hurriedly, unguarded, to the main en-
trance and in few moments Dolby
was behind the great stone walls of the
penitentiary, where he will spend the
next twenty years of his life at hard Ia
Dor. The trip from Washington Court
house was without incident. The mob
was easily controlled when the rein
forcements of militia arrived at Wash
ington Courthouse at $3.50 g. m. The
troops at Washington Courthouse have
been ordered home.
The most intense indignation prevail S
here against both Sheriff Cook and Col.
Colt. Gov. Mckinley will be asked to
dismiss Colt from the National Guard
as the people here hold him responsible
for the killing and wounding of the
twenty-four people known to have been
struck. 1t is generally admitted that
Colts departure with his command
early this morning alone prevented a
riot.

Died Together.

SEAcLIFF, Long Island, Oct. 1S.-The
dead bodies of Miss Mary Duff and OF
her betrothed husband, Elicit L. Titus,
of Brooklyn, who mysteriously disap-
peared Tuesday evening, were found
last night in bath house belonging to
the young lady's father. Lying on her
back on the floor, her hands folded on
her breast, her dress neatly arranged,
lay the body of Miss Duff,her face blooc-
stained. Titus's body was found in q
corner with o bullet in his brain. The
walls and floor of the bath room were
covered with blood. The neat and tidy
way in which everything about his vic
tim was arranged shows that after
ahooting the girl the murderer, before
taking his own life, must have paused
long enough to compose his victim for
her last long sleep. So far as is known
there was not even the slightest shadow
between the dead couple and had they
lived they would have been married
next spring.
The autopsy shows that Miss Duff
died from the effects of chloroform ad
ministered by Titus for the purpose of
allaying severe headache.

The Supposed Train Robber.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Oct. 1S.-Up to
Ills this morning there are no new
developments in the train robbery case.
Searcey still holds out that he is in
nocent while the Adams Express Com
pany officials are certain that he is the
man they are looking for. A writ OF
habeas corpus has been issued and set
for hearing at 4 o'clock this afternoon
before Judges Boyd and Hoffman of the
circuit court. searcey is non-com-
municative.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, Oct. 1S.-Ex-
press Messenger Crutchfeld, who was
in charge of the express car robbed at
Aqua Creek, arrived here this morn.
ing for the purpose of seeing Searcey,
the man arrested yesterday on suspic-
ion, in the hope of being able to identify
him as one of the gang. Crutch6eld
went to the jail, but the jailor refused
to let him see the prisoner. Searcey
will be given a hearing this evening,
and Crutchfeld will have an oppor-
tunity of inspecting him in the court
room.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The Wash
ington police authorities are inclined
to believe that the man captured yes
terday at Cumberland on suspicion Of
being implicated in the Aqua Creek
train robbery, is crook who has been
working successfully in Baltimore and
that he had nothing to do with the
Virginia bandits. In order to satisfy
themselves with regard to this idea, a
local detective has been sent to Cumber
land to see if the man can be identified.
Inspector Hollinberger of the detective
force thinks that everything points to
the identity Of the prisoner as the Bal.
timore sharper. On the other hand,
the officials of the Adams Express Com
pany, who apparently placed little faith
in the various clues as to the where
abouts of the robbers, believe that the
Cumberland captive is one of the Aqua
Creek gang. This admission by the
company is important because of the
reticence with regard to everything
connected with the robbery that lacked
confirmation. No report has been re-
ceived by the express company people
here from the detectives sent to Mar
tinsburg, W. Va, to see the men ar
rested there yesterday.

SUICIDE AT HIS WIFE's GRAvE.-Eu-
gene Schaubecker, aged thirty-four
years, while in a fit ofdespondency yes :
terday afternoon, drew revolver from
his pocket and shot himself through
the heart while standing over the grave
of his wife, in Mount Carmel Cemetery,
Baltimore. The shot did not prove in
simultaneously fatal, and the man must
have suffered intense agony before
death came, as there were evidences of
fearful struggle. His deliberate prep
aration for death was shown by the
fact that he had cut away his clothing
over the heart. In his death struggles
he rolled from his wife's grave and fell
into the drain nearby. Schaubecker
chose as the day to end his life the first
anniversary of the death of his wife.
She was only nineteen years old when
she married Schaubecker a year ago
yesterday. Their baby died before the
mother and is buried beside her in the
cemetery. Ever since the death
of his wife and baby Schaubecker had
been respondent and seemed to get lit
tie pleasure out of life.
