striking a third blow at the animal,
ana was carried out by his servants.
Inc entertainment proceeded under his
brothers direction. The second bull
had already killed two horses before in
Jurlng Frascuelo, and was ultimately
Killed himself. Four other bulls were
also killed in succession. After many
failures the people hOoted the torrea-
doris and threatened to i'll treat them.
Ten horses in all were killed. The fight
caused the public who witnessed it to
sicken with horror, although the
taste Tor such spectacles is stronger
there han in any other part Of France.
1t took place in the old Roman amphi-
theatre, which was crowded with sight
seers from most Of the southern towns,
who were brought by excursion trains.
Frascuelo was badly wounded. He
was thrice pierced in the thigh by a
bull which had just disemboweiled
a horse, His brother Francisco
took his place and slew the
animal. One Of the bulls flung
a picad0r over the bounds of the
arena. Seven horses were ripped open.
The ground was covered with blood
and the entrails Of the slaughtered ami
mails. The prefect who authorized the
spectacle was so sickened that he had
to leave at the death Of the fourth
bull. The general opinion blames him
for having granted the authorization.
Such a'butchery has never in modern
times been witnessed in French place
Of public amusement.

Letters Which are to be Delivered as soon as
They Arrive at the PostOfheo.
Postmaster Cullingworth has re-
ceiyed instructions from the Post
Office Department at Washington to
establish the immediate-deliyery service
at his Office on October lst.
This service requires that all spe-
cial-deliyery letters shall reach their
addresses with the greatest possible ex-
petition after the letters arrive at the
post-ofiice. The postmaster will be re-
quired to have all mails opened at once
upon their arrival, and separate the
letters bearing special-deliyery stamps,
and put on the receiving stamp Of the
office, showing name of the Office and
date and hour of the letters arrival.
After these letters have been properly
entered in the record-book they will he
turned over to the messenger-b boys, who
will be dispatched with all possible
haste so that not moment shall be
lost from the time the mailbag is
opened which could be employed to
hasten the letter to the address. Like
diligent attention is to be given to drop
letters bearing special-delIyery stamps
from the time they are deposited in the
post-oilce.
The postmaster has been also in
structed to provide, before the lst of
October next, and from time to time
thereafter, as many messepger-boys as
in his judgment will be necessary to
secure prompt delivery of Specialize
livery letters. A suitable force must
be on hand at all times to secure imme-
diatc delivery. A special place will be
provided in the pOst-oilice for the accom-
mediation Of these messengers. Each
messenger will be provided with a
deliyery-book. in which will be entered
the number and address of each. If a
letter bearing Special-deliyery stamp is
directed to an address one mile from
the post. such letters need not be Spe-
cially delivered unless the delivery can
be made to the person addressed with
in the limits.
These special messengers are to re-
cciye from the Government eight cents
letter for delivering them; provided,
however, the salary Of no messenger
shall exceed $50 per month.

A Gard from Colonel Evans.

hltHbOND, August -, 1000.
Gentlemen : In your paper Of this
morning | am announced by the COM
mittee Of this congressional district as
one Of the canyasserS for the city Of
Richmond in the approaching election.
This announcement was made without
my knowledge or consent. DO not
complain Of this action Of the commit
tee. Doubtless the gentlemen of the
committee. having in mind the active
part which have taken in politics for
the past two years, supposed that
would again take part in the present
canvass. thank them for the com
pllment, but it is due to them and to
myself TO say that must decline the
position. My professional and official
engagements are such as to render it
impossible for me to accept the service,
which would otherwise be a most plea
SAINT duty.
In this connection allow me to say
that i will not be candidate for re-
election TO the House of Delegates.
Several Of my friends have called on me
and expressed their satisfaction with
my services in the last session Of the
General Assembly, and requested me
to serve again. To them and others OF
my fellow-citizens who agree with them
| return my sincere thanks. And to
the people of Richmond who have re-
posed confidence in me in various ways
| return thanks, and shall ever be
grateful. Respectfully,
THOMAS j. EVANS.

KILLED BYA GARDEN THEE.
4 Farmer's son Murdered Near the City Of
Montreal.

a EaFmers son Murdered Near the CitY OF
Montreal.
4 Montreal special says: 4 foul
murder was committed Yesterday after
noon on farm at Nerdun. two miles
from this city. The farmers in this
vicinity experience great trouble at this
season Of the year from gangs Of roughs,
who daily prowl around their farms,
committing depredations to the crops.
These roughs have been very trouble
some. the police having received nume-
rous reports of their crimes. but As the
place is not in the jurisdiction Of the
city police and the Government does
not take the trouble Of watching the
locality. the garden thieves, as they are
called, have become more daring and
defiant.
About 3 o'clock Yesterday afternoon
William Monteith had just returned
from the city, when he saw four ma
rauders in 4 garden attached to his
fathers farm. Going toward them, he
saw in a basket which one Of them car
ried a quantity Of cherries and other
fruit, which he charged them with
stealing from the farm. He ordered
them to leave the basket and go Off the
grounds. They refused, and a few
sharp words followed, when one Of the
four ruflians, who carried a double
barrelled fowling-piece, stepped for
ward and struck William a crushing
blow on the head with the butt Of his
gun. The poor fellow reeled for few Sc
conds under the terrible blow, and then
fell to the ground insensible. This all
occurred in the course of few seconds
and in sight Of the young mans father
and two brothers. who rushed with hay
forks to his assistance. The man with
the gun knocked another Of the bro
theirs, named Richard, insensible. and
was running off when John, a younger
brother, captured him. The murderer
called on his chums to save him, when
one Of them dashed toward young
Monteith with a butchers knife. Upon
Monteith releasing his prisoner 10 save
his own life the cowardly villain dropped
the knife and made of, followed by the
others, leaving the gun, basket, fruit.
and knife behind them.
Richard soon recovered. but Will
liam died few hours afterward. Some
idea Of the force Of the blow dealt can
be estimated from the fact that the
back of the gun was broken of as well
as the butt, while the barrels were
broken and bent near the lock. The
murdered man was highly respected,
and his parents are almost frantic with
grief. The whole detective force Of the
city is engaged in hunting the mur-
derers down, and arrests are expected
before tomorrow morning.
