COULDN'T STAND THE PRESSURE.
DR.. Graves, the Alleged Murderer of Mrs.
Barnaby, Commits Suicide.

DIR. L. Thatcher Graves, formerly
of Providence, r. L., was found dead
in his cell this morning in the county
Jail in Denver, September 3rd, where
he was awaiting a rehearing on the
charge OF having poisoned Mrs. Bar
naby, a wealthy widow also OF Provi-
dence. The poisoning was said to
have been done to cover up DIR.
Graves alleged defalcations as mana
ger of Mrs. Barnaby's estate. The
doctor took his own life, using NOR
phiue. In a satchel in the doctors
cell were found five letters, the first
one having been written August 9th
last, showing that his suicide was con-
templated even then. The following
is the first letter opened:
To THE CORONER OF DENVER, Colo:
DEAR SIR-Please do not hold an autopsy
on my remains. The cause of death may
be rendered az follows: ''Died from perse-
cution; worn out, exhausted"
Yours Respectfully,
T. THATCHER GRAVES, NJ. ID.
The last letter is directed to Captain
Crews, lailer of the county Jail, and is
full OF bitterness toward County At
torney j. n. Stevens, who secured
Graves conviction in the first trial
and has been working hard to again
have the doctor convicted.
notwithstanding the above letters,
Captain Crews in an interview indig-
nantly denies that DIR. Graves COM
mitted suicide. He says the doctor
died OF a broken heart, and to use the
captains words: "He was murdered
by the attorneys for. the state, who
have harrassed the old man to
DEATH" The other letters left are one
each for Mrs. DIR. Graves and the
board OF county commissioners.

Captured the City.

INDIANAPoLIs, Sept. 5.-This was
great day in the Grand Army encamp-
ment. The veterans are all here and
have possession of the city. All no.
tells, ali private residences, all school
houses and all other public buildings
are full, all squares and vacant places
are dotted with white tents; great
barracks, capable OF accommodating
nearly $4,000 are entirely taken up
with visitors. Arrangements are SO
complete, however, that all are cared
for without confusion. The city is
ablaze with decorations from end to
end. People began to gather along
the road of the parade with the rising
sun. Everywhere stands were placed
to furnish points of view. 1t is esti-
mated that 10000 were in line.
In the middle of the line a company
marched singing "We'll hang Hoke
Smith on a sour apple tree" The
sentiment was both hissed and
| cheered.
The annual reports have been com.
pleted and printed. That of the ad
lutant general shows a membership in
good standing of 3a7, ,223, a net loss
of membership the past year of 1857
During the year there were 7,00f
deaths in the order, larger than any
previous year. Under the column
Expended in charity" was reported
SITS, ,S45. Since these records hav,
been kept there has been reported un
der this head 50, 100000.

Closing Woolen Mills.

The dullness in the wool market,
noted on the 1st ult., increased as the
month progressed. AS the mills COM
pleted old orders and failed to receive
new ones they shut down. Others
with untitled orders for goods were
kept running. The impression was
general that the president would give
some assurance in his message to con-
gress that tariff revision at this time,
at least, would be abandoned. The
message, however, was a disappoint-
ment to those who held these views,
for taking the opposite ground, the
president declared tariff revision sec
ond only in Importance to silver legis-
lation, and stated that but for the
urgency of the latter, an extra session,
in any event, would have been called
later on for the purpose OF revising
the tariff. The publication of the
message was followed at once by
wholesale cancellations of orders and
a large number of mills, the managers
OF which had not contemplated any
immediate necessity for closing, were
suddenly shut down and still remain
closed. In the opinion of some of his
friends, the president lost an oppor-
tunity for restoring confidence. A
few well-timed words in the message
would at once have allayed the fear
OF tariff revision which, more than
any other cause, is regarded by most
manufacturers as responsible for the
closing of their factories. The uncer-
tainty as to the degree of tariff re-
vision is proving almost as destruc-
tive to industrial activity as actual
free wool legislation itself.-Justice,
Bateman & Co.

RAN AWAY DOWN HILL.
Terrific Trip of Cincinnati Electric Train
Down a Steep Grade.

A Cincinnati special says: Tonight
at 6 o'clock on the electric railway
from Avondale to Cincinnati the air
brakes OF an incoming train OF two
cars gave way simultaneously. For q
mile and quarter the road is down
grade. 1t makes long curve before
intersecting with Broadway, which
street it enters at right angles. The
grade for 400 yards before entering
Broadway is five or six feet to the
hundred. The motor man, when the
brakes failed, tried to reverse the
wheels, but the wire controller burned
off, and the motor man, conductor
and forty-five passengers were at the
mercy of the wild train. Faster and
faster it sped. Now and then a
passenger dropped out on the stony
street.
Hall a mile from the starting point
speed of thirty miles an hour was
acquired. Swifter and swifter sped
the two fated cars. Louder and more
deafening grew the screams. Around
the great bend the train shot at fifty
miles an hour, with her speed accel-
Grating at every second. Into Broad
way it dashed at seventy miles an
hour. Tearing across the street it
struck a big cedar telegraph pole, cut
ting it in two. After cutting through
the pole the car went on and struck
the huge iron door post in the build
ing at the corner and split it and
thrust half the length of the car into
the building. Over this mass of pull
verified ruin the rear car leaped to
destruction. All around in this heap
of debris were scattered the dead and
dying. So far as can be learned not a
soul escaped injury.
Mamie Naren, aged 13, was killed
The fatally injured are Eliza Earhart,
aged So; Louiza Berkeley; Mary Ma.
honey, aged 40; Sarah Dublin, Mrs
Walter Richards, Lulu Bath.

We thereby beg to petition your hon.
orable body that the present tariff on
wool be not reduced. II, however, our
petition be not granted we ask that
any legislation toward the reduction
OF the tariff on wool be so enacted
that it will not take effect for two
years after the passage thereof, so the
sheepmen may prepare to meet the
further depression in their business.
The convention then adjourned sine
die and repaired to the dining room
OF the Park to attend the banquet.

The Homeopathic hospital in Blooms

exhibit at the great show in Chicago. 1t
is a collection of dolls to illustrate nurs-

cuffs and collar. y collection of little
doll invalids is exhibited i'll tiny beds.
They are suffering from broken thighs
and other injuries and are fitted with

teal and useful one, and the collection
will no doubt attract the attention of

\ young woman was saved in an al
most miraculous manner the other
day from almost certain death. She
was walking through n mill at Lewis
ton, Ne. when her hair fell down III
front of a piece Of heavy machinery and
the ends Of the hair caught in some slow
ly revolving cogwhcels. The woman
screamed, but did not have the presence
of mind to break away at once before
more strands of hair were caught and
dragged in. She stood there almost mo-
tionless screaming, while her head was
drawn nearer and nearer to the fatal
wheels. Presently her cries attracted
the attention OF q man, who rushed 10
her assistance and severed her hair with
a knife just as her head was approach

He Was His Own Grandfather.

Of all genealogical curiosities the one
set forth below is probably the oldest
a singular piece of reasoning to prove
that a man may be his own grandfather!
Here it is: There was widow (Anne)
and her daughter Jane) and Il man
(George) and his son Henry This wild
ow married the son, and the daughter
married the father. The widow was
therefore mother Gn law to her hus-
bands father and grandmother to her
own husbands By this husband she had
a son DAVID, to whom she was of course
Observation-Disclosures. Now, the son of
great-grandmother must be grandfather
or granduncle to the person to whom
his mother was or is great-grandmother
but in this instance Anne was great
grandmother to him DAVID, therefore
David could not be other than his own
grandfather.- Louis Republic.

Ceneral cran,,s caiol. perception.


One afternoon during the siege of Nicks-
burg General Grant came sauntering on
foot toward the naval battery on To-
gan's front.
The place was known as the shell
basket" from the number Of 10-inch NOR
tar shells dropped into the earth, which
exploded and raised clouds of dust that
obscured everything IN the vicinity for
some moments.
In this instance q few OF US had watch
ed the flight Of q shell, but the general
saw the bomb only the moment before it
struck, and it's windage threw him to
the ground. Tie was Unhurt, and con-
scious that time was precious before the
explosion he had rolled himself sufh-
GENTLY away to escape the shock, but not
the earthly shower-froIn the dust Of
which lie presently emerged, intently
considering an unlit cigar.
Logan" he said cheerily to that gen
eral, who in the full bloom Of clean
white shirt hastened to him, chow can
you keep so clean in such dusty placer
This escape was followed by another
few afternoons later, when a shell landed
by the front pole of the awning before
Logans tent, and eight generals, Grant
among them, rolled hastily out of the
shelter to meet uninjured when the dust
cleared away from the recent place OF
conference.-T. r. Davis in Cosmopoli

Tiger Skins Not Popular In One Family.

Mrs Richard Croker of New York
city tells some funny stories of her ex-
periences with people who have heard of
Tammany tigers. One day country
man came to the Crokers' Richfeld
Springs home to do some odd jobs. Mrs.
Croker noticed him peering around the
floors, and about the time she began to
grow suspicious of the man he asked:
"Where are the tigers?'
Tigers! What tigers:"
"Why, the folks around here say you
kept tigers all on the floor"
Mrs Croker had to smile, but earnestly
told him the tigers were out at pasture.
The man looked relieved. The fact of it
is tiger skin rugs are not popular in the
Croker mansions.-W Washington Post.

There is more catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies. and
by constantly failing to cure with To-
cal treatment, pronounced it incura-
bic. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by F. j. Cheney q Co., Tole-
