his team ran away throwing him violently
upon the ground, cutting off entirely his
right ear and otherwise injuring his head
He appeared to be well and possessed of
his right mind until two weeks ago, when a
favorite horse died and he began To appear
respondent; said he did not care TO live. and
expressed fear lest his family should become
extremely poor and all would starve to
death. His ending his career by suicide Is
attributed to these things by his family.

GEN. BOULANGER OFFENDED.
An Affair at Tunis that May Cause
Diplomatic Complications.

TUSIs, June THE European cOmmun-
ity here has been thrown into excitement by
a sensational incident that may lead to po-
litical complications. On Tuesday evenin <
an Italian slapped the face of a lieutenant of
Chasseurs a. they were coming out of the
theater, where an Italian opera bouffe com
pany had evoked hisses from the French pOr-
tion of the audience by innuendOs calculated
to wound their patriotic sensibllities. The
Italian was arrested and condemned to SIX
days Imprisonment. Gen. Boulanger,
dashing but perhaps somewhat hOt-headed
young officer, took offense at the hghtness
of the sentence and complained of the YER
dict to the Minister or War. He also decided
TO punish the officer whose face had been
slapped, in case the inquiry should show
that he might have made use of his
sword. General Boulanger then wrote an
order of the day commencing all officers
in future, on the least provOcation from Jews
or Italians, to draw their swords, since the
French were no longer protected by law
against such attacks. The theatre has been
closed In consequence of the trouble. The
procureur general called upon Gen. Bou-
langer to inform him that he had appealed
against the inadequate verdict of the court,
and the prisoner would meanwhile be trans
ferred to Algiers. A crowd of Jews and
Italians collected and applauded the prisoner
a he was put into the train leaving Al
giers. Two other Italians have been ar
rested. Owing to earnest solicitations aud
out of regard to the fact of an appeal from
the Judgment, Gen. Boulauger consented to
modify some OF the harshest expressions of
his order. Gen. Boulanger Is the young
officer who went TO America with the Mar
quis de Lafayette and the Marquis de ROch
ambeau at the time of the Yorktown celt-
bration. He was very popular in America,
but Il evidently more remarkable Tor
soldierly dash than for calm craftsmanship.

a Ooleful Sound About the Future of

ATLANTA, June 3.-The Erening Journal
to-day publishes an interview with ex- Senator
Robert Toombs on the future of the negro.
They are bis views "a they would have been

bad health prevented the preparation of an
article for that periodical.
He says that his speech on slavery in Ire

was then, and will be for all time. The
negro race Is an inferior race. He was

make him inferior to the white man he

MUSkEGON CAPTURED.
The Sawdust City in Possession of
Thousand ExcursionIsts.


Nearly a thousand people went with the
Independent Social club on their excursion
to Mnskegon yesterday. The train consist
ed of ten coaches, and baggage car with
obliged to stand on the platforms. The wealth
er was all that could be desired until about
O'Clock when a violent wind and rain storm
struck the city and made ii rather unpleas-
ant for four or five hundred who were caught
on the picnic grounds, especially so with the
ladies who wore white dresses. The picnic
grounds and beer garden on the north side
of the lake were opened expressly for the &C
commodation of the visitors and were visit
ed not only by the excursionists, but by
large numbers of Muskegon people. A
bowery dance was one of the attractions and
lager beer flowed freely. The facilities
for crossing the lake-only one little steam
er-are not sufficient for so large crowd
and many were not able to get over until
late in the day. The excursiOnists decided
that Muskegon Is a great town for lumber
but not very desirable place TO visit on an
excursion. The train left Muskegon at $50
and arrived here at l2:l5 last night with a
very tired and disconsolate looking lot of
people who declared they had good time,
but said they thought that all day and half
the night was rather too much of a good
thing
Only about car load went on the regular
Sunday train TO Macatawa Park. People
seemed to be inclined to get as much as
possible for their dollar so they went to
Muskegon. 1t Is safe to say that those who
went to the Park had the most enjoyable
trip and are in much better spiritsfhis morn
