collision was caused by mistake in the
orders, the west Bound train having orders
to meet the east bound train at point west
of Bolton and the east bound having orders
naming point east of Bolton as the place
of meeting. The engineer of the west bound
train jumped off and escaped unhurt. En-

AN ILLINOIS DORGIA. s.
ST.. LOUIS, OCT. 1.-THE Tunes Journal
has special from Lebanon, st. Clair county,
Illinois, which says Mrs. Alice Danbrough,
living about three miles south of that place,
was arrested few days ago on the charge of
poisoning her husband, Thomas Danbrough,
and his brother, George Danbrough. The
circumstances, so far as now known, are that
Danbrough and his wife and two children,
and his brother George lived together in
apparent harmony. George was industrious,
miserly and was supposed to have some
money. Sixteen months ago he died sud-
denly, but nothing particular was thought of
it and the event was soon forgotten.
About nine months ago Thomas Danbrough
also died very suddenly. Suspicious were
aroused that all was not right and post
mortem was demanded by friends but Mrs.
Danbrough objected so strongly to having
her husbands body mutiiated and seemingly
suffered so much grief at his death that the
examination was waived and the circum.
stance passed out of mind. Some days ago
Mrs. Danbrough went toLebanon and en-
tered charge of rape against George Lis
ton, of East st. Louis, who she testified
came to her house with.a drawn knife and
pistol and demanded the qualification of his
lust and compelled her toyield to his wishes.
Liston retaliated for this charge by stating
he had q letter which would prove
Mrs. Danbrough had poisoned her husband
and brother-in-law. This letter was
subsequently obtained by Detectives Upton
and HARRISON and proved to be from John
Freeland, of East st. Louis, a brother of
Mrs. Danbrough, and threatened to expose
the poisoning of the two men if she did not
send him $50. Freeland was Immediately
arrested, and he and Liston and Mrs. Dam
brough are now in BelIeville Jail. The
grand jury of st. Clair county is now inves-
tigating the matter. It is said Mrs. Dan
brough has admitted the sact of poisoning,
having given her husband arsenic and laud-
anum and her brother-in-law strychnine. 1t
is also stated that Mrs. Danbrough had con-
templated numbering a Mrs. Mcleod, q
neighbor, so that she might marry her hus-
band, but this latter statement is not fully
corroborated.
