BLOODLESS BOVINE BATTLE Alleged Bull-Fight so Devoid of Sanguinary Success as to Delight Mr. Bergh, Bpecial Dispatch to The Bee. New York, August 19, 1 a. m.— The Spanish bullficht announced to take place yesterday in the Central Park areoa, terminated like its prede- ressor of a few weeks ago, in a ridicu- lous failure. Before the spectacle began an ofticer seized the arena on a trespass warrant, and turned every iving creature, except the Texas steers, out of the building and locked the doors. Finally, ths projector of the scheme p id the month'srent due, whereupon the place was attacbed by deputy sheriff, but he kindly con- ited to let the unsanguivary con- flict proceed, provided Bergh did not interfere. Bergh was there, and ap- peared delighted with the playfulness and amiability of the horned animals. About 150 spectators were preseut, including dead-beads from the sber- iffs and marshal's offices. The tor- rerios, clad in gorgeous attire, stalked into the arena. The band struck up a lively air, and Alexa Bovina was let loose. He charged on a torrerio,who quickly scaled the fence; the brute followed, and Senor Pas,the manager, happening to be in the way, stacted for him, but the Sencr scrambled to s | ], place of safety. Seven steers wer brought in succession upon the field, and occasionally, to relieve the mo- notony, a rosette would be placed by a torrerio upon the creatures fore- iread. None of the animals showed an_excossive quality of viciousness, but the torrerios’ remarkable ability in climbing the fence to avoid being , was the principal feature of the affair, for as a bull-fight it was an absurdity. ———— Murder From & Woman's Dishonor Spocial Dissatch to The Bee, Loursviie, Ky,, Avgust 19—1 s, m.—Henry Lane shot F.

The string of returning cars at first were empty, but towards noon they began to fill " with tired, perspir- ing people, returning to the city. Besides the people who went in the street-cars, an equal number went out by other ve- hicles, forming an unbroken proces- sion on Washington boulevard. Many wentalso by the Northwestern and C., B. & Q. railways, which runwith- inhalf a mile of the park. The heat at the park was very intense, and lit— tle enjoyment could be had in witnessing the drill. The same causes that spoiled tho parade yesterday and the grand ball last night are operating to mar the pleas- ure of participating in or witnessing the grand prize drill to-day, namely : The unusual heat and unwieldly crowds. Itis estimated that 50,000 pooplo wero in the park at moon.

It was reported that a small party crossed the Sonora line from Tucson on the 9th inst. some twenty-two in number. T left Tucson on the 5th, but the mili- tary were not informed till the 7th. Captain Whiteside pursued them, and on the 14th I addressed a letter tothe United States marshal, suggesting that the business of discovering and erresting such small parties be com mitted to the marahal's officers, and at the same time to give assistance when- over sssistauco might be requited. This morning, Marshal Dake and h deputy, Evans, of Tucson, came to see me, and the following order to Col. Barr is the result: *‘Marquese was last heard from at Baziltean aud is expected back in Arzosa. and proofs are roported as almost ready in tho -marshal's hands, in bis case, and they will be ready to arrest him when he comes. The United States marshal having agreed Io take upon himself the detecting and arrest- 1ng of small parties accused of violat- ingthe neutrality lawe, ho desires some aid, which you will fornish in small numbers from time to time, from the most convenient posts. This order is given under the origival in- structions of the department comman- der to prevent any violation of the neutrality laws and to arrest Marquese if found to have violated the laws. In the case of large parties, from whom assistance might be expected, you will proceed against them with the requisito force and take a United Statos marshal along, with the proper papers to hold and prosecute them under the civil laws. _Please co-cper- ate fully with ths civil authorities, Tevixe McDoNALD, Maj r-General.

Sax Fraxcisco, August 18, 4 p. m. The terrible scenes of last year have again been enacted st Eureka, Ne- vada. A terrible conflagration has visited the town and laid it in ashes. The fire started at an early hour this morning in a small frame building. A violent wind which was blowing at the time fanned the flames which quickly spread to the neighboring dwellings and stores. All efforts to stay the course of the conflagration were unavailing. The whirlwind of fire swept up the streets and gulches, Iaying the whole city under the fiery ban. The confneion and tumult was very great. There was little time for the inhabitants to remove their good: and quantities of merchandise waa t: ken info the streets only to be des troyed by the rapid advance of the flames. Several lives are believed to have been lost. The loss of property will reach £1,000,000. The fire went over the same territory destroyed by the conflgration of last year. Many families are destitute. Counterfefters' Gang Broken Up. Spocial Dispateh to Tho Bee.

It socms that he belonged to a well-or- canized gang that have lived and flour- ished in and around this city for years. Yesterday the authorities collared two of the gang namad Mar- tin and Collender. The former is a well-to-do farmer, and resides about five miles from the city. He has been looked upon as a hard-working, straight-forward man, but the evi- dence 2gainst him is conclusive. The latter individual. Dr. Collender, was formerly a member of the city council of this city, and was at oe time well- f, but through crooked whisky lost itall. Since his arrest he has com- pletely. bmkm,du_fin He aits in his cell and moang, an: "‘(\D{,(-‘mb“il'_ll that he will make a clean breast of it.

Spectal Dispatch to Tux Ban Corx, August 18—4 p. m.—A dia- bolical and dseply laid plot to blow up the military barracks in this city and to kill hundreds of people as well as to destroy an immense amount of valuable property, has been discovered just in time to prevent its execution. The great Southern & Western rail- way leading into the cily, passes directly under the Roy- al Barracks, in which there is st present sn unusually large garrison of troops, the reinforcements from England being among them. The military commander late last night received private information of a plot to blow up the turnel and thus de- stroy the barracks with the garrison. Placing himself in instant communi- cation with therailroad officials therun- ning of trains through the tunnel was susponded and a_search was made. This resulted in finding two barrels of guopowder in a recess of the tunnel CrxcisyagieCincinnatis 3, Provi- dence 5. Just beneath the barzacks.

EATTLED AND RIDICULOUS. Epectal Jispaich to The Beo | Loxvoy, Auzust 19, 1 & m.—| The authorities are in a state of per- fect and pitiful conaternation in con- sequence of the alleged discovery of a | plot to blow up the railway tunnel | and barracks. The military and con- bulary are much alarmed, although | overnment officials pretend to make figha of the discovery, but there is no dgubt but what they are in a atate of great alacm and apprehension. Soms of the precautions which are taken are ridiculously absurd. Even naws- paper roportars in tho discharge of | their duties are marched between a file of soldiers and are watched as closely as if they were Fenian prison- | ers in digrace. | MAKING CAPITAL OUT OF IT. Right Hon. William E. Forster, chief _ secretary for I-eland, on re- to blow up , immediately started for Ireland to confer with the aathor- itiea in Cork and institnte a the rougn investigation of the affair in order to defend the constabulary estimates from the attacks of the home rulers in pachavent.
