An ordinance was introduced into City Councils on April 1:, 1 SIMS, for the pur pose of effecting a loan of $200,000 to con struct sewers in the northeastern section of Reading, and it is proposed to make the bonds payable during the course ot twenty live years at the rate ol fauiHJ each year.

observe section 4 ot lie said or dinance that the bonds of shall be drawn by lot, eight of the denomination of $500 and four of the denomination of $1,000, which shall be paid by money Irom the sinking hind. submit that this is not wise. Jt is practically prohibiting the public from taking any of the bonds, because no per son would be disposed to take one or more ot them not knowing when they would be paid, whether in a year or in twenty five years. It is apparent, therefore, 1 hat there must be only a single holder, who can take the whole issue ad vantageously, tor he knows that at kast of them shall be redeemed nud he an select the numbers chosen and make his arrangements for an investment accordingly. The bidding on the bonds must there fore be limited, and this will necessarily depreciate their value.

Bonds payable one year have a certain value aiiove par, according to the credit of the com munity, and those payable in twenty years five have a much greater value. Say, for instance, a bond payable in one year was worth only par, but in twenty hve years was worth ten points aoove par. The average would he nve points, or at the rate of 105 per $100. But with no certainty as to any for more than one year no single individual would be inclined to invest in them unless he were to take all, and believing that bidders would be limited for the whole amount, he would bid accordingly. Sow we think that Councils nave made a mistake in this matter and they should correct it by making the bonds payable by numbers, according to priority, and give everybody at home, whether he has much or little capital lor investment, an opportunity to buy the bonds if he be nchned to do so, and this will increase their value.

Elsewhere the bonds are made payable in series at certain times specified therein, and towns of credit never issue 'lottery bonus," as the bonds here will be igiiominously called, if they should be issued as contemplated.

Mr. Lilly and bride had planned for a quiet wedding, and no invitations were issued They arrived in the morning from the home of the bride, and on reaching the station entered a carriage and were con veyed to the church. They expected to meet no one there but the officiating clergyman and were unprepared tor the surprise that awaited them when they entered the edifice. The auditorium was crowded with the members of the congregation and the chancel was prettily decorated with flowers and plants. I hey accepted the situation with grace, and the ceremony was performed by the pre siding elder.

Three minutes only remained for congratulations, and 'at 10.20 Kev. and Mrs. Lilly lelt on a trip to New York, Washington and Old Point Comfort, to be absent about two weeks. They will go to housekeeping in a few months. Miss Edna Brower, 107 South Seventh street, and Win.

Miss Althouse is at present in Pottstowu.

In Orphans Court. Judge Bland heard testimony in a number of estates. In the estate of Johnson L. Terry quite an interesting matter arose in the presentation of a claim by the Reading Trust company, guardian of Edwin W. Roberts, against the estate.

The claim is for money alleged to have been received by the decedent amounting to $309.9 1. The evidence tended to establish the fact that the minor is now nineteen years of age; that the decedent took him to raise when he was nn infant only four months old; that decedent 1 i 1 1 1. .1. 1L oonrueu ana niaimnmeu aim uiuuieu uie minor during the whole time; and that he was also schooled by the decedent, the said minor having attended school from the time he was sx years of age until he was nineteen years old, until the death of the decedent The claim was objected to on the ground that the decedent was under no obligation to maintain the minor. An opinion will be handed down.

HOLXES PATS THE PEXALTT. (Continued from F1nr Pag ing the white skin to soon to be bruised by the rope. Then the black cap wniau lusted. The lips of Holmes still moved in urayer. when the last sight of his living lace was had.

His head was inclined to the rlnht while the noose was fixed, the knot, as is the custom, being fixed Under the left car. Mr. Richardson pulled this tight aiid grimaced with the ellbrt, but the victim never shook, in tne mean time his hands Were manacled behind his back; "Don't be in hurry, Alcclc," wills: pered Holmes from beneath the cap to the assistant superintcnaeni. "Are vou ready?" the latter asked "Yes; don't bungle," were the final words Holmes ever uttered. The signal was given, the trap sud denly parted with a resounding crash, and the criminal plnnged straight down ward.

The tautened rope rebounded for a moment, and then the body swung slowly nrouna ana arounu line a top, gradually losing its momentum. There was no sign of a struggle about tho swinging burden of the rope. The legs were not drawn up, nor were the lingers clenched. His neck hud been broken. Muscular contraction caused slight tremors about the corpse, hanging there, the bend banging limply to the right, and the flesh growing purple under the knot, AI'I'K AH OK TUB WlllY.

Alter the body had been lowered from the scaffold mid placed upon the stretcher, and the stiffened knot was finally loosened and the noose removed the black cap was taken off. The face was but little distorted. It was slightly discolored and the eyes were halt open The lips were drawn back mid the teeth protruded. A bruise and an abrasion around the neck where the rope had tightened was visible above the coat col lar. KN'CAHEI) IN CEMENT.

After the body had been viewed by the physicians and the manner oi death determined, the stretcher was wheeled out of the corridor into the jnil yard. Here it was placed in nn ordinary cheap pine coffin. One noticeable thing about the collin was that it was wide enough and deep enough to have held two men of Holmes' size, the colnn was put uhoaru mi undertaker's wagon and coveyed to the Roman Catholic cemetery of the Holy Cross. The only persons at the cemetery were the undertaker and his assistants, two grave diggers, two watchmen and a couple of newspaper men. This little company acted as pall bearers, and carried the coffin to the receiving vault.

When the vault was reached the object of the extra size of the coffin was disclosed. Holmes' dread of an autopsy haunted him con stantly, and almost his last thought was to provide against such a thing being attempted. The last act in the receiving vault was performed nt Holmes express command. 1 he lid ot the collin was taken off and the body was lifted out and laid on the ground. Then the bot tom of the coffin wus filled with cement the body as then replaced in the coffin and completely covered with the cement.

It was Holmes' idea that the cement would harden around his body and pre vent any attempt at grave robbery. The coflin was left in the receiving vault under the guard ol two watchmen, who will remain on duty all night. To morrow afternoon the body will be in terred in a grave in the cemetery, and it is probable that at that time religious services will be conducted by Futher Dailey. NO WILL AXD NO (XlNKKSKION. Holmes made no will and left no confession.

This is according to Mr. Rotaii. He says he knows Holmes made no will and while the murderer gave him, this morning, a bundle of papers, his lawyer says he is confident that these papers re late only to private business matters. As yet, Mr. Rotau said, he had had no op portunity to examine them.

Mrs. Pitezel was seen after Holmes was hanged. About all she could say between sobs was that she was glad that he had received his just deserts, but that his death would not return to her Her husband and children. Mrs. Pitezel will re turn to her home in Galva.

111., next week. A CONFESSION MAY HE FOUND. Despite Mr. Kotan's belief to the con trary, it is possible that when he examines the papers left by Holmes he may find a confession among them. This is the belief of George B.

Chamberlain, of Chicago. Mr. Chamberlain is a lawyer and gen eral manager ot a mercantile agency in Chicago, and is here representing certain creditors of Holmes and the chief of po lice of Chicago. Mr. Chamberlain says that he has proof that Holmes killed at least nine people, and he thinks it likely that Holmes has left some confession of these murders.

At an interview with Mr. Chamber lain, yesterday, Holmes promised to fur nish him with some material to lurther him in his efforts to recover some of the money due his clients. Mr. Chamber lain says that the mortgages upon the "Castle," in Chicago, nre forged, and that when they nre brought into court they will be thrown out and this prop erty, worth $30,000, will revert to some of Holmes' dupes. HOLMES HAD ACCOMPLICES.

The last chapter in the famous Holmes case may not have licen written to day. Holmes had accomplices both in his criminal operations and his murders, and the police of Chicago are now gathering up threads which will bring these accomplices to justice. This is one'of the ob jects of Mr. Chamberlain's visit here, and he had a consultation with Air. Jtotan to night in relation to the papers left by Holmes.

Mr. Rotan had not yet time to examine them, and he has promised to send copies ol these papers to Mr. Chamberlain. A BID KOIt THE BODY. Some one, probably representing some medical institution, to day ottered Mr.

Kotan $5,000 for Holmes' body, but the oiler was promptly refused. How Many lld Holuiea Kill? On the gallows he denied having taken the lives of any one except two women, and asserted that even in these cases death was the result of a criminal opera tion. KIVE MURDEKS SHOWN MY EVIDENCE.
