JUSTICE BRADLEY's FUNERAL.
The ObsequIes Very Simple and In Keep
ing With the Expressed Desire OF the
Dead man.

The ObsequIes Very Simple and In Keep
ing With the Expressed Desire of the
Dead man.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January 24.-In
accordance with the very distinctly ex-
pressed wishes OF the late Justice Joseph
P. Bradley, the funeral services held
here to-day over his body were plain
and simple in the extreme, and this Will
will also be the character OF the final
services in Newark, n. j., tomorrow.
The funeral services were held at his
late residence on Third and streets in
this city. ,
Save for the number Of distinguished
people present, there was nothing to in
cate that it was the funeral OF one OF the
highest officers Of the Government or
that there was anything more remark
able In the man to whose memory those
present were gathered to pay respect
than may be said Of every man who has
quietly and modestly In private life
earned the respect and esteem OF his
associates.
There were only few flowers. The
services were conducted by the Rev.
DIR. Bartlett, of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church, Of which Mr..
Bradley was member. At their con-
cIusion the body was borne to the
hearse by the active pap bearers, fol-
lowed by the justices Of the court; who
were the honorary pail bearers, the
family and relatives and others. The
procession moved to the Pennsylvania
railroad station, where the body was
placed and the Congressional limited
express, which left here at O'Clock.
The remains will be met in Newark on
arrival there at s:45 tonight by friends
OF the dead man, and will probably lie
in the North Dutch Church over night,
and until o'clock tomorrow, when the
last rites will take place and the body

Funeral.
Special Telegram to the REGISTER.

CHARLES TowN, w. VA, January "a.
Harry M. Smoots, the murderer of
Miss Susie Ferrells, in Shepherdstown,
on last Thursday evening, the details Of
which were printed exclusively in the
REGISTER, was last night removed from
the Jail of this county by Deputy
Sheriff w. A. Morgan and taken TO
Charleston to prevent his being lynched.
The feeling of indignation against
him was so high in Shepherdstown and
throughout the county that his removal
was absolutely necessary TO protect his
life. During the two nights that he
was confined here the jail was strongly
guarded, and yesterday the Governor
ordered the State militia to be on duty
at the jail.
At 10 o'clock last night they marched
10 the depot with the sheriff and
prisoner, and were there discharged
from further duty. In the city of Mar
tinsburg, twenty miles distant, the
feeling was so intense against the MUIR
derer that fears were felt that mob
from that city would attack the jail
here aud lynch the prisoner.
The funeral OF the unfortunate young
lady took place to-day, and such large
crowd was never witnessed at funeral
at Shepherdstown. Several hundred peo-
pie from this place and through the
county and from Martinsburg, Hagers-
town and, Washington county, Mary
land, were in attendance. 1t IS estl-
mated that over 5000 people were pres
ent to witness the last sad rites over
the body.
The prisoner will be kept in Charles
ton until his trial, when he will be
brought here. The Circuit Court will
begin In about two weeks, but it is
thought his trial will be postponed on
account of the popular sentiment
against him

A REPORT FROM CARA.
He VIII Wait Till the Grass Grows on
the Plain.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, January "a
Major Lewis T. Morris, third calvary,
who has been in command OF the Gov
ernment forces at Laredo, for a month
past, has reached here iu response to an
order TO report to General Stanley in per-
son.
He says that the CARA bands have
broken into parties Of two or three
persons, and are protected by ranch
men on this side Of the river, who are
undoubtedly in sympathy with Cara.
The United States forces will do moth
ing until spring, when the grass comes
up, as it IS impossible to carry forage
through the chapparal, and in the mat
ter OF grass the country is as hare as
billiard table.
1t is learned here that Cara has been
exactly located by the United States
troops. He will be a prisoner or dead
man inside Of ten days. Adjutant Gen
eral Mabrey is endeavoring to induce
him to come in and surrender, and
stand trial for violation of the neutrali-
ty laws. II he refuses he will be at
tackled.

THE GRAVES CASE.
An Error Pound in the Judges Instruc
tIons to the Jury.


DENVER, COL, January "a 4-Quite a
sensation was caused here to-day by the
unfounded report that Deputy Sheriff
James Wilson, who had escorted DR..
Graves from the court house to the
county Jail, and TO whom the doctor is
said 70 have acknowledged his guilt in
poisoning Mrs. Barnaby, had retracted
his statement and said that the doctor
had not confessed anything to him. Mr..
Wilson emphatically denies that he has
made this retractiOn, although Judge
Furman, attorney for DR.. Graves, says
be is confident of a new trial for his
client, for he has discovered point on
which to urge a rehearing.
He SAYS Judge Rising erred in his
instructions to the jury in that he in
structed them to return verdict OF
guilty II they thought the Doctor had
committed the crime, Notwithstanding
the circumstantial evidence in the case
was complete. Judge Furman has un-
earted a similar set Of instructions on
an old case here in which the defendant
was convicted, bat was granted new
trial by the Supreme Court on account
of the error in the Judges instructions.

dence man whose prominence as pro-
tege Of Mrs. Frank Leslie, coupled with
his pretensions as poet and play
wright, has made his adventures some
what celebrated, has taken new tack to
avoid the four years sentence passed
upon him. BY working upon the
sympathies of several well-knOwn busi-
ness men OF this city he has secured a
big petition for his pardon, and to-day
he withdrew bis appeal in the Criminal
Court that the Government might be
free 10 act. 1t is thought the Governor
will grant the petition. Among the
signers is the First National Bank Of

to the amount OF 5000 by cashing his
check on the Broadway National Bank Of
New York, where he had 40 funds. He
is still to answer similar charge In

the American people. Look, at those

illuminate the City.

The fires of Republicanism are
burning brightly; have never before
seen them as inspiring; but in all my
experience in public life, l have never
witnessed the blood Of the grand old
party boil as it has tonight. A city
of your size that turns out one hun
dred bright young men over II years
old, in uniform, to do honor to Re-
publican speaker, can well be consid-
cred, both from political and busi-
ness standpoint, one of the most pro
gressive of the age So spoke Sen
ator Davis, after he addressed nearly
1000 people from under tent in this
city last Friday night.
The demonstration in honor of this

intellectual giant and favorite son was
something unparalleled in the history
of this community. Nothing like it
has ever before been seen. Indeed, in
larger cities, where the Republican
population is comparatively greater,
and where neither time nor money is
considered, true blue Republicanism
cannot be better shown.
All day Friday arrangements were
being perfected. The large tent was
pitched at the foot of Mill street, even
though chilly Northwestern wind
blew down upon the workers. Dun
nington Hall was placed in order, so
that in case it was too cold, it could
be used. The 100 true and strong Of
the Young Mems Davis Turrell Re
publican club, were calling for their
uniforms, and busy. hands were en-
gagged in filing the torches.
The very air was filled with Repub-
licanism. Pure as a lily, clear as a
crystal, and as pleasant as Balm in
Gilead. All nature smiled, and when
evening came-when the rays of the
autumn sun had tinged the western
sky with purple and gold, the full
moon arose oyer the eastern horizon
as sublimely as ever artist witnessed
it rise over Mount Blanc It looked
down serenely. 1t was Republican

commenced to arrive at the rendeZ-
vous on Mill street. With them also
assembled large number of the elder
Republicans of the city and county,
good many fathers to a goodly num-
ber of the ''kids," hosts from Delhi
and Morton. And when, about Z
o'clock, with the Redwood band at its
head, and President Chollar carrying
the handsome club banner (the gift of
Miss Charlotte Schmahl, partly her
work, and partly the work Of Powell
& Co. and II. n. Bell, Captain Tur-
rell gave the command to march, the
100 strong marched to the depot, fol-
lowed by citizens Of the city, Delhi,
Belyiew and Morton, and others.
When the train arrived, bearing Sen

Torches were lighted, and under them
Senator Davis was escorted to car

and the command to march was given.
