TWO PROBABLY DROWNED
Horse and Buggy Found Near Ford
in Maryland.
Especial to The Times.j

Especial to The Times.J
Rockville, Nd, Oct. IA horse and buggy
were found near Seneca creek this morn
ing under circumstances that point to the
drowning of the occupants Of the buggy.
At the poiat where the buggy was found
is a ford. The creek, however, has been
very much swollen since the storm. 1t Is
supposed that the occupant or occupants OF
the vehicle undertook to cross the creek
by this ford, and 1t is likely that, If this
be the case, the unfortunates were strangers
because all the local people know the
dangerous condition of the creek after
SIcn rains as nave recently fallen.
The buggy was found near the ford.
1t was wet. and the horse showed signs
of violent exercise. as if the animal had
made an effort for his own life. This
AT least was the conclusion of the farmer
who made the discovery this morning.
II is probable that when the buggy was
drawn beyond its depth it sank with the
we ritt vi its occupants. who, of course,
abandoned II in the struggle for their
lives. and il was then dragged ashore by
the horse.
y search viii be instituted on this theory,
although there Is little chance of finding
the bodies anywhere near the ford on
account of the swiftness and force Of
the freshet.

Accused of Attempting to
Poison His Wife.
His Answer Is That His Wife
Has Fits of Insanity.
Bottle of Poison Pound in Pocket
When He Was Arrested.

ST. PAUL Aug. 7.-When Rev. ]. T..
Hull, the preacher arrested at the request
of his wife, charged with attempting TO
poison her by administration Of poison in
repeated small doses, appeared in pol ce
court he mad no attorney and neither side
was prepared to proceed, go that the case
was continued for 10 days. In the mean
time he Is held without bail. Mr. Hull
became prominent locally year ago when
he made serious charges Of persecution
ageinst certain members OF his copgrega-
tion, being at the time pastor OF the
Clinton Avenue NJ. T.. Church.
The only defense that MIR. Hull has
made against the sensational charge now
brought against him, is the claim that
his wife is, and mas for some years been
insane, ana that during her insane pei iods
he mad been accustomed o-secret poisons
and other dangerous things. He says
trat he had thus secreted vial of poison,
which was. found on his person at the
time of arrest. The family physician
denies the charge Of insanity against his
wife, while all others insist that insanity
Is the reason for the actions OF the man
for a long time past.
