GORED BY A BULL.

Glastonbury Man Rescued in the Nick of Time.
 George F. Hubbard of Glastonbury, ! over sixty years of age, received seri- ous injuries Saturday afternoon, which | were inflicted by a, bull, and had the animal not been knocked down at the critical moment 1t undoubtedly would have killed him. The bull, which has 1 been vicious for some time, had broken the chain which fastened him to his | stall in the barn and was running about l the barnyard.
 The bull charged suddenly at MT. 1 Hubbard and knocked him down, in- | flicting wounds with his horns. The
 animal drove his horns into MT. Hub | bard's body so deeply that the unfort-
 unate man was taken from the ground
 and carried about the yard on the ami
 malls horns for several seconds The bull dropped him again. but continued
 to plunge at him and infiict wounds. l Henry Smith heard the commotion and ran over to the barn. Seizlng a
 fence post, he rushed into the yard and
 struck the bull a heavy blow over the head with It. This subdued the animal long enough for MT. Smith to get in an- other blow. and this time the animal 1 dropped and became insensible. This
 gave an opportunity to remove MT. Hubbard to his house.
 An examination showed that he had
 sustained seven severe wounds, besides
 being black and blue from head to foot There were two gashes almost to the
 artery on the left side of his neck
 about four inches in length; another deep wound several inches long ex-
 tending across his thigh. and severa
 deep and ragged wounds on his legs
 His clothes were almost entirely torn from his body.

PAYING TAXES.
City Employees Come Up Promptly a. he'
sult of the New Ordinance.

nossed an ordinance TO the effect that 10
civ employe could draw his salary On
the following pay day without hrst eNhiD Id
ting TO the Auditor a receipt lO' H''
taxes for the previous year. .,o.
When this ordinance was passed coPl'9
NJ n we're given 10 the city employees
rom the Mayor TO the humblest laborer,
ana fhe result is that a large number OF
citizens who would otherwise, possibly
bove DELAYED paying their taxes Tor some
more convenient season were forced 10
nav before the salary due them Tor the
past months services could be turned over
TO them.
The city is now paying off its employees.
and for several days Delinquent lax COL
lector Walford will be busy giving out re-
CENTS for delinquent taxes that VIII be
paid because OF the passage OF the new
ordinance.
None Of the employees affected by the
ordinance objected TO the paying OF their
taxes. although some Of them, VINO re-
ceive small salaries think 1t pretty nara
10 be compelled TO pay back taxes on
such short notice.
The delinquent tax collector took IN
about 500 Yesterday from this source, and
he has been very busy to-day.
The text Of this ordinance Is as follows:

city OF Richmond

hBUsINEss VIEW OF 1T.

The Brooklyn Eagle remarks that the
South is driving away population, and de
laying prosperity by these continuous
raids against law and order.
There is no doubt about this Every
time negro is lynched in the South the
fact is advertised all over the country.
and there have been so many of these
lawless outbreaks Of late. that many peo-
pie who do not know anything of the con-
dition of affairs in the South. except
what they read in the newspapers. natur-
ally presume that human life in the
Southern States is held at very low
estimate, that there is no regard for law,
and that the South is altogether an I'M
safe place in which to live. If for no
better reason than this. lawlessness in
the South should cease. Every consido-
ration of morals and public safety and
business interests demands it.

THE NEW ALLIANCE.

Senator Daniel is quoted as having said
recently TO Washington newspaper
man:
I'VE cannot be beaten this fall. the
Democracy in Virginia never was so alert
and earnest as now. In many Of the coun-
ties the Populists and Democrats are
working together in harmony
II may be from Senator Daniels stand
point a matter for feiicitaton that Dem
ocrats and Populists are working har-
moniously together, but 1t seems TO us
that II were more to the point If Demo-
Gratis and Democrats in the old Domin-
ion were at peace with each other, in
stead of being divided by questions that
have no part in the State election.
But from all that we have read and
heard on this subject, the silver Demo-
Gratis OF Virginia. seem TO be more con-
cerned to gather into their ranks the
Populists. than they are to affiliat those
Democrats who are opposed TO the Pop
uiistic doctrine. 1t may be to the tenn
porary interest OF the silver Demo rracy
Of Virginia that they are in harmony
with the Populists, but it is nothing TO
their credit Democracy and Populism
are as far apart as the east is from the
west. 1t is impossible. therefore, that
Democrats and Populists who adhere
to their party principles can consistently
work tremendously together. The Pop
ulst is at heart socialist and relies on
the government for help. The Democrat.
that is the real Democrat. utterly resents
such an idea. To him The government
Is the agent. not the master, Of the people.
We take 1t that Senator Daniel is right
when he says that his party will win in
the next State election. But IL this vic
tory is TO be won by harmonizing with
the Populists. and by driving farther
away those Democrats who do not believe
in Populsm or Populistic alliances IL will
be very dear victory 10 the Democratic
party OF Virginia.
silver Democrats have the opportunity
TO harmonize with their own brethren
who were estranged BIZ the Chicago plat.

The Ohio Democratic State Convention
has, with entire unanimity, placed the
party in that State upon the platform Of
free coinage Of silver at the ratio Of 1G
to l. The issue between the gold standard
AID free coinage of silver will, therefore.
be squaroly fought out in the Guberna-
torial election in that State. IL is very
true that a question Of coinage cannot
be settled In State election. The States
have nothing to do with the coinage.
That is a function pertaining only to the
national Government. Nevertheless.
when any proposition Of any sort. ger
name to the issue or not, is made the
shibboloth of party in an election that
arouses the passions Of men, that propo-
sition will constitute the dividing line be-
tween men, and those in favor Of it will
vote for it, while those opposed to It will
either not vote at all or will vote with
the opposing party. The coming election
will, therefore. determine whether free sill
yer is stronger than the gold standard I'm
Ohio.
1t is not impossible that free silver will
prevail IN this election. though We do
not believe that It will. The country IS
still suffering intensely from the results
of the prolonged period of depression it
has gone through and many voters will
be carried over to the free silver standard
who would vote for the advocates of
sound finance if the conditions were dill
ferent. The result of this election, how
ever, will be no forecast of the final result
when the issue is fought out in 1900. The
signs of improvement in business all over
the country are unmistakable, and we
shall, no doubt, have a rising tide Of
prosperous times before 1900 that will
carry the present vacillating vote TO the
side of sound money. Free silver is dying.
and it will never prevail in these United
States.

carried out IN spirit as well as In letter.
During Mr.. Cleveland's last administra-
ton every federal officer in this city that
was protected by the civil service law
has retained his place. Letter carrier
after letter carrier who was protected
by the civil service law remained a letter
carrier and is one to-day, in spite OF the

orat. The civil service law has not been

ciple. as Richmond postofiice testifes. ana
that in spite OF and in the face of the

because Mr.. Mckinley IS not real civil

cere in his professions as Mr.. Cleveland
