MRS. sOUTHWORTH's STORY.
The Woman Who Shot Major Pettus Is
said to BE Insane.

The Woman who Shot Major Pettus Is
said to BE Insane.
Mrs. Hannah S. Southworth, who killed
Stephen L. Pettus in New York yester-
day, passed very restless night in the
Tomps. She was little improved this
morning. Warden Osborne refuses to
allow anyone except her counsel and re-
latiyes.
Lawyer Abe Hummel stated today,
after he came out of the Tombs, that the
defence would be insanity. He said there
was no doubt but that the woman was in
sane. He said she talked q little inco-
herently today.
She is very intelligent woman, he
said, and has written a very clear state
ment of her case, recounting the wrongs
alleged to have been done on her by
Peters. This statement she has given to
her counsel, and it will be of great value
to them in preparing her defense.
An attempt was made by some persons
to connect Mrs. Southworth with an
elopement case in Auburn about two
years ago Mr. Hummel said emphati-
cally today that his client did not figure
in any such elopement case. He had her
whole history, and he was positive that
she never eloped from Auburn

Colonist Sleepers.

The Union Pacific railway, also known
as The Overland Route, has lately added
to it's service number of new cars
(which by the way are built by the World
famous Pullman Company entitled Colo
mist Sleepers, and which for convenience
and comfort are but little behind the
handsome Pullman Palace Car. Thecar
are designed for the use and comfort OF
the Colonist, who with his family intend
moving west to grow up with the conn-
try.
The only difference between these cars
and the regular first class Pullman is that
the Colonist sleeper is not upholstered.
There are fourteen sections in each car,
and separate toilet rooms for ladies and
gentlemen. At night, by means of slid
ing head boards and heavy damask cur
tains, as much privacy is secured as If in
the regular frst-class sleeper. Plenty of
fresh, clean towels and & good supply of
water are also to be found. A uniformed
porter accompanies each car to look after
the comfort and attend to the wants Of the
passengers, and no smoking is allowed.
1t certainly seems that for cheap and
commodious sleeping accommodations,
while travelling, these cars cannot De eN-
