ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
WASHINGTON, July ga rather curious
incident occurred at Fort Washington, op-
posite Mt Vernon, where 900 District militia
men are now encamped. Those who were
awake little before reveille heard peculiar
sound from over the hills, and on its coming
nearer found it to be the baying of hounds. A
fine pack was in close pursuit of a red fox.
Dogs and quarry dashed in full chase into the
camp, neither paying the least attention to the
shout and cheers Of the men.
They tore between and around the tents in
great frenzy, the fox doubling and attempting
by many tricks to lose the scent to its pursuers,
but at last it desisted and again broke for the
woods, every dog close ON its heels The pack
belonged to a gentleman living about two miles
from the camp, and Reynard himself had
provoked the pursuit by intruding too closely
TO the kennels.

SAND SPRINGS WATER.
a Prospect for an Abundance Of Pure
Water for the City.

Several members of the city council,
accompanied by the surveyor and
others, drove up to Sand springs this
morning to look over the ground with
view to bringing the water of the
springs to Abilene to supply the water
works system. The following persons
made up the party: Mayor and Mrs.
Lebold, Councilmen Hendricks, Win
field, Howard, Read, Huffman, Keel
and Shane, Hon. J. E. Bonebrake,
Surveyor Romig, j. Schopp, TheO.
MoSher and wife.
Upon their arrival at the springs
the party examined the ground and
County Surveyor Romig explained the
flow Of the water and the means neces-
sary to bringing the supply to the city.
The flow is estimated at 100000 gal
Ions per day and is a great abundance
to supply city of the size of Topeka.
The water is unusually pure, having
less than 6 per cent. impurity in it.
This makes it the equal of any water
in the state and will give the city a
splendid supply if it can be secured.
Mr.. BOnebrake estimates the cost of
bringing the water to the city at about
$40 900, though it may be much less.
1t is probable that the Water Works
company will make proposition to
the city regarding the matter and it
will be left to the people to decide
what action to take. After the long
siege of unsatisfactory water supply
through which the city has passed, the
thought of getting an abundant supply
of the pure material will be very CRATE
full. All previous efforts of the Water
Works company. have proved utterly
useless as to giving a.. satisfactory
amount and quality of water, and as it
is certain that this contemplated move
will give the city clear, pure and
abundant supply for decades to come
it is to be hoped that arrangements
for securing it can be made.
After staying at the springs for an
hour or more the party, by invitation of
Mr.. Bonebrake, visited his famous
Redbud rancho. The fine stock.
grain and improvements Were exam
ined and then the return drive to the
city was taken, arriving here at IL
O'Clock.

of its race track which is 50 generally
praised by horsemen in all portions of
the country. The association has
worked hard to make the park sue
cess and it is a matter of congratula-
ton that they have met with SO much
GOOD fortune.
