MURDER on +. l.. GRAvES'S PLACE.
COachman Found In the stable With the
Top OF His Head Blown on.

WHITE PLAINS, june 27.-Unusual mys-
terry surrounds the murder in broad day
light Of James McKeon, coachman for
Frank l.. Graves, a New York broker and
a member of the Stock Exchange, who
was found early this afternoon with the
top of his head blown of in his room IN
the main stable on the Graves country
seat. Rock Hill, Hartsdale, on the outskirts
Of White Plains.
Coroner Frank E.. Russell and Sheriff
James s. Merritt, with a corps of deputies,
rushed to the scene in an automobile, and it
is believed that they have a clue to the
assassin. According TO information fur
nished to Sheriff Merritt m Under Sheriff
Charles NJ. Lane, the crime was the result
of jealousy over a servant in the Graves
home.
residents Of Hartsdale, and McKe IN had
been working for him only two months.
McKeon's body was found in his room in
the stable by Edward Quinn, a stable boy,
who went to call him for lunch. The muir
derer had used an old fashioned musket
and the charge Of shot tore of the entire
top of McKeon's head. From the position
q the body Coroner Russell believes that
McKeon was either sitting up or sleeping
when the charge. was fired at him. The
musket was found behind the door leading
into the room. The murder was not COM
mitted for robbery, as McKeon's watch and
money were found in his clothing;
Sheriff Merritt, as soon as he heard OF
the murder, took Deputies William Law
renee, Joseph Dormaren and Detective
Eugene Fee to the estate, and after a
thorough investigation Coroner Russell de-
cided to hold Edward Berry, a former
ooachman, as a witness.
50 far as can be learned no one heard
as most myste rious, as at least four servant
are employed on the place. AT the time
the crime was committed Mr.. and Mrs.
Graves were in Manhattan.

carriers to compete in carrying commodi-
ties with producers along their lines.
The amendment proposed by Senator
Piles, which exempts lumber carrying rail-
roads from the provisions Of the commodity
amendment, will remain in the bill. 1t has
been the subject of many v~icissitudes. 1t
out by the first}conference, restored by the
second conference and has been a subject Of
warm debate in the last conference.
The amendment f%orbidding the issue OF
free passes or free transportation has been
redrafted. 1t forbids the issue Of all free
transportation except to railroad en-
ployees and their families, to certain Gov
eminent officers who are required to travel
on official business, each of these to be
issued only upon the requisition OF the head
Of the department to which the Govern
ment employee is attached and to INDECENT
persons and caretakers of live stock or fruit
n transit.
Senator'S. Representatives., judges and
Federal officers, except those mentioned
as excepted. are forbidden to accept free
transportation. Under the amendment be-
fore it was redrafted only certain limited
classes were excepted. By the redrafted
provision a railroad is forbidden to issue
enumerated, and the acceptance Of a
pass by any person outside the classes of
those excepted is made a punishable offence.

HAMM cry Is NAMED.
But Says He viii Not Run For Gov
ernor on populist Ticket.

Des Moines. J. l.. Ham.
merry of Des Moines was nominated
for governor by the peoples party Of
Iowa at the state convention Of that
organization held at the Iowa hotel
on the 18th. The alderman insists,
however, that he will not be the
party's candidate.
The convention was well attended.
A large number of representatives OF
organized labor and members Of the
Independence league co-operated with
the populists in the gathering. The
achievements &c Mr.. Hammery in
fighting to purify the city of Des
Moines had appealed strongly to the
delegates and when his name was pro-
posed it was greeted with genuine en-
thusiasm.
The peoples party congratulates It.
self upon the allegation that many
of its tenets are rapidly being adopted
in our governmental activities by the
old parties in power. The populists,
on the other hand, have no use Tor
of that doctrine to debate on the rela.
tive tenets of the two faiths.
One Of the features of the conven'
ton was the absence Of the Hon. l..
H. Weller Of Nashua, dubbed by the
republicans many years ago as Gal.
amity' Weller Mr.. Weller is very
sick at his lone in Nashua. His pop
ulist compatriots sent him message
of good cheer in the form of NOM
ination for supreme Judge. He is still
on his $40 acre farm near Nashua, in
Chickasaw county. He has expended
more than $4,000 in the cause Of pop
ulism in the last twelve years and in
other ways has shown his faith in the
principles of that organization.

The Aoe Of Lead.

We are wont to speak Of this era
as the "age Of iron," and there Is no
gainsaying that, indus irially speaking,
iron is precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, If not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, it is, not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such prominent
place in the Hrts and industries.
Modern plumbing requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints would be almost impos.
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
"slugs," monotype type - all are
made of compositions of which lead
IS the chief component-to say moth
ing Of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt' metal is used
Solder is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty - inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many Of us thank metallic lead
e. 1,~ Of int or f6n
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to white
powder known as white lead" or
course. there are many limitations of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are Just as good" as
white lead But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
Red lead" is another product Of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead Is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, etc, which are es-
sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
as we'll as of iron. -

His Scheme Worked.

1t Is related that a certain man was
recently very sad because his vie
had gone out of town on visit,
which sh would not shorten in spite
of his appeals to her to come home
He finally hit upon a plan to induce
her to return. He sent her a copy Of
each of the local papers with one item
clipped out. and when she wrote to
find out what it was he had clipped
out he refused to tell her.
The scheme worked admirably! In
less than a week she was home to
find out what it was that had been
going on that her husband didn't want
her to know about.-Pittsburg Press
