committed suicide in The James river. He
walked out TO the pierhead Of the wharf,

jumped into the river at point where the
water was deepest. Persons on the wharf
seeing That he was drowning. got a rope
around him and drew him into shallow

got loose again, and, wading out some yards
further in the stream, put his head beneath
the surface and kept it there until he
drowned.

THE MARE THAT BEAT "THE MAID"
Toledo Commercial.
Something Of breeze has resulted from
the races Of Buffalo Park Just closed
in remarkable trOaing time
claimed TO be made by. a hitherto
unknown mare, Lulu, which ''Cleaned OUT
the entire entries in the ''free-tO-ailn race
for $4,000 purse. The tire claimed is 2:15,
made in the third heat, and said to be the
second fastestiOn record Lulu IS owned by
Joseph Harker, of Rochester where she
last year made 2:l65 - bred by Col. Crock
EFT, Of Georgetown, KY, with this pedigree:
She is pure thoroughbred, sired by AiexAn-
ander's Herman, he by the Moss horse;
dam by imported Horton. She is eleven
years old, fifteen hands one inch high,
and deep bay color. As a consequence
hOrsemen are excited, but her age doubt
less will keep the animal from winning
great laurels further.
