A TERRIBLE AVALANCHE.
Many Houses Buried by a Landslide in
Ca Tsoe~Betweon Twenty~flye and
Thirty Killed, Many Injured.
QUEBEC, Sept. 20,—A large portion of
Cape Dinmont below the citadel became
detached, and sliding down, buried a
number of houses beneath a mass of
rock and dirt. A number of dead bodies
have been taken from the ruins, but the
total loss of life is not known, A num-
ber of persons, more or less injured,
were quickly rescued.
It will be hours before any som pre.
hensive idea of the number of the dead
can be arrived at, as some of the houses
are under twenty-five feet of debris.
Scene of the Disaster.
At the foot of the cliff is a narrow
street which occupies all of the space
between the cape and the river, Fi vo
the river side of this street were situated
the houses which were crushed by the
terrible avalanche of rock.
The street is entirely filled with the
wreckage and a large force of men are
at work clearing it away.
Several families are known to have
been entombed and it is feared that all
are dead,
Late estimates place the number
killed outright between twenty-five and
tnirty.
Frevious Landslides
In May, 1841, a similar landslide oc-
curred, which destroved several build
ings and killed thirty two people. From
present indications it is feared the loss
of life by this landslide will be equally
as great.
In 1852 another landslide caused
death of several persons half a
from the scene of the present disaster.
Six bodies have been taken from the
ruins—Thomas Farrell and two of his
children, also two children named
Burke and one unknown child. Far-
rell’'s mother-in-law, Mrs. Allen, and
her husband are still in the ruins.
About twenty-five persons have been
removed from the debris very badiy in-
ured. Some have broken and
fo and others are badly crushed and
mutilated.
it is now estimated that at least fifty
Joratus ars yet under the ruins. The

Yooked after them. The debris covers
the road In a solid mass for over 300
feet in length and from fifteen to
twenty-five in height.
Cries of “Help! Help!”
It is impossible to say at present how
many are dead and wounded. Every
one is working heroically and under dif-
ficulties, as the night was intensely
dark and the electric lights were ren-
dered useless iy the landslide,

VICTIMS OF THE AVALANCHE.
Twenty-one Bodies Buried In Quebec,
Still Working in the Ruins
QUEREC, Sept. 23.—~The funeral of the
victims of the recent terrible landslide
took piace yesterday. Ship laborers,
about 700 strong, headed by President
Mahoney, led the procession. Then fol-

flowers presented by the city council.
Then came fifteen hearses containing
the bodies of twenty-one of the victims,
The funeral service took place at St.
Patrick's church. Father Havden, as-
sisted by Father Welsh, celebrated di-
Yine service.
After services the procession de-
scended to Woodland cemetery, where
the twenty-one bodies were deposited in
vaults.
Some 200 men are actually working at
the debris and some more corpses are
expected to be found shortly. lhe anx-

Declines to Identify ¥er Baby.
May's LANDING, N. J,, Sept. 20,—The
second day of the Hamilton trial opened
fair and bright. Long before the hour
of 10 the court house was filled with
spectators, and in waiting for the court
to open the proceedings of the previous
day and the chances of the wayward
prisoner were eagerly discussed,
The most damaging testimony against
the defendant was that which was
elicited from Mrs, Hamilton under the
cross examination to which she was sub-
Footed, She was asked where her father
ived and where she was born; where
she first met her husband, and how she
had supported herself, and she answered
all these interrogatories with much hesi-
tation and confusion. During this tip
Capt. Perry was almost continually
his feet raising objections to those qu
tions, but they were all promptly over
ruled by Judge Reed.
Whose Baby Is It?
When Prosecutor Thompson, in cold
measured terms, said: “Where was your
baby born?” the woman started, blushed,
turned pale and shuddered, but did not
answer, while her legal defender jumped
to his feet and raised his objections in
the most eloquent language. It was in-
deed the most dramatic
the trial, but the objection § Over
ruled and Judge Reed quietly
“The only grounds upon which the de

on the jury. The sensational newspa
per reports of the troubles of the Hamil-
tons were foreign to the case, The jury-
men were simply to consider the Atlan-
tic episode pm determine whether Mrs.
Hamilton acted willfully, with mali-
cious or deadly intent, or struck the
blow because she thought her life was
in peril through her fear of Mary Don-
nelly.

Judge Reed's Charge.
“Call the jury,” was the peremptory
request of Judge Reed when he resumed
his seat at the opening of the afternoon
session, and a few minutes later he
gan his charge “The whole matter
hinges on the plea of the defense.” he
said, “that the blow was struck in self
defense, but when a deadly weapon is
used in self defense it materially alters
the case.” He continued in this vein,
dwelling on the fact that the knife
thrust was a deadly one, and the only
way in which the ple a of the defense
could possibly be tenable was that the
blow was struck to save the defendant's
life: that she was in imminent dange
and had to deal the deadly blow to save
her own life.
The Jury Retires,
The charge was clearly against ths
prisoner. He sot aside all the facts
which it was said led up to the cutting
He instructed the jury to give her the
benefit of any doubts as to the characte:
of the crime. They might bring a ver
dict of assault and battery, if they
thought her knife thrust was not ma
licious, but if they viewed the matter
from the standpoint that she reached
around to stab the nurse, then there was
no reason why they should not return a
verdict in accordance with the indict
ment,
Then the jury filed out of the court
room in charge of Constable Sima,
The Prisoner Sentenced,
The jury returned to the court room
at 3:15. At this time there was an-
other trial in progress, which Judge
Reed did not intercept, but kept the jury
sitting there and the audience in sus
pense for some time.
Mrs. Hamilton entered the court room
at 8:25,
The jury returned a verdict of “Guilty
as indicted” (for atrocious assault),
The judge then commanded the pris-
oner to stand up.
In pronouncing sentence the judge
paid to the prisoner: “You have been
convicted of an atrocious assault, but
we have taken into consideration the
conduct of the nurse and we give you a
lenient sentence of two years in the
state prison,”
Mrs. Hamilton did not attempt to ery,
but she was extremely nervous,

A DOUBLE MURDER, EB
A Jealous Husband Kills His wite
Aix

BELLEFONTE, Pa., Sept. 28,
wis sent to District Attorney
kins, of Phillipsburg, shot his wife and
mother-in-law and then tried to kill
himself, but was unsuccessful, Fro
facts elicited it appears that the familly
did not lve agvecably and some time
ago had parted, but lately have been
living together again, Yesterday morn-
ing Hopkins, when intoxicated, pre-
voked a quarrel with his wife and be-
coming violently enraged procured a re-
volver and shot her dead. He then went
up stairs and shot his wife's mother
dead, after which he proceeded toan ad-
joining livery stable, where he shot him-
self twice in the head, but neither shot
will prove even serious,
Jealousy and a belief in the faithless-
ness of his wife are believed to have
been the reasons that incited Hopkins to
crime, When arrested a letter was
found upon his person written evidently
with the thought his attempt at suicide
would be successful, In it he charges
two citizens of Phillipsburg with being
criminally intimate with his wife, and
gays that he had been hounded to get out
of town in order not to interfere with
his wife's affections,
He was placed under arrest imme-
diately and confessed the terrible crime,
He will be brought to Bellefonte today
and placed in jail to await trial at the
November court. A medical examina-
tion of the man has been made and he is
pronounced entirely sane, This will be
the second marder trial Bellefonte
