DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK,
A Deserted Husband Shoots His Wife
and Her Paramour

NEW YORK, May 25.-A double
tragedy was enacted this morning in a
tenement house at 10 Cherry street,
Antonio Benanco, a tailor, aged 26,
shooting and instantly killing his young
and pretty wife and fatally wounding
Gabrielle Bertonilo, his wife's para
mour. Three years ago Benanco welded
his wife in Italy. He was the choice of
her parents, although the girl favored
the attentions of Bertonilo. The couple
came to this country and were followed
by the latter. A few months ago the
woman deserted her husband and went
to live with Bertonilo. This morning
the injured husband went to their
apartments and fired three bullets into
his wife's body, killing her instantly.
He then shot her lover four times, in
flicting fatal wounds. Benanco was ar
rested and is held without bail at the
tombs.

lished the following as having been related by
Mr.. Booth:
"In the summer of 1877 Mr.. Booth was stand
on railroad platform waiting for train. He
noticed gentleman standing near him, appar-
emily with the same object, and saw that he
seemed engrossed in his own meditations.
Presently the gentleman stepped from the
platform to a track and began walking upon it.
entirely oblivious Of his surroundings. Just at
this moment an engine which had been getting
water from tank near at hand began backing
up tine track. Mr.. Booth, turning around. saw
it only when it within few feet of his
absent-minded companion. On the i'm
pulse Of the moment. without attempting
to rouse the man to a sense Of his danger
there was not time for this-Mr. Booth
stepped forward and, clutching him by the
arm. lifted him almost bodily upon the plat
form. So near was the engine that il struck
the mans heels they left the track Tho
rescued gentleman was SO overcome when no
realized his danger that he could only bow his
thanks and give his hand to his preserver II
happened that Mr.. Ford. in whose theater at
Washington President Lincoln was assassinated
by Mr.. Booths brother witnessed the scene de-
scribed above. Stepping forward he said ex-
citedly: Mr.. Booth. do you know who tina.
man WASP No. was the reply. 1T was, said
Mr.. Ford. Robert Lincoln, President Lincon's
son. Mr.. Booth afterward said that this act of
his gave him more satisfaction than could be
represented in any other way. In relating this
Mr.. Booth mentioned the fact that the only vote
which he ever cast was for Mr.. Lincoln when he
ran for President the second time"
Mr. john I. Ford says the above story is es-
sentially correct. except that tho occurrence
was between March and 8, 1876. and was pub
lished about ten years ago 1t happened at
Bowling Green. KY. or at a station between
that place and Nashville, Tenn. Mr.. Ford had
been travelling through tho south with COM
pany, at the head Of which was Mr.. Booth, and
it was at the close of Mr.. Booths engagement
Mr.. Booth separated from the others near the
Mammoth Cave and Mr.. Ford returned with the
company to Baltimore, stopping on the way at
Cumberland, where the Academy Of Music was
opened, Mr.. Frederick Warde playing the lead
ing roles.

Contrary to custom the visitors started off in
the lead and gained three runs before the home
team scored. Then pretty stern chase ensued.
Step by step the local colts overhauled the
selling platers from the buckeye state, and in
the stretch drew away and won by a nose.
The Clevelands secured one of their three
runs by triple. followed by a single. But the
other two they had no business with. Both
reached first on balls, were helped along by a
sacrifice and scored by Ewing's single past
Sullivan.
The locals punched two hits in the sixth,
which, with base on balls and Hov's long fl

get ON errors. The others were made by the
visitors fumbles and wild throws. Score:
