SLAIN IN A DUEL,
Felice Carlo Cavalotti, Italian Deputy,
'" Perishes.

ROME, March s.-Signor Felice Garlic
Cavalotti, poet, dramatist, publicist,
and the well-known radical member OF
the chamber of deputies for Corte
.Olona, was killed in a duel with
swords with Signor Marcola, member
of the chamber of deputies and editor
of the Gazzetta di Venezia. The en-
counter was the outcome of press
polemic in the columns of the Milan
Secolo and the Gazzetta di Venezia
Shortly before the meeting Signo,
Cavalotti seemed in excellent spirits
and even joked with his seconds
When the word was given he attacked
his opponent vigorously. The first
two engagements were without result
but in the third Signor Cavalotti re-
ceived thrust in the throat that
severed his jugular vein.

One Of the great troubles that rail-
road companies have had to contend
with in the past with both the old
style and the new NJ. G. B. couplers
was the falling of drawbacks on the
tracks, resulting many times in disas-
trous wrecks. A year or two ago the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad adopted
a device to prevent just such occur
rences, and has since attached it to all
its passenger equipment. The device
is quite simple, consisting merely Of
right-angled stealA hook. which Is
placed Immediately beneath the coup
Ter on the draw-head, with a horizontal
arm projecting slightly at an angle to
the direction of the track. When the
draw-head falls the safety hooks not
only assist in jamming the drawbacks
together but absolutely prevent their
swaying from side to side, and thus
becoming disengaged. The steel hook
is placed in such position that it
cannot be damned or broken off in the
coupling of cars.
In actual practice this device has
proved exceedingly satisfactory, and
has not failed in single instance.
