Pittsburg, Oct. %. - While frenzied
from liquor Thomas Cooper, Of Bald
win, Pa, fired his house and afterwards
shot three men who were fighting the
flames. He then took to the woods.
At one place he ordered a telegraph

the point of gun, and blocked the
trains. At another place he fired at an
unknown man, seriously wounding him.

HARRISBURG, Oct. 7s.-Hsury Ives

Pennsylvania. Mr.. Cobb will go to work
at once on the working drawings.
which probably will be ready within a
month or six weeks. Two weeks Will
be allowed contractors to bid on the
construction of the building, 80 that
work probably will be started about
Jan. /. Mr.. Cobb estimates that the
legislative building can be completed
within a year from the time of begin
ming the work. ,.-,
The successful architect designed the
fisheries building at the Worlds fair,
and is at present supervising architect
of the United States postofflce building
at Chicago. His plan carries out the
ideas of the commission regarding a
group of buildings, with the exception
that instead of scattering them over the
grounds they are all under one roof.
The departmental buildings will be at
either side of the capitol, connected
with 1t by structures that will contain
rooms for various purposes.
The main building will be surmount-
ed by a large dome. At present the
appropriation of s550,0Oo will only ad-
init Of the building Of the capitol
proper. Future legislatures will have
to provide for the wings and connect
ing buildings.
Mr.. Cobb recommends that the build
ing be constructed Of Pennsylvania
granite or marble. The framework Will
be of steel and iron. and the interior
walls. partitions and floors Of brick
and hollow tile. The interior will be
finished in marble, hardwood and
stucco.
The old material saved from the
burned building is worth 100000, and
can be utilized in the construction OF
the new structure.

Not Like Other Agents,

There were five passengers of us to take
the train at Davsburg at q o'clock in the
afternoon, but as the hour approached the
station agent got word that there had been
smash up down the road and that We
would have three or four hours to wait,
He followed his information by saying in
the most courteous manner:
"Gcntlemen, l have here q copy Of
Shakespeare, a volume of Longfcllow and
two or three novels will arrange chairs
for you on the shady side of the depot, and
you can sit and read Here arc cigars for
such ms wish them"
Our surprise was too great for uttemnce.
We smoked and read and wondered what
kind of man wo had met up with, and
at the end of an hour he came to us with
pitcher of lemonade and said:
Gentlemen, 1t is hot day. Have some
lemonade, and here are euchrc deck and o
table for such as would like to play cards !"
When ho had gone we canvasscd his
strange conduct In whispers and almost
decided that he must be light in the head.
After half IN hour or so he reappeared and
tmilingly said;
Gentlemen, Ihavc heard from the train,
You will have to wait full three hour:
yet There Is to be funeral down here
about two blocks at clock, and perhaps
you'd all like to go down and kill time -
We thanked him kindly for his thought
fulncss, but none of us cared to 60
would you care to go to n weddingp'
he continued
We thought not and assured him that
we were doing well, but at the end of an
other half hour he said:
''If you gentlemen would care to see n
dogfght to kill time and mako things
pleasant, win arrange one"
We talked the matter over and decided
against it, but thanked him for his kind
Intentions. When VIC had yet an hour to
put in, the agent brought more lemonade
and cigars and said:
Gentlemen, you must excuse this
xmash up and delay on our road. 1t has
never happened before, and hope 1t won't

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 23.-The Iowa
supreme court yesterday rendered an
important decision affecting the Legal
ity of contracts between grain specu-
lators. It declares that Contracts for
grain where the intention Is merely
speculation on the chances of the rise
or fall of the market, and no delivery Is
intended, are gambling contracts, and
void. 1t is not enough to render the
contract void that the buyer intends It
as gambling contract unless the seller
participates in that intention"

Another ,JumD in Wheat.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-Wheat yesterday
advanced to SIC. bushel under some
of the liveliest buying for several
weeks, the December and May options
sharing equally in the demand. The
market was strong from the start, but
toward the close prices were sent spin
ming under flood of buying orders.
December went up to 94hc. and May
to 93ssc., where they closed amid some
excitement. The sudden renewal of
export demand was the chief influence,
but dry weather talk from east of the
Mississippi counted heavily. There was
some talk of dollar wheat again at the
