A Steer Causes a Sensation.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. ga wild
Texas steer escaped from the Herr
Island stock yards last Friday, and
for a time created a panic in the
streets of A Allegheny. The maddened
animal traversed several of the prom
inent thoroughtares, attacking every
thing that came in its way and COM
polling pedestrians to flee for their
lives. Several persons were gOred by
the frenzied beast. One of them, q
small boy, is thought to be fatally
hurt. a party of citizens, with guns
and revOlvers, finally ran the steer
down and it was shot dead in Madi-
son avenue. The affair happened
about noon, when the streets were
crowded, and caused great excite

Refuses TO Try the Case.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. PA special to
the Evening Wisconsin from Madison
Wis, says a sensation was created
there by the sudden announcement
by Judge Siebecker that he would
not try the interest suits against the
State Treasurer because of certain
reasons which he refuses TO make
public at this time. The inference lis
that the Judge has been approached,
but whether in the way OF q straight
bribe or through political channels,
is a matter OF speculation.
Attorney General O'Connor Is
dun bounded and is aloud in his de-
nunciation of the party or parties who
have made 1t impossible for an up
right judge to try the treasury suits.
Judge Siebecker states that If he
made known at this time his reasons
for Withdrawing it would be impossi-
BILE to get a fair and impartial trial of
the cases in the State of Wisconsin.

The NIenger Hoax.

For several days the enterprising
morning daily has been entertaining
the idea that every day was the first
of April and therefore all Fools Day.
The TACT that the finest quality of coal
was found in the MeDger artesian
well was dilated upon every day, and
citizens opinions on the subject were
also printed.
A proposal to sink a mine $40 feet
to the coal strata was even talked of,
and all for what - a large number of
visitors called every day to see the
we'll and they were sent away to ex-
anime the coal (?) deposits, and of
course hunted up Browder. He saw
the joke, got some carbons from the
electric light station, powdered them,
put in little oil and presto! found
coal, samples Of which were carried
about by not only coal dealers but
real estate men and others, to show
what could be found in Texas soil.

Remarkable Ruins In Arizona.

PBGNIX, Ariz., Oct. 26.-The local.
antiquarlans are very much interest
ed in the discovery OF an aboriginal
fort in the valley of the ella, about
ninety miles below this city. The,
discovery was made by some miners
who became lost in the desert and
wandered 10y ii. 1t is the largest
most peculiar structure found in the
valley up TO this date, and it is ex
pected that ii will furnish some clew
to the history and identity of the orig
nal inhabitants. The ruins lie about
four and one. half miles back from the
ella river, and cover about a mile
square. In the center is the fort, still
ill Il remarkable state OF preservation,
and it would today be impregnable
without cannon. 1t covers an area of
about six acres, and is built in very
peculiar way. The first table is about
20 feet ia height, and is made of dirt,
with a wall of powders laid in cement
around to outside. On top OF this,
and of the same height, though only
half the size otherwise, is the second,

The edges OF the tower tables were
used as gardens, aud around the
walls are hundreds of powders

for the purpose of casting down on
the heads OF foe. In the top fort are
many skeletons and human bones,

miles in length runs by the base of
this structure and brings water from

up and no water runs through it. Itis
in one of the most desert parts of the
Territory, and no one has ever found

Many Persons Interested in New
York Building Associations.
New YORK, Oct. 26 -Chas. r. Hall,
who is in charge of the Building and
Loan Bureau of the Banking Depart
ment of this state, in speaking of the
work OF his bureau said that there are
500, 900 persons IN this state interested
in building and loan associations, and
that there is S2O,OOO,O0O deposited in
the treasures of these organizations.
There has been a steady increase
in the assets of these association in
the past year" said he, land they, as
as q whole are prosperous, AS re-
suit Ofinefficient and careless over
sight of the actual workings OF the
associations in some cases losses are
recorded; few have failed; in fewer
cases the officers have sqGandered q
portion of the assets. 1t is thought
Tor congrstulation by all who desire to
see.New York essentially a State of
home owners, that while there has
been amassed $4,000, 900 in the treas
uries of these associations the depos-
its in savings banks have not mater

Many of these association did not
make a report this year, as they are
required to do, but the forfeit of $40
for each day the filing of the report
is delayed after January 20 was not
imposed, as there was undoubtedly
a misconception on the part of the
officers of the delinquent organiza'
tions. In order that these officers
may be conversant with the laws
governing these associations, the
bureau has them compiled in PAM
phlet, which will he sold for S. per

EXCITEMENT IN BARCELONA.
Desperate Attempt Of Spectators to Low
or the Price of Stocks.


tBy Anglo-Americau cable 10 the Dlspatch.l
BARCELONA, SPAIN. August 3.-Great
excitement has been caused III this city by
what was for time believed 10 be revO-
lutIonarv movement on the part of the
Republican party, but which subsequent
" proved TO be a desperate attempt upon
the part of certain Spectators on the
Bourse TO bring about "a decline in the
prices of securities dealt in upon the Ex-
change. The fool-hardy daring Of the
scheme has nevar been equalled by despe-
rate spectators in this or any other coun-
try. The troops who garrison this city
were in their barracks and the usual guards
were patrOllng their posts, when band
of fifteen men, some of whom We're armed
with rifles, while others carried revOlvers
n their hands, cautiously approached the
buildings and attempted TO effect a sur
prise OF the guards. 1t being their in-
tention TO force their way into the
barracks. The sentries were vlgllant,
however. and soon discovered the ap,-
III oach of the hen. The guards ordered
Inc band TO halt aud give the countersign.
To do the latter was. of course, an i'm
possibility. and the men made rush upon
the sentries. trusting that IN the confusion
which would follow they would be able to
force their way into the barracks. AS
they ran toward the sentries they delivered
q volley from their weapons, and some OF
the guards fell TO tho ground having been
struck by the bullets of the aggressors.
The other sentries. however. stood their
ground and answered the volley from the
attackers with a fusilade from their rifles.
For short time "A regular battle was
| fought and number on both sides
were wounded. In the meantime the officers
stationed at the barracks summoned the
troops to arms, and IN a very short time
] inc attacking party found themselves sur
rounded. Resistance WAS useless and the
whole party was placed under arrest. They
will be tried by couft-martial and the
chances are that all will be shot.
