Syracuse, was crushed beyond recog-

OF Fort Hunter, attempted to leap
when the engine left the rails, but
he was caught between the engine
and tender and cut and crushed in a
terrible manner. None of the
coaches left the track. though the
trucks OF several of them are de-
rallied. Most of the passengers
were thrown from their berths and
some were slightly injured.
There is a signal tower about a
quarter OF mile west OF the st.
townsville station, and from this the
switches and crossovers are con-
trolled. For some reason. not yet
explained, it was necessary for the
operator TO shift the train from track
No. l to track No. 2, and he had
thrown the switch for the crossover
and set the signals.
The supposition is that the signal
cautioning Engineer Scanlon to slow
down was not seen by him In time
to bring his train under full control,
and when the locomotive struck the
crossover the ponderous machine

Cincinnati. o. Especially Bound
and gagged, the body OF Mrs. Alice
Van Zandt, burned 70 a crisp, was
found lying on top OF the gas stove
in her kitchen. The woman had met
her death while her three young
children we're playing, unconscious
OF the tragedy, in the adjoining
room.
Jesse A. Van Zandt, the murder
ed woman's husband, Is being held
as a witness by the police. The man
admits that he quarreled with his
wife all Friday night and up TO the
time he left the house next morn
ing, an hour. he claims before the
discovery OF the murder
According TO the coroner. Mrs. Van
Zandt was first choked into uncon-
sciousness. then bound and gagged
with strips torn from lace curtain
and placed across the stove, with
her head In the flames OF the burn
er. The horror OF the crime Is In
creased by the coroner's statement
that the woman must have recovered
consciousness before death. When
found all the clothes had been burn
ed of the BODY and the flesh char
red to cinders.
The police discovered that VaH
Zandt had been paying marked at
tention to a young girl for sometime.
The father of this girl had protest
ed strongly against his daughters
conduct, and had finally brought her
before police magistrate, who or
dered her committed to the House OF
Refuge. On her fathers recon-
mendation, however. she was sent
instead to a convent.
Burned To A Crisp.
The crime was discovered when a
neighbor smelled smoke and sum-
moned the fire department. The
body was burned almost TO crisp
only remnants of the clothing stick
ing to it.
The police claim that the clothing
fad been saturated with kerosene. A
proof of this was found in two empty
fruit Jars which had contained coal
oil and in an oil-stained fat iron.
Because no outcry was heard, the
police believe that the woman was
taken unawares and choked into un-
consciousness with the curtain.
Mrs. Clara Garner, the neighbor
who gave the alarm, told the police
that when the smoke had subsided
sufficiently for her to enter the kitch-
en-, she found the rear door locked.
The front door. she said. was open.
When Van zandt, who had been
summoned home by his eight-year-
old son, arrived he was asked:
when did you see your wife
last?"
The question was repeated 10 him
several times before he answered:
"I saw her at 10 o'clock When
left she was going TO prepare dim
ner. What has happened?"
He refused to answer further ques-
tions and was locked up.
The Van Zandts came here from
the East. One neighbor 10 whom
Mrs. Van Zandt had coniided her
troubles said that Mrs. Van Zandt
was preparing to leave her husband.

When the French beat the Formo-

retired to the interior, When the
French pursued them they found a
queer line of defense, beyond which
they could make no progress and in
storming which many died. The For
mosans had poisoned the springs, wa
ter courses, etc, as they retreated, and
the campaigns of the French against
them never got farther than the poison
line. The poison was a native one, as
