The Cri: TiUl.
DtSVER, CIo.. Dec. H.-1j tU
Grave trial Thursday Mrs. E. S. Wor
rel testified to drinking with Mrs. Barn
aby a portion of tbe fluid fatal to the
latter. Then witness became very ill.
Witness waa able to take solid food
when Dr. Gravel arrived from the east,
and when Mrs. Barjaby's body waa
taken east a few days later, she was able
to go to tbe depot witn tDe Party- ,,5ne
kDew that when Mra. Barnaby was here
in January she received medicine from
Dr. Graves, which came through the
mail, and which was for rheumatism,
and when they were in California th
had on various occasions received lo'trs
and papers. She said she first met Mrs.
Baraby in Europe in 1684, and traveled
with her for three months, She after
wards visited her at Providence on sev
eral occasions, until three years later,
when they had a slight misunderstand
ing and their relations ceased for a
short time, after which their friendship
was renewed. When tbe witness made
her last visit to Providence she noticed
that the relations between Mr. aud Mr.
Barnaby were very much strained, and
she had endeavored to make peace be
tween them, but failed. She to!d this
to a reporter for one of the Boston
papers and also informed him that
Mrs. Barnaby had left 850,000 in her
will for D.-. Graves. She admitted that
Mrs. Barnaby had told her that Dr.
Graves was the one who advised her to
oneet her husbands will, and that on
one occasion she said if she did not take
her business out of the doctors Lands
she would be ruined. When Mrs. Barna
by and the witness were travelicg
through California she used to write
Dr. Graves regularly, sending him her
kindest regard and expressing satis
faction at every thing he did, and also
k-eping him informed as to her move
ments. At this point several of her letters
were introduced in evidence. Not one of
them contained a single word relating to
their movements or when they intended
to return to Colorado.
She left California before Mrs. Barn
aby. She arrived in Denver about two
weeks later and found the bottle sup
posed to contain whiskey awaiting her.
Mrs. Worrell then related the story of
the death of .firs. Barnaby, as hereto
fore given in these dispatches.
Evidence was then introduced by the
prosecution to show that Dr. Graves
had always intimidated Mrs.' Barniby
and threatened to have a guardian ap
pointed to take care of her u n lest u!ie
did absolutely as he said. The execu
tors of the estate deny that they ad
vised Dr. Graves to take this course, al
though Dr. Graves intimated that they
did.
William IL Wood, one of the execu
tors of the estate of Mrs. Barnnby a
called. He stated that Mrs. Barnaby
had been left 1105,000 by her husband's
will, Several sums were paid to Mr.
Barnaby, but the greater part had been
paid to either Dr. Graves or Mr. Bollou.
He held a receipt from Mrs. Barnaby by
Anna Worrell as witness for the entire
9105,000. The witness then went inlo
details about the time and amount paid
Mrs. Barnaby at various times, after
which the court adjourned.

I Mr. and Mrs. James Norcross arrive !

with phenomenal coolness. She ex
pressed a wish to visit the morgue as

ICOUMKD THE MAI..
Chicago, 111., Dec IS. Jesse James'
exploits were outdone laBt night in Chi
cago. On one of the thoroughfares fire dar
ing high ay men suddenly surrounded
one of Uncle Sam's biggest mail wagons
and at revolver point forced the postal
employes to thro out several sacks.
The bulky government vehicle waa then
sent flying on its journey, the occupants
being threatened with instant death if
they made outcry or stopped.
MARK A VERY ISKAT JOB. '
So complete was the surprise effected
oy the bandits that the mail drivers
failed to irilize the services of a large
bull dog which was beside them on their
seat.
Near midnight the stolen mail sacks,
split oien and rifled of their c intent",
were found in Superior street, in tbe
north division of the city fully three
miles from the scene of the robbery. At
that hour every available man of the
city detective force and the postoflice in
spector's staff was straining every nerve
to obtain a clue to the identity of the
highwaymen or their whereabouts.
WHF.BE IT HAFI'ENKD.
The wagon was on its way to the main
postoflice with the mail frjni the Rtock
yards and southwest stations. It was
in charge of John Creighton, an exper
ienced driver, who, after collecting his
valuable freight, drove down Blue Ielmd
avenue to Halsted street, and then
lurried eat on Water atreel.
He was lia'f way to Des Plainee street
when five men sprang from the sidewalk.
One seized the horses by the reins while
the others covered Creighton with revol
vers and commanded him to Keep quiet.
The team was then led to the alley ex
tending north from Maple street and
then, while one of the men covered
Creighton with a revolver, the others
forced open the doors of the wagon and
hastily selecting the registered pouches
made off through tbe alley.
JJBKRATED TBE BRIVEK.
Creighton s guard kept the captive
covered for five minutes and then left
him. The thoroughly frightened driver
whipping up his horses, drove as rapidly
;ts possible to the m lii postoflice, where
he reported the affair.
An inventory whs then made of the
contents of the wagon and it was found
that tl io two registered mail pouches
from the slock yards station and those
of the southern station and Blue Island
station wore missing. The value of the
contents the officials were unable to de
termine, but it is known to be heavy.
Creighton, in the dark was unable to
distinguish the features and scarcely
thn forms of his assailants, except the
one who stood guard. The latter whs
alxjut live feet, ten inches tall, and wore
a dark cap pulled down over his eyes.
WHAT Tlir.Y OBTAINED.
Some time after midnight a rumor
was current that one of the robbers had
had been arrested, but the report was
denied by Inspector Schaack.
As nearly as can ba estimated the
robbers secured in the neighborhood of
0,000 in currency and about 8200,000
worth of non-negotiable paper sent by
the Drovers and the Stock Yards Na
tional banks to their correspondents.
The latter item will be of Ittle use to
the baudite, but will cause an endless
amount of trouble and confusion in the
financial circle involved.
I xrltement l Rife.
ViBTojf, la., Dec. 18. Considerable ex
citement is rife here over the cruelty
practiced to a woman and her child by a
Dunkard minister. A large number of
citizens assembled upon the banks of
the Cedar river in front of a large open
ing cut in tbe ice yesterday to witness
the baptism into the Dunkard faith of
Mrs. Cushion, who, carrying her young
babe in her arms, and accompanied by a
few friends and the Rev. Peter Forney,
appeared about thre e o'clock. After a
few preliminary remarks, song and
prayer, the icy waters were entered,
Tbe water was almost too much for the
lady in her delicate condition, and she
appealed earneatly and struggled to be
released, but the minister refused to
yield to her entreaties, and she waa im
mersed once. She renewed her effort
to be released, but in vain and ahe was
again plunged beneath the icy waves.
Her struggle and appeals were more
than many of the ladies on the bank
could endure, and they turned away,
but the reverend gentleman clung to
bis convert until ahe had been immersed
three times, face foremost aa ia their
mstom.

llo.v.U U , Dec. 11 -Robert Wil.ox,
the Hamaliau agitator, is taking part in
the preliminary movements of tbe com
ing political campaign, his following be
ing entirely Hawaiian. At a meeting
of a native society, December 4, a reso
lution was intrudu ed by Mr. Ksulukuo
contending that that the proposal to
convert Hawaii into a republic should
be openly disapproved by all candidatrs
for office. He said there was a rumor
circulating that certain persons were
conspiring to overthrow the throne and
declared that the republican form of
government will be sure destruction to
Hawaii and tbe natives.
Wilsox made a speech in reply, but
refrained from an open declaration for
a change in the form of government.
He said the talk abroad of a republic
was caused by the utter uiiagoverniueBt
of affairs here, lie said: "We must
tell the quetn that her present govern
ment is an iujustice and a disgrace to
the nation; we must not flatter her.
Point out her wrongdoing that ia the
only way to strengthen her pot i lion."
Kaulukuo's resolution was then in
definitely postponed.
Sister Rose Gertrude, the ycung Eng
lish voman who came to the islands to
minister to tbe leper settlement at
Molokai, but waa not allowed to go
there, has been carried to Dr. Lutz of

The United State cruiser Charleston
which arrived here from Yokohama the

Advices from Ponape say there is
some doubt about Consul Rand getting
his exequateur from the Spanish gov
ernment, and that if it is refused it
would be in order to send the United
States consul by some naval vessel.
Aa Ohio Mlulater'a Sermon on the Subject
C luaes a ftenastlon.
Springfield, Ohio, Dec. 17. The
Rev. Mr. Barnes, pastor of the Central
and leading church, has created a sen
sation here by his sermon to a packed
house on "Catholicism."
He said in brief: "Methodism invitee:
Rome commands. The Methodist con
gregation sings, "All Hail tbe Power of
Jesus' Name;" Rome mutters, "Hail
Mary.' Methodism repeats the beati
tudes of Jesus, but the Rjman council's
decrees roll in repeated thunders ana
thema, anathema. Pope Leo XIII.
writes his manifesto on labor for the
delectation of workingmen while he re
ceives from tbe chuich the princely
yearly income of ll.VV CO. By this pal
try salary his labor essay is assured of
sympathetic reading by the sn and
daughter of toil.
Pope Pius IX., known to history as
the ''proverty-etricken prisoner of the
Vatican," died worth " S1.COO,000, in
vested, strange to cay, chiefly in Cng-li-h
console. Methodism loves the
Bible. Rome hales it. Methodism has
always opposed the theater; Romanists
congratulate t'aemselves upon the num
ber of their co-religionists upon the
stage.'

Denykr.CoI. Dec. 17. K. S. Worrell
jr., was ended to the stand. He said l.e
notified Mrs. Conrad of tbe death of
her mother. Mrs. .'iarnaby. He gave
congestion of the lungs aa the crubs of
death.
Worrell repealed the oft-told story
about Mrs. Baraby being disatisfied
w.th the doctor a her business mana
ger. He declared that w hen the cause
of Mra. Barnaby "a death was first dis
cussed he did not know that he or any
of hia family were suspected of com
plicity. He mod fL'd this statement
somewhat when a newspaper was pro
duced which contained an interview
with him upon the subject.
Mrs. Worrell, jr., was recalled and
testified that after the fatal package
was brought home from the iivery
stable, where it remained all night in a
buggy, it was placed on tbe dining room
table, where it remained for a day be
fore the women drank from it. N&e
also corrected a statement made by
their servant girl to the effect that after
Mrs. Baraby a death she had been or
dered to empty and clean all the bottles
in tbe house. The girl was ordered to
clean one and pour into it some tonic,
which Mrs. Worrell, sr. wanted to take
with her on a journey.

Berux, Dec. U-A case similar to
the racent aiteaipt on the life of Ru sell
Sag in New i'ork o-currel in this city.
The imitator of Mr. Sage's assailant had
apparently followed cUely the account
published hereof the Sage affair, as his
plan of operation was exactly the same
as the Ne York dynamiter, although
fortunately, at the critical moment, he
lost his nerve and fulled to carry out his
evil design As in the case of Mr. Sage,
the ol jevt was to extort money under a
threat of instant death, and the attempt
i.s in the Sage case, was made upon a
wealthy man, and one of some prouito-
nee in the financial world. The fuct
. f the case, as leported to the police, are
hs follows:
During business hours a young man
entered the cilice in this city occupied
by Hermann 4 Co., bankera. The visitor
was approached by an attendant, and
when as.ked his business he replied that
he wanttd to have a private interview
with the principal member of the firm
on business of importance. The stran
ger waa ushered into a waiting room
aud Mr. Hermann soon joined hix.
When the two men were abne the
Granger handed the banker a letter and
asked him to read it. Mr. Hermann did
eo and was greatly surprised hen he
found that it was a demand to pay o.er
10,000 marks lit once to the bearer, with
the threat th it in case of a refusal the
premises would be instantly blown up
with dynamite.
Mr. Herman realized that he was in a
critical position, but instead of parley
ing with the visitor, he called out loudly
for he'p to arrest Ike man. The fellow
thereupon made a dash from the place,
but a number of persons had been at
tracted by the cries of Mr. Hermann
and set out in pursuit of the lleeing
stranger. He was caDtured after a sharp
chasj and was handed over to the police.
At the police station he was searched.
Among the various things taken from
his pockets was two packages of (un
powder and two other packages con
taining a white powder, the nature) of
which is not known. Neither the pris
oner's name nor anything that might
eHtao'ish his identity has so far len
le irnecl.
A Terrilile Wreck.
CiiFJtiiYviLi.E, Kae., Dec. 1J. The

miles north of this city by the diepln e
ment of a mil, owing to decayed lied
The train was composed of three passen
ger coaches, an express car and a mail
and baggnge car, in charge of Conductor

miles an hour and just south of the
Cherry creek bridge the three coaches
and the express car became detached
from the baggage car .ind engine and
were hurled down a high embankment,
with about forty passengers, besides the
trainmen aboard.
The coaches had no sooner struck the
ditch than tire broke out in each car,
causing a general panic. Twenty-six
passengers were injured, three of whom
will probably die The passengers who
were able went bravely to work to save
the seriously injured ones and 1I were
rescued before the fire had consumed
the coaches, although quite a number of
the unfortunates received severe burns.
The injured passeogers were brought to
this city and taken to too Sherman
house, where medical aid was summoned
to allbviate their sufferings.

D,.fa, Dec l-'.-Io the Graves
Irinl Mr. Edward llenr.elt s UkUi
ined. St e remembered the visit ot Dr. ,
and Mr. Graves, with M:, Barnaby. t '
her home in the Adirondack. During
thil visit Mrs. liarnahy aid fche had
left Dr. Graves !),( in her ti ret will.
but thought thi was too mu.h. The
w mess remembered of Mrs. 'Jirnaby
receiving a letter io nbich the doctor
threatened to upfint a guardian for
her. This fretted hrr very much.
Mrs. HL'Vory of Proridence, who a
Mrs. Barnaby' washwoman, said she
had known the Barnaby family over
thirty years. Mrs. Barnaby lived in r
small bouse by herself and when her
husband died she to'd the witness he
left her but 12,500 per yenr, but thU
she wa sat'sfied witt this. - hhori'y
after she became acquainted with Dr.

The witness advise 1 her not to dj suet'
a thing. Again Mrs. Barnaby told tin-
witness that if Barnabv could give I0',

rights. Dr. Graves told her that Bare
aby left the money to the mistress.
Mrs. Barnaby was very susceptible t
flattery, and by this means Gravet
gained control over her. In April las
the witness and the doctor had bt
words about the property, and the doc
tor said if Mrs. Barnaby atked for l.t'-
property "he would bring her insnni-.
and you need not be surprised it yoj
hear some day that Mrs. Barnaby had n
shock." When Mrs. Barna'jy as in
California the doctor told the wities

Heiry G. Tricksy, a correspondent of
the Boston Globe, testified as to his in
terviews with Dr. Graves, who had old
him thai Mrs. Brnsby informed him
that he was a beneficiary in her will,
but that he did D)l know the amount.
He told the witness that he had taken
charge of her affairs only upon her earn

upon her character and declared that he
was sorry he ever became acquainted
