Special to the Register.
n. Steubenville, O.. August 9.-Consld-
erable interest centered in the recelv-
er's sale OF the Brilliant tube and pipe
works property this afternoon by Sher-
iff Mccoy for II. NJ Priest, receiver.
Quite a number of Brilliant citizens
were on hands, but they could not see
a ray of hope in the way of pur-
chaser who would operate. the works.
They knew that the first mortgage
bondholders had been in Brilliant fg-
uring on what ii would cost in the way
of paint. etc, TO keep the roofs and
stacks in good repair, and that they
were the most likely persons TO BUY IL.
1t turned out just as they expected:
Sheriff Mccoy read the description OF
the coal lands and rolling mill prop
erty and the amount OF appraisement'
S52.5OO. H. NJ. Priest then come for
ward and spoke Of the Offering OF THIS
property for sale by the receivers as
one of a number Of like unfortunate
occurrences in this valley In late years.
He said no doubt the appraisers TOOK
into consideration the exisNIg finan-
cial depression when they put value
on it. He said So far as he under
stood the Brilliant works represented
an outlay OF over $4,000 He said
the coal property represented nearly
46O acres Of No vein of coal, also ten
acres of surface, and this was valuable.
Under his instructions the Sheriff tried
to sell the coal property and iron works
separately to see whether they would
bring more than as an entirety, but he
got no bids on the coal property, so
he offered it as an entirety, and there
was only one bid, and that Of Attorney
George Duncan, of Bridgeport, for
Messrs G. w. Eckhart. r. w. Hazlett

Council Of Ministers in succession to
the late premier. at the expiration OF
the official nine days mourning. The
ministers fer the present will meet In
council daily.
Coli developed in the examination
before the magistrate to-day that he
succeeded in firing two shots at the
people who arrested him before he was
overpowered.
The assassin calls himself 'revo-
lutionary anarchist"
Senior Silvela, the leader Of the con-
servatives, has followed the example OF
Senior Sagasta, the Liberal leader,
Marshal Martinez de Campos, and 9TH
ers, in rendering their coincidence to
the government, while placing their
services at the disposal Of the minis
ters.
The cabinet sat until o'clock this
morning and decided to publish in the
Official Gazette to-day. which will ap-
pear with black border, the appoint
ment of Lieut.. Gen. Don Marcolo de
Azcarraga, the minister for war, as
premier ad interim.
Senior Sagasta has postponed his pro-
jected visit to this city.
In anticipation of possible disturb
ances at Barcelona, the police force OF
that city has been reinforced.
Later in the day it was announced
that the highest military honors will
be accorded the deceased at his fun
eral. The court will, however, not re-
turn here from San Sebastian, the
summer residence to attend the fun
eral ceremonies. The queen regent
will be represented at the funeral by
the Duke of Sotomayor, the chief may
or dome.
The remains will be brought here
on Tuesday.
An individual who was heard to ex-
press sympathy with the assassin OF
the premier and with his crime, has
been arrested.
Considerable activity was displayed
to-day among the republicans, who
seem to believe that their opportunity
has arrived.
The government is taking extreme
precautions to preserve order In Mad
rid and the provinces.
1t is reported in some quarters this
afternoon that Senior Pidal, the presi-
dent of the Chamber of Deputies, will
only be charged to form an interme-
diate ministry.
Ii appears this evening that Golh. the
assassin, represented himself as cores
pondent of FL Populo. The prisoner can
not be tried under the laws providing for
the trial and punishment of anarchists,
as the law is 80 framed that person
prosecuted under its provisions must have
used or attempted to use explosives in
the commission or attempt to commit
the crime charged against him. However.
there is no doubt that Coli viii be sum-
marily tried and sentenced.
The public demands the adoption of
stringent measures against anarchists
and also against those who are in SYM
pathy with them.
