MOBILE STRUCK BY HURRICANE,
Many Persons. Killed and $4,000, 900
Damages Done.

Mobile, Ala.-With 1875 lives lost
and property damaged to the ex-
tent of $S,000,00O in this city and
it's vicinity, the Gulf storm which
ragged for thirty-six hours has left
behind a devastated section which it
will take a long time to rebuild.

nearly a normal basis, it will be
months before the residents of the
outlying sections along Mobile Bay
will be able to repair the damage
done by the storm.
Pensacola, Fla.-The entire water
front here is a mass of tangled
wreckage. The big bridge of the
Louisville & Nashville road, span
ming Escambia Bay, was demolished,

ever, that the foundations of the
bridge are intact and the work
of rebuilding will start at onc AL
most every house in the city was
damaged in the storm, and it will
be several days before the city even
begins to emerge from the confu.

For years Lizzie Halliday roved the
Hudson and Mohawk valleys as queen
of a gypsy tribe that made a living
chiefly through raids on the farmers.
1t was in 1898 that she led her band
into Sullivan County, when she met
old Paul Halliday, then in his sixty
fifth year. He lived on his small
mountain farm with his bachelor
brother. Later she married him.
She had been there four years
when the McQuillans, mother and
daughter, who were lured to the
farm, were killed by Mrs. Halliday
at the same time she murdered her
husband, and the crime was brought
home to her. Long before this she
had burned the Halliday homestead
to the ground, and the imbecile and
crippled son of Halliday in it.
After the fire, which did not even
cause her arrest, she was discovered
stealing horses neal Newburg, and a
term in an insane asylum saved her
from prison at this time. Set free
once more, she remained quiet until
the disappearance of Mrs. McQuiIlan
and her daughter, Sarah, started an
investigation that resulted in the dis
COFSIy VI IASll IluClldtSQ UOulSS.
Her trial and her final commitment
to Matteawan are a matter of history.
She had been sentenced to be hanged
when petitions were circulated in her
behalf and a commission, which Mrs.
Halliday aided materially by her pre-
tended attempts at suicide in her cell
always when rescue was near
finally adjudged her insane.
Artemus Brewer, another of Mrs.
Halliday's husbands, died after a year
of beatings at the hands of the pow
erful woman, and yet George Smith,
an old-time friend of Brewer, who
saw him die, married the widow. She
la%ughingly gave him a cup of pois-
oned tea one day and left him. When
the doctors brought him around the
had fled with another man,
Hiram Parkinson.
On the way to Matteawan Asylum
Mrs. Halliday attacked Deputy Sheriff
Morris and bit him in the hand. He
later died of blood poisoning, caused
by the bite. She did her best on the
train to kill him.

the overhead trolley on its electrical
system through the resort. Although
the third rail was laid without a per-
nit from the Council the railroad
will oppose in the courts any attempt

its shore service, adding five minutes
to the schedule. Councils sresolu-

MAD MURDERESS
KILLS GIRL NURSE
Lizzie Halliday, Inmate of Mat
teawan, Takes Seventh Life.
ACT PROMPTED BY AFFECTION
Woman Knows Favorite Attendant is
About to Leave Hospital and At
tacks Her With Shears-Stabs
Victim 200 Times,

tAStIul @OO LINES.
Matteawan, N. Y.-Mrs. Lizzie Hal
liday, upon whose head rests the guilt
of Staying six men and added
a seventh victim to her list in the
hospital for insane criminals, when
she stabbed her nurse, Miss Nellie
Wicks, aged tw~enty-four, to death.
Miss Wicks had showed such tact
n skill in the management of forty
or fifty women patients that she was
promoted to be head attendant of the
women's department. Mrs. Halliday,
a woman of middle age and somewhat
imbecile, showed a great fondness for
her from the outset, and the attend
ant made her one of her most trusted
patients.
Recently Miss Wicks announced
her intention of leaving the hospital
to study to become a trained nurse.
Mrs. Halliday took the announcement
to heart and begged her not to leave.
The young woman laughed and
humored her patient, but continued
her preparations for departing. Sew
eral times Mrs. Halliday had said she
would kill Miss Wicks before she
would let her go, but she has made so
many threats against different per-
sons since her Incarceration that little
attention was paid to her. Least of
all Miss Wicks feared her.
Miss Wicks entered a Mushroom at
a quarter to s O'Clock a. M. She was
followed stealthily by Mrs. Halliday,
who had in her hand a pair of shears
which she was allowed to have to do
sewing. Creeping up behind Miss
Wicks, the lunatic struck her on the
head and felled her. Then taking
the nurses keys she locked the door,
leaving the keys in the lock so the
door could not be opened from the
outside. With the fury of a tigress
she returned to the attack, and, using
the shears, she stabbed the girl over
200 times over the heart and in the
face and neck. Miss Wicks' screams
brought help, and the door was
broken down.
.. Mrs. Halliday stood at a window,
calmly watching the death struggles.
A maniacal smile of triumph lighted
her face.
"She won't leave me now" she
said, and laughed as she spoke.
Miss Wicks was hurried to a cot,
but died within an hour, without re-
covering consciousness. Mrs. Halli-
day laughed gleefully when told she
was dead.
When Coroner Goring asked her
why she had committed the murder
she replied: "She tried to leave me-"
Mrs. Halliday will not be placed in
a cell. Superintendent Lamb says
she will be carefully guarded, but
there will be no punishment for her.

The South speaks no lnvective,
And she writes no word Of blame.
But she calls all men to witness
That they stand UP without shame.
Nay. she sends 1t forth to oil the world
That they stand up filled with pride,
With true love for living comrades,
And With praise for those who died;
And in this manly frame OF mind
Till death they will abide.
God and their conscences alone
Give measure Of right and wrong;
The race may fall unto the swift
And the battle to the strong;
Il But the truth will shine In history
And blossom into song.

To leave space for tears.
