SATISFYING A DOUBTER.
How the Town Marshal OF North
hudson Learned Something.

The only man in America who ap-
pears to have made anything out of the
McAuliffe-Myer meeting was Mr.. Bill
Skakel, the we'll known clock manufac-
turer, says the Chicago Tribune. Mr..
Skakel came out 5000 ahead, and he was
satisfied to call it draw. 1t was Mr..
Skakel's task to go down to North Jud-
son to placate the authorities. and while
on his mission he fell in with the
efficient town marshal. Mr.. Skakel
and the efficient town mar
shal became warm friends. The efficient
town marshal helped to put up the
ropes, and he met the train at the sta
ton and presented the party with the
freedom of North Judson. But when
the fight began the efficient town mar
shall discovered that it was contrary to
the laws of the state of Indiana Mr..
Mcdonald handed him 500 and showed
him that he had made mistake. The
efficient town marshal apOlogized for
his error and went away. Outside ne
consulted further authorities and dis
covered wherein the fight offended the
peace and dignity of Lake county. In

Won der Abe in Trouble.

President Won der Abe, Of the st.
Louis Browns, is having no end of
trouble in signing his players for the
coming season. A few days ago the
"boss'' manager issued his ultimatum
to the players. Regarding the prize
money won from the association, he
says he will divide it among the players
who have not ''libeled" him. Nearly
every man on the team has grievance,
and whether the action is concerted
or individual one the result is the same.
They are keeping away from the s'boss"
president, and seem to be supremely
ignorant of the fact that there is such a
club as the Browns.

An Item for Ben,

Andrus got his release from the
Hamilton club last season in a some
what novel way, says the Toronto Mail,
The club owed him several weeks
salary, and he got his release in lieu
thereof. He, however, did not lose this
sum, as Buffalo made it good. The
only club that is indebted to Andrus is
the Minneapolis club, with which he
played in 1884, when Ben Tuthill was
its manager.

Sam Blakelock, the English light

Sullivan's ''chair" in the fight at Chan

simply rinsed his mouth with Apolli-

pints of brandy during the fight. A man

he made up for it, but the chump

CHICAGO'S DANGER.
Saturday Nights Storm Likely to Result in
Widespread Disease and Death.

CHICAGO, July 30.-Grave fears are enter
night may result in frightful sickness and
epidemic throughout the city. The sew
age of Chicago. ordinarily, flows down the
ChicagOinto the Desplaines, and thence into
the Illinois. But SO gradual is the fall of
the river southwark to the divide that the
enormous rainfall of Saturday night started
the flow upward and into the lake. The
filthy water from the Chicago river is now
within very short distance of the crib,
and is still creeping toward it in spite of a
strong northeast wind. Sunday and yes
terday, when there was a strong current in
the river, reaching. at one time, rate of
over ten miles an hour, the current did not
extend very much beyond the breakwater,
and was blown toward the shore
BY by the 1ss wind va I1HIday' With howsEeT
slush to within nearly q fourth of a mile
of the crib. and the Contamination seemed
to be stealing its way to the source of water
supply gradually but surely.
Mayor Cregier, in company, with Alder
men Vierling, l.. b. Dixon and. HOrneE to-
gether with Chief Engineer WEIGH, of the
NOrth-side water-wOrks, and Professor
Long. the chemist, made a tour of inspec-
ton to the crib. and found the water almost
black for some distance out. "A gray streak
could be distinctly seen almost to the crib
There was still a current in the river flow
ing into the lake at the rate of about two
miles an hour, and a large amount of refuse
matter accompanied the river in its journey
to the source of Chicago's water-supply.
The bodies of several dead dogs and two
dead cats were seen floating leisurely under
Dearborn-street bridge. and large amount
of garbage was also passing out into
the Take. Every paper in the city is sound
ing the alarm, and the gravest apprehen-
sions are felt.

A WOMAN'S LONG WALK.
She Pushes Cart Containing Two Children
from Johnstown, Pa, to Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o., July 30.-A peculiar con-
yeyance halted in front of the City Hall
this morning. A woman. plainly dressed,
and little girl about fifteen years of age
were Juggling along at rickety and dust
covered hand-cart, In which were seated
two bright-looking children, with sunburnt
faces and ragged clothes. The woman
grasped the handle of the cart with her left
hand, while her right arm was clasped
about an infant but few months old. The
outfit presented a somewhat dilapidated
appearance, and the little party gave evil
dence of long and weary travel. The woman
said she had been directed to the Mayors
Office. Mayor Gardner found places tor the
children on his big sofa. and then lis
tened to the travellers story. The
woman said that her name was Mrs:
Mary Johnson, and that she and
her four children had come all the
way from Johnstown. Pa, with the little
hand-cart on the sidewalk below. Most of
the way she had carried the baby in her
arms drawing the other children in the big
cart by the aid of the little girl. who was
fifteen years old. For herself she had
walked every. step of the way. She had
westward and had passed through small
towns almost exclusively.
Mrs. Johnson said that her husband had
been killed in the big flood. He had been
at work in one of the big mills there and
had secured home for his family. The
woman said she wanted to go TO Lansing
by the flood committee had she not met a
friend named Webber. of jackson. Mich,
who advanced her railroad fare. She had
walked over 200 miles.

about knocked all the symmetry out of the
principal acts of that famous body, and
now the Democrats themselves are trying
to undo their work on the election laws.
Purity of the ballot may be encouraged by
the law after all, and the Democrats of
course know that this will be disastrous to
their party. So they are now watching for
a chance to take the matter into the courts
to have the law declared unconstitutional.
