STARTLING DISCLOSURES,

DR.. Graves Friends Claim they VIII
Shortly Be Made.
DENVER, Colo. Jan. l9.-The friends
of Dr. Graves claim that startling dis
coveries will be given to the public
shortly. Detective Keith and three op-
eratives have been diligently striving to
determine who sent the bottle of whisky
on the theory that it contained pure
liquor when mailed and that the stuff
was doctored in Denver. It is held that
an affidavit has been signed by several
persons who were in Herb Rutherly's
saloon on Seventh street between Champ
and South streets a few days ago when
one Of the witnesses, becoming intoxi-
Gated, talked freely. He spoke of his
acquaintance with all the parties in the
case, and as the minutes sped by his
volubility increased. He had plenty of
listeners for the topic was uppermost
in the public mind and every word
was eagerly hailed. He did not meet
with any interruption, and as the effect
of his potations became more apparent
he grew bolder in his assertions, until
he had startled his audience with the
statement that he himself had bought
the whisky and mailed it to the Denver
address. The story has created a great
sensation here, and, although doubted
by some, is claimed to be correct by
people who were in the saloon. The
affidavits have not been made. A couple
of letters are expected hourly from Mon
tana which the defense claims will cor
roborate that bad feelings existed be-
tween Mrs. Barnaby and the Worrells,
and severa, more are also good for

Millions of Dollar. Involved

CHICAGO. Jan. ia bitter and i'm
portant legal battle involving millions
of dollars was begun in the circuit court
here by the non-associate packers at the
stock yards against the Union Stock
Yards and Transit Company of Chicago,
the Chicago junction Railway and
Union Stock Yards company, Armour
& Co., Nelson, Morris & Co., the Fair
bank Canning company and Swift &
Co., to break up an alleged trust and
monopoly among the said companies.
The litigation is brought to set aside an
agreement made in July last between
the Stock Yards company and the "Big

An Ohio Judge Blown Sixty Feet and
Badly Injured.
LANCASTER, O., Jan. 19.-At $50 a.
m. occurred the most disastrous explo-
sioi,Af natural gas in the history of
natural gas here. The residence of
Judge John S. Brazee two story brick
on North Columbus street, was leveled
to the ground. Mrs. Brazee, four grown
children and the servant were in bed at
the tims, Judge Brazee being the only
occupaat stirring. He was blown sixty
feet across the street, where he was
found unconscious and bleeding from
severe wounds about the head. It
seems slmost miracle that none of the
sleeping occupants of the house were
seriously injared. The walls fell out

lives Windows were broken for sew
eral squares around, and the organ in an
adjoining church was ruined.

A SUPPOSED Murderer

DETROIT, Jan. 16. The arrest of Eber

either furnish key to Grand Haven

few days later, ostensibly to return

not been discovered, although a friend

railroad toward Grand Rapids, and on
Dec. II his father received note from
him to the effect that he would find his
body off the north pier, as he was going
to drown himself in Lake Michigan.
The water in the vicinity of the north
pier was dragged, but without success,

demented and has either made away

Four Fatallti. s.

SPRING VALLEY, Mimi, Jan. GA
most peculiar and frightful quadruple
accident has just occurred in this city.
Frank Ostrander, who, with his wife,
lives in an isolated spot on Mahood's
creek, in Fillmore township, had the
misfortune to cut his leg badly while
chopping in the timber. Kind friends
helped him to his home and put him to
bed. That evening his wife, who was
in {; delicate condition, went to his barn
to milk the COW. This duty had usually
been performed by the husband, and
the COW was unused to the care of
woman's hand. Before she had half
finished the process of milking the ami
NAL resented this unusual attention and
kicked the woman clear across the barn,
almost killing her. Half dead and un-
able to walk, she crawled through the
snow and ice to the house, where un-
aided and alone,s she gave birth to twins.
In her great agony, without helping
hand near to give proper aid in
her hour of distress, she lay on the
floor and saw her two little darlings
die. The burden of grief was too great
for the mother to bear, and alone IN
that silent room, with her husband near
by but unable to move, she, too, gave
way under the strain and took the long
journev of death shortly after her little
ones.
The father, in his frenzy of grief,
could stand the scene no longer, and in
his efforts to rise from his bed to 20 to
his wife's assistance started his injured
leg to bleeding, and before he could
reach their side had bled to death. The
scene presented to those who came to
the house when it was too late is be-
yond description, and no words in the
lexicon of fatalities can do it justice.

CHILE'S BOLD MOVE.
1t Is RumOred That She Has Sent

They Are Equipped With a Torpedo
Boat and Four Good
Cruisers.

Concentration OF Gherardi's and
Walkers Fleets.
Fears For Admiral Walker,

NEW YORK, Jan. 20. The Recorders
Washington special says long dispatch
was received at the navy department
from Commander Evans. Captain
Evans has reported to the department
that four of the best cruisers of the
Chilian navy will leave Valparaiso,
Jan. 20. for the Straits of Magellan,
with torpedo boat besides. From an
other officer comes the additional infor-
nation that the captain of one of the
English ships of war in those waters
said that the Chilian commander in
formed him that the fleet was going on
special mission. "You may be aston
ished before long," he said. This is in
terpreted to mean that Admiral
Walkers fleet may be halted there and
directed to turn back or risk fight.
This is the most serious indication of
Chili's hostile intentions that the navy
department has received. Naval officers
say that it can only mean one thing,
which is, that Chill
Intends Opening the Ball Herself
The vessels to go are said to be the Es-
meralda, the Almirante Cochrane, the
Pinto, a new armored cruiser whose
sailing rate is nineteen knots, and the
Condell, the famous fast torpedo boat
that blew up the Blanco Encalado.
Admiral Walker, in his flagship, the
Chicago, arrived at Montevideo, Jan.
II. He has been informed of what
might await him and warned to make
ready for it.
Feel Alarmed About Walker.
For the first time there is real alarm
here at the threatened danger of Ad-
miral Walker. His squadron is not
equipped with torpedoes and the Chi
cago might be blown up in spite of the
utmost vigilance. It would be a daring
and plucky attempt, but so was the sue
cessful attempt on the Blanco Encalada.
Captain Evans also informs the depart
ment that he is taking the most extreme
precautions, on account of what he has
been told, for the safety of the York
town. He does not intend to be blown
out of the water if he can help it.
Montt Advises Pereoia.
Senior Montt has sent to the minister
of foreign affairs dispatch of several
hundred words, advising Pereoia of the
determination Of the United States
and the warlike feeling which
prevades every department of
the government and congress and
strongly urging him to make some
definite advances which might serve to
allay the bitter feeling at Washington.
The minister has not until now realized
the full extent of the war feeling at
Washington, and forcibly tells Pereoia
that the fullness of our preparations is
q matter of surprise to him.

Attack the Wisconsin Reapportionmen:
MADISON, Wis, Jan. 1S.-Suit was
brought in the supreme court here to
overthrow the apportionment made by
the last Democratic legislature and
whatever decision is rendered endless
complications may follow. Should the
present districting be declared uncon-
stitutional radical Democrats say an
extra session of the legislature would be
called which would not only pass an
apportionment bill to its liking, but
michiganize the state, thus assuring
several Democratic electors this fall.
On the other hand, hot-headed Republi-
cans threaten. even if the present suit
Is not sustained, to nominate men,
bers Of the legislature in the old dis
tricts. In this Democrats would nomin.
ate in the new districts and the result
would be two legislatures, and the gov
ernor would have to decide which to
recognize. This scheme, of course, as
sumes the election of Republican gov
ernor.
The moving spirit in the present suits
has been A. j. Turner, of Portage. The
suits are brought in tho name of Dis
trict Attorney S. w. Pierce, of Adams
county. He presented petition in the
supreme court through ex-Attorney
General G. E. Estabrook. The COM
plaint alleges that the districts were
made without reference to population
and are not of convenient and contiguous
territory. The court took the matter
under advisement and will decide next

HE COULDN'T MARRY TWO.
Trouble Over a Marriage Performed By
 Bryan J. Smith.

Trouble Over Marriage PerfOI med By
 Bryan J. Smith.
 A case which has excited many of the Polanders in this city, came to light to- day. Last Wednesday Bryan J. Smith married couple who gave their namss as William Leapeanius and Ann Michlouskey. After the ceremony their friends advised them to be married by a minister. They called upon a clergy man, but ke refused to perform the cere- mony. They then drove to Naugatuck, but priest, upon whom they waited, also refused to marry them. This morning, a sister of the bride came on from New York and had warrant swear out for the arrest of Leapeanius, claiming that he was the father of her child, which was born in New Yolk three weeks ago. She said he had sent her away so that he could marry her sister. In Attorney Lowe's office there was quite scene. The mother of the young women rushed in and seeing her son-in-law, attempted to thrash him. She was only prevented by the interven- tion of Constable O'Brien. At last ac- counts William was still in the con- stables office awaiting bondsman. If the latter does not appear he will be taken to New Haven jail this afternoon.
