Ran Away With Another Won Fresoxt, Neb., Dec. 10.—|Special to Tie Bie.]—It just became known here to-day that Dr. Barnes, a veterinary surgeon, who has been in business in Fremont for three or four months, has left the country, abandon- ing his wife and taking another woman with him. Two weeks ago he took his wife to Schuyler to remain at his father's house, who is a physician, during her coming con finement. He returned to this city on Mon- day evening, bringing with him a young woman naned Euos. He gave it out here on his return that while on their way to Schuy- ler his wite was taken sick at North Bend, and thay she was taken off the train there and driven to the home of Mr, Enos, north of that place, where she was being cared for by nis father, who had been sent for from Schuyler. He further said he had come back to Fremont after some subplies for his wife, and that the young woman had come along to help get them, as s wife had told her where they would be found. Barnes and the Enos woman left the city the same night, supposedly to drive baclk to the Enos place, about eighteen miles from here. The sequel to the affair came to Light to-day, when Mr. Enos came to Fremont. Barnes had taken his wife to his father's at Schuyler, as he said he was going to do when they started. Then, on his return to Fremont, he stopped off at North Bend and went to the Enos residence, where 1 rescnted that his wife expected to be sick, and persuaded Efie Enos to come with him to Iremont, ostensibly for the purppse of assisting Mrs. Barnes during her fllness, Wi 8 came to this city to-day looking for wis duughter, he found that she had not been here since the Monday night she came here with Barnes, The two drove away to- other that night, and they have not been card from since, The Enos girl, though only seventeen years old, has been married, but is not living with her husband. She had an eighteen-mouth-old babe, which she brought with her to Fremont, and which she took with her when she fled’ with Barnes, Before leaving, the horse doctor mortgaged his veterinary tools to & money lender for $50, and the feam which he ran away with, to another for €175, No steps have been taken to apprehend the pair, or rather the trio, and probably will uot be, Shot His Sister's Head Off.

Er Paso, Tex., Dec. 10,—Once a yoar the whole republic of Mexico celebrates the solemn fiesta of its patron our Lady of Guadalupe, with all the ccl The fiesta commences ou the and ends on Christmas day. 1t ates the appearanco of the Virgin Mary on a barren hill a fow miles out of the City of Mexico, at the village of Guadalupe-Hidalzo, to u poor and miserable Indian peon named 1n Diego, to whom she delivered a divine message, This was on the 0th of Pecember m the year 1531, aud shortly after the In dians were converted en masse to the Catho lic faith, Since th Lady of Guadalupe has been the Moxican patron saint, and her memory is worshipped during the greater part of December by high and low. It is one of the peculiarities of the Mexican character that with the groat mass of the people this worship takes the shape of bull and cock fighting and the wild- st kind of gambling. Of course, this does eot refer to the higher, the educated and r fined classcs, who arc ot Spanish descent, but it does apply, almost without exeéption, to three-quarters of the population, who are still of unmixed Aztoe ovigin. Thus we find that in Paso del Norte, where the population Aztee, the people are from the Oth to the 25th of December exces plous, which they prove by devoting ne the whole time to gambling, bull and cock fighting. ‘The bull fighting is the most aris- tocratic sport, and 1s only participated in by the well-to-do, for it costs a Mexi o > be uwdmitted wto the ri indigent masses ha to be con- tent” with un occusional cock fight and the countless gambling tables on the peaza where a tlaco, a local Mexican coin, worth out 13¢ cents, is considered comparatiy i stiices, and where, with o capital of cents to commence on, you can gamble tho wholo day long, and perhaps not to be ut- terly broke when evening comes. Pl first performance in the bull ring was ven on Saturday afternoon, and was par- cipated in by alimost 1,500 American spe tators, with enough Mexicans to pretuy fie test the seating capacity of the ring. torday there was a lurger uttendance of both Americaus and Mexicans, EL Paso saint, t possit of Decomber commemor strange 10 bull ring is situated in the roar of the ancient cathearal, not far from the barracks and fail in_which Cuttimg's detention and sment nearly brought o an - interna- tional embroglio. Shortly after 3 o'clock the bulk of the mili- tary company, which was stationed in a prominentand commanding position, sounded few blaring notes on the trumpet, and the gate was tirown open for the entering rish of the first bull ~ His advent is calmly awaited by the professional fighting troupe, eight or tén young men of splcndid physique; active and ‘agile, and dressed in rich showy costumes bright sillc and sily braid, Two of them are mounted on small, rather poor, but active pouies. These two arc the picadores, and they are armed with short and neavy lances. The horse's right s @ thé pic s left leg are protected 1 side of thick sole leather that haug loosely down nearly to the ground and breaks the force of the furions thrusts which the bullinilicts with his horn. The right ey horse, the poor animal which is th participant that is exposed to any j. ticalar danger, is bandaged so that hie is up- 0 sec the rushing onslaught of his a ant, and has to be” guided in his move- ments eutirely by the rider. Four of the bull fighters are on foot, holding in thei hands and waving in the bull's face large red blankets. Thesc arc the banderiileros, and their function is to worry and infuriato_the bull and stick into his sides the banderillos, cruel iron bars decked out with claborate paper flowery ornatents and a_profusion of gold and silver tinsel. Besides these there were in_yesterday’s performance mounted banderillos, quite a daring innovation; a ma- tador, or espada, whose ofiice is to dipatch the buil with a well-directed sword-tnrust when ho has been sufiiciently worriod and tortured. As a speeial atieaction there is, also, during tl ut bull-fighting scasen, Antonio Fuentes, who jumps over the rusht ing bulls back with the aidof a long pole. Tlhie leap is a perilous one. When the first bull rushed in the two pica- dors were stationed each al one side of the gate, while fronting it, ranged in a line, were the bunderilleros, each with his blanket cx- tended and inviting the first onslaught. As the bull dashes through the gate an_ attend- ant concealed behind it sticks a short, sharp barb into his back to thoroughly livén him up and lev bim know whatis in store for him. With foaming muzzle he makes for the nearest red blanket. The nimble Mexican for whow he goes jumps quickly aside and escapes the vicious thrust that the horns of the animul make at him, The bull tries the next blanket with equally poor success, then dashies to the outer side of the arena, turns around, eyes his foes for a moment, and akes for the ncarest horse, which animal _receives the full forco 'of tho mad rush on his side, but, protected by tho ther shicld, is only thrown aside n against toe wooden fence, but not before the picador has had a chance to thrust his pike into the bull's tough hide, making an ugly and no doubt very painful we from which the red blood spouts inte th Fhe animal is about to renew the attac two or three of the bande s throw themselves in his front and with their blark- ets divert his atfention. He now goos for the other horse, strikes the leather shield, and by the sheer force of his wild rush throws him off his fect and sends him rolling and kicking in the sand, but before the bull can attack and gore him in his helpless con dition the nimble banderilieros jump be- tween, shout at the bull, beat him’ over tho head with their rea blankets and draw him off. Meanwhile he has received another deep gash in his tough skin, Meanwhile the sadly batiered horse and the two picadors arc given 4 chance o es- cape through the side gate and the banderil- leros now get intheir v of them arms himself with a couple of th decorated darts, which he succeeds in stick- 1 into the animal’s neck. To do this prop- rly and neatly, two at a time, one on each sido of the neck, requnires skill, courage and quickness of no ordinary degree: but it is done in first-rate style, ‘the banderilleros jumping nearly in front of the maddened animal and afixing the dart so quickly that the bull has no tiwe to cateh him on his horns, so nimbly jumps the Mexican aside, Among the spectators yesterday was o party of ladies dressed in the latest fashion, andin rich bluck silks, cheperoued by an elderly gentleman who, I'am informed, is at the head 0f a big manufacturing establish- ment in Philadelphia, and who is taking his family to Los Angeles to spend tue winter. They were not Quakers—for their dress in- dicated that—but at home they are no doubt the pink of propriely, probably prominent members of the church and of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, But they took their seats here apparently without compunction, seemingly oblivious to the fact that ‘the speciacle they were about to witness was oue of brutal cruelty and abhorrent baroarity, and at exciting periods in tho performance, while the Mexican part of the audience were frantic with iferous delight, @ casual glauce at the Philadelphia manufac- turer's family revealed the fact that, instoad of being disgusted and horrified, they had caught the infection of the moment, and the ladies of the party, with flushed faces and sparkling eyes, were shouting and appland- ing equal to the rest, Sowe of the leading judicial autborities of El Paso gud many of 1ts promiuent church pillars wée doing the SRO. — The Weather Indications.

In his opinion the Amorican people demanded that 1f its power was to be shown, it should be shown against its equals, not against its inferiors, Mr. Gray moved that the resolution be re. ferred to the committ penses, and it red. He would not, he suid, have objected to its immediate con sideration bui- for the aptitude assumed by the senator from Massuchusetts d the re- murks with which he 1 o aecom- pany the resolution.

Mr. McPhorson d sired to offer some wbinent at_the begiu- ning of the metal schedules, Mr. Harris temporarily withdrew the amendment. M. McPherson thereupou moved to amend para- ph 120 as to iron in pigs, ete., by reduecing te of duty from 310 of a cent per pound 10 6 per ton. Mr. Allison opposed tho it was rejected—y )\ nays Mr. Plumb voted withi the 1 the negative, Mr. McPherson moved to amend the pro- vison in paragraph 122 (reforrig to iron burs, bloows or bilicts, in which charcoul is used as fuel) vy reducing the duty frowm ver ton to %20 per ton.

Harris renewed the amendment to re- duce the duty on boams, girders, joists, ungies, ete, from 11-10 cents ver pound to U-10 cents, Mr, Vest argued in support of the amend- ment and said that there was no item in t bill on which the two par- ties could better join issucs than this one. He spoke of Carnegie's profit on 30,000 tons of stacl beans manufae tured in one year as over $1,000,000, and de scribed the stecl trust in this country as on “houry with age.” How long, he asked, was that tiust to exist! Mr, Sherman desived to state, once for all, the ground of his several votcs on the bill, because it was neither amatter of pleasure for the scnate nor & matter of public utility to waste time 1n repeating over aud ove ugain the same argurent on difforent clauses of the bill. Undoubtedly the Mills bul repre sented the eencral seutiment of the demo- cratic party, while the senate substitute had been carried before the United States and there dobated, advocated aud supported by the republican party. One bill looked to tarift for reyenue only; the other to tariff for pro- tection. The 1110 cents per pound might be a little too high on some articles, bub it had been fixed upon by the finance commit tee as a fair average rafe. Asto Carnegle's mouopoly, he (Sherman) knew nothing about it, excepting that Carnegie had been the first in this country to apply the continy ous process In the wanufaciure of stocl beams.
