Reported That Dunraven's Yacht Will
 Meet Defender in English Waters.

Reported That Dunraven's Yacht Will Meet Defender in English Waters. London, Feb. 5.-The Worlds Glasgow correspondent telegraphs that Valkyrie has been ordered from New York to the Clyde preparatory for the earlier English regattas and that 1t is expected the De fender will. cross and race Valkyrie in British waters.

 Glasgow yachtsmen, he adds. are not surprised at the decision of the commit tee, the report being regarded as cour- teous and conclusive. The feeling is strong that Dunraven should withdraw the charges and the unfortunate business be forgotten forever.
 New York, Feb. 5.-Lord Dunraven's cutter Valkyrie III, now lying in Erie Bas.n, is not likely, to leave there until the opening of next yachting season, and then most likely under the flag of a new owner for 1t was learned yesterday that her present owner has no intention of taking her back to England if he can help it. ssft.. - aes
 .'The yacht will be of very little use as a racer now over there," said H. Matt land Kersey, Lord Dunraven's represent ative here because she draws so much water; and now that they have adopted the new linear rating rule she would have no show" T 'f-
 "Then you think Lord Dunraven would sell the yacht at sacrifice ?" was asked
 "Yes indeed. should not wonder if she could be bought for the price of her sails-say about $25,000."
 It is practically settled that the sloop yacht Defender will not cross the Allan tic for the purpose of sailing in the Med iterranean races against the yachts of her class. So the Britannia, Ailsa and Satanta will have to fight it out off Cannes, Nice and other places, where the series of races are to be sailed
 Small yachts have already begun fac- ing there, and the big annual regattas at Nice are officially announced for March 29, 30 and 31, April 1, 6 and 2, so Defend CT would have to be ready to sail in a week if she were going to take part in these races, for she would necessarily cross the ocean under jury rig, and there would be none too much time for her to get in racing trim after her arrival on the other side.
 Ex-Commodore Edwin D. Morgan of the New York Yacht club, the only mem Der of the syndicate owning Defender now in town, said yesterday: "I have no information about the plans for De- fender the coming seasony

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Richard koettke, Unable to Get Employment, Killed Himself His Wife, Parents and
 Three Children.

Chicago, Feb. 5.-An entire family, con- sisting of seven persons, were found dead this morning, the result of the murder ous work and suicide last night of Rich ard Kloettke, a carpenter, residing at 207 Berteau avenue. The dead are: Richard Kloettke, aged S8; Kate Kloettke, his wife; John Kloettke. his father, aged 73; Nina Kloettke, his mother, aged Il; Nina Kloettke his daughter, aged 9; Anna Kloettke his daughter aged 8; Emma Kloettke, his daughter, aged z. The dis covery was made at 7:30 o'clock this morning by a neighbor. who called at the KIoettke residence to get some work done. The victims were all killed by shots from revolver, which was found at Kloettke's side. Kloettke had been out of work for some time and had no money and no prospects of getting work.
 He had been out of work since Christ mas. A pathetic feature of the tragedy is that two neighbors called at the Kloettke cottage this morning, each with the glad news of employment for him. Each of KIoettke's victims was shot through the head and death must have been instantaneous in each case. There was an odor of chloroform in the house and it Is surmised that the murderer had rendered his victims unconscious before firing the fatal shots. The appearance of Mrs. Kloettke alone of all the victims presented an indication of struggle. Her hands were scratched and her cloth ing torn. Little Emma and her mother were found in the rear room, while in the front room the aged grandparents lay in one bed and the remaining two children in another. Kloettke's body lay on the floor. Beside him on chair were a whetstone and two sharpened knives He had emptied his revolver and re- loaded it.

A Fruit Steamer Ashore.

Patchogue, L. l., Feb. 5.--The two masted steamer Lamington, loaded with fruit from Valencia, Spain, for New York, came ashore twelve miles east of Fire island at o'clock last night. The life saving crews of the Lone Hill, Bellport and Blue Point stations are now taking off the crew by means of the brooches buoy. There were twenty-four persons aboard, including two passengers. The steamer now lies 150 yards from the shore at right angles with the beach, and is unusually high up. sIt is probable that the steamer will be total loss. The steamer now lies easy in 2 feet of water and is settling in the sand. The Merritt Wrecking company have sent a tug to launch life boat. and greatly retards the life savers in their work of hauling in the brooches buoy. x3

planation-The Games To-day and To-
morrow-New Haven Team strength
ened.

day and tomorrow at Elm City park,
The New Haven club has been greatly
strengthened by the addition of Leo
Smith of Newark at short and Mills of
st. Louis Browns in left field. The
game that these men put up in Newark
Sunday show that New Haven has been
greatly strengthened, and from now on
their friends expect to see them climb
to the front. The game on Wednesday
(circus day. will be called at 4;30 to
enable those who attend the circus to
witness the game also,
Manager Sullivan said last night as
follows: 1t is the custom of all cities in
the United States, where ball clubs are
playing under the national agreement,
w SiNC LlIhCNo SuOI LII any StiluC III
case the visiting club does not appear.
This is just what l did, and the tickets
given yesterday will entitle the holder
to any game played in Elm City park
this season. At least 95 per cent. of
the people there We're perfectly satisfied
| with the arrangement. l will further
say to the disgruntled ones, let them pre-
sent their check to-day at the gate, and
of they want it | will return them their
twenty-five cents. To be more explicit,
l will say that at least every day
there are quite a number who steal in
| over the fence, which makes the dead
head list quite an item. Should I pay
back the money to those who stole in
yesterday l would be paying to people
who had not paid to come and see the
game, and any fair minded man will
see my position.
| The Nets did not show up yesterday
| owing, as said, to misunderstanding
on their part of the schedule. The
| scheduled games have been somewhat
| changed recently. and the Nets were
under the impression that they had a
| day off yesterday Mr.. Wyckoff, the
| league umpire, who has been detailed at
| this city until tomorrow, awarded the
| game to New Haven by default. The
New Haven team went upon the field
and pitched the ball three times over
| the plate, meeting all the requirements
| on their part. Although the game was
awarded to New Haven by score of
| to a few of the crowd of 800 per-
sons were inclined to be dissatisfied
and DANGEROUSLY demanded their mon
| ey back The better element present
at the game was perfectly satisfied with
| receiving rain checks, but these few
most of whom had stolen their way III
over the fence, thought they saw a
| chance to make quarter and when
| Manager Sullivan and Secretary Tan
| yane ot the New Haven team left the
grounds followed them to the ear
\ threatening to drive them out of town
| The occurrence is much to be regretted
| but to all reasonable persons it is APP
| parent that Manager Sullivan did ev-
erything in his power to adjust mat
ters properly. The Nets will probably
appear to-day. Mr.. Sullivan last even
| ing teleghaphed to Manager Freedman
of the Nets, but up to a late hour had
| received no answer.

Yale Chess Club.

At the annual meeting of the Yale
Chess club held last evening the follow
ing officers for the ensuing year We're
elected: President, w. M. Murdick '9S
S.; vice president, S. Holt &c., secre-
tary, w. G. Low '9S; treasurer, D. B.
McCalmont '97 S. The correspondence
chess games with Harvard which were
begun in the early spring have been
postponed until fall, owing to the ap-
proach of the end of the term. Twen-
ty-one moves have been played. Yale
suggested that the games be adjudicat-
ed or settled by over-the board play at
Springfield, but Harvard would not
agree to this, and so it was decided to
finish them in the fall. The gAanes are
very nearly even, Yale being a pawn
ahead in game A.
