AUGUSTA, GA„ Dec. 22.—Two
'.ism nger engines id four freight
ars are in the Savannah River an
hree men are badly bruised
dent on the Southern Railway trestle
here at 5 o’clock Monday morning
when two engines ran into twenty
freight cars.
There was no light on the freight
cars, according to C. C Forbes, hos
tler for the Southern Railway, who
was bringing two passenger engines
from the Hamburg yards to the
Union Depot to be started out on
morning trains to Columbia . and
Charleston.
The two heavy engines struck the
freight cars on the first span to the
north of the new lift draw, which the
Southern installed several months
ago. and the entire draw was shaken
loose and both of the engines and
four of the freight cars which were
on that draw went down with a crash
to the bottom of the river.
Forbes and Jimmie Bryant, a call-
boy, were on one of the engines and
Bert Corbett, a negro helper, was on
the other When the engines struck
the freight cars, the entire trestle
seemed to reel and then there was a
slight apparent hesitation. then
freight cars and engines went down
n a heap to the water
Forbes and Bryant had the pres
ence of mind to hold their breaths
while under the water and managed
to climb out on top of the cab and
onto some wreckage. Corbett’s en
gine was not completely submerged
because it fell on a Jetty. All three
were badly bruised. Their escape
from death was miraculous.
All Southern trains will have to
run to Hamburg instead of coming
into the I’nion Station until the tres
tle is repaired.

MONTICELLO, N. Y Dec. 22.—
Relations of fact more strange than
figment of fiction have followed the
sudden death of Melville H. Couch,
for 15 years District Attorney of Sul
livan County and former partner of
Alton B. Parker.
In the custody of the police is a
strange, frightened woman who lived
for 15 years in the seclusion of a bare
little room that opened from Mr.
Couch’s office. The door that *ed
from the office to the living quarters
of this strange bond servant was al
ways locked and no one save Cou?n
and his queer companion passed
through it.
Within a few feet from the busy
office with its daily stream of clients
the woman huddled in silence through
out the day. Occasionally at night
she stole forth and roamed through,
the streets.
Although Mrs. Couch was a fre
quent visitor at the office of her hus
band. she never suspected what the
secret room contained.
Discovery of Recluse.
During the excitement attending the
discovery of Couch’s body on a lounge
In the room, -'"tip one climbed upon
a chair and peered ^hroug!. the tran
som into the secret room. There he
saw a woman huddled upon the floor
beside a plain iron bed. Her clothing
was poor and ill-fitting, her face was
that of a drug user or one who lives in
solitude, and her disheveled hair was
streaked with gray.
Sheriff Kinney had the door open
ed and the woman walked into the
office whore Couch’sbody was lying.
‘‘I am Josephine Brance,” she stam
mered. and then broke into hysterical
weeping.
Although the autnorities are certain
that Couch died a natural death, they
detained the woman to learn the sa-
cret of her strange relationship with
the lawyer.
Wife Fall?- in Faint.
Mrs. Couch, who was present when
the secret door was opened, fainted
at the sight of the woman who emerg
ed. Sheriff Kinney and other officials
were startled at the uncanny devel
opments.
After Mrs. Rranee had been quiet°d
and assured that no ham would
come to her, she said:
“I came out of the loom at 8
o’clock this morning .o wake Mr.
Couch, who often slept in his office.
As soon a8 1 saw riis face I knew
he was dead. I knew that Dr. J. A.
Curlette was his brother-in-law and 1
telephoned to him to come at once.”
Mrs. Brance said she came from
Goshen, N. Y., and met Couch 15
years ago.
The affair has caused a tremendous
sensation.
