MURDERED FOR HIS CHIYALRY.

Charles Connors Had His Throat Cut as
He Answers to woman's Appeal for
Assistance.
FALL RIVER, Aug. 2s. -On Saturday
night Andrew Gibson returned home
from a barber shop and his actions so
alarmed his wife, who is an invalid, that
she went to a window and asked a
passerby to come in and try to pacify
her husband. The first who responded
to her appeal was Charles H. Connors
He was young man and rushed up
stairs, where be was met by Gibson with
an open razor in his hand. In an instant
the deadly weapon was slashed across
Connors s jugular vein. The victim ran
down stairs and into an adjoining store
where he died in a few moments, his
last words being. 'My God, boys, have
been murdered. Good by all.
Meantime Gibson had been roaming
about the yard. The neighbors started
to secure him. With the razor in his
hand he rushed across the street to a
vacant field where he cut his throat. He
died in a hospital at o'clock.

MUSHROOMS ARE PLENTIFUL.

Fields in This Neighborhood Being
Secured for the Edible Fungus.
Mushrooms are unusually plentiful
this year The fields in the neighbor-
hood Of this city are being overrun with
men, women and children in quest Of
them.
There is an old rural saying that there
is only one way to tell mushroom from
a tosdstool. That is, to eat tiff you
live, it is a mushroom If you die 1t is a
toadstool.
Thus far no deaths from toadstool
eating have been reported. The Viii
mington gatLerers must be very fortu.
nate or unusually discriminating in
their search for this popular fungus
growth.
In defining mushroom Webster gives
the following characteristics. (a) IAN
edible fungus, having a white stalk
which bears a convex or even hattish
expanded portion called the pilens.
This is whitish and silky or somewhat
scaly above, and bears on the under
side radiating gills which are at first
iesh-colored, but gradually become

used for food. It is also cultivated
from spawn. (b) Any large fungus
especially one of the germs Agaricus
toa3stool. Several species are edible
but many are very poisonous.
Under this definition It would be wei
for lovers Of dainties to be careful whai

FAMOUS YACHTS TOSAIL
Dates of the Preliminary and
Final International Contests
TRIAL RACES TO BEGIN SEPT. 7

Lord Dunraven Has Decided to Sail
Earlier Than at First Arranged and
Now the Time is Fixed for the Contest
That VIII Save the Cup.
NEW YoRK, Aug. 2s.-The trial races
to decide upon which vessel shall save
the old Americas cup from England's
grasp will begin on September T. They
will take place off Sandy Hook. Details
Of the start, course, etc, will be an
nounced in few days by the Americas
Cup Committee Commodore Morgan
has offered his steam yacht May to the
committee to follow the yachts that have
entered to compete as defenders for the
cup, and it has been accepted by the com
mittee.
One day will intervene between the
races, and the number of trial races will
depend upon how many it takes to satisfy
the committee for purposes of selection
of the cup defender.
The steamer Taurus has been chartered
by members and friends .of the New
York Yacht Club who want to see the
great contest and the charge for tickets
will be moderate. These trials are ex-
pected to produce contests we'll worth
witnessing, as the boats competing win
have been brought to the highest point
of perfection in condition and manage
ment, and no such exhibition in yacht
racing has ever before been attempted.
The boats will be well handled, and in
most Instances be manned with the best
of racing crews.
The date of the first race for the
Americas cup is September 2S
Commander Smith was advised by
letter from Europe that Lord Dunraven
would sail for America on the Campania
September 16, and be accompanied by the
vice commodore of the Royal Yacht
Squadron, the Marquis of Ormonde, but
since that time he has been advised that
Lord Dunraven will leave earlier than
the 10th, probably on the 18th Of Sep
tember.

CADETS IN TROUBLE At The FAIR.
Army, and Had Severe Punishment
Melted Out to Them.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Uncle Sam has
been having no end of trouble with his
young soldiers from West Point down at
the grounds of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition. The discipline of the army
has been disregarded, and a terrible pun
ishment has been meted out to the
gray uniformed offenders, some of whom
are ready to graduate with high honors
from the West Point Military Academy.
The rule that was violated provided
that no members of the battalion should
leave the exposition grounds without
hrst securing a permit from the COM
mandant, which, by the way, might be
secured for the asking.
The offenders were First Cadet Cap
tain Conrad and Cadets Seeley and Bash.
Charges were made against them en-
last Wednesday, and they were at once
arr ested and imprisoned in the guard
tents until Thursday, when they were
called before the commandant, who gave
them the full limit Of military law for
their offence.
The punishment meted out to Cadet
Captain Conrad was even more severe
than that prescribed to his companions.
The young captain was reduced to ,the
rank Of private He has. been punished
further by being sentenced to confne-
ment within the sentinel llines
Of the encampment. Conrad
was captain of the first class, and
is almost ready TO graduate He re.
ceived his appointment in June last, and
had It not been for his breach of duty
last Tuesday he would have held it until
the time of his graduation.
Cadet Conrad is the son of Captain
Conrad Of the regular army, who is now
stationed at Fort Sheridan, and Private
Seeley is a nephew of the late P. T.
Barnum.
