PHILADRLOTIA, April 11. -The North American of this city today prints what purports to be sentences from the confes- slon slloged to have been made by Mur- doror H. H. Holmes. Among other things, the story says: . In profucing the confession, which cov- org In full nearly three newspaper pages, writton in Holmes' own handwriting, and detailing with a minuteness that is simply at times revolting, the nech mutilator and nuthor of 27 murders, as he admits him- self to be, states with something like pathos that ho doés so'stimply that he may obtain enuugh' money to educate his boy.

I was born with tho evil one standing as my sponsor beside the bed. where 1 was ush ared Into the world, and ho has been with mo slnce. \The inclinution to murder came to me as miutiirally as the inspiration to do right contes to the majority of persons. \Whore others' hearts were touched with pity mine {lted with cruolty, and . whore in othors the feeling was to savo life, I revelled in the thought of destroy» Ing the samc. \Not only that, I was not satisfied in taking If in the ordinary way.

It wus not until after he wis graduated, fully equipped with the knowledge of pol- gous and the casist way to sever the sin: plo thread of lio, that Holmes began his carper as a murderer and mutilator.

APRIL 1¥P.. \And Pyent 4 haye cominitted siz other murders, \ be acged, 'had not certidil occurences Posstify ano of the worst, most brutal, revolting and disgusting ovimes this arch- mutilator ever committed was one ho speaks of in a chapter dovored to his boy, tue son of his wife, whom he married in New England while hut a youth. 'The chapter in aucs.on tells a story thas ia hardly credible, coming us it doas from the lips of a fawiet, and outrunks for bur- barous cruelty any other act he ever com- mitted. The only explanmion he offers is that he did it simply to grati'y his love of nu- tilation. \It was shortly after I was married,\ he declares \and our boy was then but a youngster, playing about with other lads of his own size and ago, when I was seized with a wild desire to destroy. \I called him in from the road, where he was frollicking about like an innocent with a lot of other lads, and took him out to a rear barn. \I don't know what it was possessed me, but I took a surgicnl knife along with me. It was not tho sudden impulse nor the maddening desire of a father, seeing his child about to grow up and enter a world of sorrow and sin, that led me to the deed. No, it was not that. It was simply the craving of the murderer within me that inspired me to nake a subject of my little one. \I noticed that there was a terrible look of fear on the little fellow's face as I took him into the barn, and he trembled as I took the knife and told him to undress. \I have often thought since that it was like the look of the scared rabbit laid on the operating table as its pitiful eyes search the group about him and see them all intent only on the anticipated inci- sion.\ p 'With the utmost nbandon and with here and there asigh of regret, Holmes then tells how he went through the operation of mutilating his own son. He tells how his own fiecsh and blood was made to subndt to the barbarous blade, und then and there was mutilated simply to pacify the cravings of a mur- derer's hourt. Finished with that, Holmes felt satis- fled and did not murder his boy outright. RELICS OF THE HOLMES TRIAL. The Articles Will All Be Turned Over to Mrs. Pitezel. PHILADELPHIA, April 11. - Assistant District Attorney Barlow announces that sall the relics that figured in the trial of H, H. Holmos for the murder of Benja- «min F. Pitezol will be shipped to Mrs. Pitezel at Galva, Ills., as soon as the law has finally disposed of the murderer. They will .include, besides Pitezel's pic- ture, the,fragmentary remains of the three murdered children. - Mrs. Pitezol within the past few days requested her counsel here to arrange for the shipment so that she might give do- cent interment to what was left of her doad little ones. She also inquires if she cannot obtain all or part of the money taken from her by Holmes while he was taking her about the country. 'This is interesting in view of the state- ment that Holmes has received a large sum for his alleged confession. - Mrs. Pite- zel's counsel would not state whether any judgment would be entercd against Holmes, but it is believed nothing will be done. Mrs. Pitezel also inquires if steps can- not be taken to compel Lawyer Howe of St. Louis, Holmes' alleged co-conspirator in the insurance swindle, to return the $2,500 she alleges he obtained from her. Hor counsel is now considering just what steps to take in both these matters. GREATER NEW YORK VETOED. Almost Certain That Mayor Strong Has Followed Wurster's Example. ALBANY, April 11.1-'Lhe announcement to the effect that Mayor Wurster of Brook lyn had vetoed the Greater New York bill was not received with much surprise for it had been genurally expected, but there wus the greatest anxicty to find out just what action the mayor of New York had taken upon the matter., Edward A. Cole of Mayor Strong's office brought the Greater New York bill and the memorandum of Mayor Strong, which he deposited with Clerk Kenyon ind took a receipt, He had been preceded by the messenger of the mayor of Brooklyn, who had also delivered a senled package and boun given a receipt for it. Both declined to say what the contents of the packages wore or what the action of the municipal authorities had been. President pro tem. Elsworth was in the room when the packages were deliv- ered and upon his advice they were loft intact and deposited in the safe to be opened only on Monday night. The general belief as to the action of Mayor Strong among both Republicans afd Democrats is thit the mayor has vetoed the bill. Acting Speaker O'Grady said he had al- most definite news as to. this assumed fact and Senator Lexow said that he had heard from an nuthoritative source that such was the fret. Mayor Glenson of Long Island has re- turned the bill with his approval. Appropriation For Defenses. WASHINGTON, April 11.1-The house com- mittee on : propriations has reported tho bill for fortifications and other works of defense for their armament and for heavy ordnance for tris and service for the fis- cal year which begins next J uly.

A BOLD ROBBERY, | Two Young Men Held Up (In Broad Daylight. OVER $2,000 STOLEN. VICTIMS WERE EMPLOYED BY A MANTFACTURING CONCERN AND 'THE MONEY WAS TO PAY ITS EMPLOYES-ONE OF THEM ARRESTED) ONSUSPICION. NEw YorXK, April 11.1.-A highwayman attacked in employe of the Gleason Lamp Manufacturing company of Houston and Mercer strects at Broadway and Great Jones street and, it is claimed, robbed him of a satchel containing $2,015. 'The robbery occurred within the sight of a crowd of people standing in Great Jones street, a policeman and hundreds of pe- destrians in Broadway. Two employes of the company were sent to the Astor Pluce bank to collect $2,015, the amount of the company's pay- roli for the week. Thirty minutes later they reported to the police of the Mercer street station that after having collected the money, and while standing at the cor- ner mentioned looking into a show win- dow, a highwayman ran up from behind and, after assaulting one of the employes, grabbed the satchel containing the money. The thief made his escape through East Fourth struct. The young men who were robbed are James Scott, 17 years old, and Walter Price, 19 years old. - Both wore employed as clerks by the Gleason Manifacturing company. Alter the detectives had made a thorough investigation of the case Price was locked up in the Mercer street station at the request of O. P. Gleason, the head of the firm by which the young men were employed. | Scott was detained as a wit- ness. The sergeant questioned them closely They told stories which differed some- what. After Walter Price had been in the sta- tion house a considerable time he made to Detective Caddell whats the police believe to be damaging admissions. He told the detective thas while he was on his way to the Astor Pluce bank he met a man named Duffy, He said also that he met the same man on his way back. As the two met, Price said Duffy, or someone, struck him & blow which dazed him, and when he re- covered himseif he turned and saw Duffy running away with the bag, which he had snatched from his hand. The detective also learned from Price that he had been greatly in need of money lately of his relations with a young woman in Harlem. The police at once started a search for the man Duffy, but they scarcely expected to apprehend him immediately for he had an good chance to leave the city or conceal himself. Eeotb told such a straight story of the affair to the police that he was permitted to go free. - Ife will be an important wit- ness for the prosecution. VICTORY FOR GREECE.

Stephen Vincent Ryan, bishop of Buffalo. was born in Almont, Canada, Jan. 1, 1825. His parents were worthy and intelligent people, and he, having early in life evinced an aptitude towards holy things, was des- tined for a religious life. When the fut- ure bishop was still very young his par- ents came to the United States, settling In the southern part of Pennsylvania, where comnections of the family still re- side. Soon after their arrival here the young Stephen was sent to school in Philadel- phia at the Seminary of St. Charles of Boromeo, where he pursued his studies for the priesthood. After remaining there for some mouths he went West and joined the Lazarus community, whose mother house was then at the Barrens, Perry county, Wisconsin. Here the young recluse passed peaceful and studious days, being at length and when barely of the requisite age admitted to the priesthood. He was ordained by Archbishop Kebrick in 1849. He was almost immediately after his ordination, selected by his superiors for the presidency of St. Vincent's college, at the Cape GirarJeau mission. Afterwards, and on the recall to Italy of the then visitor or superior of the Laz» arites in the United States, Father Ryan was ch son by the authorities in Paris to take possession of the vacaut office and fulfill its im; ortant duties. He was prob- ably the youngest man that ever iilled that office. He continued in this position for a term of years and until his election and consecration as bishop of Buffalo on Nov. 8, 1868. : The body of Bishop Ryan will lie at his late residence on Dolaware avenue until Sunday afternoon, when it will be es- corted to the cathedral, there to lie in state until the funeral, which will take place at the cathedval next Tuesday morn- ing at 9:80 o'clock. f The remains of the bishop will \be laid under the eathedral altar beside the body of Bishop Timon and Monsignor Gleeson, Father Sheahan, chancellor of the dic- crse, will bo master of ceremonics at the funeral.

The government troops have been twice engaged with this force of Leonists. A few men have been killed on both sides, but President Zélaya's force was not strong enough to drive back the enemy and it returned to Managua unsuccessful.

According to present indications the revolution in Nicaragus will continue as long as either side can pay, feed and clothe its soldiers. In other words, the soldiers on both sides are quite willing to remain under arins and live without labor just as long as people will pay them to do so. So far as fighting is concerned neither side is in a position to do very much exe- cution, even if their troups were willing to undertake the task.
