The drovers tried to get tlicm In lino again, but were uusueccKsfiil, and tlio wild beastH run n muck, fright ing women and children almost to death and creating intense excitement. They (Ins-bed through tho streets nt a terrfllo puee,!fol lowed by huudrids of people, who by their Bhotita maddened the animals to Biich an extent that they becamu extremely daijgeroUB. and tho wonder i that some fatal accidents 'did not result. Finally the steers sep arated, and the chaio was continued by citizen?, drivers and police. One of the vicious beasts ran up Chartrcs street, and at the corner of St. Louis, Mr. 0. Westerser attempted to cheek its illght by waving his hands aloft. Mr. Westerner was not acquainted with the peculiarities of the Texas steer, and the animal, truo to its instincts, made ndush straight for him, and before he could get out of the way, tossed him HIGH 12CTIIK AIH. Uo fell to tho street brulstfd and bleeding and the steer ran in as If nothing remarkable hud happened. Dr. Jlava attended the wounded man and pronounced his injuries serious but not fatal. Another one of the steers ran up to Royal 'street, and at the corner of St. Louis Mr. Mtithew llartmau threw himself into the breach. Mr. Martman had probably seen steers clowned by cow boys ami he conceived the idea that it "was nn easy tak to catch the steer by the horns, give them a twist and throw the animal to tho ground. He found out his mistake, however, and in about twoteeouds he went Hying through space. Fortuuntely he was not seri ously injured. The police of tho third precinct, al though not up in the science of beef catching, did their best and brought their pistols Into requisition, slaughter ing one of tho steers at the sugar sheds. With the assistance of numerous citi zens they tied up tho other steer at the comer of lloyul and St. Philip streets, and thus was tho third precinct freed ot tho wild animals. In the meantime tho rest of the drove hud crossed Canal street, making their way into tho first pre cinct. Mr. John White, who was standing at the corner of Union and St. Charles streets, was not active enough to avoid one of the animals, and ho was picked up and thrown into the air. Strange to say he was only slightly injured. Turning toward the woods tile steers continued their mad lllglit. and at the corner of Gusquet and 1' rankllu streets one of them was killed by Mr. J. Keller, who cut its throat with a large knife after it had been roped by home citizens. Two of the animals M AUK A DKSI'EnATK STAND at tho comer of Common and Pampart streets, and gave the police and citi zens a game light. Olllcer Hawkins, on duty in that vicinity, placed him self directly in front of one of the steers, a magnificent, bravo looking brute, and taking deliberate aim with his pistol, fired. The bullet took eflect Just over the steer's left eye, and it fell to Its knees with a bellow which struck terror to the souls of the spectators. For un instant it remained in that po sition, but for an Instant, only, and then springing to its feet with an ugil- ity woiuienui in an animal ol us size, it'madc a dash at Hawkins, forcing him to retreat. Olllcer Davis at this stage of tlio light fired and struck the steer in tlio ilank, but the wound only seemed to muddeu him tho more, and it charged on every thitiv in sight. Citizens and policemen made for shel ter, butsoon renewed tho attack, and tlio steer was finally driven into a sta ble, where it stood defiantly wutchiuir its pursuers. Some twenty shots wero fired into the animal's body before it fell, and even when it did, it fought so gallantly with its feet and horns that It was dangerous to approach within range. Another steer also made a good fight nt tile sanio corner, and was fired on by tho police officers, who had been reinforced by Olllcer Gibson and hun dreds of citizens. a nui.i.irr from a l'is'ror. crippled tliis steer's forelegs, and it was secured oy citizen jsruesc uyer. At Jho corner of Liberty and Poy lrns streets Olllcer Jlormlo had an en gagement with ono of the wild ani mals, and dropped it with a well directed pistol shot. Two of the steers, which had so fur escaped injury, Wore overtaken at Martin's saw-mill on tlio Xew Basin by stock drivers and driven to tho slaughter-house. Another one was caught at tlio corner of Gravler and Teh"oupiloulas streets and secured' wltli ropes, two ot tho steera made their way to tho Claiborne Green, and nud gavo tlio denizens of that quiet locality an opportunity to display their ability its cowboys. At the comer of Clalborno and Gravier streets they wero overhauled and lassoed. WJion they had- been thoy wore yoked to gether and tied. They managed, nowever, to got free and started down tlio street again at a run, but being yoked wero unabloto do any mischief, and wero agaiu captured and thrown. A small boy on Roman, near IJlen villo street, tried to emulate tho ex ample set by tho police and made an effort to atop ono of tho steers, which had mitdo its way to that locality, but was, of course, unsuccessful, and got knocked out lor his pains. Willi a boy's good luck ho escaped injury. Tho steer, after giving this exhibition of its vlciousness, continued on its wild race, but lis doom was Sealed, and before It had proceeded ono hundred yards anotheryoiing American threw u brick with good aim, and striking the steer iiirrwiinx Tim noitxs, knocked It down. The citizens there- .. upon dispatched tho fallen animal In ; short ortfer. After tlieoxcitement had somewhat subsided tho police impoun- . ded two of tho slccrs, and tho others -were taken care ot by the employes of the slaughter house company. . Thousands of people wero on tho street during tlio stampede, and it docs seem remiirkablo that some of them were not fatally hurt, either by the wild steers or thobulleiH from the pistols fired by Officers and citizens. Whatever ., n1 steer .made a stand nunier- :y, ous people congregated, and women and children let their curiosity get tho thebestof their judgment and wont foolishly near tiio beast. It Is stated that ouo or two mules and two horses eeri' were voted, hut fortunately l ouflv Injured. . It Ia cnt hunted there, were not over twenty steers In the stampede, yd they scattered over the city ho quickly, and doubled un (ii their track w often, that one 'would have thought that there wero hundreds of tho wild creatures at large. A LONK-LOST UIIOTHER Kotunl After nn Almence of Thlrty-l'lvo Y nri. Mt. Vernon, 111., August 21. -Tho absorbing topic of conversation in this city at the present time Is tho solving of a mysterious disappearance, which occurred thirty-five years since, the history of which briefly Is as follows: In the spring of 1843Thomn8 M. Casey and John M. Walters left Mt. Vernon with a drove of horses and mules for the Southern markets. Walters re marked to a lady friend as he mounted a horro and rode off, that slio "would never sco him again until he was a rich man." The lady took It as a Joke. Ho was but twenty-four years old then, and all ho owned was five horsest which were a part of the drove taken South. Tho stock was readily sold to the planters, and young Win ters, to the surprise of Casey when tho latter was ready to return home, de clared that he would not accompany him. Mr. Casey left Winters at some point in Louisiana, and that was the last known of him. his friends and rel atives long since believing him to bo dead. On tlio 10th inst., however, the sheriff of this county received a letter which cleared up the mystery and brought joy to more thati ono house hold. It was a letter of Inquiry as to the whereabouts of Henry Wotters, and other persons Well known here, the writing stating some of the partic ulars recited above and establishing the fact that ho was the long mourned and only brother of Henry Watters. Ho stated tbut after Mr. Casey came North on the re turn trip in '4y, he (John M. Watters) went to Mexico, where he spent seven years. Returning to Texas, he re mained there ten years, when ho trav eled into Louisiana and purchased a sugar plantation near Pattrsonvllle, where he now resides, a bachelor, in good health and circumstances at the age of 60. Henry Watters is known and resected throughout this county hs a sober, intelligent and reliable gen tleman In every respect, and is at pres ent an employe of the L. fc N. sliopsin tliis city. He served throughout tho war in the gallant GOth Illinois volun teers, and used his utmost endeavors through those long and tedious years to get the remotest tidings of the long lost brother.

The structure, which is entirely of iron, is 2,052 feet long and the height of the rail above llie beu or tlio stream, which looks like a silver thread below, is 301 feet. A drug clerk in this city, Julius Behling, is making a series of experi ments, which, if successfully carried out, will surely give him a niche in tlio temple of fume. Mr. Behling pro cured a strong umbrella with bamboo ribs, anil one nlgllt Hi July mounted the rail of a bridge, and, opening his umbrella, stepped oft' into space. Tlio distance to tlio water was perhaps llf teen feet. lie went down easily and landed in about three fe"t of water, lie then made up his mind to startle tho world by jumping oil" the great Klmctia viaduct. On Wednesday last ho went to tlio bridge with an excur sion iirty, and, stationing himself on tho structure ut Its highest point tremblingly opened a cotton umbrella. There was no breeze. Behling cave fully adjusted tho umbrella and let it drop. It did not capsize, but when half way down it .started oil' in a southerly course, and was soon lost to sight in tlio denso forest which skirts the valley. Tho next day Beh ling robbed his neighbor of a tom-cat, which lie carefully stowed away in a bag and took to tho big bridge. Tlio eat was fastened to tho handle of a Htrong umbrella and wiw sent on a trip lrom tnetopoi tiie bridge. TiioweiKiit of tho animal acted as a balance and it and the umbrella went down slowly and landed without Injury. Behling proposes to construct a largo and extra strong umbrella, and unless the author ities prevent will go to the top of the big bridge, open the umbrella and jump oil'.
