AS is we'll known, DR.. Graves was
awaiting his second trial for the al
legged murder of Mrs. Josephine Barn
ably of Providence, who, at the time Of
her death was visiting friends in Den
yer. She died April 10, 1891. On April 8
she drank from bottle of whisky that
had come by mail from Boston and
that was labelled "Wish you happy
New Year. Please accept this fine old
whisky from your friends in the woods. !"
The whisky contained a solution of
arsenic. DR.. Graves was accused of
sending the bottle.
After one of the most famous trials
in the criminal annals of this court DR..
Graves was convicted of murder in the
first degree and was sentenced to be
hanged. The supreme court granted
him a new trial which was to have be-
gun the latter part of this month.

OLD VETERANS MEET.
GRAND ARMY ENcAMPMENT AT IN
DlANAPOLlS.

In the Neighborhood of Thirty Thousand
visitors Arrive the First Day-Ex-Pres-
ident Benjamin Harrison Dedicates
Camp walder In Military Park.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 5.-Thanks to
Queens weather and successful carry
ing out of the arrangements by the local
committee the Twenty-ninth annual
encampmento of the Grand Army opened
most auspiciously. So far as the num-
Der of visitors from outside points is
concerned, the success of the encamp-
ment is already assured. .All day long
the railroads poured stream of people
into the Hoosier capital. No less than
80 trains with an average of 10 cars to
each are reported by the officials as
having arrived at the Union depot for
the 10 hours ending at o'clock Mon
day night and as each car has its
full quota of passengers, to say
nothing OF those in which even
standing room was at premium,
somewhere in the neighborhood of 3d.
600 must have been turned loose into
the highways and byways of Indian
apolis during the day.
Not all of these, however, were vet
Grams. In fact, the boys in blue are al
most lost in the throngs. The hardy,
hoop-p pole yeomanry, with their wives
and children and other relatives near
and remote, form a large proportion of
the arrivals. 1t is real live national
Grand Army encampment, within easy
reaching distance, and to keep away
from it would be worse than treason.
And 30 they are here in their tens of
thousands with the prospect that their
numbers will be doubled before an
other sunset. AS to the veterans, the
arrivals outside of the state posts are
not by any means up to expectations.
A good many states send less than half
the total that had been scheduled a
month ago as certain to be here, while
q few are likely to make even poorer
showing. In the encampment proper
fully 100 delegates, if not more, will
fail to answer to the rollcall.
Hard times and the continued strin-
gency of the money market; especially
in the far western states, is the ascribed
cause. But the crowds are here and
even if there are quartette of civilians
to every veteran. Indianapolis is just
as well contented and happy.
Almost on the very spot in Military
park where, 81 years ago, the citizens
presented to Colonel Harrison, and his
newly organized Seventeenth regiment
of volunteers, the standards of Indiana
and the United States to carry before
them to the war, the ex-president Mon
day afternoon dedicated Scamp Wal
der" the name bestowed upon some 300
tents in which reunions of regiments
and old soldier societies will be in full
blast for the remainder of the week.
Ten thousand people packed Monu-
ment place and the adjacent blocks to
witness the inaugural electrical illumi-
nation of the soldiers monument.
Sixty-five hundred incandescent lights
bordering the base and tower of the
shaft circling the approaches and ar
ranged in flag and other devices on the
four sides combined to produce an
effect that almost eclipsed the gorgeous
buildinp 1T the worlds fair.

BOYS IN BLUE PARADE.
Years Ago They Marched to the Same
Stirring Strains.

Years Ago They Marched to the Same
Stirring Strains.
INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 6.-The strong
hold of Hoosierdom has capitulated to
the boys that wore the blue. With
flying flags and keeping step to the
same strains that led them through
valleys and over mountains three de-
cades ago, the veterans marched like a
victorious army up and down the prin-
cipal streets Tuesday amid the plaudits
of multitude of enthusiastic specta-
tors.
The sun had scarcely risen when the
people began to gather along the thor
oughfares of the line of march to see
the parade--the biggest one Indianapo-
dis has ever seen The police had been
out before them and had stretched wire
cables along the streets to keep the
crowds away from the marchers.
Against almost every available building
and in every dooryard, stands of seats
had been erected.
In front of the courthouse was great
amphitheater 400 feet long with seats
in it for 1000 people. In the center ex-
tending out into the street like bow
window, was gorgeously decorated
reviewing stand from which the COM
mander-in-chief and his staff saw and
were cheered by the marching thou
sands. AS the hour for the parade ap-
preached the crowd became greater
and thronged every spot from which a
sight was possible. Not one house along
the entire line of march was undecor-
ated, and on the most of them were
elaborate and beautiful arrangements
of flags and other patriotic devices.
The great column began forming
early in the day at the corner of Merid-
ian and Seventh streets, with the
various detachments extending many
blocks on all the adjoining streets. The
line of march was down Meridian street
to New York, west to Pennsylvania,
south to Market, east to New Jersey,
south to Washington, west to Wash
ington, past the reviewing stand front
ing the courthouse to Tennessee, where
1t was dismissed.
The parade was over distance of
three to four miles. 1t was headed by
Major General Carnahan. The rear of
the column was brought up by the de-
partment Of Indiana, which comprised
nearly one-half Of the entire number of
veterans in line. There were bands of
music by the score, flags and banners
too numerous to count. Indianapolis
had promised at Washington to do
itself proud" if it was given the nation
al encampment, and it more than re-
deemed the pledge.
Michigan, Colonel James w. Kidd
commander, ,nede one of the best dis
plays Of the day with 10 posts and near
ly 1000 men. Among them Detroit
post with the Nineteenth Infantry band
attracted wide attention.
A number of reunions and campfres
had been planned for the evening, but
the veterans were so fatigued by the
march and the heat of the day that
they preferred to stay around their
headquarters. Considerable button.

WAS ALMOST A RIOT.
DETROlT'S UNEMPLOYED LABORERs
DEMAND WORK.

Timely Arrival of Police In aIl Probability
Prevented Troubie-Sergeant Hanrahan
With Fourteen Guardians of the Peaca
Succeed In Clearing the Corridors.
DETROIT, Sept. 6.-For a short while
Tuesday it seemed there was imminent
danger of a riot at the city hall. Early
in the morning the corridors were
crowded with men who had come to
the Office of the board of public works
to demand employment.
When Patrolman Hally, who guards
the municipal building by day, arrived
at his post shortly after o'clock, he
found the place fairly packed with sun
Drowned, stolid laborers who gave way
grudgingly to let him pass. President
McVicar of the board of public works
arrived shortly afterwards and on Mr.
Hally's advice telephoned to police
headquarters for more officers.
Before the reinforcements arrived,
City Engineer Ludden tried to force his
way into his Office. He succeeded in
reaching the third story pretty well
used up in the struggle, but there he
found further progress hopelessly
blocked by barrier of inert humanity,
on which he could make no impression.
He was compelled at last to go out upon
the front balcony and walk thence
along a narrow ledge to one of the win
dows of the public works offices. Com
missioner Guthard, who has the mus
cles and figure of a co-Roman
wrestler, seized those who stood in his
way and refused to move and thrust
them right and left with a force that
gained him good deal Of respect, even
though it excited some anger.
Sergeant Hanrahan arrived presently
with IA men and set to work at clear
ing the corridors and stairways. Men
could not have been treated with more
consideration than he showed them, yet
many met his requests and remon-
strances with declarations that they
would not move or with half-mumbled
threats. The great majority gave way,
however, and those who seemed bent or
causing trouble were quietly and good
naturally hustled out.
