DOCTORS AS USUAL DISAGREE
Conflicting Expert Testimony as to
Lizzie E5aiIiday,s Sanity.

MONTICELLO, N. Y, June 20, 1894.-The
third days proceedings in the trial of Mrs.
Lizzie Halliday began at $50 o'clock this
morning.
The prisoner seems a little brighter than
she has been since the beginning of the trial.
The people will probably rest their case
some time this forenoon, as District Attor-
ney Hill says he has only two or three more
witnesses to examine. The number of wit
nesses 10 be examined by the defense will
not exceed four or five and they will be
principally physicians. who will testify as to
the prisoners mental condition. The de-
fence will do nothing beyond trying to
establish the plea of insanity.
DR.. James A. Cauthers, a practising ply
stefan of this place, who attended Mrs. Hali-
day when she cut her throat with glass from
her cell window last December. has been sub
peenaed by the prosecution. He firmly be-
lieved that the woman is sane, and, indeed,
the testimony secured yesterday would in
dictate that she was sane at least about the
time of the murders, for which she is now
being tried.
DR.. Woodruff of Pine Bush and ex-Assem-
blyman DR.. George NJ. Beakes of Blooming
burgh, the official pension examiner for the
| Seventh Congressional district, are the only
other physicians in town, who seem COM
municative.
DR.. Woodruff believes her to be sane,
while DR.. Beakes thinks she is insane.
The noUoriety Sullivan county has secured
through Mrs. Halliday will come pretty high
to the taxpayers. The expense of getting
the jury alone will be not less than $500,
while the entire cost of the case since the
prisoners arrest will not fall short OF $40, 000.
Shortly after Mrs. Halliday was brought
into court this morning she exhibited evil
dence of excitability. She lifted up and
| shook her skirt, pulled at her sleeves and
rubbed her hand over her head several times
as though trying to arouse herself from her
dazed condition. 1t is altogether likely that
she will before long see potato bugs, snakes
or other similar things, as she did after her
arrest last September.
The testimony taken this morning shows
that the McQuillan women had money on
their persons when. they were murdered.
Mrs. Carrie Scott, the wife of Constable
Scott, made an examination of the prison
or's person when at her house September 6.
She found pinned to the front of her draw
ers a S 0.pound -four bag. In her left stock
lug was S16, and in her right stocking S315.
There was elghty-five cents in change in her
purse. Her underclothing was clean and
well made.
At 1880 A. M. the prosecution rested their
case, and counsel for Mr.. Halliday moved
the discharge of the prisoner OIL the grounds
that the people had not sufficiently sustained
the charge, and that the indictment was in
| sufficient. The motion was denied, and the
| defense was opened at l0:40 A. NJ.

ELECTRIC STORM IN MAINE.
Property Destroyed and People Ter.
rified for Three Days.

Property Destroyed and People Ter
riied for Three Days.
AUGUSTA, June 20, 1894. The great
electrical storm which prevailed in the State
for the past three days has been the most
severe known for years, continuing each day
at intervals. Monday night through central
Maine there was a constant manifesto
ton of lightning and tAunder from
dark until two o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. The air was charged with electricity.
A large portion of the population for miles
because of fright or to be ready to put out
fires kindled by the lightning. Telegraph,
telephone and electric wires have suffered on
every hand. On the Pennington line of the
Maine Central Railroad, half a dozen tele-
graph poles were demolished and an eighth of
a mile of wire tangled w. Fred Thorn's
buildings in Augusta were struck twice n
a chimney and a shed demolished. The
house of William Leighton, at Mt. Vernon,
was struck at midnight. The bolt en-
tered the room where the family and Sheriff
Hiram Gilman and wife were sitting. They
saw two balls of fire as large as a mans head
in the room. All escaped injury.
Edward Halls store at West Mt. Vernon
was struck, also near Redfeld Corner in
East Redfield. In Vassalbora a vaIuable
horse belonging to Evard Priest was killed in
a pasture and Tom Starkey's house was
struck. Ih6 barn OF EDWARD U. bdrrOWS OF
Vassalboro was burned, together with seven
tons Of hay, a COW and farming tools. George
Richards at Getchells Corner lost two barns
and their contents, which were burned by
lightning.
In S~kowhegan forty scholars had gathered
in Coburn Hall when a bolt struck the tin
roof over their heads, but fortunately did
no damage further than SCATTERING the flag
pole.
In Turner the house Of George w. Blossom
was burned. He lost all papers, $500 in
money, IS tons of hay and a large portion
of his household goods. In Buckfeld, Har-
lows toothpick factory was set on fire,
and the house of Mrs. Charles Allen
was struck and q fire kindled. In Brunswick
the storm was in progress while the gradual
ing exercises of the High School were going
On. Lightning struck a tree near, some cried
fire and a panic was barely avoided. The
electric fluid visited several houses in the
| vicinity and INDUCED in various pranks.
The State House at Augusta was struck.
The fluid ran in on a telephone wire, and
Captain Purington. messenger of the Gov
ernor and Council, was partially stunned.
Numberless trees have been struck on every
hand. and one can hardly travel any dis
lance in this section without meeting with
evidences of the storms of destruction. Re
ports are constantly coming in of damage
done. There was another heavy shower last
night with sharp lightning.

Houses Struck During Yes

the marble mantelpiece in the parlor. This
was the only damage done and amounts to
but S25. No. 4 truck was called out on a
still alarm, but the services of the firemen
were not needed. Mrs. Fortenbrook who
was in the kitchen at the time was badly
frightened by the lightning and tainted.
Upon recovering she said that she thought
that the house was tumbling down. She
described the bolt as a large ball of fire
which seemed to roll out of the hearth
across the parlor floor. The residents in the
~neighborhood were also badly frightened by
the shock.
CHURCH STRUCK IN HOBoKEN.
Throughout Hoboken the force of the
storm vas felt considerably. The trees in
Church and Hudson square parks were
damaged to some extent. Several telegraph
poles on Hudson street will have to be reset.

during the thunderstorm yesterday after
noon and $50 worth of damage dohe. Thing
on the steeple was ripped off.

a cart near the reservoir when the storm be-
gan. He drove rapidly dow the Boulevard.
The bolt descended and struck him and his
horse. He fell back lifeless in the cart. The

The house of George Seller of Clinton ave
nue. and John Street, Weehawken, was

man place, was struck by lightning, and
