While Drunk She Drowned
Her Two Children.
The Police Found the Little Ones
Laid Out Dead.
Medical Examiner Said They Were
Either Drowned or Strangled.

Boston, Jan. 24.-Mrs. Margaret Nc
BOURNE of 627 Harrison avenue went into
Station 10 this noon and informed the
police that she had drowned her two
children. On investigation the officers
found the children laid out at
their home, side by side in
bed in their night clothes with
their eyeiids held down by copper
cents. Both were dead, though the body
OF the girl, Clara, aged 2. was still warm.
The boy, Clifford, aged 5, had evidently
been killed before the other. Medical
Examiner Draper was notified. He was
unable, however, to determine whether
the deaths resulted from drowning or
strangulation. He ordered the remains
taken to the morgue where further ex-
animation will be made. The police are
the cause of She woman's crime. 1t Is
said that she has been under the influence
OF liquor for the past two weeks. Tho
husband, James McBournie, was taken
TO Station and held there. He
said that he knows nothing about
the murder. He went to work at the shoe
store Of George M. Coburn q Co., 22 High
street, as usual this morning little after
6o'clock. His employers vouch for his
sobriety and steadiness.
People in the neighoring tenements
knew nothing about the crime until the
arrival OF the police. They say that the
woman seemed very fond OF the children,
but when in drink abused them. The
McBournies have been married about six
years and have lived in their present tene-
ment since March.

The capital stock is 81 100000, divided
into 10000 shares OF Sl00 each, of which
5000 shares are preferred stock and the
remaining 5000 common stock. The
stock is entitled to receive from

the net earnipgsoi any one year shall not
be sufficient to pay such dividends on the
preferred stock, the said dividends are to
be cumulative and paid out OF the net
earnings OF any subsequent year, but
without interest. No dividends are to be
paid on the common stock as long a. there
is any arrears OF dividends on the preferred
stock.
A peculiar circumstance IL that said
said Edwin f.. Kent, Frank +. Tingley
and John Sibley only took one share each
OF tho common stock, while the remainder
of the stock remains in the treasury for
future issue upon payment OF the par
value thereof.
An amend ment to the article of incor-
poration was adopted Nov. II last, strik-
ing out the words and figures "six per-
centum GO per cent? per annum," and
substituting per cent.
The first meeting Of the subscribers to
the agreement was held in the off1ce oil
Edwards Il Angel, 81 Westminster street,
Sept. IA last, and John A. Shibley was
chosen temporary chairman ana Mr..
Tingley clerk. Bylaws and the constitu-
tion were then adopted.
Following were the officers elected :
Directors, Edwin f. Kent, Frank +. Ting
ley, John A. Shibley; president, Frank f.
Tingley; treasurer, Edwin +. Kent; sec
retary, John A. Shibley.
IL is understood that Mr.. Kent Is the
only moneyed man " in the building
company and that Mr.. Shibley was sup
posed to be the great stock placer" and
failure would be serious blow for the
latter.
IL is stated on tho street that the Kent
& Stanley Company is not embarrassed
on account OF its jewelry manufacturing
interests, but because OF trying TO
swing too many real estate deals.
1t Is understood, that while the Kent q
Stanley Company built the new building
on Sabin street, 1t was really in the old
Kent-TingIey Building q Land Com
pany's interests.
Members OF the embarrassed corpora
tion met at the Rhode Island National
Bank this afternoon and discussed mat
ters with cashier Chase.
The truth of tie matter is substanti-
ally as follows: The Kent & STAN
ley Company Is supposed to own
the new building on Sabin street and the
old Enterprise building, recently vacated
by them.
When 1t comes to the Calender build
ing, old Slater mill and other property
TO be acquired by the Kent
Tingley Company, the fee simple
is supposed to be held by Edwin f. Kent
and had not reached the point where the
transfer was TO be made.
Although the latter company was duly
incorporated, no deeds had been turned
over to it. There are said
to be two or three Boston
banks, the same number i'm this city and
one in Pawtucket involved for small
amounts.

WAVED HER PETTIcoAT.
A PIucly Young New Jersey Woman
saves Train
From the New York TrIhune.


From the New York Tribune.
Haverstraw. Sept. 4.-Miss Martha NJ.
Gurnee. employed as station agent at
Mount Ivy, on the New Jersey and New
York railroad. showed herself to be a
heroine Of rare presence of mind and
courage this afternoon by tagging a pas
senger train with her pettlcoat and warm
ing the trainmen Of the danger which
menaced them by the track being covered
with wreckage which had fallen there be-
cause Of the burning of the station. Miss
Gurnee and her H-year-old brother were
alone in the station at 1880, long freight
train having passed east short time be-
fore. They smelled smoke. and on going
out discovered the roof of the station to
be on fire. As the station Is situated In a
lonely place among the Haverstraw Noun
tains, and no one around TO give assis-
lance. Miss Gurnee and her brother set to
work to save what they could.
The freight house, which stood near BY,
also took fire. Miss Gurnee and her
brother then turned their attention to this
and rushed inside the building and rolled
several barrels of kerosene oil to a place
OF safety, which would soon have ex-
ploded had not the heroic agent and her
brother risked their lives to roll II out
side.
Miss Gurnee then thought Of Conduc-
tor Johnson's east-bound passenger train,
which would be due in a short time. She
began to look around for something to
flag the train with, and to her dismay and
horror she discovered that she had left
her signal flags in the burning station, and
they had been consumed. Equal to the
occasion, she loosened her petticoat and
sent her brother on run up the road
to warn the approaching train. When the
passengers heard the story of the pretty
agent they grabbed her by the hand and
showered all kinds Of praises upon her.
