CAPITALIST SHOT BY WIFE.
Buffalo Has asAnothcrsensa
 Gives Herself Up. \

Buffalo Has Anothcrsens
 Gives Herself Up. !. Buffalo, N. Y, May 4.--John H. Cos .tello, capitalist, mine owner, and lum- Der merchant, was shot in the back and seriously wounded this afternoon by his wife in corridor of the Prudential building. Immediately after the shoot ing, Mrs. Costello walked down to the police headquarters and gave herself up. No charge will be lodged against the woman pending the outcome of MT. Costello's wound.
 The shooting was the outcome of years of infelicity and open warfare in the courts between Costello and his wife, who are we'll known in social cir cles. They have been separated for several years, during which time re- peated litigation has been engaged in. Mrs. Costello has made frequent at tempts to gain possession of her chill dren and it is alleged that more than once tried to kidnap them.
 | MT. Costello is one of the best known and wealthiest men in Buffalo. He has made fortune in the lumber business in Pennsylvania and has extensive cop- per mining interests in the, west. He is also interested in a large number of corporations. He is about fifty three years old and has been for some time past living with his children in the Lenox hotel, on North street,
 Mrs. Costello is forty-five years old She was allowed $1O0 alirnony when di- vorce proceedings were instituted foul or five years ago. Since that time the courts have been kept busy with theil affairs. The alimony proceedings drag ged through the courts for some time and were followed by long fight foI the custody of the three children. Cos. tello finally won the fight. But his troubles did not end there. Mrs. Cos tello was not inclined to give up the children without further struggle an6 about year ago she created a scene 1T the Niagara hotel, where MT. Costello was then living. She had been ordered by the court prior to that time to keeI away from her family. and after ths scene in the Niagara hotel MT. Costello had his wife brought before the court on contempt proceedings, charging llel with disobeying the courts order. Justice Kenefick reduced her alimon! to $50 per month as punishment for hel disobedience.

The hearing adjourned late this evening with MT. Sedgwick on the stand.
 Eleven witnesses were heard, six of whom were trolleymen. There are sev- eral more to be heard for the prosecu- tion and fifteen CT sixteen for the de- fense.

THE GRAND MUSIC FESTIVAL
OF THE CONNECTICUT MUSIC
 TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
Auspiciousiy Opened Yesterday --Busi-
 P. E. church-The Grand Promenade
 Concert Last Night-To-day,s Pros

Concert Last Sight-To-day,s Pro-
 gramDe. The first meeting of the week of the thirteenth annual festival of the Con- necticut Music Teachers associate ion was held yesterday afternoon in the office of the secretary in the lobby of the Hyperion. The report of the treasurer, A. J. Wilkins, of Bridgeport, was read, showing receipts of s4,ss5.65 and expenditures of $3,1s461, leaving a balance of $1,231.04. @2ts'5is s. # The secretary's report was next read and the nominating committee handed in it's nominations, which will be acted upon this forenoon.
 There are about 300 members of this body and the great majority of them are already in this city taking part in the exercises. ee
 The musical work of the festival was opened auspiciously yesterday after noon by the service given by the choir of St. Johns P. E. church. The vested choir of St. Johns, which ranks among the foremost in the state, was under the direction of Professor F. A. Fowler, and gave an ideal service which served as an illustration of what it is possible for finely drilled choir to accomplish in liturgical form of service.
 The rendition of Franz Liszt's diff cult setting of the Thirteenth Psalm was superb. The features of the cho- rus work were the perfect uniformity of attack, the artistic shading and fine quality of tone.
 Dr. Ton A. Jackson, tenor soloist of the Fifth Avenue Collegiate church, proved to be the most satisfactory ten or who has been in New Haven for years, and the patrons of the festival will look forward with pleasure to hear ing him in Aida" on the last night of the festival.
 pr. Jackson's magnificent rendition of the aria from Mendelssohn's "Lobge- sang" was piece of work which could only have been done by great artist with great voice.
 Charles R. Fowler, the organist of St. Johns, showed by the ease with which he handled the Liszt score, one of the most difficult ever written for the or gan, that he Is in the front rank of or ganists. His well-known ability as an accompanist was well illustrated by his work in Dr. Jackson's solo from the Lobgesang.

Morning Fire.

John Donovan's house on Grant street
was badly damaged by fire early Monday
morning. The fire originated in closet
on the third floor, from defective chm-
ney, and in short time the whole top Oh
the house was In flames.
The furniture in the lower part of the
house was saved, but that In the chsm-
bers, together with the family's clothing,
was destroyed.
The loss is estimated at 1000; insur-
ance, $3.50. One of the fire compaGies re-
sponded promptly, but owing to the delay
In turning in the alarm, the second
company was about fifteen minutes late
and did not have to use water.
1t is suggested that the man who gets
to the engine- house first in case of Q
night fire, give the bell-rope pull. II
would be, in most cases. as advantageous
to him as to the rivals and at the same
time give much better service.
This was Chief Eaton's first fire, and al
though 1t was not a large one, it showed
that the chief knows his business.
