BARON WIS ONLY TWENTY-FIpE.
The Young Man Who Shot Himse for an
American Woman.

Vienna, Dec. 2.-Baron Pasetti, who
shot himself yesterday outside the resi-
and a widow, was only twenty-five
years of age. He was a law student at
the Vienna university and a nephew of
the Austrian ambassador to Rome.
There have been frequent scenes of
jealousy between the young baron and
Mrs. Kittinger. All the police know
about the identity Of Mrs Kittinger is
that her Christian name is Nina and
that her husbands first name is
Charles. AS the latter is now said to
be in America, it would seem that Mrs.
Kititnger is not a widow as at first an
nounced.

WORK OF TRAIN WRECKERS
Attended by Circumstances Similar
to Recent Cahaba, Ala,
Catastrophe.

Louisville, Ky, April 22.-At the Office
of the superintendent of transportation
of the Louisville & Nashville railroad in
this city it was learned that Engineer
Adams, Fireman Jones and Express Mes
senger Locke were badly scalded and in
jured in wreck near Evergreen, Ala.
In many respects the wreck was similar
to the recent awful affair at Cahaba,
Ala, and, though not attended with such
disastrous results, seemed to have been
planned as deliberately as that one.
According to the information which has
reached the superintendent OF transporta-
ton four negro tramps who were seen in
the neighborhood shortly before the acct
dent occurred removed the rails just
south Of the trestle. The job was neatly
done and nothing would have saved the
trainload of passengers had it not been
for the heroism of Fireman Jones and
Engineer Adams, who remained at their
posts after the engine had left the track.
