TRAGEDY in NEW YORK.
Paul L. Ford, the Novelist, Killed By
His Brother Who Then Com
mits Suicide.

New York, May paul Leicester
Ford, the novelist, was shot and
killed Thursday by his brother, NAL
colin Webster Ford, writer and ath-
lete, who Immediately sent a bullet
into his own breast dying instantly.
The shooting occurred at 1920 a. m,
in the handsome new mansion which
Paul Leicester Ford had built at 81
East nth street, and had occupied
for about a year. At the time OF
the shooting there were in the house
besides the two brothers, Mrs. Paul
Leicester Ford, Miss Elizabeth Il.
Hall, the novelist's secretary, and
the servants.
DIR. Baruch said that the murder
was result of temporary mental
alteration on the part of Malcolm
Ford, due to nervous exhaustion. 1t
is said that there was enmity be-
tween the two brothers. and conse-
quent bitterness. and that it was of
II years standing; that never since
the death of their father have they
been on intimate or brotherly terms.
This alleged enmity on the part of
Malcolm is said to have been brought
about by the fact that the father
of the boys disinherited Malcolm,
and that this action on the fathers
part was because he did not wish
Malcolm to devote himself to an
athletic career.
Paul Leicester Ford was 81 years old,
a novelist of much note, Janice Mere
dith" being perhaps his most popular
novel. He was married about year
ago to Miss Grace Kidder, daughter Of
Edward II. Kidder, of Brooklyn. He
was the son of Gordon Lester Ford, Of
Brooklyn, who died IL years ago, and
left an estate Of some s., 100000 divid-
ed between his children, with the ex-
ception of Malcolm W., who was dis
| inherited by the will. Mr.. Ford is the

"The True George Washington" "The
MANY Sided Franklin" (Which ran
serially in the Century,. "Tattle Tales
I of Cupid" Janice Meredith" (Which
ran serially in the Bookman, 1s99), and
a collection of short stories.
Malcolm w. Ford was born in Brook
Ign. February z, 1862. He was edu-
Gated at the Brooklyn POLYTECHNIC in
stitute. He took up athletics while at
| school, and for number of years won
championships in this country and
Canada and in the hundred yard run,
two-twenty yard run and guarter-mile
run, as well as for the hundred and
two-twenty yard hurdles, running
broad and running high jumps. He
was the all-round amateur champion
for half a dozen years. He was so
passionately fond of athletics that he
is said to have neglected everything
else to devote the time to running and
jumping

St. Thomas, d. w. l., May 10.-The
eruption of Mount Pelee, n volcano
overlooking the town of st. Pierre,
Martinique, is now reported to have
killed over 10000 persons and the
succession of tidal waves which fol-
lowed and which destroyed all the
shipping in the harbor wrecked five
other vessels within a radius of 100
miles of the island.
As far as the completed knowl-
edge of the present situation goes
it appears that fully half the island
of Martinique is under lava and ashes,
that st. Vincent is in great danger
from Soufriere, that supposedly ex-
tinct craters in Dominica are becom-
ing active, and that several small is
lands have been entirely engulfed by
the tidal waves resulting from the
fearful eruption of Mont Pelee.
Governor and ConsuIs Dead.
The governor of Martinique, N. l..
Mouttel, who started for st. Pierre,
has not been heard from, and is
thought to have persisted. His wife
and his staff colonel were with him.
Senator Knight, president of the
general council, must also be dead,
as well as the United States consul,
Il. L. Prentiss, and all the other for
cign consuls.
Destruction Was Swift.
The wiping out of the city was ac-
complished in few minutes.
After a week of rumblings in the
interior Of the volcano, followed by
showers of lava dust Wednesday, the
molten lava burst out suddenly al
eight o'clock yesterday morning.
st. Pierre was destroyed and all OF
Its inhabitants killed almost in
twinkling. Those who saw the erup
ton from the sea say that masses
of fire fell from the sky. The red
hot cinders that followed the lava
kept falling till one o'clock in tho
afternoon.
Although st. Pierre is only Is miles
distant from here, it is impossible tc
approach it on shore. Hot ashes ant
ruins block all approaches. The tel
egraph line to the city is destroyed
Cables Are Broken.
Few details of any kind can be OBJ
tanned about the preliminary stages
of the eruption. The cable connec
tions with st. Pierre were broker
