Chester, Conn., Sept. 22.—Driven in- sane through his continued ill health, Adelbert H. Kenyon, 63 years old, to- night attempted to shoot Mrs, Minnie Chatfield and then, turning the gun on himself, committed suicide, receiv- ing the full charge of shot in the head, dying probably instantly. Kenyon, who has been in poor health for some time, left the house of his sister, Mrs. F. Y. Silliman, with whom he has been staying, late today, and went to his room in the home of Thomas Ladd. Mrs. Chatfield, house- keeper at the Ladd home, became frightened at Kenyon's action and ran out of the house and across the yard to a neghbor’s. Kenyon saw her and fired at her with a shotgun, but missed her. After firing at Mrs, Chatfield Kenyon discharged his gun time after time, the shot tearing holes through the ceiling of the room and the walls, and then turned the gun on himself and sent a charge of shot through his head, falling te .the: floor, where he was found by Deputy Sheriff C. W. Leete, who had been summoned. Kenyon, who was a widower, leaves a brother and sister. BODY OF GOV.

Va., Sapt. tire family of sjx persons dered and the bodies of all but one of the -victims wete burned with their hoéme at Hurley, Buchanan county, Virginia, early today. The motive was evidently robbery, for the owner of the house, an aged woman, known as “Aunt -Betty”- Justis, was generally supposed to keep a large sum of mon- ey about the place. Mrs. Justis, her son-in-law, George Meadows, his wife and their three children were the victims, Meadows’ body, badly mutilated, was found this morning in the vard of his destroyed home, the funmeral pyre of his loved ones. Two bullet: holes through his body and s ghastly wound in his meck whieh almost severed the head from thé hody. The blackened masses of haif-burned flesh and charred bones of the two women and the Lhree chil- dren were found - beneath the debris, each body bearing évidences of mur- der commiited before the house was destroyed by_fire, evidently for the purpose of hiding the crime. The eld- er. woman's skull was upturned some distance from the remainder of her half-burned body amid the smoulder- ing ruins. 4 Another daughter of Mrs. Justis told the police that her mother had a large sum of money buried under the sill of the house and they succeeded in digging up $950. in gold and silver. The murderers are supposed to have gotten ‘the $600 which “Aunt Betty” always carried on her person. Bloodhounds were rushed to the scene and in a short time they took up the trail of the supposed murderers in a_ cornfield which adjoined the Justis home. - There the footprints of three men were found impressed in the soft soil, A posse-of citizens, heavilv arm- Ielmh-wn. the bloodnounds, bent later. o The president did not feel the alti- on_lynching the murderers if they are captured.

FOUND NEW ESKIMO TRIBE. Explorer Also Reports Discovery of Copper in Prince Albert Land. San Fradcisco, Sept. 22.—On the whaler Jeannette, which arrived in this port yesterday, was W. J. Bower, an Arctic explorer, who reports the dis- covery of a trip of Eskimos who, ac- cording to his statement, live on a point of Prince Albert Land. They call themselves Nunacaotics, are tall, and look like North American Indians. The explorer was cordially welcomed by them, and he procured many rich furs, From the town of the Nunmacaotics, Bower proceeded farther north, where he discovered immense copper deposits. On this trip he lost an eye through the bite of a spider. This was not the end of Bowers' troubles, for after the eyeball was removed by the crude surgery of an Eskimo, the schooner used by the party was wrecked and the~adventurers had to walk 130 miles to Point Barrow, where they were taken on board the Jeannette.

MAKES KNOWN PLANS FOR THE BIG CELEBRATION, WILL ATTEMPT A FLICHT From Governors Island Across Lower Bay and Around the Statue of Lib- orty—Wilbur Wright and Curtis Meet . New York, Sept. 22.—A flight from Governors Island across thé lower bay and around the Statue of Liberty wiil probably be the first feat in aviation during the Hudson-Fulton celebration. Glenn H. Curtiss, winner of the first international aviation contest, an- nounced today that he would attempt this flight as soon as possible after he had assembled his machine. No lil-Feeling Between the Wrights and Curtiss. Wilbur Wright, who has his machjne almost in flying shape, met Curtiss for the first time today since the lat- ter returned from his European tri- umphs. The meeting, which took place in Wright's shed on Governors Island, was cordial. ‘No ill-feeling ex- ists beécause of the suit which the Wright brothers have brought against the ¥erring-Curtiss company for al- leged infringement of patents. Wright asked Curtiss if he had found the informafion given him by the Wrights before Curtiss sailed for France of any value to him.. Mr. Curtiss replied that he had, and further pleasantries were exchanged. Ideal Grounds for Landing, It was while inspecting the grounds at Governors Isiand with William J. Hammer of the Hudsen-Fulton avia- tion committee that Curtiss made known his plan to fly around the Statue of Liberty. “These greunds are great,” he said. “They are a Nt- tle rough for starting, but they are ideal for landing.” The Machine Wright Will Use. The machine which Wilbur Wright will use is of exactly the same dimen- sions as that which his brother Or- ville used at Fort Myer last vear; indeed, it ineludes part of that ill- fated aeroplane which fell to earth, causing the death of Lieutenant Self- ridge of the signal cor It is not as fast a machine as t one which has been sold by the Dayton brothers to the signal corps, but it is cgj le of carrying two men and of making a #peed of between 38 to 40 miles an hour. Curtiss will make no flights in a wind of moge than five or six miles, but it is likely that Wright may at- tempt flights in a higher wind if it from a favorable direction. Wright's contract with the celebration commit- tee requires a flight of one hour's du- ration, while Curtiss has the eoption of making any flight which his judg- ment dictates.
