numbers of people in buggies and on

the mills had shut down during the
afternoon in order to allow the men
to half days amusement.

RUNNING RACE.

RUNNING RACE.
There were only three entries for
the running race. Dick Morgan was
lame and May Marshall's rider re-
fused to ride with weight, and was
expelled from the circuit. A rider
could not be obtained for her.
In the first heat, Lizzie Danger lead
for the first half mile, Grace being
close behind and Jennie G. bringing
up the rear. When near the three
quarter post, Jennie clapped on more
sail and shot ahead, winning the heat
about half a length ahead, in 1:55i,
with Lizzie Danger second, and Grace
third.
Second heat. The start for this
heat was the finest Of the day. All
three horses started even and kept
close together for about a quarter of
a mile. When near the quarter pole
the rider of Lizzie Danger thought
Grace was unnecessarily crowding
him, and he applied his whip rather
vigorously to the back of the rider
of Grace. When the half mile post
was passed, Grace and Lizzie Danger
were about neck and neck, with Jen-
ME G. short distance behind, but
when near the thrce-quarter post, she
let out few reefs, shot by the two
horses ahead, and won the heat about
half length ahead, the time being
1:574.
Lizzie Danger,
Grace,
Time l:j5h l:5719
The weather during both days was
very favorable, and the races, taken
altogether, were very satisfactory to
every one except those who had bet
on the wrong horses. The betting
was lively, and the pool sellers did II
brisk business. Hundreds of dollars
changed hands, and Il good many per-
SONS, if they are not wiser, are some
what poorer.
The outsiders, who came to town
expecting to reap rich harvest, did
not do quiet as well as they antici-
pated during the two days races, but
from all accounts, OH the race be-
tween Walter Jones, Norris Bashaw
and Coleman, last Saturday, they sue
ceeded in reaping rich harvest.
The pools, the right before the Satur-
day race, had been selling lively at
five dollars OH Walter Jones, and two
dollars each on Coleman and Norris
Bashaw. The latter horse won the
race, and the result of the race caused
considerable indignation, judging from
remarks made Saturday night.

A fire in the dwelling house Of Mr..
Green, Oh River street. near engine
house No. /, was the cause of the hose
companies being turned out last Sum
day. The fire was near the stove pipe
in the back part of the house, but
not serious enough to require water to
be thrown by the hose companies.
AS No. 1 was unreeling their hose it
got entangled in the wheel and one Of
the couplings was pulled off. No. 2
hose company reached the fire in a
little over four minutes after the
alarm was given, which is very good
time, considering the distance they
had to 60 and that it was dinner time.

Last Thursday night the Canadian
propeller Glenfnlas, of Hamilton,
when abreast Thunder Bay Island
lighthouse, became disabled on ac-
count of the breaking of some of her
machinery. At that time there was a
heavy sea running, and the propeller
being unmanagable, there was consid-
cradle danger of her laundering. Her
situation was soon discovered by the
life saving crew, and Captain Persons,
with the life boat and crew, went to
her assistance. For some seven or
eight hours the life boat continued in
the vicinity of the disabled propeller,
ready to render help if it should be
needed. The propeller however, man.
aged to weather the storm, and in the
morning the life boat was dispatched
to this city for help. The steamer
Golden Eagle was engaged and sent
out to the propeller and towed her to
this port, where repairs are being made,
The Glenfnlas was loaded with rail.

left it right in the middle of the floor.
''Well, when I looked at the layout and
heard pa snoring I thought that L should
die. You see, ma is easily excited. My
chum slept with me that night, and when
we heard the door-bell ring J. stuffed a
pillow in my mouth. There was no one
to meet ma at the depot, and she hired a
hack and came right up. Nobody heard
the bell but me, and had to go down and
let ma in. She was pretty angry. you bet,
at not being met at the depot"
"Where.s your father?" said she, as she
began to go up stairs. Il told her I
guessed pa had gone to sleep by this time,
and that he'd gone to bed an hour ago.
Then slipped up stairs and looked over
the banaisters. Ma said something about
heaven and earth, and where is the huzzy,
and lot of things I could not hear; and
pa swcre and said it's no such a thing, and
the door slammed, and they talked for two
hours.''
II s'pose they finally laid it to me, as
they always do, cause pa called me very
early this morning, and when came down
stairs he hurt my feeliuuS / see thew had
my chum's sisters clothes all pinned up in

makers wax and stick my chum on my

berries in a case in front of the store, and
went down the street whistiing for his
chum, who was looking out of an alley to
see if the coast was clear.

BULLY FOR BILLSON.

The Board of Canvassers Declare Him
Duly Elected to the State Sen tea Long
WranGle Over the Admission of the Votes
of Cass and Ita,ca Counties.
Special Telegram to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 2.-The Legislative
board of canvassers met in the court house
this forenoon to canvass the vote for state
senator and representatives. There were
present the county auditors of st. Louis
w. Thompson, of Crow Wing, who is also
auditor of Cass and Itasca, besides two
justices of the peace and the judge. A large
number of citizens were also present,
anxious to hear the result of the canvass.
Messrs. Ensign, Wilson and D. G.. Cash at
tended to expound the law. As soon as
the board WIS ready to organize
the question was raised as to
Frank Thompson's right to membership
on it, Cash and Ensign argued against it
and Billson for it, when Hankins, of Carl
ton, suddenly asked by what right outsid-
ers were discussing the membership of the
board. It was for themselves to decide,
and they were not obliged to hear argu-
ments from spectators. Their duty was to
canvass the returns.
Thompson said he had acted as auditor
OF the two counties Cor six years, and his
right to canvass the election returns was
never before disputed. and even in the
present election the state board of can
vassers had recognized him without hest
tation. He ended the discussion by NOV
ing that the board proceed to business,
which resolution was unanimously adopt
ed. The count thus proceeded un-
til the votes of the two
counties came up again.
when Mr.. Ensign presented written pro-
test against their admission on the grounds
of alleged frauds. Here another wrangle
ensued. Cash and Mitchell, of the Tribune
instructed the board what to do. The
board finally got mad at the bulldozing
tactics of these gentlemen, and taking the
bit in their own mouths decided by 4 to
that the vote should be admitted. This
ended the matter, and Billson and Parker
were declared duly elected amid the plau-
dts of the spectators. This will probably
end the efforts of the bulldozing clique to
override the will of the people, as it is
not probable that the defeated candidates
will be foolish enough to contest the seats
at the risk of having to hammer their heels
on the outer walls of the state house all
winter,

Terrible Winding Up to a Rural Merry
Making.
Mobile Register.)
Information was received here of curl
Gus as we'll as sensational suicide which
took place Thursday at Buckatunna, sta
ton on the Mobile & Ohio road, in Wayne
county, Mississippi:
T. A. Cox, a young man employed as
bookkeeper by Mr.. D. Smith, merchant
of Buckatunna, attended party in the
neighborhood Thursday, and danced with
the young ladies until midnight. He re-
marked once or twice to his partners in the
dance that he would die that night after
the dancing was concluded.
About l o'clock, when the participants
in the entertainment we're getting ready to
| 20 home, yonng Cox called their attention
to the way he had arranged the chairs
around the room, and how he had placed
one chair in the center and covered it with
a shawl. He requested the LADIES to be
seated. One of the ladies took the center
seat, but he asked her to seat. herself else.
where, as that particular chair was re.
served for himself.
After all had taken their places, he seat
ed himself in the center, and, placing his
hand in the bosom of his coat, remarked
that he would certainly die before day, and
desired the present witnesses to stay with
him until the end was reached. He said
he had been raised we'll by his mother,wh
had sent him to Sunday school and tried
to make good Christian of him, but, il
spite of her care, he had strayed from the
paths of duty, and could never face hi
mother again. He then drew q pistol from
an inside pocket, and saying: 'This never
falls" placed the muzzle against his cal
and fired. The spectators were taken &c
entirely by surprise that they could max,
no movement to prevent the rash act, and
it was not until his hand dropped into hi
lap and the pistol fell TO the floor that the,
fully realized the horrible deed which had
been committed. When the gentlemen
rushed to the center of the room, the,
found the young man dead.
It appears that Cox posted his books tn,
day before and made q full and correct &C
count to his employer. The coroner hell
the inquest and turned tho body over t,
Mr.. Smith. The latter provided caske
and paid all the expenses of preparing ant
shipping the remains to the suicide
mother, who lives up on the Montgomer,
railroad.

and uncle. found a new rendering last Sun
day at house On Frenchman street, be-
tween Morales and Goodchildren streets.
GORDON Joseph, an elderly quadroon, has
been married twenty years to Celestine
Ricand. For some reason they quarreled
at the breakfast table on Saturday. About
10 o'clock in the forenoon Joseph walked
into the kitchen and observed kottle of
water on the stove, boiling hot. Although
it was ali unusual hour, the dishes being
washed and put away, he did not ask what
she was about, but, feeling sleepy, laid
himself down on the gallery for siesta.
He placed his hat over his face to
protect it from the flies and
his eyes from the light, and was
soon snoring quite comfortably, his left
ear uppermost. Celestine was waiting for
this opportunity, and soon as she was salts
fed that Joseph was sound asleep she step
ped lightly into the kitchen and took the
kettle OF boiling water off the stove. On
tiptoe she crept back to the gallery on
which her husband was asleep, and holding
the spout III such position thst the hot
water would run into his ear, she tilted the
kettle. Her hand was unsteady, and few
drops fell, out of the spout and on Joseph's
face. With yell of anguish he awoke,
and then Celestine elevated the kettle, the
,scalding water falling on tho neck and
back OF joseph's head, scalding him ter
ribly. He gained his feet and seized the
woman, but she kept him from injuring
her by pouring the water on his left leg
and feet The agony was more than
Joseph could bear, and he released her and
she escaped. Since then the couple have
been dodging each otheri in various parts
of the city.
