A FATAL BLUNDHR.
II Costs Three Lives on the Belt Line
Road at Chicago.

ROAD at CnlCa9o,
CHICAGO, Nov. 2l.-Through the blum
der of some one, terrible collision of
two heavily laden freight trains on the
Belt Line railway near the Archer
avenue crossing yesterday. three lives
were lost and two men were injured so
seriously that they may not recover.
Those who We're killed are: John Beau
champ, conductor of train No Il; Rich
ard A. Otto, brakeman of train No. Il;
Louis 0bitz, fireman of train No. 80.
The injured are; Thomas Garland, en-
gineer of No. 30, bruised about the face
and legs and scalded badly, left arm
broken; John Best, brakeman OF No. 80,
badly scalded, may not recover.
Train No. IA had come to stop, and
it is supposed that Beauchamp and Otto
We're asleep in the caboose, as they failed
to flag No. 30, which was following
thom. The force OF the collision was
terrific and dozen cars were smashed
to kindling wood. The bodies of Beau
champ and Otto were taken from the
debris terribly mangled, and Obitzs re-
mains were found crushed between the
boiler head and tender of his engine.
Garland and Best, who were on the
engine with Obitz, managed to crawl
from the wreck unassisted, though both
were badly crushed and scalded from
the steam that rushed from tho broken
pipes. Immediately after the disaster
the wreckage caught fire, and it was only
by great exertion on the part of the rail-
road men that the flames We're prevented
from reach the forty cars which COM
posed train No 30.

Murdered and Left Hanging.

BRADFORD, Pa, Nov. 81. . Mrs. Luz
cette Grossmier, a wiGow, aged SO years,
was found hanging in her cow stable at
Farmers Valley. For time it was
supposed to bs a case of suicide. In
vesfigation, however, brought to light a
most brutal murder. The old lady had
gone to the stable to milk her cow. The
murderer, evidently knowing her habits,
was lying in wait for her. As she en-
tered the stable door she was seized from
behind and beaten and choked into m
sensibility. After committing the deed
the murderer hung the old lady by the
neck from rafter. Mrs Crossmier's
husband died last year, and Mrs. Cross
mier had much trouble in getting pos
session of her husbands farm, which
was occupied by her son. This son,
Ralph CrosSmier, was at Smethport,
but his present whereabouts are un-
known. He was the only known enemy
of the old Lady.

Mr.. Forster, if taken at his own valu-

slightly disparaging anecdotes to tell to

AS poor instance of Forster's wit,
remember On one occasion Crabb Robin

ing to him at the dinner fable that the
soup had run short, whereupon Forster,
to the astonishment of his guests anI to
the dismay of his serving man, roared
out the plagiarism, "Then let there be

time looking round as if he had said a
very good thing indeed.-Mrs. Crosse in

Two Aged People Killed and Three
Others Wounded.


CHICAGO, Nov. 2t.-Herman Siegler, a
German, lived with his wife and three
children at the residence of his wifes
parents, Henry and Caroline Siles, on
Paulina street. Yesterday Siegler be-
gan making preparations for a hunting
trip. Nothing unusual was noticed
about his actions until, gun in hand, he
entered the parlor, where his wife and
children We're. One of the little ones
saw him first, and the girl screamed.
Mrs. Siles, the mother -in-law, hurried
into the room, aud as she entered he at
tempted to elevate the gun asMhough he
intended to shoot She rushed up to
him, and throwing her arms about his
neck, tried to take the gun from him.
''Keep away; God is with mel" shouted
Siegler, as he pushed tho aged woman
aside violently. Then he raised tho
shotgun, and pointing the barrel almost
directly against her left breast, fired be-
fore she could offer any resistance. She
sank to the floor dead.
Mrs. Siegler in the meantime had car
ried the children to the house of a neigh
Dor, and on returning encountered her
husband, who fired at her. several of the
shot taking effect in her neck and breast.
The noise aroused Mr.. Siles, and he do
scended into the hallway. AS he stepped
from the lower step Siegler met him.
Again raising the gun. which he had
previously reloaded, he fired, Mr. Siles
receiving the full charge at close range.
1t is believed that Siegler then dis
charged the other barrel of his gun in
his father-in-law's face, for portions of
his neck and right cheek were torn away.
Siegler fired upon and wounded Officer
Simonson, who came to arrest him, and
was himself wounded by bullet from
the officers revolver. The murderer
narrowly escaped lynching at the hands
of crowd that gathered. He shows
evidence of insanity.

touchdown and goal in the second half,
making score of to O. Harvard was
weakened on the left side of the line late
in the game by the injury of Emmons
and Upton. Hinkey, the Yale end, put
both men out by hard tackles. Then,
on Harvard's forty yard line, Yale began
using a whirllng wedge around Har-
wards left end, which gradually drove
the ball down to the five yard line,
where g. ID. Bliss made touchdown
and Butterworth kicked n goal. Har-
wards nearest point to the Yale goal line
while in possession of the ball was fif-
teen yards. Yale had the ball within a
foot and half of Harvards goal line in
the first half, but lost it on tumble
within half minute Of the call of time.
Thirty thousand persons witnessed tho
contest. The battle was fiercely con-
tested from the moment the ball was
put into play until the call OF time.
Harvard developed unexpected strength,
and her team, although beaten, was one
of the best that has represented that col
lege for years.
Captain Cumnock, of Harvard, said he
thought Mr.. Coffin, the umpire, made
one ruling that was unfair to Harvard,
and the crimson supporters are in bad
temper.
