Outrageous Crime on Rail Line Ends in Capture at Buffalo
William McDermott and two confederates halted a Western New York and Pennsylvanian train near Corry on August 17.

A newborn Romulus arrives on a train in Knoxville, Tennessee, delivered by a conductor and named for the car sleeper. Mother and baby recover in Farm Village, both in good condition.
