RUNAWAY
COAL CAR
Makes Trouble on Rutland
Railroad
SOME NARROW ESCAPES
Four Men Jumped From Car Just Before
it Plunged into Open Drawbrdge.
Tender Of Latter Also Was
Lucky at Burlington.

Burlington, July ia runaway coal
car caused considerable excitement on
the Rutland railroad this morning and
made four men hustle for their lives
to jump before the car plunged of the
iron and down to the bottom Of Lake
Champiain. The car was being shunted
onto a siding and 1t carried four men.
The drawbridge was open and the speed
Of the car carried it rapidly toward
the opening. The four men jumped just
in time to escape being hurled into the
water with the car.
The reason for the accident was that
the men lost control Of the brake on
the car. The draw tender Of the bridge
was oiling the machinery under the
bridge and he had a narrow escape from
death. The accident happened at three
O'Clock and trains over the Rutland rail-
road were delayed for an hour until a
work train from Rutland could be sum
moned.

NOT A SENSATION.
But It Was Thought to Be For a Time
So Report Goes.


The Burlington Free Press to today
has the following:
@People in the city on Saturday from

supposed to be a grave, and situated
between Brookheld and Williamstown,
that served to excite ell the inhabitants
thereabouts and to make creepy shivers
chase up the backs Of the nervous ones
The new made mound about six feet
long and three and one-half feet wide,
resenlbled the mounds seen in the ceme-
teries, and considering its isolated lo-
cation, the country people thereabouts
had it that murder had been done and
were agog with suspense and excitement
in consequence,
@With due ceremony and the proper
amount Of reverence a small group Of
stalwart men gathered about the mound
and proceeded to dig Only the stout Of
heart looked on for no one knew what
horrible sight might meet their eyes
After digging four feet the shoyels
struck solid, compact earth, which ap-
parently had been untouched since the
glaciers crunched their ways across Yer
mont It was the finish of the supposed
grave; the end of the excitement, and
Che complete exlosion Of possible sem

though, for they are all wondering what
the mound meant and who made il"

Of the picnic was a BAN game between

interest because Of its originality was
the umpiring Of John Robertson.

FEAR WOMAN WAS SLAIN.
Body Found Near wiscasset- Missing
Since June 25.

Wiscasset, Ne, July 12.-The body
of Mrs. Abbie Cromwell, age n years,
was found about mile off the road in
the woods on the boundary line between
Dresden and Wiseasset, yesterday and
the authorities suspect murder. The wo-
man Ind been missing since June 25
The preliminary examination did not
dielose the cause of the woman's death,
but it is thought that she might have
been dubbed and robbed She was
known to have had sum Of money
at the time she disappeared, and this
money could not be found today
Mrs Cromwell lived with a daughter
in Dresden and on June 25 she started
to walk through the woods to the home
Of her son, who lives IN this town. She
carried with her some money, as she
wanted her son to drive her to the bank
to make deposit. Despite her age,
Mrs Cromwell was active and in good
health, and the fact that she was found
SO far off her beaten track and that her
money could not be found has led the
authorities to investigate the case.

HARRY'S FIGHT IS BEGUN
New Trial Of Case to Get Him Released
From Matteawan Asylum on the
Ground That He is
Sane.

White Plains, N. ", July t2s--TIarry
X. Thaw began today his last fight to
prove himself sane and to secure his re.
lease from the Matteawan asylum.
Evelyn Thaw, his wife, was not in
court when Justice Mills opened it but
she was expected later When she was
subpoenaed in New York cafe this
morning shortly after midnight she
said:
Il viii testify for Harry and stick to
him as always have, as wife should"
Thaw, whose hair has turned gray,
entered the courtroom early, wearing
heavy spectacles and carrying a palm
leaf fan. He greeted his mother and his
sister, ex-Comtess Of Yarmouth af-
fectionstely
The FIRST witness was Richard Lansing
trustee of the Baptist church at
PoWghkeepsie. He testified that he met
Thaw at religious services and told Of
his memory for months Of poem which
he appreciated. he thought that Thaw
was rational
The case has been before the courts
persistently on various applications and
writs ever since Thaw was acquitted
of the murder Of Stanford White on
the ground Of insanity and forthwith
committed to Matteawan asylum as
dangerous lunatic BY Justice Dowling,
who presided at his trial. at that time
two of the states alienists went on re-
cord in testifying that Thaw was suf-
fering from paranoia, an ineurable form
of insanity. Dist Atty Jerome, who
prosecuted the murder charge against
Thaw, has strenuously opposed at all
times any proposal for the prisoners re-
lease.
