STRUCK OIL.
An Alleged Find of Petroleum in a
Suburb of Chicago.

AN Alleged EInu OF EeCrO1eum IN a
suburb of Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Much excitement was
created to-day in the northern suburb of
Lakeview, by the announcement that Pc
troleum flowing in large quantities
had been discovered on the prairie
near the corner Of Terry and Noble streets.
The Importance of such a find was manifest
when taken in connection with the proximity
of the city's great manufacturing establish
ments. Upon Investigation it was found
that five years ago some gentlemen
purchased ten-acre clay bank
in Lakeview at the place named, and
have been turning out large quantities
of brick ever since. About year
ago there was noticed among the lower strata
of clay black, sticky substance resembling
printers ink and having a decided odor of
petroleum. Very little attention was paid to
the matter until within the last six weeks.
On Wednesday small bubbling was noticed
in three places, and close examination
showed that the spasms which were at inter-
walls of five minutes threw to the surface al
ternate yields of water aud the matter in
question. To-day Capt. Villars of the lake
police took two Pennsylvania oil prospectors
out to the find, and they agreed that
it was pure petroleum, but could form
no idea as to whether or not it was
to be found in paying quantities. Another
man, whose name is withheld offered the
firm 0,000 for the ten acres, but was an
swered that leaving out the possibility of oil
the tract was worth to them for brick-making
purposes more than the amount
named. The firm are apparently
skeptical in regard to the alleged find, but
the people in the neighborhood are highly
wrought up. Near the clay bank is huge
fiat rock, several hundred square feet of
which is exposed to view. 1t is asserted to-
night by persons who claim to know that the
rock is strongly impregnated with natural

TROUBLE I'm THE AIR.
A Row That Called Four Policemen
But Was Settled O uietIY.

Ut w as SeEtteu uleEIYs
A beautiful brick residence on Minnesota
street was besieged with beer bottles at an
early hour yesterday morning, Two women,
remarkable for their absence of wearing ap-
parel, laid the siege. The brick residence
was garrisoned by a young woman and a
young man, who did nothing more
than keep out Of sight and listen to horri-
bly, vile ep1thets, with which the assaulting
party disturbed the morning air and awoke
the peacefnl neighbors. a telephone mes
sage called out two officers from police head
quarters, who when they arrived found two
others before them. The officers who were
on the scene first trang the bell and young
man admitted them. The garrison told the
officers they did dot wish to have anybody
arrested, so the investigation closed.
Soon afterward woman's voice was heard,
plaintive and reproachful, in frame house

A Storm inRansas

ST. LOUIS, Aug. Ga special from To-
peka, Kan, says: A telegram was re-
ceived here last evening saying that cy-
clone had struck the town of Hartland and
had demolished twenty houses and done
great damage to growing crops. Sixteen
cars were blown from the Atchson Topeka
& Santa Fe tracks and telegraph wires
were Frustrated for two miles west of the
town. The extent of the damage has not
yet been learned, but the dispatch
stated that no one, SO far as known, had
been seriously injured. The storm reached
other towns in the vicinity of Hartland. but
the wires being down, its effect cannot be
learned. The storm came very suddenly
from the west and seemed to follow the
course of the Arkansas river. 1t spent its
greatest fury in the vicinity of the Atchison.
Topeka d Santa Fe railway, and train of
sixteen freight cars was blown from the
track. Strange to say, however, none of
the railroad employees were hurt. 1t is
impossible at this time to say how much
damage has been done. The wires are
still down.

Evidence Pilimg UP Against the New
York Commissioner Of Public
Works.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The examination by
Mayor Grace into the charges against Com
missioner Squire was continued to-day. Sew
eral witnesses testified regarding their knowl-
edge of the agreement entered into by Squire
and Flynn, whereby the former placed the
control of the office of commissioner of public
works at the latter's disposal. The most in
teresting testimony was that given by eX-
Mayor Edison.
He told how he had sent in the nomination
of Gen. Fitz John Porter to the board Of al
dermen, but there was some difficulty about
his confirmation. There was no organization
in the board of aldermen upon which witness
could rely. He had no party acting with
him. Witness told how he first met Squire.
and said that he understood that his stand
ing in Boston was good Squire believed that
enough County Democrats and Tammany
hall men would vote for him to effect his
confirmation. Question: Why did you act
so hastily ut the last moment in nominating
Squire? Answer: Because I hoped that my
nomination might be confirmed, and thereby
man put out of the Office of the department
of public works who was not fit to be in it.
Question: You mean Mr.. Thompson? An
swer: Yes, sir. John o Brien, chairman of
the Democratic state committee and q
contractor having IN charge the building OF
the new aqueduct since 1884, was the next
witness. He said he knew Flynn, but not in
a business way. In 1884 he talked with Mayor
Edison about the new commissioner of public
works. The mayor asked if the witness
could not agree with Brown, Howard s. Co.,
who were also contractors, and divide the
profits. The witness said he could not, and
then the mayor asked if he had any influence
over any aldermen. Witness replied he
thought he could control two.
The hearing was adjourned to Monday. The
rumors of warrants having been issued for
the arrest of Rollin NJ. Squire and Maurice B.
Flynn were set at rest in measure late to-
day when it became known that the mayors
hearing had gone over for the day, and Still
no arrests were made.
