SHOT BY HER WORTHLESS HUSBAND
He Had Forced Her to Live an Immoral
Life-story of tho Woman's Misfortunes.

New York, November 6.-Michiael
Capezzuto, an italian, who says he is
a druggist, shot and probably fatally
injured his wife, Anna, yesterday morn
ing, at the Bowery and Delaney street.
Policeman MeGlbney, of the Eidrldge
street station, had noticed the couple
quarreling as they walked along the
Bowery, and followed them. When they
reached Delaney street, the two be-
came more excited, and the woman
walked away. Before she had gone ~
feet the man drew revolver and Tired
three shots at her, all OF which took
effect. McGibney sprang at the man,
and after struggle succeeded in dis
armipgs him and Handwriting him. The
woman was taken to st. Vlncents' hos
pital, where it was found that one bull
let had entered her body at the base of
the neck, another IN the right shoulder,
waist. She was perfectly conscious and
said her husband had shot hersebecause
she refused to live an immoral life.
Capezzuto said he shot his wife be-
cause she refused to 60 home with him
to !o9th street. where he said he lived.
1t was learned that the woman mad
been living at an Italian restaurant IN
Grant street, and there something of
her history was learned.
Two years she lived in Naples. and she
and Leonetti Stanislaus, a shoemaker,
were sweethearts. He left there for Anne
RIGA to seek his fortune and promised
to send for her.
Anna got weary of waiting and mar
ried Capezzuto, and the pair came to
this country. Capezzuto soon spent his
money and forced his wife to evil ways
to support him. Last week Stanislaus
met her in a disorderly house in Boston
and took her away. The pair went to
the restaurant in Grand street. The
husband traced her TO New York, and
yesterday morning. during Stanislaus's
absence, hess went to the place and
forced her to 60 with him. The quarrel
and shooting followed. Coronr Fitz-
patrick took the womans' ante-mortem
statement.

ALMOST DONE.
The Water Pipe Under the Kennebec
VIII be Compl eted Today.

Boston, November 5.-The contractors ex-
pect to make the water pipe connection
Wednesday and it looks as if ali precautions
against another accident had been taken.
This time the pipe was brought in almost
on a line with the end of the wharf and
then swung down toward the southern end
of the city steps,. SO as to follow the direc-
tion of the channel which has been blown
in that ledge andEupon the edge of which
the big run caught when it oapsized the
pipe week ago.
Then, instead of hauling the pipe under
the steps, through a hole, as was tried be-
fore, channel will be cut through the
steps SO that the pipe can be lowered into
position there in the same manner as it has
been lowered into the river
The amount of blasting which that
troublesome ledge has required is shown oy
the fact that nearly seven hundred pounds
of dynamite has been exploded there, two
of the charges being of fifty pounds-one
hundred ordinary cartridges!
While this work has been rather pro-
longed and dific ult. 1t may be stated that
there is not another place in New Eng land
where such a hard piece Of pipe laying has
been done. but it is believed that success
full termination is in sight.

ship in our Town Schools.

ship in our Town Schools.
To the Editor of the Press:
great need of many of our schools is a
special writing teacher. Many of the towns
have thus provided for their pupils, while
others are lacking in this respect, towns
noted too for their educational advantages.
1t is true that writing ~ is taught in all. or
nearly all, schools, but the majority of our
teachers are but ordinary writers, and the
scholars take no interest in this work,
whereas If there were special teacher for
this branch, he would arouse an interest
in penmanship among the pupils. incite
them to practice and do more good in half
hours lesson than the usual teacher could
do in an hour.
Possibly the expenses of some towns are al
ready SO heavy as to exclude the idea of
hiring an extra teacher for any particular
branch of work Well then it wouldn't
be bad idea for out wealthy townsmen
who are always SO interested in the cause of
education but who it is noticed are not eager
to yield up any spare cash for the purpose
of helping along their loved cause, to club
together and provide furd wherewirh to
hire a teacher of penmanship for the
schools of the town. "a
As it now is, we are in constant receipt of
letters. the contents of which, so closely
resemble the hieroglyphics of olden times,
as to puzzle the modern reader as to their
meaning, and to destroy much valuable
time. Therefore he who uses his money
fer the purpose of correcting this evil is
manifestly benefiting his fcllowmen. H.

Board of Railroad Commissioners.

The State Board of Railroad Commits
stones held session at the State House,
Augusta, Monday. They approved of the
variation of the location of part of the

arcannonadiug as undoubtedly has not been
witnessed since the stirring times of our
civil war, and the noble buck fell dead with
a bullet through his neck from the win
chester of Frank and another through the
back from the Merlin of the tenderfoot.
After carefully dressing him and singing
him up on sprung pole they started back
to camp resolved on having good square
meal of wild venison. Timothy informed
them that the best part of it was the pow
wow" that would be in store for them. The
tenderfoot did not readily grasp the mean
ing of the term but on asking was informed
that it was 1.-THE ceremony before eating
fried onions and deer's liyer". After dinner
they proceeded to Billings Brook swamp
and there Phil (who we would venture to
say is one of Portland's popular commercial
mem got his first taste of driving swamps:
he ranged through the thicket and made
enough noise to start from its deep hidden
lair the most ferocious specie of the porch
hog and at intervals upon the breeze
came his clear and melodious voice
but his labors were in vain for
neither winged fowl OF four legged
beast emerged from the growth to serve as
target for the trusty rifle of Frank.
Tired out by the long tramp of the day they
started for camp and were soon asleep.
The next morning they were up early this
being the day that Willard Whipsnapper was
to return.
The camp utensils were carefully packed
and they amused themselves with target
shooting etc. At noon time the rattle of
blackboard was heard in the distance and
soon the countenance of the WhipsLapper
was seen drawing the ribbons over u most
demure looking steed called 1.-The Ostridge."
but appearances was deceptive for no sooner
was the carcass of the deer on tie wagon
than he began such a rearing and plunging
that the Whipsnapper was obliged to sur
render the ribbons to Frank. but the change
in the administration did not remedy the
evil and it is wonder that there was one
left to tell the tale, but the only real dam
age done was broken shaft and crossbar.
Timothy, however, was equal to all emer-
sencies and with an alder pole cut from
soon repaired the broken parts so that
about sunset they arrived at the village,
attracting about the same at tention as does
the country circus, and the yelling of the
urchins mingled with the barking of the
dogs told of the delight with which they
were welcomed.
That evening seated before the fireplace
in the Office of the Crandon House they
planned to renew their acquaintance with
the Middle ground in 1895 much to the de-
light of Timothy

Railroad Mileage in England and America

railroad mileage In England and America
At the end of 1882 there were 2O.325 miles
of railroad open for traffic in the United
Kingdom. In England and Wales alone,
where the railroads are the thickest, there
were l4.242 miles. In the United States
there are about i72, 0O0 miles of completed
railroad at the end of the same year, and
statistics of working were reported for a
little less than III 900. Actually, then, we
have nearly nine times as many miles of
railroad as the United Kingdom But we
are nearly twenty-five times as big Qeaving
out Alaska), and proportionately to area
the United Kingdom has three times a
much railroad as we have. Proportionately
to population. however, our supply is great
er: each inhabitant here has FIVE times as
much railroad an Englishman has. We're

An American Cooperative Experiment in

Mexico.
On the east side of the Gulf of California,
on the coast-line of the state of Sinaloa, in
the republic of Mexico,is little indentation
in the shore called Topolobampo Bay.
About twenty years ago A. K. Owen, CO.
operative enthusiast, viewed this bay from
the top of neighboring mountain, and re-
solved that on its shores should De built
cooperative municipality. 1t was many
wears before start was made on the work,
but in the year 1885 concessions of land and
other privileges were secured from the Mex
lean government. and work was actually
commend ed on the site of the village or set
Element now known as Pacific City,
The purposes of the colony are strictly
cooperative. 1t is intended to do away
with dependence upon the outside world
AS fast as possible, and to become a sepa-
rate community in every sense of the word,
The motto of the colony is thats"all wealth
created shall go to enrich the community
instead of the individual" The colony in
principle is cooperative as to its members
and competitive to the outside world.
The members are to purchase supplies at
cost, the profit obtained from outsiders 60
ing to build up the colony. They have a
money of their own, known as stcredit. -
which passes current in the community for
labor and such materials as are produced
in the settlement.
The city as surveyed covers twenty-nine
square miles. The irrigation ditch is TWEEN
ty-seven miles long and will irrigate 100, 600
acres. At present the colony has under
irrigation $50 acres. The crop last year was
valued at 11.G00. They now have $4,000
worth of farm animals and implements, and
an orchard of about 1000 fruit trees. hree
hundred banana plants will bear this year.
The present status of this colony is the
nearest to the ideal cooperative community
that has ever been reached in the numer-
GUS experiments tried. There have been
and are discussions in the ranks; one fac
ton Is struggling against the other for con-
troll. Whether these jealousies will result
in breaking up this colony is Yet d matter
for conjecture. Human nature is the same
at Topolobampo as elsewhere. and personal
ambition seems to be at the bottom of what
trouble exists. The enthusiastic colonists
are inclined TO make light of the dissensions
and c lain they are but incidents of a great
and successful movement towards a higbe,
form of civil life.
