How an Insane Woman Undertook to
Throw the Cars from the rails.

Throw the Cars from the rails.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Geo. Latham, the
yard master of the +. 4 y. A. depot, Bangor,
notified Marshal Reed that a woman had been
placing distractions on the European North
American track for the purpose OF wrecking
any of the passing trains. Officers Wey-
mouth and Clark were at once despatched to
the spot where they found a Mrs. INLAND and
brought her down TO the station house. She
acted very strangely and told such peculiar
story that Mayor Brown was notified, and the
Board of Aldermen held a hearing Tuesday
afternoon, at which the relatives of the wom-
an were present.
1t appears that she came over to this cOun-
try from ireland about nine years ago and has
since been living here with her children.
Some time ago one of her sons went up
river to work on the dam and, knowing that
he went on the cars, she finally became pos
sessed of the idea that the railway officials
were responsible for his absence, and made
up her mind that she would have revenge.
II was her intention to wreck every train that
passed until the officials brought her boy
back She undertook to carry this into exc
cuton and placed some distractions on the
track Monday night. but as these were discov-
cred and removed she went down to the track
again Tuesday morning and placed another
lot on the rails, when she was reported at the
station house.
Her friends are of the opinion that if the
son should return she would become perfectly
sane again, as they say her mind is sound on
all other subjects, and have obtained permits
sion to take her to the Aims House until he
can arrive home when, if she does not i'm
prove, she will be taken to the Insane Asy-
ium in Augusta. Mrs. INLAND is now adj
vanced in years and has large family.
