A Lady Taken Seriously Ill at the Ale
gheny Lookup.
Yesterday afternoon an elderly woman,
well dressed and of refined appearance, en-
tered house on Cedar avenue near Ohio
street, Allegheny, and seated herself in the
parlor. She was shortly after discovered
and questioned as to her object. She de-
clined to answer any questions and refused
to leave the house. An officer was called
and she was taken to the Allegheny central
station.
Shortly after this she became sick and a
physician was summoned. Nothing that
was done for her seemed to be of benefit,
and early in the evening she was removed
to the Allegheny General Hospital. At
that institution she seemed to grow worse
and had hemorrhage, but the cause of her
illness could not be learned At late hour
last night she appeared to be in very seri-
Gus condition.

The Zoo Will Be Changed.

The Schenley Park Zoo will not always
remain at the head of Panther Hollow,
where it is now located. Chief Bigelow
thinks it is too far away from the main
entrance of the park. As it Is one of the
chief attractions of the place the object is to
locate it in a place as easily accessible as
possible. Chief Bigelow is of the opinion
that the zoo should be placed near Joncaire
street in the hollow below the park bridge.

with ms advent the news of an at

CONSERVATION. The story is that last
night an attempt was made with a

bridge at Rosenthal, a suburb oi
Reiehenberg. This is said to have
occurred shortly before the EmPer-

Some railroad watchmen said they

How It Is Handled.

WAsHINGToS, OCTOBER 1.-The Di-
rector of the Mint, vito the approval
of the Secretary Of the Treasury, has
issued instructions to the superinten-
dent of the assay Office at New York,
that in case OF deposits Of foreign gold
or bars such approximation of value,
as in the discretion of the superinten'
dent may De regarded safe, not to ex-
ceed 80 per cent Of the value, be paid
pending the melt assay. The purpose
Of this regulation is TO encourage az
far as can be legally done, the impoF-
tation Of foreign gold into the United
States by allowing importers spot casf
value for foreign gold as soon as re-
ceived, instead Of requiring them tc
wait while deposits are being melted
and the exact gold determined.
