county Jail about 0 o'clock this tnornlnp ,
where ho was awaiting ft rehearing on the
chargrt of havlnfi poisoned Mrs. Josophluo
Barnaby , ft wealthy widow , also of Provi
dence. The poisoning Is said to have boon
done to cover up Dr. Graves' alleged defalca
tions as manager ol Mrs. Barnaby's cstalo.
Although no autopsy has yet boon hold on
his body , It Is known that the doctor took
ilsown llfo , using morphine to effect this
end.

> A satchel was found In the doctor's cell
containing five letters , Iho first being dated
on August U last , showing that his suicide
had been contomplatcdslnco then. The foiye
lowing is , the first letter opened :
"Dlotl from t'ornncutlim. "
"Dp.Nvnn , Aug. 0,18(13. ( To the Coroner of
Denver , Colo. Dear Slri "Please do not hold
nn autopsy on my remains. The cause of
death may bo rendered as follows : -Died
front persecution. Worn out. Exhausted. '
Yours truly ,
"T. TiiATCiip.it GiiAvr.s. M. D. "
Tlio next loiter is directed to Captain
Crows , the Jailer of Iho county Jail , und Is
full of bitterness against County Atlornoy I.
N. Slovens , who secured Dr. Graves' con
viction In Iho first trial and has been work
ing hard to again have the doctor convicted.
It Is as follows :
"August 25 , ISM. It would keep ft man
busy to follow Stevens nnd answer the lies
which ho unblushingly peddles out to the
papers. One or two , however , need atten
tion ana they nro easily proven to bo lies. I

Medical society , aUo the Connecticut State
Medical society.
"I never made application to the Rhode
Island State Medical society for admission ,
"My lawyers have the full receipts , showno
Ing that 1 never wronged the cstalo of 'Mrs.
Barnaby and the estate now owes mo outpr
side of the legacy by will. The public see
what I have to expect from the villainous ,
cowardly falsehoods of Stevens. I cannot
expend more money lighting him. 1 must
take the only means to save It for my wife
and dour , honored , aged mother.
"T. TIIACKBH GIIAVES. "
Notwithstanding tno above letter , Captain
Crovys , In nn Interview , indignantly denies
that Dr. Graves committed suicide. Ho says
thill the doctor died of a broken heart , and ,
to use the captain's ' word's , "was murdered
'by thp attorneys for the state , who have
harrasscd thu old man to death. "
The three other letters wnro to Mrs.
Graves , the county commissioners and a
lengthy one addressed to the public. The
ones addressed to Mrs , Graves and the
commissioners have not yet been given out.
The one to the public is quite lengthy uud is
as follows :
III * Letter to the Public.
"Con.NTY JAII , . DENVER , Colo. . Aug. 6.
To the Public : In the spring of 18011 made
a trip to Denver , actuated by a desire" tot
appear-before the grand jury to do all in my
power to lisslst In solving the Barnaby mur
der mystery.
'Arriving in Denver , my lawyers refused to
allow mo to go before the grand Jury. I soon
found myself indicted lor murder. Sur
prised , astonished , I said to my lawyers : ' ifT
course it cannot amount to anything , for
truly I had nothing to do with the death of
Mrs. Barnaby.1
"I litllo dreamed what xvas n store for mo.
I did not know what can bo accomplished by
political Influence , with money and u man to
'play the prince' with his wife's money. The

young , leading politician , ambitious , full
of devilish schemes und cunning , a man whenever
never has hesitated to do any kind of dirty
work to advance himself and who was sur
rounded by the vilest men in the west , f'O fs
his tools. At the
trial which followed wo
found everything completely and absolutely
under his control , the reporters , the bailiffs ,
the court ofllcials ( except the clerk of the
court ) , the deputies , the 'honorable1 judge [
and the jury. Since the trial wo have
lorrnod that no mtin was put on the jury ron

"Promises of political preferment nnd

"Forty years ago a man named Pernn , in
Connecticut and my father had some trouble
over some land. The son worked himself
onto the Jury and paid the old debt In full
after the usual manner of such men. This
wo did not know until long after the trial.
I am Informed that since thu trial some of
the jurors have received political appoint
ments from Stevens , and snmo nro profes
sional jurors , gelling on tlio the jury encases
cases wh/oro ho always wins his caso. These
things nro wall known in Denver.
"What possible clmnco did a stranger
stand against Stevens , backed by such n
Judge and purchasable jury ? Conrad boasted
that ho expended fOS.OOO among detectives ,
, witnesses , Judge nnd Jury. Ho always
omitted to remark that the money belonged
to his wife , and that ho was playing fora
(100.000 stake.
"Thu uupromo court of Colorado In the
most emphatic , scathing and bitter words
pronounced the trial unfair , unjust und
illegal , and ordered 11 now trial. My law
yers have proot , , found sltico the trial , that .
(2,500 wus paid out to only ono witness.
"They have the affidavits of numerous
men that they were 'sounded' ' as to whether ,

they would favor Stevens , und this was y.no
by Stevens' bailiffs.

what eun they do with this octopus ?
"At the present writing Stevens has pone

Mrs. Graves was informed of her husband's
death shortly before noon and for a time was
almost crazed with grief. When she re
gained her composure she went to the county
jail , but the dead body had been rcmoVcd to
the coroner's oflico ,
The sight of the cell so agitated her that
the friends of Mrs. Graves decided it woula
not bo best for her to view the doctor's remains -
mains nt present. She then returned to her
homo ana is now oeing cared fo1by sympa-
thlzing friends.
Notwithstanding Dr. Graves' request that
no autopsy bo held upon his body n rigid In
vestigation : into the cause of his death will
take place tonight.
As is well known , Dr. Graves was in prison
awaiting his scvoud trial for the alleged
murder of Mrs. Josephine Barnaby of Provi
dence , who , at the tlmo of her death was
visiting friends In Denver. She died April
18. 1831. On April 0 she drank from a bottle
of whisky that bad come by mall from Bos
ton and which was labeled , "Wish you n
happy Now Year. * Please aecobt this fine
old whisky from your friends In the woods. "
The whisky contained a solution of
arsonlo. Dr. Graves was accused of sending
the .bottle. After one of the most famous
trials in the criminal unnals of the country ,
Dr'Graves was convicted of murder in tlio
lirst degree and was .sentenced to bo hanged.
The supreme court granted him a now trial ,
which was to huvo begun the latter part of
this mouth.

On August 9 of this year Commissioner
Twombly \ and County Attorney Slovens vis
ited Hhode Island and otncr places m search
of noiv evidence , the coUnty of Arapahoe
having objected to paying the expenses of anew
now trial in the doctor's case unless
stronger odd more direct testimony could be
produced to shoxv that Dr. Graves was I
guilty. Messrs. Twombly and Stevens re
turned u short time ago , und although It is
not known what they discovered on their
eastern trip , it Is a significant fact that at a
meeting of the county board yesterday $3,000
was , appropriated to prosecute the doctor
again on the charge of murder.
Dr. Graves , bnforo his death , said that ho
wus penniless ana thought it no more than
rlffht that if the county paid the costs of his
prosecution it should also be willing to ap
propriate enough to enable him to defend
himself. Ho had. not , however , made any
such request and of course it cannot now bo
said how it would have been answered by
the commissioners.
Yesterday's decision of the county board
to prosecute him undoubtedly prompted the
dt-nd man to put into effect bis idea of sui
cide , which it Is plain ho had been con
templating for some time.
Hon. Thomas M. Macon , the attorney who
defended Dr. Graves during- his trial , and
has stood by him since , is out of the city uud

city is ono muss of color , and the residences
on all the principal streets nro festooned
with splendid displays of the national colors ,
The soldiers' and sailors' monument and
some of the business houses have utilised !
electricity In decoration to an extent seldom
attempted. At the capital grounds there
will bo striking displays of natural gas

WASHINGTON. Sept . 3.1
It now seems almost uortiln that soon
after . . . the silver purchasing law Is repealed
some important financial legislation will bo
enacted by congress. The house committee
on banking and currency will , during the
next two weeks , spend most of Its time In
the work of devising a plan for nn enlarge
ment of the volume of currency which will I
moot the increase of population. It will also
try to adopt nn amendment to the bill of
Mr. . Johnson of Ohio , which provides for an
issue of 00,000,003 of % M per cent bonds ,
exchangeable for currency at any time , so
that the holders of the bonds cannot
drain the government's gold supply. The
amendment , which will likely bo adopted ,
will provide that the money borrowed from
the government may bo paid to the bor
rower In coin or treasury notes or any cur
rency based upon the government's credit.
Thus the government can never bo forced to
repudiate its pledges or become embar
rassed. The bill is regarded as having a
most excellent suggestion , being Intended to
nvort a repetition of recent events in bank
ing circles when currency Is at n promiutn.
It is referred to as an ' 'anti-panic measure , "
and its operation would bo against a. strin
gency in the money market under any condi
tions.
Voorliccs' Circulation Hill.
As soon as the senate passes the repeal
bill Chairman Voorhoes says ho will call up
his bill giving national banks par value of
circulation upon bonds deposited , acd It will
likely pass without amendment. The temper
of the house has been largely against this
proposition for many years , but after the sil
ver law Is wiped away and there is nothing
to talco its place it is conceded oven by Hi
enemies that the bank circulation bill can be
passed. There is dread fear that the re
peal of the sliver law will have the ultimate
effect of shrinking -wines unless something
is done to make moro money , and the bank
bill appears to bo the swiftest and most
practical.
Chairman Springer , speaking for the ma
jority , and Mr. Johnson of Indiana , for the
minority , of the committee on bunking and
currency , express the opinion thai the prop
osition to repeal the state bunk tax cannot
got out of their committee , and if it comes
up in the form of nn amendment to any
other measure it will bo voted down on the
floor of the houso. It is conceded on every
hand m the senate that it cannot pass that
body.
Tar I IT Hill In November.
While the senate is workine with the re
peal bill and the bank circulation measure ,
the house committee on ways and means
will bo perfecting the tariff bill , which will
not bo reported till November. This will
give the house and its banking committee
ample opportunity to devise a measure to
sup'ply a constantly increasing currency ,
and pa is upon the Johnson bond bill iu-n.
perfected form. No ono now _ thinks of uc-
complishiiig ' liingwith ; sllver-tho 're
cent vote In the house having made any
silver legislation impossible.
May -Muko It n Na louul Holiday. '
Labor day comes tomorrow without pres
tige of a national holiday , although the labor
organisations have long been endeavoring to
have congress nationalize their day of cele
bration. If it had uot been for the llnancial
question , which has ubsorccd the attention
of this congress , Mr. McGann of Chicago ,
chairman of the house committee on labor ,
would have pushed to its passage a bill
making Labor day a national holiday. Such :
a bill has already been introduced in tlio
Semite. A similar bill would have been 10n
troduced by Mr. McGaim , but ho know that
nothing could bo done in cither branch of
congress as long us the financial question re
mained unsettled. The Nebraska delegation >
all favor the Labor day measure. It was
petitioned for by most of thu Nebraska labor
organisations und is popular.

WAsiiiNivro : . ' , Sept. 8. Ono of the first
efforts of the democratic congress will bo
directed to sccuro the repeal of the federal
elections law under which John I. Daven
port of Now York has made such a reputa
tion as a supervisor of elections , Senator
Hill of Now York has taken the initiative Jin
this matter In the scnuto and General Black ,
ox-commissioner of pensions , and now a
member of congress , has prepared a bill 1 to
the sumo purport for introduction in the
house. Senator Hill has made such substan- :
tlal progress that ho has secured the consid-
oration of his bill by the scnuto committee
on judiciary , and a day or two ago the mat
ter was ordered to bo reported to the scnuto
with u recommendation that it puss. Sen
ator Hill's ' bill is very brief and Is as follows :
That lltloQQot the HovUed Statutes of the
United Hiatus ( bolnc koetlons iUuJ ! to U03I ,
both ' Inclusiveentitled ) therein , "The Klcctlvo
I'ranclilso , " und generally known an tlio fed

tlil.s rojxiul Hlmll not affect any proceeding or
piosccutlon now pending forunyoiVcnsu under
Iho sulu suctions or olthur of thum ,
Uvneral Illutk's Hill.
The bill prepared by General Black of Illi
nois is practically in the same words and
totally abolishes federal supervision of elec
tions , incldently abolishing the olllco ilenof
federal supervisor of elections uud thus
tin-owing John I. Davenport of Now York
out of u vocation.
The democrats In their light to sccuro the
repeal of this law do not expect to encounjtor
serious opposition either in the hontu or
senate ; and they appear to bo assured that
tlio > measure is ono which will secure the
immediate approval of President Cleveland.
On last January n select committee to In
quire iuto the administration of election
laws in Now York City .presented n report
containing the follow Ing statement :

that all of these laws have entirely fulled to

Senator Hill , General ftlaclt and iho other
democratic loaders wjio nro preparing to se
cure n promnt repeal of this election law are
receiving very substantial encouragement
'
from the administration' . Under direction
of Secretary of the 'Treasury Carlisle , tlio
postmaster ot the city of Now York has just
ejected Supervisor1 Davcnn from his ofilce
in the postofllco buildup , nd has barred the
door in such a manner" ns to prevent the
federal supervisor of his assistants
ever again securing entrance. It
is believed that Davenport will appeal to
the courts to decide the right of the admin
istration to eject him'from" the oQlces hereto
fore occupied , hut tlhi democrats think be
fore ho can possibly secure any favorable
action in the courts , the bill will have passed
both houses of congress and have been
signed by the president , repealing ! , tn toto.

The populists will nominate a full state
ticket , but the candidates , so far us known
to the public , have not been discussed.
There has been some talk of a possible fu
sion between the citizens prohibition con
vention and the ' populists , but this is hardly
probable , us the'populists will likely adopt a
free silver platform in order to catch the
free coinage democrats , and they could not
do this with u prohibition platform. It is
ulso said there will be a conference on Tues
day of leading free silver democrats , who are
disgusted with the platform of their own
state convention , and also with the action of
congress on the silver question. It is pos
sible some sort o * fusion may bo fixed up
between them and tho'populists.

] The great excite
ment caused by the French "ballotago" elec
tions has been broken into by an international
event of greatltnportanco. The czar has re
plied to the presence of jtko kalsor at Motz ,
accompanied by llio son of the king ot
Italy , by sending a Russian Hoot to
Toulon and ho has selected , in order to
officially announce his decision , the snmo
day that the enemies of Franco had llxed on
for their hostile manifestations nt Motz.
The Russian licet will arrive nt Toulon on
October 18. President Carnet will go to
Toulon to receive it and the officers of the
Russian squadron will come to Paris , where
they will have an enthusiastic reception.
It' u Fnnnnt Notice.
The dooision of the czar Is of great Impor-
tnnco as it proves to Europe that the Franco-
Russian nlllanca is nn accomplished fact ,
and that the reason why the maneuvers of
the Russian licet thus follow the maneuvers
of the German and Italian armies is because
all the arrangements are now completed in
order that the Russian army may bo nblo to

which European diplomatists cannot shut
their eyes.

Purls presents n very animated appoar-
nnco , and at several points in the city Isuce
crowds have been drawn together by tlio
election. The results bore , so far as known ,
show strong republican and socialistic
gains.
M. Charles Floquot lias boon defeated.
His successor is a candidate of the working-
man's party.
M. Goblet , the prime minister who was
nominated on a radical-socialist ticket , is
elected. ,
M. Pichon , a friend of Clomoncoau's , is
not elected , and Barres , the Boulungist
writer , has also boon defeated and the same
fate has overtaken M. Laguerro , the Bou-
lunglst leader. All of these have been re
placed in the Chamber by candidates repre
senting the worklngman's party.
On the other hand the Opera , Odcon and
Chumps Eiysecs quarters have elected the

This result is the dominant vote of the

disappeared from the political scene , the

a great orator and his defeat is a great loss
for French oratory in the Chamber , in which

An Important reception was tendered Dr.
Antonln ! Dvorak , Mrs. Dvorak and Prof.
Joseph Kovarlk by tlio Bohemians
of this city nt National hall on South
Thirteenth street yesterday afternoon.
Although a quiet affair , at which the at
tendance was limited by invitations , it Indi
cated ' the hljth appreciation in which tlio
grout . composer is hold by his countrymen ,
The welcome accorded him on this occa
sion was a hearty ono nnd the unexcelled
national pride of Bohemians was depleted
upon ) ] thu happy faces ot nil present.
Tlio hall was neatly decorated with Amer
ican Hags und plants of many varieties.
. At1 o'clock the distinguished guest and
his party including his host und Mr. Edward
Ilosowatcr , after a ilrivo through the city ,
entered the hall where tables were spread
for i. luncheon. An Interesting program was
followed.
First was a polomilso , ono of the distin
guished guests' own compositions , rendered
by Prof. Dvorzak , the well known musician
of this city.
The Bohemian church choir next sang
"Where is My Homo ? " The c-.ninont com
poser was then formally introduced by
Thomas Capek.
J. Vrnnok read a poem especially dedi
cated to Dr. Dvorak.
The assemblage listened attentively to a
piano solo by Prof. Dvorzak , which was fol
lowed by another son ? by the Bohemian
church choir. Mr. J. Svobodn and Miss M.
Much followed with n duet on lluto nnd
piano , The three eras of "Bohemia , " as
written by Jablotisky , was given by John
Roslcky.
Father ,1. Vranok followed with ft recita
tion , The address by Mr. Edward Rosewater -
water received close attention. The speaker
referred to the fact that the genius of one ot
Bohemia's talented sons hud received proper
und universal recognition. England had
conferred the degree of doctor of music on
Antonin Dvorak. America had adopted him
now us one of her own sons und recognized
his musical talents by placing him
at the head of the profession
us director of the National conservatory
of muslo where ho was in a position to < lo-
vcloii Auici'ican music , the music of Iho
future. Mr. Hosowatei1 congratulated
Omaha.von , havllig the doctor within the
gates aiid cxnressoJ 'tho ' hope that this' city
would have the honor to welcome the com
poser agaln'at some future time when ho
might bo enabled to give a concert bore.
Then Americans , as well as Bohemians ,
would learn to appreciate the muster of
miislo moro fully.
QThe address was cordially received and
responded to by Dr. Dvorak , who stated
that ho was agreeably surprised ut the
splendid reception accorded him. Ho had
not entertained the idea of visiting Omaha
so soon , but on mooting Mr. Rosowuter in
New York the latter hud invited him to this
western metropolis. Ho had concluded to
follow the Invitation , us his time permitted.
IIo expressed his thunus for the honors
shown him. A toast to the guest by Father
Vranok wus the next thing on the program ,
and the rendition of more music by Prof.
Dvorak.
The poem rend by Father Vranok , dedi
cated to the guest , was especially well re
ceived ns it dealt with musii ; , that which
always toiia to touch the Bohemian heart in
prosperity nnd adversity. Thomas C.ipek
also made some happy remarks which found
rcsponsho chords in the hearts of his listen
ers.
ers.Prof. . Josopti Kovnrlk rendered ft violin
solo , accompanied by Dr. Dvorak , and it Is
needless to say that local Bohemians never
were more deeply tarlllcd than on this oc
casion.
Dr. Dvorak abhors ostentation and is a
very unassuming gentleman.
Ho expressed himself ns delighted with
the manner in which ho had been received

ger Clmpmnn was shot ntm killed.
Falling to sccuro money from tlio express
car the bandits robbed the passengers in n
manner much nftor the itylo of tlio James-
Younger gang In tholr palmiest days. The
work was conducted wltli the cool
deliberation of typical outlawry. H
is estimated tlmtv the amount of
booty secured will full'not far short of $ fl,000. i
Watches , diamonds and other valuables were
taken along with the cash. Women were
not exempt oil by the plunderers because of
tholr sox. Everything in sight was taken.
One passenger was made to give up a quart
of whisky.
The exact manner invhlch the express
messenger lost his Hlo is not known , but ho

( nft untold ,
Only Two Shot * 11ml.
The train , In charge of Conductor Mills ,
arrived in this city at 11 o'clonk this morn
ing , nearly two hours Into. Throughout the
robbery only two shots were fired and they
were the ones that blotted out the life of the
express mcssnugcr.
Unfits Cone , chief of nolleoof Wichita , was
a passenger on the train. The train crow
who went through the holdup , with the
exception of Baggageman Lcitwciu , resides
nt Monott and did not coino through to thli
city. Among nil the passengers and train
men only two pistols could bo found. Tlio
men who had thorn were Chief Cone and the
colored porter. The train crow as well as
the passengers wore robbed. The only one
unmolested were tliostj who were traveling
in the sleeper. The bandits escaped.
They Know 'lliolr Hiislnci * .
The work was performed with coolest do-
liberation. The robbers boarded the onglno
at Mound Valley , a small station slxtemi
miles west of Oswego , Kan. , armed with
Winchesters. The engineer was ordered to
pull out and keep moving until ordered to
stop. About u mlle and u half from
the station the leader called to the engineer
to stop. Then the Ir.Untnon were robbed
and the passengers in the smoking and
chair cars were relieved of watches , jewelry
and everything of value. Women were not
spared. Chief Cone and the porter had
taken up a position so they were shielded ,
but could see.tho door and waited for battle ,
but the robbers gave tbat car the go-by and
escaped in the darkness , . -
When the train reached Ostopgo a sher
iff's posse was organized and started In pur * ,
suit of the bandies.
How Clmpnmti Wits Killed.
By killing of the express messenger , C. A.
Chapman , at Mound Valley , the robbers shut
themselves out of the Wolls-Fargo snfo.
When the train halted at that little station
Chapman loft the car to go Into the
smoker. The express was "blind , " no
door nt the end , and the messenger got
off the side to go to the rear. The robbers ,
who were on the engine , thought ho was
going to give an alarm and opened lire on
him. He was shot through the head ana
killed. The train was forced to move on and
leave him lying on the platform.
After the bandits had.abandoned the train
it was backed to the dead man , Chapman
was 34 years old and lived at Joplin and
loaves a wife to whom ho was recently mar
ried.
