Reopen tie Graves Case.

DENVER, Jan. ga startling story.
which if true, will throw some light on
the verdict in the Graves case has leaked
out. 1t is asserted that one of the
Jurors who found Graves guilty re.
marked before the trial that he would
like to get on the jury in order to hang
Graves. This man is said to have dis.
cussed the case frequently during last
summer and to have declared he was a
firm believer in capital punishment OF
course, this means nothing. but if he
made the other remark attributed to hun
he surely was not an unbiased Juror.
Could these alleged facts have been
proven before motion for new trial
was argued before Judge Rising, the
doctor would surely have been given an
other trial
There are but one or two persons who
can prove the truth of this assertion.
One of them is boarding house keeper
with whom the juror stopped, and it is
said she heard him make the damaging
remark. She also told it to another
boader. This boarder told it to a clerk
in law Office and the clerk had his in
formants make an affidavit to what they
had heard. The lawyers of DIR. Graves
have been informed of this new evidence
and steps will at once be taken to inves.
tigate it.
Mrs Graves, wife of the doctor, has
almost completely recovered from the
shock occasioned by the verdict in her
husbands case. Her physician says rest
will restore her to her former physical
condition. She has not been told of the
circumstance of her husbands removal
to the penitentiary and she will not be
told unless all efforts to save him should
fail. She will visit the doctor at Canon
City and then return to her old home at
Newton Center, Mass. 1t is believed
change of scene will benefit her

Some of our contemporaries affect

ton so soon. The San Adtonio Elk.
press asks: "Does the departure of
Mr. Mills for Washington mean that
he has given up his candidacy for the
senate or that Governor Hogg has as.
sured him the seDatorship question
will not be mentioned in the call for
an extra session. 1t may, and then
again it may mean nothing. 1t is
not very far to Washington and pos
sibly Mr.. Mills has determined
to return in week or So
1t seems never to have occurred to the
Express that it was necessary for Mr..
Mills to return to Washington so soon
as his health would permit for the ex.
press purpose Of attending to his du-
ties as the representative of his dis
trict in congress. We are sure the
Express would never have asked such
silly questions if it had not in mo-
ment of prejudice forgotten that Mills
was a member of congress, and that
congress was in session, and that Mills
in accordance with his usual devotion
to his public duties, had simply re-
turned to Washington to attend to
those duties Mills does not have to
come back to Texas. The people are
taking care of his interests here.

Explosion of Dynamite,

DALLAS. Jan. 22.-Today an explosion
in the vicinity of the American Press
Association and the city hall shook the
buildings violently and sent the inmates
in the direction from whence the rumb-
ling came. On Akard, between Main and
Commerce, workmen are engaged in ex-
cavating the rock for a sewer, and dyna-
mite is used. The powder monkey had
placed five sticks of dynamite on the
embankment on the east side of the new
sewer. A spark of fire from some I'M
known source ignited the wrapping of
the explosive. A workman saw the i'm
pending danger and gave the alarm. The
laborers and bystanders fed in all direc-
tons just in the nick of time. The ex-
plosion came and fairly shook the earth
and the buildings. Every pane of glass
in the west wall of the large three-story
building occupied by the American
Press Association was smashed into
atoms. Commodore Jones, printer
was cut on the hands with pieces of
glass. Printer Foster was knocked
down but passed on quickly and ran to
another part of the building. Farmer
Bill Shaw ran to window, shedding
glass as duck sheds water, and was
heard to mutter to himself: "They are
after me again. That last interview of
mine has brought a sockdologer." Other
inmates of the building were cut by
flying glass, but no one was seriously
injured. Glass was broken in the Grand
Central Hotel, Oriental Hotel, Mulvey
q Branch's, the Tlmes-Herald building
and others.

Mr. Cole of Goliad, Tex, who also re.
turned from Palito Blanco Wednesday
night said to a reporter of paper here
that Garza's family had besought him
not to attempt to overthrow the Diaz
administration, but all to no purpose.
Cole is an old friend of the CARA family
and says the time is very near when
Mexico will be engaged in revolution
that will make her tremble from center
to circumference. He says that CARA
is not hostile toward this country and
had his followers known of the presence
of United States troops the recent battles
would not have occurred and that Cara
issued orders to his followers not to re-
peat the incident under pain of death
Cole thinks that Mexico is ripe for
revolution and says that CARA has many
able heutenants working with him and
plenty of money to carry on warfare
Cole is positive that CARA is in Mexico
mastering his fighting forces preparatory
to fierce raid.

A GRAND SIGHT.
Ono Of the Greatest Displays OF
the Aurora Borealis.
Or Northern Lights Ever Witnessed ON This
Contincnt-It Was Seen Mt Dineront
Polnts--Telegraph Wires Strctch-
ing Northwest Affected by 1t.

CHICAGO. Feb. 15.-A gorgeous illumi-
nation of the heavens was visible Satur-
day night Mt cities over q Thousand
miles apart 1t was the most wonder
full exhibition of the aurora or northern
lights possibly ever seen from American
soil. Dispatches to the Associated Press
show that the phenomenon stretched
over great belt of territory, from Iowa
TO the Atlantic coast. The magnificent
spectacle was scientifically observed
at the university of Michigan in Ann
Arbor. Astronomical Director w. j.
Hussey, of that institution, wires the
result to the Associated Press as fol-
lows:
"The brilliant rose red aurora visible
Saturday night was altogether unex-
pected. In general way auroras have
been predicted for about this time. Sat
urday nights display naturally follows
the appearance of the great sun spot
which has been visible during the past
week. Other aurora displays may be
expected in the near future"
Other dispatches to the Associated
Press show that the phenomenon was
witnessed at New York, Louisville,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Colum bus, To-
| ledo, Detroit, indianapolis and at Illi-
nois and Iowa points, but not at st,
Louis, Kansas City or Memphis. At
Cincinnati it was at first supposed that
the city of Hamilton. twenty-five
miles north, was on fire.
The Associated Press correspondent
at Lyons, Ia, gives a typical descrip-
ton as follows:
Rtom east to west the northern sky
here was illumined by an immense half
circle flaming upward nearly to the
zenith. At first blood-red, it dimmed
at times to delicate pink, and would
brighten suddenly. The circle was
shot with rays of almost white lights,
all pointed outward from the circle. 1t
began at G:10 p M, aud for an hour
was a gorgeous light. At o'clock it
began disappearing. The weather had
been very warm throughout the day,
but after the aurora rapidly grew
colder.
Though not seen at st. Paul or Min.
neapolis. the aurora was plainly wit
messed in Milwaukee The peculiar
disturbance known to telegraphers as
an electric storm greatly hampered
operators working wires stretching
north from the city, but did not mater.
ally affect the lines going east and west.

A SECOND MESSIAH.

Whole Community Religion Mad-A New
Born Babe Credited with Being New
Redeemer.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Feb. l5-News comes
from Iron Hill, or, as it is called, the
New Jerusalem. in Jackson county,
that the Free Methodists of that section
have gone wild over religious craze.
Revival meetings are being held and
the entire community has become
greatly agitated over religious matters.
People come for miles around to attend
the meeting. The climax of excitement
was reached when the announcement
was made in New Jerusalem that a
lady had given birth to child, which
the promoters of the meetings declared
was none other than a second Messiah.
The entire community is perfectly wild
with joy, and the statement is almost
universally believed.

Negotiations Between Them-A Roman
Prince Acting as an intermediary.
PARIS, Feb. 15-Incredible though it
may seem, negotiations, with view to
adjustment of the Roman question,
have been opened by the Pope and
King Humbert. The person who is
acting as the intermediary is Roman
prince whose father once occupied a
high position at the vatican, and whose
wife is very close to Queen Mar
gherita. He has been charged by the
king to discuss matters with his holi-
ness According to trustworthy infor-
nation be has already had short in
terview with the pope, who has assured
him that he is ready to enter upon pour
parlers with view to making peace
with Italy if Rome is restored to him.
He is said to have expressly remark
ed: THE real solution of the
Roman question is the res
toration of Rome. This question once
solved, Italy could devote herself
to the improvement of her finances,
and might even disarm. No one would
think of attacking her Far from
weakening Italy, the restoration of
Rome would strengthen her. You see,
we are quite ready to be reconclled."
The royal delegate was so astounded
by this answer that he could make no
comment, and left the papal cham Der.

PARIS, Feb. 13. Several of the news
papers of this city Friday published q
rumor that the Russian, Gen. Won Ilaf-
sord, who, IL was said Thursday, had
shot himself through the head with a
revolver in the Hotel Louvre, was the
victim of nihilists. The rumor has 1t
that he incurred the enmity of the nihi-
lists and thlt for long time they have
been waiting an opportunity to revenge
themselves upon him. Thursday
the opportunity came and he was
assassinated by man who had been
watching his movements for some time
past. 1t is not known positively what
basis there is for the rumor, but the
published report agrees in some of its
details with those connected with tho
murder OF Gen. Silverstoff, the
head of the Russian secret po-
lice in Paris, who was found shot in
the head in his apartments in
the Hotel de Bade in Novem ber, 1890.
He died the day afterward. 1t soon
transpired that he had been shot by a
Pole named Padlewslty, who was em-
ployed as waiter in the Franco-Rus-
sian club, and who was known to his
intimates as rabid nihilist. Every eff
fort was made by the French police and
the Russian secret agents to capture
Padlewsky, but through the aid rem
dered to him by a French journalist,
who subsequently published full ac-
