Other Race. XKVl' YORK, Aug-. 31. Imagine an oval belt of solid, yet springy dirt one mile In circumference, lying close within the hollow of a high board fence that bounds one end and both sides. See where the brown circles it is mottled In spots by the shadows of inquisitive tree tops that bend ia a fresh breeze to peer ever the high barrier. High at orie end of the easy ellipse, build up in the mind's eye a hasdsome club house, broad verandas, bright awnings and roomy reaches of wing and attic. Let the spacious club house bloom with the varied costumes of happy women, people the sweeping green sward about with the private vehicles loaded with more beautiful women and more or less handsome men, see near by a monster grand stand, with Its weatherbeaten back to tha afternoon sun, fill it with a bank of expectant faces, Infusa into your lungs a crispy atmosphere of stereoscopic clearness, push back your bonnnet (man or woman), and feel the touch of the autumn sunshine Just growing wistful of its waning power, behold within the smooth and mottled oval of dirt track a field of greenness, with here and there a sullen rock thrusting up its brown head to seo what it is all about see all these things, do them, feel them, and you have the situation as it existed at the old Fleetwood trotting course on the outskirts of this town this afternoon. Come to See Xaney. And what was it all about? "Why the peopl-?, the hum of whose jollity floated out to tempt the ear of the curious rocks in the center field and what saw the curious trees that nodded and watched over the high fence seeing all without having paid an entrance fee? They saw the glory of old Fleetwood revived. They saw a phoenix. They saw, not a race of running, which any nag can do better or worse, but a contest of repressed energy of trained movement, of skilled and Intense action. They saw clean, straightaway and level trotting at great speed, which not every nag can do. Had it not gone forth that the homespun, but noble Nancy she whose surname is Hanks would tread the oval dirt belt to exceed, if possible, the greatest speed of all the havebeens on that memorable track within the shadows of suburban woods? Aye. So? S had gone forth the word and the conditions were pronounced good by the men with plaM '- coats, who lounged about the M-.bles rather than amon? the throngs of gaily caparisoned women. By noon the club house and piazzas were filled and the grand stand had a substantial nucleus of stockholders and their friends, who have the enviable right to sit under its Eb.ad.ow. An hour later the trains emptied themselves like coal chutes and the dusty lanes of Melrose were alive with men and womrn with but one idea to get there. The accommodations at. Fleetwood are none too great for such a crowd. Not only were the boards quickly occupied, but all the grassy banks, which are a feature of the park, were covered. As soon as the park was reached there was a general rush fcr Nancy Hanks' stall. But not so. The famous lady was "not to feed the hungry stare of a crowd." She was having her dainty metal slippers attended to by a grimy valet at a neighboring forge. Greeting: to the More. But finally the glossily attired lady strode forth for her effort to entertain a throng of metropolitan visitors. Every one of the thousands present arose and greeted her with voice and hands. As the crowds pu?hed to the front It was apparent to all that Fleetwood park had never before, not for many years at least, held such a large and fashionable gathering. Handsome and strikingly attired women mingled everywhere with wealthy patrons of the turf and prosperous club men from New York and other neighboring cities. The inclesure was lined with drags and vehicles of every description, and all these were occupied by fashion's devotees. Doble drove up to the Judge's stand, where he stopped a moment and then walked the Queen of the Turf slowly up to the starting post. While he was doing this President McKane rang the gong, and as soon as oulet had been secured arose and said: "Gentlemen. Mr. Walker wishes me to Introduce Nancy Hanks to you, who will try to beat the track record of 2:034." The track was then put Into shape, while Nancy exercised. Baron Salvi of Italy, deputized by his government to investigate the trotting In the United States, was an eager spectator In the Judges stand. The tree shadows had lengthened until they lay across the Inner field, when the great mare Jaunted down the track to get a start for her mile dash against the track's best previous record of 2:09. At the Start. Suddenly down by the distance pole she wheeled about, and thrusting forth her nose, she began picking up her feet and putting them down again with Increasing speed. Fhe was not on parade any more. She had business to attend to and she went about It without any nonsense. She lengthened and squatted a hand or two from her usual hight. She was getting speed. Up the stretch she came with a rushing tatt of her Iron slippers upon the moist dirt, and at a minute after 4 o'clock she plunged under the wire in front of the judges. Loitering on the outer rim cf the track at the upper turn a horse had been waiting to run after Nancy and make her think she must hustle fast or be overtaken. But she shot past him as if he had been tied to a post. She sped around the turn at a ferocious pace and the thousands veiled. Through the quarter she sped. lowering her pace but a trifle. Toward the end of the three-quarters the running horse ran upon her and spurred her on Into the stretch. At the beginning of the stretch Doble lay back In his seat and let the great mare out to ber full syieocl. She swept Into the straight for home with a pace that was titanic. Her movement was a poem In great action. Fore-shortened by the dlsUn.ca. she seemed bounding straight at

the walön-g throngs at the finish. The delicate legs shot forth and receded like Dlston bars and there came to the eyes of the watchers an occasional glint of waning sunlight on her steel shoes. At the Finish. On she hurried. She was near enough so that the patter of her feet could be heard. Then the eye could see the red of her nostrils and the pink rims of her eager eyes. Next was heard, but only for a flashing moment, the quick exhaustion of her magnificent lungs and then she flew past the stand and under the wire while the crowd waited silently to see and know the result. Doble stopped her at the turn and then returned to be weighed in with every eye fastened upon him. Starter "Walker arose to announce the time. "Nancv Hanks," he said, "first quarter :31V$. half 1:02, three-quarters 1:34. and the mile, gentlemen. In 2:06." As soon as the last words fell from his lips a tremendous roar of applause rolled over the grounds. Nancy Hanks lowered the track record by just three seconds and her reward was $5,000.

ENDS HIS OWN UFE

Suicide of Dr. T. Thatcher Graves at Denver, Charged with the Poisoning of Mrs. Barnaby. FOUND DEAD IN HIS CELL Being Confined In Jail Awaiting a Rehearing. Was to Have Been Tried Again for the Alleged Murder. The Determination by the County to Prosecute Him Again Is Doubtless What Causes Illm to Take Ills Life Letters Which the Deceased Left Bearing? on the Cuse and the Treatment lie Kecrlved A Denial That He Committed Suicide. DENVER, Sept. 3. The famous murder case of Dr. T. Thatcher Graves, formerly of Providence, R. I., has at last been settled. The doctor was found dead In his cell at the county Jail about 9 o'clock this morning, where he was awaiting a rehearing on the charge of having poisoned Mrs. Josephine Barnaby, a wealthy widow, also of Providence. The poisoning is said to have been done to cover up Dr. Graves's alleged defalcation as manager of Mrs. Barnaby's estate. Although no autopsy has yet been held on his body, it is known that the doctor took his own life, using morphine to effect his end. In a satchel in the doctor's cell were found five letters, the first one having been written on Aug. 9, last, showing that his suicide had been contemplated since then. The following 13 the first letter opened: "DENVER. COL.. Aug. 9, 1893. "To the Coroner of Denver, Col.: "Dear Sir Please do not hold an autopsy on my remains. The cause of my death may be rendered as follows: Died from persecution. Worn out. Exhausted. Yours respectfully, "T. THATCHER GRAVES, M. D." The last letter is directed to Capt. Crews, the Jailer of the county Jail, and is full of bitterness to County Attorney I. N. Stevens, who secured Dr. Graves's conviction In the first trial and has been working hard to again have him convicted. It is as follows: "Aug. 25, 1893. "It would keep a man busy to follow Stevens and stop the lies which he unblushlngly peddles out to the papers. One or two, however, need attention and are easily proven to be lies. I was a member of the Massachusetts 6 täte medical society, also the Connecticut state medical society. I never made application to the Rhode Island state medical society for admission. "My lawyers have the full receipts showing that I never wronged the estate of Mrs. Barnaby, and that the estate now owes me, outside of the legacy by will. The public see what I have to expect from the villainous, cowardly falsehoods of Stevens. I can not expend more money fighting him. I must take the only means to prove it for my wife and dear, honored, aged mother. "T. THATCHER GRAVES." A Denial of Suicide. Notwithstanding the above letter, Capt. Crews In an interview Indignantly denies that Dr. Grave committed suicide. He says that the doctor died of a broken heart and to use the captain's words, "was murdered by the attorneys for the state, who have harassed the old man to death." The three other letters were 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 and Is a review of his case. In which he censures the court, the Jury and the prosecuting attorney. The closing words are: . "Allow me to repeat that which I have always said publicly and privately: "Upon my solemn masonic oath, I, T. Thatcher Graves, did not have anything to do In any way, shape, manner, nor deed with the death of Mrs. Barnaby. I write this knowing what the future will soon have in store for me. The people will believe, pity and sympathize with me. They will know that even the strongest man can be beaten down by a cyclone of filth, mud and persecution." Mrs. Dr. Graves was informed of her husband's death shortly before noon and for a time was almost crazed with grief. When she regained her composure she went to the county Jail, but the dead body had been removed to the coroner's office. The sight of the cell so agitated her that the friends of Mrs. Graves decided it would not be best for her to view the doctor's remains at present. She then returned to her home and is now being cared for by sympathizing friends. Notwithstanding Dr. Graves's request Cut this out and send to THE Sent by. Postoffice County.

that no autopsy be held upon his body, a rigid examination Into the cause of: his death will take place tonight. The Alleged 3Iurder. As is well known Dr. Graves was In prison awaiting his second trial for the alleged murder of Mrs. Josephine Barnaby of Providence, who, at the time of her death, was visiting friends in Denver. She died April 13. 1891. On April 9, she drank from a bottle of whisky that had come by mall from Boston and that was labeled "Wish you a happy New Year. Please accept thi3 fine old whisky from your friends In the woods." The whisky contained a solution of arsenic. Dr. Graves was accused of sending the bottle. After one of the most famous trials in the criminal annals of this country. Dr. Graves was convicted of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to be hanged. The supreme court granted him a new trial, which was to have begun the latter part of this month. On Aug. 9 of this year Commissioner Twombley and County Attorney Stevens visited Rhode Island and other places in search of new evidence, the county of Arapahoe having objected to paying the expenses of a new trial in the doctor's case unless stronger and more direct testimony could be produced to show that Dr. Graves was guilty. Messrs. Twombley and Stevens returned a short time ago, and although It W? not known what they discovered on their eastern trip, it is a significant fact that at a meeting of the county board yesterdxy $3,000 was appropriated to prosecute the doctor again on the charge of murder. What Prorapied the Sotclde. Dr. Graves befoi his death said tha he was penniless an I thought it no more than right that if the county paid the costs of his prosecution it should also be willing to appropriate enough to enable him to defend himself. He had not, however, made any such request and of course It cannot now be said how it would have been answered by the commissioners. Yesterday's decision of the county board to prosecute him undoubtedly prompted the deal man to put Into effect his idea of puicide. which it is plain he had been contemplating for some time. The Hon. Thomas M. Macon, the attorney who defended Dr. Graves during his trial and has stood by him since, Is out of the city and no interview can be had with him tonight. The State's Case. I. N. Stevens, county attorney, who was district attorney at the time Dr. Graves was tried and convicted, was seen tonight and made a statement in which he said that the state was prepared to show mor fully than at the former trial, the transfer of $10,000 from Mrs. Barnaby's account to the doctor's own bank and to his credit at about the same time the bottle of poison arrived in Denver. The state was also prepared to show by chocks and other papers the full financial transactions between the doctor and Mrs. Barnaby, as well as other evidence of a very damaging character.

VIENNA, Aug. 29. Cholera has appeared In Vienna. This Is confirmed by the physicans who examined the body of a workman who died yesterday, they certifying that there was no doubt that his death was caused by cholera, A dispatch received this evening from Buda Pesth says that 143 new cases and seventy-eight deaths from cholera were reported in eighteen counties of Hungary during the past twenty-four hours. PARIS, Aug. 29. An epidemic of cholera has been raging at Nantes during the past two weeks. As many as twentyfive cases have been reported in one day and 50 per cenL of the persons attacked have died. The number of patients is now decreasing, but there are still thirtyfive cases under treatment. It is not certain whether the milady is Asiatic cholera and the government has sent a specialist to make an examination. GENOA, Aug. 29. Twenty new cases of cholera and eight deaths were reported here today. ROME, Aug. 29. Naples was declared free from cholera today. One case of cholera and two deaths have been reported at Salerno and three deaths at Cassino. Simple Treatment for Headache. Percussion of the cranium, just as is done for the chest to ascertain whether there is any apparent material lesion, is recommended by M. Doutdouki of Moscow for headache. The percussion must be made lightly, says the European edition of the New York Herald, and without producing any disagreeable sensation, but increasing gradually the intensity of the taps. In this way a sort of vibratory massage is administrated which removes the distressing symptom. It is evident that this relief can only be momentary and that the cause must be discovered in order to be sure to cure the headache. The same means is efficacious In muscular pain in nervous, impressionable people. It is at any rate easy to try. and. according to the old saying, can't do any harm, even if it don't cure. This method of treatment has succeeded in Dr. Doutdouki's hands whenever there was no material cause for headache. Vulcan, the God of Fire.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 3. Tonight at 6 o'clock on the electric railway from Avondale to Cincinnati, all the brakes of an Incoming train of two cars gave way simultaneously. The motorman, when the brakes failed, tried to reverse the wheels, but the wires of the controller burnt off, and the conductor, motorman and forty-five passengers were at the mercy of that wild train. Faster and faster It sped. A chorus of shrieks made the air dismal. Now and then a passenger dropped out on the stony street. At the half mile from the starting point the speed was thirty miles an hour. Swifter and swifter sped the fated cars. Louder and more despairing grew the screams. Around the great bend the train sped at fifty miles an hour with speed accelerating every second. Into Broadway it dashed at seventy mile an hour. Tearing across the street It struck a big cedar telegrap pole, out of the lower part of which It cut a log where the platform and the top of the car struck the pole. After cutting through the pole the great iron frame of the car went away and struck a big door post In the building at the corner, split upon it and thust half the length of the car into the building. One is already known to be dead. Eighteen are in the hospital and searchers are out along that mile and a quarter trying to learn the fate of those strewn along the road. Killed: MAMIE NAIREN, aged thirteen. Fatally Injured: LOUISA EARIIART, aged six. LOUISA BECKLEY, skull fractured, spine Injured. MARY MAHONEY, aged forty, skull fractured.

The body of a young man named Hamoorough was found on the Ardlamont estate, near Lochein, in the county of Argyll, on the 10th Inst. Hamborough was an American and was the son, it is reported, of a very rich resident of the United States. lie had been rabbit shooting on the Ardlamont estate and his body was found lying near a ditch on the property. He had been shot in the head, and his gun, which had been discharged, .was on the ground beside him. It was supposed that the wound in his head had either been self-inflicted or that it was the result of accident, it being thought likely that while he was carrying his gun at full cock, he stumbled and the piece was discharged. But these theories did not satisfy the young man's friends and detectives were put on the case. After neariy three weeks of diligent work, these men have secured enough evidence to warrant them in declaring that a murder had been committed. Not only that, but they feel confident that they know the persons who were concerned in the crime. They were two in number, they say, and one of them was idaeed In custody today. His name is Monson and he is a tenant on the Ardlamont estate, where Hamborough made his acquaintance. The other suspected man is Edward Scott, a sailor, who was employed on Hamborouerh's yacht. He has disappeared. The detectives claim that the motive for the murder was a desire for gain. They say they have discovered that Hamborough had insured his life for $50,000 in an American company and had assigned the policy to Monson. It was with the hope of obtaining the Insurance money, they allege, that the murder was committed by Monson with the aid of the sailor, Scott. The body of Hamborough, which was taken to the Isle of Wight, where his parents were staying, will be exhumed. The arrest of Monson and the statement made by the detectives have caused considerable excitement. A Dine Earth. "If you could stand on the moon," so an astronomer is quoted, "the earth would appear to you to be sixty-four times larger than the sun appears to the residents of this mundane sphere this because the earth has eight times the diameter of the moon, therefore she must necessarily show the moonltes sixty-four times as much surface as the moon showe us. The sun, on the other hand, would appear no larger to you from your observatory on the moon than It does from our globe. The earth's atmosphere being blue, It has been decided that the earth must appear as a blue ball to the outside on-lookers. What a glorious sight It must be to our lunarian neighbors to look upon a bright, blue, swift-revolving ball elxty-four times larger than the sun! Lemon Pie.
