A marriage bell ot white roses swung racefully over the altar, and was suspended by ropes of roses.

The general effect was artistic In the extreme. Tho Cincinnati Enquirer says of the wedding: "The Rev.

sion on Speaker Randall was shown by tho fact that in the next, the Forty sixth congress, ho annotated Malor McKinley a mem ber of the Judiciary committee, and also a visitor to the Military academy at West Point. McKinley was elected to the Forty sixth congress, receiving 15,489 vctcs to 14,255 votes for willy, Democrat, and 1,277 lor riunter, rsa tional. That congress was also convened in extra session by President Hayes, on account the failure of the army and legislative appropriation bill. It met on April 18, 1S70, and a long and bitter contest followed, grow ing outof the attempt to put riders on tnose bills repealing the election laws, and the use troops at the polls, the session terminating on June ID, 1S79. On April 18, Mr.

McKinley made an elaborate speech on the legislative bill In respect to these "rider3," in the course which he had a sharp and spirited controversy with two of the best debaters on the Democratic side Messrs. Blackburn of Kentucky and McMahon of Ohio. He had quoted from Mr. Blackburn's speech made a few days previously to theuow famous sentence that "we do not intend to stop until we have stricken the last vestige of your war meieures from the statute book." Mr. Blackburn was then presiding fn the committee of the whole, and in referring to him McKinley said: "The gentleman from Kentucky is one of those brave, courageous men who speak the sentiments of his party and does not cover them up." Mr.

Blackburn then took the floor, made an explanation, and the incident was closed. There was little legislation of importance in that congress, and none relating to the tariff. Mr. McKinley was elected to the Forty seventh congress, receiving 20,221 votes to for Thompson, Democrat. The house of representatives was Republican by a small majority, and General Keefer of Ohio was elected speaker.

So well recognized was McKiniey's knowledge of the tariff question, that at tho special request of Judge Kelley of Pennsylvania he was placed fourth on the committee on ways and means. He was also made chairman of the committee on revision of the laws, of which he was the tail end member in the Forty fifth congress. The tariff legislation in the second session of that congress, ending in the passage of the act of 3. 1SS3. is too recent and well known to require summarizing here.

Suf flee it to say that Mr. McKinley took an ac tive and conspicuous part in the proceedings, especially in respect to the bill reported by the tariff commission, and then on the senate amendment to the internal revenue act. He was elected to the Forty eighth congress according to the county returns, to the state canvassing board, receiving 16,906 votes to 16,898 for Jonathan Wallace, Democrat. Mr. Wallace contested the seat, and the committee on elections, by Mr.

Turner of Georgia, reported In favor ot Wallace, though Mr. Robertson of Kentucky, a Democrat, Joined the minority In declaring Mr. McKinley duly elected by a majority of 39. Several Democratic members. Including that brilliant apostle of free trade, Frank Hurd, of Ohio, voted in his favor, but he was unseated on May 27.

Ho had been appointed the third Republican member on the ways and means committee and the vacancy thereon created by his retirement, was not filled by Speaker Carlisle until the last day of that session, on July 3, when Thomas B. Reed of Maine, was appointed in his place. Mr. McKinley was elected to the Forty ninth congress receiving 22,672 votes to 20, 643 votes for D. R.

Page, and 668 scattering, and went back on the ways and means committee as the tail end member. The second Morrison tariff bill was reported in this con gress, and Mr. McKinley was selected by his Renublican colleagues to make the minor ity report. It was, and still is, regarded as an exceedingly able presentation of the Republican side of the tariff question, and was slened bv bis colleajrues, Messrs. is.euey Browne ot Indiana, and Reed.

He was elected to the Fifty first congress, receiving 25,249 votes to 21.150 for George J. Kent. He D6 coma aechlididate for speaker and received a large number ot votes on the first ballot in the Republican caucus. It would be a waste of time to even summarize the part he took in the proceedings connected with the law known as the Mc Kinley act of October 1, 1890, or to dwell on his reports from the committee on rules. Among tho latter were resolutions making a special order for bills from the cemmittee on labor and public buildings and.

grounds; for im Dortant general pension legislation; for tne silver coinage bill; for a special committee on the world fair; to limit debate on tne tariff bill, etc. All these proceedings have doubtless been fully compiled by Mr. Hanna a "literary bureau." and will appear at length in pamphlet or newspaper form before the St. Louis convention meets. A glance at tne record thus given will show that ex Governor McKinley led a busy congressional life and that he had little time, especially in the Fifty first congress, for dres3 parade.

It will also snow that he took a part In all the great questions before the house of representatives LET'S OFFICE. and that while the tariff question was his specialty, he wss well fitted to take part in discussions on the silver, currency and funding questions and that he was, as the phrase goes, CDe of the best of the all around debaters on the Republicau side of tho house.

Preparations are well on the way for the annual carnival of the juvenile classes of William Pitt Rivers, the dancing teacher, which will be given in the Academy of Music on Monday evening, May 11. The carnival this year will be for the benefit of the St. Giles' Home for tho Cripple, on Clinton street.

A largo number of people prominent in society and in charitable work are interested in the affair, and indications are that It will be a pronounced success. The programme is an attractive one, and includes Mr. Rivers' operetta, "The Sleeping Princess," introucing the same jolly little Brownies who were so mich liked last year; "Six Little Maidens of Today," and numerous fancy dances. The charity is a deserving one and a number of influential people are lending their support to tho carnival.

STORY OF THE PITEZEL MURDERS How the Fidelity Insurance Company Was Swindled Out of $10,000 Clever Detective Work Outlined in an Interesting Book Dealing With the Murder Children Lured to Toronto and Killed by Their Father's Murderer. In Philadelphia, on Thursday of the present week, will be hanged one of the most remarkable criminals of the century. This man is Herman Webster Mudgett, better known un der his alias of H. H. Holmes.

He was con victed of murdering Benjamin F. Pitezel, and there is not the shadow of a doubt that he subsequently murdered three of Pitezel's children and plotted to kill their mother and the other 'two. Since he has become convinced that he cannot escape the gallows, ho has confessed to the killing of several other people. For the conviction of Holmes special credit attaches to a member of the Philadelphia police department, Frank P. Geyer, who has just published a hook containing an account of the efforts in that direction.

It is an interesting book, particularly because it is a detective story that is true. According to Detective Geyer Herman Webster Mudeett was born at Gilmaniton, N. on May 16, 1860, so that at the present tlmo he is not quite 36 years of age. On the Fourth of July, 1878, he was married ait Alton, in his native state, to Clara A. Lovering.

In 1887, on January 28, he married Myrta Z. Belknap, but as his first wife was not dead he decided tor obvious reasons to change his name and called hlmsell Harry Howard Holmes. Less than a month after his marriage to Myrta Belknap Holmes filed In the superior court ot Cook county, 111., a libel in divorce against Clam A. Lovering Mudgett, but this action was thrown out of court because of his own failure to appear. Then in Chicago, two years later, he met Georgian Yoke, woo on January 17, 18(4, became his third wife, neither of the other two wives being dead or divorced, a fact of which she was unaware.

She knew him as Henry Mans fleld Howard. In the fall of 1893 Holmes mado his first move not his first on the chess board of crime but tho first in the game that led to his undoing. He mado application to the Fidelity Mutual Life association for a $10,000 twenty year policy, which was granted. A few months later the same company insured for $10,000 Benjamin F. PHezel, Holmes' partner in crime and his first victim.

In August this man, under the name of B. F. Perry, rented a house at 1,316 Callowhlll street, Philadelphia. On September 4, Pitezel was found in an upper room of this house dead. It was arranged between the two men that or Perry, as he was known to the neighbors, should be burned by an explosion from the effects of which he should apparently die, but instead a corpse hired or purchased for the occasion should be palmed off on the insurance company as his.

This was the plot as Pitezel knew it. Holmes intended, how ever, that the explosion not only should burn but also kill his confederate. Dead men tell no tales and there would be one less to share the $10,000. Geyer tells how Pitezel looked when discovered. The upper part of the body was found to be nSubh tfecoihposed.

The left arm was extended along and close to the left side, the right arm across the Creast altogether a very peaceful posture. He was rigid and straight, as if he had been ceremoniously laid out In death. The left side of the shirt and the left breast had been burned and the mustache on one side and the forelock of balr were singed. The body under the arm was not burned at all. At the side lay the fragments of a large broken bottle, a pipe filled with tobacco and a burnt match.

The tobacco in the pipe had been but slightly charred. The coroner's physician found the brain normal, the body well nourished, the lungs congested, the heart empty and nor mal and free from clots, indicating that death had been very rapid with him. Death from congestion of the lungs caused by the inhala tion of flame, or of chloroform or other poison ous drug was the verdict rendered. Pitezel's body lay in the Philadelphia morgue for eleven days. Then it was burled In potter field.

Before this, however, two letters were received in Philadelphia from a St. Louis lawyer named Jeptha D. Howe, who said that he represented Carrie A. Pitezel, wife of Benjamin F. Pitezel.

The man who was known, he said, as B. F. Perry and who was found dead in the house In Callowhlll street, was none other than Pitezel. The Insurance company, to which one of the letters was addressed, notified its Chicago branch office to find out all it could about the dead man. particularly to ascertain the names of peopie who had known him in Chicago.

The company received word from the Chicago office that the only man who knew Pitezel well was H. H. Holmes of Wil mette, 111. Communication was opened between the company and Holmes, and through the latter's instrumentality the body was identified. Howe and Holmes claimed not to have known each other until they met in the insurance office in Philadelphia.

Alice Pitezel, the dead man's daughter, who came from St. Louis with Howe, also identified the body. The Fidelity company accepted the identification, which was apparently so honestly made, and paid over the $10,000. of which Mrs. Pitezel got about $500.

Holmes took about $7,500 and Howe the rest. Had those two conspirators given $500 of their 111 gotten funds to another man the murder of Benjamin Pitezel might have remained undiscovered. Fortunately for the public good, there was in this instance no honor among thieves, and it is flue to Marion C. Hedgepeth. awaiting sentence in a St.

Louis jail for train robbery, that the insurance company was made aware of the fraud that had been perpetrated upon Holmes seems to have been attracted to Hedgepeth by his reputation for nerve. At any rate, he went to him and outlined the plan arranged with Pitezel to "do" the insurance company. He wanted a safe lawyer and the train robber recommended Howe. For his part in the transaction Hedgepeth was to receive $500. When he found that ho was not to get the money, he notified the police of the overtures made to him.

Holmes was followed in Kingston, Canada; Detroit, Burlington, THtcn and Gllmanton, N. and finally in Boston, where he was arrested on November 17. 1S94. This arrest was on a telegram from Fort Worth. Texas, charging him with hcrse stealing.

He said he guessed he was wanted in Philadelphia by tho Fidelity company and not in Fort Worth for the horse business. It was quite evident that he preferred not to eo to Texas. Mrs. Pitezel, who knew of the fraud against the company planned by her husband and Holmes, was living in Hurling ton in a house hired for her by Holmes With her were her baby and her oldest daughter. Dersie, about 16 years old.

She was brought to Boston by a decoy letter and locked up. Mrs Pitezel did not know at this time that her husband was dead. She was made to believe by Holmes that Ben was in South America and would return to her. The charge of conspiracy against the woman was finally dropped, as sne waa in a condition verging on Insanity owing to tho disappear ance ot the rnree cniioren wno sad Deen intrusted to Holmes' care. The district atcor nev of Philadelphia accused Holmes ot mur derine: them.

This, ot course be strenu ously denied. Detective Geyer then did his cleverest work. He was detailed to find the missing children, and by dint of hard and unceasing labor, after tracing them from city to city throughout the country, he located the burial places or all three and fastened their murder upon the monster Holmes. The remains of Alice and Nellie Pitezel were found July 15 In the cellar of the house 1.6 St. Vincent street.

Toronto, and on August 27 the body of Howard was discovered in a house at Irvington. a tew rallos from Indianapolis. Holmes was indicted for Pitezel's murder on September 12; trial begun on October 2S and was sentenced on November 30. The motive for the murder of tho was this: Holmes and the father had quarreled' in Chicago in June of July of 1S94. Tho subject of their dispute was the interest which Pitezel claimed in the Castle property in Chicago and tho Williams real estate in Fort Worth.

Tex. Pitezel knew a great deal about Holmes' past life, and being a drinking man who talked when in his cups, was a dangerlous confederate Holmes wanted to eet him out of the way and he did. Then he decided to get rid of the whole family, which would have left him the undisputed owner of of a Interesting Points in the Career of a Presidential Candidate. HIS CAPACITY FOR HARD WORK. When at the National Capital the Distinguished.

Ohloati Lodged at the Eb bitt House, Where He Transacted a Vast Amount of Business His Early Struggles Recognition Came Slowly at First. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D. May 2 William Mc Klnley came to Washington with the presidential party to attend the inauguration of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1877, and from that time on whenever he visited the national capital he has been a guest at the Ebbitt house. For many years ho occupied rooms on the third floor, facing the north, but ho afterward took a suite of rooms on the same floor facing west and overlooking Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue in order to get the benefit of the sun.

His object in changing was to get brighter quarters for his. wife, who was an invaJId. He had another room on the same floor, directly opposite his parlor, which he used as his office. This room remains today just as he left it when he retired from congress. Burch, the proprietor ot the Ebbitt house, says that Major McKinley was the hard WILLIiAM MC KINLEY.

est worker he ever saw with the exception of Oliver P. Morton of Indiana. The Ohio congressman was always to be found in Washington while congress was in session, and he was at his post of duty during tho longest and hottest summers, taking practically no rest or recreation. He was an early riser, and every morning at 7 o'clock he used to come down stairs and get his mall. Returning to his office he would look over his correspondence and read the papers until Mrs.

McKlnlev was ready for breakfast, when the two would come down together. He was always the first guest of tho hotel about in the morning, and the last one to go to bed at night. Probably more men visited Major McKinley during, his residence at this hotel than over before called on a public man in this country, and during the Fifty first congress, when the tariff bill was being discussed, a steady stream of people passed in and out of his apartments all the time. Those who knew him well say that he was always accessible, and received the humblest office seeker with as much consideration as he gave to the most distinguished politician or statesman. His ability for disposing of a large amount of business In a limited times was something remarkable.

No matter how many visitors he had he always contrived to give to each a special hearing. He had a happy faculty of transacting business mattera in a quick, but pleasant manner. At this period of his life his personal magnetism and ability to attract people to him was most remarkable, and the old employes of the Ebbitt house still speak of him with regard and respect. He won their affection by his consideration, and it is said of him that during all the excitement of politics he never lost his calm and dignified MAVJOR MC KIN' manner, and that even during tho most trying days of the tariff fight during the Fifty first congress ho always preserved an unruffled appearance. Among tho guests at the hotel were many who differed with him politically, and who were unalterably opposed to his viows on the tariff, yet when ho left his departure was regretted by everyone.

Ex Governor McKiniey's congressional career began with the Forty fifth congress, to which ha was elected, receiving 16.4S9 votes to 1S.1S5 for Sanborn, Democrat, and 2,441 tor John R. Powell, greenbacker. That congress was convened in extra session on October 15, 1877, by President Hayes on account of the failure of the army appropriation bill at the last session of the Forty tourth congress. "I well remember ex Governor McKiniey's appearance at that extra session." said a man long connected with tne nouse ot representa tives to the Eagle correspondent. "He was I then a chubby faced, rosy cheeked man of 35, and was considered one of the handsome men of the house." McKinley was quiet, modest and unobtrusive, and so little impression did he make on Speaker Randall that he was assigned as tail end member of the unimportant committee on revision of the laws, which committee rarely met.

and then did nothing. He did not introduce a bill or petition in that session, did not make a speech or an incidental remark, but voted every time with his party on the sharp contest cf that short session, which ran into the regular (or second) session ot that congress. At tho next session, Speaker Randall having a Republican vacancy on the still more unimportant committee on expenditures in the post office department, filled the gap by appointing Mr. McKinley. The record shows that the present numerous petitions from his district against reduction in tariff duties, especially in respect to wool, and that his first appearance in debate was in Louisiana contested election case, in which he showed that he had not only studied the case thoroughly, but was a ready debater.

His first "set" speech was on the tariff bill, "to impose duties on foreign imports, reduce taxation, reported by Fernando Wood from the committee on ways and means. It was made in April, 1S7S, at an evening session, and was an elaborate argument, bristling with statistics and was largely drawn upon subsequently by many Republican members who followed him.

SPEECHES AT THE "Flags, Fireworks and Talk Show the Enthusiasm of the Labor Party for Their Cause The "Odious System of Class Robbery and Despotism" Emphatically Denounced Resolutions Favoring International Socialism. It was by no means disloyalty to the observance of May day that led the socialist labor men of Kings county to defer their parade until last night. The choice of Saturday, evening for parading purposes was simply in conformity with tie practice in nearly all countries within the past few years, of choosing the nearest available day to May day, when workmen can assemble without loss ot time and pay.

The parade, which started from the vicinity, of 205 Ewen street last night, was a peaceful and an enthusiastic one. The street had, to soma extent, during the day, been decorated with flags and banners. E. T. Neben organizer of the Kings county section, acted as marshal.

Brewers' union No. 69, Goodyear's Welt and Shoeworkers' union, the Framers' union, the Danish Turn Verein anil various Scandinavian and German organizations in the eastern district. There were displays of fireworks at various points along the route. There was a particularly good pyrotechnic display at Leonard and Boerum streets, where the procession was joined by the German branch of the socialist labor, party and several organizations of the social ist trade labor alliance. At Ritter hally 87 Bartlett street, the procession was further vagS" mented by anothor division of the socialist trade and labor alliance.

This hall was decorated and fireworks displayed. A feature ot the procession was the new flag of the section, which was borne along. It bears as an emblem an arm holding a hammer and at the bottom are the words: "Industry must thrive." Altogether there were perhaps four thousand people in the parade. The route was as follows: From Bwam street to Ten Eyck street, to Graham avenue, to Grand street, to Ewen street, to Montrose avenue, to Leonard street, across Broadway to Throop avenue, to Bartlett street, to Broadway, to Flushing avenue, to Myrtle avenue, to Will oughby avenue.

T. Xeben and P. Fiebiger. Tho speakers in German were Franz Scubert, one of the oldest members of the party in tho country, and president ot the Long Island Turn Bezlrk and Sol S. Swartz.

Several singing societies provided music for the occasion. At the opening of the meeting the drum and fife corps played the air "Onward to Victory." The following resolutions were passed amW great enthusiasm: Resolved, That wo are in full symivathy mid with the millions ot oppressed tollers there to ay throughout the world who maretl imited'v under the banner of international socialism.

"At the international congresses of the socialistic labor party held in Parts, In lSSe," said a leading socialist to Eagle reporter, last night, "tho first of May was agreed upoa as the date for the holding of the annual parades, and then the tocsin of the eight hoyr movement was first sounded.

For various reasons the anniversaries are being observed noar. in place of on the first of May. Fop instance, in London, Sunday is a favorite clay, if it falls on or near the May day. Ia some parts of Austria the day Is observed aa a national holiday. It suited us beat to have the parade in the eastern district tonight rather than yesterday.

Since 1889, every year the enthusiasm for our boenme broader and deeper, each annual manifestation surpassing the former in area, and numbers. While the May day demonstrations were formerly eight hour demonstrations, they are now everywhere, taking the form of an emphatic protest against the wage system in Its entirety.
