TS.B- :PHTSBTJRG DISPATCH, FRIDAY, ' 'NOVEMBER 4, 3892.
A WILD SPANISH MOB
Smashes Windows of Conservatives
and Cry for a Republic
COLUMBUS DECORATIONS 'RUINED
Because the Queen Eegent Refused
Attend the Celebration.
to
OFFICIALS SCARED INTO RESIGNING
Madrid, Not. 3. The popalice of
Grenada were greatly disappointed at
Queen Begent Christina's refusal to visit
the city with King Alfonso after great
preparations had been made to receive
them. The feeling of disappointment
changed to one of anger, and a large mob
vent about the city and destroyed the
handsome triumphal arches that had been
erected. They set fire to the octroi offices
and stood by while they burned. Then the
mob proceeded to the stand that had been
erected for the use of the royal party dur.
ing the unveiling of a statue of Columbus,
and completely destroyed it, together with
a platform built for public use.
Finding no new mementos of the Co
lumbus celebration on which to vent their
anger, the croud assailed the bouses of the
leaders of the Conservative party with
stones, smashing the windows and doing
other damage. "While attacking the houses
someone in the crowd started the cries of
"Down with the Government;" "Long live
the Republic." The cries were takea up
by the mob, and for a time it looked as if
a serious emeute would occur.
The revolutionary cries attracted the at
tention of the Civic Guard, as the rioting
bad not done, and a body of them made a
charge upon the people, slashing right and
lett with their swords. A number of the
rioters were quite severely injured. The
mob made no resistance, and all who could
do so made ofTat the top of their speed.
Thirty of them fell into the bands ot the
Civic Guard and were locked up.
In consequence of the disturbance the
Mayor of Grenada has resigned. The Min
ister of War, Minister of Public Works and
Minister of justice, who had arranged to go
to Grenada to assist at the unveiling of the
monument, have decided to postpone their
journey, as they fear a hostile demonstra
tion. A third of the Grenada municipal
authorities are republicans.
The absence of the Quecu Regent is due
to her desire to spare King Alfonso fatigue
after his recenl illness. The Civil Governor
of Madrid has resigned in consequence of
the recent ricting in the prado, growing out
of the authorities' prohibition of an open
air concert. It is expected that the Mayor
will also resign to-day. The public is still
highly excited because of the stoppage of
the concert
UBS. SMYTH PBODTJCES WITNESSES
To Prove That the Disputed Brooch Was
Keally Her Own.
Lojtdoit, Xov. 3. The defense rested at
the conclusion of to-day's session of the
slander trial against Mrs. General Smyth.
Major General Smyth testified he believed
the brooch produced in court was4iis wife's.
She had often worn it Mrs. Smyth's
daughter gave similar testimony. Mr. Ast
ley, a jeweler, identified the brooch as one
he had sold Mrs. Smyth. Mr. Currie, a
casemaker, testified that the case in which
Mrs. Leader said she kept the case had
never been made for it. It did not fit No
jeweler would put the brooch in such a
case. Mrs. Smyth's parlor maid and house
keeper both testified as to Mrs. Leader's
visit to Mrs. Smyth in her bedroom at noon
on September 211
Miss Ethel Wheeler, who had been in
Cairo with Mrs. Leader, was then called.
She said she did not remember seeing Mrs.
Leader wear such a brooch. Sir Edward
Clarke again called Mrs. Leader and pointed
out to her the discrepancy in her testimony
wlien she said Captain French had sent her
the brooch, saying he had been on a Black
Mountain expedition, whereas, as a matter
ot lact, be did not go on the expedition until
March. 189L This closed the case lor the
defense, and Sir Edward Clarke began his
argument in behalf of Mrs. Smyth. Alter
the argument ot Mr. Lockwood in behalf of
Mrs. Leader the court adjourned for the
day.

NOTES BT MR. ARMSTRONG.
A. In game No. 375. by Mr. E. Clarke, of Liver
pool, England, Mr. Clarke thinks this move Is a
loss.
B. Still Mr. Clarke has an Idea that black hasa
lost nme; oat wait awhile.
C. Here Mr. Clarke goes S-8. but Mr. Barker
would not play such a foolish move as that: no,
sir Mr. Barker would have played as follows:
(We deem the position worthy of diagram: Mr.
Seattle, of Liverpool, draughts editor of the
Mercury, to whose column we were Indebted for the
gome. Mr. BeatUe has a great dislike to beaten
paths, and he selects his games for their originality
and we have no doubt the play of Mr. Armstrong's
will be appreciated. The critical position Is dia
gramed as follows:)

LAURENCE ABMSTROJJO,
NEW GUIDE TO THE GAME.
LEES, THE KOTED ANALTST ABD REVISER Or
PRUMUOXD'S WORKS, THE AUTHOR.
Mr. J. Gould, or Middlesbrough, has Just
Issued a work by Mr. James Lees, of Dai
mellington, which alike for quality and
quantity surpasses anything yet published,
even (rom the press of Mr. Gould, whose
"Problem Book" and "Memorable Matches"
are known the world over. This "Guide to
the Game of Draughts," it may oe briefly
stated, embraces 40 different openings, and
plves over 1,300 games and variations, be
sides many notes pointing out wins, diaws,
and notable play. For the bencUt of the
student, special attention is dlreoted to the
strongest lines or attacn ana aeiense in eacn
of the openings.
In addition to what ii usually found in
other books, a chapter of Irregular and
weak openings is given. Tnis is a novel
feature, and fine plavi given on tho "Laird
and Lady Rolusod," "Wagiain," "Waterloo,"
and other bizarre openings not to be found
in the books. That the play selected is the
best may fairly be expected, seeing it is
compiled by such a talented analyst and
writer a9 Mr. J. Lees; and a hurried run
over shows that it introduces much that has
never before been published.
A section is also devoted to useful posi
tions, all of which are of such importance to
the game that they ought to be known by
every pluyer. Notes to the same, with solu
tions, are also given.
In the arrangement of tho play Mr. Lees
has adopted tho system Urn used by -Mr.
Hill in his "Svnopsis" the handiest for ref
erence yet discovered. The work is well
printed and Dound in cloth; and the price
only is is something remarkable, even in
this era of cheap books. Tho publisher. Mr.
J. Gould, U South Street, Middlesbrough,
will send it to any address on receipt of
Is 2d.

DUSTER AT M'DONALD.
Dry Hole Reported on the McDonald Bros.'
Property An Improvement In a Well
at Gregg Station WeUs on Top of the
Sands at Underdid".
, The only well reported yesterday as com
pleted was the Devonian Oil Company's
No. 3 on the McDonald Bros.' property at
McDonald. Several days ago it was re
ported to be showing light, and yesterday
it was known to a certainty that it would
not make an oil well.
The People's Gas Company's No. 157 on
the McMurray property at Gregg station,
which was reported some time ago as good for
only 20 barrels a day.is putting out 180 barrels
every 24 hours, and has been averaging al
most that amount since it was drilled in.
They were cleaning out their No. 156 Mo
Murray yesterday afternoon. This is the
well at which the rig was burned while they
were dropping a squib to put off a shot. As
there is some doubt as to whether the shot
has been exploded the men were proceeding
very cautiously with the work.
The Wheeling Gas Company's No. 4 on the
Richard Gladden farm was on top oi the 50
foot sand last evening, in which they ex
pect to get a gas vein. This company has
located No. 2 on the Griffith and No. 1 on
the John George farm, both of whicli aro
located near Venice, five miles south of Mc
Donald. Knox Bros. & Cc's No. 2 Scott, two miles
southwest of of McDonald, is down 2,150 feet.
They were expecting the 50-foot yesterday,
in which a big gosser isa probability. It is
being drilled by Morrlssey Bro., who have
averaged 100 leet a day, which, they claim, is
the lastest time ever made in the field. Thev
expect the firth sand at 2,5!0 feet.
The Forest Oil Company will reach the
Gordon sand Monday, with good luck, at
their No. 1 on the Wallace farm. Their well
on the Turner lot east of Oakdale is due in
the firth to-morrow morning. Thev have
started to drill at No. 3 on the Sturgeon, and
are spudding in at No. 10 on the Horron
farm. The Forest's No. 6 on the Clever farm
in northest McCurdy was making 35 barrels
an hour yesterday.
