Woman Meets Tragic Death.

Morrow, Ca, Jan. 1.-The man
gled and partially dismembered body
of Mrs. Sarah Mcintyre, a wealthy
widow, 60 years of age, living near
Morrow, was found on the Central of
Georgia railway tracks one-quarter
Of mile from the station here at 8
O'Clock, upon the arrival Of the Gen.
trail accommodation train from the

The mangled body was observed
by the engineer, who was leaning
from his cab window, just as the
train bore down upon it. Before the
train could be brought to stand
still 1t had passed entirely over the
body, but did not disturb 1t, as it
was seen upon approaching.
Head was Severed.
When the train crew rushed back
to the scene, they found the severed
head Of the dead woman lying be-
tween the rails thirty feet from the
mangled body. From all appear
ances the head seemed to have been
severed by the fast Central train to
Atlanta. which arrived here from the
South at $40 o'clock, Just before 1t
is daylight.
The body was removed from the
track by the train crew and placed in
charge of the section foreman.

How President Roosevelt severely
rebuked a party Of girls from the
National Park Seminary at Forest
Glen, Md, for riding past him on
Thanksgiving Day In Rock Greek
Park, and how he caused the hors 4
one of the girls was riding to rear
and jump by striking 1t with his
riding whip Is told in a story which
has just leaked out and been con-
firmed by Miss e. 1. Sisson, teacher
in the school, who was the chaperon
for the party.
Miss Sisson and three of the girls
OF the institution, whose names are
withheld, went for a horseback ride
through Rock Greek Park in the
crisp air of Thanksgiving morning.
AS they were Jogging. along one Of
the tree-lined roads of the national
reserve they saw party ahead Of
them, which included two women and
two men. AS they closed up the gap
between the two parties Miss Sisson
says she recognized one OF the men
as President Roosevelt.
For some time the Seminary party
rode slowly behind the President and
his party. But the spirited animals
wanted to go faster, declares Miss
Sisson, and finally the girls galloped
past the Presidential party. When
they slowed their horses down again
a few minutes later they heard rapid
hoof-beats behind them. The rider
! was pressing his horse hard and he
soon overlook them.
''As we were riding four abreast at
the time the Presidents horse crowd
ed us no little as he dashed past
said Miss Sisson, continuing the mar
| rative. "As he brushed past his
| horse struck the foot of one of the
young ladies, knocking 1t from the
stirrup, and blow from the Presi-
| dents crop fell on the horses flank.
| The young woman's horse reared
and but for her GOODNESS and admira-
BILE horsemanship she might have
been thrown beneath the feet of the
horses. l do not know whether the
blow was Intentional.
You know that you should not
go ahead Of our party said the Pres
ident, as he rode past us and turned
in the saddle to look us squarely in
the face. He then Joined his COM
panions.
Naturally we felt very much NOR
titled. None Of us intended an affront
to the President, and cannot under
stand his action. The President ap-
peared to be in race, but, Of course,
l do not know about that. / only
know how We felt about it.
81 prefer not to give the names of
the young ladies in the party. They
are daughters Of wealthy parents,
highly connected, and / am sure their
| parents would object to the noto-
riety attending such an affair.""
The story was told about the Sem
| mary later, and has been heard by
many society people in Washington.
