The strife for the possession of the celebrated
York-Pomcroy $7,000, which has been going on
in the courts for two years, was tinsliy detcr-
mined to-ilav. A the suits relatim? to the
money were withdrawn, and the attorneys'
fees and costs Incurred by the county in car
rying on the criminal action against Pomeroy
were paid out of it, and the remainder,
amounting to $5,000, was given back to Col
onel York, who in turn passed it oyer to
Pomeroy's attorney. Of course this arrange
ment does not directly affect the prosecution
for bribery now pending against Pomeroy,

shall be dismissed when the court conrcnes,

In tho center, occupyinr about two-tllrd
the area of tho plaza, a rinj? has been railed
off, mid it Is within tho contlnes of this
ring that tho bull-llht Is to take place.
In one corner of tho square Is stationed a
band of "music" was tho Hrat word
which supKcsted ltpolf, but to give n more
accurate Idea, It Is better to say " Instru

from the players are without harmony or

'lhe scene before us was a most animated
one. The weather was line, and ns mild
as a May day in the Südes. This being
the case, tho Seuoras and Senorltas had

tint of tho rainbow wa3 represented In tho
colors of tho dresses and mantillos. or
rather head-gear, of the ladles in the bal

none the less gay. Just outsldu of the in
closed circle was a sort of box, something
like n " judge box" at a race meeting, in
which the Master f the Ceremonies"
was seated. Just as we aro seated, a pro
cession of Picadores, Chutos, and Bander
illoa passes round the Inclosure. Tito pro
cession is followed at a short distance by
the Eapada, who, as well as tho Chulos and
Jianderillos, (dart-carriers, whoso olllcc It
is to stick little darts one on each side of
the neck of the bull), is on foot. The Pic
adores are mounted, and carry long lances,
tho use of which will be atlerwartls ex
plained. The Chulos carry gaudy-colored
cloaks to attract the attention of the bull.
in case he succeeds in dismounting one of
tne Icadore8, which is olten the case.
All the performers are dressed in the gau
diest colors imaginable. The E&pada (or
executioner) is armed with a sword with
which he is to give the death-stroke to the
poor beast when the proper time arrives,
or Is called Into the circle to dispatch some
unfortunate horse who has been mortally
wounded in the conllict.
THK FIGHT.
A horu is sounded, and Immediately tho
band ceases; complete silence reigns iu
the plaza, and every body is on tho tip-toe
of expectation. The only occupants of
the inclosed space now are tjie four ju'ea
dorts who take up their station about half
way across tho circle. They sit motionless
upon their horses, standlntr about live
yards apart in a line facing the opening in
the inclosure by which the bull will enter.
a narrow piussage runs irom the inclosure
to a court-yard beneath one of tho houses
in the plaza. In this court the bull is con
lined. With an amount of formality dilll
cult to understand or appreciate, the Mas
ter of the Ceremonies hands tho key ol
the court-yard to an attendant. The door
is opened and immediately afterward the
bull rushes forth. Charging at tho centre
horseman, he is received on the. point of
his lance, the steel tip of which is about
an Inch long, and turning his horse sud
denly to the left, ho "caroms" the animal,
as It were, on to tho next picadore, who
wards oil' the charge in a similar manner.
Thus was the poor aiiiinal passed from
picadore to picadore, until one of the men
missed his lence, and the bull rolled horse
and rider on the ground. Tho rider
escaped, but a horrid gash in the side of
ne poor norse toiu a sad tale. The horses
vcre blinded by bandasres round the eves.
so that they could bo brought to face the
bull. Most of them were worn out brutu
that were of little or no use but for the
purpose of satisfying the Spainard's ap
petite for bloodshed. The inclosure was
covered with blood ten minutes after the
bull had entered It, as were also tho horses
and picadore. One of these men wns
thrown by the bull right up into the bal
cony of one of the houses surround
ing thesquare. He landed there upon his
hands and feet, and a couple of minutes
afterward he ptitiriri tho nnnii nmi r.
mounted his horse. It Is not mv inten -

time at any great length, for tho details
connected with a Spanish bull-tight are
particularly disgusting. After the animal
had been tortured sulliclently by the pica
dores they retired, and the bandtlleros en
tered the ring. There were three of these
men, and one after the other they stuck
little darts on each side of the bull's neck.
The poor animal, Infuriated before, was
now perfectly mad with rage, and a cou
ple ol minutes afterward the bandilltros
left, and the espada was alone with the
bull. He was armed with a long thin
sword, and carried u llamlng n d cloak in
his left hand. At the moment he entered
the circle, the hull, covered with foam and
blood, was pawing the ground in rage and
agony. He made straight at the espada
with head lowered and tail erect. There
were no chulos now to wave tin ir cloaks
In the face of the animal for the purpose
of drawing him from the charge. It was
simply a contest between one man. and
the hull, if the former lostfifs presence
of mind, and failed to morullly wound
ho hull at thellrst thrust, the nrob.ibllitr
is that he would have been gored to death.
This would have amused tho spectators
greatly, as the excitement would, of
course, have been Intense. Another enpa
da was waiting just outside tne ring
to give the llnal coup to the
bull if the other one failed In doing
so. A priest was aNo standing near pro
vided with the ' Host," which he would
have heen called upon to administer to the
man had he been Ferlously injured. This
proceeding was not necessary, for tho bull
dashed at the cloak which tho man held
out at arm's longth. So furious wu his
charge that his horns pierced the wooden
paling that surrounded the ring. At the
same moment tho espada plunged his
sword tip to the hilt Into the dody of the
animal, wounding him just behind the
shoulder. Immediately withdrawing the
weapon he thrut it once again into the
poor beast, whose legs gave several ppas
modic kicks; n sudden eonvtiMvo trem
bling passed througk 'the nnhnal's body,
and it was n corpse. The spectators
cheered loudly, tho band of instruments
struck- up a lively nlr, and a troop ol
mules, gaily decked tint in rmbons ami

Tho espada disentangled his cloak from

twenty minutes another bull was intro
duced, but your correspondent had seen
enough of bull-fighting, apd loft tho plaza

Moral. Do not go to a Spanish bull
light it couple of hours before taking n
short trip on tho ocean. If you do, sea
sickness Is the inevitable result.
A Needle in tho Heart.
The San Franslsco Chronicle says . A
little slx-yeur-old daughter of Colonel J.
D. Jeil'ress, whoso residence Is tit 101
Washington Street, died lust Sunday In a
very painful and curious manner. On
Friday tho little ono was playing at sew
ing. Some nolso in tho street made her
run to the window, and, In true house
wifery style, she stuck the needle in the
bosom ol her dress for safe keeping. In
leanlng.over the sill her weight drove tho
needle Into her breast, immediately over
the heart. The child screamed, and in her
efforts to draw tho needle out broke it off
short. Dr. Charles McQuestcn was called
as poon as possible. The messenger was
not sulliclently Intelligent to explain tho
trouble, and the Doctor, thinking It some
ordinary childish complaint, took witlt
him no surgical Instruments. This occa
sioned a delay of half an hour, as the phy
sician had to return to his olllcc. lie put
tho child under tho Influence of chloro
form. Search was made for the fragment
of jsteel. Tho breast was laid open to the
bone immediately over tho wound. Part
of tho needle was found In tho bone, but
the strugglo of tho little one had broken
off tho point, which hnd penetrated tho
cavity of tho chest and was thus beyond
the reach of tho surgeon's knife. It was
hoped that the bit of steel would not touch
the heart but And Its way into the circula
tion and out, as has so frequently happen
ed in similar cases. The child did not ap
pear to suffer greatly and the fears of tho
parents were almost allayed. On Sunday,
when Mrs. Jellress returned from church,
Viola ran to meet her oulte mill v and in
apparent health. The next moment, how
ever, tho child was seized with a vomiting
lit, and in less than an hour was dead.
Dr. McQuestcn, in company with Dr.
Hird, tuade a post mortem examination
and found that the needle-point had pene
trated the right ventricle of the heart, thus
causing death. Tho poor child had fre
quently complained of great pain ns she
breathed, and her sullerinL'S from the con.
stunt irritation must have been Intense.
Itcmoval of a TapcWorm.
A writer in tho Druaaisis1 Circular snvR
that in treating some cases of tape-worm
ho has employed no preliminary n revi
sions beyond forbidding the patient to
take any breakfast tho day on which it is
Intended to remove the worm, and giving
hhn a large dose of Hochello salts the pre
ceding night. At ten o'clock in the morn
ing a dose is given made of one-halt ounce
of bark of pomegranate root, one-half
drachm pumpkin seed, one drachm ethe
real extract of male fem, one-half drachm
powered ergot, two drachms powered
gum arable, and two drops croton oil. The
pomegranate bark and pumpkin seed aro
thoroughly bruised, and. with the ergot,
boiled in eight ounces ol water for fifteen
minutes, then strained through a coarse
cloth. The croton oil Is first rubbed up
with the acacia and extract of male fern,
and then formed Into an emulsion with
the decoction. In each case the worm
was expelled alive and entire within two
hours. In each case, too, the worm was
passed with the head llnnly fastened to
the side of Its body at about the widest
part, from which It was with dilllculty re
moved. THK MARKETS.
