Wonderful Time in Harness.
Friday at Chicago the wonderful four
year-old Directum trotted a mile in
2:06 1-2, lowering his own record by
half a second and eclipsing all pfev ious
performances by stallions or four-year-
olds. ’
Owing to the high wind no effort was
made to equal or surpass the record of
Nancy Hanks. Yesterday’s perfor-
mance has never been approached ex-
cept by the incomparable Nancy, and
under the unfavorable weather condi-
tions it greatly strengthens the young
Californian’s pretentious to the highest
honor of the trotting turf.
Another great performance at Chi-
cago on the same day was that of Fly:
ing J ib,who paced a mile in 2:04, equall-
ing the record and placing him on an
equality with Mascot.

The Epidemic Toadstool.
According to published reports, the
toadstool seems to have assumed an
epidemic form in the neighborhood of
‘ New York city. Whether it is because
the particular fungus in question is
more abundant and more vicious than
‘usual this season, or because people
have suddenly taken it up as an article
of food, we cannot, says the Washing-
ton Post, undertake to say ; but certain
it is that within the past few days we
have heard more of its poisonous work
than during the ten yea-rs preceding.
We must at least acquit the toadstool
of pernicious activity in the matter.
He has changed none of his habits.
He springs up as usual in flat, low and
moist places, the legitimate product of
decaying organic matter. He is un-
wholesome to look at, but harmless if
one contents himself with looking. He
does nothing to seduce or captivate.
He simply squats there as though
brooding over the disintegration and
the ruin which hisvbloated luxuriance
represents. To those who. would pluck 1
him he offers no resistance. Against
the processes of cooking and consump-
tion he sets up no sort of protest. , He
contents himself with posthumous ven-
geance, and he strikes his slayers from
the grave which they have given him.
We cannot admit that the toadstool is
to bc'blamed for the folly of those who
swallow him. He is obeying the laws
of nature, while they are violating
them. '
An expert has been telling one of the
New York papers something about the
peculiarities which differentiate the
poisonous toadstool from the savory
and wholesome mushroom ; and, while
he says nothing that the average citi-
zen does not know already by virtue of
his own experience and observation,
we reproduce the following on the
chance of its doing geod : ' ,
“The edges of the mushroom are
usuall thin, irregular, or ragged and
turne upward slightly. On the under
side it is of a pinkish hue, and from the
top the skin may be easily peeled. The
toadstool is a smooth, sleek-looking ob-
ject, with smooth edges. It resembles
an umbrella opened and the under side
is sometimes white and then again of a
deep gray cast. Of the two growths
the toadstool is the sturdiest. The
stem is larger and longer than that of
the mushroom.”
It may be added, further, that the
mushroom has an unmistakable odor
and a rich and distinct taste, while the
toadstool is odorless and tasteless. In-
deed, we are at a loss to understand
how any rational human being who has
once seen, smelt and eaten a mushroom,
can by any possibility mistake a toad-
stool for one. .
The fact remains, nevertheless, that
people in the vicinity of the great me-
tropolis who should, by all rules of
propriety, be the most cultivated and
most intelligent créhtures upon earth,
continue to eat thdstools with persist-
ent energy, and to die of them with
monotonous regularity. And it occurs
to us that while the philosopher is con-
structing a theory to account for this
singular epidemic " of stupidity, the
chemist and the doctor might bestir'
themselves to discover a remedy for
the consequences.
The distressing fatallity attending the
mistaken used toadstools that befel a
former Norwalk family while tempo-
rarily residing at Noroton, will be pain-
fully remembered. In that case the
members, who supposed they had
gathered mushrooms, deemed them-
selves experts in the selection, and
had many times been afield to pluck
theis-

Superior Court. .
The Superior Court adjourned on
Friday until next Tuesday at 10 o’clock.
Just before the adjournment sentence
was pronounced upon three criminals,
Henry Woods, the colored man who
slashed Edward Brown with a razor,
received 20 ' months in states prison.
Judge Wheeler said: “I might in this
case affix a penalty of five years, but I
believe from the evidence that the pris-
oner, although not justified in doin
what he did, was engaged in a quarrc
which he did not begin, and I impose
the lighter sentence.” .
Louis Breen, who induced 15-year-
old Patrick Treahey to assist him in
robbing the store of Abis Bender, is to
spend 18 months in the penitentiary.
The judge said that Breen was the pro-
moter o the crime, and that his story
upon the stand was a tissue of false-
and the fact that nothing was preVious-
‘ly known against his record, saved him
from a heavier penalty.

New Rule for Baggagemen.
A new rule has gone into effect on the
Consolidated Railroad. It requires
every baggage master to keep a strict
account of every piece, of baggage re-
ceived and sent out, when received and
on what train, when sent out and on
what train ; also where each piece came
from and where it is sent to and a de-
scription of it. All these different things
have to be entered into books, and
many of the baggage masters are com-
mencing to think that they will soon be
better bookkeepers than baggage mast-
ers.
A Discouraging Report.
Says the Stamford Advocate : Capt.
Decker, who went to Bridgeport Mon-
day at the opening of the state oyster
beds, has returned and reports the en-
tire set completely ruinedf by the recent
storms. The beds have been badly
washed and are covered with mud,
which has smothered the bysters. The
probabilities are that the beds will yield
nothing for the rest of the season, and
a large number of oystermen who have
been depending upon them for a liveli-
hood during the winter are utterly de-
prived of earning it in that manner.
There was a large number of boats
from different parts of the state, as well
as the large number Of Bridgeport
boats on hand to go :to ~\tork early

fatal. She fell from a third-story win-

he chooses to do so, is simply prepos-
terous. We think of bringing a suit
for damages against Mr. Pinney, and
just as soon as we can prove the dama-

Four Highwaymen Have an Easy Time
Getting Away With a. Lil-go
Sum of ltIoney.
CALUMET, Mich, Sept. Hit-At 9:30
o’clock this morning the passenger train
on the Mineral Range railroad coming to
Calumet was ‘held up by four highway-
mcn at Highway, about half way between
Calumet and Hancock. The engineer and
firemen Were covered with revolvers by
two of like robbers while the other two or-
dered the express messenger to put the con-
tents of his safe in a bag which one of the
robbers carried. The messenger immedi-
ately complied and handed out some $75,000
consigned to the Calumet and Hecla mine,
and which was part of the money to be
paid by the mine on its payroll.
After securing the booty the robbers fired
a shot and ordered the engineer to go ahead
very quick, which he did. The Whole affair
was such a surprise that the passengers
knew nothing of the trouble until after
the train had started again. The train
was crowded.
Light guards and sheriffs are out scour-
ing the country. It is thought that the
robbers had horses conveniently near and
a boat ready at the lake, from which place
they would make for northern Canada.

A‘VOKE TO DIE BY FLOOD.
Villa-Canoe Devastated by a Bush of Wu.-
ters air-Night.
MADRID, Sept. 16.-——The town of Villa-
Canas, in the province of Toledo, has been
devastated by floods, and a large number of
lives have been lost.
Heavy rains have fallen in the province,
and the town, which is situated on rather
low ground, was inundated. .
Late last night, when most of the inhab-
itants had retired, the water from the hills,
Where there had probably been a cloud-
burst, swept down on the town, carrying
away almost everything in its path.
Huge trees that had been torn bodily
from the ground swept. along- on the crest
of the rushing waters and were hurled
with frightful violence against the houses
in the path of the onrushing tide and car-
ried the structures with them.
Men and women awakened from sound
sleep by the tottering of their dwellings
frantically rushed. to Windows and leaped
out, only to be engulfed in the water that
was hissing and seething about the falling
houses. '
It is positively known that 40 persons
were drowned, and it is believed thatthe.
bodies of many others are buried under the“
ruins of their homes;
It is thought that the government will
have to extend aid to the town.
