DIR. GRAVES REFRESHED.
CONTINUED from Page ~

Witness recognized the letters "H. Il. &,
Co." blown in the fateful bottle as the
trademark of Henry Thayer a. Company,
Boston, proprietary medicines, but
had never used one like il. Graves
denied that he had sent an
anonymous letter To Conrad on Dec.
4th, last. Graves was i'm Boston three
times week in March and April to buy
stocks for Mrs. Barnaby. He couldn't
account for the three days delay in mail
ing the letter Of March 9th. He never
knew anything about the crime.
When asked why he wired here that he
wanted TO come before the grand jury 10
throw some light on the crime, he said he
wanted TO tell what he had done at Mrs.
Barnaby's house when he met Conrad
and Hanscom; he said IL was prob
able that on the funeral train he
told William Clarke that he knew
Many things about Mrs Barnaby as re-
CARDS which for the sake of the family he
was going to keep silent. He didn't say il
was impossible Mrs. Barnaby could have
been killed with Fowler's solution. 1t
was true that Conrad had offered him
support if he would come to Den
yer 10 go before the Grand Jury and
it was possible, he said, he would consult
his wife. In fact. he did that night, start
ing West the next night. IL was true
that on Thursday night he talked with
Hanscom and Conrad about the good
whiskey he had sent and the poison some
one had substituted. This was in the
papers, and Conrad inspired the publica
tion.
The defense asked permission to recall
Horten Smith of the stable where the
Worrells kept their team, to show that
four people at the stable drank
from the bottle before sending
il TO the Worr ell residence. The State
said the defence had trumped up this new
theory, all others advanced by the defence
having gone TO pieces. Judge Furmar
said this was not so the matter is still
under argument.

THE FINANCIAL NEWS.

The ease in money does not as yet af-
feet the actual rate In the market. Six
per cent is the ruling rate.
The stock market IN still suffering from
the prevailing distemper, and Is to-day
without sales.
There is again a close correspondence
between the asked and bid price OF Amer
ican and Atlantic National Banks. On
the other hand the rest of the bank stocks
are very closely held, and the prices asked
in many cases are far beyond the bid
price
There is a declining tendency in in
surance stocks though there Is no dis-
nosition 10 sell save In small lots. The
talk of raising rates has been the cause OF
the decline partly, but the raising OF the
rates should enhance the value of the
stocks.
The regular dividend on the majority OF
the quarterly dividends paying stocks has
been declared and are indicated in the
stock list below.

vania-Three Lives Lost.
ALTOONA, Pa, June 12.-While coming
down the Allegheny mountain from
Lloydsville to Bellwood on the Pennsylva-
mia and Northwestern railroad, about mid
night last night, heavy coal train got be-
yond the control of the trainmen and,
dashing down perilous grade, the heaviest
in America east of the Rocky mountains,
at fearful rate of speed, was piled up and
smashed into kindling wood at a curve
which is on the side of deep ravine about
three miles north of Bellwood. AS it came
laundering down the mountain, with every
man at his post and doing his utmost to
check its mad flight, the whistle screamed
out its shrill alarm, and when the crash
came, it wss not long before willing hands
and feet were hurrying to the scene.
The engine and twenty-five cars which
had been loaded with coal lay piled up in
mass of broken wood and twisted iron
at the bottom of the ravine, and among
the debris were the bodies of the oenduc-
tor, engineer and one brakeman with al
most all semblance to humanity crushed
out of them. The other train hands es-
capped with their lives, but all were more
or less injured. The track is torn up and
blockaded for long distance, and passen-
gers are being transferred by way of this
city and Cresson.
The accident is supposed to have been
caused by wet rails and the air brakes re-
fusing to work properly. 1t has been i'm
possible to learn the names of all the
killed and injured men. The Pennsylva-
MIA and the Northwestern connects with
tho main line of the Pennsylvania railroad
at Bellwood, six miles east of this city.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

W HHA Il hEN1E" OF ItE ADhs
Prices LoweriWfth Prospects of Fur
ther Declines-Strength In the Money
Markets.
NEW YoRK, June 12.-R. G. Dun & Go. q
weekly review of trade says: There is
nothing rose-colored as respects the chances
of spectators and gamblers. Those who
consider gambling the end of business
and no other may well be disheartened.
Prices are lower, with prospects of further
decline. The exposures and losses of those
who have emptied their own funds and
the funds of others into Wall street are
not rose-colored. But the legitimate bust
ness of the country, though not as large as
was a year ago when crops had not failed
and trade was far greater than ever before
at this season, is, nevertheless, large, well
maintained and generally healthy.
Very rarely has such strain been put
upon productive industry and legitimate
business as by the. enormous exports of
gold in May. It is most significant fact
that after this severe test the state of trade
is better for the season and more hopeful
than it was in April, when the great move
ment of gold had not begun.
Pittsburg reports no change in iron s1-
cept that Bessemer steel is stronger. At
other centers 1t remains unchanged.
Wool sales are also larger here at Boston
and Philadelphia, with the moderate con-
cessions by holders, and the manufacturers
show greater confidence by their buying.
In all parts of the country the money
markets show surprising strenth, and while
closeness is reported at Detroit, Cleveland,
st. Louis, Nashville and Sa-
fc fyo,,, wi oil oif,ao syIs
cate that nobody is suffering except specu-
lators. In brief, the situation is not good
for gamblers, but for producers and legit-
innate traders is decidedly hopeful.

WEST POINT, N. Y, June 12.-Among
the trees on the lawn in front of the libra
ry this morning two thousand people were
gathered under huge canopy. There was
big platform decorated with flags for the
board of visitors and of visitors and Off
GERS of the post, and long rows of benches
and chairs in front of it for the cadets and
the people. The rattle of drum in front
of the barracks brought out the impa-
tent cadets with a rush, and a
moment later they were marching
across the lawn to the music of Yankee
Doodle. They took the seats reserved for
them in front of the platform, on which
sat the superintendent and the secretary
of war, with the board of visitors and a
long line of professors on either side.
Colonel Wilson, the superintendent, was
the presiding officer. After the band had

rows of the board of visitors was intro
duced and made q magnificent speech.
The secretary of war was the next
speaker. He said they all missed to-day
a familiar face, one who was in
the latter years of his life always
present on these occasions. It rarely
falls to the lot of, any man to FL
30 large place in the minds and hea-ts OF
his country as did General Sherman. The
secretary quoted some of Sherman's mem
orable words of patriotism, notably thost
in his letter resigning the position of super
intendent of the Louisiana military acade

the old government of the United State
