Killed BY Lightning.

A bolt OF lightning struck one of Fro
boese q Santleben's fine mules,
driven IN the lead in a four-mule team
attached TO one Of their Goats, which
was being driven along the Madison
square park, on Dallas street, Saturday
afternoon last by A. j. Wallace, the
driver. The mule was instantly killed,
and the remaining three mules and the
driver were SO greatly shocked as to re-
main unconscious for several minutes.
Mr.. Froboese says the mules carcass
was perfectly limp after death and
showed no marks at all Of the lightning's
force. He thinks the bolt was attracted
to the mule by the team being In rapid
motion. They were driven at trot
by the driver.

Another Bid for tho Site.

We hear that the Messrs. Mavericks
have forwarded to Washington City, a
supplemental offer of the lot on Hous-
ton street and avenue ID, at present
used as q marble yard, In which the
original price asked is materially re-
dueed. Several land owners in the
vicinity have made liberal subscriptions
of money to be used In paying for this
lot, In order to induce the United States
to build the courthouse and postoffice
upon 1t, and 1t is not at all improbable
that this lot will be chosen as the site
for the federal building. 1t is hard
matter to down public spirited citizens,
when they are aroused to action.

Another Excursion.

Some time last week two ofour prom
inent contractors had agreed to go to
Castroville on business, they made the
agreement to meet at the depot at q
given time in the evening. No railway
was mentioned In the Conversation and
then 1t came to pass that one went to
the L. & GIN depot and sat down quietly
waiting, while the other one well fixed
with ammunition (p) went to the Sunset
depot, patiently waiting for the arrival
Of his friend. The last bell sounded,
the stentorian "all aboard" OF the con-
ductor was heard and he also was left;
he would not go minus his partner.
The denueument came later, when both
met at prominent resort and excuses
from both were made.

An Excursion.

Last Tuesday George Dullnig and
George Reuter-, Of the Two Brothers,
and J. II. Erkner, started at an early
hour for Sisterdale, where In tho imme-
diate neighborhood, Mr.. Dullnig has q
ranch on the banks OF Sisters creek.
The party returned last Saturday and
were caught in the heavy rain that fell
that afternoon. Dullnig tells some great
yarns Of picnics that border on the
Muenchausen tales. Fish were caught
plentiful, and the bait was manufac-
tured out Of sawdust by George Reuter-,
however the silver hook is supposed to
have played conspicuous part. The
two Georges looked rather rough from
travel-stained from wear and tear, but
they are rather indisposed and quite
dilatOry Of telling their experience.
George Dullnig says the next time he
goes he will take q newspaper man
along for faithful report of the trip.

Yesterday morning Mr.. August SAINT
leben was called upon to perform the
unpleasant duty of killing his pet dog,
which he did by shooting 1t. Mr.. SAINT
leben's children early in the morning
noticed that the dog acted queerly and
told Mr.. S., who looked at the animal
and saw that it gave unmistakable signs
OF suffering from hydrophobia. One of
MIR. Santleben's sons mounted horse
and with lariat caught the poor beast
and held it until MIR. 5. shot il. This
dog was bitten some weeks ago by
rabid dog belonging to Mr.. X. f. Bond,
who lives in the same neighborhood,
and whose dog went mad five weeks ago,
was killed. Mr.. Walter Pleasants' dog
was killed Saturday last, ne having be-
come mad. Mr.. Peasants lives in the
same neighborhood, and was also bitten
by Mr.. Bonds dog. How many more
dogs in that neighborhood have been
bitten by these dogs and will become
mad no one can tell, but the inhabitants
Of this neighborhood and the teachers
and children Of the Second ward school,
In close vicinity, are justly very much
frightened. This locality is between
North Flores, Warren and Marshal
streets and San Pedro avenue.

The Belknaps are drilling actively and are
