A JEAN VALJEAN IN REAL LIFE. Sensational Scenes in the Trial of Pr. Graves in Denver. HIS ATTORNEY'S TLE1 FOR JUSTICE Memphis, Dec. 9. Special' Talton Hall, one of the most notorious desperadoes of the Kentucky and West Virginia border, was captured here by detectives to-day. He ii wanted for killing Enos D. Heylton, a deputy marshal at Xorton, "Wise county, Va., but beyond that crime has a record of blood equaled by few criminals in the country. He was a leader in the famous feud be tween the Howards, Turners and Eversoles, of Letcher county, Kentucky. All of the principals and most of the relatives were killed in the feud that raged for years in the mountains, and which" occasioned the calling out of the militia at various times. On one occasion 24 members of the Turner pane, including Turner were killed. Hall was in that fight. At another time he and his gang pursued Eversole toBoonville, and not finding their man they burned down the town. The prisoner claims, singly and in posses, to have slain 99 men. This is doubtless an exasperation, but that he has killed a score or more there is no doubt. He was a Dep uty United States Marshal under the des perate Wyatt, and in a fight with nioon fchiners the posse killed six men. He killed a policeman in Mavsville, Ky., and killed the first husband of his wife, that he might marry her He is a brave man, absolutely fearless, and in appearance a typical mountain man tall, raw-boned, and straight as an arrow, with piercine cray eyes. He is only 40 years old. His w ife resides here, and the detectives have been watching the house, expecting him to visit her. They surprised him in bed. He had a Colt's revolver anda "Winchester in reach, but the officers "got the drop" on him, and he vielded. For a time before his identity was known he drove a street car here, worked on a railroad, and boarded in the same house Tilth, one of the city policemen. THE BOMBITER'S BUST. A FLASTEK CAST MADE OF RUSSELL, SAGE'S ASSAILAXT. Hundreds Still View the Bend Daily Sonth worth, the Suspected Accomplice, in an Insane Asylum Another Dangerous Lunatic at Lareje He Scares Ilis Mother. 2Jew York, Dec P. The head ot the dead bomb thrower was viewed by hun dreds at the morgue this morning. With each day that passes the features become more indistinct, and therefore a plaster cast has been made of the head. Experts will make Boxtthircrth, the Suspected Accomplice. another examination of the brain to-day or to-morrow. Mrs. Catherine Stumpf called to see the head. She had a picture of "Prof." A A Denton, and was sure that it was his head. The picture bore a striking resemblance to the features of the dead thrower. The man Sonthworth is in the insane pa vilion, just across from the morgue. He has little to say. Among his effects has been found a fibbon like that believed to have been worn bv the dead bomb thrower, and which was found Monday in Sage's v. recked office. Kussell Saee is not expected down at his office this week, but he is diiecting affairs from his home and his business is going on as usual. Messrs. Osborne, Robertson and Laidlaw, who were so severely injured by the explosion, are still confined to the hos pital, but are progressing toward recovery. Mrs. Francis V. Stokes cot a warrant to-day for the arrest of her son, George S. Stokes, a lunatic now at large. Stokes has alreadv had experience in California and Xew York insane asylums. He was a law yer in good standing at one time. Afterward he turned up in California, where he shot a man and was put in a lunatic asylum. He cot out of there by legal proceedings, and came to his mother's house in this city. Since then he has nearly frightened the life out of the old lady. He has visited the banks where he was ac customed to deposit money and demanded large sums which he claimed to have in their vaults. His mother is possessed of property which will revert to her son at her death. ANOTHER JEAN VALJEAX. DR. GRATES' LAWYER ELOQUENT IS HIS CLIEXT-S DEFENSE. He Claims the Phj siclan Is the Persecnted One Says the Time Tor the Froof of Ilis Innocence Is Coining A Victim, Not t Fiend. Dekveb, Dec. 9. Special There was another story related in Judge Itising's court this morning. It was the tale of an innocent man accused of a crime so black that when it was related all who heard it were horrified. This innocent mau, this becond Jean Yaljean, was Dr. Graves. Judge Furuian, who made the opening argument for the defendant this morning in this now celebrated trial, t-aid Graves was innocent He was the victim of cir cumstances, the victim of a plot, and all about were the plotters. A woman had died suddenly under suspicious circum stances, it was charged thata murder had been committed, the law cried for a vietim, none was to be lound, but one was manu factured, and thi". one was Dr. Graves. " The unfortunate man gazed at his lawyer with a grateful look in his eyes. He "ap peared to gain confidence w ith each word. CURIOS CRIME He was a different man from the one who sat yesterday listening to Mr. Stevens de nunciation, lie appeared to be transformed. His whole face was illumined, and at times he seemed ready to burst into tears. A Most Peculiar Scene. It was a strange scene. A man who was battling for hre life sat listening to his champion, with many about who did not be lieve a word that this champion said. There were others who did, but there were looks of derision on the faces of the doctor's old neighbors, who are witnesses against him. Even the impassioned eloquence of Judge Furuian failed to move them, al though it moved many. Some quailed be neath liis denunciation, while others only smiled. Judge Furmau is without question the most brilliant actor ever heard in a West ern courtroom. His sole argument was the denial of every charge preferred acainst Dr. Graves. He denied that his client had ever acknowledged having sent a bottle of pure whisky, had ever defrauded Mrs. Bar naby out of a cent, aud that Dr. Graves was the persecuted of the two. When the proper time came, he claimed the ability of the defense to prove who was the perpe trator of this horrible crime and justice would yet be done. Taking of Testimony Entered Upon. When court reconvened this afternoon Judge Macon withdrew his request for the exclusion of all witnesses from the court room, since the prosecution threatened to have Dr. Graves' bond declared void. Im mediately thereafter the taking of testimony began. The first witness called was George W. Domett, chief clerk of the Boston post office, who testified as to the various series of stamps and their general circulation. He was followed by John J. Devinish, of the Providence postoffice, who knew Dr. Graves intimately from his position of stamp clerk. Witness generally sold de fendant stamps of a large denomination, and remembered distinctly having sold him stamps similar to these contained on the wrapper of the fatal bottle. Upon the conclusion of the Devinish testimony an adjournment was taken until to-morrow, when various chemists who analyzed the poison will be examined. TEN LIVES LOST.

At 2:35 o'clock this morning an explosion occurred in the adjoining buildinc, occupied by Bamberger, Streng & Co.

THE STATES AND THE FAIB. Representatives Meet In Conference With th Directors and tno Board. Chicago, Dec 9. Thirty-one State World's Fair organizations were represented in the convention called to meet to-day with the Board of Control, the Department Chiefs and the Directors of the Exposition. President Baker, of the local directors, made a speech that seemingly complicates the relations between the State boards and the National Commission, and may lead to lively times in the convention. Mr. De Young introduced a resolution, which was adopted, providing for reports from each State. Ex-Congressman Frank, of Missouri, of fered a resolution providing for an organ ization of all the State delegations present into one body. Some of the members of the Board of Control thought they saw in this resolution a movement to demand per mission to install State exhibits in State buildings. This led to a postponement of the Missourian's resolution until to-morrow, to which time the convention adjourned. rapMi IN FURS WE HAVE 435 "Reduced Prices" Does res NO COM OHTETA SEAL SI. 6 8 IMITTIFIFS, CAPES.

The Lead Trost'Was Illegal, but a Jersey Charter Saves It A Reorganization That SatUfies the Law as Well as " Schemers How It Got There. i'EW Yokk, Dec. 9. The trustees of the National Lead Trust are now free to carry out the scheme of reorganization whereby its entire property was transferred to the National Lead Company, a corporation organized under the laws of New Jersey with a capital of 830,000,000, divided into 813,000,000 preferred and 815,000,000 com mon stock. Thomas H. TJnkles, a holder of 860,000 in certificates, applied to the Supreme Court for an injunction against the scheme. The trust opposed this, and Judge Incraham to-day denied the applica tion, holding that the trust is illegal and cannot enforce an illegal agreement. The stock of the company will be dis tributed among the holders of trust certifi cates in proportion to their holdings. There will also be paid at the same time a cash dividend of 30 cents per share on the trust shares, equal to a quarterly dividend at the rate ot 7 per cent in the new preferred stock. The stock of the National Lead Company will now represent the property heretofore represented by trust certificates. As the capital of the National Lead Com pany is 530,000,000 against about 890,000,000 capital of the trust, the effect of this method of reorganization is to reduce the capitalization of the property to one-third its former amount. In his decision to-day Judge Ingraham says there was no allegation in the com plaint that the scheme was not in accord ance with a majority of the certificate hold ers. He refers to the Sugar Trust, and pro nounces the Lead Trust illegal, and says that upon no principle could the perform ance of the trust agreement be enforced. Therefore, he enjoins the carrying out of the organization. Simon Beymer and John H. MoKelvey, of Pittsburg, are in the direc tory. BUED BY HIS OWN K0IHEB. A Sensation That Is Shaking Up New York's Swell Set. New York, Dec 9. Special. About a year and a half ago the wedding of Mr. Philip Livingston and Miss Juliet Birchead Morris took place in St. Bartholomew's Church. Every pew was filled with New York's fashionable people. Tne ceremony was held amid a bower of palms, laurel wreaths aud flowers placed about the chancel. The bndemaids wore pretty gowns of white lace, and with golden gir dles and wreaths of forget-me-nots. The bride looked radiant. After the cere mony a large reception was held at the house of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William A. Morris, 11 West Fifty-second street, and this was followed by a dinner in the evening. It is to be expected, there fore, that somewhat of a sensation will be cauted in social circles next week, when the young couple are summoned to appear in the Supreme Court, to answer a complaint instituted by the groom's own mother, charging them with deception and fraud in an attempt to deprive her of all the property left to her by her husband's will. It was the blushing bride, according to the complaint of the mother, that instigated her son, while they were still away on their wedding tour, to defraud her of her prop erty. No sooner had the honeymoon ended, the mother declares, than the son made out deeds of conveyance, and prevailed upon her by falsi representation to sign them, thereby transferring the title of the prop erty from her to himself. Doesn't Relieve in Government Loans. John McDowell, President of the State Agricultural Society; Colonel J. B. R. Streator, and Attorney Dickson, of Wash ington, left for Harisburg last evening to coufer with Eastern representatives and the Governor about granger matters. Mr. McDowell said he was not in a position at present to-talk about the business, but in time it would be made public He is a member of the Grange, but he doesn't be lieve in Government" loans to the farmer. Every man must look out for himself in this world, and when money is loaned by individuals it is safer. Sent to Their Destination.

DECEMBER NO SERIOUS OBJECTIONS Raised to the Desired Change of Second Avenue and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Tracks Chief Blgelow Ex plains What I Desired In the Matter. The effort of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to effect a transposition of its tracks and Second avenue is likely to assume definite shape before long. Plans of the desired change have been submitted to Chief Bigelow, and he is giving the matter considerable thought. The railroad is after more yard room. By moving the street to where its tracks now are, between the Tenth street bridge and lock No. 1, the company will gain about five miles of additional track in its yard. It is claimed that the plan would also be of advantage to the city by making a better street as well as relieving it of the expense of maintaining two bridges. . Chief Bigelow said yesterday: "At E resent there is a heavy down grade on econd avenue between the points men tioned. At the Tenth street bridge the avenue is above the railroad, the latter passing under it through a culvert or bridge. At the lock the avenue is about 15 feet below the railroad. It is argued that this grade would be done away with by putting the avenue where the railroad is now. Under the proposed arrangement the avenue would cross the tracks at lock No. 1 instead of at the Tenth street bridge. "A short distance beyond where the rail road passes under the avenue the latter crosses a gulley over a wooden bridge. Ac cording to the ordinance the city has to keep this in repair for 50 years. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has purchased what is known as the Hammon property below Second avenue. If it secures what it wants it promises to relieve the city from all re sponsibility as to the bridges. They will both be removed and all the ground will be filled up, making a good grade for the yard. Nothing official has yet been done in the matter. I cannot see anv great objection to the plan." Mayor Gourley said: "I am not familiar enough with the location to say much about it But if it will not injure the street and the railroad company bears the expenses of the change, I can see no objections to it."

HOME k CO PENH AVENUE STORES. ing Is here in earnest, and every department of our store is in readiness for it. You may have been in the store many times already, struggling with the idea of what to buy for Christmas, and yet have not fully realized just how com plete the preparations here have been for this busy season. Here are some facts; a bird's- eye view of the big' -store Christmas readiness: in As you enter the door where most of our customers do, on the right hand, you see a long counter with a large staff of wide-awake-salespeople to min ister to your wants. You find there a thousand and one things besides pins, buttons and needles. There are silver thimbles, gold thimbles, needle cases, shining,, sharp scissors, mani cure sets, brushes and combs of various sorts, beginning with the low priced ones. There are hand-mirrors, cloth brushes, nail brushes and a host of whisk brooms, and a host of pretty emory bags, and a host of other little things, many of which will come in with useful handiness at any time, and will help you now to solve the problem ''What to buy." Rightacross from this comes the 15, Which is by all means one of the wide-awake Departments of the store. There is everything in way of feather trimming feather boas, which, by the and the way, are selling at J-prices now. Besides trimmings of all sorts to go with the Dress Pattern you are going to give. Next, filling a large space in the center of the store, and the nearby counters, comes the Department, the truly Christ mas Department, and a pop ular one it is; filled with more pretty things than were ever brought together here before, at prices that suit every size of pocketbooks. There are leather goods, pocketbooks and all that sort of thing. There are fancy Satin and Kid Knick Knacks, wonderfully pretty, with their hand-painted designs, of very artistic character. There are plated silver and Solid silver novelties without end.

Here, too, comes the enor mous stock of Ladies' and Children's Many of them handsomerthan anything we ever had to show you. There are presents m this department, as you see in this hurried look, for the last ar rival or the great Grandparent. That is why we say this is the leading Holiday Department of these stores. Everything gay and new and nothing is anchored with a heavy price. Next comes some of the useful and particularly femi nine departments like I Hon Buy Tie Of these it is enough to say that each year, more and more, the practical buyers here find just what they want to give. Farther back is another busy place, the JOS. HORNE & CO: 10. 189L' JOS. HORKE & CO. Departments. Every shade, sort and kind of Ribbon is be ing cut off here every day, and an enormous stock of Ladies' and Children's Hats and Bon nets,' untrimmed and trimmed, are very interesting just now, because on them all we have made extremely low prices. Also one of the handsomest displays of the store is right "' Mj Ms. Made for us in Paris, any one of which will add much to the brightness of the home wherein it may go. Turning to the left Ave come to the Department, where there are many, many things calculated to make the feminine heart happy. Real Laces, Duchesse, Pointe and Valenciennes, the jewels of this stock, which by their fineness and elegance enhance the beauty of the finest toilet.

Then there are Lace Toilet Setts, and Tidies and Mats and Pin Cushion Covers and a myriad of other pretty dainty things, suitable to give. Next comes the House keepers' Department: You wouldn't see more if you went to Belfast, where so many of the handsome Linens come from, because so many of the best makes of Belfast and Dunfermline and of France and Germany as well are all found here fully represented. There are plain every day Linens by the yard, and fine ones, too. There are real elegant Dinner Cloths and Napkins to match, and some in pretty boxes to give them a special Holiday look. ' There is a host of odd pieces in the way of Tray Cloths, Table Covers and other pieces, some of them Embroidered and or namented with Drawn Wprk and other fancies that delight the eye of the initiated. There are the finest Linens here that the loom can furnish. There are many Ladies in these cities who haven't any idea of how many things are made in Linens, but there is no excuse for not knowing when they have but to come to this Linen Department to learn. In passing would say that the low prices on our L Make them especially attrac tive during this busy buying season. Another' department that appeals to the practical Christ mas buyer is near at hand. The latter filled with cotton or fluffy down Feathers soft and warm. A big variety of both, at the lowest possible prices. Here, in this other Housekeepers' Department, also, are lovely White Counterpanes.
