SHOT BY A MULATTO.
Fatal Result OF Quarrel at Providence
Fred VOIker Dead and His Brother
Jack Wounded.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nav %.

Providence, r. l., May 20.
AT 6 O'Clock this evening Fred and Jack
Volker, brothers, wore shot by Arthur Sains-
bury during quarrel on Hills wharf. Fred
died before medical assistance could reach
him, and the other brother lies at the Rhode
Island Hospital in critical condition.
Sainsbury, the murderer, IL a bright, intelli-
gent appearing mulatto, about 20 years of
age. He was born in Trinidad, and came to
this country about year and half ago. For
awhile he had been employed as steward up
on the coasting schooner James Y. Smith.
As he was out of work and out of money he
had been allowed to sleep on board the cat
boat Nimrod, belonging to the Volker boys,
which was moored in the stream off the head
of Hills wharf. These young men are be-
tween 20 and 25 years old, and until year
had been occasionally in the courts for minor
offences. Sainsbury wanted a ne edle and
thread to repair some of his clothing, day
or two ago, and tried to get it from the boat.
The cabin was locked, and in endeavoring to
force au entrance he took out the pump and
made other changes. The owners visited the
boat, and seeing the damage, appear to have
criticised Sainsbury harshly for the damage
done. All three met on the wharf this even
ing. Fred Volker accused Sainsbury of
damaging the boat, and quarrel ensued,
during which the mulatto drew five bar
relied double acting bulldog revolver of 32
caliber and fred three shots at Fred, who fell
to the ground. Mr.. Haughey. man who
has boats to let on the wharf, rushed between
the men, when Sainsbury turned and fired one
bullet into Jack Volker, who was coming to
his brothers relief. Mr.. Haughey took away
the pistol without resistance, and witness
informed Policeman Mayno of the affair, who
arrested Sansbury as he was walking up the
wharf. Sainsbury was locked up at the
Richmond street station. He claims the
shooting was in self defence.

BosToN, MAY 80.
The new yacht Mayfower started on her
trial trip Saturday night. but anchored in the
outer harbor until 8 this morning, when the
trip was resumed and at 9 40 she had started
under sail for the first time on the starboard
track. The wind was light from the south
west and the vessel didn't move at more than
a three knot pace. AS she began to gather
her heels the staysail was set and at 9.45 she
was standing out with the jib, staysal and
mainsail set. After passing Sound
Point and when standiug out through
the broad sound the wind be-
gan to treshen and the Mayfower in
creased her pace to six knots, with working
gaff topsail set. The pace perfectly suited
those on board Then the wind began to
haul to southerly and easterly about two
points. The sloop hauled out around the
whistling buoy and stood for Cape Cod.
About this time the cutter Huron came in
sight ahead. and the men on the Mayfow er
were called aft to trim her by the stern if
possible. The Huron was little over a mile
ahead when both started on the star
board tack in the direction of Cape Cod.
The wind was still light and the sea smooth.
When the Mayflower started after the Huron
the later had all her sheets trimmed fiat and
the topsais set As the vessels stood out to
sea the wind increased to a stiff breeze.
When the race began the Huron was two
miles ahead and little to the windward.
During the first few miles the big sloop
Gained somewhat and was showing the best
weather work, but the Huron was also doing
well, Capt. WATSON gave the Huron q sharp
luff and she shot we'll up to the windward.
The contest was continued for Is miles be-
fore either gave it up. The Huron held the
lead at 10 miles, the Mayfower not seeming
TO gain an inch. The Mayflower didn't have
the full benefit Of her mainsail for its leach
was Hopping badly. The Huron's mainsail
wa. nearly perfect. The Mayfower kept
after the Huron for Is miles when Capt.
Stone eased her oil.

the presence of insects in winter wheatfelds
grow more numerous, but beyond certain
afflicted districts in Kansas, Illinois. Indiana

Looking over the entire winter wheat belt
the promise is still good for an average yield.

BRUNO AND THE PIG.
Why Lady Thought She Saw the Big
Newfoundland Dog Laugh.

Why IA Lady Thought She Saw the Big
Newfoundland Dog Laugh.
Mr.. Kane's Bruno is great New
foundland dog, so large that when he
stands on his hind feet he can rest his
paws on Mrs. Kane's shoulders. But,
though so tall, he is only a year old,
merely puppy, and as full of fun and
play as you can think. Mrs. Kane and he
are great friends, and he seems to think
she belongs entirely to him. For a
long time she had no other pet; so
Bruno was petted to his hearts content.
But one day Mr.. Kane brought home a
pig, little, pink-skinned fellow with
white bristles, looking pretty enough for
any lady to take into her lap.
Mrs. Kane was charmed with the pig
and made pet of him at once, much
to Bruno's disgust. He would act as
sulky and jealous as could be whenever
Mrs. Kane petted piggy, and would
never notice the little fellow, unless to
give him a spiteful little dip whenever
he had a good chance. Piggy
w 40 oO IIClIC lIIdu IuGN gave
HIM the run of the yard. One
day Mrs. Kane heard fearful squealing
and stepped out to see what was the
matter What do you think? Bruno
had the poor little fellow in his mouth,
and he carried him to apuddle of black,
sticky mud and dropped him into the
very middle, where he stuck fast,
squealing louder than ever. Then
Bruno came running to his mistress,
with his tongue lolling out, and his
brown eyes twinkling, as much as to
say 1--WE fixed that little Ounce now,
haven't IP"
SHANE on you, Brunei" said his
mistress; "a great dog like you teasing
that poor little piggy! Go straight and
get him out!'
Bruno turned and scampered back to
the puddle. He fished out the Little
pig, brought him back, and laid him at
his mistress feet, the dlrtest little pig
you ever saw. She had to get warm
water and a broom and scrub him.
And all the while Bruno sat there with
his head on one side, and tongue hang
ing out, watching her. And | almost
think | could see that dog laugh. Our
