Enrased Bull Kills n Picador.

NoGALEs, Ariz., Oct. 27.-During a
bull fight in Sonora Mexico, yesterday,
one Of the bulls became enraged and
ranted about the arena, goring every
thing within its reach. A horse was
disembowelled and Jose Angulo, in an
attempt to place thorn in the side OF
the wild animal, was caught on one OF
its long horns, which pierced him like a
sword. He was tossed and fell to the
ground, where the beast held him be-
tween his horns and paved him. He
was frightfully mangled and died few
minutes later.

GENERAL J. B. Doe. assistant secre-
tary CT war, is democrat, and is not
deferred by the fear of losing his office
from expressing democratic opinions.
He says ~ am not in favor of attempt
ing to correct mistakes or misbehavior
among our forces by going over to the
enemy or firing into our own people
from the rear" This is the view of the
matter taken by every common sense
democrat-who is DISTINGUISHED.

1t is currently reported that good
many negroes who have no legal right
to vote here or in Alexandria county
have been registered. If that be 80, the
democrats should make it their bust
ness to see that every one of them, and
all those who participated in the fraud,
be arrested at once and punished to the
full extent of the law. And this should
be done Immediately, so that the illegal
voters may be prevented from casting
ballots next Tuesday.

ual Life Insurance Company, of New
York, refused to pay the life policy OF
Guy c. Phinney for $4,000 and suit
was brought by the widow and judg-

The clerk of the court at Washington
failed to properly indorse the writ OF
error. therefore there is no official re
cord showing that it was actually filed
The time allowed within which another
appeal might be filed has expired, so the
decision is final.

Impressive Ceremonies Over the Graves o
the Nations Heroes-FIowers and
Eloquent Eulogies

Even before the hour appointed for
the gathering at Evergreen cemetery,
the burial place was thronged with peo-
pie, most of them bearing floral tributes
for the graves of the absent heroes or
some departed loved one. Flowers in
great profusion were strewn over most
of the mounds. Scarcely a grave but
bore some evidence Of the remembrance
of those who were left behind. Little
ehildren came with their arms laden
with the treasures of the garden; old
men and women brought their tokens.
and the day was a decoration day in
deed, not alone of the graves of the de-
tenders of the Union, but of all who
slept within that silent city,

MARKS, after which a song by Miss JOY,
with refrain by her class, Tenting To-

concluded as follows:

tribute to the dead heroes who had
given up their lives for the preservation

which the salute was fired and the for

Those present then dispersed through
out the cemetery, decorating the graves,
of which about thirty are Union vet

strewn with flowers, showing that the

Gift OF the Younger Gcneration-Tne

for the benefit of the younger genera
ton, which was followed by song by
Miss joys class, The Vacant Chair,
which was very pleasingly given.
Commander AXtell then spoke briefly
as follows:
Comrades: The duty OF today is of
impressive significance. We meet to
honor our dead and to deepen our rever-
nece for their worth; to strengthen
among ourselves the bond of fraternity
by recalling the memory of experiences
common to us all; to encourage a more
generous charity for our comrades who
are sick or in distress, and for the des-
titute wards of the Grand Army; to re-
new our pledge of loyalty to our coun-
try and our flag, and to emphasize in the
minds and hearts of all who may unite
the privilege and duty of patriotism.
Comrades, it is expected that
throughout our services each one will
manifest the most courteous and rever-
ent decorum. Let our soldierly deport-
ment be such that we may worthiy
honor the graves we decorate, the mem
cries we cherish, the flag we salute and
the Grand Army, to which we have the
honor to belong"
The Star Spangled Banner by Super
intendent Foshay of the city schools
followed, after which the commander
continued:
Comrades of the Grand Army Mem
bers of the w. r. c. and Friends All:
Today is the festival of our dead. We
unite to honor the memory of our brave
and our beloved; to enrich and ennobIe
