crowd was composed largely of Americans
and many Of those who attended were la
dies, who accompanied their husbands and
families to this city TO participate in the
carnival which opens tomorrow.
The first two bulls were spiritless crea-
lures and not enough excitement resulted
TO repay the trouble of crossing the river.
but when the gates were opened for the
third encounter it was seen that the ami
NAL elected for slaughter was a fierce Sa-
malayuca bull. Matillera and his associ-
ates pursued the usual tactics of their
craft and for five minutes they worried
the animal. Suddenly the bull turned
upon one Of the other men who were tor
menting him and jammed him against the
inside fence of the arena
Matillera, seeing the peril of HIS COM
panion. attempted to distract the animals
attention by wounding him with his sharp
pointed instrument. The crowd was in a
furor Of excitement as the bull turned
upon his new tormentor and with a single
toss of his head threw the man against
the fence. Before the others could be of
assistance to the unfortunate bull fighter
the animal had gored him severely in the
side and thigh. The banderillos then sue
ceeded IN reseuing him
Matillera was carried out and the killing
cf the bull proceeded without further incl

nearby drug store it was found that both
Of his legs were broken and that a num-

tured. He was removed to the Mexican
Hospital and tonight it was reported that
he was dying.
Matillera is well known throughout Mex
leo and has taken part in scores of bloody
encounters with fierce beasts. both in that
country and Spain.

had work for him to do, which in
terfered with some of his plans or
enjoyment, and, though Karl obeyed
her, it was not without a good deal
of grumpling. He had much to say
about never being allowed to do as
he pleased, and it would be time
enough for him to settle down to
work when he was older While the
sense of injury was strong upon him,
L came out on the piazza beside him
and said, "Karl, why do you try to
break that colt of yours3"
The boy looked up1in surprise.
"Why, I want him to be good for
something"
"But he likes his own way" l OBJ
jected. "Why shouldn't he have itY'
BY this time Karl was staring at
mo in perplexity. "I'd like to know
the good Of horse that always has
his own wayW he said, as if rather
indignant at my lack Of common
sense"
"And as for working" I went on,

the friendly relations which have oh.
tanned between the races in this CITY.
In the conditions, therefore, it was
certain that the negroes would make
good use of the opportunity present
ed at the Exposition for creditable
exhibit of the progress the race has
made since it was set free.
But without the intelligent direc
tion and active work Of w. D. Crum,
the assistant chairman of the negro
department, the efforts of the negroes
would not have been nearly 80 sue
oessful. He is entitled not only to
the credit for the success Of the de-
monstration on Emancipation Day,
but for large share in the work
which has been done by the negro
department. 1t is pleasure to be
able to say this much and to give
honor where honor is due"
Mr.. Hempllll said that the com
munity of Charleston was willing to
stand by that statement still.
The committee waO evidently not
impressed with the bearing of this
article upon Crum's fitness for the

and listened to the case as presented
by them with much interest.

his delegation are loud in their praise
of the temperate and strong presenta
tion of the case by Senator Tillman.
