PERKINS GETS THE SEAT.
BITTER FIGHT OVER THE KANSAS
SENATORSHIP ENDED.

Ex-Congressman Perkins Appointed to
Succeed Senator Plumb-Shermnn Men
Claim to Have the Necessary Votes to
Elect in the Ohio Contest.
Topeka, Kan, Jan. B. Governor
Humphrey has sppointed Hon. Bishop
Perkins, of Oswego, senator to succeed
the late Senator Plumb. The fight has
been hard one and the governor has
been besieged by friends of the many
applicants from the day of Senator
Plumb's funeral. A number of ugly
stories were set afoat about Perkins and
he had to come here from Washington
to refute them. In speaking of the ap-
pointment Governor Humphrey said:
None of the charges brought against
Perkins were substantiated and he was
evidently stronger with the people than
any other applicant. 1t was necessary
to appoint man who could go right
ahead with the work undertaken by
Senator Plumb and I was convinced by
reason of his acquaintance and expe-
rience in Washington that Perkins was
the best man"

GRAVES FOUND GUILTY.
A Verdict of Murder in the First Degre,
Returned Aeainst the Doctor

A Verdict of Murder in the First Degree
Returned Against the Doctor.
DENVER, Jan. 4.-The arguments in
Graves murder trial closed during the
afternoon and the jury retired to pre-
pare their verdict. The large audience
did not leave the room, as an early YER
dict was expected. At 9:45 the jury
was brought into court, and the fore
man handed the clerk the written YER
dict. The clerk read aloud: "We, the
jury, find DR.. T. Thatcher Graves
guilty of murder in the first degree" "
AS the verdict was read Graves gave a
violent start, almost leaping from his
chair. The perspiration instantly start
ed and great drops of sweat dropped
from his forehead. He then covered his
face with his hands and was silent. His
attorney, judge Furman, took the YER
dict almost equally as hard, and actu-
ally shed tears. The judge asked Mr..
Furman if he desired the jury polled,
and the latter savagely replied ''no,"
but made a motion for new trial for
DR.. Graves.

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 4.-Dr. Graves
emphatically repudiates the alleged con-
fession published here. He says he did
not tell anything to Deputies Wilson
and Means. He declares that Ballou is
a gentleman and truthful in every re-
spect. Few people here take any stock
in the confession story. James Wilson
is hard character, who is even now
under indictment fot a brutal assault on
Dawyer Mayes, of this city. Nothing
has been heard from Colonel Ballou
since his hasty leave Saturday night.
Mr.. Ballou's mind is said to have been
affected by the trial.

THE OHIO CONTEST.
Foraker and Sherman Both Still Claim
to Be Ahead.

Foraker and Sherman Both Still Claim
to Be Ahead.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 4.-The only fea-
ture that developed in the senatorial
contest during the day was the pubiea-
tion, by Senator Parker of Cuyahoga,
of statement to the public that he was
for Foraker for senator. He had, how
ever, been presented in all the lists pre-
viously made as Foraker man. So the
announcement lis insignificant. The
Foraker men, however, are persistent in
claiming that the vote for speaker in the
house organization caucus Saturday is
no reliable indication of how the mem
bers Of the house will vote in the sena-
borial caucus.
If the Foraker men are right, of
course, Sherman's strength in the house
is at least votes less than the Laylin
strength. Sherman will have 13 votes
in the senate if Iden, a contestant, who
will undoubtedly be seated, is not ad
mitted to the caucus, and IA if he is
given vote.
Foraker claims votes in the senate,
but there is no ground for the claim.
Conceding the Foraker claims in the
house, which may be correct, Sherman
would have 80 votes, and the IA in the
senate would give him 46, or short of
enough to nominate, while Foraker
would have short of enough to NOM
mate.
Welsh and Dicks are supposed, of
course, in this estimate, to vote for Nc
Kinley and Foster, respectively. They
would be able to elect Sherman, or tie
him with Foraker.
Another Estimate.
Another estimate places Foraker's
strength at 80 in the house and 7 in the
senate-total, 45. If Iden were deprived
of his vote in the senate Sherman's vote
under this estimate would fall to A.
Welsh and Dicks voting for Foraker
ultimately, as they probably would do,
would give Foraker the necessary Al
votes and nominate him. It will be
seen that much more depends upon the
admission of Iden to the caucus, and
there will no doubt be a preliminary
fight over it. He was admitted to the
Republican senate caucus Saturday and
this will be used as precedent. The
first vote on senator by the two branches
of the legislature will be taken next
Tuesday

TUE NEW SCHEDULE.
Fast Trains VIII Run In and Out of Roa-
noke.

Fast Trains VIII Run In and Out of Koa-
noke.
On Sunday, the 18th instant, new
schedule goes into effect over the Nor
folk and Western railroad, which will
be a great improvement on the one now
in force. Under this schedule trains
will leave Washington at 11:i5 p. m.
and arrive at Roanoke 1855 a. IN. Leave
Roanoke at 500 q. M, arrive at Bristol
1920 D. M, and at Chattanooga at Gas
%. IN. The north bound will leave Chat
tanooga at 1875 m; leave Bristol at $50
D. m, arrive at Roanoke 12:40 u. m.
Leave Roanoke at 12:45 q. N. and arrive
in Washington $3.50 a. m.
This schedule shortens the time one
hour and fifteen minutes between Roa-
noke AND Washington, both ways. This
train will make very few stops between
Washington and Chattanooga and is
especially designed for through travel.
Making close connection at Chattanooga
with the Queen and Crescent, it will
shorten the time between Roanoke and
New Orleans to about thirtyfour hours
and will render this the most deSira BILE
route from the South and Southwest to
the North and East. All the cars will
be vestibuled and as soon as possible
hal dsome dining car will be run over
the entire line.
These new fast limited trains will be
known as Nos. and 6. and will carry
sieepers between New York and New
Orleans and Washington and Memphis.
Trains Nos. IL and IL between Roa-
noke and Bristol will be discontinued,
and the local business heretofore done

in. Roanoke at 9:15..p. m. Leave Roanoke
for Shenandoah at 5 p. m. and arrive at
Shenandoah 9:45 p. m. Trains Nos.

L
Tho Tammany Chieftain Loses s017 OF
Cleveland's Nomination.
WASHINGTON, July S-Big Bourke
Cochran has lost a big bet, and little
MIR. Tracey won it. Cochran paid il yes
terday. He was counting out crisr
greenbacks into the small hands Of Gen
eral Tracey, of Albany, as a reporte,
came up and asked the meaning of it all
The General was smiling, and he had
reason to. The big Tammany leader
was smiling too, but it was forced.
There was no one about when Cochran
hrst began placing the bills in Tracey's
outstretchede hand, but he kept piling
| thom on so deeply that the unusual
lransactlon oil u Congressman getting SO
much money, and the still more unusual
transaction of q Congressman paying
out so large sam, drew quite a crowd
into the small space in front of the rail
ing OF the paying teller, in the sergeant
| alarms room Of the House.
Cochran started out by LAYING n nice
now one hundred dollar bill in Tracey's
hand. followed by four others of like
denomination and great many smaller
ones, until he dropped two dollar bill.
saying, There is nine hundred and
| seventy-five dollars and the bet is
paid"
Then Tracy went in on the floor and
taking his New York colleague, Mr..
Fitch, down into the restaurant, thew
had modest lunch together that came
to 81. Is. 1t was Dutch treat" Gen.
Tracey generously paying the odd five
cents.
There is quite little history to the
bet. The day after the midwinter con-
vention was held at Albany the Albany
representative met the burly Bourke in
the lobby of the house and immediately
began to vehemeDtly protest against the
injustice of what he called the trumped
up enthusiasm for Senator Hill. The
argument became quite heated, and in
reply to an assertion on the part of
General Tracey that Cleveland would
be nominated at Chicago on the first
ballot Mr.. Cochran said: "I'll bet you
Sil7 to $50 that Cleveland is not nomi-
mated on the first ballot"
"I'll take that" said Tracey holly,
land, what is moro, I'll bet you $500
even that Cleveland is the nominee at
Chicago"
"Well; I'll take that" said Cockren,
and then they separated.
The matter has never been men toned
by either gentleman from that day to
this. Just before the House met yes
terday Cochran came over from his seat
on the Republican side AMI walking up
to Tracey's seat he said he would like
to see him moment. Tracey followed
him out to the Office of the Sergeant-at-
Arms, and there the Tammany chief
tain drew his entire salary for last
month and adding the necessary amount
from his inside pocket, paid his debt of
honor. $500 of the S9l7 being in silver
certificates.
