DIR. BlGGER'S CAPTURE.
Two Tramps Held Up at Point of a
Pistol.

Dr. r. f. Bigger had an experience yester-
day afternoon at the rear of his residence.
The only use to which he has put his stable
for some time has been a storeroom, and
for that purpose it had become impractical
BILE on account of the constant thieving that
has been going on. 1t has been impossible
to keep anything of value about the place
for some time, and on one occasion a man
was found but not detained. DR.. Bigger
notified the police and sufficient proof was
found to convince them that the stable was
being used as a rendesvouz for thieves, and
about week ago quantity of stuff, stolen
from Jewish club in the vicinity, was
found there.
Yesterday afternoon while the servant girl
was husying herself in the rear part Of the
house, she saw man frantically waving
his hand and making signs that some one
was in the barn. She notified the doctor
and, taking his revolver, he went to in
vestigate. AS he mounted the stairs to the
loft he heard footsteps, and then some
one locking himself in the hostler's room.
The doctor forced open the door and in
other started to run out. The doctor drew
his revolver and commanded the fellow to
halt which he old not hesitate in doing.
The other had by this time picked himself
up, but made no effort to escape. The fell
lows parleyed for a while and tried to get
their release, but they were held, and the
bicycle police notified. The police, before
with which they think almost any lock could
be picked. The prisoners gave their names
as James Jordan Dayton, o., and Dean
Kaufman, of this city.

ASKED TO JACKSONVILLE
MAI. HARRISON WANTS THE I61sT
IN SEVENTH CORPS.
A Message to the Governor-GeneraI
Corbin Wires Regarding the
Bundy Matter.

a telegram was received by the Governor
yesterday from Maj. Russell B. Harrison,
informing him there was a vacancy in the
Seventh Army Corps in which Major Har-
rison is serving inspector general. lie
expressed wish to have the One-hundred-
and-sixty-first Regiment assigned to fill the
vacancy and informed Governor Mount the
matter could be arranged in Washing
ton If the Governor would take 1t up.
In discussing the matter last night Gov.
Mount said: while have received a mes
sage from Major Harrison intimating that
the observation-disclosures could be
sent to Jacksonville on my application, 1
have not yet decided to ask that it be done.
l regard it as rather too early, in view of
the regiment not being equipped and in good
working order, to ask to have the regiment
sent TO any particular place."
1t is thought, however, that in all proba-
bility the regiment now at Camp Mount
will get away in the course of a few days,
perhaps by next Monday. At the Statehouse
it is said that the troops will be away by
the first Of the week.
There has been no expression from the
regimental officers or the men touching on
their choice as to points of service it being
tho chief desire of all hands to get into ac-
tive service. no matter where they were
sent. AS one of the men remarked yester-
day, Amy place is preferable to the fair
grounds"

WEAK WATER PRESSURE
Permitted an Extensive Fire on Mad
isOn Avenue.

At 40 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
fierce fire broke out in the stable at the
rear of Casper Hess's grocery store and sa-
loon at Madison avenue and Downey street.
While the stable boy was attending to the
horses, he discovered the fire in the loft
and Immediately gave the alarm. The de-
partment responded promptly. but Mr.. Hess
was loud in his complaints against the
water company. The pressure was very
weak even after second alarm had been
turned in, and it was necessary to send in a
special water pressure alarm. From the barn
which was soon destroyed, the fire commune
icated forward to the two-story brick build
ing occupied as residence, grocery and sa-
loon, and from here spread to the frame
structures at 1911, 1915 and 1917 Madison ave-
nue., which are also owned by Hess. In the
rear of the stable on Downey street where
the fire originated, the two-story frame
dwelling of Peter Grusman was damaged to
the extent of $500. Hess's loss will aggre-
gate $1,000. and is entirely covered by in
surance. 1t is believed that the origin of
the fire may be traced to small boys in the
neighborhood and the police are now work.

ment of the Evansville & Newburg railroad
was made by George Cunningham. He
claimed that it Is little more than street.

of $16,35O. With gross earnings less than
$13, 600 last year, the taxes were 81, 1891
No decision will be rendered by the board
until the entire sitting is completed, about
