Office in front of Bay View Hotel. seaS Army engineers are about to undertake a most difficult piece of work for the Government. Formal approval having been given by the Lighthouse Board to the plans for a light on Dia. mond Shoal, which juts into the sea seven miles off Cape Hatter as, an engineer officer has started out to inspect steel manufacto ries to determine where the best material for the structure can be obtained. Whether this light can be erected, or, if erected, can with stand the heavy seas and winds, is a question which has brought about a wide difference of opin- .1 1 1011 even among tue meuiDers composing the board. The ma jority, however, hold that it is feasible. The minority, compos ed exclusively of the naval rep- ieseutatives and one civilian member, are of the opinion that no light can be built which will stand, and that, even if it can, there is 110 necessity of the Gov ernment's going to an expense of over $1,000,000 when a light ship costing but $90,000 would serve every purpose. Admiral Walker, Capt. Wilde aud Capt. Dewey, all of the navy, are advocates of the light vessel, while Col. Wilson and the army contingent favor the lighthouse. Congress has told the board to go ahead aud prepare plans for a light, authirizing the expendure of $500,000. One of the leading engineers in Washington stated that there was no more reason why a light vessel should not be placed on Diamond Shoal than off Sandy Hook, and pointed out that the Nantucket Shoal vessel had stood up in the teeth of a 75-mile-an- hour gale without breaking her Notwithstanding aiijpa owner, and H.

ONLY ONE BALLOT TAKEN. the prisoners face was absolutely Expressionless, and only a ner vous twitching oe the eye lids and the contraction and dilation of the eyes showed that he was living. H. H. Holmes, the most no torious and infamous murderer that has ever been convicted in the courts of Philadelphia and probably in America, has been found guilty of murder in the first degree for the killing of one B. F. Pietzel. The jury was never in doubt. When they re tired from the court room they took their suppers and then a brief discussion took place. One ballot was taken and every man voted to convict. They con sumed three hours after their re tirement from the court room, but they could have found a ver dict in fifteen minutes if they had wished to do so.
