Breiienstein's Arm Broken.

Theodore Breitenstein. the famous
left-hand pitcher. had his right arm
broken in a carriage upset. recently.
No, only was his right arm broken by
the spill but his left arm was badly
sprained. Though he had quit the big
league year ago. he was still meeting
with success in the Western, and
counted upon going out as usual next
spring. This accident. of course,
necessitates the ending Of his baseball
career.

A GOOD IDEA.
Let Admiral Dewey and Our
So" Best Warships
Represent United States at Cornation
Of King Edward VII.
Tie World Can Then See the Finest FIehtIne
Vessels kiloat.

washington. July 1S-The sugges-
tion was made, today, by rear ad-
miral in high standing that Admiral
Dewey should be given command OF
large squadron comprising the best OF
our new ships. to be present at the
coronation Of Eing Edward VII. The
suggestion meets with general appro-
val among high naval officials.
The ships recently ordered to the
European stations are not considered
falr representatives of our new navy
the Albany being a foreign built ship
the Chicago one of the early products
of the new navy. and the Nashville a
comparatively small gunboat
1t is expected that the naval pageant
at the time of the coronation will bring
together some of the finest ships pos
sessed by European countries, and for
that reason it is urged that the United
states should be represented by some
OF its best ships under Admiral Dewey.

Quite a little excitement was caus-
ed along Water street and part of the
hill. yesterday mornlng.S at about 2
o'clock. Arl Wolmaf,.g who owns and
occupies the new building in Depot
square. was awakened by his room be-
ing filled with smoke. Without finding
the cause he rushed to the street and
cried fire" several times in a loud
voice. He was heard by great many,
among them being the night watch.
They held hasty investigation and
thus saved giving an alarm. II was
found that wood fire had been built
in the restaurant of Fuller & Footer
There was no wind blowing and the
smoke filed the rooms of Wolman
making him think his place was on
fire. '-AN

A WeII.known Spring.

One of the most sought for articles
in the city is the spring on Mechanic
street at the corner of Church street
This spring has been in use for the
last 30 years and has never been known
to be dry. 1t is located in the yard of
Richard Connors. Church street and
pipes carry the water from that place
10 the watering trough. People from
far and near take water from it. some
going over half u mile after it. for it is
cold clear and fine. 1t supplies the
watering trough for the horses and
during the winter i. never freezes over
to any thickness.
