Horrible Superstition IN an Obscure Hebrew
SettIement-A Jewess, Deserted by Her
Husband, Cremates Herself and Her Fam
lily.
ATLANTIC CRY, n. J Aug. NO one Of
the horrors which occasionally crop out in the
interior Of New jersey has been more wrap
ped in mystery than the cremation Of wo-
man and her two children last Friday night
at Estellville, six miles below Nays Landing,
the County seat OF Atlantic County, and
eighteen miles from this place. The facts
became known yesterday at the railway Sta
ton at Mays Landing, thirty hours after the
tragedy had occurred. It took
place IN a settlement Of thirty-seven
families OF Russian Jews, who were
colonized at Estellvills year ago By General
Burbridge From midnight until Sunday
morning the fortunes OF the mother and her
daughter seem TO have been hushed up
among these people Yesterday morning
group of them appeared at the station with
a wagon, in which lay woman aud glrl.
Both were burned almost beyond recogni-
ticn, ana 1t was ascertained that the purpose
of their compatriots Yves TO take them 10 a
Philadelphia Hospital. Although none OF
the party would or could speak English, ii
was finally learned that on Friday at mid
night awful strieks had been heard fro the
small frame cabin occupied by the vile aad
children of Ivan NJ. LOtoWske. The hu haad
had either deserted his family or wandered
away ia search of work. The Gao
wss found TO be in flames. When the
DeighboTs reached the cabin the arms aud
legs bad been burned off a six-year-oid sou
of the woman. The mother was rolling in
sgoDy in the sand and an eight-ye2r-o'd
daughter was so dreadfully burned that she
was unconscious. The mother was b3su !
ful-woman, about twenty-eight years of age.
Her long black hsir was singed over her
shoulders, and her eyes were fixed in the
wild stare of delirium.
The neighbors will give no definite details
of the affair. Hints are thrown out by some
of The Hebrews that the woman sacrificed
herself and her family, while, again, 1t Is
said that her neighbors were unfriendly to
her After lying on the hard bench in the
railway station for seven hours on Sunday
morning the young girl died. The moth r
vas then removed to the house of Smith
Spence, where she now lies on the point OF
death. Thus far she has been unwilling or
unable to give the particulars of the burning :
Of her home.
