MOTHERS SHOCKING CRIME.
Woman In New York stato Hangs Her.
 self and Two Chfidren

Rochester, N. Y, July 2.A horrible tragedy occurred this evening in the yil-s lage of LeRoy, when Mrs. William Baxter hanged herself and two childrens Goodson, aged eight years, and Gladys aged three When her husband return ed to the house at 6 o'clock he could not get in He waited for some time, then broken in 3 window and searched the house. In an unfinished attic over the kitchen, reached by ladder, the horri- ble spectacle met his eyes. Hanging side by side from the rafters were his wife, and the two children The frenzied woman had used clothes line and must have administered chloroform to- the children before attempting to hang them, as none of the neighbors heard an outcry.
 MT. Baxter stated that he came home about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and found one of the children crying. Ask ing what was the matter, the child re- piled that his mother had given him something to smell of and it hurt his nose. The mother passed it off with some remark and the father was not suspicious.
 Mrs Baxter was thirty-eight years old and had been devoted to her family. It is stated that last evening Mrs. Bax- ter handed her husband a bottle of wine to drink. He took some of it and was so sick this morning that he had to consult physician The wine remain- ing will be analysed.
 From indications the woman must have carried the children up the ladder one at a time. The room was so low that the boys feet nearly touched the floor.

Other Races
 Philadelphia, July 2.-The first Amer ican Henley under the auspices of the newly organized American Rowing association was held this afternoon over the national course on the Schuyl- kill river in Fairmount Park. A com paratively small crowd was out to see the races. The association hopes to make it's annual affair the classic row ing event in America. Its plan is cop jed closely after the famous English Henley. The distance-one and i've .sixteenths miles-is the same as the English distance. and rules are practi- #cally alike. The regatta to-day was not as fully representative of American #oarsmen as the stewards of the asso- citation had hoped it would be. Out of twenty seven entries in the ten events, seventeen were from Philadelphia, four from Boston, two from Detroit, and one each from Baltimore, New Haven, San Francisco and Canada. The wealth. CT was clear and very hot, and the river was quite smooth.
 The greatest interest was manifested in the eight-oared shell race between the Argonauts of Toronto. Yale fresil- men, a mixed crew from the University of Pennsylvania and the Union Boat club of Boston.
 The Canadians won easily by four lengths. They took the lead at the start and were never headed, Yale and Pennsylvania furnishing beautiful race for second place. Yale led Penn sylvania oyer half the course when the Pennsylvanians drew up on the New Haven lads but could not hold them, and Yale finished second by nearly a half boat length. In the first single scuIls Ernest George of Boston defeat- ed Robert F. Blake also of Boston A w. Pape of San Francisco was also in the race shortly after the race start ed he stopped rowing and claimed he was fouled by George. The stewards reserved their decision, but Pape later iwithdrew his claim of foul.
 The closest race of the day was be- tween the University of Pennsylvania land Ariel Boat club of Baltimore ir the four-oared shell event. The Ariels were even with the Pennsylvanians tc

 faster than the previous record made
 by the mighty Salvador in 1890. .
 The Brooklyn Handicap winner, Irish
 Lad, was second and Goldsmith, the
 favorite, a bad third.
 Goldsmith, from the w, c. Whitney
 stable, was made a hot favorite, with
 Whitney & Duryea's Irish Lad second
 choice and Waterhoy next in demand.
 Only a few moments was lost at the post, and they were sent away to a good
 start. Blues was first to show, with
 Irish Lad second and Waterboy third.
 Goldsmith was fifth.
 Blues showed the way around the first turn and into the backstretch, with Irish Lad second. Going down the back
 stretch Blues opened up a gap of two lengths on Irish Lad, with Waterboy right at the latter's heels. The favorite was running in fifth position. Round- ing the far turn Burns. on Irish Lad. and Odom, on Waterboy, went after the leader, Blues Foot by foot they closed the gap and at the mile pole both had Blues beaten. Coming into the stretch Waterboy and Irish Lad were running like team. both boys reserving their strength for the final effort in the last eighth of a mile. At the mile and an eighth pole Burns went to the whip. and although the three-year-old responded gamely, he was never able to head Waterboy, who gradually drew away and won by a length. Irish Lad was second. seven lengths in front of Goldsmith. The fractional time of the race is as follows: :12 1-5 :24, :36, AS 1-5, 100 3-5, 1:13, 1:26, 1:S9 Is, 1:52. 2:O4 S-5. ..s.

TWO YOUNG BOYS DROWNED
ONE TRIED TO SAFE COMPANION
 AND ROTH WERE LOST.

Boys Were Thirseen Years of Age, Each
 Drowning Occurred in Quinnipiac
 River Witnessed by Many PIaymates
 George vilifor.h ana charies
 schlayer tho Unfortanote Youths Their Parents Prostratsd.
 The most lamentable drowning acci- dent that has occurred in this section i'll the last few years was the one yes- terday afternoon. when two boys. each thirteen years of age, met their death in the Quinnipiac river. The occur renee is given additional sadness by the fact that one of the boys lost his life in his efforts to save his companion. Both bodies were recovered and Medi- cal Examiner Bartlett gave his verdict as one of accidental drowning.
 It seems that the Qliinnipiac river iii the vicinity of Lombard street is d daily resort for the boys in that part of the city who enjoy swimming. Yes terday the river was frequented by an unusually large number. Among the boys were George villforth the thir- teen-year-old son of Lucas villforth of Exchange street. and Charles Schiayer,
 f tl,e, eo,,,e, a e,S s$ s,,,, ,e Ty,,Y. (, of Easton street. The tide was at it's highest flow when these two boys went into the water villforth, who could mot swim, was piunging around in water up tor his arnn-pits when he stumbled and went under. He came up several feet away and his companions saw that he was in danger of drown ing, The boy, thoroughly frightened, shouted for help and then sank from sight. Instantly little Charlie, Schlayer, yillforth's boon companion, went to the rescue. He grappled with villforth when he came to the surface a second time. Then ensued sight, which the boys who were In the water
 
 at the same time, or on the bank, could only partially describe after the sad event. The two boys, clasped firmly in each other arms, struggled fiercely, one to be saved, the other to save his fellow playmate and himself. The water was too deep, however, and the death like grip of the drowning boy was too firm, and both boys soon sank from view. As the waters closed over their forms. the boys who had been too astonished and frightened at the time to render any assistance, hastened to make the occurrence known. The par ents of the two boys were prostrated when apDrised of the affair
 The drowning happened about 3 o'clock and 1t was not until S.45 that the body of Schlayer was found. Forty five minutes later young Villforth was taken from the water. The bodies were then conveyed to Crawford's undertak- ing establishment and later token to the homes of their respective parents. Both boys graduated from Strong school last month and were to have en- tered the high school in September.

 Thomas Lipton's crews this afternoon after a squall had wrecked their craft. and in the nick of time. Three of the party in the wreck were women. The yacht was the cabin catboat Yankee, of
 New Brunswick, owned by Jacob zieg-
 Ter. On board with him were Edward Ewing. of New York, and Mrs. E. smith and her two daughters, Edna and Elm ma, also of New York The catboat. which was cruising about Sandy Hook bay near the anchorage of the Lipton. fleet, was carrying a full niainsail but no attempt was made to lower or reef when the storm clouds gathered Sud- denly the squalI swept down upon it. and the fury of the wind fairly snapped the mast out of the boat, clean to the deck.
 With the force of the sduall the sea was broken into fury. The wreckage
 hung over the bow of the Yankee. threatening to capsize her momentarily.
 Mrs. Smith and her daughters shrieked
 and became hysterical, the men aboard saving them with difficulty from falling overheard. While they attempted to
 head the wrecked boat into the eye of the gale the wreckage alongside was pounding the planking. Aboard the
 Erin Sir Thomas Lipton, who had been watching the gathering storm, saw the mishap., Almost before the mast had fairly toppled into the sea Sir Thomas had ordered the Erifl's two launches
 lowered away
 It was difficult to get alongside the Yankee, because Of the heavy sea and the swaying, pounding mass of wreck

 Erin's big launch, was made fast to the wrecked yacht and her head was
 brought around so that the gear could
 be cleared away. The smaller launch also got line aboard and both lowed the dismasted craft, which by this time was hale full of water from the seas which had broken over her, into the lee
