EARLY INDIAN BATTLE.
Relics Recently Found Tell of San
culinary Fight.


Indian relics that have been dug up
at the GIenview golf grounds, 6
miles west of Evanston, Chicago's
aristocratic suburb, furnish evidence
that here was once fought one of the
bloodiest and most eventful battles of
Indian days. The battle is supposed
to have been fought more than 40
years ago, and resulted in the com
plete determination of the army of the
Sac and Fox Indians that swept down
from Wisconsin and invaded the ILL
nois river country. Opposing the
Sac and Fox Indians were the united
armies of the French and Indians,
consisting of the Chippewas, the
Mascoutens, Menominees and Kicka-
poos.
At that time the French had es-
tablished a trading post here, which
was known as Fort Miami. This and
not Fort Dearborn, as many contend,
was the beginning of Chicago as a
trading center. Had the invading In
dams been victorious, the trading post
would have been abandoned and the
central point of commerce established

Glass PaVements.

The Paris bureau Of paving believes
that it has at last discovered an ideal
street pavement in the form Of "devit-
ried glass blocks" with which two
main thoroughfares are now being
laid, after six months preliminary
trial in other parts of France. The
chief of the paving bureau explained
the process to the Record-Herald cor
respondent today as follows: ''The
glass is first ground to fine powder.
heated till it becomes a paste and
then nodded into rectangular blocks.
We have placed it in the crowded
streets leading off the bouleVards,
where it will be subject to the heaviest
traffic Of the capital. If it realizes our
expectations it will undoubtedly be
substituted shortly on the boulevaTds
for the traditional cedar blocks. 1t IS
far cheaper than the old system, re-
quires only half yearly repairs and IS
more easily kept clean" Glass pave
ment has already been tried in the
Swiss cities, Geneva and Zurich, but
it is not believed that it. vii stand the

TERRoRs OF SHIP ATTIRE AT SEA.
The Remarkable Instance of the Bos-
ton Ship Sunbeam.

ton Ship Sunbeam.
One Of the most remarkable in
stances of a ship on fire at sea was
that of the Boston ship Sunbeam, Capt
John Chadwick, which was burned in
the south Pacific, 80 miles off the coast
Of Chill, March 81, 1870 The Sun
beam, a full-rigged ship of 768 tons
burden, owned by Hemmenway &
Browne, was built in Chelsea, in 1865
On her last voyage, she was in COM
mand of Capt. John Chadwick, a SUI
perb shipmaster native of Exeter
n. H., who had followed the sea since
1889, and was in the employ Of the
Hemmenways from 1854 to the time of
his death in 1885
The ship sailed, March IS, from
Iquique, Peru, for Tome, Chill, having
on board about 600 tons of nitrate Of
soda or saItpeter, a most inhammable
cargo. About noon, March 81, the
second mate as ordered to sweep and
varnish the main deck. In a very
few minutes an explosion was felt, and
the startling cry Of Fire, fire." I'M
mcdiateIy followed A lighted candle
had careIessIy ben taken into the hold
to get the varnish. In about 20 min
utes, from the first altNm, the ship had
disappeared beneath the waves.
In that 20 minutes some most re
markable events occurred. Promptly
upon the alarm, Capt. Chadwick gave
orders to put on the matches and clear
away the boats. Neither order could
be obeyed. The flames burst with
volcanic uprush from the matches and
poured in fearful volumes to all parts
Of the ship. setting the main and
mizzenmasts, with their spars and
sails, on fire; many fierce explosions
meanwhile going on below. The
rapid spread Of the flames drove the
crew forward and overheard. Capt
Chadwick, with his son Alfred, a lad
of ii years, and a seaman, had taken
refuge in the fore rigging preparatory
to a leap into the sea. Just then the
lower studding sail haIyards burned
off, and the yard fell into the rigging
near the captain. In this small spar
he saw his only hope of safety. and a
forlorn hope it seemed. But he told
the seaman to cut the sail from the
yard and launch it overheard. The
man did so, and leaped after it. The
mate, who was floating on a small
board, also swan to the spar.

Gold From Mine Waters.

The London Engineer notes that a
deposit of gold on a piece of wrought
iron. originally used in mine track,
and which had lain in the gutter
carrying off the mine water, has been
found at the Mount Lyell Mine, Tas-
mania. 1t was firmly attached to the
iron, and had probably been deposited
by the electric action of the iron
copper couple from traces of chloride
in the acid mine water No gold,
however, could be detected in the
mine water.
