To meet the demands of our increasing trade
we have been compelled to devote our first
floor to the finer grades of Carpets, and Cur
Itains, and we now have facilities for handling
and displaying our stock which will be alike
pleasing and satisfactory to ourselves and pa
trons-the rear being carpeted and fitted up
for the display of Curtains and Tapestries
With our increased facilities for handling
these goods, cur stock has been correspond
ingly enlarged and we now pride ourselves on
having one of the finest Carpet Rooms in
Northern Ohio. We feel that we are warrant
ed in assuring our friends that we can offer
them advantages, as an exclusive Carpet and
Upholstery House, not to be had elsewhere
in this County or vicinity.

WANTS $4,000 DAMAGES
Price Set Upon Brakeman's Life
by His Administrator.
WILLIAM R. GRAVES THE VICTIM.
George Il. Brown. His Administrator
Brings Suit in the Court of Common
Pleas, and Alleges Negligence on the
Part of the Railroad Company.

On Jan. 10, Of this year William X.
Graves, brakeman on freight train of the
Providence and Worcester division of the
New York, Providence and Boston Rail
road, was killed by the cars az Manville
because of the breaking apart of the train
of which he was head -breakman.
In the Court Of Common Pleas, before
Judge Wilbur, to day, the trial of the
suit brought by George Brown against
the railroad company was begun.
The declaration alleges negligence on
the part of the railroad company and
places damages at $4,000 The testimony
was to the effect that Graves was sent
out ahead to flag" at Manville
and as the train approached him it
slowed up to allow him TO jump
aboard the engine. Here he left his
flag and started across the tender
to the train and at the instant he
was about to jump on the first car, the
train broke apart and he went under the
cars. Several heavily y-laden boa cars
passed over him, severing his head and
right arm from his body. The break in
the train was caused by the breaking of a
coupling pin.

DENVER, Col, Dec. 14.-The third week
of the trial of DIR. Il. Thatcher Graves for
the murder of Mrs. J. Is. Bal naby, opened
to-day. DIR. Graves was one of the first
persons to be present this morning. From
this time out the trial will be of the great
est possible interest.
Mrs. f. S. Worrell, Jr., was
called as the first witness.
She testified that Mrs. Barnaby
Mrs. Worrell and Mr.. Worrell went to
Morriston on April 18th, and that Mrs.
Barnaby ate hearty dinner there, Mr..
Worrell could not eat anything
the ladies partook of whiskey

by said that she did not think that the
Bennetts sent the poison, but when asked
If she thought that DR.. Graves sent it she
made no answer.
Mrs. Barnaby died on April 49, and DR..
Graves came there on the following Fri
day. He said that he had left home on the
previous Sunday night, but he had
missed his connections at Chicago,
where he was half sick with the grippe
He knew when he left Providence that
Mrs. Barnaby was dead. He said that she

being told said that he would have to 90
down to the undertakers and arrange
about the care of it. He was
shown the inscription on tie bottle
ana SAID that the Bennetts must have
written 1T. He was very nervous,
and he almost jumped from his chair
when he learned that Mrs. Conrad
was in the city. He knew she was to be
at the Worrells to take lunch and half
promised TO come back and meet her but
he did not come back to the house at all.
Mrs. Barnaby was asked by the witness
whether she thought the Bennetts sent her
the bottle. Mrs. Barnaby said NO" but
when asked IL she thought DR. Graves sent
it TO her she would make no answer.
AT the depot the night the funeral
party left for Providence, DIR. Graves
passed twice and then, being introduced
that he could not catch her name.
Finally he said "Oh, yes, remember.
You are Mrs. Barnaby's friend. She was
very great friend of mine"
A searching cross-examination fol-
lowed, in which young Mrs Worrell
repeated her evidence without a
of the defense to show that I'll there had had
been an opportunity for Juggling" the
bottle of whiskey availed. Mrs. Worrell,
Sr, was at first much sicker than Mrs
Barnaby. The latter was lying down say
ing she was very tired, but sometime after
Mrs. Barnaby became violently ill.
Mrs: Barnaby said on Sunday that she
was dissatisfied with DIR. Graves manage
ment OF her estate, and that she could not
tell what shape the estate was i'm until she
got East, whittier she was to have started
on the next day.
IL was because of this talk that the

SLOW WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Waiting for the Committee Appoint
ments-- Springer for Leader.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 14.-So far as
actual legislative business is concerned, 1t
is probable that the present week in Con-
gress will be devoid of feature or interest.
many senators and representatives, assum-
ing that the holiday recess will begin be-
fore the end Of the present week, have
made arrangements to leave Washington
for their homes in few days.
The reorganization of the Senate COM
mittees will probably be completed to-
morrow. The House will not meet until
Wednesday, and then, after a brief season,
il will probably adjourn with an under
standing that on the day of re -assemblage
it will adjourn for the Christmas recess.
Roger q. Mills will not be appointed
chairman of the committee on Ways and
Means. BY his own acts he has made the
appointment practically impossible from
the standpoint of Speaker Crisp. William
NJ. Springer will be named for the posi-
tion, by virtue of which he will become
the leader of the House. Mr.. Mills does
not know this yet. Neither does Springer,
but il is fact.
IL is the purpose of several of the Demo
cratic leaders to pass bills making free of
duty, raw wool, coal, iron ore, tin plate
and cotton, each as separate measure,
and send them 10 the Senate Mr.. Spring
er says that if the Republicans undertake
to embarrass the Democratic majority sus-
pension of the rules will be resorted to.
There is n two-thirds majority of Demo
cratic members in the House and fifteen
votes TO spare without counting the Alli-
ance members. Bills called up under sus-
pension of the rules are not subject TO
amendment.
