and he was placed on a lumber trolley and rolled into a shed, where he was locked in, after being released.
 The bull was one of a herd that was being driven to Butchertown. When opposite the Folsom-street steps the animal broke away from the drove and ran overheard. Half dozen boat men in whitehalls, with the assistance of some sailors. got the animal on to the float and tied its legs to prevent another runaway. Half an hour later Harry Johnson and Dave Jenkins re- leased the animal, first of all. how ever, taking the precaution to fasten about 100 yards of heaving line to it's neck. After getting the animal on its feet they could not get it to budge for quite a while. When it did move it went with a rush, and was only stopped by the line being fastened around an electric light pole.
 The fun now began. The bull was mad, and no one could come any nearer than the length of that heaving line Directly one of the boatmen would come within striking distance the bull would make rush at him, and when the man had made his escape the cni- nal would retire to a dark corner near the cigar-stand. Harry Johnson was slow in getting away from one of the rushes and was helped over one of Peterson's whitehalls that was lying along the wharf Dave Jenkins was tossed overheard and little Jack Healy lost the back out of his coat. Watch man Thomas of the Spreckels tugboat line was driven into the office and bar ricaded himself in. Every time he made a move toward getting out the bull would drive him back again. so there he had to stay until the animal was captured.
 Dick Sacke, third mate of the steamer State of California, was knocked down and slightly injured, and the watchman of the Beaver Hill coal bunkers is run ming yet.
 | The next people on the scene were 1 Officers Dillon and McGrath of the Harbor Police. They were attracted by the disturbance, and Dillon imme- diately volunteered to show the bows how easy it was to capture the enraged animal. When he and McGrath came within its range of vision the bull charged. McGrath escaped into Peter sons boathouse and locked himself in. l Dillon was not so fortunate. The anil nal caught him, and, pinning him against the Naval Battalion boathouse gave him thorough mauling The boatmen attracted the bulls attention. and Dillon managed to make his es- | cape. His clothing was torn. he was bruised all over his body and his right ankle sprained. By this time McGrath had made his escape, so he rang in for the patrol-wagon and sent his unfor- 1 tunate companion home.
 Soon after this the boys lassoed and threw the bull. after which they tied 1 it's legs together and wheeled it into | Captain McCoy's stable. where it re- mained until the vaqueros from Butch {! ertown came to look for it.

CURSED BY DRINK.
Edward MuIvihiIl Comnitted Burq- lory Tbinking ImprisopDept
 Would Cure Him.

Edward Mulvihill, a young man only g years of age, is a confirmed dipsoma- niac. He was employed in a wholesale butcher store in New York and came to this city about three years ago, thinking that a change of environment might have the effect of curing him. He got along all right for a few months and then he commenced to dring again.
 In his despair he conceived the idea of committing a burglary, under the i'm pression that a term in the penitentiary, away from all temptation, might perma- nently cure him. Accordingly he broke into the store of H. Falk. 135 Fifth street, was arrested. tried, and on May 2. 1896 sentenced to two years in San Quentin.
 He was released last Sunday and found that his father had sent S25 to be handed to him by the warden. As soon as he left the boat he went into a saloon to try his strength against temptation but the old craving came back and early yesterday morning he was found wan dering along the water front crazy from his debauCh. He was sent to the Re ceiving Hospital and was discharged yesterday afternoon. He told pr. Bun nell that he was penniless and did not care what happened him.

CHINA PAINTING HINTS.
Description of Some Very Popular
 Styles of Decoration.

Description of Some Very Popular
 Styles of Decoration.
 Within the past few years the art of china decoration has been q most pop ular pastime and profitable business to many.
 The mode of coloring is si1nplified and much improved with the advance in this work, and the demand is for bet ter class of designs than formerly were placed before the public, they being for the most part decidedly crude and inar- tistic.
 Here is a conventional design for decorating a set of plates; either break fast, soup, dinner, dessert or fruit plates, and a design for decorating 8 tea caddy, biscuit jar, rose jar, oreven a tray. The design for plates can be cas- fly painted by an experienced person, as it requires simple tinting, and the shad- ing of the cut will guide one in shading the colors from dark to light
 One desirable scheme of color is car ried out in painting the darkest scrolls in deep purple. The next lighter is carnation No 1, and the lghtest scrolls in silver yellow. The scrolls should be all shaded, starting from the center of the design with the darkest shade and gradually fading out to a pale shade at the top of the scrolls.
 Another style of decorations is as fol- lows: Tint the darkest scrolls with carmine shading to light at the tips of the scrolls The next lighter scrolls should be shaded with grass green, and the lightest in delicate tint of sky blue. There are many other harmon ious combinations of color which will suggest themselves to the artist.
 In painting the yellow narcissus de- sign more skill is requisite in order to shade the petslls-.sirr cups to prevent a fas appearance. One must use his

THE PRIMARY
 ELECTION,
The Family Fight is Over and the Winning Ticket
 Named.

Saturday last primary elections were held over the State, with the exception of four counties.
 In Monroe county large vote was boiled and for two or three places the fight was 'warm"
 The ARGUS man did his best to secure the entire vote of the var ious townships, but found 1t i'm possible to get them all and there fore will not publish the tabulated vote until we can get it officially.
 The greatest interest was mani fested in the race for Representa- tive, County Judge, Sheriff and Treasurer.
 For Representative, o. M. Nor man has carried the county by about 40 votes A. J. Cannon be- ing next in the race.
 For Judge, T. G. Trice has de- feated J. B. Chapline by over 200 votes.
 For Sheriff, T. H. jackson has carried the county over Jno. 5. Black by about 133 votes.
 For Treasurer, w. l.. Hinton has carried the county by about D votes over Youngblood.
 For County Clerk Uncle Jimmie Garrett has carried the county by about GOO majority over W. l.. Ferguson.
 w. c. Brown for Assessor and James Engle for Circuit Clerk, having no opposition, polled the full vote of about 1900.
 F. E. Brown, for Prosecuting Attorney, carried very near every thlng solid over Young.
 Hicks for Attorney General. Ritchie for Treasurer, Colquit for Land Commissioner and Wads- worth for Commissioner of Agri- culture have probably carried the county.

A PLATE PATTERN.

own judgment, following the shading of the drawing as nearly as possible. The petals are of bright yellow. In painting them use silver yellow and mixing yellow. The cups of the flow CTS are tinged with deep yellow, and should be shaded at the base as well as the leaves with brown green.
 The foliage of this plant is naturally stiff, and is of a rich green tone. Use grass green, apple green and brown green in painting this. It is always well to use combination of greens rather than single shade, as in na- ture one finds that leaves are quite va ried on the same plant. The effect of work thus executed is much more pro- fessional in appearance, point all china painters aim to attain.-N. B. Simmonds, in Louisville Courier-J our nal
