MR.. BALLOU AND THE BULL
FIGHT.

Atlanta Constitution.
Some men toll for cash and for glory
In wit and in wisdom and wool;
But different indeed, is the story
OF Mr. Ballou and the bull
o Mr.. Ballou
Who has come into view
On the brawny, bare back of a bull!
His soul of the tenderest pity
Is always exceedingly full;
He never will dwell in city
Where the citizens bother bull.
And he'd hang by the neck
Every fellow on deck
Who shook red rag at q bull.
The Ian b that went following Mary,
With all of as still has pull;
But how could she love it--sweet fairy -
As Mr.. Ballou loves the bull?
He would shoot on the shores
All the mad matadores
That brainlessly bothered bull!
The world may behold him with wonder
This man of compassion so full;
While in tones that are louder than thunder
Comes the believing thanks Of the Dull!
His champion true
Mr. Hullaballou,
who veeps on the neck of bull!

WHAT'S IT WORTH.
Speculation on the Extension of the N.
e. IL. IL. Lease.

Greensboro Record.
One gentleman yesterday in speaking
about renewal of the lease of the N. O.
r. r., said six per cent. was too cheap
for the property.
Perhaps, but in estimating it should
be borne in mind that twenty-five years
ago interest was as high as IS per cent,
while the usual rate was 10 and 12 1-2
Then along about 1874 the legal rate
was made per cent.
Now again it has come down. the legal
rate being made 6.
We don't know what the property is
worth, but it is well to bear in mind
that it was never known TO pay any div
idends until after its lease.
And further, it would be well TO con
slider what the road would be worth to
the stockholders operated as an indie
pendent line.

THE DURRANT MURDER TRIAL
The Work of Securing a Jury Pro-
ceeds Very Slowly.

ceeds very SLOWLY
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 30-The
principal feature of the Durrant case tc-
day was the defendants application for
a judicial order to prevent the produc-
ton of play called "The Crime of a
Century," based upon the Emanuel
church murders. The prisoner alleged
that the performance advertised for
to night would inf1ame popular feeling
against him. The prosecution joined
with the defendant for restraining or
der, which was granted. The work Of
securing a jury proceeds slowly. Of
thirty examined to day, none were &C
cepted. Few are challenged for believ-
ing in the prisoners guilt. The major
ity are excused for their unwillingness
to accept as convincing circumstantial
evidence.

Painter BY Trsde-Detalls Of
the Affair

At 9 o'clock last night a man suicided
In the closet of the saloon at the south
west corner Of Com mercial and Whining
ton streets by shooting himself in his
right temple with a revolver. He died
almost instantly. The name of the sui
ciae could not be learned positively, but
the proprietors of the place think 1T is
Frank Burrows, and he was a painter by
trade.
He had been in the habit Of visiting
the saloon every few nights for several
months past. Last evening he entered
the door at minutes to o'clock, and
walked up TO the bar and asked for glass
OF whisky, after having invited a by
stander to drink with him. As soon as
he had laid the glass on the bar the de-
ceased remarked: "Well. this will be the
last" and walked rapidly toward the
end OF the saloon and into the water
closet. Almost instantly after loud re-
port was heard.
P. H. Domiguez. the proprietor Of the
hurried to the place. The deceased was
seen sitting upon the bench, with his
head hanging down his lett side, while
in his lap lay mis- left hand grasping the
smoking revolver. A round black spot in
his right temple showed where he had
eUOb u1tuSeus lDo Dullct Ildu IduBcu
back. coming out about six inches from
where it had entered. He had appar-
emily fred the pistol with mis- left hand.
The body was removed to ROberC Gar
rett's undertaking parlors. Nothing that
would lead to positive identi fication was
found in his clothes. He was very re-
spectacle appearing person. about 30 years
OF age. was about 5 feet inches tall and
mpactly built. He had dark brown hair
and mustache. wore brown trowsers and
dark coat and vest.
Mr.. Dominguez said that he had visi-
ted the place the night before until 9
o'clock in the morning, and appeared in
the best OF spirits. The dead man had
been drinking considerably the last two
weeks. His motive could not be learned.
Another person stated that he had talked
with the supposed Burrows yesterday and
count of having no steady work.
In all probability the m an had the deed
in contemplation and took the drink OF
whisky to brace his nerves sufficiently to
commit the act.
The dead man is said to have brother
named Charlie. who is employed as a
feeder on the Record.

heretofore.
The proportion of the electors who went

At Northampton, which is Radical
