JUR CANDIDATES.
The Ticket Presented for Consid-
Grafton by the Republicans.

Rarely, if ever, has the republican
party in municipal organization pre-
scented a better ticket for the con-
s%ideration of the voters of the city
than in the present campaign. Clean,
etrong and standing forth for all that
means the betterment of the city and
insures its future. The voters can
make no mistake in voting this ticket
and voting it straight.
FOR MAYOR.
William H. Wray heads the ticket.
The republicans support this gentle
man for a second term to the Office
where be has distinguished himself
in his labors for the advancement of
the city's interests. He is an honor,
able, capable business man and the
city could do no better than place
this man back in the chair of the
chief executive of the city for an
other two years of the same sort of
administration that he has been CIV
ing the city.

FOR MAYOR
FOR TREASURER

One of the strongest men on the
ticket is Walter Campbell, who asks
that the people give him their votes
for a second term in the position of
city treasurer. The republicans could
have made no better selection for
this place on the ticket. Mr.. Camp
bell is a bright and progressive bus
mess man, a member of the grocery
firm of Campbell & Coke of High
avenue west. He has been in the
city since 1882 and fifteen years of
that time he has been in business for
himself and has been successful to
the extent that there r few people
In the city who do not know of the
Campbell & Coke grocery and the
name has gone all over the county.
MIR. Campbell took a public trust for
the first time in his business career
two years ago when he accepted the
nomination for city treasurer on the
republican ticket. He was elected
and has filled the position to the en-
tire satisfaction of all classes. He
has been b~usinesslike in all his meth
DDS of dealing with the duties de-
volving upon the position. The first
month after the gentleman took the
affairs of the position in charge ali
warrants were endorsed for the la
boring people but in the second
month the warrants were paid in
cash and it has been possible to so
treat the people who have had labor
bills against the city. Mr.. Campbell
richly merits a second term. He is
safe and reliable and the people are
generally pleased with his work and
will return him to the place by a
handsome majority. /.

Life Sentence Imposed on Woman
for the Murder Of Her
Husband.

New Haven, May 3.-The trial of
Ann Maria Rathbun, charged with
the murder of her husband, William
Rathbun, last December, closed to-
night with a verdict Of murder in
the second degree and the woman was
sentenced to life imprisonment.
Rathbun died from the effects of
poison which he drank in some coffee
prepared for John F. Hart, a boarder
at his house and his wife's paramour.
The evidence at the trial showed that
Mrs. RathDun intended that Hart
should drink the coffee as her jealousy
was aroused because Hart had trans
ferred his attentions to another wo-
man. By mistake the husband drank
the coffee instead.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Rathbun's
trial tonight, Hart, who has been
awaiting sentence on the charge of
having committed adultery with her.
was sentenced to two years and six
months in Jail

SHORTS ARE SCARED
Efforts to Recover Causes Panic
on Chicago Board
of Trade.

Chicago, May ga panic, the first
real n since Phillips cornered the
market, occurred among the shorts
in May corn on the board of trade
today. Fluctuations were the most
violent in years. Having seen their
losses grow heavier and heavier each
succeeding day for some time, the
traders who had guaranteed to deliver
May corn to Phillips made frantic eff
forts to get it. The price went from
55 cents to So cents, AZ cents high
er than yesterdays close, in a few
minutes.
For an hour the shorts bid SO cents,
or close to it. Then Phillips let out
600, 900 bushels at prices ranging be-
tween 81 cents and So cents. It was
thought for a moment that he was
about to unload, and the market broke
to SO cents without a check. The
drop disposed Of a number of "tailers.'
Under 81 cents, however, Phillips
sold nothing. In consequence prices
reacted sharply when the shorts real
lied that the end of the corner was
by no means at hand.

The market has been hit a hard
blow by the unfavorable reports from

British Coal Miners Divided on CUES.
ton Of Strike.

London, May 3.-There were scores
of meetings today in the coal districts
and there was evidence of the intense
interest in the tax question felt by
both miners and owners But the re-
suits of the conferences show the min
ers are by no means so unanimous as
expected in supporting a general
strike. Chairman Briggs of the joint
Cancellation board of the Yorkshire
miners, has issued a manifesto to the
men to the effect that, although he is
strongly opposed to the impost, he
considers it most unwise to take such
q grave step as stopping the collier

Several miners councils have issued

BIG CALIFORNIAN PUT OUT BY
SHARKEY.
ROUGH AND TUMBLE FIGHT
Little Science Displayed In Bout.
Much Clinching and Wild
Swings.

Denver, May 3.-Tom Sharkey and
Fred Russell, the California heavy
weight, met in the arena of the Colora-
do Athletic association here tonight
before an audience that taxed the
capacity of the club house. Both men
had trained fully for the past month,
and when they stepped into the ring,
appeared to be in perfect condition.
Sharkey was a prime favorite up to
the sound of the gong at odds of ~ to
/. with a LIBERAL amount of Russell
money in sight. Both men were
weighed at 6 o'clock and while no an
nouncement of the weights was made,
it can be said on good authority that
Sharkey tipped the beam at 1872 pounds
and Russell at POS pounds. Both men
were examined by the club physician
and pronounced strong and in perfect
health and fit to engage in the worst
kind of a rough and tumble fight.
The question Of referee was a bone
OF contention between the fighters up
to within an hour Of the beginning Of
the fight, but George English, the
official referee of the club, was finally
selected. The main objection to Eng
lish was his youth, he being not more
than of age, but his experience as an
official Of the club during the past year
Outweighed the argument against his
age, and he was finally chosen.
Both men were escorted by a num-
Der of notable ring men,. Tommy
Ryan acted as Sharkey's chief advis-
or.
In the first round there was very lit
tie leading by either. They clinched
and fought wildly and the referee
had the greatest difficulty in separat-
ing them
In the second round Russell tried
to throw Sharkey to the floor by main
strength and succeeded in doing so
several times. In the third rounu
Russell landed some good body blows,
which seemed to knock the breath out
OF the sailor. He was groggy at the
end of the round and if Russell had
bored in he might have won the fight
at that period
In the fourth round both men,
after having been warned by the
referee that they must fight and not
Wrestle, started out to obey his in
structions. 1t was not long, however,
until they were clinching and holding
and hanging to each otner with the
referee begging them to fight.
Sharkey broke away from a clinch
and as he did so landed a right and
left swings on Russell's jaw, putting
him down, n as Russell arose
Sharkey sent in the finishing touch,
q half swing on the jaw.
The bout was characterized by
rough and tumble tactics engaged in
by both, science playing but a very
little part. There was much clinch-
ing and rough work throughout, and
each lost chances by landing wild.

EASTMAN DEFENSE BEGUN
1ntimation That Prosecution Did
Not Show Real
Bullet.

Cambridge, Mass, May 3.-An ad-
verse decision on prosecullon's mo.
ton to introduce the defendants tes-
timony before the grand jury which
indicted him, brought the governments
case against Professor Eastman, the
Harvard instructor, charged with the
murder of his brother-inlaw, to a
sudden close this morning. Just be-
fore the defense could outline the
whole of it's cas- illness OF one of the
jurors made postponement necessary
until tomorrow. The case for the de-
tense was outlined only in part in
MI. Bartlet's opening address. He said
that the case was one of excusable
homicide, which occurred by reason
of the accidental discharge OF an old
rim-fire revolver.
Cambridge, Mass, May 4.-The de-
tense in the Eastman murder trial to-
day completed the outline of it's case
and during a half days session placed
four witnesses on the stand to sup
port it's contention that the relations
between the two men were not only
intimate but cordial. The interest Of
the day, however, was in the outline
made by Bartlett ana his explanation
of how the shooting occurred. Bart
let had not attempted an elaborate
explanation to combat the govern
ment theory that it was done by a
c%enter-fire bullet, except to say that
the bullet which was produced at the
trial, was, at the request of the de-
Tense, shown to a cartridge expert last
October, and that the expert placed
a private mark on the bullet which
cannot be found on that produced in
court.
Regarding what actually took place
between the two men, Bartlett said
Eastman was examining a rim
revolver when it suddenly explod-
ed and Grogan threw up his hands.
Eastman, supposing that Grogan had
been shot, went toward him and at the
time Grogan's revolver went off.
. struggle took place between the
two men, during which Grogan's re-
volver went off two or three times.
Eastman got hold Of the revolver and
threw it away.
