ALpHEUs BULL DROWNED.
He Falls from the Breakwater at Fort
Point from Weakness.


SAN FRANCISCO, May 10Th. = Alpheus
Bull ,Sr., Vice-President of the Firemen s
Fund Insurance Company, and one of the
best known business men in San Francisco.
was drowned this morning near Fort Point.
The manner of his death is not exactly
known, but there can be no doubt of its
being an accident
For number of years Mr. Bull has been
in the habit of driving every morning. As
usual, this morning he took his tide, going
out through the Preside. 10 Fort Point 1t
has been his custom, when near the beach
to get out of the carriage and walk slowly
along by the waters edge until he was
fatlgued, when he would regain his seat in
the vehicle When at Fort Point this
morning, about 10 o'clock, he, as usual,
alighted and walked along the breakwater,
telling the coachman to drive on ahead
The driver did as he was bid but after
considerable time he began TO wonder
what had become Of Mr.. Bull, who seemed
to be taking very long walk. So he
turned his team around, and driving slowly
baek, kept g sharp lookout for his EN-
ployer. He failed TO see him, however,
and notified some soldiers whom he met of
the disappearance.
a search was instantly commenced.
which resulted in the discovery of Mr..
Bulls body lying on the beach. 1t was
carried to place out of reach of the water
and an effort at resuscitation made, but
with no good result. The coachman then
notified the son of the deceased, Alpheus
Bull, Jr., and President Staples of the
Fireman's Fund. Both proceeded to Fort
Point Immediately. After their arrival
the case was reported to the Morgue.
For the past twenty-five years Mr.. Bull
has been an acute sufferer with asthma
Recently he had very severe attack of
the disease and was very weak. He had
been unable until yesterday to visit his
office, and when he did so then his in
trinity was very noticeable 10 the clerks.
1t was supposed that he was seized with
paroxysm of coughing while walking on
the breakwater and that his strength hav-
ing been exhausted he fell into the water
and was drowned.

Mr.. Carlisle as a Jugeler.

Congressman Cannon, Chairman of
the House Committee on Appropriations,
makes short work Of ex-Speaker Car
isles exhibit of figures arranged to
ready largely in excess Of revenues, aud
that a heavy deficit must soon follow.
Mr.. Carlisle took q thoroughly partisan
and unscrupulous way of getting q false
statement Eefore the country. He took
the estimates of expenses as made by the
administration and compared them with
the probable revenues. carefully emitting
the $65, 900, 900 which is to come from
postal service receipts. He did not fail
to count the cost of the postal service on
the debtor side of the account, but by re-
fusing to give credit for the revenues GER
tain to be earned he forced q false bal
ance and attempted to deceive the coun-
try with 1t. His endeavor to juggle with
the pension bills and misrepresent their
character was equally discreditable. In
parading dishonest, distorted statements
before the public Carlisle forfeits all
claim to the character of II statesman and
shows himself prejudiced partisan who
hates the National Republican party and
it's doctrines aud wants to discredit it
irrespective of the truth of n state-
ments he may make. Hereafterthe pub
lie will regard statements coming from
Carlisle with susp' cion and give them
no weight until Notifications are pro-
duced. To take his word for anything
touching his political opponents would
be unwise.- E.rchanOc.

LIKE those of older countries, Ameri-
can cities are becoming congested.
They are growing outward and inward
on two ever-diverging lines; the rich
are growing richer and the poor poorer.
The criminal and the needy are being
shut up in their slums, and the wealthy
are walking about in their distinctive
quarter. Recreation is drawing away
from the %toilers, leaving them a life
without relaxation. A man may now
die in an attic in many an American
city and none know who he is-or care.
The old-fashioned town, where every
householder was his own landlord, is
now the rarity, not the rule. In q score
or more cities which could be named,
"free soup" is v and again announced.
for the ~people.-ay, even "free bread"
It matters not that the benefactor may
be seeking election or local influence;
his acts surely indicate the state Of
things below the surface. The utmost
squalid wretchedness, streets upon
streets where life is only CRIME, dark
dens reeking with the stencil of dis
ease and uncleanness, the sweaters
rookeries-all these are established
features in the large cities of America,
and are the more striking because quite
unlocked for. The cause is obvious
enough: a wholesale immigration of
toilers who cling to crowded marts;
steady inflow, from the rural districts,
of young men and women who are al
lured by city pleasures; the influence Of
the press which naturally magnifies the
opportunities Of great cities, to the dis
advantage of rural life. And yet it is
only in the country that work and con-
sequent happiness is surely to be found.
If q small percentage of workers na-
tives and foreign, would but migrate to
green fields and become agricultural
laborers, rather than fight against over
whelming competition in city markets,
the avenues Of industry might be
cleared aud elbow room found for all.
