was only last week that the details
reached this country. The following
particulars were published in the Pail
Mall Gazette" Of Saturday: How two
men. well-known members Of Anglo
Indian society In Calcutta, have come
by their deaths il the chief topic Of con-
versation just now in that part Of the
world. In the upper noor Of No. 3.
Commercial buildings. in that city,
lived Mr.. Collingwood. master pilot,
his wife, and her cousin. a Miss Pal
mer and Mr.. ]. G. Pugh. the second son
of Mr.. L. p. Pugh. the ofiiciating stand
ing counsel. The four seem to have
been on the best Of terms; and when
the other night Mrs. Collingwood and
Miss Palmer retired to rest. the two
gentlemen were left behind discussing
the news Of the day together. What
led up to the quarrel nobody could tell.
but about eleven o'clock at night q
bearer was alarmed by hearing the
sound Of struggling, and. going to the
room. found the two men fiercely fight
ing with dumb-bells. He ran away and
can say no more. but the theory formu-
lated by the police. that Pugh. finding
he had killed Mr.. Collingwood. blew
out his brains with q revolver. seems
the only probable solution Of the fact
that both men were found dead, Col
lingwood with his skull completely
shattered and a blood-stained dumb
bell by his side, and Pugh in his bed
room with a bullet through his head
and a revolver near his right hand.
An inquest was held, at which this
view was taken by the jury. who found
that Pugh had killed Collingwood. but
why there was no evidence to show,
and that he then took his own life.
