ANOTHER SENSATION IN THE ALREADY VERY SEN SATIONAL HOLMES CASE. The Motion for a New Trial nrguea. An Affidavit Produced by tne le tense Shown to be a forgery Procured by Shoemaker; of Counsel for Holmes. The Attorney Held Coder Bond for Subornation of Perjury. Fhixadelphia, Nov. 18 The argument for a new trial in the case of H. H. Holmes was heard this morning in the Criminal court before Judge Arnold, who tried the case, Judge Wilson and J age Thayer, the presiding judge of the court. . Holmes was brought from prison to court. The weeks of confinement since his conviction have added to the emaciation that was bo marked when he was in court before and a hectic flush has taken the place of his former pallor. He has also lost the easy look of confidence that he wore dm ing his trial. - A sensation was furnished by Mr. Shoe- maker.' one of Holmes' counsel. He. pre sented an affidavit from a witness purport ing to be named Blanche Hannigan, who swore that she kept a cigar store on Callow- hill street near the house where Pietzel was killed and that she knew the dead man and that he told her that he' intended to commit suicide. . District Attorney Graham asked that the witness be called to the stand and Mr. Shoe maker replied that he did not know where Then ' Mr. Graham called a private de tective named Swetzler to the stand, who testified that Shoemaker, weeks ago, had written out the affidavit and given him $20 to pay some one to swear to it. Then Detective Geyer was called and he testified that Swetzler had shown him the affidavit before it was signed Then a woman was called to the stand, who said she was the ' Blanche Hannigan" who signed the affidavit. She swore that she knew nothing about ,the tateraent in 'he affidavit Her namei instead of being Hannigan, was Rhea and she is the matron in the Fourth po'ice district. It was at the sugg stion of Detective Geyer that Bhe went with Swetzler to BhoemaKer, ana imperson ated "Blanche Hannigan '.' 8hoemaker gave her f 20 and took her before a notary public and she swore to the statement. This astonishing testimony that seemed to cleariy noint to a perjured affidayit eVid-ntly surprised the court, and when Shoemaker attempted to make some confused statement Judge Thayer suggested to him that his greatest safety lay in silence. Mr. Rotan. Holmes' other attorney, stated to, the court that he knew nothing of the affidavit, and then he began the argument for a new trial. The principal allegations for asking for the trial are that the district attorney influ enced the .jury in introducing evidence "bowing that the children were killed by Holmes ; that the defence was not reaay to proceed, and that the court erred on a num ber of points in the trial. In his argument be dwelt noon the lnaamissaDiiuy or me evidence of Miss Yoke, on the ground that the Commonwealth had not clearly shown she was not the prisoner's wife, and that; therefore, she was not a competent witness Mr. Graham reproaucea ine prisoners letters to the Willimette tills.) wife,ac knowledgiog the ceremony of marriage and then he sprunga surprise on Holmes that perceptibly took him aback. H put in evidence a record from the Chicago courts of an application foridivorcei filed by Holmes assing ior a separation oi nis rem wu-. wuu lives in Gilmerton, IN. u. lie also proaucea an affidavit from this wife that while mak ing the now famous iourney with Mrs. rietzel and Miss low, oimes come tu aet her and resumed his relations as a husband with her. The weak point in Mr Graham's case during the trial was how Pietzel was ac tually killed Uis mierence was inai net zel was chloroformed to death by Holmes, hut he never brought this out clearly. Jfltige Wilson seemed struck by this and asked Mr. tiramm now neizei wis kiupu. Mr Graham said that it was the contention of the Commonwealth that Holmes chloro formed him to death, but the district attor nev did not make it clear how they believed the dead man was murdered. Mr. Rotan seized on this point and ad dressing the court in his c'osing argument dwlt upon the improbability of a m&u of Holmes pbveicme overcoming neizei anu killing him with chloroform. men June rnayer, aaares-mK u. ouw maker, told him that he had a most un pleasant duty to perform He said inai in view of the use Mr. Shoemaker made of 'the affidavit he presented in court this morning, the ' court had no alternative but to hold him in $1,500 bail for subornation or per- mry. Mr. onoemaKer siooa ptuuu uu nerveless wniie juage xnayer wnopius and wh-n His Honor had finished he made an inarticulate effort to say sometning.Dui his voice choked and he sat down silently. The court reserved its decisions . upon granting Holmes a new trial, but that the new trial will be refused from the line of questioning adopted by the bench is un doubted Shoemaker procured bail, but refused to make any sta ement in regard to the affi , davit. He would only say that it was a most cruel and unexpected development to him, and that he understood his wjhple pro fessional career was at stake. Mr. Rotan, Mr Shoemaker's colleague, was greatly worried over the affair, as he feared it would reflect upon him, but as it was clearly shown in court this morning that he had no hand in procuring the affi davit, the bench of judgea exonerated him from blame. Mr Rotan expressed the opinion that Mr. Shoemaker would re able tn ahnw his innocence of any guilty intent. and that he fell into a trap that was set for him. The finn'i Cotton Review.

"Exbcuhvk Mahsiohv I Washisgtoh, Feb. 4, 1893 ) "My Dxab Sib I have your telegram thanking me for sending your name to the Senate for the vacant position on the Su preme bench. My acquaintance with you in the Senate and the information I have had since from the bar of your circuit gave me. I thought, the needed assurance that you would exercise the duties of this high and responsible office with industry, fidelity and patriotism. "I have never believed in a partisan judi ciary. - Unly politics in the larger sense snould have anything to do with such ap pointments, I would not, of course, appoint to the Supreme bench a man who held views of the Constitution and of the powers of the general Government that I - thought subverted or diminished the necessary powers. "I have believed from my knowledge of you and representations of others that you were a believer in the nation and did not svmnathize with the oninion that a United States marshal was an alien official or that election frauds or any other infraction of the Federal statutes were deserving of aught but indignant - condemnation and pumsn .ment. "I know you to be a conscientious and in dustrious i udge and God fearing man, and if the Senate shall ratify your nomination I do not feirr that any passing criticisms which have fallen upon me for your selec tion will endure. "I have been most sincerely desirous of obliterating all sectional divisions ; have not been oblivious to the difficulties nndei which the South has labored; but have heen always most insistent that everybody must obey tne law and must yield to every other man his rights under the law. "With very great personal respect and witn tne best wishes for your happiness ana usefulness, i am sincerely your friend, Benjamin Harrison.'' AT THiU .EXPOSITION.

United 8tates Minister Terrell received a dispatch from Aleppo on the 16th inst., say ing that a massacre bad occurred at Aintab, sixty miles north-northeast of Aleppo The Governor of Aleppo was immediately in structed by wire to strenuously enforce the measures taken tor tne protection or tne American residents ia his jurisdiction. Minister Terrell nas obtained tram tne Porte an order for a guard of troops to pro tect the American missionaries, who, w th their families, are about to proceed to Van from Bitlis 5 The Porte is endeavoring to raise 1,000,- 000 for the purpose of assisting the mobili zation of troops, and offers to prolong the concession of the tooacco regie in account ing for a loan of that sum. In the last two weeks a tremendous pressure has been ex erted by the Porte upon the Armenian pa triarch to get him to send a circular note to all the Armenians in Asia Minor, exhorting them to keep quiet and lend themselves to no promoters of disturbances. The obje t of the Poite in taking this step is clearly to induce the belief that tne troubles are to a very great extent due to the aggressions of the Armenians themselves, and that the troops are merely suppressing riots when engaged in their work of slaughter. , Yielding to the pressure, the patnarcn finally drew up a nnte which he sent to the minister of police, Nasim Pasha for his ap Droval. In the mean'ime telegrams wee constantly arriving, telling of the fresh mas sacres,and the patriarch sent his secretary to Maaim rash a demanding tne return oi nis note.

Inded he cannot even command order among the troops attached to his own palace. innumerable reports are current in regard to the mental and physical condition of the Sultan, one of which asserts that he has be come afflicted with insomnia and for a pe riod of torty eight hours has not been able to sleep, According to this rumor, ne bus witn nis bead drooping, never needing any one who may speak to him and careless of anything that may go on around mm. ine spies in and about the palace have been doubled in number; but tne people no loneer hesitate to talk aeainst the 8ultan in the streets and in the cafes and other publio m At il f t i a.

Mr Terrell is constantly visiting the Sublime Porte and sometimes sees the Sultan him self in his insistence noon the Government affording absolute protection to American missionaries and other American citizens in Asia Minor. The missionaries are perfectly satisfied with the result of his action. . He is ceaseless in his efforts to protect the in terests of America and Americans.

Y.,Nov. 18 Attorney Gen eral Hancock has decided the Tobacco Trust case against the American Tobacco company on the ground that under the conspiracy aws their consignment agreement, which jbompels dealers to Bell their goods . exclu sively is illegal and constitutes a trust. The Attorney General' will immediately begin action in the Supreme court to prohibit the company from doing business in this State. i : It is generally believed that this is the first step in a movement against the different trusts, and that eventually the legality of . the business in sugar, leather, etc., by the combine companies will be subjected to like review in the courts. The efforts of the Chicago Gas combination to secure incor poration in this State is thus headed off. It ia understood in Syracuse that Attorney General Hancock is acting in sympathy with Governor Morton's wishes, and that this decision against the Tobacco trust ia only a beginning. Attorney General Hancock in his decision says:' . . "Application has been made to the Attor ney General to commence an action in the -name of the people against the American Tobacco company to ootain a iudement re straining the company from transacting their cigarette business in this State and to cancel the certificate of authority hereto fore granted to the company, authorizing it to carry on business in the State of New York. It appears from the papers presented Upon the hearing that the American Tobacco company is a New Jersey company, incopo rated on or about January 20, 1890, with a capital stock of $35,000,000, It is stated in its articles of incorporation that, the objects for which the company was formed were to eure leaf tobacoo and to buy, manufacture and sell tobacco in all its forms and to es tablish factories, agencies and depots for the sale and distribution thereof, and to trans port or cause to be transported, as an article of commerce and to do all things incidental to tne business oi trading and manufactur ing aforesaid. An action is now pending against the company in the State of New Jersey, in which it is alleged in substance that the company was oreanized for an un lawful purpose ; that the incorporatasa of the company originally consisted of firms and corporations transacting the same kind of business -in different States as competitors and entirely inde pendent of - each other ,L manufacturing and selling, among other products, 90 per cent, of the cigarettes manufactured and sold in the United States; that said firms and corporations, for the pu pose of pre venting competition among themselves, and in order to obtain a monopoly of the manu- iacture and sale or tnis particular line or. goods and .to. arbitrarily fix and maintain tne prices oi tnat commodity, entered into an agreement to organize a corporation, to be known as the American Tobacco com pany, in which they should respectively be come stockholders, receiving full paid stock in payment for the purchase of them by said company in which they were then en gaged, "Various other allegations are contained in said complaint, charging a conspiracy and unlawful combination noon the part of the original firms and corporations winch entered into the organization of the com pany in question, the object of which U al leged to establish and maintain an unlaw ul control of the manufacture and sale of the sid commodity and to crush out competi tion. .. '"In brief, the evidence and papers sub mitted to me are to the effect that 90 per cent or Over of the cigarettes manufac tured and sold in this and other States are the product of tne American Tobacco com pany, disposed of generally through agents wnose proht8 are the commissions allowed on the sales made by them; in other words, tne wnoiesale dealer, Jobber or whoever be may be, that obtains this commodity from the company for the purpose of commerce, is, with the exceptions 1 have before stated, at once turned into an agent of the com pany and subjected to its direction and con trol as to the terms and manner in which he shall dispose of this particular line of goods. It is claimed upn the part of the petitioner that the real object and purpose of this ar rangement and method of doing business is to compel jobbers and dealers to refrain from Belling any cigarettes except those , manufactured by the company, and that if they handle other brands tne company refuses to consign any further goods to them, and that inasmuch as much the larger part of tne cigarettes manufactured and sold are produced by the factories of the company, such a withdrawal result in great injury to. if not a destruc tion of the business ofsaid dealers. Various affidavits have been presented and deposi tions of witnesses have been read, tending to estabusn tnis claim oi tne petitioner." The Kentucky (legis attve Muddle Fbankpobt, Ky , Nov, 18 The resignation of ex-Speaker A. J, Carroll, of Louisville, awakens some interest in the , Senatorial race,' and on the outcome of his re election or defeat will most probably hirge the po litical complexion of the next Senator-to succeed Senator Blackburn. Should Mr, Carroll go down in defeat, with him will sink all hopes of the election of a Demo cratic Senator, and it will set at rest all doubt that the Legislature is Republican on j int ballot. Before Mr Carroll's resigna tion the Legislature stood bs to W, with the two Popu'ists holding the balance of power Horace J. Poor, of Pendleton, was elected on a combination between the Republicans, and Populists and. it is claimed with the understanding that he support a Republican for the United States Senate. Should this be the case, as in the contingency of Mr. Carroll's re-election there would still be a deadlock and should this be kept up to the end of the session, and Mr. Poor dis charged his obligation by standing'by the Republicans, then, it is thought by some. he might exercise bs personal preference and vote for Joe Blackburn or some other free silver Democrat, should one be nomi nated Neither side has yet given up the Legislature The situation is at present a most interesting one and in case of Mr. Car roll's re-elect idh. if the Republicans do not unseat members of the House, will inevi tably result in a deadlock - m m . . Negro Politician at Work in Missis. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 18 John R. Lynch, the colored Republican leader in the city, is en route to East Mississippi on a mission of advice and consultation with the local Re publican leaders, with a view to putting in the field a Congressional ticket a the Na tional election of next year This is to be the basis of the proposed contest before Congress and the courts of the Mississippi Conbtttntion Leading constitutional lawyers of the I -North and Bast advise taking: this course. Lynch's choice for President is MrKinley, but he is opposed to the Southern Republi cans taking an aggressive stand on the ques tion, but thinks they should, go to the Na tional convention uninstructea and be gov erned by the. dominant ' sentiment of the North. . : 'r Lvnch goes from here to Meridlan.Manon.

Morgan, col ored, ex-Grand Treasurer of North Carolina's Grand Lodge of Colored Masons, who two years ago embezzled $500 of the Grand Lodge's funds and fled the State. Morgan is in jail.

The weather last week was quite favorable to this disease. -. - The fire at the penitentiary Saturday night did no d mage to the brickyard, buildings. The building burned was a wooden shanty which stood outside of and within a few yards of the immense stone walL . ' - This evening there was a meeting of the ladies' committee and of the committee of aldermen concerning the gift to the cruiser Raleigh. The object was to provide ways ana means oi securing more money. In this week's issue of the Caucasian Hon. David Schenck, of Greensboro, will have a long and specially prepared article on the extension o.f the lease of the North Caro lina rail way-to the Southern railway. He takes the ground that the Southern nas no rights in North Carolina except by what ia known as comity; that its charter is only in ana ior Virginia and not in other states, and that the purpose in procuring a charter in only one 8tate is to have the advantage of going into the Federal and not the State courts when any question comes up. He also asserts that the State has the right to witnaraw tne lease or tne JNortn Carolina railway unless the Southern will agree to submit any disagreements to the State courts for arbitration. Senator Butler, after having written to all I tne "silver Senators," seems to have changed his mind somewhat It is said to day he only expects the Populist Senators to really stick to their promises to go for silver first, last and all the time It is thought that the attempt to get control oi tne senate will be made on party lines. He contends that ; th re is a majority of the silver men, and ! that if they stick to principle rather than to party tney will control the Senate. The editor of Senitor Butler's paper makes these statements. . He Bays, and with per- rect gravity too. "Senator Butler ia not a politician."

B. & J. M. Cornell iron works, it was stated that oyer 400 of their employes at work on - twelve . buildin gs had gone on strike to-day, as had about 500 men' em ployed by Milliken Bros, on eight buildings. In addition about 100 men were called out on buildings in Brooklyn, making a total of over 1 000 men employed by the two firms, caUed out as a starter. The strikers are members of the ' House- smiths and Bridgemen'a union. In case non union men are put to work sympathetic strikes will be ordered, and as the Iron league, composed of manufacturers, is de termined to fight against the union, from 10,000 to 20.000 men are likely to be called out in sympathy. -, The Btrike has been indorsed by the Board of Walking Delegates and by the Central Labor anion. The demands of the union include a wage sca'e running from $3.50 a day for firemen finishers to $2 50 a day for blacksmitn nmsners. . it is said that if the strikers not settled in a short time it is likely to be extended to other members of the Iron league and 40,000 may be affected- The Board of State Arbitration met at the Mur ray Hill hotel to-day to endeavor to bring about a compromise with the employers, with a view to arbitration.
