AN OLD MANS AWFUL CRIME.
A SeptuaEenarfau Fatally Shoots His sOr
and His Daughter-fu-law.

A septuaEenarian Fatally Shoots His Son
and His Daughrer-in-law.
MIAMI, MAN, February 9.-Last night
terrible double tragedy occurred here,
John Morton and his wife, aged respec-
lively 50 and "a years, being shot in cold
blood by Morton's father, aged 70, who was
residing with them. John Morton was ab-
sent from his home yesterday, and during
his absence the old man and Mrs. Morton
had some angry words, which ended by
Morton striking his daughter-in-law with a
piece of wood. On the sons return he re-
buked the old man for his actions, where
upon the father said: "Do you see that rife?
I want you to take it down and shoot me or
1 will shoot you."
The old man then took down the rifle,
went outside and fired through the window,
instantly killing his son, the bullet entering
his heart. The hired man ran to a neighbor
for assistance, and during his absence Mrs.
Morton was shot in the abdomen by Morton.
She only lived for an hour. The old man
does not deny the crime and says he did it

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE p1sPATcH,1
COLUMBUS, O., February 9.-Miss Jen-
ME Whitehead. of Hamilton, O., a poor,
helpless imbecile, was scalded to death at
the State Institute for Feeble-Minded Youth
yesterday. Though the young lady was II
years old she was in stature and mental de-
velopment but a child. The accident was
caused by allowing an inmate to bathe Miss
Whitehead, when one of the attendants
should have attended to that duty. Super
intendent Doren, when he found that the
fatal accident had become known, appeared
to be more worried about that fact than the
death of one of the States poor unfortunate
creatures. Jennie was sent to this institu-
tion here from Hamilton in 1885, and she
could not walk alone and required the same
care as a babe. In speaking of the horrible
affair the superintendent of the institution,
DR.. Doren. said:
Her attendant was temporarily away and
Jennie was being cared for by one of the
larger and more intelligent inmates who had
assisted the attendant in the care of her
charges, and especially Of Jennie, for years.
in direct violation of the rules of the inStitu-
tion, which prohibits any inmate from drawing
water or bathing patients. This girl, whom,
household, proceeded to battle Jennie. The
little one made no complaint at the time iudi-
eating that the water was too warm, but after
the operation was over it was discovered that
she had been badly scalded. 1 was hastily
Summoned, and found that the scaldS were on
the feet the back. part of the limbs and the
hips. The burns, which were superficial, being
confined to the skin, were dressed, and Jennie
was soon seated on her little chair apparently
suffering no pain and playing contentedly with
her blocks. immediately wrote her brother
concerning the accident, expressing the hope
and belief that the injuries were not serious.
About o'clock, however, Jennie was seized
with convulsions and had five spasms which
greatly reduced her puDy strength. She after
ward slept till about 1l:30, but was wakeful
during the balance of the night, and this morn
ing about o'clock she was again seized with
the spasms and died. Her health was always
delicate and she has been having some stomach
trouble. The burns would not have been
serious to any one in vigorous health, but In
her case they caused complications which car
ried her off. The girl who bathed her is heart
broken. She had cared for her ever since she
came here and loved her dearly, and was jeal-

tends almost to the stage on either side, and
is built on the cantlever system. At the
rear the gallery runs back to the front of
the hall. The ceiling is 40 feet high at the
apex of the gradual arch, and the tracery
patterns on the walls merges into the plain
general tint with charming effect. Not one

being absolutely as good as another. The
acoustics are admirable. The grand organ

and will prove an unending source of de-
light to the thousands who will visit the
building. Remarkable among the embellish-
ments of the halls interior are the huge

AN AWFUL MISTAKE.

ing n FriRhtfnl Wreck-One Nun
Killed md Four Ipjured-NOrIh.
eFn Central Trains COM
pIeteIy Blockaded.
RRIsBURG, February 9.-An open
switch caused wreck on the Northern Cen
trail, near this city, this afternoon. At
Marsh's Run there is long siding and two
sections of freight train, running
ahead of the Pacific express due
here at o'clock, had orders to
lay upon the siding until the passenger
train had passed. The rear brakeman of
the first section left the switch open, think
ing the second section would follow, but in
stead it ran in upon another switch. Be-
fore the brakeman could remedy his mis-
take the passenger train rounded a curve
and dashed into the locomotive of the sec
ond freight train, which had ran upon the
siding to point opposite the open switch.
All day the track has been blocked by the
twisted and broken rails and demolished
locomotives.
A fireman named Morton, of Baltimore,
was the only one killed. He was fireman
on the express train. Isaac Stormer, the
engineer of the express, and Jacob s. Vagel,
engineer of the second freight, are seriously
hurt, but will probably recover. The ex-
press messengers, Captain j. A. McCahen
and j. H. Po6nall, of Harrisburg, were in.
jured, but not seriously. Several others
were scratched and bruised. The negligent
brakeman disappeared after the accident.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, February "a
revival has been in progress at a colored
church, near COalburg, ten miles from this
city, for a week. Last Thursday night
Matte Stevens, young woman, professed
religion and shouted at terrible rate for an
hour. Suddenly she fell in a trance and
has remained in that condition since.
She has not opened her eyes and takes no
nourishment only as it is forced down her
throat. The doctors pronounce it one of
the most remarkable cases on record and
