Alternately she raves and moans and prays in her cell. It was her- husband that murdered his sister-in-law last Fri day morning because she had, as man and wife both believe, caused the blight of the "evil eye" to fall upon their home. But for the vigilance of Policeman John Kocca the unfortunate mother might have slain her two-year-old girl, named Leonora. She had asked that the little one be brought to her cell. But the po- Jiceman had heard her utter her awful prayer and the request was denied. All day long the unfortunate woman prayed fervently in her cell at the deten tion hospital for tbe Insane. She prayed in Italian, her supplication being offered for ,the benefit of the soul of the dead woman who was sent to eternity by her husband's murderous band. Hl.Nl)*> lIEBSELF TO EVIL OMS. The wails of anguish, the fervid prayer in rapid Italian, brought Policeman Kocca, who had been dttailed to watch the woman in the cell. Listening, he heard tbe expression of Mrs. de Paoli's dread and bloody purpose. Rocca speaks Italian fluently, lie heard the prayer, the fiendieh desire of murde/ spoken and the frightened cries of his prisoner. Rocca walked to the cell and peering through the wicket asked Mrs. de Paoli Vfeat was the matter. Without answering him the poor wretch begged him to bring to her her children. "Bring little Gio vanni; oh. please bring my little Leonora, that 1 may just kiss her for a moment." she cried. It had been the custom of the authori ties to allow the woman to see her chil dren at intervals. She had often pleaded Fince her incarceration for them. Yester day they were lo have been taken to see their mother for a while, but the weath- I rr prevented. But for the hearing of the woman's fiendish desire yesterday after noon by Roera the partly demented wom an might have eluded the vigilance of the officers when the children were finally brought to see her and with one cruel j blow or a grasp at the child's neck extin guished the little life of her first born/ "SOUL WILL CRY ALWAYS." Hearing her request. Rocca. asked her why she wished to kill the child. The woman told him that the dead woman was h«*r baby Leonora's god-mother. "All day long." she said, "I hear" the voice crying* to me — crying, oh, so hard to me. The soul, it Is not in heaven. It haunts me all the time. If I kill my baby girl the soul will go to heaven, then my. husband me and my child will have no fear of the 'evil eye.*- I would murder my Laby. yes, gladly kill her. to save the soul.

Nov. 26. — Eighteen persons were killed, twenty-five were seriously injured and a score of others cut and bruised In the most disastrous railroad wreck recorded' in this State for many years. The wreck occurred at S:l5 o'clock to-night at Bakers Bridge station, a mile and ahalf .west of Lincoln, on the main line of ' the Fitehburgr division of the Boston and Maine _Railr<»ail. ...

Of the dead sixteen' were passengers in the two rear cars of the Marlborough train. The other two .were Engineer Barnard of the Montreal express and his fireman. No passengers on the express train were injured. Of those who lost their lives a number were apparently killed instantly in the collision, while oth ers were either burned to death or died from suffocation. • The^ wreck was primarily due to thick weather, . which apparently obscured sig nals set by the forward train, which at the time of the disaster was standing In front of Bakers Bridge station. .The Montreal; train, drawn by two locomo tives and consisting of nine cars, crashed into the rear of the Marlborough branch local, demolishing the two rear cars. According to the statement of persons who .were at the depot a brakeman was sent from the Marlborough branch train to place a fuse or redflre torch some'dis tance in the rear. The night was unusu ally dark, partly owing to a dense mist The torch had not been set more than a minute before the' roar of a heavy train around a curve a short distance east* of the depot was heard. Within a few sec onds the headlight of an on-rushing loco motive showed through the mist, and be fore a voice could be lifted . to warn the passengers in the waiting train the two ponderous engines, traveling at a speed of thirty-five miles an hour, crashed into It. The Impact was terrific. The lcadtng , locomotive "telescoped the rear car of the Marlborough train and the second forced this mass against the .third car of the local and completely wrecked it In these two cars all, but two of the • fatalities occurred : arid prac tically: all of the injuries. collision destroyed . the forward" locomotive of the Montreal train, but ' the~ engine following although much /damaged, did not leave the rails. None of the cars of the ex press: was thrown from the track and' the collision apparently had little ef-ct upon those; in them. FIXE ADDS TO HORKOR.

PHILADELPHIA, 'Nov. 26.— Following the suggestion of President Roosevelt for uniform eligibility rules in college athlet ics and for the elimination of unnecessary roughness, brutality,; and foul play in football,, the' University, of Pennsylvania has taken the initiative for the suggested reforms and has addressed a" circular let ter on the subject ; to ' the heads of all universities, colleges, private schools and other, institutions in the United States in terested in athletics. 'This action was taken after a number of meetings of the university committee: on athletics of the University :.' of ' Pennsylvania, -S « at : ' which President Roosevelt's^ thoughts \u25a0 on the subject were \ discussed.

Nov. 27-1:30 a. m.— At .midnight the .press was Informed by an. official of the Admiralty that the re ports received up -to that ; hour showed there had been no conflict at Sebastopol yesterday. So far as the officials knew, the crews of the Black Sea fleet were still loyal, " but beyond that no informa tion was - vouchsafed. It Is ' not . known whether the troops which were ordered to proceed from Simferopol have arrived at Sebastopol. The sailors who mutinied number about 4000 and belong to various equipages, from the : Twenty-eighth to the Thirty-sixth. Including; the sailors on board the ships there were 'about- SOW hi Sebastopol when the mutiny occurred. The troops In the Karrlson consisted of the Brest and"Ble lostok regiments, with . two battalions of 'artillery and., one battalion of fortress artillery. The Bielostok : regiment, during the outbreak several • weeks ago, fired upon the soldiers, and at the Admiralty no doubt i 3 now entertained that the mu tiny, was the result of the carefully pre pared wprk of revolutionary workers, to whom' the support given the mutineers at Kronstadt by the workmen of St. Pe tersburg offered a powerful weapon. Prof iting^ by the mistakes of the mutineers at Kronstadt. however, those at Sebasto pol particular' care to.' adopt meas ures, to prevent their meeting degenerat insr-into a drunken' riot, and, so. far as known, both tho mutineers and the work men • in the port : have • comported . them selves in a ; perfectly ; orderly . fashion. 'REBELS HAVE ABLE LEADERS. There. ls a strong impression here that intelligent leaders are at.t he head of the movement-. It^ is -evident .'also that the sailors - at ' Kronstadt have had .under ground information of ; what was occur ring at Sebastopol, because on Saturday morning. , before the news was known "in StJ Petersburg, reports: of the mutiny were freely" circulated at Kronstadt.

PETERSBURG, Nov. 26.— The suc cessful mutiny of the sailors of Sebastopol. accompanied by the first ooen revolt of an entire regiment of troops, has createJ the* greatest alarm in Government circles and 'no attempt is made to disguise the seriousness of -this latest crisis. The army is the last prop of the Gov ernment. Mutiny is- contagious and the epidemic of revolt, which haa . attacked In turn practically all the units of Uu> navy from ' Vladivostok to Kronstadt, it Is now "feared is destined similarly to spread throughout the army. Ugly reports have been repeatedly cir culated ; «.f sedition among the .sol die rfi In Manchuria and it was specifically re ported a week ago that General Line vltch had to put down a mutiny with con siderable bloodshed and that subsequently he caused forty-two men to be shot. , No confirmation of this report was ob tainable, but whether it be true or not the morale of the troops on garrison duty in* Russia has certainly everywhere been shaken by the revolutionary propaganda and the fidelity of individual units.: even of the Guard regiments. Is questioned. ' ' During the disorders followins the pro mulgation of thellmperial manifesto some of' the. provincial Oovernors refralntnl from testing loyalty of the troops, preferring ; to on the . Cossacks; who showed' no signs of wavering. I Count de Witte, called" an extraordinary session of the Cabinet this afternoon and another session was held to-night to c<j;i sider the situation. Grand Duke Nicholas Nlcholalevltch. president of tho' Council of National Defense and commander of thelmperla^Guard. was present and th:V fact caused a revival of the rumor that the Grand' Duke" might immediately fc-s appointed dictator: but it. can be taken for - granted that this step has 'not beea decided upon, as it is plain* that a dicta torship at the present Juncture would t» sure to precipitate an immediate* armeil revolution. Nevertheless Count de Witte's Government; if- it continue its present policy, in the opinion of many student!) of the situation, will be powerless tv copa with the' increasing, Droblems by whlcd it is constantly confronted. The revolu tionary tide .subsides only' to '.mount higher, and tha 'extreme elements, "con vinced .that the Government must- fall, are raising. their demands proportionately. The Slovo to-day^ pertinently pointed out the \u25a0 inconsistency : of the demand of the revolutionaries for 'the abolition of the death • penalty, saying: "They, base their demand ', on .' humanitarian grounds, yet they , closed the \u25a0 drujr . stores, which fur- : nished medicines .to the sick, and stopped the railroads, which were carrying relief to -.millions suffering ; from • famine." \u25a0The Russ halls the mutiny, at Sebasto pol'as the. beginning of the end, and calla upon i the ' Zemstvo congress to 'quit talk ing and to come to St.;Petersburgln tha name ' of ; the • country and ask Count d^ \u25a0\Vitte .what he proposes to do" to tran quillize Tthe people, and if the reply b3 unsatisfactory -• to take the only ste? which] remains, namely, \u25a0 the. formation oi a^prbvisiohal government. y.
