LOCKPORT MAN IS CUT IN PIECES BY A TRAIN

 
Edward Dumphrey Victim of Horrible Death
 
     Lockport, May 29, Edward DUMPHREY, a well-known man about the city, brother of Michael DUMPHREY, proprietor of the Lock View Hotel, on Richmond avenue, opposite the locks, met a horrible death some time during the night near the ECKENSPERGER farm, one mile west of the city.
     Trainsmen passing along the Central this morning saw the remains of a man strewn alongside the tracks. They were on the train that reached here about 6:30 o'clock, and the case was reported. Coroner KITTINGER was called, and hurried to the spot where a part of the body was seen.
     The body was literally cut in pieces. The legs and right arm were severed, while the trunk was horribly cut and bruised. The remains were identified as those of Edward DUMPHREY, aged about thirty-five years.
     DUMPHREY left the city about 1 o'clock this morning in a rig belonging to his brother. A stranger had come to the latter's hotel and asked that he be taken home. Mr. DUMPHREY ordered a horse hitched and sent his brother with the stranger, who desired to get a farm west of the city.
     About 5:08 o'clock this morning the horse returned to the DUMPHREY barns, the wagon unharmed, but without Mr. DUMPHREY or the stranger. It is presumed they got out some place and that the horse started away. DUMPHREY, presumably, took the tracks to walk home and was hit by a train.

GENEVA WOMAN TAKES OUNCE OF LAUDANUM
 
Mrs. Oran Parish Says She Has Family Troubles
 
     Geneva, May 29 - Mrs. Oran PARISH attempted suicide to-night about 9 o'clock by taking laudanum. Mrs. PARISH resides in the Richard's block, in South Exchange street, and this evening went to a clothespress and drank the contents of an ounce bottle of the poison.
     On the same floor there resides a colored family named DERBY, and as Mrs. PARISH came from the closet she informed Mrs. DERBY that she had taken the poison. She immediately sank into unconsciousness.
     Dr. H. D. WEYBURN was summoned. An emetic was administered, and part of the poison was removed from the woman's system. The physician had the woman's husband and Mrs. DERBY walk the woman, to keep her awake, but they became exhausted, and Dr. WEYBURN decided to remove her to the hospital.
     The ambulance was summoned, and Mrs. PARISH was removed to the institution, where the house physician, Dr. F. L. STEBBINS, took charge of the case. After reaching the hospital Mrs. PARISH again fell into a state of unconsciousness. At a late hour to-night she is considered to be in a very critical condition.
     When conscious Mrs. PARISH told Dr. WEYBURN she took the poison because of family troubles.

TWIN INFANTS FOUND DEAD IN A CEMETERY.
 
Women Make Shocking Discovery in Holy Sepulchre
 
    A basket containing the remains of two infants was found in a secluded part of Holy Sepulchre Cemetery yesterday afternoon. The basket and contents were sent to the morgue, and Coroner KLEINDIENST is making an investigation. From the condition of the bodies it is not thought that murder was committed. They had been wrapped in a part of a bed blanket.
     The basket was found at the corner of Sections G and H, of the cemetery. A Mrs. ELY, said to live in Main street east, and Mrs. HINES, of Charlotte, were passing through the cemetery. They discovered the basket which had been partially covered with leaves. The women removed the leaves and opened the basket. They were shocked to find the dead bodies of a boy and girl. The babies were undoubtedly twins, and had lived about a day.
     Superintendent MEISCH said yesterday afternoon that the basket must have been left in the cemetery either Thursday night or between 9 o'clock and noon of yesterday. He said he had not observed anyone about the cemetery during the morning.
     Coroner KLEINDIENST said he did not think it was a case of murder, although it was probable that neither of the babies lived long after birth. An autopsy will he performed on the remains to ascertain whether or not they were smothered. The clothing placed in the basket with the bodies consisted of a flannel blanket, two shirts, two night gowns, and two lighter blankets. The basket was a new one, and it is possible that the purchaser may be located.

COLLIE PUP BITES TWO CHILDREN
 
Dog Leaped Upon Children While They Were at Play in Yard
 
Two children playing with a number of others in the yard at No. 263 Kenwood avenue on Friday evening were bitten by a Scotch collie pup. The children were attended by a physician, who said the lacerations were slight. The children are Millard MONAHAN, of No. 263 Kenwood avenue, and Evelyn LEWIS, of Frost and Kenwood avenue.
     About a dozen children were playing in the MONAHAN premises. The dog, which is owned by John W. BALL, who lives in Kenwood avenue, ran into the yard and nipped two of them.
     It is not thought that the dog is afflicted with rabies. The Health Bureau, however, will observe the animal for symptoms. BALL has been instructed to keep his dog chained up. It is a valuable animal and will not be destroyed unless it is affected.
