Fountain Found ut Last.

About two weeks ago Mr.. Joseph A.
WingteId, Superintendent OF Public
Grounds and Buildings and Register OF
the Land Office, set a force OF hands at
work in the Capitol Square for the purpose
Of tracing the fount OF the water that used
to pour out Of a bydrant ut the corner OF
Twelfth and Franklin streets, at the edge
OF the Capitol Square. The work was
commenced here. and the pipe which con-
Quoted the water from the spring was
found easily, only few feet from the sur
face. The line OF the pipe was westward
until the large fountain in the Square was
nearly reached; then it took a northern
course, at right angles, and then, as the
work advanced, 1t became heavier. the
pipe being found deeper and deeper under
the ground as the work went on.
Many OF The old citizens came around TO
tell Mr.. Wingtield the locality OF the spring
for which he was so perseyeringly search
ing; but no two agreed, and, strange as
it may seem, the memory OF all was strange
ly at variance with the facts in the case,
showing that man can unload his memory
with much more ease than he can charge It,.
Mr. Wingfield kept up the work, nothing
disheartcnened, and yesterday morning his
persistent efforts were rewarded by striking
the water, which rushed with great force
from broken section Of the old pipe. 1t is a
strong spring, sending out at least twenty
gallons OF water an hour. AS soon as pos
sible the State will furnish terra-cotta pipes,
and tnen the city will lay them down to the
corner Of Twelfth street and there connect
them with the old hydrant, which for more
than twelve months has been disused.

BASEBALL.
Second Game with the Allentowns-Another
Pevrect q anne for the Virriuiaa

Second Game with the Allentowns-Another
Perfect Game for the virpinias.
r. Quite large audience was at the Vir-
eina Park yesterday afternoon to witness
the second game Of ball between the Vir-
ginias and Allentowns, which proved to be
the closest and most exciting contest that
has taken place here this season. The Du-
gan brothers formed the Virgiuias' battery,
aud Meany and Guher that OF the Allen
towns until the fourth inning, when Gu
her being disabled by foul tip from W..
Dugan's bat Conners was called upon 10
take his place, and caught the rest Of the
game without an error. 1t will be observed
from the score below that the clubs were
very nearly matched as TO batting, both
having secured five base-hits, and that the
visitors were scored with six errors. while
the. home team played perfect game.
Although, as has been said, none OF the
Virginas made an error, still Stratton de-
serves special mention for several very fine
1y-catches in the right field. Up to the
seventh inning the Virginias seemed des-
tined TO defeat. having been blanked sue
cessively, while the Allentowns had scored
one run. but on the seventh inning the
Virginias punched several bits and scored
two runs, and succeeded in getting in one
more on the eighth inning.
These clubs will have the last game OF
the series this afternoon, when Hardie, the
new catcher for the Virginias, will play.
Mr.. Hardie caught here for the first time
in the ay-before-yesterday's game, and
made quite fine impression.
The following is the official score OF yes
terday's game:
