is attracting considerable attention from
the medical profession at present He says
that some weeks ago he grew tired Of life
and shot himself 10 the head With a pistol.
The bullet made large hole in his fore
head and had evidently gone into bis head.
However Laymen did not die. He did not
apparently even grow worse On Tuesday
he was taken To the hospital at Connells-
vile There the surgeons made startling
discovery. The bullet had not glanced a.
round the skull bcne, but had gone straight
int the brain The surgeons were able TO
trace it for six inches into the mans head
by the hole it had made. They could not
extract the bullet, and think it lodged in
part of the bone at the base of the brain.
The mans statement that he shot himself
in the head three weeks ago and has not
lost the power Of his mind seems incredible.
His case is an anomaly IN the medical his
tory. 0uly one case has ever before been
recorded similar to it.

weakness. st. Paul and Union Pacific

the decrease Of over S16S, 900 ia gross
earnings for the second week in June,
while Union Pacific dropped ON the false
report that Attorney General Olney in
tended to bring suit to recover moneys

The stock was also weakened by the
fears OF heavy assessment. The other
prominent railroads declined 16@6S per

steamship Lain and the falling off in
the westbound shipments from Chicago

PUBLIC PRINTING.
To Prevent the Robbery of
Property-Owners.
The Printing Committee Discusses
the Matter, but Adjourns for One
Week Without Action.

The question of letting the contract for
the doing of the public printing for the
next TWO years was brought up before the
Printing Committee of the board yesterday
morning at II o'clock, special meeting
being held to consider the matter. There
were present Supervisors Hinton, Ken
nedy. Ryan and Forman, Supervisor Day
being absent
Chairman Hinton had a copy of the
specifications under which the resent
contract is being performed, which were
prepared TWO years ago and under which
prOperty-owners have been saved from
being mulcted by exorbitaut printing bills.
Mr.. Hinton read the specifications and
asked that a resolution be adopted to be
presented to the board on next Monday
directing the clerk of the board to adver.
tise for bids for doing the public printing
Tor two years from the 1st OF next JAN
uary.

way.
Chairman Hinton, in answer to MIR.
Kennedy aud TO his objections to taking
up the matter now. said that lie con sdered
this a most important matter; one 10
which every property-owner was mate
rally interested, and that il should be
&C ed upon Immediately. That 10 harm
whatever could be done by taking it up
now; but, on the contrary, it seemed to
him the proper thing to DO in view of the
fact that by delaying 1t some legal CUES
tions may arise, as he has been led TO be-
lieve, and that should IL be delayed and
such legal questions should arise, it would
throw it over beyond the end of the year
and would undoubtedly entail great loss
upon tie city as we'll as upon property
owners generally should 1t be carried into
the courts; that bis only desire in the mat
ter was to prevent legal complications and
save the city FROM difficulty and loss. For
IL the case should be delayed great confus-
sion might arise and a stop would be put
to ali public and private Improvement, al
property-owners would be lOath TO under
take any improvements which might rem
der them liable to suits at law.
Supervisor Ryan said be thought IL a
very important ~ after also, but he would
prefer that a full committee should act
upon it. Supervisor Day being absent. he
moved that the matter lay over for one
week. The potion was carried, Kennedy.

Polk Street Cut Out of the Fire
| limits

According to the fire limits as drawn and
established by the Board of Supervisors 10
1880, small strip of territory, embracing
1876 feet on each side of Polk street from
Suffer to Clay, was embraced in them.
The strip is entirely isolated from the
rest of the district embraced in the fire
limits, although that part EN- bracing both
sides OF Larkia street reaches nearly to il.
For some time past property-Owners In
the POik-street district have been petition
Ing me Board of Supervisors to cut them
out of the fire limits. AT the last meeting
of the board The matter was referred to
the Fire Committee, and at the meeting O
that committee yesterday afternoon the
properiy-o%ners were given fun hear
ing and their petition was fayorably recon-
mended.
The committee appointed by the Rich
mOnd District improvement Club and
large number of the residents of the dis
tTict appeared before the committee aud
stated their necessity of a fire engine.
George A. McCalvy, chairman of the COM
Mite, explained that the chemical en-
CINE was totally unable to cover this large
district effectively. Chief Sullivan also
thought that fire engine was necessary
and the committee agreed to recommend
10 the board that fire engine be given to
the Richmond district and that the Finance
Committee of the board allow $l400 toward
fixing up house and 500 a month for
salaries to the engine company.
