MADRID, August 2s.-The old city OF
Saragossa, capital OF the Province
Of that name. was the scene yesterday
of a serious riot, growing out OF the ais,
satisfaction Of the spectators at Dull
fight with the character OF the perform
ance. A bull that had been driven to
the ring refused, despite the efforts OF
the banderillieros, to display spirit
enough to make the fight interesting.
The spectators demanded that another
bull be furnished as a victim for the
torero. but the manager Of the ring re-
fused to replace the splritless animal
The crowd in attendance then
rose en- masse, smashed the
seats, tore the doors from their hang
iugs and set fire to the material which
they had piled in the bull ring. The nre
was extinguished by the bull ring at
tendants, and the mob began to riot
outside the bull ring. The police al
tempted to dlsperss them, and were
greeted with volleY OF stones. IL was
not until achievements arrived at the
scene Of trouble that the rioters were
dispersed. Much difficulty was met
with in driving the mob of and many OF
the rioters were wounded by the police,
who had 10 use their swords to restore
order.
There was also riot last evening at
San Sebastian, the well-known Spanish
watering place in the Province Of Guip-
uzcoa. A concert was being given on
the principal promenade OF the city and
the audience, most Of whom were
basoues, demanded that the band play
the BASQUE hamn. The leader OF the
musicians refused. The mob hooted
the players and then assaulted them.
The police and some OF the audience de-
Tended the musicians and a furious riot
resulted. The rioters were driven from
the vicinity Of the band stand, but they
proceeded in body to the hotel, where
Senior Gastel, the Prime Minister, is
staying and amused themselves by atom
ing the building. The police were I'M
able to handle the mob and troops were
summoned TO aid them. When the SOL
diers appeared they were stoned by the
mob and many OF them were cut and
bruised. An order was then given for
the troops to fire with ball cartridge
into the crowd of now frenzied rioters.
The order was promptly obeyed and two
of the rioters fell dead, while several OF
them were seriously wounded. The
prompt action Of the troops had the de-
sired effect and the mob quickly dis
persed. Throughout the night, how
ever, close watch was kept TO guard
against a recurrence Of the trouble.

NOW THEY'RE HAPPY AGAIN.

Ellsworth Had His Death Notice Printed,
but Took Zoo much Laudsnum.
WILKESBARBE, August 2s.-Edward
Ellsworth, a well-knOwn young man Of
this city, fell In love some time ago with
Agnes Smith and paid devoted atten-
ton to her. A month ago they became
engaged to be married, and the date
fixed was Oct1. Miss Smith is lively and
has many admirers, Of all Of whom Ellis
worth was jealous. The young people
had many quarrels, but always with a
happy ending until Wednesday Of this
week. Ellsworth went TO Mountain
Park, a Well-known picnic resort, and,
walking 90 the dancing platform, saw
his sweetheart in the arms Of rival.
Ellsworth called at Miss Smiths
home that night and demanded an apol-
ogy. With spirit she refused 70 admit
that she had done wrong. He gave her
twanty-fOur hours 10 consider the mat
ter, and called on Thursday night again.
She then said she would make up"
but would not apologize. He left in
towering rage, and called out; well,
you will never see me again"
At q drug store Ellsworth bought
some laUdanum, took IL TO his room,
wrote a letter OF farewell TO his sweet
heart, saying he would rather die than
lose her, and then hurried down town
TO the Record Office and had inserted
this death notice; ELLSWORTH. in
this city, August "a, of heart failure,
Edward Ellsworth, aged 90"
Returning, he swallowed the lauda-
nun and lay down to die. But it was
not so fatal. The dose was too large.
he became violently sick, physician
was summoned, and after hard WOr X
succeeded in bringing Ellsworth around.
Last night he was ia fair way to re-
cover, and to-day the story came out.
Miss Smith, on hearing OF her lovers
action, repented, and they are happy
again.

The Damaged Eye.

There are some people who have no
Imagination, but cling 70 the literal
with painful assiduity. Jim Blaisdell
was one Of these and his happy faculty
of taking things seriously lost him an
elegant wife.
1t was this way. Col. Laftte is a
southerner and very sensitive, especial
ly about his personal appearance, which
is quite distinguished. He rather liked
Jim, and Jim dotted on the ColonePs
daughter, and It was foregone con-
cluslon 10 the family that Jim would
win the girl as the father was on his
side.
One day the colonel took Jim out TO
ride behiEd his ADVANTAGEOUS Kentucky
mare, ard she kicked the dashboard of
the buggy into smithereens and landed
both gentlemen by the roadside.
This wouldn't have been so bad, as
neither Of them was hurt, and the col
onei was doing the driving, but Jim had
to discover fracture in the colonePs
right eye and he at once began to make
1 fuss about II.
Your seriously hurt, sir" he said In
his most sympathetic manner.
Nothing wrong with me-" snapped
the colonel, who was looking for the
mare in a dazed sort of way.
"But your eye, sir, is badly dam
aged"
Never mind the eye. Help me to
catch the critter."
81 must insist on bandaging your eye
first, colonel. Why, 1t is blurred mass
and I greatly fear you have lost the
sight Of IT," persisted Jim.
Look here, you young fool" reared
the colonel, can't you attend TO your
own affairs. That eye, sir, is glass-do
you hear-glass! glassW
And that is why Jim didn't marry the
colonel's daughter.
