HINTON, W. Va, March 3O.-Jim and
Frank Tilman and Lucy Law were in
stantly killed by a rock crashing through
the house where they were sleeping at
Echo, a station 40 miles west of here. Two
other members of the family were serious
ly injured. The house was situated at the
foot of the mountain on the banks of the
New river. An enormous ledge of rocks
broke loose on the mountains side, pass
ing over coke ovens and tearing up the
track of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
and breaking through the house with the
above results. Henry Law, one Of the oc-
cupants who escaped, had the presence OF
mind to rush out and flag an east bound
express train which was just due and
would have otherwise been wrecked on the
rocks

fhe Result of an Explosion In an Extract.
ing Works at Newark,
NEWARK, N. j., March a7.-By an ex.
plosion in the Nickerson & Spence grease
extracting works two men were killed
and two badly burned. The fire resulting
from the explosion did several thousand
dollars damage. The killed are Albert
Aerioht, 20 years old of this city, and
Frederick Gallagher Of Rockland, Mass.
Those injured are James Hayes, superin.
tendent of the works, and Charles Begler,
n workman.
1t is not known what caused the explo-
sion, which occurred in the extension oi
the main factory, but it is supposed that
it was from naphtha which is used exten.
sively in that department. Those in th,
main building heard roar and saw the
flames shooting up. Every one rushed
from the buildings just in time to se'
Hayes and Begler stagger out of the
burning building. After the flames had
eaten through the front of the extension
the bodies of Aericht and Gallagher
charred beyond recognition, could be seer
for some time before the flremen could
take them from the ruins.
Hayes and Beglor were badly burned
about the face and upper part of the body
They were sent TO st. Michael's hospital
but were unable TO tell how the accident
happened.

AKRON, o., March Boa masked man
sntered the farmhouse of Alvin NJ Stone,
near Tallmadge few miles from this

hour committed a horrible butchery.
When he took his departure Stone and his
wife, both aged people, were lying dead
in bed, horribly mutilated and Ira Still
son, the hired man, and Emma Stone, the
eldest of three daughters. were unoon-
scious from blows dealt by the murderer.
The murderer entered the house by
means Of ladder, which he raised TO an
up stairs window. He first passed through
the room in which Hattie and Flora Stone
were sleeping without awakening them.
Going quietly down stairs to the room in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Stone slept, he at
tackled them with blunt weapon of some
sort, hitting both upon the head. They
were probably rendered unconscious and
possibly killed by the blows, but the fiend,
not satisfied with this, proceeded TO mu-
tilate their bodies with knife He cut
off one of Stones ears, slashed him across
the face and stabbed him in the back.
Then he laid Mrs. Stones cheek open
with a knife.

MAYS LANDING, N. J., March 9s.-
What appears to have been brutal muir
der was brought to light by the finding OF
the body Of Mrs. John Rooh in a strip Of
woods near Estelville, a small town two
miles from this place. A man familiarly
known as Spiky Jones, while on his way
to work, found that tree had been felled
across the path which he usually follows
Beneath the tree the earth had been heap
ed in a peculiar manner. Jones' curiosity
was aroused, and he commenced digging
IN the pile Of dirt. After removing few
inches Of the soil he came across the naked
foot Of a woman. Without waiting to in
vestigate further, Jones hurried TO this
place and informed Sheriff johnson OF
what he had found.
The sheriff summoned Justice lizard and
the county clerk, and with Jones acting
as their guide they made their way TO the
spot where the body had been unearthed.
After removing few inches of earth they
came upon the corpse Of a woman. The
body was clad only in a nightdress and
wrapped in two old sacks. A handker-
chief was wrapped tightly around the
neck, and she had every appearance OF
having been strangled TO death.
An investigation was made, and 1t was
found that the dead woman was Mrs.
John Roch, the wife Of a man who had
formerly lived in a little cottage about zoo
feet from where the body was buried.
Suspicion pointed to her husband as the
probable murderer, and a search was made
for him, but 1t was ascertained that he
had left for Philadelphia in company with
| his little girl

AN AMAZING STORY.
HOW THE GREAT AND RICH 3. AND o.
RAILROAD WAS WRECKED.

Champagne That Cost Millions-Robert
Garrett, Flushed with Wine, Told His
secret-Thomas Scott Anticipated Him.
Mary CARROTS Fine Loyalty.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
arrived in the hands of receivers.
Its descent in that direction began
when Robert Garrett opened a certain
bottle Of champagne. That was the
dearest bottle of champagne on record.
It cost millions of dollars.
The Baltimore and Ohio is the oldest
steam railroad in this country. The
first stone of its roadbed was laid in
Baltimore ON the Fourth Of July, 1898,
with elaborate ceremony. Over its orig
inal length of nine miles mules dragged
its cars. Then Peter Cooper, manu-
facturer of New York, took to Balti-
more steam engine-a curious concern,
something like boiler with a stovepipe
in it. And Cooper's engine broke down,
and the horse express beat it. Then
came the grasshopper engines that were
exhibited at the Worlds fair, the en-
bryonic germs of the tremendous loco
motives Of today. So, historically, the
Baltimore and Ohio is extremely inter-
esting.
The road grew. Il was the first to
cross the Allegheny mountains and tap
the great west. 1t grew, and, thanks to
the energy, the executive capacity, the
untiring labor of John W. Garrett, il
thrived in time
Garrett was of the type of Commo-
dore Vanderbilt, who created the New
York Central, and of Thomas A. Scott,
the father of the Pennsylvania. Garrett
knew everything about a railroad from
the ties to the presidents desk Under
his management the road rose to pros.

AKRON, o., March 81. - Anson b.
Strong was arrested at Bavenna, Portage
county, and charged with the murder of
Mrs. Alvin N. Stone at Tallmadge on
Saturday night.
The evidence on which the charge is
based is largely circumstantial Thirteen
years ago Strong was sent to the peniten-
tinry for horse stealing, his conviction be-
ing secured by the testimony of Stone.
Several years later after his release from
prison, he was arrested again for the same
crime and again convicted on the testimo-
ny Of Stone. He gained his liberty the
second time about three weeks ago and
was at once suspected of the murder of
Stone and bis wife. When taken into Gus.
tody, Strong said he was at the home Of
his sister in Ravenna all of Saturday
night and that he had gone to church
Sunday morning. A search of the sister s
house, however, resulted in the discovery
of a suit of clothes and an overcoat which
had been placed by a stove to dry. There
were no blood stains on the clothing, but
Strongs sister said she had washed the
garments in an outhouse. In one of
Strongs pockets was found railroad tick
OF from Ravenna to Kent, the latter place
being within two miles of the scene of
Saturday nights tragedy. The ticket was
purchased last Saturday.
Strong was brought here and placed in
Jail. The news of the arrest soon spread
and big crowd assembled. There was no
disorder, but Mayor Harper decided to pre-
vent an outbreak by ordering Battery A
of the light artillery to assemble at its ar
mory and await developments.

BOSTON, April IA terrible double ia
tality occurred in the elevator shaft of the
new Morse Button Hole Machinery COM
