MURDER OR SUICIDE.
A Mysterious Double Tragedy Mt Mi
0ietown, N. Y.


dietown, N. Y.
MIDDLETowN, N. Y, Oct. IA myste-
rious murder and suicide. or double
murder, occurred in this city this morn
ing. John Tierney was found with q
bullet hole in his temple. His wife was
lying near him with a bullet hole in her
right breast. while pistol lay few feet
away. The affair occurred in q cafe
owned and conducted by Mrs. Tierney.
An aged uncle. Robert Flynn, awoke
at 80 O'Clock this morn>
ing and went down stairs to the
kitchen in the basement and built a
fire. While thus engaged he heard
report, which did not seem to him, he
says, like that of pistol, and the fall of
a body. A moment later it was fol-
lowed by another report. He sent
young man who had just come in the
back door to ascertain the cause OF the
noise. The young man returned, re-
porting nothing.
Shortly afterwards Mrs. Tierny's son,
Thomas, who was said to have been
asleep on sofa in the kitchen, went
up and found the two dead bodies. His
mother lay in the parlor with her feet in
the bedroom adjoining, and his step
father lay in the center of the parlor.
He ran to his mother and found the
body still warm. Tierney was gasping
and frothing at the mouth.
What appeared at fret to be suicide
and murder now looks to the authori-
ties like q double murder. Tierney
married Mrs. Mcclure. widow with
son, five weeks ago. Thomas was very
angry at the marriage and left the house
for two weeks. About the time OF the
marriage he took a 44-osliber British
bulldog revolver and threw it behind a
trunk in q closet in his bedroom. He
claims that no one knew it was there
but himself. Young Tierney gives it as
his opinion that his mother was MUIR
dersd by her husband, who. he asserts,
committed suicide.

CHOPPING OFF HEADS.
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S PRUN-
ING KNIFE.
Two Division superintendents to Be
Sacrificed to the Cause of Econ
omy-T Tho san Joaquin d.
Vision Abolished.

SAN Francisco. Oct. THE Chronicle
tomorrow will say:
1t was learned from an authentic
source today that on November 1st there
will be some startling changes in the
roster of the Southern Pacific's officials.
Two division superintendents whose fat
salaries have been eating up the profits
will be sacrificed to the cause OF econ
omy. There is to be consolidation of
divisions and the new regime, it is esti-
mated, will effect saving of several
thousands q month. One division is to
be abolished completely. The work of
other division officials will be divided
up so that another division superlntend-
ent can be dismissed.
In the frat place William II. Haydoek
is to be relieved of the superintendency
of the coast division and will be sue
eeeded by J. L. Frazier, at present the
superintendent of the San Joaquin divi-
sion, with headquarters at Fresno. The
transfer of Mr.. Frazier from Fresno to
San Francisco to succeed MIR. Haydoek
is deemed advisable for two reasons.
He is in the line of promotion and the
division over which he presides is to be
abolished.
Mr.. Frazier will be clothed with more
authority in his new position than was
possessed by Dir. Haydock. The local
Office at Fourth and Townsend streets
has heretofore been under the direction
of A. D. Wilder, superintendent of the
Western division at Oakland pier. That
will now come under Mr.. Frazier's gu.
pervision, owing to the increasing mile.
age which the new arrangement gives to
superintendent Wilder.
The San Joaquin division, extending
from Fresno 20 Bakersfield on the east
side of the valley. and north to Mendoza
on the west side, will be divided be-
tween A. d. Wilder and Dennis Burk-
halter, superintendent OF the Moiave
division. Superintendent Burkhalter'e
division at present extends from Los
Angeles to Bakersfield and all the track
from Bakersfield north as far as Fresno
on the east side and north, ss far ee
Mendoza on the west. will be incor-
porated in his division.
Superintendent Wilder'H division ex-
tends at present only as far ss Lathrop
on the east side side of the valley. and
TO Mendoza on the west side. His di-
vision is to be extended to Fresno, and
thus the entire division now under the
superinte1dency of Mr.. Frazier will be
divided up between Wilder and Burk-
halter.
This change means the dropping off OF
eli the heads of the petty officials of the
San Joaquin division, ana nsarlv all the
clerical force in the division nuperin-
tendent's Office at Fresno.

Corbstps Time to Fight Does Not Suit

BODe
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7.-Fitzsimmon
arrived here tonight and talked freely OF
his controversy with Jim Corbett, whom
he ia to meet in New York on Thursday
with reference to the proposed fight.
When asked if the date suited him as
set by Oorbett, after July 1st. next,
Fitzsimmons said:
mo, that date does not suit for sew
ersl reasons. In the first place there
are others 90 be considered besides Mr..
Oorhett. What about the club? They
must have protection. Not one could
afford to put up purse OF $25, 900, ex-
cept at such time as they see a way in
which to make it back again. The purse
has already been offered, but July would
be very late date for New Orleans, and
the club could not give such an amount
ee they would not be able to get it ia at
the gate. 1t is for them to set the date,
and Corbett muet make his arrange
ments accordingly. But what he may
do in this matter, | cannot cay, but |
will not agree to such a postponement,
as after the first of July. That may
mean at any time or no time, just as it
suits Mr.. Brady"

srence to the third floor was II by Z
inches. Having gained this point they
went to far window overlooking the

each an inch square.

prisoners were torn into long strips.
These were tied together, making a
secure rope, by means of which the men
descended in safety to the ground. As

on the breast and death was instant tane-
GUS. The moving mass crushed his face
into the ground, bruising it go that it
was unacceptable last night. The
