The advantage to the Unionn Pacific, how

Illinois Central railroad is to build line
TO Omaha will put that company on an
equality with the Chicago Omaha lines
In the handling of transcontinental busi-
ness. There is little reason to doubt that
holders of Alton stock can count on getting

A FOUL CRIME.
Mother and Three Children Murdered.
Bodies Horribly MutilatGd.

WILLIAMSPORT. Pa. November 3D.
Montgomery, this county, is all IN fren-
~ tonight over the discovery that whole
sale murder has been committd at a farm
about mile from the town. Several weeks
ago there appeared on the scene a peddler
by the name of Hummell, who married a
widow with three children. For the past
week neighbors driving past the farm no.
ticed that there was no sign OF habitation,
and some comment was made An nvesti-
CATION made late this afternoon revealed
the fact that horrible crime had been
committed. On searching further the
bodies of two children were found hidden
beneath a straw stack On going into the
house the mother and another child were
found dead in the sleeping apartments.
The husband was seen around the town
yesterday but since that time nothing is
known of his whereabouts.
Should he be found he would probably be
lynched, as a mob is now searching the
vicinity armed with guns and ropes.
The dead We're horribly mutllated. the
murderer evidently using club in carry
ing out his fieldish crime.
The coroner and reporters left on the
midnight train for the scene OF the crime
to make an official investigation.
