Great Panic in the Eternal City, bat
No Lives Lost.
Rome, Nov. 1. A severe and pro
longed earthquake shock was felt here at
4 :38 this morning. Many bouses swayed
badly, walls cracked and pictures fell
from walls. The people ran panic-stricken
into the streets, and a serious disaster
was apprehended. Happily the first
shock seems to have ended the subterra
neous disturbance without serious dam
age. Some idea of the alarm' created
may be gathered from the fact that pris
oners broke out in open revolt and tried
to escape. The Vatican buildings were
severely shaken, but the pope was per
fectly tranquil. He eent to the nearest
police depot to inquire if there had been
any loss of life or serious damage.
The series of shocks lasted 11 seconds.
Two clocks in the observatory were
stopped and the old tower of the Roman
college cracked. Two houses collapsed
and it is reported several persons are in
jured. Four palaces and the Bank of
Italy are uninhabitable. The Pallacio
Odeschaicie and five other palaces are
seriously injured. The Vatican build
ings, the Quirinal, the main railroad
station and the ministry offices are also
reported to have sustained some damage.
THE PENALTY IS UEATII.
lnrrant Convicted of the Murder of
ISlanche Lamont.
San Francisco, Nov. 1. -Theodore
Durrant, assistant superintendantof the
Emanuel Baptist church Sunday school,
was today convicted of the murder of
Blanche Lamont, for which he has been
on trial since July 22 last. The jury was
ont 20 minutes, and arrived at the ver
dict on the first ballot. As there was no
recommendation of mercy, the punish
ment was fixed at death.
It was exactly 21 minutes from the
time the juty left the courtroom to the
time the verdict was announced, but
that lime was all taken up in delibera
tion. In fact, there was no deliberation
at all. The jury had evidently decided
upon a verdict before they left the box.
It was 3:34 when they filed out of the
courtroom into the grand jury room
which had been placed at their disposal.
It took the 12 men until 3 :50 o'clock be
fore they settled themselves comfortably,
and at 3 :35 a knock on the door an
nounced to the anxious waiters that a
verdict had been found. It took just
five minutes of actual time to elect a
foreman and take the one ballot neces
sary. The scene in the courtroom when the
verdict was announced will never be
forgotten by those who were present.
Judge Murphy finished his charge at
3 :30, and tlie jury at once retired. Al
though there was supposed to be little
prospect of a verdict being returned be
fore 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening, the
throng of spectators, who had remained
in the overcrowded courtroom all the aft
ernoon to hear the judge's charge, . set
tled themselves back in their seats to
await the retun of the jury. Mrs. Dur
rant and the prisoner talked and laughed
together as if an acquittal were a fore
gone conclusion. They were joined by
half a dozen friends, and the conversa
tion was becoming animated, when it
became whispered about that the jury
bad agreed npon a verdict.
a In an instant a hush fell upon the lit
tle circle that had gathered around the
prisoner. Durrant's face, always pale,
assumed a ghastly hue, and his mother
was speechless. Then the big doors at
the rear of the room opened, and the
members of the jury filed in and took
their seats in the box.
IutheintenBj excitement which fol
lowed, the room, although it was filled
to its utmost capacity, was almost as
quiet as if it had been vacant. Judge
Murphy, who had retired to his cham
bers, was summoned, and took his place
nnnn the bench. Clerk Morris asked
the usual question, as to whether the
jury had agreed npon a verdict. Fore
man Warren Dutton arose and replied
in the affirmative, saying: ,
"We, the jurv, find the defendant,
William Henry Theodore Dun-ant,
guilty of murder in the first degree."
.As the aged foreman, pale and trem
bling, read the words which fixed Dur-
rant's fate, a low rumbling noise like
the roar of a mob arose from the rear of
the courtroom. The next moment, men
were cheering wildly, while women hys
terically wept in their excitement. The
bailiff rapped loudly for order, but the
tumult continued for a minute before
anything like quiet could be brought
out of the disorder. Then District At
torney Barnes arose and asked that a
day be set upon which the sentence of
death should be passed upon the pris
oner. Judge Murphy said that sen
tence would be passed next Friday,
upon which day be would also set the
day for the trial of Durrant on the
charge of murdering Minnie Williams.
During the tumult which followed the
announcement of the verdict, Durrant
and his mother were lost sight of, ex-
I'cept by the few who sat near them. ' As
the last words of the verdict were
uttered, Durrant made . a spasmodic
effort to arise to his feet, but before he
could do so, bis mother, with a half
sigh, half moan, threw her arms around
his neck and sank back into her chair.
His mother's grief seemed to make
Durrant forget bis own position, and for
the next few minutes be sat with his
arms around her neck, trying to sooth
her. The long strain, however, bad
completely shattered her self-control,
and It was some time before Mrs. Dur
rant could leave the courtroom.
Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J Gun-
derman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are
permitted to make this extract : "I
have no hesitation in recommending Dr.
King's New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvelous in the case of my
wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist
.Church at River Junction she was
brought down with Pneumonia succeed
ing La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of
coughing would last hours witli little in
terruption and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend recom
mended Dr. King's New Discovery ; it
was quick in its work and highly satis
factory in results." Trial bottles free at

HOLMES FOUND GUILTY
He Was Convicted of Mm
der in First Degree.
THE JURY WAS OUT FOUR HOURS
Prisoner's Marvelous Nerve Did
Forsake Rim When the Fatal
Words Were Spoken.
Not
Philadelphia, Nov. 2. Henry H,
Holmes was convicted of murder in the
first degree at 8:15 tonight for killing
Benjamin F. Pitrzel. He coughed
slightly when he heard the words. This
was the only sign.
The jury retired to deliberate at 5 -.40
this afternoon. According to one of
their number, they reached their ver
diet before the doors of their room closed
upon them. For hunger's sake, they ate
their supper first. Then they took a
ballot, and, without hesitation, every
man of the 12 answered.
"Guilty of murder in the first de
gree." But, however atrocious the crime,
however fiendish the criminal, it is hard
to send a man to the gallows in one min
ute's time ; so, for decency's sake, they
talked about the case for a seemly period
about an hour and a half. Then word
was sent into court that they had agreed.
This was at 8:15. It took half an hour
to get the court in readiness to receive
the verdict'. Holmes spoke to his coun
sel, Rotan and Shoemaker, in the cell
room because he was immediately taken
back to Moyamensing prison. To them
he said :
"I feel that this condemns me. It was
an unjust trial."
He would say no more than that. Im
mediately after the verdict, the usual ap
plication for leave to file a motion fo" a
new trial was made. District Attorney
Graham did not oppose tne motion, and
Judge Arnold set the 18th of this month
for a hearing. The principal reason
urged will be lack of time for the prepa
ration of the defense. Should a new
trial be refused, an appeal will be taken
to the supreme court, and argument
heard at its next sitting in this city,
January, 1896. So, even if everything
goes against him, Holmes has yet some
time to spend on earth, from which he
is alleged to have sent so many fellow
mortals. . The verdict was a surprise to many
persons, who did not believe the crime
had been fastened upon Holmes beyond
a reasonable doubt. When they heard
it they said:
"Well, it was on general principles,
and it is(juet as good."
That is not the meaning of the law;
but in this case everybody agrees that
"it is just as well." Theie is no word
of pity or sympathy for the condemned
man. He is regarded as a menace to
society. Up in Gilmanton, N. H.,
there are two old people, his father and
mother. And he has also two brothers,
and two sisters. Not one of his kin was
heard from during the trial.
When the jury went out, an indefinite
receES was taken. Judge Arnold said he
would remain in the building until mid
night, if necessary; and if no verdict
had been reached by that time, he
would come again at ten tomorrow
morning.
Nobody believed there would be occa
sion for this. There were many wagers
that the verdict would be In tonight, and
more as to its nature. At 8 :40 there was
a bustle of moving people in the packed
courtroom, and it became known that
the jury was coming in. A moment
later, Judge Arnold took his seat. Dis
trict Attorney Graham and his associates
entered the courtroom, and the jury filed
solemnly in and took their seats in the
box. Then Holmes was brought in and
placed in the dock. For a moment,
there was not a sound. The silence was
painful, and every heart in the crowded
room throbbed. The man who was
about to hear bis doom pronounced
stood erect in the dock, the same death
like pailor which could grow no deeper
on his face. He stared at the jury
blankly, his hands clasped behind his
back. Once or twice be moistened his
lips with. his tongue. There was no sign
of agitation. Then from the deep-voiced
clerk came the awful words :
'.' Jurors, look upon the prisoner; prie
ouer, look upon the jurors. How say
you, gentlemen of the jury; do you find
the prisoner at the bar, Herman W.
Mudgett, alias H. H. Holmes, guilty of
the murder of Benjamen F. Pitezel, or
not guilty. . .
Tlie condeming syllables came from
the foreman :
"Guilty of murder in the first degree."
Hem," utttred Holmes, clearing hia
throat; but fiis shrunken form never
trembled; his lips betrayed no quiver;
his marvelous nerve bad not forsaken
him. There was only a tighter clasp of
bis hands folded behind him. Then be
sat slowly down, and at the request of
counsel the jury was polled. As each
name was called, Holmes wrote it on
the margin of a newspaper in hia hand,
and the fingers holding the pencil never
shook. The verdict was formally re
corded by the court ; the motion for a
new trial was made, and, after Judge
Arnold bad spoken a word of regret to
counsel for the defense because of last
Monday's occurrence, when they with
drew from the case, and appreciation for
their - arduous but fruitless labors,
Holmes was taken to his cell room : a few
minutes later the jury was thanked for
their attention and labors, and sent
home; the court adjourned, and the
most extraordinarv case in the annals of
American courts was ended.

A BRIEF OUTLINE OF HIS LIFE

One Is m
Coward.
Chicago, Nov. 4. Eugene Field, a
poet, died of heart failure at abont 5
this morning. He retired last night in
usual health, apparently, and slept
soundly till daybreak, when his son,
who occupied the room with him. heard
him groan. ' It was his expiring gasp.
Field leaves a widow and five children.
He had been indisposed several days,
but no serious result were even thought
of by his family and immediate friends.
George H. Yenowyno, of this city, was
at Field's bedside when he died.' Mr.
Field and Yenowyno intended to start
together for Kansas City, where Field
was to have read tonight.
Eugene Field was born in St. Louis,
September 2, 1850, and was the eon of
RoBwell Martin and Frances (Reed)
Field. His parents were both natives
of Windham county, Vermont. His
father was Dred Scott's first attorney in
the case which resulted in the famous
Dred Scott decision by the United States
supreme court. Eugene Field's mother
died in 1857. He was then put under
the care of his cousin, Mary Field French,
at Amherst. He attended Williams col
lege, Knox college and the state univer
sity of Missouri. He adopted the pro
fession of the newspaper writer, begin
ning with the St. Louis Journal, in 1872.
He was later connected with the St.
Joseph, Mo., Gazette, St. Louis Times-
Journal, Kansas City Times, and Denver
Tribune. He came to Chicago on Aug
ust 13, 1883, to accept a position on the
editorial staff cf the Chicago Morning
News, now the Record, and his connec
tion with this paper continued without
interruption until his death.
Field's last contribution to- this de
partment in this paper, "Sharps and
Flats," was published Sunday morning,
and in it was a characteristic defense cf
Bill Nye, and bis refusal to accept the
imputations as to the cause of the recent
assault upon the humorist in Paterson,
N. J. In addition to newspaper work,
Field established a reputation as a pow
erful and clever writer of stories and
verses. "His latest poem of pretension
was "Dreamships," printed in the Octo
ber Ladies' Home Journal. He was es
pecially adopt in poems and stores in
child life,. and hit printed books now
number a a half-dozen volumes. He al
so made himself famous as a reader of
his own stories and verses.
In June, 1895, Knox college conferred
upon Field the honorary degree of A. M.

ClXCISXATI. Nov. 4. On th v of
electiyn betting here is on the extent
of the reduction of the democratic plu
rality in Kentucky and of the republican
plurality in Ohio, rather than on the re
sult in either state.- In Ohio the repub
licans had had phenomenal pluralities
and claim now a better organization
than ever. They had an early state
convention and went to work immedi
ately. - The democrats had a late convention,
but claim the. aggressiveness and popu
larity of ex-Governor Campbell will get
ont a full democratic vote and show a
cloe contest. While both parties have
paid special attention to the legislature,
which selects a successor to Senator
Brice, it is conceded that the republicans
have the advantage in the apportion
ment, which stands till alter the census
of 1900.

New York, Nov. 4. It is announced

In 1894 this player was a member of the
Boston team, where he played thirty
two games in a short time, while Long
was disabled and had a percentage of
.901. As a batman he had an average of
.327. The Bostons let him go West be

Massillo.v.O.. Nov. 4. Governor Mc
Kinley remarked that the state ticket
ought to go through with no less than
60,090 plurality.
"Last year the republicans carried the
state by 137,000," said he, "but the vote
was about 60,000 short. Now figuring
liberally, I don't see how Mr. Campbell
can possibly get more than 364,000 votes
thiB year. Last year his party polled
275,392 votes, so you see I have treated
him well in my calculations. Last year
the republicans polled 413,359 votes, so
that if we only hold our own, we will re
tain a comfortable margin.""
