New Judge Likely To Try DIR. Graves.
Sensational Developments Promised.
DENVER, Dec. s-.Tudge Risings court
was crowded with an assemblagc eager to
hear District Attorney Stevens opening
address in the Graves case, which was
scheduled to he delivered yesterday, and
which promised to be sensational Their
looks were changed to those of disappoint-
ment when Judge Marsh entered and an.
hounced that Judge Rising was still too
i'll to hold court and an adjournment was
necessary. The jury is becoming weary Of
the delay and the lawyers are out of
humor, and another judge will probably
be agreed on, who will take the case to-
morrow.
Several new witnesses arrived here from
the east yesterday, who will testify in be-
half of DR. Graves. They are from the
DOCTOR old home and claim to have evil
dence which will clear him without the
slightest doubt The prosecution laugh
at these statements, and in reply say:
wait until you hear our testimony"
The defense will attempt TO prove that the
fatal poison was put in the whisky after
its arrival here, by whom they will not
say. II the past lives Of some Of the per-
sons interested on both sides of the case
are aired in court, il will without question
be one of the most sensational trials ever
known in America.

New Nork's Law Again Tested by the
Execution of Murderer Loppy.

SING SING, y. y. Dec Sloppy, the
New York wife murderer. was executed
In Sing Sing prison yesterday afternoon.
Loppy died easily and went 20 the chair
bravely, giving everyone the impression
that he did not care whether he lived or
not. There were three contacts, the
signals being manipulated by Keeper
Landy. Prison Chaplain Edgerton was
the first man 10 emerge from the prison
after the execution. He looked very pale
ynd was much agitated. In answer to
questions con cerning the execution he de-
clined to give any details, but said il was
similar in every respect 10 the four wit
messed by him in July There was no
suffering and no scene.
The two friends of the warden from
Newburg, DrS. Kingston and Ely, fol-
lowed Chapl in Edgerton out Of the
prison The. declined to be interviewed,
and hurried to the depot in Warden
Browns carriage A few minutes later,
four convicts in charge of keeper filed
out of the north end Of the prison and
climbed up the hill to the graveyard, where
Jugiro, Wood and Slocum were buried.
They carried picks and shovels and there
they dug Loppy,s grave.
-Four hours later the same convicts re-
moved the body of Loppy from the autopsy
table and placed il in "a rough wooden box,
half filled with quicklime. Then they
filled il with the same material, nailed on
the top and hauled il TO the lonely trench
Oh the hill where they buried IL. No
friend nor relative has ever inquired for
Loppy since his incarceration

GRAIN TRAFFIC BLOCKED.
Grain Elevators Choked for Lack OF
Cars for Making shipments.


Cars for Making shipments.
CHICAGO, Dee g. 49, The Pennsylvania
and the Chicago and Grand Trunk rail-
roads have notified their western connec-
tions that they can no longer re-
ceive shipments of grain to be consigned at
Chicago for eastern points. These were
the last of IL" roads out Of Chicago to give
such notice, and the movement Of grain
through Chicago is checked, as none Of the
western lines will allow any more of their
cars To be taken east. The result is That
80 Burlington elevators in Nebraska arc
filled with grain awaiting shipment, and
the farmers are clamoring in vain for cars.
At st. Louis the situation is the same as
ut Chicago, the eastern roads having
stopped through shipments by transfer.
Relief l. Looked for only when the lake
and rtl shipments of grain are all out OF
the Why. ahG that will probably not be for
five wyc&s {" come. Over 1900, 600 bushels
of grain c"y'icd by the lake lines are in
BuiHln .-NatOrs or still afoat, and until
this accuaulation has been transported to
the scah)lrl, the eastern trunk lines can
not release their cars for the traffic from
the west. Ii is expected this relief will
come about the middle Of January.

SCHEMiNG COUNT D'EU
Is Not Thought Much of in Brazii-Ine
New Government Recognized.


RIO jANEiIo, Dec s-A dispatch fr ON
Paris stating that Count d Eu maintains
the right OF his wife, the Princess Isabella,
to the throne Of Brazil has aroused much
OF the old animosity against the count.
The papers comment kindly OH Dom
Pedro's career, but without any expression
of regret for the overthrow of the empire.
One result of Dom Pedros death has been
to soften the feeling against Fonseca. The
opinion is universally expressed by Repub-
Leans that Fonseca struck blow at
monarchy at the right time To save Brazil
from the Count d'Eu II is the general
opinion that Dom Pedro would not have
lived much longer even had he remained
in Brazil, and that Count d d'Eu would not
have heen got rid of without a sanguinary
struggle. As II is, no apprehension is felt
that the count can accomplish mischief.
There is strong sentiment, even among
Republicans, in favor of permitting Dom
Pedro's remains TO be transferred 10 Brazil
for all are deeply touched by the evidence
OF affection for Brazil which he gave on
his death bed
As for his descendant. they are looked
upon a. aliens, and none of the regard felt
for the eN-cmprrur appear 10 be trans
ferred To them. lciNotto will, beyond
doubt, bc n candidate for the presidency

Fonseca. While disturbed condition still
