ROBERT l.. GRAHAM.
Something About the Character of the
Young Kentuckian Who Committed
Suicide Here Last Week.

The Louisville Commercial of yesterday con-
| tanned the following special telegram from
EliSabethtown, KY, concerning Robert L. Ora
| ham, the young m an who committed suicide in
| this city last week. II the Commercials CORE
| spondent states the facts, Graham was an mild
hammered gentleman as ever cut throat:
Bob Graham, tho young man who commit ted
suicide at indianapolis day or two ago, had
perhaps enjoyed "a more eventful life and a
greater reputation for desperation than any
| young man of his age living in this State. His
| parents, being wealthy, gave to him every ad-
vantage for a useful career. He was a bright
bg-hearted boy. He was impulsive and forgiy-
ting He injured no one through cruelty or for
revenge. Since he was fourteen years of age
| until his death, being then about twenty
years old, his life was one series OF difculties
fourteen years OF age he shot at and made
| hesh wound on a oolOred hoy. About two yAara
ago he shot and killed Henry Morris, "a colored
man, at this place. The GOODNESS exhibited by
him on this occasion has rarely been exceeded
The crack of his pistol ana the flash of Morris's
knife were simultaneous. Retreating slowly
backward, being closely pursued by Norris, cat
ting at him Mt every step, Graham deliberately
fired three times, each shot taking effect Blind
ed by blood, ana bleeding from three wounds,
Graham stepped into n store, emptied the OK.
ploded cartridges from his pistol, and called for
more cartridges. At this time Morris lay dead
at the door, with probably some OF Grabam's
blood upon MN, go close had they been In the
night. Graham was acquitted by Jury of the
charge or having committed any crime In this
killing.
Graham was accidentally shot by o comrade
not long after this. The wounds from the Knife
and the bullet seemingly gave him no pain, for
ne never manifested the slightest symptoms OF
suffering. Last summer he cut and severed ~
facial artery for James Collins, of LouisVille XIV
The timely arrival of a doctor prevented Col.
Inns frem bleeding to DEATH He cut man
badly IN Bowling Green about three months
ago. He came very near shooting an attorney
here about six months ago. He would cut and
shoot man under excitement, and take him to
his arms immediately after having injured him
There was no Intentional harm in him, yet but
few men have had his experience in despe rate
encounters and escapes from a violent death
aud punishment at the hands OF the law"
Coroner Maxwell will return verdict that
Graham committed suicide by taking morphine,
He still has the Hervey case under considera-
tion, and yesterday began an oiica investiea-
ton into the causes Of the death of Isaac Baker,
who was killed Sunday afternoon.

Tho old adace that there is many a slip be-

sneh arrangement, when the B. IL o. people,
Sunday, notified the l., b. e. w. management
that they were not satisfied with the mileage
basis agreed upon, and that the arrangemenI
might he considered off at least for the present.
1t is intimated that there were other reasons
for the unexpected change of mind on tina part
of the B. & O.. people. 1t can hardly he, how
ever, that the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & st. Louis

Car-inspectoF Wagner, Of the Erie fast-freight
lines, has devised an outside car door which,
while very simple in device, will likely come
into general use. The door is so constructed
and 40 hung that when closed it ia on a direct
line with the side of the car. no sparks or water
can work into the interior of the car, and in
shutting and opening the door 1t Is so hung that
the party haDdlih g it can secure lever purchase,
which presses the door In or throws IL out better
and much easier than IL could be done, even
with a orowbar. and the door In working order
costs no more than ordinary door. Mr..
Wagner has applied for patent, and already The
Erie people have made arrangements TO equip
1000 of their with these doors. Railroad

thing yet IN the way of a car door
