that the property had greatly
deprecated Ia value since the removal Of
the street markets to King and
Madison streets aud would not now rent
for half it did eight years ago. After
some discussion the question on the reso-
luton was put There were two or three
grunts for AYE" and about the same
number for may The chairman said
it was difficult to make a decision on
such q weak vote.

value. The motion to adopt the resolu
ton was lost.
Chief Engineer Robinson OF the Fire
Department appeared and complained to
MIR. Hickman that the Third street
bridge had been turned off since Sunday
without any notice to the department,
He asked that the necessary repairs be
made at once or something done to have
the bridge turned on. If this could not
be done he requested that some notice be
given rs to when traffic could be re-
sumed over the bridge. as 1t is now caus

Norman Bull Commits Suicide Because
OF Unrequited Affection
Norman Bull committed suicide by
shooting himself at his boarding house
No 405 East Ninth street last evening
The weapon used was a double barreled
breach loading shot gun, and the place
selected was his own bedroom. He had

OF mind, the effect 1t is said, Of unre
quilted love Three months ago he went
to board at the house of William Crowd
ing, and occupied the room with his
twin brother Norris. The other occu
pants of the house were William Crowd
ing, his wife and four daughters.
Bull was of steady disposition, but
he became acquainted with a young
woman with whom he fell vioently in
love He pressed his suit with ardor,
but alas, for the psrversity Of human
nature the fire was all on one side.
When he saw that his affection was NOT
reciprocated be grew melancholy and
became utterly respondent. His dr. o0p-
ing spirits had been observed for a short
time both by his brother and the Crowd
ing family, and vain attempts made to
rally him He had been employed in the
Malleable Iron Works, but yesterday
morning be remained at his boarding
house instead Of going to work. During
part of the afternoon he remained in The
back yard shooting with an air rifle, in
company with Mr.. Orowdiugs daughter
Florence. At length he grew tired of that
kind OF shooting and said he was going
up TO his room. He went up and few
minutes later the Crowdings were
startled by q loud report from gun in
the house Miss Florence Crowding
rushed up stairs and discovered Bull
weltering in his blood. The young
woman uttered a shrek ana rushed
down stairs. The household was alarmed
and IRIS. Morgan and Downs we're imme
dlately notified. When they arrived Bull
was still living but unconscious. He died
at 6 80 o'clock without speaking q word
The young woman upon whom Bull
lavished such affection lives somewhere
about the suberbs of this city. Her
name is known only to few and they
will not divulge, il as they assert she was
not responsible for his mad infatuation.
Bull was % years old, and came origi.
