Suicide of Aged Couple.
 BELLOWS FALLS, Oct. 2S.-This community was startled this afternoon when it became known that Mr. and Mrs. Cook, husband and wife, had been found dead in their house about an eighth of mile from the business portion of the town. neighbor who had seen nothing of the Cooks during the morn ing looked in at one of the windows and saw MT. Cook lying on the sofa and Mrs. Cook on the floor beside the sofa. The authorities were at once notified and an investigation began The bodies were warm and had evil dently been dead only few hours. The Cooks were an eccentric couple and were greatly troubled with financial matters. At first it was supposed that double murder had been committed, but it is now generally believed that Mrs. Cook poisoned her husband and subsequently committed suicide. letter was found in Mrs. Cooks handwriting in structing neighbor how to dispose of the property MT. Cook was sixtyone years old and has been thought to be insane for seve- ral years. He was once in the insane asylum at Brattleboro Mrs. Cook was ten years younger and has been growing insane for some time The coroner began an inquest, but postponed it till tomorrow till the arri- val of their son George. who lives in Haver- hill Mass

gallows were erected on hill near the town
 and some time before the hour fixed for the
 execution it was surrounded by crowd of morbid minded persons who waited for that terrible scene which was to be the last in the murderer's life as for an exciting show. Among the crowd were many negroes who focked from the plantations in the neighbor- hood as to circus. Many had their lunch baskets with them, ate and drank and crack ed jokes about the gibbet while waiting for the appearance of the sheriff and the con demned man. When the latter appeared he advanced with firm step and showed no sign of weakening as he mounted the gallows Not few in the immense throng that sur rounded him seemed more affected than he. He remained firm to the last. A few minutes after he was launched into eternity the body was pronounced dead and was cut down and the large gathering dispersed.

Connecting Chicago With New York
 The Running Time Shortened by Ten
 Hours.
 NEW YORK, Oct 28.-One outgrowth of the railroad war which seems to be approach ing an end is the announcement by the Penn sylvania road of their intention to put on new fast Chicago train which will leave New York on it's initial trip next Monday. The special feature of this train is that the time to Chicago is to be very much shortened, the train leaving New York at o'clock in the morning and reaching Chicago at $40 the next morning thereby making the time be- tween the two cities little less than twen- ty. six hours, as against thirty six hours time now made by the Pacific express on the Pennsylvania railroad, hitherto the fast Chi cago train out of New York. The accommo- dations on this train will be limited, or in other words there will be only such a num- Der of cars in the train as can be handled with certainty of making the running time By this arrangement all chance of detention to the train by adding cars at any point will be overcome. ''The Chicago Limited,'' as this train is called, will be composed of par Tor, sleeping and dining coaches only, and none but passengers for Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, Chicago and points beyond will be carried on it. Between New York and Pittsburg the schedule only pro- v1des for three stops for the train. Break fast will be served immediately after the train leaves Jersey City, dinner after leaving Harrisburg, which will be about l o'clock supper at 6 o'clock before reaching Pitts burg and breakfast the following morning before the passengers reach Chicago. The railroad company, with the idea of making this feature of the trip mere than ordinary attraction, promise an elaborate bill of fare and have placed the price of each meal at seventy cents. All through tickets that are good for frst-class passage will be honored | on this train, but there will be an extra ! charge for seats in the cars, the rates be- | ing $2 to Harrisburg, $4 to Pittsburg, $s to | Fort Wayne and $S to Chicago
