ATLANTA, Nov. 5.-Recorder John W. Goff of New York, who recently spent four or five days in Atlanta, is back in New York, and is talking glowingly of Atlanta and the exposition. , From the tenor of his remarks it is clear that he was delighted and surprised at what he saw here. Speaking to a reporter he said: "I went there thinking I would meet no one I knew, but I was immediate ly taken in tow and for a week was practically the -ues;t of the city. The generosity of te people of Atlanta I will never forget. It is one of the most delightful cities that a New Yorker can visit.." The fair, he said, was truly wonder ful, and far beyond his expectations. He made a study of the dispensation of justice in thesoith, and said that while the administration was flexible, it struck him in every instance as bei fst, and there was not the slightest drimina tion made between the races. "This fair," continued the recorder, "will be a great boon to the negro race. The speech of the negro Washington at the opening exercises has made a great impression on the white population of the south. "Thenr? is no city In the Union regard ed with the same affection as New York by the people of Atlanta, and if New York only does herself justice on Man hattan day, Georgia w ' turn out en masse to give her a hearty and botmte ous welcome."

"However, I.do not say this In any dissatisfied spirit. I believe the people are fairly wel pleased with the present administration, and will testify to that fact at the polls. I believe that the days of rolitical bosses are numbered. Men aze employed now under the city gov ernment without paying for that privi lege by party work or money. The people like that idea, and it is growing, and will sweep away the bosses in time. "But I find the work of public office too heavy, and want no more of it.

After an Ineffectual Attenapt to Have the Hearing Postponed. Counsel For the De fense Withdrew-A Story of the Crime For Which Holmes Is Being Tried-HIS lany Offense. PHrrADELPHA, Oct. 29. - H. H. Holmes, who according to his own re markable confessions. stands at the head of the list of modern criminals, was put on trial in the court of oyer and termi ner for the murder of Benjamin F. Pietzel. Arraigned against him as the commonwet&h's prosecutors are District Attorney George S. Graham and his special assistant, Thomas W. Barlow. A sensation was created by counsel for the prisoner withdrawing from the case after they had made an ineffectual at tempt to secure a postponement. Holmes is conducting his own case. Judge Michael Arfiold is upon the. bench. So many aliases have been worn by the man on trial during the oourse of his spectacular career that his baptisilial name, Herman Mudgetts, has almost been lost sight of. Not so with his manifold exploits in half a dozen of the big cities of this country, which have been marveled at wherever men can read. Wild and weird as is the confessional sto of his life, in which he accuses himse of of fenses which would lon- since have given a less skilled crimina his quietus. Holmes has been careful to shift the main responsibility for the various mur der with which he admits having been connected, to other shoulders. Thus, during the 88 years of a life de voted almost entirely to law breaking, this is his first experience as a felon on trial for his life. The authorities have recognized that this is no common crin inal, but one who might be called a tech nical and most expert artist in crime. It is, therefore, their determination in the event of his conviction for a capital offense, to "railroad" him to the gal lows. More than a year having passed since the discovery of the crime for which Holmes is now on trial, and so mian conflicting tales having since been told, each outdoing the other - in weirdness and atrocity, 4 rehearsal of the facts of this chapter of the story is relevant. On Sept. 3, 1894, the corpse of a man was found in the second story of a ram shackle building at 1,516 Callowhill treet, in this city. The dead man had been known as B. F. Perry. The body was lying on the floor and by its side was a pipe partly filled with tobacco. The face was blackened and blistered as if from bums, and nearby lay a broken bottle, which ha oontain ed benzine. From a ces, an ex losion had occurred while the man was ting his pipe. Some small dro f blood on the floor were credited to slit wounds on his neck The police believ ed the afair *as an acoident, and, no ne for a moment entertaiied the theo ry of murder. Among the effects found in the room were several letters from Perry's wife in St. Louis, the signatures to which had been torn off. To the .neighbors Perry had been known imply as an inventor. The coroner's physicians held- an au topsy aiid, finding evidences of chloro form and conte lungs, the jury gave a verdict of death from inhaling the fumes of chloroform. About three weeks after this occur rence, Jeptha D. Howe, a St. Louis at torney, after correspondence with coro er Ashbridge, came to this city end asserted that the body of the supoe Perry was that of Benjamin F. ietzel of St. Louis. and that he, Howe, was ere to collect $10,000 insurance from the Fidelity Mutual Insurance company, for which amount a policy had been made out in favor of Mrs. Pietzel in Chicago a year before. Meanwhile, Holmes, who had introduced Peitzel to the insurance agents, when the latter was insured, was induced by them to come to Philadelphia and identify the body-. This he did, positively, and so didAlice Pietzel, the 16-year-old daugh ter of the dead man. With this une guivocal testimony the insurance com pany paid the money. Here the first stage of the extraordinary affair came to a close. The second opened some time after ward in a manner smacking strongly of the dime novel. Marion C.. Hedspeth, the notorious train robber, in jail in St. Louis, Mo., one day made a remark that Holmes, while in an adjonig cell, had conspired with Pietzel and Howe to swind~e a Philadelphia insurance com pany by substituting a body supposed to be that of Pietzel. Detectives took up this clue and worked for weeks but not a trace could be found of Pietzel, Mrs. Pietzel or the .children. Holmes, however, was arrested on Nov. 17, in Boston. He was made to write a decoy letter to Mrs. Pietzel, in-I ducing her to come to Boston, where she was arrested, and tgher they were brought to Philadlha The womnan was subsequently rlae, but has since been under the surveillance of the po lice. Holmes has been confined in Moy amensng prison dnd at intervals, from that time to the present, has made many and conflicting explanations of every affair with whiceh his name has been as sociated. By his own confession he has been implicated, directly or indirectly, in three deliberate murders, the disap pearance and possible murder of three children, bigamy, many conspiracies, (to one of which he has already pleaded guilty in court) and, in fact, almost every crime in the calendar. Holmes has proved himself to be a man of unlimited nerve, e~ of manner, eloquent of seech, refinedin appear ance, self conddent and ambitious. Onl enough people were admitted to well the courtroom without uncom fortably crowding it. Proniptly at 10 o'clock Holmes was brought into court and placed in the dock. Mr. Shoemaker asked for a contin uance of the case, but it was refused. Mfr. Rotan, .of the defense presented the plea for a respite, but it was over ruled by Judge Arnold and the trial pro ceeded.
