DRIVING HER INSANE.
Even a Murderess Should Have Bet
ter Treatment Than This

MIDDLETON, n. Y. Sept. 7-Another
chapter was added to-day to the McOuil-
Ian murder when the dead body of old
Paul Holiday was dug out of the dirt be-
meath the floor of the rickety old house in
which he lived with his maniaca partner.
The discovery of the body was made by a
man named Greeves, who belongs in New
York City and spends his summers here at
house short distance from the Rolli-
Gay place. While Constable Scott was
looking over the place this morning he
found some jewelry belonging to the Me
Quillans in an outhouse. How it got there
is not positively known, but the supposi-
ton is that when the alleged murderess
visited the place yesterday she hid the
jewelrY.
The manner in which the woman is
being treated by almost every body in the
village has aroused the Indignation of a
few people. While the woman crouehes

HIS FATAL ERROR.
Three Trains Running on
One Track.
A CRASH WAS INEVITABLE.
Blood Dyed the Sands Red and in
the Debris Were Parts of
Mangled Bodies.

CHICAGO, Sept. "A blunder made to-
day in the Office of the train dispatcher of
the Pennsylvania Railroad bore fruit in
the loss of twelve lives and the injury of
score of people. The accident, which
occurred near Colehour, only fourteen
miles from this city, appears to have been
the result Of an ineXcuSable blunder. Two
trains were scheduled TO pass south on
single track between Colehour and Ham
mond, Ind. At the same time train was
due north on the same track. Orders were
given the operator at COlehour for two of
the trains. but none for the third, and so
an express train which left this city about
s O'Clock was allowed to enter the single
track, running at the rate of forty miles
an hour directly toward a milk train
which had been given the right of way in
an opposite direction on the same track.
The Panhandle express had proceeded
but short distance when the collision
occurred. The engine crews saved their
lives by jumping before the two locomo-
tiveS came together with a crash that
wrecked them and drove the baggage-car
of the Panhandle express completely
through the smoking-car behind it. In
this car were about forty people. and in it
the loss of life occurred. The following is
a list of the killed:

The scenes around the wreck were ago.

down in such a manner that before the

possible to extricate any of the bodies and
in the meantime the cries of the dying
were terrible to hear. The blood from the
mangled ones soaked its way downward
and made puddles of red in the sands out

could be seen arms, legs, mangled heads
and discolored bodies.
Tonight the crews of both trains and A.
