BARCELONA, Aug. 3.-Grent excitement was
caused In this city last night by what was for
time believed to be revolutionary move
but which subsequently proved TO be Il des-
peratc attempt upon the part Of certain
spectators on the BoursC to bring about n
decline In the prices OF the securities dealt in
upon the exchange. For foOlhardy daring
tho scheme has never been equalled by dcs-
country.
The troops VINO garrison this city were IN
their barracks, and the usual guards were
patroling their posts, when IL band Of ilttcon
men, some ot whom were armed with rifles,
while others carried revolycrs In their hands,
cautiously approached the buildings and at
tempted to erect u surprise Of the guards
The guards ordered the band 10 halt and
give the COuntersign. The mon then made IA
rush upon the scntries and delivered vOlley
from their weapons. some uf the guards fell,
having been struck 10y the bullets Of their ag-
grcsSors. The others stood their ground aud
answered the volcy from the attackers with
a fusilladc from their rifles.
For a short time regular battle was Tough,
and n number ON both sides were wounded
In the mean time the Officers stationed at the
barracks summoned the troops 10 arms, and
IN very short time the attacking party was
surrounded and placed under arrest The
men win he tried by Court-martiul, and the

LoNDON, Aug. 3.-The standards Vienna
correspondent scouts the idea Of a regular al
lance between France and Russia but thinks
that Admiral Gervais discussed with the Rus
sian uflCials the details " "A possible co-opera-
tion on the part Of the Russian and French
fleets.
The correspondent points out that 1t would
be impossible for large ironclads to pass
directly through the Sound into the Baltic.
Admiral Gervais found that ne had to take
the route Of the Great BELT ana to pass the
Gulf Of Mcckenburg. THIS, In time OF war,
would expose u fleet desiring to assist Russia,
on Russian vessels wanting to attack the
German coast, To an encounter with the Ger

improvements on the Depot.

A good deal Of complaint has been
made recently, and is still being, for
that matter, about the depot accomo-
dations furnished by the East Tennes-
see, Virginia & Georgia Railroad Co.,
at this place, and good is already re-
sulting. Mr. Strain has nearly dou.
bled the space 81 the lady's, gents
aud colored waiting room by remov-
ing the partition that cuts off the tele-
graph Office and adding it, space Of
6xS feet, to the combination waiting
room. There is room Immediately
in the rear Of the combination room
that is at present used by George
Hickey, q grocer, as q chicken coop,
coal house and general store room as
soon as possible Mr.. Strain expects
TO enlarge his quarters by adding this.
1t will be connected by means of slid
ing doors. In the winter months
passengers can slide from one room
to another on frozen tobacco juice.
Mr.. Strain assures US, however, that
the improvement will not be confined
to the interior but that he has made
a requisition for two barrels OF lime
and as soon as it arrives the exterior
will be handsomely frescoed with
whitewash. These are the improve
ments in prog ess on the passenger
station and Office building. The build
ing just TO the right is not cologne
factory as great many people im'
agine but is the freight house and it,
too, is to be "retouched." The most
noticeable change that is to be made
is that the pine plank now nailed
across the oriel window in the west
end are to be replace by quartered oak,
! finished natural, slab side out. The
"fgapiug Wounds" in the sides oil the
structure, made by times remorseless
hand, in removing, by means of dry
rot, the strips that cover the distances
between the planks that form the
body will be recovered SO that owls
and bats will find some trouble in en-
tering their haunts for some time at
least. II the lime holds out the f eight
house will also receive a white coat
but the rubbish on the platform will

men,s are made they will be duly
