MIDDLErowN, ". Y. Sept. 7. - The
double murder at Birmingham has been as
thoroughly investigated as possible at this
time. The news from Walden and New
burgh, is confirmation of the theory that
the MeQuillans, mother and daughter,
started from their home with Mrs Halli-
day. Yesterday afternoon James McQuil-
Ian, fourth cousin Of Joseph McQuillan,
OF Newburgh reached Bloominburgh, ac-
companied by Adam Sloan, a friend. The
body of the young woman was shown
them and fully identified as that of the
daughter of Joseph McQuillan. The body
of the elder woman being buried, a full de-
scription was given the men, and McQuil-
Ian left perfectly satisfied that the VIC
tins were his relatives. The undertaken
advised that the body of the mother should
not be disinterred on account of its condi-
tion.
The rumors that Mrs. McQuillan had
800 with her when she left home are not
thought to be true but that the girl had
gold watch and two rings, which are miss
ing, Is known. Yesterday two pistols were
found in vault in all outhouse on Jus
tice Thayer's place, where the suspected
woman was first taken when arrested.
The pistols are Of 30 caliber. This caliber
corresponds with the bullet found near
the bed in the house and with the bullets
found In the murdered women.
In the same vault where the pistols were
found later there was dug out an ounce
vial without II label, containing chloro-
form, and two boxes Of cartridges, one full
and the other partially empty. Mrs. Hal
liday, on her return from Blooming burg
with Constable Scott on Monday went to
the clubhouse, while the party stopped at
Justice Thayer's. 1t is thought she drop
ped pistols and chloroform and cartridges
while there.
The inquest was continued dnring the
afternoon, but nothing OF interest was
brought out. The suspected murderess is
still In Constable Scott's care at his house.
She continues to treat her callers to the
same disconnected. visionary speech, and
natural or assumed crazy actions Many
of the neighbors are inclined to believe
thats Paul Halliday. the husband of the
woman under arrest, is not dead, but has
decamped.

Native Patagonians like other savage
people, have very keen eyes for certain
things-things which their modes of life
have made itindispensabletha that they should
notice. In other words, they are special
lists, and as a matter of course they excel In
their own particular line. But it does not
follow that they have better eyes than are
possessed by men of civilized countries.
Set one of them to find reversed "sn in
the middle Of n printed page, says Mr. Hud-
son, and the tears would run down his
brown cheeks, aud he would give up the
search with aching cyeballs. But the
proofreader can find the reversed letter in a
few moments and never strain his eyes in
the least.-Youth's Companion.
