Found a Swab.

The workmen on the Gilman street
sewer "Wednesday found a pole in the
pipe, which had been used apparently
by some person or persons unknown
for che purpose of forcing a swab into
the pipe to clean it out in order to let
the water flow through. The pole was
about 200 feet in length, and had been
made by splicing several lengths of
wood together. 1t lis probable that the
persons using the swab had forced it
into bhe pipe and then broken the pole
by accident. They could not with
draw the mop and had been compelled
to abandon the idea of cleaning out the
pipe by this method. This scheme
may or may not have been used legl-
tlmately in an attempt to clean out
the sewer. So far no explanation has
been offered by any one of how the
pole got into the pipe.

Col. Boone and the Black Diamond

~S'' SSStN uiN tNO biuSN OluIHUlIut
In a letter to the Times Recorder
Col. Albert ID. Boone says:
No effort is being made and GER
tainly none will be made by me to go
north of Columbus, o.. with the Black
Diamond system. am aware of the
fact that one of the ablest English syn
dictates Said The system must go to
one of the great lakes Two places
suggest themselves to me, viz: Fair
port harbor, on Lake Erie, and Ham
mond, Ind, on Lake Calumet, an arm
of Lake Michigan. Hammond, Ind,
is only twelve miles from Polk street
depot in Chicago. AS Mr.. Klrkby, my
associate partner, resides at Toledo, O.,
no doubt he has intimated to his peo-
pie the plans of the English, and hence
they propose making an effort to get
the Black Diamond terminus. One
thing is certain--Toledo is awldeawake
city. Her business men work as unit
and work like Trojans and they get
just what they set out to capture. l
wouldn't be astonished in the least to
see Toledo the lake terminus of the
Black Diamond system.
If Toledo should be made the lake
terminus of the Black Diamond, it will
certainly insure the completion OF the
GAINESVILLE, Mt. Vernon & Marion and
also the zanescvile, Beverly 6 Park
ersburg, which would be of great bene-
fit to the shippers of GAINESVILLE, as
the territory drained" Ii

Young BIaine's Hard Luck.

Apparently hard luck pursues young
James G. Blaine. It seems that he
saved some money while an army Off
Ger, and after his return to Washing
ton he began to speculate. Like many
others he was successful during the
boom in the market, and few weeks
ago he was 100000 to the good. His
broker advised him to draw out, but
the young man was anxious TO make
moreiand the story goes that he spread
his $4,000 in thin margins, and the
next day the big slump in the market
came, and in less than 4S hours 1T
wiped out his whole little fortune, and
today he Is just where he was before he
started speculating.
