STOLE SIX TURKEYS.
Finale of the Most Remarkable Case
In Tennessee.
Young Woman Imprisoned and Sub
jected to Foul Treatment.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 12.-At CO.
lumbia, Tenn. Mary Moore, a white wo-
man, worth $50, 900, and the owner OF 600
acres of fine land. was convicted for steal
ing six turkeys from neighho and sem
fenced to one year in the penitentiary.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court
This is the finale of a most remarkable
career, unrivalled in the history of the
criminal courts of the State. Ten years
ago the..womaD and her husband, calling
themselves Stone, came from Kentucky,
bought land in a good neigh borhood ana
lived secretive life. Immediately thefts
became numerous, incendiary fires fol-
lowed, rumors spread abroad, the hus-
band died, vigilance committees were
formed. criminal suits instituted, but
came to nothing. At last the neighbors
raided the farmh and found young
woman, daught ter law of Mrs. Mo ore,
imprisoned in a room and subjected to
the foulest treatment. Indignation be-
came intense, and as the stealing OF the
turkeys was a sure case, 1t was rcsorted
to TO get the Moore woman into the pen
itentiary and break up her nefarious. oper-
atione.

New London Express and
Pawtuxet Valley Mixed.
Passengers Were Shocked but NJ
One Was injured.
Superintendent j. B. Gardner Explained
the Cause Of the Accident.

There was collision of two passen ger
trains at $3.50 this morning in the train
shed in front of the. Union Railroad sta
tion. No one was injured, and the dam
age to rolling stock amounted to ebout
$50.
The Pawtuxet Valley accommodation
train from Howard, due in this city at
S:45 had arrived on time, and stopped in
the shed, just west of the main gate open
ing into the depot.
The passengers, including a car full OF
prisoners from the state institution, had
left the cars, and the empty train was
waiting for it's opportunity to be taken
up to the yard. 1t had been left nearer
the western end of the shed than is usual,
according to the statement Of police off,
Ger Symonds.
The express which leaves New London
at 1888 and Is due here at sos, ten min
utes behind the Pawtuxet Valley train,
came In on time and on the same track,
but went ahead about 20 feet further
than was intended. As result. engine
s44 on the express, In charge of engineer
Daniel Stillman, bumped into the combi-
nation smoker and baggage car on the
rear of the accommodation.
The woodwork of the car platform was
splintered and the iron guard rails bent
out of shape. On the engine the dis
charge pipe from the smoke arch was
broken, and that was the whole of the
damage. The passengers on the express
were, as q matter of course, Jared con-
siderably, but no one gDsiyed 60 much
as a scratch.
Superintendent }. B. Gardner of the
stonington division, explains the mishap
as follows: The train which came In
from the West Immediately after from
Pawtuxet Vallea, and just before the New
London expresss, had covered the signals
ct the Sabin street crossing, so that engi-
neer Stillman did not see in time that
train was ahead of him. standing In
different place than he usually had found
1T. This, together with slippery rail
MADE 1t impossible for him 10 stop In
time.
Mr.. Gardner apparently exonerates all
hands from blame.
Be sail that 1t was hardly surprising
that such a mishap should nave occurred
because the Providence yard is crowded
oil the time, and trains cvme In so FREE
quently that 1t is absolutely necessary
that they should run close together.

Marsh's estate is insolvent. and the
Rogers and Johnson estates are left in
bad shape. The Gilbert estate would
probably have suffered with the others,
but for the vigilance Of one OF the other
trustees. Marsh made his last return
In June, and then all the securities were
intact In the latter part Of August,
however, he began TO appropriate the
securities, wnen the trustees learned Of
some peculiar transactions. and. within
two weeks, asked for an accounting. By
this means further speculations were
stopped, and the loss to the estate will
be fully covered by Marsh's bondsmen.
