RAILROAD ACCIDENT The No.
2 night express west, on the B. and
o. railroad, consisting of a freight
car, baggage car, three passenger
coaches and two sleepers was COM
pletely wrecked Saturday night at a
point three miles east of this place.
The train was running at about
forty-five miles an hour when the
engine jumped the track, from some
unknown cause, dragging the entire
train, except the sleepers, after it.
The baggage and freight cars were
crushed, and the second passenger
coach was telescoped by the one next
TO it, and both smashed to pieces.
A large number of passengers were
aboard. and one coach was filled
with United States soldiers. Not.
withstanding the complete wreck of
the cars, but two persons were hurt.
one of these a deserter who was
handcuffed, but neither seriously.
1t was miraculous escape. The
cause of the accident cannot be de.
termined. The track was new and
in complete repair, and the machin-
cry of the engine was perfect. Capt.
Landers, the agent here, had all the
passengers brought to this place and
comfortably cared for until they
cauld resume their journey. A large
number of citizens of this place Wis
tied the wreck on Sunday. The run
ming of trains was delayed but a
short time in consequence of the
wreck.

A FEMALE BURGLAR.
Great Excitement In a New York
village.
Rufalo IN. " Dispateh.

The village OF FredOnia, ChsutauQua
county, has been thrown into q state Of eK-
element by the arrest Of two young persons
charged with committing a series Of bur-
glaries. The former residence of Mr.. L. H.
Taylor, now a resident OF Delaware avenue,
Buffalo, has been closed for the past year
on account OF the death of Mrs. Taylor.
Mrs. Taylor's sister-in-law, Miss frankie
Thomas, Ow his housekeePer, went to Ere
dOnis about six months ago to
secure some of the household Srti-
cles for removal to Buffalo, but on
entering the house she discovered that many
things had been stolen. Without ascertain
ing the where's bouts Of the goods or getting
a clue to the thieves, Miss Thomas left the
village ard did not return till last week.
While she was there Miss Ella Cummings,
pretty and accomplished woman of about
thirty years, was charged with shoplifting,
and the stolen goods were found in her pos
session. Suspicion pointed 20 her as the
robber Of the Taylor house. The Deputy
Sheriff secured a search warrant, and after
an examination Of the lady's home he found
the goods secreted in different places TO
avoid detection.
Miss Cummings was arrested and con-
fessed her guilt. She alleged that George
Lockwood, employed bF Messrs. Arend 81
Morgan, Of Buffalo, was Der accOmplice.
Deputy Sheriff Lake proceeded to Buffalo
and, in company with Detective Battel, ar
rested the young man and took him to
FredOnia. He also confessed. Miss Cum
mings, be claimed, stole the articles, and
ne helped carry them away. The goods
consisted of fancy silk dresses purchased
in France, silver and china tea sets,
etc, amounting in value to $1,000. Miss
Cummings is good-oOking highly-edu-
Gated young lady, beiug graduate OF and
formerly a teacher in the State Normal
School, of FredOnia. She retains her usual
eomposure, End claims thai she was in
spired TO commit the different offenses, and
that she Is not responsible for the crimes,
as she was the agent of an irresistible power
and cannot be convicted. u has been
learned that she Is strong advocate and
believer in Spiritualism, and claims that
she has frequently received eOmmunica-
tions from the spirit world. Lockwood is
about twenty years old. He has been looked
upon, It is said, as an exempt ~ young
man, and was highly respected until his
arrest. he now possesses the sympathy of
the community, as it is generally believed
he has been the victim OF deception. The
prisoners were admitted TO bail in the sum
Of 81 200 to await the action Of the grand
jury. Mr.. Taylor says he will prosecute the
pair to the full extent Of the law.
