She walked to the boarding house, which was in plain sight of Paups home, and as she stopped to recover the hat Pelligreno fired point blang at her with a shotgun. The shot endered the woman's head and she fell dead. Paul. who had witnessed the scene, took a revolver and shotgun and started to avenge his wife.
 As the Italian was trying to escape, Paul fred several shots from his re- volver but missed. Pelligreno succeed ed in barricading himself in his room, and Paul stood guard in the hallway. The people about the house were ter rorized and would not interfere.
 After half an hour Pelligreno, hear ing no stir, stuck his head through the door, Paul quick as flash fred kill ing the murder of his wife in his tracks After examining the body to see that no life remained, Paul picked up his wife's dead body and tenderly carried it to his home Surrounded by his three small children, the officers when they came to arrest him, found him bending weeping over the remains.

New York May 22.-Three passenger coaches filled with passengers had each a side ripped off by locomotive on the New York. New Haven & Hartford R. R., at Mott Haven to-day. yet no one in either coach was injured.
 James Burns. the engineer on the locomotive, jumped and he was so bad ly hurt that he may not recover. The fireman, who also jumped, received only a few slight bruises.
 The engine and damaged coaches were part of local train that was be- ing switched from the main track to the depot siding, while moving at a speed of fifteen miles an hour. The engine. which was pushing the train, did not take the switch. The breaking of the coupling caused the train to slacken speed and the engine dashed ahead on the main track, tearing out the sides of the last three coaches. These coaches and the engine were de- railed and blocked traffic on the road until nearly midnight.
 A panic among the passengers fol- lowed the accident, and physicians who were summoned revived several faint ing women, but the engineer was the only person who required surgicad aid.

HARRY D. BABCOCK DEAD.
FATAL RESULT OF INJURY IN
 POLO GAME IN NEW FORK.

Died Yesterday Morning at the Home of His Father in That City-was Struck on the Head by q MnlIet in the Game--A Very Popular Young Yale Man-GeneraI Sorrow at YaIe-Presi-
 dent Hadley Refers to Sad Loss at Chapel Services.
 l As the result of playing in the first Intercollegiate pony polo game ever
 played in this country Henry Denison
 Babcock. jr.. a freshman in the aca- demic department of Yale, died early yesterday morning. He was accidental fly struck on the head with a polo mal- llet by fellow player, w. c. Devereaux, in the game between Yale and Prince
 ion at Van Cortlandt park, New York
 city, last Saturday, when Yale was de- feated by a score of [ to 2.
 The accident occurred late in the af- ternoon. During the last half of the game Babcock played No. in the
 Yale line Up and DeverAaux No. 5 on the Princeton side. According to his own version of the affair. Babcock in- tentionaily slipped from his pony to the ground after being struck, but later, partially recovering from the dizziness that followed the blow, he insisted upon returning to the game Captain Bald
 win of Yale overruled him, however, and put another player in his place. A doctor attended him on the field It was not until several hours after the acci- dent that the serious nature of the in- jury became apparent, and the young lman's condition then grew so rapidly worse that an operation was deemed linadvisable. He died of cerebral lhemorrhages at the home of his father,
 H. D. Babcock. wealthy banker and
 broker, residing on Fifty-second street, New York city.
 He roomed at Mrs. Garland's, 23S York street. this city. His class will
 pass resolutions on his death, and this will be the third time the freshmen have performed this sad duty in their few months sojourn at Yale. An lnounce1nent of the sad news of his
 death was most feelingly made by President Hadley at the chapel ser vices yesterday.
 l This is the third member of the class o- 1907 to meet a violent death. The other unfortunates were George Bene-
 dict Sherman of Cleveland, O., who died
 by Q fall from West Rock, and Walter
 Joseph Austrien of Chicago, who met death owing to his efforts in saving the lives of women and children in the lire. at the Iroquois theater, Chicago. The latest victim, MT. Babcock, was a very popular man in his class. He was not active in any form of athletics lother than pony polo. He had played the game with club teams in New
 York previous to coming to Yale, and
 was one Of those active in organizing the Yale pony polo club. In the game
 with Princeton last Saturday he scored one os the only two goals Yale made.
 He was an expert horseman and play
 ed fine game.
 When the news of his death reached his classmates there was much surprise for his success in making a goal had
 been the talk of the day, and nobody had expected anything from the knock he received in the game. His death is greatly iamented.
