Terrific Gale Rcgcs Over Lake Michigan.

STEAMER PEERLESS WRECKED.

Driven on the Rocks at the Entrance ta St. Joseph Harbor—Her Crew Still on Board nnd May Be Lost Before Aid

Can Iteacli Tlicm—Fears Felt For Other Vessels.

CHICAGO, Oct. -8.—Lake Michigan was swept by a terrific gale yesterday. During the afternoon, from 1 to 3 o'clock the wind blew off the wpsfc shore at the rate of 44 indies an hour. Small craft had a bad time in the sea that suddenly rolled up.

The gale was stronger along the east shore where all kinds of shipping had a rough time. Storm signals were displayed on Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron. These signals will be floated until the storm subsides.

Snow was scheduled for Chicago, but the weather men chivied their "minds and the weather was clear.

Dispatches from St. Joseph, Mich., says: The steamer Peerless of the Lake Michigan and Lake Superior line went ap-round at the entrance to St. Joseph harbor 'yesterday evening and now lies in a perilous situation. The boat has shifted over on her side so that her gangways are under water and the stern is pounding badly on the rocks.

The Peerless left St. Joe docks at 2 o'clock yesterday bound for Chicago without cargo. Just outside the harbor, the gale had lashed up such a sea that the captain turned about and put back. In attempting to enter the channel, she went aground just inside the piers, listed over to one side several feet and lay •xposed to a furious west sea and large waves were constantly dashing against her.

Notugg were available in the St. Joe harbor and it was impossible to render any assistance to the disabled steamer until the sea runs down. It was feared that before the gale ceased to blow, the Peerless would be a wreck and possibly all on board would be lost.

Four Trainmen and Two Passengers Hurt in a, Grand Trunk Wreck.

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.—An eastbound passenger train on the Chicago and Grand Trunk railway was wrecked Saturday by running into a burned culvert near South Bend, Ind. Four trainmen and two passengers were more or less sen ously injured. The following are the names of the injured:

Conductor Muir, Engineer Beattie, Baggageman Patterson and Express Messenger Sharp, all of Battle Creek, Mich. A passenger named Rice of Saginaw was cut over the right eve, and

'More•w," The Graphic continues, "Russia has not approached the crisis in an antiEnglish spirit."

Arrests in Jackson's Hoi*.

RAWLINS, Wy., Oct. 28.—From troops ••tanning from Jackson's Hole it was learned that the United States marshal for Wyoming is now in Jackson's Hole for the purpose of arresting settlers who comprised the constable's posse, which in July last killed and wounded several Indians and precipitated the Bannock scare. It is relieved the entire posse, which consisted of Constable Manning and 2G deputies is to be arrested and brought before the United States court, which meets in Cheyenne early in November.

The Sultan's Mind Relieved.

LONDON, Oct.

28.—The

Constantinople

correspondent of The Times telegraphs that a threatening letter was found in the palace addressed to the sultan recently. An inquiry incriminated 14 members of the imperial household. All of them were executed on *•-*•ne day within tho precincts of Yiluiz. Thus the sultan's mind was relieved of a very great weight.

Detroit looses Warship.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Secretary Herbert has decided against awarding to the Detroit Towboat company, the contrac for builuing two of the new gunboats for the navy, notwithstanding it was the lowest bidder. Presumably our agreement with Great Bi-itain, binding each nation against building or putting war vessels on tho great lakes, caused this decision.

ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.

B. H. Holmes Will Swn ftce His Accusers in Uaurt.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28.—H. H. Holmes, or Herman Mugett, whose name or alias has rung throughout the length and breadth of the continent as the most unscrupulous and skillful murderer of modem times, will be placed on trial for his lite to-day in the court of Oyer and Terminer of this city. The specific charge to which he will be called upon to answer is the murder of Benjamin E. Pietzel, and he has already officially declared himself not guilty.

The revolting details of the many crimes with which Holmes' name has been directly or indirectly connected have been given such publicity and the cold implacable demeanor which has characterized the man throughout, has been so frequently commented upon, that the trial will probably pass into history as the most celebrated case

Witnesses have bceu brought to this city from Boston. Chicago, Indianapolis, Irvington, Ind., and almost every city where Holmes is known to have lived at various times. What revelations these witnesses will make has been kept a profound secret by the prosecuting officers, but there is expectation of sensational developments. Detective Geyer, who has been for months traveling extensively throughout the country in search of evidences of Holmes' movements, will be one of the principal witnesses for the commonwealth. The skull and portions of the body of Pietzel, so well as the remains of the boy, Howard Pietzel, who is thought to have been murdered by Holmes in Indianapolis, will be exhibited during the course of the trial.

Judge Arnold will be upon the bench and he has already signified his intention of holding three sessions a daymorning, afternoon and night—so long as the persons interested can stand the strain Tlv prosecution will be in the hands of District Attorney Graham and a corps of assistants, while the interests of the prisoners will be guarded by Messrs. Shoemaker and Rotan, young members of the local bar.

Consequent upon the widespread publicity given the case, it is feared that several days will be occupied in securing a jury of men who have not already formed decided opinions concerning the guilt or innocence of Holmes.

It is impossible to learn even approximately the number of witnesses to be called on either side, but that there will be a goodly number is apparent from tha precautions that will be taken to insure their entrance to the courtroom. Announcement has been made that ily those who have business therein will be admitted and an increased corps of court officers, augmented by a detail of reserve policemen, mil enforce this order at the doors.

The murder of Pietzel, if murder it was, occurred more than a year ago. The body, burned and blackened as if by an explosion, was discovered in the the house, No. 1826 Callowhill street, this city, on Sept. 3, 1894, and as he had been known as an inventor named Perry, the supposition was that he had met death by accident while experimenting. Subsequently the charge was made that Pietzel had been murdered by Holmes in an attempt to defraud the Fidelity Mutual Life association of Philadelphia, out of $10,000, which had been paid by the company to Mrs. Pietzel, who was supposed to have been a party to the conspiracy, Holmes having first introduced Pietzel to the company.

Holmes was arrested in Boston on NOT. 17 and Mrs. Pietzel is in custody, as, probably, the principal witness against hiin.

There is a likelihood of the case conBurning several weeks' time, umless unforeseen circumstances arise to bring it to a speedy conclusion.

OVERDUE VE8SELS.

Xh# Lord Bpenccr, Star of Anitria and tho Earl of Hepetown Probably Lwt.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.—The Merchants' Exchange announced that no information has bees received from the overdue vessels bound from this eity to foreign ports. While there is still hope of hearing from the Lord Spencer, which left here 200 days ago for Queenstown, it is not believed that the Star of Austria, bound to Queens town, and the Earl of Hopetown for Adelaide will ever be heard from again. Although the Lord Brassey has been out 82 days from Hong-Kong to Port Blakelv, her absence is accounted for by the fact that she is alight ship with a foul bottom.

More than usual interest is centered in the Lord Spencer than any vessel that has ever sailed from this port. When it was announced that the British underwriters were offering 80 per cent for reinsurance there was a rush to get some of the risks. The offer of the British underwriters made business brisk for the brokers. No overdue vessel for many years has opened up so many transactions as the Lord Spencer. Sl"i''"!'i -ii ,- 1..tte.r fail to arrive at her destination the shipping and insurance men oi Uiis eity will be badly beaten. If, however, the Lord Spencer turns up within the next few days, thousands of dollars will be raked in by the speculators.

California Wants tho Convention SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.—The Leagno of Republican newspapers of California, has adopted an appeal to the party management to hold the next national convention in San Francisco. The appeal recites the fact that California has been slighted for years by the east. Attention is called to the excellent hotel accommodations, stating that arrangements for holding the convention will be made by tho people here. The ap"Let the Republican party

Hutulretl Voting Men, All Well Armed, Are Now Kn Iloute to Cuba.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Carlos Manuel Des Ceped'-js, son of the first president of the Cub provincial republic of 20 years ago, is upon the high seas, at the head of a secret expedition, which expects to land in Cuba in a few days. He is accompanied by nearly 100 enthusiastic young men, all armed, who have determined to tight the Spaniards for Cuba's liberation.

The expedition was quietly filled out in this city during the past three months

a conviction and no money was spared to make it a success. It started from the Delaware river early last week.

The vessel which carries Des Cepedes and his men to Cuba is a large schooner of the clipper style, fitted with rapidfire guns. She has in her hold 500 Winchester and "Remington rifles, 500.000 cartridges, two Gatling guns, 500 machetes and half a ton of dynamite.

The men who accompany Des Cepedes are well drilled and uniformed. They received their military instructions in this city, and long before the expedition started, they were trained to the use of the rifle, broadsword and machete. Upon their arrival in Cuba, they expect to join the regular revolutionary army under General Maximo Gomez.

Carlos Manuel Des Cepedes is tha only son of the late General Cepedes. He was born in this country 25 years ago, and speaks English fluently.

Des Cepedes and his followers left Jersey City for Philadelphia on Sunday. They did not all go over the same route, but selected different ways to reach their destination. Upon their arrival in Philadelphia, they went to different hotels, and the following inornin boarded a large ocean-going tug whit... had been chartered to take the party down the Delaware.

No Cnban Day at th® Exposition.

ATLANTA, Oct. 28.—At a meeting yesterday of directors of the cotton states and international exposition, many directors who were not present when a day was set aside for Cuba brought the matter up again and insisted that the exposition company should not take part in matters, of international concern. After discussion the day was postponed from Nov. 6 to Dec. 17. Thia is regarded as virtually an indefinite postponement, for the day is so near th© close of the exposition that it is not likely it will be further considered.

General Campos Interviewed.

MADRID, Oct. 28.—A dispatch to The Imparcial from Havana contains an interview with General Campos, in which he opines that the United States will recognize the insurgents as belligerents when it suits her internal policy. The prospect has not alarmed him, he says, for Spain would then know exactly how matters stood.
