MURDERED WOMAN'S ESTATE.
DIR. Graves Widow Wants $4,000
From Mrs. Barnaby,s Heirs.


PROVIDENCE, r. l., Oct. 25, 1894.-The
estate af Mrs. Josephine A. Barnaby, mur-
dered in Denver, Colo, and for which
crime Dr. Thomas Thatcher Graves of
This city was once convicted, has been
inventoried at $S6,347. Over $4,000 is
personal property, largely the securities
which DR.. Graves purchased for Mrs.
Barnaby in Boston and later turned over
TO a Providence lawyer upon demand of
the Barnaby heirs. Custodian Edwards
filled his report in the Probate Court yes
terday.
The account includes nearly 100 items a
major portion of which are railroad and
other coupons, estimated at from $40 to
800, and gains on sales of Mrs. Barnaby's
iewelry, including pair of cluster dia-
mond earrings, So two rings, one pair
of earrings, silver watch, diamond cross,
etc., $15.
The account also shows the debts
against the estate to be $10,O93, which in
cludes taxes in the City of Providence
for 1893 of 81, ,136, funeral expenses and
attorneys fees in appeal from probate of
will.
DR.. Graves was beneficiary under Mrs.
Barnaby's last will for $4,000, and his
widow, now in Hartford, claims through
her attorneys here the benefit hereof.
Just before Mrs. Barnaby's death in
Denver she had jewels and diamonds
valued at several thousand dollars, but
in some mysterious way the costly gems
were exchanged for worthless glass and
paste brillants. When the estate was
turned over to Custodian Edwards this
deception was discovered. The settings
were then sold off as old gold. No per-
son has ever accounted for the real dia-
monds, but they were deftly manipulated
after her death by some person.

A REGULAR "OLD sLEUTHp.
Detectfve Quinn OF HOboken, Hunt
i1noc In I.rnsfz yaNxrr1a

ing Burglars, Arrests Two Boys.
Two shockheaded little urchihs, Gussie
and Harry Holzappel, one ten and the
other nine years of age, were brought
before Judge Hudspeth this morning on
a charge of petit larceny. They had
stolen can of mackeraI from Hugh
shaw's grocery store on Washington
street, Hoboken, and that gentleman
and Detective Quinn were determined
to do all they could to land the mother
less street arabs in jail They dragged
the little fellows before Recorder Dog
berry McDonough who in spasmodic
fit of indignation committed them for
trial.
Burglaries had been frequent in Ho-
boken and Quinn was detailed to To-
cate the burglars. He couldn't catch
the big cracksmen, but managed after a
wonderful display of detective knowledge
to nab little Gussie and Harry Hoiz-
appel.
Hudspeth, straining his neck to see the
heads Of the small offenders, what
are these children here for?"
'These are bad boys" said Detective
Quinn, and hadn't been home for week
Il don't wonder said Judge Rud-
speth, in a dsquseted tone, ''since their
father doesn't look after them and has
never been to see them even while in
Jail. Ii is entirely the fault of the faith
er's training
Quinn and Grocer Shaw tried to make
out that the little ones were. great, big,
dangerous thieves who would steal Ho-
boken if they could get a chance, but
the court waved them aside and ordered
the boys back for further considera-
ton.
They are not among the other pris-
oners?" Judge Hudspeth asked Of War
den Mitchell. That official had thought
fully kept them apart from the rowdy
prisoners and from his table supplied the
little fellows with food.

his identity to the hospital authorities.
When he left home last night to attend
he dinner he had about $25 in money
and a gold watch IN his pocket, but
when he was brought to the hospital

SUING THE TRACTION COMPANY.
VoIke,t's Injuries Give Him Queer
DeIusiOns Regarding His Fingers.

Another suit for damages against the
Consolidated Traction Company was
heard this morning before Justice Lip
pincott and jury. 1t was that of Albert
Volkert, of No. 996 First avenue, New
York. driver for Henry Eggers, of No.
666 Hudson street, New York, who was
driving down Grand street, this city,
some months ago, when motor car No
S7s ran into him, smashed the wagon
into kindling wood, injured the horse,
and knocked Volkert senseless. He was
removed to the hospital, where he re-
mained for two months. He asks $4,000
damages.
you say that you were injured in
the head?" said ex-Judge Garretson, in
DISCRIMINATION; "how does it affect
your;
"I get easily oxcited und see double, :"
was the reply.
Witness, to the amusement of the
Court, said that when he looked at his
finger, he saw two fingers but if he
looked at two fingers there was only one,
an optical delusion which he was at q
loss to explain. Someone remarked that
this delusion was valuable in taking a
drink.
The defence of the Traction Company
was that the accident resulted from
Volkert's carelessness. Evidence was
given by several doctors, who denied that
his injuries were as severe as he made
them out to be. The case will occupy
the entire day.

NEW YORK, Oct. %. 1S94.-This is the
last day of Senator Hills present visit
10 this city After speaking this after
noon in Long Island City, this evening
at Cooper Union, and spending the night
at the Park Avenue Hotel, he will take
the Empire State express tomorrow
morning for Oswego He will speak
there tomorrow night, at Watertown on
Saturday night, and then return to AL
bany, where he will spend Sunday. That
the Senator's visit has not been so sue
cessful as was hoped it not denied Thus
far there has been no harmony accom-
plished in the local Congressional situ-
alton, and it is scarcely possible that
there can be now.
The idea of harmony has been so far
abandoned that talk was turned to other
subjects at State Headquarters today.
Senator Hill himself said this morning,
when asked what the outlook was, that
the harmony question was still uncer
tain He made the remark in such a
way as to leave no doubt Of what the
Senator's real sentiments were.
1t is, moreover, an open question
whether the declinations filed today
would be legal. Many contend that the
time really expired last night. But how
ever that may be, it is practically GER
tain that there wifi be no harmony.

The Lafayette Democratic Club had a
mass meeting In the Wigwanl, Lafayette
| street, last night to ratify the regular
Democratic nominations. Before the
meeting there was display OF fireworks.
The hall was comfortably filled, notwith-
standing the fact that the weather was
extremely disagreeable. DR.. M. Lampson
was Chairman of the meeting. Colonel
Edwin A. Stevens, the candidate for Con-
gress was the first speaker. He said that
the indications were that there would be
an overwhelming Democratic victory this
fall He spoke for "a few minutes upon
the tariff and closed with short sketch
of the candidates.
Mr.. Thomas Jacob, candidate for the,
Assembly, made the principal speech OF
the evening. He talked on National and
State issues and showed that the So
called reforms promised by the Republi-
can party are promises and nothing more.
He made a strong appeal to the voters
present to support the Democratic ticket
this fall and get the reform they SO much
desire.
Michael J.O'Donnell, candidate for Coun-
ty Clerk in a few words asked for the
support of Lafayette Democrats. He
said:-"The duties of the office of County
Clerk are simply clerical. l was EN-
ployed there for several years and am
thoroughly familiar with those duties.
Mr. Fisher is a thorough accountant and
clerk and / would not say anything

however, that the County Clerks office
cannot be run without Mr.. Fisher.

lated the following resolutions, which will
be submitted at a convention to be held
soon, and which, without doubt, will be
unanimously adopted:--
a. Our party will vote for whatever
appropriations of money may be neces-
sary to carry the present war to such a
termination as shall serve to chastise
China and to secure permanent peace
for the Orient.
(2) Since it would only invite future
calamities to patch up temporary peace,
our party Will resolutely resist the ac-
ceptance of any proposal for peace made
before the vital objects of the war have
been attained.
(3) Since it is of essential Importance
that the whole nation should be united
in order to achieve the vital objects of
the war our party will for the moment
desist from any criticism of the Cabi-
nets errors, and will apply our whole
strength in the field of foreign politics.
In addition to the above resolutions the
meeting will be asked to pass an address
OF congratulation TO the Sovereign and a
vote of thanks to the army and navy
for the victories hitherto achieved.

CRANK FOR GROVER
Calls at DR.. Bryant's House
On Business of National
Importance.
WELL DRESSED AND PERSISTENT
The President Has Not Yet Said
a Word About Hills
Campaign.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25 lS94-A crank, and
one of note, called this morning at the
residence of Or. Joseph d. Bryant, No.
81 West Thirty sixth street, where Presi-
dent Cleveland is stopping, and de-
manded to see the President. The mans S
name is Richard Roeder and his home
is given as No. Ala West Fifty-seventh
street. Roeder is the same crank who,
some years ago, wrote to Emperor Will
liam of Germany challenging him to a
duel.
Roeder went up to DR.. Bryant's house
about nine O'Clock He rang the door
bell violently and when the butler re-
sponded, demanded to see the President
The butler told him quietly but firmly
that the President could not be SEEN
but it is business of extreme i'm
portance," insisted the crank.
This brought DR.. Bryant to the door.
The doctor has smooth and determin-
ed way that this morning stood him
in good stead. He reasoned with crank
Roeder and told him that it was impos-
sible to see the President at that hour
Roeder was finally argued into going
away
Roeder is a man of middle age and
was we'll dressed. He is wiry indfvid-
ual and talks nervously That Presi-
dent Cleveland is not surrounded by
throng of private detectives is shown by
the episode of the morning None of
them were in evidence at the time of
Crank Roeder's arrival. Mr.. Roeder
could not be seen after the time he left
DR.. Bryant's house.
DR.. Bryant said this morning that
President Cleveland would remain at his
home until three O'Clock this afternoon,
when he would take the train for Wash
ington The doctor did not know
whether or not the President would come
back TO register.
No endorsement of Senator Hills can
didacy has so far been received at
Democratic State headquarters from
President Cleveland. If it is dependent
uoon the settlement of the Congressional
difficulty, it may never come. Senator
Faulknes left for Washington today, ap-
parently satisfied that his work for re-
conciIiation had amounted to nothing
Vice President Stevenson is expected
in the city about five O'Clock this after
noon. He will be entertained at the

THE DOUBLE BJEoFMBNT SUIT.

The famous Greenville double-barrelled
ejectment suit of Saloonkeeper Edinger
against Deacon Reid and Reid against
EIdinger, are set down for trial next
week before Justice Lippincott, and the
testimony will give the Celery districts

Edinger claims that Reids stable is on
a portion of his land and Reid insists
that a portion of Edinger's bowling alley
rests on his, Reid's, estate.
Between them for a year at least there

were slips, Louisiana and Honduras

All these details were evidence in the
trial of Michael Brown, one of those

of policy was lamentable.

From the witnesses testimony it was
evident he was trying to get square with

time he laughed cynically at Michael

Palmer Campbell, President of the
Campbell Stores, Hoboken, yesterday ap-
peared before Recorder McDonough and
had warrants issued for the arrest of
William Dreyfus, druggist at Fourth

a late employe of the Campbell Stores.
The warrants stated that on October 5
Reynolds smuggled quantity of cocaine
from the docks and sold it to Dreyfus,
and that Dreyfus knew at the time the
cocaine was stolen. Dreyfus is
we'll known druggist and has several
stores in Hoboken. When it was rumor-
ed that he was to be arrested for re-
ceiving stolen goods his friends were
greatly surprised.
Reynolds was arrested at the time of
the supposed theft. but the evidence
then was not sufficient to warrant his
being held and he was discharged.
Since then, however, Mr.. Campbell has
secured the necessary evidence, and
Reynolds will be rearrested. Detective
Quinn of Police Headquarters has been
