Mad WOman'S Fearful Deed.
Kills Daughter and Mother; Then
Burns Herself Alive.

Psnnyan, N. Y, March IT,
In frenzy Of mania, Mrs. James
Strowbridge of Guysnoga village,
FIVE miles from here, today killed
her daughter, aged 26 and her
mother, aged 80, and after set
ting fire to the house in which the
bodies lay, deliberately entered it
and perished in the flames.
Exactly how or whom the wo.
men were killed is now knowa.
The first intimation tho neigh
bors had of tho tragedy was this
afternoon, when Mrs. Straw,
BRIDGES home was found to bs on
fire and Immediately after she was
seen to set fire to another house
across the street in which her
daughter lived, and also to two
barns in which wero 18 head of
cattle and three horses. Whom .
party of men attempted to break
open the barn to release the AMI
mails, Mrs. Strowbrldge, who was
standing IN front Of her blazing
home, brandishing revolver, fir
cd at them repeatedly. Several of
the men made a rush, Choping to
close with the mad woman and
disarm her, but she held them at
bay with the revolver. While
they were hesitating she sudden.
ly cut her throat, filed pail Of
water at the we'll, thrust . quanti-
ty of hay and straw in it, and
placing tho hole mass on her head,
rushed into tho blazing house, in
which her charred body and the
bodies of her daughter and moth
er were found after the fire had
burned itself out.
The three women lived q her.
nit life, working on the farm like
men and often wearing mons
clothing. They are supposed to
have been we'll to do, Mrs.
Strovbridge is believed to have
gono suddenly mad. For several
days she appeared to be acting
strangely, but her method of life
was such that mono of tthe neigh
bors ever had any communication
with her. A suit recently brought
against Mrs. Strowbridge for
wages may have aggravated her
trouble.
