when the next roar from the other end

with a horribly weak joke, which passed
with only half laugh from the chorus
who were anxious to hear what Gilbert
was saying to convulse Carr.
Gilbert leaned over to his companion
and whispered; ats been a beastll

to threaten apoplexy, and Burnand wa

Preparation

1t is natural logic to conclude
that if WAMPoLE's PREPARATION

The Curious Bany.n Tree.

Botanists long ago voted the banyan
tree of India a place in the catalogue
of wonderful vegetable production In
its infancy it resembles other trees in
having a single stem or trunk and a
dense head of foliage. AS the tree in
creases in size, however, the branche g
spread out horizontally to such won
drous extent that they would be un-
able to support themselves had not.
nature come to the rescue with a re-
markable provision: To supply the
necessary support the branches of the
parent stem throw out here and there
small fbrous shoots, which Immediate
ly begin growing downward towards
the earth. In a surprisingly short time
they reach the ground and take root,
and gradually increase in size until
they sometimes rival the original trunk
itself This new trunk, with its numer-
Gus tbrous roots. renews the whole life
of the tree, other new limbs and shoots
are rapidly thrown out until finally
what was originally single tree trunk
becomes considerable forest, each
limb and shoot of which are curiously
connected. DIR. Roxburgh, the great
East Indian traveller, says that he has
seen forests thousand yards in diane
ter which had all grown from one
parent stem.-St. Louis Republic.

BRAVELY DIED.
An Express Messenger Killed in
Defending His Trust.
A FRISCO TRAIN HELD UP.
The Robbers Unable to Get Into the
Safe Because of the Messengers
Death-They Piliage the
Passengers.

PARSONS, Kan, Sept. 4.--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 $50 o'clock
yesterday morning.
The western express on the Frisco
was boarded by three men, just as it
entered the station. The engineer and
fremen were covered by one of the rob-
bers, 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 were exchanged,
when he was heard to cry out, IL am
killed"
The luli 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 II reality.
They then took the train and ran e
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 Il Winchester in
the hands of y bold bandit. The pas
sengers were frightened out of their
senses and dumped the contents of
their purses and pockets into a big
sack which one of the robbers carried.
The robbers secured nearly 500 in
money and collection of eight or ten
gold watches, together with lot of
wearing apparel. Two OF the robbers
were masked. The robber who was
not masked was about % years of age,
five feet nine inches in height, weight
about 149 pounds and wore a black
mustache with hair Il shade darker
than mustache, and showed Indian
blood in his veins.
The name of the dead messenger was
William Chitman, and his home was at
Springfield, 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 ex-
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 una BILE to open the safe.

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

letter:
To the Coroner OF Denver:

cause OF death may be rendered follows:

hausted Yours respectfully,
T. THATCHER GRAVES. NJ d.
As is well known, DIR. Graves was ir
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 a 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
mails of this country. DIR. 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 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 to the Jail only to find that the
body had been taken to the coroner's
office The news of the removal of the
remains caused another affecting scene.
and the poor woman sat in a daze for
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 to
Judge Macon's home without going to
the coroner's Office.
Among the letters left by the doctor
was one directed to his wife, very
lengthy one, and another addressed to
the public. The latter was long APP
peal and an assertion of his innocence,
with bitter remarks on Likely Stevens, ;"
the prosecuting attorney.

DASHED TO DEATH.
Frightful Accident on Cincinnati Eiec
trio Railway.

Uric halWay.
CINCINNATI. Sept What will per-
haps prove the most disastrous street
car accident that ever happened took
place in this city last evening. An
electric car dashed down Il hill at
frightful speed, left the track, broke Il
telegraph pole and shot into saloon,
wreclxing both itself and the structure
it struck. As result of the collision
two persons are dead, six are injured
beyond recovery and nearly forty more
are hurt many of them dangerously.
1t was soon after the Edna park Sun
| day afternoon concert had closed, and
the nightly open-air audience as usual
made rush for the cars down town. :"
Avondale electric car No. 644 was soon
packed with people. and Motorman
George Devine ran without incident
that descends into the business por-
ton of the city.
Suddenly the brake became unman-
ageable and the heavy car began to de-
scend with speed. Conductor Smith
ran to his comrades assistance, but the
| brake was obstinate and the two men
turned their attention to the frightened
passengers BY persuasion and force
the inmates were kept in their seats,
while the car, now swaying to and fro,
ssot down the hill with awful velocity
until. reaching the intersection of Hunt
and broadway, it left the track and,
smashing a telegraph pole which stood
in its path into two pieces, plunged in
to the saloon of George Schmidt at 351
Broadway.
There were forty-fve persons in the
ear, and not one of them escaped iu-
jury. The motorman and conductor
jumped just before the car struck the
pole, and thus escaped a horrible death.
The car was smashed into splinters, as
was the front of the saloon and the bar,
and from the debris at once arose
agonizing cries and means that told
those within hearing that terrible &C
cident had occurred.
Six patrol wagons were upon the
scene within few minutes, and the
Head and dying were quickly trans
ferred to the city hospital, where the
entire medical staff was soon busily en-
gagged in rendering such assistance as
was in their power.
