Another tragedy was enacted in Al
lanta yesterday, and Eugene II. PratLer
has appeared before his fellow man for
the last time.
1t was the same old story Of di:sipa-
ton, despair and suicide.
At > o'clock yesterday evening Officers
Jolly, Whatlcy and Etheridge found Eu
gene PIather in the back part of a bar
room at the corner Of Decatur and Cal.
houu streets in an unconscious condition.
He was carried to the station house at
once and medical assistance summoned.
DIR. Ralph Smith responded, and made
every effort to save the unfortunate mans
life, but gave up the struggle, and at S
o'clock Prather Was dead.
Some time before he was discovered he
had taken an ounce of laudanum, and
the drug had taken such hold upon his
system that all efforts to eradicate it
proved fruitless.
Numerous acquaintances of the man
gathered around him and slapped and
rubbed him for three hours, but for all
the effect it had the body before them
might have been stone. Not even for an
instant did he show signs Of conscious
ness, and the end came so quietly that
those nearest hardly knew when the end
had come.
Eugene II. Prather was about twenty
seven years old, printer by trade. and
native Of Williamson, S. c., where his
mother lives to-day, the matron of the
Williamson Female school. He was of
good family and universally liked
where he came from. He was hard
drinker and that eventually proved his
ruin and caused his death.
He had been in Atlanta for about two
weeks, and in that time had done little
work, spending most of his time in dissi-
patton. 1t is supposed that when he dis
covered his money was all gone, he grew
respondent and took the step which
ended his life.
This morning Prather was in CONVEX
sation with friend, and seemed to be
very gloomy. One of his remarks in the
light of after developments was striking.
Turning to his friend he said "Od man,
will you put up so cents towards my
funeral expenses if l die soon?"
4 few hours after making that remark
he was dead.
He left no letter that gave reason for
his rash act. A telegram was found in
his pocket addressed to A. Z. Williams,
tue editor of the Greenville, S. c., Nc~s.
1t read: "Is there any help for me
Se..d 10 Keeley Institute"
His friends believe that Prather's
friends in Greenville made up purse to
send him to the Keely Institute, and that
when he got TO Atlanta his appetite for
whisky got the better of him, and he
spent all the money and found it impos-
sible to take the course Of treatment. He
thea wrote the message to Mr.. Williams,
intending to ask for more help, and to
have the money sent direct to the Insti-
tute, not being willing to trust himself
with it, but despair got the better OF him,
and he ended the struggle by suicide.
1t is a pitiful story at best, and his
death will doubtless be great shock to
his friends in South Carolina.
Wylie & Barclay have charge of the
body, awaiting orders for its disposition
from the friends of Prather, who have
been notified of his death.
The corouer will hold an inquest over
the body at u'clock this morning.

!! Grral Bull Fight III The City of IieX-
leo.


CITY oF MENlco, Oct. 20.-The revi-
val of bull fighting in the City Of Mex
leo sunday was in the name Of Char
i;y. 4 committee Of ladies Of this capi-
tai, with Mrs. Diaz, wife OF the presi-
dent, at their head organized it for the
benefit oftha sufferers from the foods in
Spain. II was one Of the greatest spec
tacles ofthe Mexican national sport ever
witnessed on the North American cOnti-
uent.
The time Sc. was $50 in the afternoon.
For an hour previous, San Francisco
street, the Avinda Juarezand the Pas Eo
De La Reforma presented most ani>
mated scene. Carriages of every degree
from the landaIs OF ministers aud sena-
tors, with cockadcs aid liveries, down TO
the commoncst hacks, jostled together on
the way to the bnli fight. a stream of
pedestrians bent on the same errand filled
the side walks, while from balconies and
house tops thousands watched the passing
thEoDg. At the Plaza de Torres people
came from every direction, but so perfect
were the police arrangements that no
difficulty or disorder was encountered,
and the human tide poured into the great
amphitheatre without delay or discom-
fort 1t is estimated that there were r.
600 people inside the inclosure. Two
military bands were wresent and four
companies Of infantry served to insure
good order. \ long row OF seats intended
for President Disz and his party, the COM
nttee of ladies and their friends and the
members of the Spanish Casino were
decorated with bunting, the Spanish col
ors and palm branches
Presently roll from the drums,
flourish Of trumpets, followed By the ma
tionsl hymn by the band outside :he
amphithcatre, announced the arrival of
the President Of the republic His ap-
pearance in his box was the signal for
enthusiastic cheers from the spectators,
saIutes by the soldiers, and repetition
of the national hymn By band inside
the enclosure. The applause was genu-
ire and universal. Hundreds of minia-
ture Spanish snd Mexican flags were un-
fur!ed and waved by the people during
the hosting Of the Mexican ensign in
front OF the presidential box. The Pres
ident was evidently il excellent health
and spirits, and advancing to the front of
the boz. and acknowledged the cordial
reception. Accompanying the President
were Mrs Disz, the committee ofladies,
and brilliant company composed OF
the gery cream Of Mexican society.
Nine bulls of celebrated breed were
killed amid the bravos of the spectators.
The animals had been trained for The
occasion, aud many Of the matsdors had
many narrow escapes. President Disz
and party left the ring during the killing
of the eighth bull. The banderilos that
had been stuck into the bulls were, after
the fight, sold by peddlers at extravagant
prices.
This was one of the greatest fights that
Mexico has seen for yeals, and the
amount received for admission fees is
supposed will reach S25, 900. The great
crowd was demonstrative, but good natur'
ed and orderly.

EAGER FOR THE RETURNS.

Last Nights Election Excitement.
 Considerable interest was manifested last night to hear the election returns from New York, Ohio, etc. At the Republican league dispatches came in from time to fine an- nouncing the fuctuating estimates and many members dropped in to hear the bulletins. At the vario1s restaurants much inquiry was made for the very latest. All wanted soul-satisfying figures and the fragmentary early bulletins were eagerly devoured, Those having bets of new hat on lection or bets of more serious character dwelt on the returns with a pe- culiar interest and avidity and heard with mor,s or less zest the varying turns of the tide.
 A party consisting of Deputy Collector Macdonald, Alderman Lowe and other friends went to New York to witness the election tGmult last night.

Ministers, Meeting.

Last Monday morning at the ministers meeting Rev. Dr. Perkins of Meriden de- livered very able address on Ministerial Education" The reverend gentleman said that all young ministers should keep post ed on the current topics of the day and should strive to familiarize themselves with the literature of the present rather than the past; also that they should feel deeply the responsibility devolving upon them as leaders, and should be thoroughly equipped with that kind of knowledge which would make their life work a grand success. In closing he referred to the ten derness and sympathy of Jesus and said that the young minister should strive above all things to sympathize with and aid those to whom he ministered, and en- deavor to lift to a higher moral and spirit ual plane all who came within the range of his influence. Rev. L. H. Squires, Rev. MT. Jackson, Rev. Mir. Towne, Rev. Mir. Whitcomb, Rev. Dr. Bushnell and others spoke in praise of Dr. Perkins eloquent and scholarly address.
