-FOUR MEN KILLED.

Croton Aqueduct Shaft.


New York, Nov 2S.-Diyision Engineer
Gowen, of the new Croton Aqueduct, tele-
graphed to the Aqueduct Commissioners in
this city. to-day, that three men had been
killed at shaft No. 8, at midnight, and that
fourth was likely to die. The shaft is
in the town of Newcastle, Westchester
County. Edward O'Menaly and Michael
Doyle got into bucket, intending to go
to the bottom of the shaft, 1886 feet below.
At the same time James Burke, John j.
Edwards and an italian whose name is un-
known got into O. bucket at the bottom of
the shaft and began to ascend. The
bucket in which Doyle and O'Menaly were
descending was 100 feet down when DOYLE
fell out. It is not certain whether he
leaned too far over or whether he was
struck by a falling timber from the mouth
of the shaft. Doyle, in falling, struck the
ascending bucket and overturned it,
knocking out Burke, Edwards and the un-
known Italian. All but the latter were
instantly killed. The italian was fatally
injured. The distance that the men fell
was lao feet. A dispatch to the Engineers
Department of the new Aqueduct Com
mission says that the accident was caused
by q plank which fell from the mouth of
the shaft and knocked Doyle ont of the

MRS. sAFFoRD's STORY.
Abuse by Her Husband, and Not Love For
MIR. Dean that Took Her From Homo. s.

MIR. Dean that Took Her From Home.
The daily papers have given considerable
prominence to William Safford's side of
the difficulty between him and his wife
Mary. Stafford, it will be remembered,
drank mixture ofseyeral deadly poisons,
and alleged in q letter which he left
addressed to the public, that the infdelity
of his wife was the cause that led him to
commit self murder. A TATTLER called on
Mrs. Stafford, who has taken quarters in
the heart of this city, and interviewed her
in regard to the charge made by her hus-
band. She said that she did not desire
the place of her abode to be made public,
as she might not be safe from her hus-
bands attacks if he kndw her whereabouts.
According to Mrs. Stafford, she was married
to her husband in Akron, Ohio, on the 9th
of July, 1877. At that time she was but
sixteen years of age, while William
was all of twelve years her senior.
The courtship preceding the union was of
but two months duration, and at that time
she believed that her intended husband was
a sober and industrious man. About a
year after their marriage Stafford began to
abuse and maltreat her, and becoming
addicted to drinking intoxicants excessi-
vely, neglected in great measure to pro-
vide for her support. Two children were
born to them, one of whom is dead, while
the other, bright little girl, about three
years old, is with Mrs. Stafford. Since
last june" she said, "my husband has
been in state of delirious drunkenness,
and has frequently threatened to kill me.
On the first of last July, he, having re-
ceived his wages the day before, came into
the canal boat, where we were living, and
attempted to scut me with a razor. /
escaped through window, and securing the
aid of policeman, got him to leave the boat.
/ did not cause his arrest, because even
then hoped for his reformation. That
night I staid on the boat alone with my
babe. Mr.. Deans name has been unjustly
used by my husband in connection with
this matter. I only knew Mr.. Dean by
sight, and being without friends, I asked
him to assist me in getting my own and the
babes clothing from the boat. did not
know where Mr.. Dean lived, and found
him after much trouble. His conduct in
the matter has been that of an honorable
and Christian gentleman" A
Mrs. Stafford then said that when she
called on Mr.. Dean she met his wife and
daughters, and she has not seen thar gem
tleman since, nor does she think that he
knows where she is stopping. She said she
could not safely trust her childs life nor
her OWE to the fury of her husbands
