DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Three Persons Run Down by a LocOm0

Three Persons Run Down by Locomo-
tive on a Bridge at Pittsfield, Mass.
PITTsFIELD, August 1.-THE details Of
the sad accident on the Housatonc River
Railroad bridge below this town Saturday
evening are peculiarly distressing. James
Carney, Mary and Bridget Granger, and
John Norton were returning from fire.
mans picnic, and hadjust passed on to the
bridge as the engineer of the last up train
had started to run his machine across to the
engine house beyond The engineer felt the
jar as he struck the quartette and returned
to the spot as soon as possible.
The two men were dead, but Mary
Granger, with both legs cut entirely off
above the knees and her left arm severed at
the elbow, was alive and conscious She
was at once taken to the Burbank House.
She was even then perfectly clear in her
mind and told the story of the accident.
She said: 1--WE did not see the engine
backing upon us until it had struck the end
of the bridge. Carney was about
in the center, and Mr.. Norton and
/ just ahead of him, while
Bridget was few feet ahead of u.s. When
we heard the engine we ran as fast as we
could heard Carney scream and knew he
had got under the wheels. Ben had in the
meanwhile got behind me and was pushing
me along on the marrow plank walk as fast
as he could. Another moment and his hand
fell away from me and knew that he, too,
had been crushed. By this time I was with
in foot of the end of the bridge, but just
as went to jump from between the rails
the engine wheels caught my dress and
felt numbness in my legs and arms. did
not know that had been so badly hurt.
The young woman Hinged in agony for about
ten minutes when she expired. No attempt
at surgery was made as it was known that
such would only hasten dissolution. Norton
and Mary Granger were engaged to be mar
ried. Bridget Granger, who barely es-
cared by jumping is completely Frustrated.

story where he left off, and said that he and
Preller had had boisterous time together;
that after night of it Preller was sick, and
that he had at first administered hypoder-
mic injections of morphia. They had not
acted and then the choroform was brought
into play. 1t was only used to allay great
suffering on the part of Preller. When the
drug had produced death Maxwell became
alarmed
1t is believed that after dosing his friend
in perhaps friendly way at first the idea
of murder later entered his head, and the
chloroform was used with deadly intent
The motive of murder would, of course,
be the money and jewelry which Preller
had on his person. Maxwell acknowledged
that he had over $1,000 on his person the
nighthe left st. Louis. He told Tracy and
all the rest this, but besides the money he
took Preller's diamonds with him, and
these were found on his person in Auck-
land.
When asked about the other property
found in his trunk at Auckland, and later
identified as the property of Preller, he
asked that the subject be changed, and,
while willing to explain the accidental MUIR
dering of his friend, he was not willing to
explain the subsequent theft of his friend 8
goods.
The body of G. A. Preller was exhumed
at Bellefontaine Cemetery Saturday, and
was found to be in as good a state of
preservation as when inferred in April. 1t
was exhumed for the purpose of discover
ing it it could be identified by Alfred
Preller. The latter has been cabled to
come on to st. Louis.

A Double Tragedy at Bermuda.

HALIFAX, Aug. 1S.-The officers OF the

particulars of a terrible tragedy enacted a
few days before the vessels departure. 4
Branch pilot named Pitcher, who was des-
perately jealous of a girl named Clementina,
murdered her by cutting her throat from
ear to ear, and before he could be arrested
escaped to his schooner, which was an
chored short distance from shore. After
reaching the boat he coolIy made arrange
mentS, in full view of those on shore, to
commit suicide by drowning. He fastened
one hundred-pound weight to the end of

which he adjusted and frightened about his
neck, and, pushing the weight overheard,
jumped into the sea.
