GRAND DUKE sERGIUs' DISGRACE
The Pope Is Said to Sustain the Rebel
Archbishop of AK.
This May Result In Separation of Church
and State in France-Decay of Ger
man Sociaiism-The Russian Govern
ment Suppressing Catholicism.

BERLIN, Dec. 26.-rAssociated Press,
Copyright, 1891. IA report of startling
nature IS IN circulation and obtains Gre
dence in diplomatic circles 1t is to the
effect that Count Won Schouvalof Rus
sian ambassador to Germany, is to be
transferred to Moscow as the successor TO
Grand Duke Sergius, brother of the czar,
as encouragement. The car has given
Grand Duke Sergius peremptory leave of
absence for year, and it is looked upon as
certain that the grand duke will not return
to his post at the expiration of his term.
1t is more likely that he will be sent out of
Russia, or be placed under surveillance at
some post in Central Asia. The grand
duke, it is alleged, has been tampering
with the allegiance of the officers high in
command at Moscow, Warsaw, Wilma and
other military centers. The count has
been ordered to proceed to Gatschina to
confer with the czar.
LONDON, Dec. 26.-Contradictory stories
have been received hero regarding Grand
Duke Sergius, brother of the czar. who last
spring was appointed governor of Moscow.
At the beginning of the present month it
was said the grand duke was making him.
self very unpopular by his efforts to sup
press the fraudulent practices growing out
OF the corruption fer which the Russian
official world is notorious The fact that
he has interfered with the stealing of the
famine money caused him to be very un-
popular with certain of the wealthy and
influential class, who are doing their ut
most to secure his removal from office.
Advices received today state that the
czar suspects his brother of nursing am
bilious designs, though the nature of the
designs in country where all social and
political honors emanate from the czar is
not stated. 1t is added that the czar has
been so impressed by the array of evidence
presented to him against the grand duke
that 1t is his intention to send him into
exile. The wife of the grand duke is a
daughter of Grand Duke Louis of Hesse,
and granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
She recently abandoned her religious
faith in which she was trained, and in
April last formally joined the Greek
church.
1t is charged in some quarters that the
conversion of the grand duchess was not
the result of a free change in her religious
belief, but due to moral suasion of a very
brutal kind. This statement was semi
officially denied at the time, but the fact
remains that she at one time was so dis
gusted with her husband that she was
with difficulty restrained from leaving
him. 1t is said the car interposed his
good offices to prevent the scandal that
wOuld have followed n separatiou

Big Suit Decided Against Gould's Road.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 26.-In the district
court at Lancaster today Judge Tibbetts
awarded John Fitzgerald $475, 900 in suit
against the Fitzgerald d Mallory Con-
struction Company and the Missouri
Pacific Railway Company. The case is
complicated one and dates back some
time in 1887, when the Fitzgerald 81
Mallory Construction Company, of which
the plaintiff is the head, took the con-
tract to build line of railroad from
Chetopa. Kan, to the Colorado line,
about $50 miles, known at that time as
the Denver, Memphis & Atlantic
railroad. The contract price was $4,000
per mile. TO be paid in first mortgage
bonds. During the construction of the
line, it was purchased by the Missouri Pa
cific, and Jay Gould Russell Sage, George
Gould and Sidney Dillon asked, it is said,
to be allowed the Fitzgerald partnership.
They succeeded, and when the road was
completed it is asserted they secured the
money themselves for its construction,
leaving Fitzgerald out. Fitzgerald sued
for 81, 10000, and the case has dragged
since December 1883. Notice of appeal on
the part OF defendants has been filed.

BERLIN, Dec. 26.-Prince Bismarck had
narrow escape from railroad accident
yesterday which might have proved dis
astrous. He was crossing the track In
his carriage Immediately in front of the
Frederick station. The keeper being abb
sent, the barriers were not lowered, and
no warning of the approaching train was
given. When half over the rails the
coachman heard the train coming. He
whipped up his horses and cleared the
track just as the train appeared around
the curve. Half minute later the car
riage would have been struck. The train
dashed into wagon which was following
close to the carriage of the prince and
smashed it to pieces, killing the driver and

GRAVES DENIES EVERYTHING.
The Doctor Denies the Interview in
Which He yiIified Mrs Barnaby.


DENVER, Dec. 26.-In the Graves trial
this morning Stevens announced that
after the examination of q letter the prose-
cution withdrew all objections to it's being
admitted in evidence. This is the letter
which, 1t is claimed, the doctor wrote to
Mrs. Barnaby in San Francisco at the
time she was on her way to Denver, and
about the time the fatal bottle was mailed.
It's intentions are TO prove that the doctor
thought that Mrs Barnaby was in San
francisco, and that therefore he could not
have mailed the bottle to her in Denver if
he thought she was elsewhere.
Judge Furman read the letter, which ex-
planned TO Mrs. Barnaby how to get the
doctors checks cashed and told of the
death of his brother. 1t was dated March
q, and posted at Providence March 80.
Stevens then said he wished the letter to
go into evidence under the instructions
OF the court. The letter was passed from
juror to juror, and finally handed back to
Judge Furman.
Judge Furman resumed the doctors di-
rect examination, and he denied that he
told Mrs. Hickey that ne had engaged
Dollie Hanley to spy on Mrs. Barnaby.
He was in Denver in March last with his
DrOtner remains.
The cross-examination of DR.. Graves
was lengthy. The doctor denied nearly
everything sworn to by the other wit
nesses. or if he did not deny the testimony
he would say he could not remember He
did not attempt to find out about the au-
topsy or analysis on Mrs Barnaby's re-
mains, Notwithstanding that he had heard
she was poisoned. Instead of this he and
friend visited ball game the day
of his arrival. DR.. Graves said he
did not tell the Worrells that he
thought the Bennett family had sent the
bottle of whisky. He acknowledged being
interviewed by Reporter Lincoln in the
Providence telegraph Office, and he might
have told Lincoln that Mrs. Barnaby had
many lovers, and that some of them we're
vile, but he denied having said he saw
Mrs. Barnaby and Edward Bennett in a
compromising position. He acknowl-
edged that the letter he wrote
to Mrs. Barnaby with regard
to putting guardian over her
was his own invention and that the exc
cutors of the Barnaby estate knew no.
thing of it. The prosecution inquired as
to where $4,000 of Mrs. Barnaby's money,
supposed to have been deposited for her
by Graves, was. He said his account
books had been lost, but there was no such
balance due Mrs. Barnaby and that he had
accounted for every cent of her money
He denied having told James III. Conrad
that he had sent bottle of whisky to Mrs.

CHURCH AND STATE IN FRANCE.
Archbishop of AK Arousing Bitter OPP
position by His Offensive Conduct


PARIS, Dec. 26.-According to the Figaro
the Conservatives of Brest have chosen the
archbishop of AK, who was recently fined
for seditious conduct, to contest the seat
in the chamber just left vacant by the
death of Bishop Freppel.
News has been received from Rome that
the pope intends to confer the grand cross
of the order of Christ upon the archbishop
of AK. In the present state of public feel
ing, when a movement is on foot to sepa-
rate the church and state as one of the re-
suits of the archbishop Of Axis conduct,
supported by the letters and sayings of
other distinguished prelates. such q step
upon the part of the Vatican is significant,
and will be looked upon here, should the
news prove correct as defiance upon the
part of the pope's government of this
country, and the reply of the French gov
ernment may not be slow in forthcoming
The archbishop of Bordeaux, it will be re-
membered. made common cause with
Monsignor Gouthe-Soulard, archbishop of
AK, in a letter which he addressed to all
the Catholics in France. In this letter the
archbishop of Bordeaux defended the right
of members of the episcopate to join the
pilgrimages 10 Rome. According to this
prelate, the archbishop of AK, when he
wrote as he did, was not prompted by
wish to fight but was simply overcome by
disgust
ROME, Dec. 26.-The Diario Offciol today
says il is the intention of the pope to con-
fer the grand order Of the Cross of Christ
upon the archbishop of AK, as a token Of
the sympathy Of his holiness with the
archbishop in the latters recent conviction
and fine for writing an insulting letter 10
the French minister OF public worship.
Should the Didrio Officials information
prove correct, it means that this Is the
pope's defiance to the French government,
and that serious outcome may be antici-
mated in the near future.

says Treatment by anti-pyrine, anti

companied by any form of congestion
OF the lungs or weakness of the heart.
Such cases would better be treated with
stimulants like digitalis or brandy, or by
sub-cutaneous injections of camphor.
