SUICIDE AND NOT ACCIDENT.
A Man and Woman Seek Death I'm
der Rushing Train.

New York. Sept. 26.-The police this
morning were convinced that the man
and woman who were killed by a Coney
Island train in the Malbone Street tun-
mel, near Prospect Park, yesterday. did
not meet with death by accident, but by
their own intent.
The mother of John II. Feeny, of 63S
Grand Avenue. Brooklyn, called at the
morgue this morning and identified the
clothing OF the dead man as that of her
SON. twenty-six years old. She knew
nothing of the woman, she said She
said that her son was a laborer
No distinguishing marks of any kind
are on the clothing of the woman, and
her body is too frightfully mangled TO
admit of a personal identification. Over
a score of people called at the morgue
this morning to see the bodies.
The two were killed shortly after l
o'clock yesterday afternoon. AS Engin-
eer George Kessel in charge of a train
for Coney Island, entered the tunnel he
saw the bodies on the track hundred
Yards ahead. He tried to stop the train
but could not before the man and wom-
an had been run over and their bodies
dragged fifty yards under the engine
tender.

duct of Oliver Rice

New York. Sept. 26--Before jury of

trust for Oliver, on condition that if he
was good boy he should enjoy the
benefits on reaching a certain age Ra-
chel S. Rice, his aunt. he'd the property
in trust which was to revert to her If
Oliver ran off with a circus or set the
barn on fire blaeking up for an amateur

things, but his aunt accuses him of be-
ing Sassy and bad enough in other
ways TO forfeit the legacy SO the boy
will invade the Suffolk County supreme
court in October, and battle for his rights.
In his legal prayer Oliver asserts that
he has always been a good boy, and kept
his, clothes clean. He didn't fight, swear.
smoke cigarettes or steal lead pipe from
vacant houses. Oliver invariably said
Good morning and Good evening" to
his elders. and carefully washed his feet
sefcre going to bed.
The aunt VIII summon nsighbors to
prove that Oliver Is not entis'ad to tn.
legacy. The boy has a .arge string of wit
