Great Chicago Canal Sees Its
First Flood.
Large Body of Water Turned
Loose Down the Channel.
WITH DYNAMITE.
Over 1000 Cubic Feet Of
Water a Minute
To Be Let Go In Presence of
Spectators.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Residents along the
drainage canal below Lemont viii be
treated today to the sight of a great
volume of water rushing towards Joliet
through that portion of the big ditch
which has hitherto been dry
From the point where the Santa Fe
tracks cross the canal at Lemont to
point two and a half miles east the ca
nal has been completed many months
and the excavation has been gradually
filing with surface water. The aver
age depth Of the water is nine or ten
feet, and at the east end where the
contractors are still at work it is fear
ed the food will overflow and interfere
with the workmen.
With the exception of the space 100
feet wide in the middle of section at
LemOnt, under the Santa E7e right of
way, which has not been touched. the
work Of excavation is practically COM
plete from section to section Is, a dis
lance of ten miles.
On section IA, near Lockport. a pair
of big pumps has been placed with suf-
fcient capacity to keep the ditch free
from surface water.
Chief Engineer Randolph decided
some time ago to tunnel under the
Santa Fe tracks in order to release the
body of Stagnant water collected above.
The tunnel work viii be completed this
morning, and about noon the last
charge of dynamite viii be fred to blow
out the head of the tunnel, allowing the
water to run through at the rate of
IL 600 cubic feet minute
A number of engineers and other
guests have been invited by the drain
age officials to witness the freeing of
the food, and it is expected crowds of
people viii watch the scene from the
banks of the canal.
The great engineering feat of Great
ing the giant waterway is rapidly near
Trnc NNaarT rra7~
the excavation is now finished Mr.
Randolph said that as the result of a
rough estimate, he finds the mass of
rock and earth removed would form, if
loaded into freight cars with 40 tons to
the car and a locomotive for each 40
cars, an endless chain of trains long
enough to encircle the earth at the
equator and overlap a distance of IA
miles.

Told Gold Man He Didn't Have
Money Enough to Get Shaved.

A fight occurred this afternoon at the
Sixth street financial school in which
r. Q. Talbot struck w. Wardin fairly
in the cheek and Knocked him full
length upon the pavement. The men
had been standing in the crowd when
Wardin approached Talbot. In a re
marl1a bly, short time Talbot had landed
on Wardfn and the latter measured his
length on the asphalt pavement. War
din says: THAT fellow had been over
there talking with the negroes and he
came over and we had some words. I
told him he didn't have enough money
to get shaved. even if he was sold
man. Then he struck me. I didn't fight
back, because 1 knew we would both
be arrested if did"
Talbot said. 4 didn't say a word to
him He pushed through the crowd
and struck at me I lodged and the
blow missed me Then I tapped him
and he fell down He had been drink
ing I didn't say a word 10 him.
George Hungate was standing talk
ing to Talbot at the time of the disturb
ance II was talking to him, said
Hungate. "and this other man came up
and struck at Talbot. The next thing I
knew Talbot hit him. They hadn't been
talking together at all.
One side of sympathizers say that
Talbot hit Wardin without prOVoca-
ton: another that Wardin struck out
first Wardin went to the police sta
tion to procure warrant for Talbots
arrest He had liquor on his breath.
Talbot is a large. muscular man, and
usually good natured. He served as a
special policeman on Chief Gardeners
force during Fall Festival week.

Movement to Bring Yale and

TO BE FRIENDS AGAIN.
Yale Will Have to Send the
Football Challenge,
Other Sporting News of a Cen

Boston. Mass. Oct. 2s-An organized
effort is being made to bring Harvard
and Yale together at the end of the
season. The Harvard graduates have
been quietly at work since college open
ed to the end of patching up the differ
enees between Harvard and Yale. 1T
IS understood that their efforts have
met with some promise of ultimate sue
cess.
If present indications are at all an
earnest of the future course of the ne
EQUATIONS there is every reason to be-
neNe that Yale viii play at Harvard
next season. and vice versa. With the
removal of the old athletic committee
from the scene Of action there is moth
ing that saVOrs of impossibility in the
scheme 1t is well known that the
rupture was brought about by Prof.
Ames. at that time chairman of the
athletic committee. Tt is only fair to
add that Prof Ames' position was
backed up heartily by foot ball play
ers, coaches and the college al large
Since that time matters and senti-
ments have changed considerably Prof.
Ames has retired and Prof. Beale has
taken his place 1t is understood that
the present athletic committee is only
too anxious to bring about an under
standing with Yale. But Prof. Beale
laid down one absolute condition of
peace 1t was that the challenge
should come from New Haven and not
from Cambridge. This is just where
the question rests in Cambridge.
If Yale can be induced to send a
challenge lit would be accepted readily
by Harvard. and the old relation Of
friendly rivalry would be resumed. 1t
