An Italian Woman Instantly Killed.

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.—Angelista Barbo, an Italian woman, aged 53 years, was almost instantly killed last night by a blow from a hatchet in the hands of Donato Manna, aged 34. A feud had long existed between Manna and the woman, and her husband, Antonio Barbo. Mrs. Barbo and Manna met last night, and she accused Manna of having slandered her.

Hot words followed, and, seizing a hatchet, the woman struck Manna on the head and waist. He started to run away, but was pursued by Barbo and caught. A fierce struggle occurred, and Manna, wresting the hatchet from the hands of the woman, struck her on the forehead, crushing in the skull. Manna's wounds are of such a character that his death is momentarily expected.
