BULLS FIGHT 70 THE DEATH.
Terrific Combat for $500 Takes Place In ,
Florida Woods.

Aerxluc COnnO8t IOf 0oVU ISk0S 1A0CS III -
Florida Woods.
To settle q bet made by their owners
two bulls met in duel to the death near
Callahan, Fla. The combat took place
in an inclosed space in the Piney Woods
about 200 feet square, says the New
York Morning Journal, and was wit
messed by over 1000 citizens, many OF
them from Jacksonville and Fernan-
dina. The bulls were owned by Messrs,
McLendon and Jones, wealthy planters.
No gamer animals ever met in the arena
The Jones bull was Of red color and
the McLendon animal Of dun hue
The bulls were about eight years old
and each weighed about 900 pounds. The
animals have been noted for their fierce.
ness. and their owners have been forced
to keep them closely confined.
The other day the owners met and be-
gan discussing the fighting qualities Of
the bulls. which resulted in an agree
ment to match the animals for $500 a
side.
The animals were driven into the arena
from opposite sides. and then began q
contest. which will long be remembered
by those present. The bulls were eager
for the fray and Immediately dashed at
one another. They met with terrific
force in the middle Of the arena. Both
seemed partially stunned by the shock
Of the collision. The red bull was the
first to recover. and dashed at the dun
animal. succeeding in gashing the latter
in the side The wound only served tc
enrage the dun bull. and he repaid It in
kind. tearing open the f1ank OF the red
Animal. The contest continued for thir-
ty minutes with the utmost ferocity,
each animal giving and receiving dozens
Of wounds. The red bull was the more
active. and. probably, bore fewer
wounds than his opponent. Both ami
mails were now winded and seemed will
ing to rest q few minutes. Bets were
2 to l that the red bull would win.
AS soon as the animals had rested they
dashed at enc another again, meeting in
the middle Of the arena. Both bulls fell
to the ground and seemed unable to rise.
The red animal gave a conclusive kick
or two and became still, while the dun
bull continued to struggle, but could not
rise. TIL. spectators approached and
found that in the collision one Of the
dun's horls had entered the right eye
VI Lie Ieo oNillisd' Pe1iSti>liii6 VIC Di"iii
and causing instant death. The animals
met with such force that the dun bull
could not withdraw his horn. and the
skull Of the red animal was split in or
der to release the victor Although the
dun bull had won by a chance blow. he
was horribly wounded. He had been
torn in twenty places by the horns Of
his opponent. and his wounds will prob
ably prove fatal. The sand Of the arena
resembled the floor Of slaughter house,
so profusely were the combatants bled.
1t is estimated that $4,000 changed
hands on the result. The spectators.
most of whom saw the Corbett-Mitchell
mill, say the contest beat prize fighting.

New Uses for PEAT.

The numerous peat boys Of New Eng
land have hitherto been Of little use 10
their owners, but the new process of
making gas from peat may greatly en-
nance their value. The tests just made
at Cambridge encourage the hope that
a high grade Of gas may be manufac>
tured at a low price. BY an ingenious
and comparatively simple method in
tense heat is generated from this bog
product, which becomes available for
steam power.

The Mirror.

Every house should contain at least
one mirror Of sufficient length to en-
able one to see ones self within it at
full length No woman ever knows
quite what an appearance she makes
until she thus sees herself, and there
are many little defects of dress only
to be remedied by such observation.
Many gowns would hang very differ
emily, or be Of different lengths. and
sometimes, too, very much better boots
would be donned. II the gift" were
thus given ito see ourselves as others

King Of Portugal postponing his prom.

Pope's opposition, it is reported that
Italy has suspended diplomatic rela-

Woman and the mirror have long been

radiant, bemirrored elevator is respon-
