Indians Vyiping Out the Deer.

DENVER, COL, Nov. A-From letter re-
ceived here from the game warden at
Meeker, Col, il is evident that the reports
of killing of deer by Indians instead of be-
ing exaggerated are even short of hetruth.
He reports that all over the Blue mountain
country, the Lyly Park and Snake river
country and from Coonspring divide, clear
to Yellow creek, the hills are
full of skinned but uncut bodies of
deer. A dozen different camps of Indians
of both the Uintah. and Uncompahgre. and
Utes have been there. and they have simply
shot down every head of game they could
find. Warden Taylor says that n
very conservative estimate of the
number killed would be from four to ak
thousand head. At the present rate of kill
ing there will not be deer left in the Ma
tional Park within three years from now.

BRAZIL, Ind. Nov. 24-National Presi-
dent Rea. National Executive Officer Nu-
gent. State President Cummesky and State
Secretary Kennedy arrived in Brazil this
morning and held an important conference,
just what business was transacted could
not be learned. Mr. Rea said this morn
ing that he found things In much better
condition than he expected. He said the
meetings just held in the State were en-
thusiastio and harmonious. When Ques-
toned as to his opinion of what would re-
suit from the bituminous operators refus-
ing to meet the miners Mr.. Rea
said he thought they would re-
consider the matter, as it was
to their interest to be present. If
they were not present the meeting wouid
be q one-sided affair, and the strike would
doubtless be prolonged. The officers and q
committee of miners. with the block coal
operators, held conference this evening.
lasting several hours. No settlement was
reached. The contract with the operators,
which the miners considered invalid, be-
cause the operators had not signed it, was
discussed. and President Rea concurred
with the operators in declaring the con-
tract q legitimate one, as it was signed by
the chairman and secretary and commit
tee of five miners at mass-meetlng held in
this city last May. AS yet no evidence of a
settlement Is apparent.

SUGGESTION FROM MIR. BLAINE.

Thinks the Present National Committee
Should Act Until After the Election.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-At IL o'clock this
morning the members of the national Re-
President Harrison at the White House,
after which they walked to the State De-
partment and called upon the Secretary of
State. MIR. Blaine seemed to take the deep
est interest in the proceedings of the COM
mittee. and in the course of his converse
tion made very valuable suggestion as
to that body. He was reminded that this
committee would have nothing to do with
the conduct of the next campaign. THAT
is a great pity" said the Secretary, and
then went on to give reasons why it would
be an excellent policy to change the
present method and hereafter let
every national committee. instead
of expiring by limitation when the new
candidates were nominated, continue to
act until after the election. Having
worked together for four years the men,
bers OF the committee are all acquainted
with each other ana all have thorough
knowledge, gathered at the frequent meet
ings of the committee. of the needs and re-
sources of the party throughout the cOIn-
try. and know much of the details. which
IS naturally lacking with o new COmr .ttee
only brought together for the first time
after the nominating convention.
Mr.. .BlainessuggestiOns seemed to strike the
committeeman very favorably. and 1t is not
improbable that the proposition Will be
made at the next convention to make the
change accordingly. The members of the
new committee might he elected as they
are now, by the various State delegatio ms
during the convention, but the new COM
mittee would not be organized until after

father and the remaining child were re-
ported dying yesterday. In each case the
symptoms have been exactly the same. A

severe pains in the stomach, were the first
Indications Then the patient grew rapidly
worse, and in a day or two death would
ensue. In each case the regular physician
gave typhoid fever as the cause of death.
Each child that died had been insured. and
the money was paid by the Insurance COM
pany Immediately after death. The amount
OF insurance of each ranged from $500 to
$500. The peighbors began to talk. and
finally the attending physician called in a
we'll known doctor, ID. G. Smith. DIR. smith
made diagnosis and concluded that the
cause of the illness of the father was
arsenical poisoning. The coroner will be
asked to have the remains of the Austin
children exhumed and an analysis of the
stomachs made. DR.. Smith is firmly con-
vinced that arsenic has been used in every
case. The mother is alive and we'll. The
insurance policies were all made out in her
name. She refuses to talk.

Osborn being ascertained there will GER
tainly be fifteen Democratic Senators. and
if the State board of canvassers decide. in
accordance with the Attorney generals
opinion, that Sherwood. OF the Twenty

Democratic opponent the next Senate will
stand: Democrats 10; Republicans. Is; Inde-
pendent Edwardsl. /. Even though Ed
wards should vote with the Republicans
the Democrats would still have control. as
Lieutenant-governor Sheehan wonld give
the casting vote. The seating of Sherwood
would give the Republicans sixteen and the
Democrats fifteen, with Edwards as an un-
known quantity.
In the Assembly the seating of Ryan and
Beakes gave the Democrats sixty-six MEN,
bers and the Republicans siXty-two. The
death of Assemblyman Murphy will reduce
the Democratic vote In the Assembly to
sixty-iive. Which will still give them ma
iorlty of three and secure the organization.

MRS. BARNABY'S MURDER.
DR.. Graves Must Stand Trial at Once for the
Crime-How the Woman Died.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 24-The second divis-
ion of the District Court was packed to
sutfocation this morning when Judge
Rising took his seat upon the bench to
render his decision on the motion of DR.
Thatcher Graves for continuance of
ninety days in the case wherein he is
charged with poisoning Mrs. Josephine
Barnaby, of Providence. The court in
rendering his decision, reviewed the motion
of the defense in detail, and. in conclusion,
said: II must come to the conclusion that.
upon the question of law and upon the
question of fact the grounds of the motion
are not well taken, and the motion must be
denied"
At these words DR.. Graves trembled,
turned pale and looked appealingly at his
attorneys. but, receiving no hope from
them, he. with o sigh of resignation. &C.
cepted the fact that the trial for his life
must go on. His attorney, Judge Furman,
Immediately took an exception to the de-
cison, and the court then announced that
the work of selecting jury would begin
tomorrow morning.
The crime for which DR.. Graves is now
on trial took place in this city last April.
but the history leading up TO it dates back
Tor number of years. Mrs. Barnaby was
the wife of j. III. Barnaby. wealthy mer-
chant of Providence who secured a divorce
from his wife. leaving her with fortune
of $4,000 and an annual income of g. 500.
DR.. Graves was her intimate friend and
financial advisor on salary OF S5,COO
year. Mrs. Barnaby was q great
traveller, and she spent portion of each
summer at the residence of Edward Ben
nett. at Blue Mountain lake. New York.
Last spring, while there, shc and DR..
Graves had o misunderstanding. Mrs.
Barnaby Immediately started West, and
eventually arrived In this city, where she
visited the Worrells. On April 8, six days
her address which contained a bottle of
liquid labeled Fine old whisky: from
your friend III the woods" On the night
of the 18th, after a drive, she and Mrs.
Worrell drank the contents of the bottle.
and both were immediately taken i'll. and
agony. died: Mrs. Worrell recovered
at the end of a few days i'll
ness. Physicians declared that the woman
suffered from arsenIcal poisoning and
the detectives were set to work. The
Worrells were beneficiaries in Mrs. Barna-
Graves for $4,000. SuspIcIon was cast up
on the Worrells. but no action was ever
taken. The writing upon the package re-
sembled that of Dr. Graves. and he was in
dicted for murder and released on $4,000
bonds
DR.. Graves has many friends here who
protest his innocence. They say he could
have no object in desiring Mrs. Barnaby' s
death, as he was receiving good salary
and if he wanted her fortune he could have
taken it, as he had absolute control of It.
His enemies declare he had other reasons
for wishing the woman out of the way.
This question. however, will be decided
within the next two or three weeks.
