 Tragedy on the EIevated-A Young
 Woman Fatally Shoots Lover a nd
 Kills HerAeIf.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The young woman who shot Victor Crotton Andre on the plat form of the elevated road at Fifty-ninth street and Third avenue, afterwa fatally shooting herself, has been identified as Miss Jennie H. Almy, school teacher of III East Twenty fifth street. She was twenty four years of age, finely educated and of prepossessing appearance. She had relatives residing in Brooklyn and a brother-in-law employed on the New Haven railroad. It appears that Andre and Miss Amy first became acquainted last fall. The acquaintance soon ripened into love and marriage contract was entered into, but for some reason Andre a short time after broke off the engage ment and despite the appeals of Miss Almy refused to renew the acquaintance and final ly declined to see her at all. This it ia sup posed, preyed upon the girls mind and led her to commit the crime. Andre, who after the shooting was removed to the Presbyter- jan hospital, was reported late this evening in a very critical condition. Coroner Ken nedy has been called to take his ante mortem statement. The man in his deposition &C., knowledges his acquaintance with Miss Amy and said the reason he broke of the engage ment was because be had been told on good authority that she had been divorced. The physicians in attendance upon Andre enter tain little hope of his recovery.
