DASHED TO DEATH.

The Terrible Fate OftIIe Wife of Prof. LeOn-
ard Waldo, of the Yale ObservatOry--She
Escapes from Her Nurses While Tempo
rariIy Insane, and is Dashed to Death on
the Rocks.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 20.-The
wife of Prof. Leonard Waldo, of the Yale
Observatory, while laboring under fit
of temporary insanity yesterday morning,
escaped from her 4urses and left her
home or Prospect street, For long
time Mrs Waldo had suffered intensely
from, various troubles, and Thursday
night she passed without sleep until four
O'Clock in the morning. She was first
missed about seven O'Clock. A hasty
search revealed the fact that the lady had
scantily attired herself in a wrapper, and
with nothing but pair of slippers on her
feet had left the house.
Prof Waldo was informed and with
his servants searched the observatory
grounds. BY three O'Clock yesterday
afternoon nearly six hundred students
and at -least two hundred citizens were
searching for the lady IN all directions.
About four O'clock one of the searching
parties got clue to Mrs. Waldo's where
abouts and finally found her at Pine
Rock, few miles from the Waldo resi-
dence.- AS the party approached Mrs.
Waldo was trying to ascend the face of
the rock, which is nearly perpendicular
They called to her to hold until they
could come to her assistance. At that
moment she was seen to slip from the
rock and fail headlong down the precipice,
striking among the rocks at the feet Of
her friends. She lived but a few min
utes after being picked mp. Mrs. Waldo
was thirty-fve years of age, and leaves
two young children. 1t is thought that
her insanity dates, from the birth of her
last child, three months ago. She was a
native of Philadelphia, and a niece Of
Judge Fullerton, of New York. This
accident recalls the attempted suicide of
Mrs. WaldO's sister at Double Beach in

bed few weeks ago that he was the
father of her newborn babe, for the mur~
