LANTERN SIGNALS.

One of the most valuable helps to the rail
road man is the white lantern, with which
number of signals are made. Raising
1t in the air perpendicularly and dropping
II III straight line means to stop. Hold
ing the lantern near the ground and caus
ing it to swing from side to side across the
track is the signal to back. Reversing this
and swinging the light over the head in a
semicircle is the signal to 20 ahead The
speed at which the engine is To move is
regulated by the rapidty with which the
motions of the lantern are made
Quite complicated serice of signals are
made by the various motions of the hands
and arms, these of course being available
only during the daytime. Waving the
right hand over the head with forefinger
extended, bringing the arm from perpen
dicular down to an almost horizontal posi-
ton, is the signal to go ahead. Extending
either arm horizontally and waving the
hand slightly up and down is the command
to stop. To direct the engineer to back.
either arm is extended and, keeping it IN
a horizontal position. the hand is brought
round TO the opposite shoulder, this being
repeated as often as necessary. New York

A Sensational murder Case.

The case OF DR.. Graves, Of Providence,
r. l., who was convicted OF murder in the
first degree day or two ago at Denver,
Col, on the charge of having poisoned Mrs
Barnaby, also Of Providencs, appears to
have more sensations Ia it. When the ver-
dict was rendered it was thought very little
moro would DO heard of the case. It is al
legged, however, that the doctor while on
the way to hts cell, after the verdict had
been rendered, confessed to the deputies
who had him in charge that he was guilty,
and asserted that one of his counsel, a
man named Bsllou, had prompted
him TO commit the crime with
the expectation of getting part Of Mrs.
Barnaby's wealth. The doctor denies that
he made confession and now asserts that
both he and Ballou are innocent. 1t Is
hardly probable, however, that the deputies
would have said he made confession il ne
had not done SO.
Many sensational features have been de-
veloped ia the Case since it was made public.
The fact that man living in Providence
should be tried in Denver for the murder Of
a resident of Providence is we'll calculated
to attract attention, though 1t is not re-
markable when the manner In which the
murder was committed is considered.
DR.. Graves was In charge OF Mrs. Bar
nabys property and was also her physician.
He had great influence over her and in
duced her to make will in which she be-
queathed him quite large sum Of money.
He advised her to make a trip to the west
for her health. He sent her a bottle OF
whisky in which there was poison. II
reached her at Denver. She drank some of
the poisoned whisky and her death was tae
result.
The evidence against Dr. Graves was cir
| cumstantial, but 1t was strong. Ballou,
whom. 1t is alleged, DR.. Graves has charged
with suggesting the crime, is a lawyer OF
Providence and was DR.. Graves legal ad-
wiser in the management of Mrs. Barnaby' Is
| affairs.
| The case is a celebrated one, and it would
not be surprising il DR.. Graves should make
! more revelations before il finally disap-
pears from public view.

The olcott Committee.

There Is a decidedly better feeling with
regard 70 the Central railroad system than
there was few days ago This Is IN
doubtediy due to the strong representation
which Savannah has on the board Of d.
rectors and also 10 the fact that the Ter
minal management selected the board. The
belief is that IL the Terminal management
intended to wreck the Central or operate the
road 50 as to injure Savannah it would not
have put so many Savannah men on the
board, particularly men who cannot be in
fuenced to consent 20 anything against the
Central's or Savannah's interest. It is true
the directors have very little power, but
they can prevent the Centrsl's securities
from being improperly used, and
that they will certainly do. And
If they find that the Central's property is
not being kept in good condition they can
bring influences to bear that will force the
Richmond and Danville to comply strictly
with its contract
The report Of the Olcott COMMITTEES is
looked for with a great deal Of interest.
There seems 20 be a feeling that the COM
mittee will solve the difficulties under which
the Terminal and the companies it controls
have been laboring. The men who COM
pose the committee are interested In the
Terminal properties and they have the con-
hdence of financial institutions In New
York. It is reasonable TO expect, therefore,
that they will recommend plan OF adjust
ment that will be acceptable and that can
be carried out There are no pressing
troubles at present. The purpose Of the
Ofcott committee is 10 put the Terminal and
its properties upon a sound financial basis.
