Then Himself.
DALLAS, Tex. July Be. o. Sanders,
formerly residing in Decatur, Tex, a
few weeks ago married Miss Anna
Cobb, of Fort Worth, went to
Mexico on a bridal tour and came
to Dallas about ten days ago and
took room at Capt. McCoy's.
At 2 o'clock yesterday morning
two pistol shots were heard, but
nobody could locate them. Yesterday
afternoon an examination of the room
occupied by Sanders and wife revealed
a horrible sight. The couple lay on
the bed with their faces all swollen
and black and the bodies, the bed
and the floor deluged in blood. An
examination of the bodies disclosed a
bullet hole in the right temple of each
of them.
Sanders left letter saying that the
cause of his action in killing Anna and
himself, was that he had discovered
that she did not love him, but loved
another man, and would bring dis
grace upon his name. He therefore
thought it best that both should die.

American Wild Lilies.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The lily tribe has become SO large and
magnificent from the constant introduction
of handsome varieties from Japan and else
where that we are inclined to overlook our
beautiful native varieties. So many species
found scattered all over Europe and Asia
have been successfully grown in the United
States that 1t is difficult to discover which
of the species generally known really be-
long to the United States. The great pop
and growers to subdivide the species and
multiply varieties to such an extent as to
bewilder the amateur in making selec-
ton. For instance, Henderson says that
prominent European house offers sixty diff
ferent varieties of l.. Thunbergium alone
and nearly as many of l.. CaEdidum; l..
Umbellatum has about thirty varieties any
one of which would well represent the
family; and it is the same with many 9TH
ers. And taking the sixty or more species
now well known, and Subdivide these into
from thirty to sixty varieties, and We can
have a general idea of the great extent of
this beautiful family. But, in spite of all
this confusing beauty, we are ever ready to
recognize the merits and admire the sturdy
worth of our native lilies growing in wild
profusion at this season. One of the pref
test August lilies is the dainty pink-and-
white sort, which belongs to the speciosum
family, with roSe-colored petals. striped

Stripping Valkyrie for Her Return
to England.
PROPOSED CONTESTS FALL THROUGH
Correspondence With Dunraven
Given Out.
WHY HE QUIT YESTERDAY

NEW YORK, September 13.-The yacht
Valkyrie III left her anchorage at Bay
Ridge this morning and went to Erie
basin. On arrival at the basin she was
hauled into a position between two steam
ers just outside the dry dock, where she
had several times been dried out for clean
ing and repairing purposes. The Wiven-
hoe crew, under command of Captains
Cranfield and Sycamore, were Immediately
set to work to strip the yacht and prepare
her for the voyage across the ocean home.
The sailors worked with their usual alac-
rity and effectiveness, and before II
O'Clock had lowered the topmast and re-
moved the bowsprit gear. The yacht will
doubtlessly be ketch-rigGed for the ocean
voyage. as she was when she sailed from
England for America.
Gen. Charles H. Taylor of Boston tele-
graphed to Lord Dunraven and Mr. Iselin
in effect that, as the races for the Ameri-
cas- cup had such an unsatisfactory termi-
nation, he would give 5000 for the purpose
Of procuring a cup or trophy to be contested
for by the Defender ard Valkyrie. Mr..
Taylor, in his telegram. stated that the
races must take place off Marblehead
Mass, and that he was ready to make the
conditions of the race aside from the loca-
ton suit the gentlemen representing the
yachts.
LORD DunraVen made the following re-
Spouse last night:
1T Is a magnanimous offer, but I can say
nothing further until the matter has been
considered at the meeting of the cup COM
mittee late this evening, at which 1 shall
be present"
Mr.. Iselin said:
Il will race the Defender anywhere, at
any time and for anything. 1t does not lie
wholly with me, however"
Whatever doubt may have existed as to
Lord Dunraven's intentions of racing the
Valkyrie in this country again was dis
PEELED this morning by Mr.. H. Maitland
kersey. When seen by reporter, he said
NO the Valkyrie will never again race
on this side of the Atlantic The races
are over, and that settles it, 1 have moth
ing more to say on that point"
1T was rumored last evening that Lord
Dunraven intended to start for Niagara
Falls today" said the reporter.
IF that is SO. the rumor is false. He
may go to Newport in a day or two, but
when cannot say"
Mr.. kersey. speaking of the offer of
Col. Taylor of Boston. said that as Lord
Dunraven had decided not to race his
yacht again in America. 1t would be idle
TO discuss that any other offer.
The yacht Defende-, gaily decorated with
flags, left Bay Ridge this morning, pre-
sumably, bound fer New Rochelle.

GREAT RACING AT SPRINGFIELD.
Good Work by the Bicycle Cracks

Good Work by the Bicycle Cracks
Yesterday.
The great Springfield, Mass, meet closed
with its usual blaze of glory yesterday.
Nine Of the greatest races Of the season
were gotten off in less than an hour and a
half. Bald proved himself the superior of
any of his competitors in both instances,
hut superior only by matter of foot
over A. Cabanne, who ran second in each
of the open contests and who rode unpaced
in the mile handicap from scratch in PIG.
The race Of the day was the two-mile pro-
fessional handicap, in which nineteen men
started and In which Walter c. Sanger rode
one mile practically unpaced from scratch,
pulling Starbuck up. Starbuck then pulled
Sanger through the field, and the big fellow
worked through the bunch and won from
Crooks of Buffalo, in a hard race down the
stretch in 4.24 40, the worlds record for
handicap riding. Sanger also won the mile
pl Professional, running five lengths away from
Tyler In the stretch closing this meeting
with 5000 for the two days work of less
than ten minutes of riding.
The features Of the day were the record
breaking attempts. In nearly every at
tempt records fell. Fred. ]. Titus was
paced by almost the entire class field and
succeeded in riding twenty-seven miles 1876
yards in the hour, lowering his own record
of twenty-SiX miles 1,4S9 yards. Titus
ride was a splendid one.
The worlds fve-mie record for any class
was lowered by Starbuck, the professional,
paced by quad and tandem teams.
Starbuck also lowered the three-mile rec
ord to 6.05 40; the four-mile to sos 3-5 and
his time for the five-mile averages near
two minutes and two seconds to the mile,
or 10.11 1-5, a wonderful performance as it
was done from standing start, the first
mile in 205 40 and second in 1.50. John
Gardiner Of Syracuse took forty-six seconds
from the five-mile paced class A record, do
ing his ride in 11.03 2-5; Gardiner fell just
after crossing the tape. striking against the
fence. He was carried from the track bleed
ing profusely, but conscious and happy.
Fred. Loughcad of Sarnia, the champion of
Canada, rode faster two miles unpaced
from a standing start than has ever been
ridden from flying start, his time being
$50 and the former flying start record 4.51
Is and standing start 4.55 10. Maddox
failed in his attempt to break the mile I'M
