Stillwell, employed on the Chicago, Burlington and Quncy Railroad, last Monday made a confession on her death bed of three murders. She is at the house of relatives in Knox county, O. The first was Benjamin Swegart her first husband, whom she says she killed in Maryville, Mo., in March, 1877, with the aid of her mother and brother. The second was a stranger whom the same parties killed for her money while stopping at a boarding house. The third was her own daughter, aged fourteen years, whom she strangled in the presence of her mother at Rulo, Nebraska, in May 1880. She is dying of consumption.

Rosa Notte, of Cuminsville, Ohio, after being deserted by a young man whom she hoped to marry, deliberately lay down in front of a railroad train and was beheaded. Before committing suicide, Miss Eva Wehle, of Cincinnati, said she would take her pet Spitz dog with her, and so she hanged him, and then swallowed poison and died near the dog's body. Henry Sauerbrie, of Chillicothe, most shamefully abused his daughter from marrying a farm-hand, and she took laudanum. As she was supposed to be dying, her father went to the side of her bed and blew his brains out. As Mary Wharton, of Lebanon, O., stitched industriously, on a black velvet dress, she remarked, "This is the last dress I shall ever make, and I shall wear it as a shroud." Just as it was finished she died from the effects of a dose of strychnine, and the dress was used as she said it would be.

The worn and dirty clothing which had been cut from the body of the miser, was thrown carelessly into one corner of the dilapidated house and avoided by every one who through curiosity entered the home. On Wednesday a neighbor took it upon himself to search this little pile of apparent rubbish. The result of the search was astonishing. Stored away in the pockets in wallets of various descriptions, in stocking legs, and in the lining of the old coat was the sum of $15, 027.

Miss Alice, the charming daughter of John Montgomery, Esq., was courted by the beaux of all that section, but was won by a bright, industrious young man named Will Swank, who had long been devoted to her. Their engagement was known, and arrangements for the wedding were in progress when young Swank was suddenly taken ill. The symptoms of that fatal malady, quick consumption, were early developed and his fate was sealed. Miss Alice was just convalescent from an attack of measles and insisted on seeing her lover, as he continually talked of her when occasionally delirious and asked about her in rational intervals. On her way home she was caught in a drenching rain, which resulted in pneumonia being developed. The two young people now talked only of death, and repeatedly asked to be buried side by side. The first of the week he breathed his last and the next day ! Miss Alice followed him.

He has been senior partner for a number of years in the banking house of Sheffield & Horton, at Napoleon, Ohio. Sheffield left the bank at about 4 o'clock Wednesday evening, apparently in his usual spirits, and went home. No one was in the house except the servant girl. Sheffield entered his dining room, removed his coat, and took his revolver out of a bureau drawer. He then unbuttoned his vest and laid down on the lounge; placing the revolver over his heart he fired, and immediately expired. HIs wife and daughter, who had been out of town, heard the report of the pistol as they entered the yard. They supposed it came from a neighbor's premises, but upon entering the house found the dining room filled with smoke and the lifeless form of Mr. Sheffield. There is no known case for the suicide.

During a heavy rain storm Thomas Stacy and two sons took refuge under a large tree. Lightning struck the tree, killing the father and younger son instantly and stunning the other boy so that he did not recover consciousness for some time, and then he was horror-stricken to find his father and brother dead, their clothes literally torn to shreds, but their bodies apparently not hurt.
