WATER COMMITTEES MEETING

WATER COMMITTEES MEETING.
 A short and unimportant meeting of the water committee was held last eve- ning.r It was 9 o'clock before quorum was present, and then two petitions were presented. One was that headed by l.. Burton Brown, asking for a drinking fountain on Clinton avenue, near Grand avenue. F. A. Francis, Councilman D Burton Brown and H. w. Crawford appeared before the com- mittee in favor of the petition There was no opposition. There is already a watering trough at the corner designat- ed and the need of drinking fountain of some sort is very apparent to those living in that vicinity. It was stated at the hearing that mary persons now drink from the watering trough owing to the absence of a proper drinking fountain.
 The other petition presented was that of Fred Dakin, asking for the location of a fire hydrant on Saltonstall ave- nue, between Ferry and Poplar streets. Tn favor of this MT. Roman, Edward Dargan and Frank Sheldon appeared, there being no opposition to the pro- posed location.

situation. There is no doubt that he is
very anxious to fight. provided he does not
run up against jail, and particularly a
Mexican Jail.
Governor Ahumada was on the alert
this morning to prevent any fight in his
bailiwick. He had his men out watching
eagerly for any sign of men crossing the
river in large numbers. All last night and
far into the morning the training quarters
Of Fitzsimmons at Juarez were surrounded
by Gordon of Mexican guards. II was
nearly noon before any of the inmates
ventured from the house. and then Julian
went to federal headquarters in company
with friend who brought him the informa-
ton that the whole Fitzsimmons retinue
waa to be ordered out of Mexico. Julian
thought it advisable not to wait for the or
der. He told Collector Bauche that he had
no intention of violating Mexican laws !;
that there was little chance of the fight be-
ing brought off owing to Maher's condition.
and he hoped under the circumstances his
party would not fall under the ban of the
state. During the conversation Governor
Ahumada called upon Collector Bauche
Julian was introduced, and tho gist of Ju-
ian's statement translated to him by the
collector. The governor was courteous
but noncommittal, and Julian was bowed
out.
Thomas F. O'Rourke, the backer of Joe
Walcott, will have his man weigh in to-
morrow and claim the $3.50 forfeit of Dan
Stuart if the fight between his man and
Bright Eyes is not brought off. The fight
10 scheduled for tomorrow.
The situation has worked down to a
simple proposition of having the big fight
before the kinetoscope. 1t is practically
Stuart's only chance to win out, and the
only hope that the kinetoscope men have
on their side of the grave question of the
recovery of the 900 they have already
put into the scheme.
Hot resolutions were introduced and
adopted at q meeting of the city council
here tonight, eight being polled upon the
matter in the afternoon and seven Of the
aldermen agreeing to the resolutions. The
substance Of the resolutions was that the
citizens of Ell Paso regard the action OF
Governor Culberson and Adjutant-General
MAbry in bringing in Texas rangers as a
bid for cheap notoriety, and they con-
demned it as such.
Concessions have been secured for a big
bull fight in Juarez, Sunday.

so far perfected his tubes as to be able to

"Roentjen's theories seem to be correct
in every particulog,n said NJ Edison, land
there is little doubt il these rays are really
in the ether that he has discovered a new
form of energy in the same category with
light, heat and electricity. As a matter of
fac. all matter is ,uued to certain
vibration and any force containing the
same vibration affects all classes Of
matter tuned to that particular key. The
attempts to anticipate results with these
ava have developed some absurd and
ridiculous suggestions. but that Roentjen's
discovery opens the way to wonderful in
sight into natures secrets is true no,with-
standing"
The inventor said tonight he was nearly
ready to attempt his experiment OF photo
graphing q human brain. and that after he
had done that he would stop his expert
meuts and leave further development for
others. Mr.. Edison denied that he intends
