THEY FIGHT TONIGHT.
Heavy Odds Favor Fitzsimmons On
The Outcome.

The Outcome
San Francisco, Dec. 1.-The Nation
al Athletic club may have to select
the referee for the Fitzsimmons-Shar-
key fight tomorrow night. Martin
Julian, Dan Lynch and several other
interested parties met at Sharkey's
training quarters last evening when
the question was discussed. Lynch
and Julian both submitted n number
OF names but no one proposed was
satisfactory to both sides. After
some delay it was finally decided to
meet Wednesday morning for final
consultation. If no satisfactory agree
ment can be reached inside of one
hour the club will select the referee
according to the articles of agreement
Sharkey and Fitzsimmons both in
dulged in light work yesterday. Shar-
key expects to scale 1S2 pounds, which
will probably be five pounds more
than 'Lanky Bob" Billy Smith,
Danny Needham and George Allen
will be behind Sharkey, while Julian,
Hickey and Stenzeller are likely to
second Fitzsimmons. Everything is
in readiness for the contest and big
ger crowd than witnessed the Cor
bett-Sharkey battle is confidently ex-
pected. Even money that Sharkey
does not stay six rounds with Fitz-
simmons is the favorite betting propo-
sition here and thousands of dollars
have been waged on this basis. The
heavy race track betters from the
east are all solid for Fitzsimmons and
while 20 to Q are the prevailing odds
in favor of the Irishman several bets
of 500 to $40 have been recorded.

Cures
"Cures talk F" in favor -HH-
of Hoods Sarsaparilla, "a 4 ~
as for no other medi- "a y m


cine. Its great cures recorded in truthful,
convincing language Of grateful men and
women, constitute its most effective adj
vertising. Many of these cures are mar
velous. They have won the confidence OF
the people; have given Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla the largest sales in the world, and
have made necessary for its manufacture
the greatest laboratory on earth. Hoods
SarsaparilIa is known by the cures it has
made-cures of scrofula, salt rheum and
eczema, cures of rheumatism, neuralgia
and weak nerves, cures of dyspepsia, liver
and kidney troubles, catarrh and malaria.
Such Cures as This Prove Merit.
"My little nephew was plump and
healthy baby until a year and half old,
then sores broke out behind his ears and
spread rapidly over his head, hands and
body. A physician said the trouble was
scrofula humor in the blood. The child
became one complete sore. We had to
restrain his hands to keep him from
scratching the sores. We were induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and in a short
time he had more life. He improved rap
idly, his skin became entirely clear of
sores and he is now healthy child" MRS.

BISMARCK ON THE CRISIS.
He Says England VIII Have to Fight
France and Russia.

Special Gable Dispatch to the New York Sun.
LONDON, July GA dispatch from
Hamburg to the Suns London Office says
that the following is an authorized express
sion of Prince Bismarck's views on the
pending European crisis:
The English policy is governed by
anxiety about the conflict which England
must fight out with Russia and France.
France is striving for the Soudan and Rus
STA for India, and, as England is their com
mon antagonist in these aspirations, they
are natural allies even without a treaty.
Egypt is of great strategic important to
England's position both in the Soudan and
India, and is therefore now the pivot OF Brit
ism policy, the anXieties of which have been
not a little enhanced by Russia's recent at
titude toward the Egyptian question.
England will not give up Egypt, but does
not feel herself a match for Russia and
France, and is, therefore. casting about for
help. hitherto, and let us hope In the future,
in vain, SO far as Germany and Austria
hungary are concerned.
But the British are tormented by another
anxiety They no longer believe entirely in
the unassaila bility of their European island
empire, for, whereas many things have
changed elsewhere in the last decade, Eng
lands system of defense is still the same as
in Wellingtons time 1t Suffices for her
on-European countries. In view of the
worldwide extent of her interests she mus
Russia and France But the power or
powers which preponderate where the con-
ilict must be decided that is. in the English
channel and the North sea, will be vic
toriouS.
The French channel feet alone is already
match for the English, and its junction
with the RUSSIAN Baltic fleet would put an
END to England's superiority in the waters
In winch the conflict must be decided.
Add TO this that her inSular position in
So!Nes me DANGER OF England being starved
out ny an enemy, so that she must uncon-
dit1onaliy surrender If victorious hostile
lieet should succeed in cutting off her sup
plies.
England has not ignored this danger. and
is. therefore, working diligently at the task
OF increasing her navy to such an extent
tnat IL Will be superior under all crcum-
stances. If she maintains her sunerioritv
at sea, her antagonists must try to convert

AN ARTESIAN WELL.
Rocky file the Eve of Having
Plentiful Water aud Electric Lights.


ROCKVILLE. Md. July % 1896.
The city council at a meeting held last
right AWARDED a contract for the sinking
of an artesian well 20 supply the town OF
Rockville with water to the ID. Il. Miller
Artesian Well Company of Baltimore. and
work upon the contract will be commenced
rot later than Monday morning next. The
well will be sunk on the property of Mr..
Joseph Reading, just inside the corporation
limits near Horner's lane. on the spot
located by Engineer Morgan of Chicago for
the purpose. Mr.. Morgan, who has con-
structed over II, water works in the north
and west, all of which now working
successfully. came here a couple of weeks
ago at the request of the city council. and
after mining the contiguration of the
country In ills vicinity selected the terri
tory mentioned as being the best site for
the drilling of a well, with the assurance
of securing an abundant supply of arteslan
wate-- Upon receiving his report the city
council called for bids for sinking the well
and a number were received, that of the
ID. Z. Miller company being much the low
est The contract calls for a ten-inch well
through the gravel and eight inches
through the underlying rock. Two dollar.
and a half per foot will be paid for the
sinking of the well and the piping of the
cavity through tie gravel and $50 per
foot for the same work through the gran
lite. 1t is confidently expected that IN
abundant supply of water Will be strIch
at l25 feet belcw the surface.
If such is the case the contract for the
pumping machinery, the erection ~
pump house and a large tank and The
necessary piping to supply the town Will
be awarded, and at the same time the
contract will also be let for the erection
of electric light works in conjunction with
the water works. 1t has been figured out
by the committee of the city council hav-
ing these important matters in charge
that the town can lie abundantly supplied
with water and electric lighting within
the limit of the $4,000 which the las,
legislature provided that Rockville could
be bonded for in order to get water. and
that the income from water rents and
electric light charges Will lie amply sufii-
cient to pay all the running expenses of
the works and the interest on the honds.
and leaves a handsome surplus for sink
ing fund for their redemption. All this
will be done without increasing the present
rate of taxation of the town at all and
in addition the town will be lighted with
electricity and furnished with twenty-five
fire plugs free OF cost to 1t.
The town is now lighted by oil lamps at
an expense of about $500 per year and ow-
ing to the inadequate facilities for fighting
fires the insurance rates very high.
The majority Of the councilmen are greatly
encouraged over the outlook and prophesy
that the modernizing of Rockville will
enthusiastically increase the value Of its real
estate and lead to q new era OF prospsrilH
In that community.
