The person who committed this most inhuman act is a woman, apparently about 35 years of age, and from appear- ances she does not look like one who would be guilty o such a fearful deed. The woman's nam is Mary Jane Pevey, wife of Christoph r Pevey, employed as section boss on he . Canada Southern railway at Canfiel station. It appears that Pevey went way and said that he was never coming ack.' Mrs. Pevey had got it;in her head that he had gone off with aaother wom n, and imagined that - the people of the p ace were down on her. On Sunday morning last she set fire to her house, and took h r two children to the cistern, struck th on the head with a stone, threw them into the cistern, which was nearly full of ater, and then jump- ed in herself, int ding to commit sui- cide. The fire, h Wever, attracted some people, and the w man was found cling- ing to the top of the cistern with her hands, and her fe t caught on the oppo- site side. The chi dren were both dead. Their heads were badly bruised,but they had evidently bees thrown in the water while yet alive. ' coroner's inquest was held on the remins of the children, and the -jury eturned a verdict that they had .ome to their death at the hands of th ir mother while labor- ing under a fit o - temporary insanity. The prisoner was lodged in the Simcoe jail - on Monday last, and the news of the - dreadful affair ' spread like wild -fire, and was general topic of con- versation.
