the government is behind them, and

CINCINNATI, Sept 4--What will per-

Avondale electric car No. GA was soon
packed with people, and Motorman
George Devine ran without incident
until he reached the grade mile long
that descends into the business por-

There were forty-fve persons in the

The car was smashed into splinters, as

MeMeNTos OF SHAKESPEARE.
A jug and Cane which Once Beio ng.d to
the Avon Hard.

So lamentably few and far between
are the authentic relics Of Shakespeare,
says London journal, that considera-
BILE interest will DO aroused In tho
minds Of all English speaking people
by the recent sale at Christie's OF two
apparently genuine mementos OF tho
poets of all time. One Is described as
"Shakespcare's Jug" IL il of cream
colored earthenware, nine inches high
and sixteen inches round the largest
part, and is somewhat In the shape of
modern coffee pot. IL Is divided
longitudinally into eight compart-
ments, each horizontally subdivided;
and within these subdivisions the prin-
cipal deities of the heather mythology
are represented Ia rather bold relief.
IL Is stated that at the beginning of
the present century silver top and
edging were added, with small medal
lion OF the poet, inscribed civilian

companying the Jug Is Malacca cano
In beautiful preservation, four feet
seven and half inches In length.
These two articles, II Is declared, were
bequeathed by the poet TO his sister

relies remain cd in possession OF tho
family until the first years Of the nine
teenth cen tury. No doubt an nccurato-
ly verified pedigree exists OF tho
changes OF hands, II any, which these
objects have undergone since they have
passed out OF the keeping Of the Hart
family or their desoe ndants. The bid
ding for the two articles started at the
small sum Of Ave guineas, and the bids
gradually advan ced TO one hundred

the Malacca cane were knocked down.
Assuming tho trustworthiness OF the
pedigree, the production OF which
would be absolutely indispensable, IL
would be difficult TO maintain that the

TROUBLES OVER.
So Far as This World Is Con-
cerned for DR.. Graves.
SUICIDE IN PRISON At DENVER.
lie Leaves n Letter Asserting His limo
cence OF the Murder OF Mrs. Bar-
naby and Assaiis the Pros
ecution.

DENVER, Col, Sept 4.-Dr. T. Thatch-
err Graves, the convicted poisoner of
Mrs Josephine Barnaby, committed
suicide in his cell at the county jail,
presumably by taking poison. He was
found stiff and cold in death by the
"trusty" who has been caring for him.
On his person was found the following
letter:
To the Coroner OF Denver;
DENvER, Col, Aug a-Dcar Sir: Please do
no not hold an autopsy on my remains The
cause Of death may be rendered rs folloNs'
"Died from persecution Worn out Eek
hausted Yours respectfully,
T. THATCHER GRAVES, NJ ID.
As Is well known, DR. Graves was in
prison awaiting his second trial for the
alleged murder of Mrs. Josephine Bar
naby, of Providence, who, at the time
Of her death, was visiting friends in
Denver. She died April 10, 1891. On
April she drank from n bottle OF
whisky that had come by mail from
Boston and that was labeled; "Wish
you happy New Year. Please accept
this fine old whisky from your friends
in the woods"
The whisky contained solution of
arsenic. DIR. Graves was accused Of
sending the bottle After one of the
most famous trials In the criminal an
nails of this country, DIR. Graves was
convicted of murder in the first degree
and was sentenced to be hanged. The
supreme court granted him new trial,
which was TO have begun the latter
part Of this month.
Mrs. Graves, wife of the doctor, was
informed OF her husbands death short
ly before noon. She was at the house
OF Attorney Thomas Macon, who has
so ably defended her husband, where
she has been stopping for some time
past. The poor woman was deeply af-
fected by the news, and for time no
body could comfort her. The absence
of Mr.. Macon, who is in Canon City,
was much regretted Mrs. Macon
| did what she could for the afflicted
woman, and Mrs. Graves finally re-
gained her composure and expressed a
wish TO her husbands remains
Accompanied by Mrs. Macon she hur'
ried 10 the Jail only TO find that the
body had been taken TO the coroner's
office The news OF the removal of the

and the poor woman sat in u daze foI
some time Then she was led TO the
apartments of Jailer Crews, where she
remained for some time, moaning and
crying Later Mrs. Graves returned Il
Judge Macon's home without going u
the coroners office.
Among the letters left by the doctor
was one directed TO his wife, n very
lengthy one, and another addressed &c
the public. The latter was long ap
peal and an assertion of his innocence
with bitter remarks on "IIxey Stevens,
the prosecuting attorney.
