FAIRMONT. w. Va. May 2-Three
large engines, belonging to the B, 4 O..
Railroad company. are wrecked almost
beyond possibility OF repair. and the
entire end OF the roundhouse torn
down. as the result Of the crazy pranks
of Samuel Gicord, a young man from
layenne. country town near here.
Gieord came to the city. but evinced
no symptoms of insanity while
mingling with his friends here. Il IS
told that he drank To moderate de-
gree. but not enough to render him
mad.
AS he was walking out near the
round house last night he became sud
denly overwhelmed with peculiar
hallucination that he had received or
ders to take a train out. and with a
demonical yell he boarded a freight
engine that was lying near with steam
up and pulled the throttle open.
II was one of the largest of the
"camelbacks" used to haul coal ofer
the mountains. On the same siding.
directly in front, lay two similar en-

to be in the cabs.
With a terrible rush the engine con
tanning the demented man tore up the
track In the direction of the round
house and struck one Of the engines
with crash that was heard 'or
blocks around. Next came the other
engine. and it suffered the same fate
as the first. although the wild engine
had slackened It's speed somewhat

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 2.-Hoping
10 save his sweetheart's brother from
death in the penitentiary, John Fitz-
hugh pleaded guilty to robbery and re-

spite Of his sacrifice, Louis Kerr, his
chum, and the broher of Carrie Kerr,
Fitzhugh's sweetheart, was given
five years sentence. Governor BecR-
ham has. however, granted him a two
months respite on the assurance of
the jail physician that Kerr's death liz

II Kerr dies FitZhugh. who is only

his life in vain.
Carrie Kerr. his sweetheart. is 16
years old. and very pretty. Fitzhugh
and Kerr were chums, and the boy fell
in love with Carrie. Then both Kerr
and Fitzhugh were arrested. Kerr
was not well and when they put him
In jail he became worse. His friends
knew that II he went to the peniten-

officers bad a strong case against him.
Fitzhugh knew all this. and though
he knew he could have escaped on

worst, he pleaded guilty. hoping to
save the brother of the girl he loved.
He expected to get short term In the
reform school, but when he got ten
years in the penitentiary he was too

waste of steam, placed quietus on the
