NEW YORK, April IS.-Wben the

in Hoboken this afternoon, several of the

stationed at Mainz, and, yielding to the
persistent pleading of the woman, came
with her to this country, where they lived
as man and wife. They lived on a farm
near this city and the woman, firing of
her lover, neglected him in many ways
and finally announced her intention Of re-
turning home. Ohnacker tried to change
her purpose and followed her to the dock
to renew his pleadings. He had no money

Two Engineers and Six Postal Clerks
Killed.

CLEVELAND. April lS.-A frightful
wreck occurred on the Lake Shore rail.
road at KiDton station. about forty miles
west, this evening, in which six postal
clerks and two engineers we're killed. The
fast mail, No. IA, bound East, collided
with No, IL, the Toledo express, just as
the latter train was about to pull on a
siding to let the fast mail pass. The fast
mail was running full speed and the force
of the collision was so greet that both en-
gines. three mail cars and one baggage
car we're completely wrecked. The fol
lowing is a list of the dead. Engineers
Edward Brown and Charles Tupton;
Postal Clerks f.. J.. Nugent, Charles
Hammill, F. F. Clemens, John j. Bower
fin. James Mckinley, ID. II. Mcdowell.
The injured are Firemen Starkey and
John DanzJng. n son of the section fore
man. None OF the passenger cars left the
track and none of the passengers received
serious injuries.
1t was the custom OF these two trains
to pass at Kipton, the Toledo express
taking a side track for the fast mail. which
usually went through without slackening.
The express was a few minutes late this
tNtuluk u just Jul " a sup NJ
the switch when the fast mail came in
sight. The engineer of the fast mail
applied the brakes when he saw a COLI,
sion was inevitable, but the speed of the
train had not been checked materially.
The engine of the Toledo express was
knocked squarely across the track and
that of the fast mail reared in the air,
resting on top of the other.
The first and second mail cars were
telescoped and smashed to kindlIng wood,
and the third crashed into the first two
and rolled over on the station platform.
Two baggage cars on the Toledo express
we're knocked from the track, but did not
turn over. The passengers were thrown
to the floors and badly shaken, but nome
seriously injured. The passengers at once
began the work of rescue, and, with a
corps of physicians from town, ministered
to the few who we're injured. All but one
of the dead were beyond human assistance
as soon as the collision occurred. The
bodies were all horribly crushed and mutt
lated, arms and legs being torn off, and
the corpses were almost beyond recogni'
ton.
The poor postal clerks were Gagged like
rats and the ~telescoping of the car:
crushed the life out OF them without a
moments warning. The debris is piled
in a heap higher than the station. 1t is
difficult to locate the blame for the
accident, but it is said the express was
ordered to stop at Oberlin. but went on tc
kipton and had not sufficient time t
make the side track.

BosToN, Mass, April lS.-Au Italian
named Placide made a desperate attempt
to kill his wife this morning III a tenement
house on North street. More by chance
hat anything else his eudeavors were
frustrated. His plan was not only to get
rid of the woman but to dispose of her
body as well, for he had a long pine box
in the room where the crime was COM
united, which. he told the woman as he
was choking the life from her, was in
tended for her remains, when he should
have accomplished his purpose. The
timely entrance of one of his wife's neigh
bors was the only thing which prevented
the fulfllment of the murder. On the
floor lay the young woman struggling in
the grasp of her husband but unable to
utter a sound on account OF a handker-
chief which was tied over her mouth.
Around her neck was a rope tied in a slip
moose, and as the door was opened by the
woman Placide had arisen from his posi-
ton on the floor and was about to throw
the rope over a closed door and haul the
IN up. He was arrested shortly
after the discovery and his wife. who was
unconscious, resucitated. 1t is claimed
that two causes contributed to the at
tempted murder-jealously of a boarder
and a desire to obtain $500 that the
woman had in her possession. The Italian
was locked up.

COLUMBUS, Ind, April Is.-Some
days ago a stylishly dressed elderly lady
aliRbted from a train in North Vernon
and proceeded at once to the country
giving out that she wanted to purchase a
large tract of land and stock it with
thoroughbred cattle. Many farmers
fiocked to see her, hopeful of selling their
farms, and none were disappointed, for
the woman contracted to take everything
offered at good figures. After making
these contracts she reported bat she was
compelled to return to Cincinnati for
money with which to close her purchases,
hut as a guarantee of good faith she
offered S25 to bind the bargain made and
rendered a 800 bill. requesting SIS in
change. She caught no one there. She
was next heard OF at Butlerville, where she
successfully worked a farmer out of SIS,
receiving that amount in good money in
exchange for a 500 counterfeit bill.

ELMIRA, n. Y, April IS.-One Of the
most romantic features in the story Of the
Cook family at Havana, n. Y, has just
come to light and nothing can add to the
interest, which a plain recital of the story
will arise. Five or SIX years ago Ebert
p. Cook, the leading banker of Havana,
a leader in the church aud in society, in
fact the big man Of the town, as his father,
the founder Of Cook academy had been
before him, suddenly disappeared from
home, and 1t was Immediately discovered
that the funds of the bank we're in a de
plorable state as the result of reckless
speculation on the part of the president.
The shortage was over $4,000, and
Havana people went wild. Rewards were
offered, but Cook could not be captured.
Ep Senator Miller, OF this city, was ap-
pointed receiver of the bank. Cook,
meantime. il afterwards developed, went
to Buenos Ayres, where his wife aud
children Joined hun. The Cooks were
leaders in the American colony in Buenos
Ayres, and in their set moved George and
G. +. Gluck. sons of }. G. Glu,k, a
wealthy resident of MINNEAPOLIS. George
Gluck and the Cooks became involved in
personal difficulty, the result of which was
that George Gluck shot and killed MIR.
Cook and accidentally shot Thankful, Il
daughter Of the ex banker. Through
remOrse of having killed the young lady,
Gluck committed suicide before he could
be apprehended.
Mrs. Cook buried her husband and
daughter in Buenos AYres, and then,
with the remaining children, %journeved
homeward, heart broken aud almost des-
titute, except for the 81. 900 lite insurance
carried by her husband. The large sun
of money which Cook enbezzled has dis
appeared. On the hOmeward voyage
Mrs. Cook met a man with whom she tell
in love, and after she had been at Ha-
wanna some time he went on there and
married her. The couple went West to
live and for sometime stories to the effect
that the lady was again destitute have been
coming East.
John G Gluck, the father of George
Gluck, who murdered Mr.. Cook, was not
only wealthy, but was u man OF generous
impulses and a kindly nature. After Mrs.
Cook returned to America he repeatedly
rendered her financial assistance, but she
was proud and sensitive and declined his
proffers of aid. Mrs. Cook would never
take a cent from the father of the man
who murdered her husband, but Mr..
Gluck added r codicil to his will, leaving
Mrs. Cook $4,000 in cash, the amount
he had intended to bestow on his way
ward son. John g. Chuck died last week,
and his will has been admitted to probate,
so that the beneficiary will have no
trouble in getting the money. She lives
somewhere in Kansas, it is said. The
only member of the once powerful Cook
family nov residing in Havana is Miss
Grace Cook, a sister of Ebert.

Twenty years ago the energetic Professor

in a New Jersey city. They were studying

generously, when the conductor cried out;
"Nol mol de dreadful vowel Don't say

Whereupon the chorus too up the strain
again, "Hear us Bawl-hear us Bawl," but

the sentiment and broke down in laugh
