Her Fatal Mistake.

FREEPoRT. Pa, March 25.-Saturday
night two young girls named Mary Cot
tic and Miss klingensmith, both of Ma
trona, accompanied by an unknown
man, boarded the Blairsvilie accommo-
dation train at Avenue Station. They
remained OF the rea platform of the
last car, thinking to escape detection.
The conductor saw them, opened the
door, and asked them tocome inside the
car. Miss Cottle became frightened,
thinking the conductor was going to
put them off, and jumped from the car.
The train was going at a high rate of
speed at the time, and ran for some
distance before it could be stopped. A
search was at once instituted, and the
trainmen found the girl lying about
fifty rods back, with her neck broken.
The young man disappeared shortly
after the train started, and his name
could not be learned.
