HALLIDAY W AS KILLED.

 

HOW THE ACCUSED BEHAVES

Storming Like a Maniac When Visitor:
Appear—Annoyed by Efforts of Ama-
teur Photographers -to Obtain Por-
traits — Lynching Possible.

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., Sept. 8.——The ex-
citement in Burlingham and vicinity caus-
ed by the finding. of the bodies of two wom-
en in Paul Halliday’s old barn on Monday,
and the identification of the dead yester-
day as Mrs. Margaret McQuillan and her
daughter Sarah of Newburg, was intensi-
fied this morning by the finding of the body
of Paul l-Ialliday, the husband of the wom-
an new under ail-est for the other murders,
under the floor of the house in which the
Hallidays lived. '

The discovery was made by a man named
Griess, a New Yorker, who owns a farm
adjoining the Halliday-tplace.

He has seen and heard some strange
things about the Halliday house, but has
said nothing, as he did not wish to be'mixed
up in the affair if the mystery could be
cleared up without him.

He was dissatisfied when the search for
Paul Halliday’s body was abandoned and
this morning went to the house and took
up a portion of the floor.

In one spot there were indications that
the earth had been recently disturbed.

He sank a crowbar into thefspot, and the
end struck something that he believed to
be a body. Hastening to Burlingham be
notified Justice Taylor, and with two or
three others they returned to the house,
dug down and soon came upon a corpse,
which they at once recognized as that of
old man Halliday. ’

An important discovery has been made
by Constable Scott, who has Mrs, Halliday
under his charge. In an outhouse has been
found an Elgin gold watch with “S. J. M.”
engraved on the case and a short chain
with a ball attached, also a band ring, with
the initials “S. J. M.” inside, and another
ring with a garnet stone. These articles,
found by Officer Scott, had evidently not
been thrown away until yesterday.

A Lynching Not Impossible.

Public feeling against Mrs. Halliday has ,

run higher than ever, and she may be
lynched at any moment.

The remark attributed to Mrs. Halliday
to the effect that there were two women
she wanted to kill and then would be will-

THE HALLIDAY RESIDENCE:
ing to swing for it has been accepted by some
as indicating that Mrs. Halliday had a
grudge against the McQuillans that was of
long standing. _

But if thatwasthecase the McQuillans
and Mrs. 'Halliday would necessarily have
come in contact a sufficient number 'of
times for the McQuillans to know her,
either by sight or name. So far as has
been ascertained up to the present time
the McQuillans never met or saw Mrs.
Halliday, either by Mrs. Smith or by any
other name, until she called on Mrs. Mc-
Quillan and requested her to go to work
at the Halliday farmhouse. _

UnlessMrs. Halliday is really insane,
there is apparently no motive to account
for her having been led to lure the Me-
Quillans to the farmhouse for the purpose
of murdering them.

The Question of Motive.

There wofild be amotive, of course, if, as
has been reported, Mrs. McQuillan was
known to carry on her poison the sum of
$400, but that is nothing more than a ru-
mor, which has probably sprung up in the
fertile imagination of some of those who
live about Bux'linghain. lint the nephew
of Mrs. McQuillan, and (be others who
came from Newburg lo idedt‘fy her, and
her own husband do not know that she
ever carried any more than a small sum of
money. .-

The examination of the unfortunate wo-
man was continued today in the little hall
back of,‘the grocery store in Burlingham,
and the same disgraceful scenes of yester-
day were repeated, to the great delight of
those present. When the constable and

 

his volunteer assistants have been pulling
and hauling» thefwoman all over the road,
even to the little courtroom, when she has
been trying .to wrench herself free, has
been shrieking and’making an exhibition
of herself, they have laughed long and
heartily. ‘ . ' _

The woman acts and looks like a wild
beast at bay, and to all intents and pur-
poses is practically nothing ' mere. She is
of medium stature and strongly built. Her
face is one seen every day at the landing
bureau at Ellis island. Her features are
heavy and coarse. She has been kept in
Constable Scott’s house. It is a rickety
looking building near the courthouse. She
has been kept handcuffed night and day,
because when strangers come in she be-
comes yiolent. ' . .

Trying to Get Photographs.

Anybody who wished to do so was until
yesterday privileged at all times to enter
the room as. they pleased. Local photog-‘
‘raphers have made every eflfort to obtain a
picture of her. .She always tried to keep
her face away from them, and more than
once has been pounced upon by men in the
crowd and by the exertion of brute force
has been compelled to sit quietly.

The woman’s shrieks, her cries to be left
alone, could be heard a long distance away
from where these scenes were enacted, yet
they excited no pity for her. There was no -
relaxation in the efforts. The louder she
cried the louder was the laughter, inter-
spersed with remarks about tying one end
of a rope around her neck and the other

‘end to a horse and starting the horse on a

gallop.

If Mrs. Halliday is sane and has killed
both women, has even killed Halliday’s
son, as She is said to have done before she
burned the house; even if she killed her
first husband and a child by that husband,
as many believe, there is no reason why she
should be treated as she has been since her
arrest. .

The experts in the state hospital say that
she has been insane, and it is not impossi-
ble that she should be insane again.

llIrs. Halliday Attempts Suicide.
NEWBURG, N. Y., Sept. 8.—A telephone '
message from Middletown reports that
Mrs. Halliday has attempted suicide. «

Chief Bushyhead's Shrewd Scheme.

GUTHRIE, O. T., Sept. 8.—It has been dis-
covered that ex—Chief Bushyhead of the
Cherokees and a syndiatc of wealthy spec-
ulators have perfected a scheme to grab the
entire township of Kildare, the county seat
of “K” county on the Cherokee strip, on
opening day. A company “of 150 cowboys
and half breeds has been formed and trained
to enter from the Osage reservation. White
settlers cannot enter this reservation, but
the cowboys and half breeds are there al-
ready, by permission Of the government,
herding cattle in leased pastures, and they ,
will make a dash across the river, and rid-
ing six miles easily beat the settlers, who
must come 14 miles from the Kansas line.

' Human Skulls In the Hold.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.—The Austrian bark
Vila, which was picked up derelict off Hat
teras by the Norwegian steamship Breidal-
blik on Aug. 30 and brought into this port,-
has as strange a cargo as is ever found
afloat. It consists of bales of rags, which
are common, and of bones, which are un-
usual. There are all kinds of bones—ani-
mal bones and human bones, skulls of
horses and cattle, and skulls of human be-
ings, arm bones and leg bones and cattle
hoofs. They were collected in deserts and
cemeteries and cities of Egypt and were
shipped to be used in making fertilizers.

 

A Noted \Vriter Dead.

PROVIDENCE, Sept. 8.——Miss Emma M.
Converse of Providence, an astronomical
writer of 'note, died of pneumonia at the
Mountain View House, Whitefield, N. H.
Miss Converse was born in Salem in 1820.
She had been a contributor to The Atlantic
Monthly, The Scientific American' and
Youth’s Companion, and as a translator
she had been engaged by Appleton & Co.
on notable works. Her burial will take
place at Norwich.

ing of a board over a coal pocket in the
Milnesville co‘licry this morning Michael

one of the oldest residents of Gladwin

miles from Gladwin City, was burned to

. Sick of Her Bargain. .

One of the, best girls any fellow ever
knew and the pride of a village not a
thousand miles from Pittsburg made a
fatal mistake warn she married Being
such a happy girl, so sensible and so
much sought after by the best young
men in the neighborhood, every one con-

catch. But she didn’t, and now her
neighbors are wondering how it all hap«
pened. She married a fool. That ex-
plains it all. (No need to go into details.
The fact that be dressed well and that
he moved in good society and was known
as a ”very nice young man” will not
make the case any plainer. He is a fool,
and that is all there is about it.

His foolishness consisted largely in
believing that the world was not made
right, that the people are wrong hearted
as well as wrong headed, and that it is
the duty of every one to array himself
against everything as it exists and keep
up a constant grumbling, growling and
complaining. This young man was very
religious in a sense. He honestly and
faithfully endeavored. to keep himself
unspotted from the world by avoiding
contact with it. He went not into bad
company, nor did he patronize picnics
and evening parties, but staid at home
reading good books and thinking how he
could spin for himself a cocoon that
would keep the outside world army
from him. He did not realize the fact
that he who has himself for companion
and friend is in very poor company.

It was this sort of chap that ourmodel
girl married. She ought to have known
better, but she mistook his knowledge of
books for an evidence of brains and of
learning, while the fellow really hadn’t
two ideas of his own about anything.
The inside history of this case shows that
she did not love him any better than she
had other men,‘but he was such a nice
young fellow that she thought there
would be no risk taking him. In fact,
she took him in the hope of escaping the
very misery she is now suffering. He
doesn’t beat her with a club, nor does he
get drunk and smash the furniture, but
he tires her life out by lecturing her,
finding fault continually and never com-
mending. and trying to make her under-
stand that her place is at home and that
her duty is to him. Their home is dreary
and chilly, and their lives about the same.
. They are both satisfied that marriage
is a failure, and they cannot be made to
believe otherwise. It isn’t the man who
has the least book knowledge that is the
biggest fool, nor are those who areshort

with numskulls. —Some of the most de-.
lightful people one may meet are those
who are blessed with an abundance of"
common sense. They lmow absolutely
nothing of Darwin nor of - Briggs and
not a great deal about electrical science,
and they may even eat with their knives,
pour their codes into saucers and blow

the soup to cool it, yet with all these, , ‘
=dovubtedly renew the contest in the house

shortcomings and defects "they are‘thsi
most delightful people to know. Their
hearts are all right, and they und‘éfl‘
stand enough of the science of life to
know how to live comfortably them-
selves and to make others happy.-—Pitts—

Water Started These Two Fires.

No principle of natural philosophy is
more familiar than the power of water’
to extinguish fire. And yet. strange to
say, water has been known to cause de-
structive fires, not by an accident, but
by direct chemical action. One case of
the kind was in a large factory. A flood
caused the water to rise to’a pile of iron
filings, which oxidized so rapidly that
they developed great heat and set fire
to the nearby woodwork. The building
was entirely destroyed.

Another case is still more remarkable.
Several engines were throwing water
upon a burning building, and the water
found its way to another building,
which contained quicklime. The
slaking of the lime, caused of course
by the contact of the water, generated
intense heat, and the heat set fire to the

building. That was a sarcasm of cir-
cumstances, wasn’t it?——Philadelphia

mes.

CONGRESSIONAL GHITGHAT.

What Is Occupying the Attention of the
Two Branches of the National Legis-
lature—Repeal Bill Taken up In

the Senate—Other Gossip. 4

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Both houses of
congress are rapidly approaching the con-
dition depicted in Sheridan’s play where
everybody has hold of somebody else and
each one is afraidto let go. The hesitancy
which the repeal leaders in the senate dis;
play in bringing the question of a definite
end for the silver debate to a sharp issue is
giving strength to the trimmers who are
advocating a compromise.

The impression this morning was that
Mr. Stewart (Rep, Nev.) with his aids,
Messrs. Morgan (Dem., Ala.) and Teller
(Rep, Colo.) will endeavorto consume the
rest of the week in fllibustering oratory.
Divided counsels among the friends of
repeal prevent the adoption at present of
any heroic means to get down to business,
but the patience of the senate is becoming
worn out by trituration.

In the house no one can predict what the
policy will be pending final action by the
senate. A member of the committee on
rules is authority for the statement that
the committee has not taken up the subject
of adjournment, and no conclusion has
been reached as to what the house should
do. He said that the seeming delay in
adopting the rules was due to a. desire on
the part of the committee not to antago-
nize too vigorously the silver men, and
thereby start filibustering tactics against
the rules, until the adoption of which no
business could begin.

Interest In Clerkships.

Members of the house appear to be more
interested in the report of committee on
accounts than anything else, and now that
the rules have been adopted this report
will soon be forthcoming. This committee
has charge of the matter relating to the
appointment of clerks to committees, and
inasmuch as a great many chairmen are
anxious to know what will be done for
them in this direction the pressure being
brought to bear upon that committee will

' cause its report to be presented in a day or

two.

Now that the introduction of bills is in
order, and their reference to committees
has put all the committees of the house on
a working basis, the policy which the house
is to pursue must be soon unfolded. The
committee on appropriations has already
provided for an existing deficit, and the
bill it reported has become alaw. The ways
and means committee has a much more seé
rious matter to undertake in devising
means to make. revenues and expenditures
balance. Already various antagonistic prop
'ositions have been submitted.

All factions agree that more money is
needed in the treasury. The division will
come upon any proposition to provide that
money, and any such discussion will un-

between the silver and antisllver forces.
Some will favor the issue of bonds endoth.
ers the issue of certificates based upon the
seignorage of the silver already in the
treasury: Three separate bills with the
latter end in view have already been pre-
pared for introduction. .
Talbert’s Currency Scheme. .
Amony the many currency schemes the
newest is that proposed by Mr. Talbert
(S. 0.). The bill which he attempted to
introduce in the house yesterday for the
enlargement of the volume of currency
and the distribution of the same provides
that upon the demand of any state the
secretary of the treasury be directed to is-
sue government notes, which shall be a legal
tender for all debts, public and [private,

'and shall be noninterest bearing, and an

amount of said notes not to exceed $30 per
capita shall be issued by the secretary of
the treasury to such state. , -

The state making a demand shall deliver
to the secretary the lawful bonds of the
state to the full amount of government
notes demanded, such bonds to be taxable
at the rate of 1 per cent, said tax to be cov-
ered into the treasury before the lst day of
April of each year by the proper state au-
thorities, and the bonds to fall due at the
expiration of 20 years from their date. Each
state to which the notes may be issued
shall make provision for the distribution
of the same as it may deem best for the
welfare of its inhabitants.

Routine Proceedings.

After the disposition of some morning

business Mr. Voorhees (Dem., Ind.) moved

. to proceed to the consideration of the bill
.. to repeal the Sherman act. In connection
‘ _ 7"‘With that motion Mr. Morgan (Dem., Ala.)

said'that although he had intended to ask

'- a vote on his resolution (for a joint select
’ committee on finance) he did not wish to

antagonize the chairman of the finance
committee. He had had some conference
with Mr. Voorhees and had agreed not to
press his resolution today.

The senate then without any objection
took up the repeal bill, Mr. Stewart (Rep,
Nev.) being entitled to the floor to continue
his speech. Mr. Stewart, however, offered
to forego his right temporarily in favor-
of Mr. Walthall (Dem., Miss), who desired
ta address the senate.

Mr. Walthall expressed his willingness
to co-operate in prompt action On the bill
and suggested a simple mode to promote it—
that was to put into the form of an enact-
ment the declaration of policy made ' the
bill. If that were done, the bill co (1 be
passed in half the time.

When Mr. Walthall finished his remarks,
Mr. Stewart (Rep, Nev.) set out again with
the third part of his speech, opening it with
an article from a New York paper, which
he said gave the law to the senate.

Among the numerous petitions presented
and referred was one by Mr. Wolcott (Rep.,
Colo.) for the immediate repeal of the Me—
Kinley tariff bill. He said the petition was
on one of the printed forms sent out'by the
New York banks for the repeal of the Sher-
man 'act, but that the petitioners (all the
citizens of a town in Colorado) had substi-
tuted the McKinley tariff bill for the Sher-
man act. __ ,

A PRIGHTI'UL WREGK.

The Pan Handle Express and an Accom-

Fearful Results.

LIMA, 0., Sept. 8.—The Pan Handle ex-
press, east bound, and the Pittsburg, Fort

Wayne, Chicago and Valparaiso accomodzv

tion, west bound, collided this morning.
The baggage car of the express was tele-
scoped, and in the smoker not a soul es-
caped. Twelve dead were taken out, and
more can be seen. It will take some time
to get the bodies out.

One man has his head out of the window
pinioned by the debris, and he is stone
dead. A tramp riding between the engine
and baggage car was literally crushed to
jelly. Bodies can be seen‘pinioned in all
shapes under the debris. The cause is be-
lieved to have been carelessness on the part
of some one. The wreck happened at 9:30
a. m.

Union Pacific’s Labor Troubles.

OMAHA, Sept. 8.—-Something that has
been taken as semiofiiciai intimation that
the proposed tender of a loan of 10 per cent
of their wages to Jan. 1 would not be ac-
cepted has caused a revulsion of feeling
among the Union Pacific employees on the
east end of the road. Those on the west
end have heard the same thing and are re
ported as votingto accept no cut of pay.
Some of the men on the east end are now
said to have. voted that they would not ac-
cept a reduction. . 4

Workman Against the National Guard.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 8.—-The national con-
vention of brewery workmen, which is. in
session here this week, yesterday indorsed
the action of Governor Altgeld of Illinois
in pardoning Schwab, N echo and Fielden.
It was also declared that hereafter no mem-
ber of the union could join, the national
guard, and those who are now guardsmen
must withdraw from the military organi-
zations with which they are connected or
forfeit membership in the union.

Value of Good Cooking.
We masculines have yet to learn that
the kitchen is the most important end of

the household. If that goes wrong, the .

whole establishment is wrong. It de-
cides the health of the household, and
health settles almost everything. Heavy
bread, too great frequency of plum pud.
ding, mingling of lemonade and cus-
tards, unmasticable beef, have decided
the fate of sermons, legislative bills and
destiny of empires. The kitchen knife
has often cut off the brightest prospects.
The kitchen gridiron has often consumed
at commercial enterprise. The kitchen
kettle has kept many a good man in hot
water. It will never be fully knoWn
how much the history of the world was
affected by good or bad cookery.——Nash-
ville Adecate.

ITALIAN RUNS AMUOK.

He Is Afterward Shot Dead by: Polio.-
mun Whom He \Vas About
to Attack.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 .--Policeman M0001"
mick was on his way to the precinct star.
tion house from the Sixth-sixth street ele«
vated railroad station today when hesaw
an Italian flourishing a revolver and shoot-
ing toward some people. ,

When the Italian saw McCormick, he
fired two shots at him, whereupon McCor-

. mick pulled his revolver and tried to shoot,

but the cartridge missed fire.

The Italian then pulled out a dagger and
chased McCormick, who turned and ran
from the infuriated man, stopping only
when he met Policeman Bauer.

The Italian ran up to Bauer and made a
vicious lunge at him with his knife, at the
same time shouting at the top of his veice.

Believing that his life was in danger,
Officer Bauer then drew his revolvé’r and
fired point blank, intending, as he says,
only to terrify the man. The Italian, how-
ever, fell dead on the instant. An enor‘
mous crowd followed Policeman Bauepto
the station house, where he surrendei‘ed
himself, at the same time explaining the
occurrence. Bauer was suspended tem-
porarily. .

It appears that the Italian was discharged
last night, and after the foreman had re-
fused to reinstate him he fired several shots
at him and some others. It was at this
point that McCormick came up.

 

Held For Murdering His Sisters.

ROCKFORD, 1115., Sept. 8.—Nellie Hart,

before her death made a statement fasten-
ing .the double crime on her brother, John
Hart. At his request, she said, she went
to the granary to help nail a board on.
While there he choked her until she drank
some paris green, struck her over the head
with a hammer and shot her through the
abdomen. Then he pursued theelder 'sis
ter, Mary, and shot her four times. At the
second inquest Hart was held to the grand
jury without bail. A lynching is not im-
probable. Hart denies his guilt.
