FIGHT WITH ITALIANS.

* _ A New York elevated train southbound drew up to the Ninety-second street station late on the night of March Ist, with the whistle blowing for help and a lively fight in progress in the third car. The fight had started at the Ninety-ninth street station between some young men and a group of Italians who had refused to get up when the young men demanded that they surrender their seats to women who were standing. In the fracas, one of the Italians drew a revolver and shot William Kenny, of 244 East street in the left arm. All but the combatants filed out of the car as soon as the fight started and howled for help from the plat- J form. I Policeman Flynn on the street below heard the racket at Ninety-second street and pounding with his nightstick for help, ran up the stairs. By the time he got to the scene of battle with other policemen, the Italians hat? disappeared. The police explain this by saying that they climbed down the elevated pillars to the street. Kenny went to the Presbyterian Hospital.
