JUDGE MARTINDALE'S WE'LL.
A Fine QualityOf Mineral Water Found as the
Result of His Enterprise.

Yesterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, the
drillers at work upon the we'll at the Deni-
son House struck a mineral water that is
likely to prove as valuable as any that has
yet been found in the State. The vein was
found at a depth of $50 feet, and the news
of the discovery going abroad, there was,
in a short time, half q hundred or more
amateurs and professionals slipping the
water, and enjoying its strong sulphuretted
hydrogen bouquet. 1t has more salt in it
than the Martinsville water, being nearer
the Kentucky Blue Lick water, or the water
found at Lodi, in this State. Those who
drank it last evening, and thought it too
salty, made the beverage more agreeable
by diluting it with an equal part Of n.y.
drant water, which brought it down to the
average Blue Lick. A h~alf-gailon of the
water was taken to Chemist Hurry, who
will make a quantitative analysis. Aqual-
itative test shows the water to contain
chlorides of sodium, magnesium, potassium
and potassium; bicarbonates of sodium and
potassium. and carbonate of calcium.
1t is said that this will make not only a
fine medicinal water for drinking, but will
prove to be excellent for bathing, quite as
good as water that indianapolis people
travel hundreds of miles to use. Judge
Martindale had faint hopes of striking nat
ural gas, but. although traces of it were
discovered, it does not now seem probable
that this fluid will be found in paying
quantities.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
Jesse Harper, of Illinois, Thinks the Greenback

Jesse Harper, of Illinois. a relic of the
G~reenback party, stopped in the city for a
few hours yesterday, on his way to Peru.

1t was arranged to have him speak here at
the Criminal Court room last night, and by
ten minutes of s o'clock about two dozen
people had gathered about the doors of
that court. All was dark within and the
place was locked. When the clock in the
tower struck s the crowd, after the most
bitter denunciations of Goose Eden, the
inhospitable ~janitOr, began to talk of going
elsewhere to find q place for the meeting.

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
E. W. Blinn's Dry Goods Store Seriously Dam
aged-A Fireman Injured.

About 9 o'clock last night a general alarm
of fire called the fire department to Z. w.
Blinn's dry goods store, No. 90 West Wash
ington street, which was discovered to be
ablaze. The fire originated under the
second story stairway. where there was
a considerable pile of rubbish. BY
prompt action the department. soon had the
flames under control, although for a short
time it looked as if there might be a de-
structive co%Dfiagration. The building,
owned by Joseph Becker. was slightly dam
aged by fire, while the stock on the lower
floor suffered most from the water.
The value of the stock was about
$50 600. Insured for $4,000 in the German
Insurance Company, Freeport, ILL.,, Pacific
of New York. and the Franklin agency.
Loss on this is estimated at about 81, 500.
The upper floors had been occupied until
recently by j. A. Rink, cloak-dealer, but
his stock had been entirely removed. The
fire probably started from Goals dropped by
timers, who finished working there yester-
day. James Davis, assistant chief fire
engineer, living at No. 277 East New York
street. had his right elbow severely pinched
in the sliding ladder while coming down
from the third story of the building. He
was taken home by Kregelo.

PETTIS, BASSETT & co
A FIGHT OF EIGHT ROUNDS.
Cclored Amateurs Try Their Skill in the
Ring, but the Inferior Man Wins on q Foul.

An effect of the Sullivan-Kilrain mill was
felt yesterday in local sporting circles,
when two colored amateurs, Stephen
Yacger. a boOt-black at Glenwood's barber
shop. and Charles Richardson, the porter
at Fosters clothing store, on North Illinois
street. tried to emulate the two men who
fought at Richburg. For some time past
there has been a gooddeal of glove practice
at Lewark's livery stable. particularly be-
tween Jaeger and Richardson. 1t was
agreed to have the matter as to who was
the bes. man settled yesterday afternoon,
in the stable named. but it was thought
that roomier quarters were necessary for
the match. A spot near the aqueduct at
Brighton Beach was therefore chosen for
the scene of the combat. After reaching
that place. the principals being attended
by quite a crowd, a sixteen-foot ring was

Richardson's second was u. l.. GlenwOod,
while Abe Solomon acted as second man
for Yaeger. Julius Gumbinsky was time
keeper and Ben Man referee.
Yaeger stood well in the first and Sec
ond rounds. but in the third ran, after re-
ceiyipg a blow on the left jaw. In the
fourth round Richardson again made Yae-
ger run. striking HIM in the breast and in
the head. Yaeger would not fight in the
fifth. although the crowd yelled 'come up
and fight and Richardson asked the same
favor of him; finally the time-keeper forced
him to toe the scratch. This time Jaeger
received "A blow in the stomach and
claimed a foul which was not allowed.
in the sixth and seventh Yaeger ran. In
the eighth Richardson hit his opponent in
the left ear; Yaeger again ran and was
knocked down. While falling he was
struck again by Richardson. Yaeger was
then given the medal on a foul. A purse

wood Electrician Question.
The Board of Aldermen, in special ses-
SIGN. spent an hour last night in wrestling
with the Brightwood electrician question,
while the Council, just across the hall, was
h~urrying through its varied programme of
ordinances and motions. The ordinance
which was passed at the last meeting of
the Council carue before the board last
Monday night and was referred to the
committee on street and alleys, and last
nights session was called in order to hear
its report. 1t was, however, very unsatis-
factory. The ordinance was read for the
first time, and Alderman Reinecke moved
Ia refer il TO the committees on streets and
alleys and judiciary. which motion was
laid ON the table. Alderman Smith moved
to suspend the rules and read the Ordi-

final action. which was lost-yeas, 3;
nays. 6. On motion of Alderman
Reynolds to reconsider. the board became
involved in O dispute as to whether the
action was parliamentary. The city at
torney was called in, but he was unable TO
give any light upon the subject, and the
whole matter of electric cars was referred
back to a joint committee, composed of the
judiciary, railroads, and streets aud alleys

Visited hY BurElarA.

Early Sunday morning a colored man en-
tered the house of Mrs. Stevens, a widow,
through the clothes of the lady's brother,
but finding nothing. ransacked the house.
He then, leaving the house, jumped the
fence separating the back yards of Mrs.
Stevens and policeman Mefford. Into the
house of the latter he also got an entrance
through the kitchen. Mrs. Mefiord saw the
burglar from an adjoining bedroom, and at
once attempted to fire her revolver at him.
She shot twice; then the man started to run,
her weapon at him, and this time he
hurriedly left. Yesterday morning burglars
went through the house of State Statis-
tician Peele, No. 315 East New York street.
They took nothing of value.

A Conflict In Dates.

1t was agreed last January. at the meet
ing of delegates representing the Western
State fairs. that Indiana should hold her
State fair on the same date as last year. and
that the Illinois fair should be held ono
week later. The Illinois folks have since
changed their mind. and fixed their fair
for the same week as the Indiana State fair.
This state of things is highly unsatisfac,
tory to many exhibitors. who cannot attend
both fairs if held simultaneously. II looks;
however, as if the Illinois men would stand
firm. Notwithstanding Secretary Heron's eff
