The war of Roses" began its third
week at the Armory last night, and judg-
ing from the large crowd present. the
bazaar has not lost any of its interest.
The attraction last night was Drill

Male orphan Asylum. There were six
companies. representing the French, Rus
sian. British, German, Irish, and the
Americans. Captain" Watkins, Of the
French Brigade, was the commander in
charge of the united forces. and he led
his soldiers in the most skilful manner.
They marched and countermarched, form
cd crosses. stars. etc, until the spectators
fairly made the large hall resound with
their applause.
Tonight the houses OF York and Lam
caster will meet each other and fight the
decisive battle, and the struggle promises
10 be a great and glorious one. Specula-
tion as 10 which will come out Of the con-
dict victorious Is rife among the hun
dreds who have witnessed the former
struggles Of the opposing houses. Last
night the fair combatants held a council
Of war. and each will go upon the field
his evening determined TO triumph over
the enemy.
on wednesday peace Will reign on the
scene OF the great conflict, and the last
evening OF the great bazaar will pass
away married by 10 sound OF battle. and
leaving only the happiest memories be-
hind.

WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
NoIIie williams Takes Laud"n"m
and Comes Near Dying.

Nollie Williams the woman who re-
/ sides over No. l07 west Broad street ana
who recently was taken before the Chief
Of Police for defrauding a young lawyer
/ Of this city out Of Slj by false pretences'
is now the central figure in another rather
sensational episode.
She tried on Friday last to end her
mortal career 10y swallowing a potential
dose of poison. She succeeded for the
ponce. in that she lost consciousness from
the effects OF the poisonous fluid, but Dr.
/ Page Massie was called in ere the
flame Of life had hickered out, and win
the aid of powerful antidotes, practically
resurrected her.
IL appears that the unfortunate woman
was bent on ending her career, and early
Friday morning visited drugstore on
Broad street and asked for an ounce OF
laudanum. The clerk before filling the
order informed Mrs. Williams that as the
law was very rigid as TO the sale of poi
sons. she would have to answer several
questions before she could get the lauda-
mum. She positively declined 10 answer
the questions and the clerk politely re-
fused 10 sell her the poison
young man had followed Mrs. VIII
liarns into the store, and while the clerk
was talking with her the young man
gave him suggestive wink, which con-
nrmed his suspicious as 10 the purpose
for which the dose was intended
The woman went elsewhere in quest OF
the poison. and finally secured IL from a
drugstore on Marshall street
She went Immediately To her room
where she had left her two little children.
and though she had bought an ounce Of
laudanum. only drank about half the
quantity. She was discovered in an I'M
conscious condition later. and Dr. Massie
was summoned. with the result thao he
saved her life.
Mrs williams is from Chase city. and
is separated from her husband. She
claims to have an interest in tract OF
400 acres Of land in one Of the counties
adjacent TO Richmond. and it was on
the strength Of this claim that she Sc
cured the money from the lawyer
