from the scene of operations up In that coun

It Is understood that the extension will bo

The car famine continue * without raatorial
change. The freight agents profess n bjltof
that the blockade will bo broKcn next weak ,
but they have no dollnito [ reformation upon
Ahlch to baio the tiopo.
Gcnoral Agent Rltchlo of the Northwest
ern has received advices from
headquarters that his line la now prepared to
receive consignments of No. sin-in g uhuat ,
red winter wheat , yellow corn , rye and oats
and No. 1 flax for Chicago. Shipments for
points east of Chicago , however , will not be
received except in the cars of the eastern
connecting lino. LJhiprnonts that are not ro-
consigned at Chicago by 'J p. m. after in
spection at that point will ba bent to olo-
vntors.
The Milwaukee freight agents have notice
that the Lukci Shore and the Nikel Plato rail
roads will accept transfers of grain nt Chi-
caijo. The Baltimore & Ohio is prepared to
receive a limited amount of grain , but must
have advance notice of consignments.
General Freight Agent Crosby of the Bur
lington 1-uturiicd yostordav from Chicago ,
but ho was unable to give any encouraging
news of tbo car blockade. Some railroad
men in Chicago thought It would bo raised in
llftccn dnyj , and others not for thirty , so It
seems to bo largely n matter of speculation.
Mr. Crosby heard a rumor that the Nickel
Plato would receive ) consignments of grain ,
but ho hod no ofllulal notice to that effect ,
and bo thought there were enough cars
already In Chlcugo to gorge a slnglo eastern
lino. Without having tbo data at hand for
reference , ho picsumed the Burlington hud
! J,000 to iUOO ) cars of grain standing on side
tracks in Chicago awaiting transfer Into cars
of eastern connections. In some cases the
Burlington has allowed Us cars to go east ,
und these may bo gone many weeks.

Union Pacific shopmen nro reported to bo
grumbling about their pay. When they
were working ten hours a day they quit at 5
o'clock Saturday afternoon , but got pay for
that oft hour just the samo. They uro now
working a half day on Saturday and cigbt
and a half hours on other days , and they nro
only paid for the number of hourj tho/
actually put in. Naturally there Is some dis
satisfaction at losing the pay for nn extra
hour. The grievance has not taken tangible
form , however , nnd it has not been brought
ofllclally to the attention of the superintend
ent.
ent.In some eastern railroad shops
where the employes quit at 5 o'cl > ck
on Saturday afternoon , they make up that
time by having the noon hour cut short ton
minutes each day.
In the case of the Union Pacific , that hour
has boon a gilt to its employes , und it came
about In a rather curious way. Snmo twenty
years ago a custom was inaugurated at these
nhops of stopping work at 5 o'clock on Satur
day to glvo the men nn hour for cleaning up
the machinery. It did not require all thu
omployoj to do this , but they were all al
lowed full timo. Pretty soon the mon who
und to stay and wipe the machinery began to
prumblo because others could go homo at 5
o'clock. 'Ihc result In time was that work
after that hour was abolished nnd the full
pay wont on.

As time ROCS by thcro is an increasing In
terest In the apnoititmont of the .successor of
the late Fred B. Whitney , Ilrit assistant
general freight agent of the Union Pacitlc.
It is not likely any appointment will bo ma Jo
until General Trafllo Manager Mellon ro-
turns. Ho is now at Salt Lake City , headed
for Omaha , hut is not expected hero until
nftor Christmas. Circumstances , however ,
now foreshadow his probable action , and they
are considered such reliable pointers that
mnn familiar with Union Paclllo mothoJs ,
accept them us all but conclusive.
Lust wcok Mr. C. J. Lane , traveling freight
ngont for the Union Pacific with headquar
ters at Grand Island , was called in to
Omaha. Since then Mr. K. II. Wood , assist
ant general freight agent , has occupied tha
ofllco nnd discharged the duties of Mr.
VVhluioy. Mr. Liino has been occupying the
desk vacutca by Mr. Wood and taking up the
lines of that gentleman's work. It is
iwtmincil , of course , that those changes have
been made by direction from Mr.
Molten , and railroad men who
have watohod lilt policy closolv say it is
pretty safe to gamble that they clearly ihdi-
cato coming events. It is , therefore , pre
dicted thai Mr. Wood will bo promoted to
Jlrst assistant general freight agent nnd Mr.
Lane to assistant general freight asent.

SiMtHationnl Mtirtlor G'.nne.
Drxvr.n , Colo. . DJC. 1" . EJward Uonnett
was the IhMt wltucsi in the Graves trial this
morning. Ho idonllllud several loltcra re
ceived by Mrs. Bartmbv from Dr. Graves.
Mr.-i. Bennett testified that she Lad visited
Mrs. Burnaby , nnd that the latter hud said
she hud left Dr. B. Graves .V.OdU In her first
will. Witness had seen a letter fiom Dr.
Graves to Mrs , Burnaby , in which the doc
tor had threatened to have a cuardlan ap
pointed for Mrs. Barnaby. Witnois had
seen Mr . Barnaby In the Adirondack rid
ing horseback , man stylo. She ( Mrs. Bar-
nnby ) was dressed In n mother hubbnrd , and
once foil off her horso.
Mrs. Ilickey of Providence , who was Mrs.
Barnahy's washwoman , was next called.
She had known Mrs. Barnaby and her fam
ily over thirty years. MM. Bnrnaby lived in
a small bouse by hewclf , and when her hu-t-
baud died , she tolu witness tbat her husband
hud loft her but $ J,5UU per year , and she was
not BiillslludIttithl3. . Shortly afterwards
she bccamu acquainted with Dr. Graves , and
seamed to have been fascinated with him.
Soon after this , Mrs. Dutniby said that Dr.
Graves had advised her to contest her hus
band's ' will , and she had advised them both
not to do so. Later Mrs. Burnaby told wit
ness she was going to follow the doctor's ad
vice , nnd that ho wanted her to sign a paper
that Muud Barnaby was not Mr. Uarnuby's
child. Witness advised her to done
no such thing , and Mrs. Barnaby
said tha doctor hud told her if she
could not get her rights sbo should have her
revenge. Again , Mrs. Burnaby told her
that , if Mr. Burnaby could glvo $100,000 to
hU mistress , she should have her rights.
She said Dr. Graves told her that Mr. Bar
naby hud loft bis money to his mistress. Bc-
fore becoming acquainted with Mrs. Bar
naby , Dr. Graves lived In a two roomed
house , but soon afterwards ho moved into a
largo and handsome one. Mrs. Barnaby was
very suscoptlblo to flattery , nnd by this
means Dr. Graves gained control of her until
she would do anything ho said. Whllo Mrs.
Barnaby was in uulitornla , witness received
a letter from her , in whiohsho asked witness
to watch Dr. Graves , that she hau reasons to
mistrust him. She answered that shu
would tell her nil when she came
homo , because she did not care to put
much on paper. In January lust witness
Hiked Dr. Graves why he sent Salllo Henley
. " herCer !
with Mrs. Barnaby , "Tospy on
tainly , " the doctor replied. Witness next
saw the doctor In April last. They had warm
words about the property , nnd the doctor
said ; "If Mrs. Barnaby asked for hoi-
property , ho would bring her in insnno and
you need not bo surprised If you hear some
day that Mrs. Barnaby has had a shock. "
"When Airs. Barnaby started for Callfoinin ,
It wu . tbo last time 1 over saw her ulivo. 1
wrote how but once , telling her that I would
tell her all about Dr. Graves when she came
homo. Dr. Graves told mo ho uuderstood
'that Mrs. Barnaby was coming homo to get
hur money and give it to the Bennetts , and ,
if she attempted anything of the Kind , ho
would have her sent to a crazy house , or
have a guardian appointed for hor. " ,
Henry G. Trickoy. correspondent of the
Boston Globe , was the next wltnosx. Ho
testified to having had nn interview with Dr.
Graves at Providence , in which the doctor
stated that ho was surprised that anyone
should susppct him of poisoning Mrs. Bar-
naby. Ho believed she had been poisoned ,
and was under the impression tbo poison had
been sent her from Boston. Ho refused to
tnlk concerning his movements or Journey
west after Mrs. Barnaby's death , and ho also
stated that ho did not Know the causa of her
death until ho reached Denver. Mrs. Bar
naby had informed him that ho was a benc-
ticlury in tier will , but he did not know the
amount. Ho told witness that ho had taken
charge of Mrs. Harnaby's affairs , but only
upon her earnest solicitation. Ho also ro-
lleotod upon Mrs. Barnaby's character , and
declared he was sorry ho had ever bccomj
acquainted with her.

LONDON , Doc. 1 * . The corporation of the
city of London today voted the sum of'j.OJ'J '
guineas for the purpose of providing a wed
ding present for Prince Albert Victor of
Wales and Princess Victoria Mury of Teck.
It has been said that the prlnco of Wales
feels a hesitancy about asking parliament to
make a grant for the proper support of Ips
eldest son -after his marriage to Princess
Victoria Mary , and that parliament
migut , In vinw of tno gro'at popu
larity of the engagement , take the
initiative move nnd have n bill for that
purpose originate In the houso. It has oven
boon suggested in some quarters that the
lord mayor of London should open a sub
scription for tbo fund for the support of the
roj-al couple , but It is not believed .that the
quean or prlnco of Wales would pivo their
consent to any sucn moans to raise money.
Some of tbo radicals are not backward in
saying that the country is already enough
taxed to support the queen and her mi morons
relatives , nnd that her majesty could- very
readily grant Prince Albert Victor and
Princess Victoria Mary n marriage portion
from her private tmrso.

for the bearing of ttio Jackson case Attorney
Offut , for the defense , began to coniondthat
tlio case should novel1 have boon brought Into

have boon tried by couit martial.

martial , because ho bad a right , as on
ofllcor in the dUctiirge of his duty to kill n
man who disobeyed military orders. Air.
Offut insinuated that the civil authorities
had been over anxious to got hold of the

"I novcr nskod the military authorities
for the priviloRoof trying this ciso. The

wanted us to tnUo charge of the cao and wo
have done so , " &uld Mr. Bauer. ' 'The gr.iml

1 am to do my duty. "
"I am not anxious to try the caso. If the
military department want the casu they can
have it , so far as I am concerned , " iho dis
trict attorney said rather sharply.
"This is all out of order , " interposed -
torposod the juduo. "This matter
should hnvo been discussed before a jury was
culled. The trial must procceed now. This
jury U sworn to a-y tliii case , the defendant
Is hero and wo must proceed or acquit the
accused. "
The ; aso went riqht ahead.
s-ymjiatliy Tor Jackson.
The fact of thoMtuation Is just this : Tbo
sympithy of the army ofdcera is. to a very
largo degree , with Jackson. Tlio judge aa-
vocato seems to doslro that Jackson should
ba acquitted. It. is fe.irod , how ever , that ho
will bo convicted of manslaughter. Ho
would have boon acquitted by n court mar
tial because nlno out ot every tan oflicers be-
llovo that an ofliccr has a right to kill a sub-
ordiuato who will not ohojorders. .
Speaking of the case an ofilcer of very
high rank in the headquarters said : "It has
boon hold and ost.ibllstiod that an oflicor has
a right to kill a man who interferes with
him IP tlio discharge of nis duty. This mat
ter has boon thoroughly established in court
martial. Wnothor or not Jat-hson was
strictly ' .a the performance of his duty and
Donovan interfered with him nt the time llio
fatal blow was struck would , of cour = e. have
to bo decided by a court martial. .But if
.Fackson was performing his duty as an ofllcor ,
and if Donovan did interfere or hinder him
In any way , then there could bo no quouicm
as to the rnsult of a court martini trial.
Jackson would bo acquitted unaer such circumstance -
cumstanco ? . It is perfectly right , howover.
to have that case tried in a civil court. Mili
tary courts cannot try murder case.i in times
of Duaco. That was reported to headquarters
ns a murder case.'and was therefore turno.l
over to the civil authorities for trial. U
turned out to bo only n case of manslaughter ,
whicn the military court could huvo tried , for
rases of man&iauchtcrcomo within the juris
diction of the military court. Hut the case
is in the civil court and should bo tried
there. "
Kvlclcnce for Pra-icoiitfoii.
Something like half a dozen witnesses
wci-o introduced by the prosecution to provo
that Jackson struck Donovan over tno head
with his gun nnd that , the blow was the
causa of Donovan's death. The prosecution
also proved that the act took nlaca on the
Fort Houiuson military reservation on Octo
ber b.
The evidence Introduced brought , out the
fact thai fho docused was at the time Jackson
struck him using tuo most Vila and abusive
and Insulting words and applying the most
obscene epithets to Sargoant Jackson that
human speech could possibly frame. It was
also disclosed that Jackson took the gun In
both bauds by the barrel , and Mvingini ; it
over his head as n club , hu struck the offend
ing Inobrlntu a terriflu blow on the sidu of the
head , crushing in a section of tlio head about
four inclios long and cracking the IMSO of the
skull clear across.
The defense will Introduce testimony
today.

Judge Dundy said yesterday that in case anew

The sentence , the Judge said , if pronounced
without interference would oo spoken some
day toward the close of the present torm.
The time for the execution might bo fixed

disc-ration of the judgo. In all probability
the execution , If It should tatto place , will t.o
