DR.. GRAVES SUICIDES.

The Alleged Murderer of Mrs. Barnaby
Ends His Troubles I'm the Denver Jail
Asserts His Innocence.
DENVER, Col, Sept. 5.-Dr. T. Thatch-
er 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-Dear Sir: Please do
no not hold an autopsy on my remains The
cause Of death may be rendered as follows:
''Died from persecution. Worn out Ex-
hausted Yours respectfully,
T. THATCHER GRAVES NJ D.
AS is well known, DIR. Graves was in
prison awaiting his second trial for the
alleged murder of Mrs. Josephine Bar
naby, of Prov idence, who. at the time
of her death, was visiting friends in
Denver. She died April 10, 1891. On
April she drank from 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
Among the letters left by the doctor
was one directed to his wife, a very
lengthy one. and another addressed to
the public. The latter was a long ap-
peal and an assertion of his innocence,
with bitter remarks on ''Ikey Stevens"
the prosecuting attorney.

Many Claimants Will BE Benefited Who
Were Formerly Denied.
WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-Commissioner
Lochren of the pension bureau has is
sued an order withdrawing that of
June IL. 1898, rating cases under the
act of June %, 1890. The order reads:
Hereafter, in affixing rates under this
act, the medical referee or the medical
officer in the board of revision shall
weigh each disability and determine the
degree that each liability or the COM
bined disa bilities disables the claimant
from earning support by manual
labor and a rate corresponding to this
degree shall be allowed. In cases in
which the pensioner has reached the
age of IS. his rate shall not be dis
turbed if he is receiving the maximum
for senility alone, if there DO special
pensionable disa bilities shown"
This order will benefit many claim
ants who have been denied ratings I'M
der the former practice. Under the
new order the contributory causes of
disability causing mental or a phys
ical incapacity to earn support by man
ual labor are taken into account

DIED AT HIS POST.
An Express Messenger Killed In
Defending His Trust.
A Frisco Train Held Up at Mound Valley,
Kan.-Messenger Chapman Killed and
the Passengers Robbed-Puf-
suit Of the Gang.

PARSONS, Kan, Sept 5.-One Of the
boldest and most daring train rob
. berries that has ever occurred in Kansas
took place at Mound Valley, twelve
miles south of this city, at 500 o'clock
yesterday morning.
The western express on the Frisco
was boarded by three men. just as it
entered the station. The engineer and
firemen were covered by one of the rob-
beers, while the other two made for the
express car. They demanded that
the door of the car be opened.
The messenger refused to comply
with their demands. and they COM
menced to fire into the car, in the hope
of frightening him into opening the
door. The plucky messenger returned
the fire and three shots We're exchanged,
when he was heard to cry out, II am
killed"
The lull in the shots from the express
car caused the robbers to pry open the
door, when they found that the cry was
no ruse, but a reality.
They then took the train and ran it
about half mile from the station, when
they proceeded to go through the pas
sengers. The firing into the express
car had awakened many of the passen-
gers, while others were awakened from
their slumbers to find themselves look
ing down the barrel of Winchester in
the hands of bold bandit. The pas
sengers were frightened out of their
senses and dumped the contents of
their purses and pockets into big
sack which one of the robbers carried.
The robbers secured nearly 5000 in
money and a collection of eight or ten
gold watches, together with a lot of
wearing apparel Two of the robbers
were masked. The robber who was
not masked was about 25 years of age,
five feet nine inches in height, weight
about 140 pounds and wore black
mustache with hair shade darker
than mustache, and showed Indian
blood in his veins.
The name of the dead messenger was
Charles Chapman, and his home was at
Joplin, Mo. The robbers are sup
posed to be the same three men who
robbed the Santa Fe depot at indie
pendence, Kan, last Friday night.
The holdup has caused intense eN-
element and an armed posse is now in
pursuit of the robbers. The news of
the robbery soon spread and the people
of Mound Valley turned out of their
beds only to find the robbers gone. No
money was secured from the express
car, for, with the messenger dead, the
robbers were unable to open the safe.

SIMPLY HORRIBLE.

Result OF tho Late Hurricane ON the
Southeastern Coast - The List of the
Dead Growing to an Appalling Masni-
tude.
BEAUFORT, S. c., Sept. "A CORE
spondent at Port Royal island sends
the first detailed account of the great
cyclone which visited that island last
week and killed over 800 persons
The storm reached its height about
8 o'clock Monday morning. At that
hour the water was feet deep in the
ma jority of the houses, the wind was
blowing at the rate of more than a
hundred miles an hour, giant trees
were being uprooted and the lagoons
We're filed with tossing debris. Be-
tween the hours of and on Mon
day occurred the greatest loss of life.
Whole families were wiped out of eX-
istence. One aged couple, with their
16 children, occupied small farm
on st. Helena island. Some of the
children were full grown. The father
of the family was in Beaufort to-day
narrating the sad fate that he was left
alone. The waters had swall lowed up
his wife and children.
There was a pastoral population of
about $4,000 scattered over wide area,
with numerous deep channels separat-
ing them from the main land. The
hurricane deposited handreds of its
dead miles from the spot where their
lives were lost. Only yesterday four
bodies were washed up by the tide back
of Beaufort. None of the many negroes
who viewed them could recognize them.
They were buried and their identity
