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.

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.

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.

Several Big Tile railing Walls Kill
PnnrMen An Explosion Ends the Life
of Six Others.
LorisviLLB, De ft Since last evening
this citv has been the scene of a series of
disastrous fires, entailing a loss of life. In
the early evening the store and stock of the
Boone Paper Company were destroyed, en
tailing a loss of 535,000. At 2:35 o'clock
this morning an explosion occurred in the
adjoining buildinc, occupied by Bamberger,
Streng & Co. The shaky walls crumbled
and another fire began, which in compari
son made the other insignificant.
Before the fire was subdued the stores of
Bamberger. Streng & Co., Bliss, Wilson &
Co., Johan Boekc & Sons and Miller Wool
folk, Payne & Co. had been gutted. The
loss is estimated at 8290,000, and the insur
ance at 5200,000. While the firemen were
al work a wall of the Boone building fell,
killing four men and badly injuring four
others. The names of the dead are: Will
iam Moore, William Davis, Samuel Baker
and Tony Schlicht-
The disasters of the night were almost
lost to sight of when, at 9 o'clock this
morning, a terrible explosion occurred in
Menue & Co. 's candy and fireworks factory.
Five girls and a man were burned to death
and several other persons were badly in
jured. The names of the dead are: Charles
Kimmel, foreman, 30 years of age, unmar

Aarker. Anna Lockhart and Anna Dickev.
There was a crash of glass, and thousands
of firecrackers exploded, while countless
skyrockets and Roman candles flew in all
directions. A moment later a sheet of
flame burst from the windows.
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.

A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING.
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.

THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, '. THURSDAY. 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."

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. There
are Japanese oddities; there
are dolis; there are Vienna
and Paris fans; there are work
boxes and jewel boxes; there
are cigar boxes and sets.
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. These delicate
and dainty goods come in
various widths by the yard,
and also in separate pieces,
the most popular of which are
Handkerchiefs, all the grades,
from those of narrow edge of
val lace up to those worth a
half a hundred dollars of the
finest Pointe Lace.
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.
Next, we are right in the
midst of the Holiday Throng,
for here is the Ladies' and
Children's
Department. 60 feet of coun
ter covered with snowy-white
Handkerchiefs, some in fancy
half-dozen boxes, for Children,
some so fine there is but one
in a box. There are thou
sands of dozens of Handker
chiefs, f There are Embroid
ered and Hemstitched and
drawn work Handkerchiefs.
Oils
JOS. HORNE
JO A. IIORXK & CO.
There are Handkerchiefs of
Silk and of Linen and some of
Cotton and Linen. There are
Handkerchiefs from $i a dozen
to Handkerchiefs at $io apiece.
There are Mourning Hand
kerchiefs and Initial Handker
chiefs. All of them the best
handkerchiefs for the least
money, no matter what grade
you buy.
Now is the best time to buy
handkerchiefs, as later every
body wants to buy, and some
times somebody finds that some
body has been ahead of them
and bought just what they
wanted.
A few steps to the right from
here brings us toour Ladies'
and Children's
OH ai Si
Department A whole build
ing given up to this department;
well lighted, warm and com
fortable, and filled to overflow
ing with garments of Cloth and
Fur for ladies and children.
Enough to say that here is
everything new and desirable
for ladies' and children's outfits,
in the way of Wraps, Jackets,
Ulsters, Waterproof Circulars
and Ready-Made Costumes for
all occasions.
Also, Furs in all newest
shapes that fashion dictates,
such as
CAPES,
MANTLES,
JACKETS,
WRAPS.
As well-as our complete line
of Real Alaska Seal
Jackets,
Coats and
Wraps.
On the second floor in the
rear of this building the depart
ment for Children and Infants'
Wear. Complete outfit for in
fants, and, as well, dresses,
coats and jackets for misses and
children.
Everything is in full holiday
swing here, and no more sen
sible sort of buying can be done
than pleasingf the hearts of
children with nice new clothes.
Coming back to the main
room of the store we turn to
the
Department Here, too, are
manv of the useful sorts of
presents Calico Dress Pat
terns. Flannel Skirts, Embroid
ered Flannels of all sorts and
flannel of the best kinds made.
Money goes a longways in this
department
Going across the store we
find one entire front room de
voted to the wants of men and
boys in the way of
IS.
The goods brought together
here comprise one of the most
