SUICIDE.
The Body Recovered by the Son.

About 2 O'Clock Friday man named
Michael Killeen, forty years of age and {
native of Ireland, committed suicide by jump
ing into the river at the head of St. Mary
street bulls Head. A BULLETIN reporter
visited the scene of the tragedy and obtained
the following particulars:
He states that three times before his father
had made attempts to commit suicide, bu'
that he prevented him. That he has fol
some time past been a habitual drunkard, and
would often beg money and sometimes steal
it from his wife to buy whisky.
Friday morning he weat to his wife and
asked for ten cents. She refused, whereupon
he told her that he would drown himself. He
then went out from the house to put his
threat into execution, when his son followed
him about block behind.
He went to the levee to the ship Ex-
FOUNDER, and taking hold of the rope at the
stern slid down into the water and was
drowned before the son could reach the spot.
About a half an hour afterward his son re-
covered his body about twenty yards from
the spot where it had gone down.
The deceased was q cotton screwer by
trade, and leaves wife and family.
The Coroner held an inquest and returned
verdict that the deceased had come to his
death by drowning himself. The body was
then conveyed 70 his wifs's residence, 33 ST.
Marv street.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Dispatches have
been received at the Navy Department from
Capt. E. Simpson, commanding the United
States steamer Omaha, at Panama, detailing
at length the condition of aft .irs there as al
ready published in the press reports.
He says he did not request the American
Consul at Aspinwall to prohibit the landing of
the 500 rifles purchased for Bolivia, but on
the contrary, sent the Consul the following
dispatch:
"Consider whether it will be a proper act
for you to see that those arms are not allowed
to be diverted from their original destination; ;
or, if that can not be prevented, then consid-
er if you have not the power to prevent them
from being landed, subject to instructions
from Washington"
Subsequently a conference was held be-
tween Capt. Simpson and our Consul at As
pinwall, and it was decided that the Consul
had Go right to interfere with the landing Of
the arms, and this ended the question.
The Lighthouse Board gives notice that on
and after December lst, light will be shown
from the lighthouse recently built on Curri-
tuck Beach, North Carolina.
Changes in Internal Revenue Supervisors
have been made as follows: Supervisor Haw-
ley has been transferred from New York to
San Francisco, relieving Supervisor Foulke,
who is ordered to Richmond, and Supervisor
Sewall, now on duty at Richmond, is to per-
form duty at New York.

The cable on Saturday last brought the in
tellgence of the death of Charles Auguste
Frossard, one of the ablest generals in the
French army. He was born in 1907, and re-
ceived his education at the Polytechnic School
of Paris and the military school at Metz. He
entered the army in 1927, and had his first
service in the Belgian campaign of 1892.
He was promoted to captaincy in 1928, and
went to Algeria, weere he remained until
1916, returning with the rank of major. In
1919 he served at the siege of Rome in the
capacity of lieutenant-colonel. In 1852 he
was made colonel, and in 1856 brigadie-gen-
eral, prior to which time he had served in
the Crimean campaign. In 1858 he was made
general of division, and in 1859 served in the
Italian campaign. During the Franco Ger
man war he had command of the second
corps, aud made for himself a splendid repu.
tation in the battles of Saarbrucken, Spichern,
Courcelles, Mars-le- Tour and Gravelotte In
the retreat to Metz he and his corps were sur
rendered ito the Germans by Marshal Ba-
zaine. -Ecckanqe

THE SLAUGHTER-HOUSE WAR
The Butchers Apply to Judge
Woods for Relief.
A Restraining Order Wanted.

It now appears the battling butchers weary
of arrest, and habeas corpus arrest, and habeas
corpus again, have resolved to seek a new
forum in which to have their difficulties with
The Crescent City Live Stock Landing and
Slaughter-House Company determined.
Accordingly their attorneys have drafted o
the complaint of NJ Cougot ct ais, and pro-
pose at once applying to Judge Woods of the
United States District Court for restraining
order prohibiting the Slsughter.Hous Com
pany from interfering with them in their bust
ness as butchers. The allegations in the bill
bring up questions entirely new and not
covered by the former decision of the United
States Supreme Court.
A writ Of subpoena is prayed for, and also
a rule nisi on the company. for them to show
cause why an Injunction should not be issued
against the company, and pendente lite for a
restraining order.
This opens the Slaughter. House war again,
and it promises to wage once more with all
its old vigor.
The com planants, in their bill, set forth as
one ground for relief that the statute incor-
porating the Slaughter House Company made
that corporation the agent of the State for
the location of an abdttoir; that in pursuance
of this delegation of power the company pro-
ceeded 10 select site on the other side of the
river to build stables and slaughter pens and
to kill cattle. This location they claim made
this place irrevocably, except through legisla-
tive enactment, the place, and the only place
where cattle could be slaughtered for the New
Orleans markets.
They now claim that the subsequent re-
moval OF the company's buildings and bust
ness to the Cavaroc place on this side of the
river, was violation of the statute, and a.
lege that they have perfect right to slaughter
animals on the former site under the law.
1t is stated by the butchers that animals
killed on this side have to be hauled some
four miles over rough roads to get to market,
and are seriously damaged thereby, when on
the other hand when they are killed over the
river, the Morgan ferry takes them direct to
French Market. They say this is a saving OF
fully ten per cent.

eral to-day telegraphed to Gov. Ames request
ing information regarding the present condi-
ton of affairs in the recently reported dis
turoed portions of Mississippi, and is now
expecting a reply.

telegram of this date to Gov. Ames, and de-
laying the proposed conference until after a

THE CODE.

ID. Patton and VIM. Shelhouse, both very
young men, were arrested Friday morning on
a warrant from the Second Municipal Police
Court, issued on an affidavit charging them
with the intention of fighting duel.
The immediate cause of the contemplated
rencontre was an attempted horse-whipping
of Patton by Shelhcuse, for some alleged
grievance, which both parties refuse to make
known.
The attempt came very near terminating
disastrousI for Shelhouse. He had his re-
volver convenient, but the butt was displayed,
and Patton during the scutfie caught it, and
pulling it from the BODY of Shellhouse, slip
ped back and fired twice, but without effect.
The parties will be placed under bonds to
keep the peace.

THE TWO SONGS.

When love was young, at frightening morn,
While high above the following corn
The glad lark shrilled, to her whose eyes
Seemed homes Of radiant ecstacies
sang. The glory Of the time
Bang through the notes and ruled the rhyme
The rapture of the sun-kissed rose,
When bud-bound petals first unclose,
Spake from my lips afire from those
Whose sweetness thrilled my spirit through,
And the songs jubiant music knew
Joys impulse in each soaring strain,
Each cadence low, each glad refrain.
turned. Those eyes looked praise, and yet
Some shade of fear or faint regret,
Like thin cloud DER sunlit stream,
lowered a moment and was gone.
All! is it that dawn's daring dream
Each soul must shape alone?
Sweet the caress that guerdon gave
For that glad song Can shadows start
Beneath joys sum- or passion crave
Yet closer clasp than heart to heart?
The night was young, the night birds trill
Shook softller than far-hear lutte
From that gray copse beneath the hill,
And then was mute
Her head clasped close above my heart,
l sang-for that the words would Start
From laden lips-a song as low
AS Springs first streamlets timid flow;
Low, yet as happy as the tears
Which fall unchecked from shining eyes,
When hope, outlasting sunderlng yesrs,
Att4ins it's paradise.
Whispers of trees, when storms have fed,
Bear such sweet burden odors shed
By rain-washed roses through the night
! Breathe such serene and sure delighti
As this my song. might not see
Her eyes in that leafcumhered place,
But closlier drew her tender face
And pressed her heart to me;
md fhrnt1 rrb fhn Gil md hn dcrl
There came gladness that the lark
Hath not a cong for. Love that lives
Through sorrow such deliverance gives
From fear, its shadow may not start
To chill the clasp Of heart to heart.
