Blanek wa ugly at the long-drawn-out trial, and wa watching for the first oppor tunity to escape, which be thought pre sented itself while he wa being taked upstair to the courtroom between two guard. One guard had a pair of nip-; per around hi right wrist and tbe other was walking at his side. Suddenly Blanck struck tbe man who bad the nippers on the jaw, knocking him down the stairs. The other guard Jumped after them and grabbed Blanck by the collar. A fierce fight ensued, in which the prisoner was finally floored by blow on tbe. right temple from ft revolver in the hands of the guard he bad first struck. Blood covered the marble floor at the base of the stairs, and the prisoner left trail of blood on the way back to the jailer', office. -- : ' ; ' After he was ready to go again to court he became sullen, and refused to move.

The fight lasted three minutes, snA it took five men to overpower him. He still refused to go to court, and it was only by the combined force of four men that he was taken in. His counsel presented no wit nesses. This was a great surprise, as it was expected a strong fight would be made on the ineanitv plea.

Baoaaaa It Wa Faaaed the Bngiian Shareholders Made Inquiries. San Fhancisco', October 20. Q. L. Lansing, Secretary and Controller of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, when asked about the troubles which are now worrying tbe English shareholders, saw : i' km l nnrinratjinrf it. them English shareholders are becoming anxious about the condition of tbe road. : xbev nave received no dividend fora year, and tnere is no prospect ot another dividend in the near future. Tbe reason is easily explained. , The earnings of the road will not permit it. I ne laei uiymenu was paid September 15, 1893. Owing to the general depression of business the semi annual dividend, which was expected laat anrine. was permitted to lapse, and pending a settlement of the government indebtedness, no more aivioonua wiu ue paid. Under tbe old lease tne eouwern Pacific was obliged to pay the Central PauHflftahajreholders an annual dividend of 2 ner cent, payable semi-annually. wneiner ine earnings oi uio raw nuu- fied it or not. Under the new lease the Southern Pacific is bound by no sucb obligation, and as the Central Pacific's earnings win no permi a omuouu, there is no dividend to pay." It is said the English shareholders may attempt to have a receiver appointed over the Central Pacific, but Secretary Lansing Bays that such a thing would be im possible. "Any creditor could take steps to have ft receiver appointed," he said, " but the English shareholders are not creditors; tbey are in me company, They have no recourse." . . DyNAMlTK IK WW TOBK.
