MURDERED WOMAN
LAID ON TRACK
Train Came Along and Cut the Body in
Two-Strange Revelations at
Coalberg, N. J., Yes
terday.

New York, July 20.--A strange mur.
der case developed when officials OF
hackensack, n. j., examined the body
of Mrs. 0telia Eberhard, which was
found early yesterday lying on the
tracks OF the New York, Susquehanna
q Western railroad, near Coalberg N. j.,
discovered bullet wounds. A passing
train had cut tine body in two.
0telia Eberhard, daughter OF the
dead woman, was wounded three times
by bullets and dragged herself a mile
to an isolated farmhouse. The police
are hunting for August Eberhard. a
nephew of the murdered woman, believ.
ing that he may know something of the
crime.
Mrs. Eberbard and hsradanghter ar
rived from Vienna last Thursday on the
invitation of August Eberhard The Eb.
erhard girl states that there was an
understanding that August was to mar.
ry her. Saturday, Miss Eberhard says,
she and her mother were invited by Au.
gust to 90 to Rochelle park in New
Jersey, and that they wandered around
there until evening. At the Coalberg
coal pockets, the girl says, she saw a
flash between two cars and heard re.
volyer shot, followed by series Of
shots. She started to run and felt that
she was hit. Her cousin, she says, ran
mp to her and urged her to hurry away.
After running with her few steps, he
turned back. Then, she states, she heard
more pistol shots. Consciousness left
her then. She had been struck three
times by bullets, none of which however,
caused serious wounds.
She saw her mother fall, she says,
when the first shots were fired Recoy-
ering consciousness shortly afterward,
she found her way to farmhouse,
whose inmates bound up her wounds and
escorted her into Hackensack yesterday.
BY that time the coroner was working
on her mothers case. The wounded
girl was taken to the police station,
where her story threw light on several
phase of the affair.
Miss Eberhard says her mother had
81, 200 in United States currency and
$500 in German notes when they left
for their excursion. The $1,000 was
missing when the body was found, The
German money was untouched.
The police say that Eberhard, too,
may have been murdered, and his body
of. Meanwhile, however, they
are making every effort to find him if
he is alive.

FOUND DEAD
In R. R. YARDS
THE BODY OF JAS. BARLEY (CoL-
oRED) FOUND BY A FREIGHT
CREW OF THE WABASH
WHILE SWITCHING WEST
OF BRIDGE wEDHEs-
DAY NIGHT.
The BODY Was BADLY MANGLET
Whether BARLEY Came to His
Death by Being Hit by the
Train or He Was a vicgim of
Foul Play Is Question.
THE BODY WAS BADLY KANGLED

Jas. Bartley, colored, age about As
years, was found dead shortly after
midnight, Wednesday night. near the
water tank In the western part Of the
Wabash railroad yards by a train
crew, who were doing some switch
ing. Bartley had evidently been hit
by some train. Both Of his feet were
cut of at the shoe top, one arm was
badly mashed, and his body greatly
mangled.
BARLEY, formerly Of Centralla, had
come to this city some time ago He
was employed at VIM. Kemper's saloon
to do the cleaning aud scrubbing.
What Bartley was doing In this part
OF town and in what manner he came
TO his death is somewhat Of a mystery.
He. resides In the east part Of town,
and that be was found on the opposite
side of the city is hard to explain.
One theory issadvauced that Bart.
ley had sat down on the edge Of the
track and had fallen asleep. He
was considered Of very sleepy
disposition, going to sleep wherever
be happened to stop, and probably
while walking along the tracks in this
neighborhood, he stopped and sat
down on the tracks.
Another theory is that OF foul play
Bartley was seen about 10 o'clock
Wednesday night by Price Johnson,
colored, bartender at Kemper's saloon,
when he is SAID to have stated that he
was going home. This is the last
time, as far as is known, that any one
saw Bartley alive.
Coroner Paul e. Coil held an inquest
Thursday afternoon. The jury was
