A VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
Reckless Boys Place Giant Powder
on a Railroad Track.

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 5.-Several trains
on the Southern Pacific Railroad had
narrow escapes yesterday from being
blown up. Several boys who were prowl-
ing about the bluff west of the track, dis
covered forgotten magazine, containing
5000 pounds of giant powder cartridges
tnat had been used for mining and blast
ing purposes three years ago.
The boys wishing TO test them placed
several OF the cartridges on the track. For
tunately they were very damp and the
trains in passing only cut them in two.
Had they been dry the trains and passen-
gers would have been blown TO atoms.
The boys took many of the cartridges TO
various parts of the town and hid them,
nobody knows where. The existence of
the cartridges was only discovered when
gentleman met one of the boys
i'm the street carrying number of
them. Fears are expressed that damage
may yet be done by the distribution Of the
cart ridges

ASK FOR MORE SURITY.
Hearing Before Judge Douglas on
the Kiton Will Case,

Another chapter in the Kilton will case
was heard by Judge Douglas in the Su-
preme Court to-day. The parties in
the suit are Charles Matterson
trustee, appellant against Caleb G.. Bates,
administrator of the will of Jane Kilton
and John j. Kilton, appellant, against
Caleb G. Bates. The two suits were heard
together.
The hearing to-day was on a motion by
the administration that the appellants be
required 10 give additional surety TO pro-
tect the estate against further prosecution
of their appeal in the probate of the will
which was allowed by the Probate Court
Of Coventry in April, 1880.
The court intimated that an additional
security to the amount Of $3.50 be re-
quired of the appellants on or before the
10Th of the present month, but would hold
il for advisement until Monday, as
whether an additional bond with
surety would be given or whether
the ordinary security for costs
by endorsement would be sufficient.
Dexter B. Potter and John II. Blodgett
appeared for the administrators and lega-
tees, Cook and Angel and Van Slyck and
Van Slyck for the appellant. The case is
down for jury trial in Kent county on the
last week of this month.

THE GRAVES TRIAL.
DIR. Graves Has Not Outlined His
Defence and VIII Not.

DENVER, Dec. 5.-The assertions made
yesterday that DIR. Graves had made a
statement in which he outlined his de-
fence, and that some of the members of
the Barnaby family would be subpenae d
TO support his assertisns, which he would
make under oath, are denied. Judge
Macon was asked what truth there is in
all this. Ii is reply was
"Dr. Graves had not made, and will not
make n statement of his defence because
he has none to make. The government
will endeavor TO convict him under the in
dictment, and it will be our business TO sit
in court and see that he is not found
guilty"
II is understood that Dr. Graves repudi-
ates the interviews had with him in Prov
idence, and published by the Boston and
Providence correspondents last spring,
and denounces them as "abominable lies. y
lnasmuch as il was from his own lips that
the eastern press learned who the Wor-
rells and Bennetts were, and how
to reach them, and Mrs. Barnaby's
penchant for making wills. together w ith
other information pertaining to the case,
the interviews bear stamp of authen-
ticity which the doctor will find difficult
To explain away.
Judge Furman says that his opening
speech will be u little disappointing to the
public. He will reserve his best orator
ical efforts for the closing, combining his
first speech to an argument tnat would
tie up the jury to the idea that there are
two sides to everything.
81 don't propose to exhaust our side at
the very opening of the case. The gov
ernment can do as il pleases."

MISS EAMEs IN TRAINING.
For Three Years the Singer Was a Perfect
Slave to Her Teacher.

For Three Years the Singer Was a Perfect
Slave to Her Teacher.
Lewiston Journal.l
When Miss Eames sang in Boston prior to
her departure for the French capital, her
voice was resonant and strong, but not par
ticularly musical. When she went to Nine.
Marchesi, the distinguished teacher told
Miss Eames that she could only bring out
the real power and beauty of her voice by
months and probably years of incessant
and unremitting labor. She laid down
rules for Miss Eames which at first rather
startled the singer. She was told that she
must go to bed at 8 o'clock every night for
two years. During that period she must
never venture out after in the afternoon.
A dietary scheme was laid out with the ut
most care, and Nine. Marchesi declared if
Miss Eames would live up to the rules laid
down she would unquestionably be great
singer, but she could not promise her any
indulgences in the programme.
For three years the girl devoted herself
absolutely to Nine. Marchesi's direction.
She was as much slave as any woman who
ever lived. At the end of three years she
found herself, with the exception of Nine.
Patti, incontestably the foremost prima
donna of Europe. So much for pluck
