TO MAKE FIFTH AVENUE 4 GRAND
DRIVE
Plans to Exclude Business Vehicles and for
Laying . " OGDEN Pavement.

When the first determined effort was made
In 1885 to build II railroad In Fifth avenue an
association Of wealthy property owners and
residents was formed primarily to oppose the
construction and oper ton OF any railroad In
the avenue. It was impossible for the rail-
road people to obtain the consent Of the ma
jority OF the property owners on their proposed
route. and the scheme was efiectually blocked
at the time The association has kept up it's
organization ever since. and is jealousy
watching to prevent any further encroach-
ment upon the avenue. Formed originally
solely for the purpose OF fighting
this railroad scheme. the association has
recently enlarged its field. Its members are
ambitious to mako Fifth avenue the pride Of
the metropolis as athoroughfare. and through
their Executive Committee are making efforts
to rally all public.spirited citizens to the sup
port Of the plans which they would like to see
carried out. The committee consists OF Charles

Nearly Three Hundred People Supposed to De
Drowned in Wreck on the Pacific.

MANZANILLo. Mex. Nov. 29.-The Ameri-
can steamer Roseville has arrived hers,
and reports passing wreck, that of
the brig Tahiti. She was floating bottom
up, and the captain of the Rose, lille thinks
she must have been capsized. The rigging
had been out away on the port side, aD-
parently to prevent this. The Tahiti
created sensation Sept. 80 last by putting
into brakes bay. near San Francisco. in
distress. She had 270 Gilbert islanders on
board under contract TO work in Mexico at
starvation wages. These men were practic-
ally slaves. and there was much talk of
seizing the vessel. Collector Phelps, how
ever. decided he had no right to detain her,
and the brig left. Ii seems almost certain
that all on board have been lost, as the
ships boats were still with her, and moth
ing has been heard of any of the survivors
The wreck must have happened at least a
month ago. Beside the islanders, the vessel
had on board officers and a crew of twenty
men. making a total of 291 souls on the ill
fated craft.

Losing what little money he had, he re-

CAREER OF A P0fS0NER.
Story That duplicates Dr. Graves, Who Is
Already on Trial for His Life.
Special to the Indianapolis journal

Special TO the Indianapolis journal
DENVER, Nov. 29.-The prosecution in
the Graves case will not only endeavor TO
show that DIR. L. Thatcher Graves is guilty
of the death of Mrs. Josephine A. Barnaby.
but also that his career as poisoner dated
back as far as 1878, when he was a resident
of the little town of Danielsonville Mass.
The medicine which he is charged with
having furnished to do the deadly work
on that occasion is now in the hands of
the prosecution. and will be submitted TO
Professor Sewell. OF this city, for chemical
analysis. 1t Will be in pursuance of their
plan to show up the alleged bad character
of DR.. Graves, and the State will endeavor TO
convict him of attempted crime at that time
and in that place. lt wasin DanelsOnvIlle
that an illegitimate child, now known as
Charles Vernon Brown, was born III 1876.
DIR. Graves Is alleged. and the State will
endeavOr 10 show that he was the father Of
this child, and that on the occasion of its
birth he attended the mother and pre-
scribed the medicine now IN their posses
sion with the express purpose OF putting
the offspring out of the way.
The boy IN question is now thirteen years
of age, and through all of these long years

the mother with the hope that at
some time the opportunity might arise
for using it in prosecuting the
man who is charged with having done her
such great wrong. 1t was Professor Sewell
who analy zed the contents Of the bottle out
of which Mrs. Barnaby took the draught
that caused her death. The witnesses who
have been expected to arrive from the East
got into Denver this morning. Among
them was Col. l.. II. Rlckard. of
Danielsonville. Mass. For many years
he was the legal adviser of
DR.. Graves, and for fourteen years was one
of the nearest neigh bors of the accused. 1t
was Mr.. RickaTd. as one OF the associate
counsel for the State. who traced down the
hiding place of this little bottle which. it
is stated. will play such en important
to impeach the character of the
prisoner at the bar. Other witnesses who
arrived this morning We're John }; De-
venish, the stamp clerk of the Providence
p0stoffice. who sold DR.. Graves stamps:
Charles Vernon Brown, the child before
referred to: Mrs. Barker, the grand
mother of Charles Brown.
For the first time il was made public to-
day that Col Dan r. Ballou. the Provi-
dence lawyer. will take the stand in behalf
of the defendant. He is the constant CON-
panion of DIR. Graves and his entire duties
in the case seem to be to keep personal
vigilance over the accused, who has of
late developed no small degree of pertur-
baton.
