The subioined table gives the readings
OF the thermometer, the course OF the

lieyed that no better situation for observa-

! The Democratic voters OF Richmond arc
at last aroused, and are paying up the
| poll-taX in great numbers. Yesterday scy.
/ eral ladies came to Mr.. Jinkins's office and
paid the tax for sons and husbands.
The delinquent list may be seen at the
D2niel-Club headquarters, or at the Hus.
tings Court, or at Democratic headquar-
ters. There are still considerably over
1900 whites delinquent. That number
must be reduced. and reduced at once.
See that you have paid. See that yom
friends have paid. Sec that your en-
ployes have paid. This is the duty OF the
hour.
Pay.
The night before election the Democrats
will have a great rally on the City-Hall lot.
and while il cannot now be announced
with certainty, it is believed that Major
Daniel will be here and speak.
Receipts signed by Andrew Jinkins or
his deputy, or by Assistant Treasurer 5. G..
Tinsley or his deputies, win be good at the
polls. The names OF those who paid the
poll-tax prior to September 1st will appear
on the printed certified list. But TO save
time aud trouble every Democratic voter
IS urged to look up lis receipt for 1889,
and take the same with him to the polls.
Look up your receipt.

A UNITED STATES MARsHAL WOUNDED
BY AN IRATE BULL.-Charles p. Ransdell,
Esq, United States marshal for the Eastern
District OF Virginia, resides in Chesterfield
county not far from the Halfway House,
where he conducts farmingo on an improved
scale, and has, in addition, much stock
some Of blo0ded race and rare pedigree
which, from their superior excellence,
have been the envy and admiration OF
his neighbors. On Monday a sudden
lit Of fury seized his fayorite Jersey bull
Nicnac while the Colonel was gathering it
ana Others IN preparatory 10 the feeding
and housing usual each evening. When
being driven up the irate bovine attacked
the Colonel, knocking him down, attempt
ed to thrust his horns into the PROSTATE
form, and inflicted serious bruises about
the head, face, and body Of the powerless
gentleman. His daughter, by the exercise
OF mole than wOmanly fortitudc aud most
determined action, succeeded in driving
the animal away, when Colonel Ramsdell
was conveyed to his residence and physi-
clan was summoned.
Colonel Nye, deputy United States mar
shal, left the city yesterday morning for
Colonel Ramsdell's residence, and upon
his return in the afternoon brought the
intelligence that the Colonc's
injuries, while extremely painful, were not
as serious ~ at first supposed.

A PLAN FOR A CITY HALL.-Wc begin ia
see in the dim future a chance for city
hall. At meeting Of the Council Com
mittee on Public Grounds and Buildings
some time since subcommittee was APP
pointed to prepare plans, &c. Since that
time some OF the members have been ac-
lively at work. We on Yesterday had the
pleasure OF seeing the good results Of work
performed. 1t was in the shape OF very
beautiful colored drawing Of a fine and i'm
posing building-the city hall OF Quincy,
IllinOis-and was exposed to view IN the
window OF hlr. Andrew Pizzini, who has
been very active in the matter.
The architect was j. :. McKeOn, OF Chi
cago. The contract price was e2lS,250,
but changes in the plans, furniture, &c,
made it when completed cost t257,500.
The foundation was commenced May,
1876, and the building was delivered to the
city authorities in July, 1877.
The drawing has attracted large crowds,
showing that the people are interested in
the undertaking.
The dimensions Of the building arc rs
follows: Length, 10 feet; width, l0j feet
Il Is four stories high, with steeple lGG
feet. The material used is sandstone. A
hulillilE Vi NlllilNl NllitiEa'l1 Ahh D'
erected here Of granite and furnished and
appointed for S257, 800. 1t is understood
that "A contract can be closed at the above
price.
1t is also said that the city can acquire,
by purchase at a reasonable price, that por-
tion OF the City Hall square now occupied
by the First Presbyterian church and the
residence OF DR.. TupPer This would
give room for building ample for the ac-
commodation OF all departments Of the city
government.
Auditor Royster has prepared financial
