball tore through his skull, but came cut. Barnett has been a conductor a great many years, and it is thought the shot is intended to square up an old score by one of the gang which has recently been dis- A Pennaylvania Mayor Causes the Ar- rest of Salvation Army Members.

General Maceo Notifies the Patriots’ BOSTON, Mass.,, Nov. 3.—The Cuban Patriots’ League in the United States is in a state of extraordinary activity, and since the arrival in New York of the delegates from the fighting insurgents last week the work of enlisting aid for the struggling | patriots has gone on apace. | Most of the war news which has been re- ceived thus far has been through sources, or at least has been subjected to the scrutiny of the alert press censors in Havana. A letter was received to-day by the New England branch of the Patriots’ | League and coming from the head of the insurgent forces, General Antonio Maceo. | It gives a view of the struggle as the Cu- bans picture it. The letter states that | “*Cuba Libre” is an event nearer at hand than even the most ardent admirer of the i d republic could dream of. General e0 says: | “The whole question of the outcome of the war now rests in the east, and it will not be needful to make any attempts what- soever in the vicinity of Havana, excep ing what guerriila warfare is being carriéd | on at present. The struggle will be fought | in the region surrounding Santiago de | Cuba, ané if the Spaniards fall there they | are lost virtually, as with its fall will go |the whole of the isiand, excepting the small district in the vicinity of Havana, which itself is not able to withstand a combimed attack. The reports which have been sent out by the Spaniards are false, as in every pitched battle which has been fought during the last month in the region of Santiago de Cuba the patriots have been successful, and the only thing preventing them from making the direct |assault and capture of the city is the lack of heavy ordnance, without which an 4 attack of that nature would be suicidal. ‘With the large sum of money which has been collected, the necessary munitions of war will soon be shipped from' the United States, when the struggle will be pushed forward to an early completion. All stories regarding the barbarities of the in- surgents are also false, as we have treated the prisoners that have fallen into our hands the same as any civilized army would do.” General Maceo also stated that his men are in the best of health, and that they are so flushed with victory that nothing will be able to stop them. The letter closes with an earnest exhortation for the re- cognition of the insurgents by the United States. o —_—— FORT AUKAS CAPTURED., A Spanish Outpost Falls Before an In- surgent Assault. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 4.—The special cable to the Herald from Havana, Cuba, says: From insurgent sources comes the report of the capture of Fort Auras, a Spanish outpost near Cienfuegos,by Captain Castel- lanos on Friday. The Spanish force in the fort surrendered after a short siege. The insurgents secured eighty improved rifles and more than 15,000 rounds of ammuni- tion. All the prisoners were liberated and the fort burned. Fort La Vigia, one league from Camajuania, in the province of San- tiara, surrendered during the week, and a majority of the troops defending it went over to the insurgents. In this fort the rebels secured 32 rifles and 1300 cartridges. This fort was =lso burned. From Remedios insurgent advices say that in the suburbs of Sabanneva 100 houses were burned, stores sacked and tobacco barns destroyed. . Ended Her Life With Poison. NEW YORK, N.

The members of the eommission ap- pointed to control the reforms in Armenia | have announced that Chefik Effendi will be the president of the commission. The | Armenians of Anatolia are preparing to | send delegates to M. Nelidoff, the Russian Embassador to Turkey, to implore him to request the Czar to protect them and tem- | porarily occupy Armenia. Kiamil Pasba, the Grand Vizier, has | telegraphed to the Valis of the different provinces instructing them to use their | utmost endeavors to calm the excitement | and agitation among the Mussulmans, | The Armenian patriarch of Constantinople sent a circular letter to the Bishops in Asia Minor requesting them to exhort the Armenians to await the execution of the | reforms that the Porte has promised. It is said thet the excitement is too great for either side to pay any heed to the appeals for the preservation of order. According to official reports the Arme- nians at Diarbekir attacked the Mussul- mans while they were at prayer in the mosques. A fight ensued, in which sey- eral on both sides were killed and a num- ber wounded. The Armenians murdered a Turkish lieutenant, his wite and chil- dren while they were journeying to Marash. g TURKS BEHAVING WELL. Attacks Upon Armenians Prevented by the Sultan’s Bulldoga. LONDON, ExG., Nov. 3.—The Daily News to-morrow will say that the British Consut at Erzeroum reports that the Turkish | soldiers behave very well, preventing the mob from attacking the Armenians. The Standard will to-morrow publish a 1 dispatch from Constantinople saying that | careful inquiries by the Embassy have | elicited proof that the risings in Anatolia | were vart of the Nintcak, or revolutionary | programme. Doubtless the movement | was fostered by foreign gold. The Ar- menian committees in the principal towns of the empire have no idea of accepting‘ the reforms. Troubles have already occurred in five of the six provinces named in the scheme ot reform. The good behavior of the Turkish troops at Erzeroum on October 14 was due to the presence of the Shakir Pasha, the Imperial Commissioner, who is the right man in the right vlace. In the rioting at Diabekir the Armenians were armed with revolvers and poignards. They slew seventy Moslems in the mosque and set fire to the city in several places. The military restored order at the cost of several lives. e ATTACKED THE MOSQUES. Mussulmans Assailed by Armenians While at Their Prayers. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 3.—The Turkish legation here has jreceived the following telegram from the Sublime Porte under yesterday’s date: “The Vali of Diarbekir telegraphs that the Armeuians attacked the mosques of the chief town of the province during the vrayer hours of the Mussulmans.

Workmen in a New York Sweatshop Perish Miserably in a Fire. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 3.—When the smoking ruins of the'sweatshops in Pelham street, which were burned early this morn- ing, were searched it was discovered that four lives had been lost in the blinding smoke and flames. Three buildings were totally wrecked, and a conservative esti- mate of the damage places it at $100,000. The names of the dead are as follows: Jacob Shapiro, 118 West Nineteenth street, watchman at 7 Pelham street, burned to death on third floor. body recovered at noon to-day; Isaac Pensen, 432 Cherry street, tailor, body recovered in doorway of 7 Pelham street at1p. M. to-day; Morris Deuschi, tailor, jumped from the third story of 7 Pelham street during the fire and fractured his skull, died at 4:30 a. a.; an unknown verson, sex undistinguishable, body recovered in basement of 7 Pelham street at 9 A. m. The position of the bodies taken from | the ruins and the horrible condition in | which they were found show how terrible had been the struggle of the unfortunates | forlite and how hopeless ther fight before the swift advance of the flames. The three buildings took fire from floor to floor as though their walls had been soaked with kerosene and all avenues of escape were quickly cut off. No one knows how many were in the darkened sweat shops when the fire started and even yet beneath the mass of charred debris there may be lying the bodies of homeless and friendless tailors who had found shelter for thie night within the walls of the doomed buildings. Sl Laborers in a Melee, NEWCASTLE, VA, Nov. 3.—A riot oc- curred at Elwood City about midnight las¢ night and a half dozen men were injured. For some time past the employes in the glass works and those in the tin-plate mill at that place have been at outs. One man’ from each mill got into a fight last night, which wound up in a free-for-all. . At one time there were no less than thirty men engaged in the melee. The fight lasted an hour, and several persons were badly used up. Beveral arrests will be made to-mor- TOW. that the friends of Mr. Harrison will move early for the displacement of Chairman Carter of the National Republican Com- | mittee, and the substitution, if not an out- and-out Harrison man, at least of one who will be in accord with the majority sen- | timent of the party in the matter of finan- cial legislation. “It'was reported here yesterday that the subject was discussed Friday night, and alarge majority of- the- members of the committee was not in accord with Mr. Carter in his views on the silver question. He is known to be opposed to Harrison on this ground, and is quoted as saying that Harrison conld not be elected. The friends of the ex-President feel that the committee can be reorganized, and in such areorgani- zation that Harrison could more than likely control the election of a chairman. Local Republicans are anxious that a change in the chairmanship should follow, and it is understood that Mr. Harrison’s friends on the committee were notitied that Mr. Carter is not acceptablejto the ex-Presi- dent and not likely to be tothe party at large, which is in favor of “sound’’ money and whose convention will in all proba- bility declare in favor of maintaining the present attitude of the Government toward the coinage of gold and silver. No one has been suggested for the place, but it is said the candidates will come from the East. e GRANTED PARTIAL SUFFRAGE. Women Possessing Certain Property to Fote in South Carolina. COLUMBIA, 8.C., Nov. 3.—The week just passed has been the most eventful, so far as the political status of the State of South Carolina is concerned, that the State has known since the stirring days of 1876. The constitutional convention has had a great wrestle with the woman suffrage problem and has settled it by putting in the ‘‘understanding’’ provision for two years and then leaving a pure educational and property qualification. ‘Whether this settlement of the difficulty 18 going to stand the test of judicial in- quiry or not is a question that was dis- cussed by the convention in the greatest details and the answer can be found in the future alone. The convention has had a livelv time adopting the scheme. Senator Tiliman made a great speech, and vigorous speeches were delivered by Whipper, Wiggand and Miller in defense of their race. The old reconstruction period history was fully accounted and some new light was thrown on some matters. It was also seen early in the proceedings that all amendments presented were to be voted down, as they were. The fight for woman suffrage was merely an incident to the week’s discus- sion—nothing more. ‘When the section comes up again for its third reading an effort is to be made to re- new the fight for woman suffrage. It will not amcunt to anything, however. There are a good many other sections of the article yet to receive their second reading, but none of them are specially charged with dynamite and they should go through in a hurry. ———— NEBRASKA’S ELECTION. Five Tickets Placed Before the Foters of the State. OMAHA, NEBR., Nov. 3.—The State election in Nebraska is for one Judge of the Supreme Court and two Regents of the State University. There are five tickets in the field—Republican, Democratic, “sound- money’’ Democratic, Populist and Prohibi- tionist. Last year the Republicans carried the State on all State officers except Governor, by from 16,000 to 27,000 plurality. Bya fusion of the Populists and silver Demo- crats, the fusion candidate for Governor was elected by 3000 majority. There isno fusion this year, and the indications are that Chief Justice T. L. Norval, renomi- nated by the Republicans, will be re- elected. The Populist nominee for Supreme Court Judge is Samuel Maxwell, a Republican who, prior to 1894, was on the Supreme bench for twenty years. The regular Democratic nominee is Charles J. Phelps, who represents the free-silver element, while the ‘“sound-money” Democratic nominee is T. J. Mahoney. The Populists claim Maxwell’s election by 5000, while the Republicans claim Norval's election by 20,000 over Maxwell. In Omaha there are three tickets in the field for city, county and judicial offices, and the campaign has been unusually bit- ter on account of the A.P.A.issue. The tickets are Republican, Populist and Citi- zens, the latter nominated by the Citizens’ Reform League. The fight on Mayorisa renewal of the fire and police troubles of last August, Commissioner Broatch of the new Police Board heing the Republican candidate, and ex-Commissioner Brown of the old board the Democratic candidate. — - CLAIMS OF THE POPULISTS. General Fandervoort Predicts a Doubling of the Party’s Former Vote. OMAHA, Nepe., Nov. 3.—General Paul A. Vandervoort, commander-in-chief of the National Legion, the National organi- zation of the Populist clubs, stated to-day to the correspondent of the United Press that while the Populists did not expect to carry any State, their vote this year would be on the whole 50 per cent greater in the States which hold elections next Tuesday than last year. Vandervoort expects the greatest gains in Iowa, Kentucky and Ohio. In the lat- ter State, he says, Jacob Coxey, the Popu- list candidate for Governor, wili receive at least 100,000 votes. Last year’s Populist vote in Ohio was 69,000. In Kentucky the vote will gain from 22,000 last year to about 90,000, while in Iowa the vote will be nearly 80,000, as compared with the 34,000 last year. He also expects a gain in Mas- sachusetts. In Mississippi, he says, a fair vote would give the State to Burkett, the Populist candidate for Governor, by 25,000 majority. EER GEORGE WA4S NOT ARRESTED. The Single-Tax Orator Addressed a Crowd at Wilmington. WILMINGTON, DeL., Nov. 3.—Henry George delivered a single-tax speech in the opera-house here this evening to fully 1500 people. Chief of Police Dolan was present with two officers, but the speaker was in no way interfered with. He spoke less than an hour, and the speech was disap- pointing to the audience. The Police Com- missioner is not inclined to enforce the order given early last week to arrest single- tax orators as being violaters of the law. —_— GREENHALGE'S PLURALITY. A Canvass of the State Places the Figures at Over 70,000. 4 BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 3.—The Journal (R.) this morning printed the result of a canvass in the State. It claims thaton Tuesday Governor Greenhalge will receive a plurality of 73,761 over bhis Democratic opponent, ex-Congressman George F. Wil- liams. The Democrats claim that they will reduce this pilurality to 30,000. The Democratic city committee claims that Williams will receive a plurality of 6000 in Boston, but the Republicans say that this city will give Greenhalge a plurality of 3000, & gain of 6000 over last year. EALES ON THE SEABOARD, Many Vessels Thought to Have Been Lost Off the Coast of Newfoundland. Crews of Two Wrecked Schooners Brought to Halifax by the Hyacinthe. HALIFAX, N. 8, Nov."3.—A storm of frightful severity has been sweeping over the North Atlantic during the last three days, and it is feared that it will prove the most disastrous that has bteen known in many years. The storm itself was felt very lightly on shore, only the edge of the hurricane reaching shore, but at sea it raged with fury, according to the stories of incoming steamers and fishermen. At this period the fishing season is at its height, and the fleets from Canadian and New England ports number hundreds of vessels, while those engaged in the fishing industry may be counted in the thousands. The usual equinoctial gales of the fall were very light this year, and it was thought that the heavy weather until the winter season had fairly set in had passed by.. This being the case it is very doubtful if the'majority of boats on the banks and the great fishing waters near Newfound- land were prepared to meet this storm. The actual damage done from the hurri- cane will not be known for weeks yet, as vessels which rode the storm were un- doubtedly driven far to the east. The coasting guard along the shore is active, as vessels have been wrecked at a number of places, while wreckage and overturned boats are being washed in con- stantly. The British man-of-war Hyacinthe, which is cruising in Newfoundland waters for the purpose of putting a stop to the depredations of pirates, came in to-day with her mainmast gone and otherwise considerably damaged. She is an old-style vessel, but strong in her class, and if she has suffered much damage it is feared that the small fishing schooners must have fared badly. She brought in with her the crews of two wrecked schooaners, and also several men whom she had picked up afloat in dories. The schooner Lelois, which also arrived to-day, reports that she had two men washed overboard on Friday, and that she had passed a large number of vessels in an apparently helpless condition, being un- able to render any assistance owing to her own condition, and' the awful sea which was running. . The loss of human life will undoubtedly HELD UP A BANDIT, The Klamath Stage-Robber Captured by One of His Victims. PLUCK OF A PASSENGER. Wounded the Highwayman While He Was Looting the Mail Pouches. FORCED HIM TO SURRENDER, The Famous Topsy Grade Bandil Proves to Be a San Quentin Graduate. ASHLAND, Ogr., Nov. 3. — The Ager- Klamath Falls stage, famous for having | been successfully held up by a lone highe wayman eight times within the past sav- eral months, is again at the front with a Tobbery last night. The monotony in thig case was varied, however. by the imme« diate holding-up and subsequent jailing of the bandit by a passenger. The stage was going from the railroad at Ager to Klamath Falls, carrying the usual amount of mail and two passengers, Newton Gordon of Klamath County, law- yer, and District Attorney Benson of Grants Pass, who was going to attend the session of the Circuit Court for Klamath County, to convene to-morrow. After having passed the little town of Keno about a mile the stage was stopped by its old-time enemy and the driver ordered to throw out the United States mail-pouches. The highwayman did not ask for Welis« Fargo’s express-box, the express having discontinned its service over that route on account of the numerous robberies. The robber was standing behind a tele- graph pole and pointed what appeared to be & gun, but was aftervard djscovered to be a stick, at the driver. The latter lost no time in throwing out the pouches, and then drove on with his passengers a few yards. After turning a bluff the stage was stopped and Passenger Gordon got off and returned to the scene of the robbery. Gordon found the robber getting ready to open the mail sacks and took a shot at him. The robber arose and ran toward a swamp near by, and as he was in full speed the second ball from Gordon’s re- volver struck the bandit’s arm. Gordon chased the robber into the tules, where tha fellow halted and gave himself up. It was then discovered that he was Adolph Frick, who broke out of the Klam« ath Falls jail the night before, while incar- cerated awaiting trial for horse stealing. Frick, after breaking out of jail, stole a horse from Newton Gordon and fled, and Gordon was after that horse when the stage was overhauled. Frick is a notori- ous character, well known throughout Southern Oregon and Northern California. He has been living about Pokegama and the royte of this stage the past two years. For a time he was one of the deputy Fish Commissioners of California for the Klam« ath River district. He has served a term at San Quentin for burglary. G PURSUIT. Forger and Bigamist Leslie Captured in Mississippi. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 3.—After a chase of 2200 miles, including the journey from Texas to Nebraska, J. H. Leslie, aliag Ryan, alias Lewis, an alleged bigamist and forger, was yesterday captured at Okolona, Miss., by Sheriff Patterson of Woodruff, Ark., and taken to Riverside, Ark. Last June Leslie eloped with Miss Benlah Carter, daughter of J. C. Carter, president of the Riverside Lumber Company, and two weeks later deserted her after forging Carter’s name to a check. It is said Leslie has two wives in Texas. Sheriff Patterson traced the bigamist to Elk Point, S. D., Omaha and Okolona, Miss. When are rested Leslie confessed the crimes.
