people at least one-thIrd of their deposits.
However, our attorney advises us not to pay

and unnecessary outlay. But l dare say we
shall be able to make an arrangement at the

will be satisfactory to all.

A Young Austrian Predicts Another Bulgar-
ian UprisinR.
Mr.. Ernst Jordan, of Bodenback, Austria.
was in the city yesterday at the Duquesne.
The young man is travelling in America.
About his own country, he said:
The death of Rudolf is wrapped in mystery,
and just how he died will never be known. All
the facts will be carefully guarded. The sue
cession has already been settled and his sudden
demise will not lead to any political compllca-
tions. 1 often saw him, and he really was liked
by the people. He had a very fine wife, but
never cared very much for her. This produced
his downfall,
think there will be another uprising in Bull
garia in few weeks. Ferdinand is the present
King of the people. and he expected consider
able support from the court of Austria, which
he never received. The people are chafing and
restless, and it won't be long before there is
another outlook. This time Austria will not
interfere. 1t was mistake to remove Alex
ander, for he is good man. Russia may take
a hand In the fight, and the result will be that
Bulgaria will be annexed to the Cars king
dom. Austria doesn't care much for the terri
tory, and Russia will some day quietly make
the gobble.
Mr.. Jordan spent yesterday examining the
city and visiting some of the iron mills. He
thinks the new Court House is a magnif-
cent structure.

Representative Stewart Criticises the Grade
Crossing Bill.
Yesterday the Legislature adjourned until
next Wednesday to give the members an
opportunity to vote. Quite a number of the
Western Pennsylvania Representatives re-
turned last night. In the party were Henry
Hall, of Mercer; DIR. Donaldson, of WASH
ington; DR.. Mccullough, Messrs. Laferty,
Stewart, Morland, Weaver, Senator Steele
and Reading Clerk Baker. Commenting
on the grade crossing bill, Mr.. Stewart said:
think the bill is defective in some respects.
1t provides that in cities where the roads are
already built, the city shall bear one-half the
expense in constructing the elevated tracks. If
a new road is laid the company will have to pay
the cost alone. If the bill is passed, many Of
the cities will not be inclined to stand the
enormous outlay, and the result will be that the
good effects of the bill will be lost. l think
this would be true Of Pittsburg and Allegheny
if it became law.
would also like to see boroughs and towns
included in the measure. know lots of dan
gerous crossings in the country that ought to
be protected A bridge over the track would
answer the purpose, and it could be done for
small outlay of money.

Fitzsimmons are from Illinois, and at one time

looked upon as possessed of extraordinary
strength.
In the eleventh round both men approached
each other as if determined then to knock each
other out. The fight began in earnest. Blow
after blow was rained, and it looked for a mo-
ment as though Brien would do up his antagon-
ist. Fitzsimmons seemed to realize this and
picking up enough courage ran at Brien and
with horrible right handler under the chin,
downed him and won the battle. Brien lay
motionless and could not respond to the call Of
time, and in consequence Fitzsimmons was
given the fight. Both men are of the same
