BRUTAL sLUCCINc MATCH.
Bill Brannon and Jack Foggerty InduIg
in Desperate Rough and Tumble Fight

Bill Brannon and Jack Foggerty InduIg.
in "A Desperate Rough and Tumble Fight.
At midnight last night Bill Brann0n and
Jack Foggerty became involved in fight
near the corner of Pleasant and York
streets that proved to be one of the most
desperately fought and brutal battles that
has occurred in Springfield for some time
Brannon keeps a saloon on Harrison street,
and is great big tough who is etern-
ally spelling for fight. The one
he had last night promises to last him for
while.
Foggerty is a small man, but wiry as an
eel and plucky from head TO heel. The
two men were standing in a crowd on the
street when Brannan asked FOggerty TO
pay his bar bill. which amounted to S3.15.
The latter told him he would pay it if he
would go with him to his room. but he
couldn't pay it on the spot. as he had no
money with him. One of FOggertys
friends rendered BrannOn a dollar in part
then turned on Foggerty and began to abuse
him feartully, calling him all sorts Ot vile
names and Insulting him in every possible
manner. The two finally went into the
middle of the street, where Il ring was
formed, and they began to pound each other
They were surrounded by gang Of fifty or
sixty of the lowest and toughest denizens of
Springfield, who encouraged the fighters by
yelling Sic EN-" XIII him." Go it, ye
toughs;" Now ye got him." Give it to
him" The fighters finally fell
to the ground and rolled over
and over on the street, pound
ing and biting each other terribly. After
they had fought for fully five minutes one
of the byStanders rushed To the patrol box
and turned in call. Before the wagon ar
rived, however. the crowd had dispersed.
Foggerty was not much hurt, but Brannon
was badly used up and will think twice be-
fore he again tackles Il little man.

THE LATE JACOB WINcER.

Interesting sketch of HIS Active and Use
full Life and its Beautiful Conclusion.
Brief mention was made in last evenings
paper of the death Of Jacob Winger, a piO-
neeT and prominent citizen OF this city,
which occurred late Tuesday afternoon
from consumption at the residence of Theo.
Troupe, sOn-in.law of the deceased. No. 80
east Kizer street Mr.. Winger was born in
Lancaster county, Pa, Ang. 6, 1910. He
was married Dec. -, 1892, TO Miss Gather
inc Trout, and ten children were born unto
them, three of whom died in infancy and one.
Capt. Hez. Winger, February 6, 1866. from
the effects of a wound and exposure in the
war. His wife and six children of the de
ceased survive him, all of whom reside in
Springfield, save two daughters Mrs c. S.
Ramsay, of Cheboygan, Mich, and Mrs. J.
A. Sites, of Columbus, q.
In the spring of 1887 Mr.. Winger in
company with Isaac Jacobs and their
small families made their way in wagons
over the mountains and across the country
and settled IN Clark county. He at once
began to ply his trade as carpenter and
house builder with good success In ls43
he purchased and removed to farm one
mile east of town, part of which is now
occupied by the residences of Capt Hauk,
DIR. Ramsay and others. In 1850 he re
turned TO town to follow his trade. In 1852,
in company with VIM. Whteley and others,
he erected the shops lately demolished at
the northwest corner of Washington and
Limestone streets, for car-building. in
which and in subsequent manufacturing
enterprises, he engaged, including the first
reapers built in the town. for period of
fourteen years. The remaining years of
his active life were employed in house
building and improving and dealing in rea
estate. In 1859 Mr.. Winger OvertaXed his
vigorous constitution. Bronchial affection
with hemOrhageS ensued. After medical
treatment failed he quietly awaited the
progress of the diSea e to its inevitable !
close. After seventeen years of falling
health and thirteen weeks of prOstration |
death relieved him of his suffering and
opened unto him the realities of Christians |
faith. Mr.. Winger with his wife united |!
with the First Baptist church April 2l, in |
the year ls4l, during series of meetings /
conducted by RevS. EnOs French and J. l.. |
Moore, held in the old court house. 1t was |
his privilege to enjoy an unbroken church |
relationship during life and to he the last of /

Church Triumphant.

A Humane Reunesf.

A number of horses have recently been
injured in this city by stepping on the sharp
pointed wire nails which are now being used
80 largely in dry goods eases and other
boxes. These accidents are owing TO the
fact that merchants very often sweep these
nails into the street with other refuse from
their stores. 1t seems to te only just and
humane request that they exercise a little
more care in this matter. Nothing in the
wap OF sharp naif. broken glass or any
other material likely tO injure the feet OF
animals on the street, should ever be- thrown
out on the public highway. Ii ought not to
require anything more than the above hint
to prevent the dangerous habit referred to.
This request is made on behalf of prOmi-
nent members of the Society for the Pre-
ventiOn of Cruelty to Animals, and ii is
hoped it will be needed by all.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.

The Teachers Committee of the Hoard of
Education will Recommend for Re-
Election Superintendent white and All
the Old Teachers.
An important meeting of the Teachers
Committee of the Board OF Education was
held last night. The meeting was in the
nature of a secret session and was held for
the purpose of deciding about the teachers
of the schools, who are to be elected at the
meeting of the Board next Monday night.
The meeting was lengthy, but very satiStac-
tory. The merits of various teachers were
discussed for some time, but il was finally
agreed to recommend the reelection of all
the old teachers
1t has been known for several months
that there was movement on foot to OuSt
Superintendent White, but the prospects
now are that he will be reelected without
trouble The committee last night decided
10 recommend him, and there is but little
doubt that the board will sanction the rec
Ommendation and re-elect him.

DRILLING THE POLICE
Our COnstabuIary Force to be Put Through
Military Manual.

Military manual.
Chief of Police Walker is military man.
and has firm faith in the efficacy of martial
discipline. In furtherance of this idea he
last night put in operation a plan that he
has had under consideration for some time
past, namely, that of drilling the police
force in regular company drill. with all
the marching tactics. The first drill was
held last night at police headquarters. and
was very successful. although the SmallneSS
of the room interfered materially with
many of the movements. An effort will be
made 10 secure the ample &. A. K. hall for
a future police ''armOry." and if this is az
complished, it is likely that for the present
the boys in blue and brass will be put
through their PAGES every evening from 10
7:30 o'clock, just after roll-call.
Chief Walker stated last night that he
thought after the police became well drilled
it would increase the efficiency of the de
partment one hundred per cent in case of a
riot or a disturbance in which the united
effort of the force was necessary. Chief
Walker will attend to the drilling in person
and expects to have a handsome and well
trained squad of police in the memorial day

Officers Norton and NicklaS have been
working for several days almost constantly
on the robbery of the tools from the steel
works. Yesterday they went TO the resi-
dence of John Hover, on south Scott street,
hoping to find him there, but John had
taken unto himself wings and flown. He
was one of the suspected wOrkmen in the
works. The officers found quite a number
of articles that had been stolen from the
steel works, but dilligent search failed to
show up Hover. The officers know where
he is.

THE SEWER SOLUTION.
How n Repetition OF the Late Calamity
at High Street May be Obviated.

How a Repetition OF the Late Calamity
at High Street May be Obviated.
Numerous suggestions have been made as
to the best means of avoiding repetition
of the watery calamity that recently
devastated the eastern part of the city.
One is to construct sewer along Monroe
street. connecting Mill Run with the Lime
stone street sewer, which will have to be-
enlarged and run TO Buck Creek. Another
scheme is to run sewer down the railroad
yard from Mill Run, so as TO strike the
Limestone street sewer near the |. b. Il w.
general offices. A third plan is for sewer
TO follow the natural track of the water as
shown by recent food. This plan cORteni
plates sewer passing under the High street
bridge past the Eastern school, and down
Murray street to the creek. An objection
urged to this latter plan is that il forces the
low lands in that quarter to receive all the
water from more elevated parts of the city,
when it is flooded, as it is. by its own de
fective drainage.

NO HOSPITAL TAX LEVY.

The City Council Decides that the City
Cannot Without Burdening Itself Raise
Money for IA Hospital this Year.
BY close vote in council last night, the
project of making special tax levy fol
hospital purposes was showed under
Before the meeting John FooS interviewed
several members of council, includ-
ing the committee on finance, to as
certain whether they favored making
the additional levy. Prior To the terrible
deluge of last Wednesday night it seemed
quite probable that council would make the
levy which had been asked for, but the de
Structi0n of so much city property by that
storm knocked the plan colder than a
wedge.
The hospital directors wanted a levy OF
one mill, but as the levy prepared BY
the finance committee without the levy for
hospital purposes amounted Ia Il.4 mills
and the city is limited to Il mills, it was
plain that one more mill could not be added
without tranScending the limit 1t was then
proposed that 6-lO of mill be levied for
the hospital, and Mr.. Prince put that prop
oSitiOn i'll the form of mo-
ton. The motion. however, failed to
carry. Afterward l-lO of mill was added
for a right of way fund.
In conversation with some members of
council, GL"BE-REPUBLIC representative
found that there was feeling among them
that, in view of the immense amount of
money that would have to be ex-
pended u repair the damage OF
last Wednesday nights storm it would not
he advisable or practicable To make the levy
for hospital purposes this year. They were
of opinion that the taxes Were already high
enough and that the addition of even six
tenthS of mill would be really burden
