THE CRONiN GRIND JURY.

It Hakes Its Final -Report With Indictments of Seven Men.

ALEXANDER SULLIVAN IS NOT

7

ON THE LIST.

Lawyer Beggs, His Friend, however, is One of Them—Sullivan's Turn to Come Yet.

CHICAGO, June 29.—The clock in Judge Shepard'fl court-room registered the hour of 5:10 this afternoon when the special grand jury which has been investigating the Cronin mystery filed into the room with their report. Every juror answered to his name as the clerk called the roll, and as the call was completed Judge Shepard, who had been in waiting since 4:30 o'clock, addressed, the foreman: l"Ilave you a report to make?" "We have," and a document upon which all eyes fastened with eager interest was handed to the judge. "Have you further business, gentlemen?" was the next query. "We think we have finished what we have to do." "Then you may be excused from any further service." With this sterotyped conversation ended the work of the grand jury,

The report indicted seven men, of in jail undei ughlin, O'Sul

whom three were already in jail under

fivan

trevious indictments—Co and Woodruff—and a fourth, John F. BeggB, was under arrest on suspicion, The lifih man was Martin Burke, the suspect in custody at Winnipeg. The sixth and seventh men indicted are still at large—Patrick Cooney, "The Fox," and John Kunze, a friend of Detective Coughlin, whose alleged complicity was only brought to the attention of the authori ties within the past two days. Within an hour after the return of the indictment a capias had been made out for John F. Beggs, the senior guardian of Camp 20, Clan-na- Gael, whose place of detention has been a down-town police station. He was at once transferred to a cell near the other accused men in Murderers' row at the county jail.

None of the prisoners or

Buspects

were

represented in court when the grand jury reported to Judge Shepard.. Few persons at all were present besides officials, except a number of newspaper men. After the last fr-.. The of the long inquisition were lates .Attorney Longenecker told a *. fr of reporters that he had not yet draped the case in its relation to Alexander Sullivan. The state's attorney claimed that the grand jury had been unable, owing to the expiration of its term, to hear all the evidence that could be presented against Mr. Sullivan. The inquiry as to Mr. Sullivan would be continued to the next jury. Whether it would be another special panel or the regular body could not at present be stated. It was conceded by Mr. Longenecker in private conversation that up to the moment that the term of the grand jury expired the authorities had not secured sufficent evidence upon which Sullivan could be convicted. An indictment of him, therefore, so the state's attorney reasoned, would undoubtedly result in aif immediate trial or acquittal, barring forever any other proceedings, a result which, from Mr. Lsngenecker's standpoint, was not to be desired. Another reason for the state's attorney's course is said to be a hope on his part that before the trial of the men indicted is ended some of them may be induced, through hope of saving their own necks, to give evidence directly incriminating Sullivan.

Kunze, the Cronin Buspect, whose name became talked about for the first time to-day, is a picture-frame maker, who spent a good deal of time around the Chicago avenue police station to which Detective Coughlin was attached. Kunze is supposed to have driven Coughlin to the Carlson cottage the fatal night of May 4th. State's Attorney Longenecker talks very positively about having evidence enough to Burely hang Coughlin and Kunze. It is intimated that the state has in reserve two witnesses who will swear to seeing Coughlin and Kunze near the cottage that night, and equally direct testimony against Cooney and Burke. One of the witnesses is said to be a member of Camp 20. The evidence against Beggs is understood to consist chiefly of suspicious passages in his correspondence with his superior officer in the Clan-na-Gael, Edward Spellman, of Peoria, the head of the whisky trust.

Fatal Railroad Accident.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 29.—The limited express which left Boston at 11 a. m., via the Boston & Albany road, waB ditched just outside the city limits this afternoon. Three persons were killed and several badly injured. The killed are Miss Mary A. Brigham, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who has recently been elected prinoipal of the Mount Holyoke seminary at South Hadley, Mass. Clarence May, a drawing car oonductor, thought to belong to Stamford, Conn., and the baggage master, whose name could not be learned. The accident was caused by the spreading of the rails where a gang of trackmen were at work relaying the track. The engine passed over all right, but the rails spread under the baggage car, turning it across the track and the other oars behind it pushed into the ditch. The smoker, one passenger coach and two drawing-room can also went over on their snles and landed in the ditch. The rear c. eft the track but did not turn over. The name of the other person killed is E. Pfeffer, a traveling agent for Emil Lanz, of New York.

General Sherman Leave* hr Denver. NKW YORK, June 29.—General W. T. Sherman and a party of friends started to-day for Denver. They go to attend a reception tendered the general by the prominent citizens of Denver on the Fourth of July. General Wager S»ayne, one of the party, is expected to deliver an oration to the people of Denver on the national holiday.

MUCH TALK.

One Speech Allays the Alarm Produced By Another Oa European Affair*. [Copyrighted 1889, by the New York Associated

Press. I

BERLIN, June 29.—Count Kalnoky's speech expressing confidence in the intentions of the Servian regency has tended to allay the alarm which Emperor Francis Joseph's speech produced. The cordial references to Bulgaria are regarded as an answer to the czar's toast to the prince of Montenegro. Notes exchanged between Austria, Germany, Italy, England on the queetion of recognizing Prince Ferdinand, show that while there is no desire to press the matter, no objection will be offered. Turkey's decision depends upon that of the other powere, but apart from Russia's opposition the recognition of Ferdinand can hardly become a fait accompli while Prince Bismarck shows so little interest in Bulgaria's fate. The Sileeian Gazette goes to the length of asserting that even should war result from a Russian occupation of Bulgaria and a demand for the evacuation of Bosnia by Auotzia, Germany would not feel obliged to assist Austria in the struggle, as the convention relative to the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was made without Germany's consent. The Cologne Gazette referring to Turkey's rejection of Russia's overtures for a convention to ensure Turkish neutrality in case of war, dwells on the expediency of Turkey joining the triple alliance, which, it says, is a further check on Russian aggressive Bchemes. West Prussian papers report that Russian troops along the German frontier are being strongly reinforced.

The National Zsitung, headed "England and" Her Rivals," ably reflects the feeling here on the failure of the Egyptian conversion scheme. It arguee that since Russia is pushing her frontier ever eastward in Central Asia, the security of the Suez canal has become most important for England, who is less inclined than ever to evacuate Egypt or share her dominion there with any other .power. There all the materials are ready to hand for a Franco Russian coalition against England, forcing her to become an informal member of the central European peace league.

The New Deputy Postmaster.

When Mr. Greiner sent on his bond of 130,000 as postmaster, Friday night, he also complied with a requirement of the department and gave the name of his deputy—Mr. James M. Faris. Mr. Faris is the proprietor of a general store at 120 Main street, where for sevaral years he has conducted a succjfatul business enterprise. He is comparatively a young man, having been born September 11th, 1858, at Francisville, Pulaski county. When a child his parents removed to Medaryville, a few miles distant. He attended the common schools there, later at Valparaiso, and then took a course in a commercial college at Indianapolis. He is a man of upright character, of pleasing address, and one who will make friends. His appointment, in a political sense, was a compliment to his brother, Mr. George W. Faris, who was chairman of the Republican county committee last fall.

The St. Paul Real Kstate Swindle. ST. PAUL, Minn., June 29.—The latest phase of the big real estate swindle is the connecting it with the local intelligence office, through which attempts were made to work off mining stocks on applicants for positions. The police believe they have captured one of the forgers in the person of Chris Lindstad, and are now looking for E, J. Mulick, a notary public. Henry Jacobson was last heard of a month ago, when he Btarted out to close a real eetate deal, with Messrs. Tall and Partello, who have been arrested for complicity in the frauds. His family fear foul play, and the police are also investigating this new feature in the case.

No Liquor »t an Enumpmeit, WASHINGTON, June 25.—President Harrison has issued an order prohibiting the sale of liquor in the camp grounds of the District national guards at their coming annual encampment. The camp is to be efctabliehed onthe government reeervation at Ft. Washington, on the Potomac river about ten miles below this city. It was originally intended by the commander of the National guards to permit the establishment of a "canteen" where light drinks might be Bold, but a delegation from the Women's ohristain union called upon the president and entered protest.

At Johnstown.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 29.—The work of the sub-oommittee whose report of the living and dead was given out today, does not give satisfaction. It shows 15,455 survivors and 1,194 drowned. The morgue reports show that more than 3,000 have been buried. Mayor Noonan, of St. Louis, was here to-day and distributed 15,000 among the sufferers.

THE SULUYAN-KILRAIN HGBT.

The Preparations For the Great Con. test One Week From. To-morrow.

MANY EXCURSIONISTS WILL PAY $15 FOR TICKETS.

Arrangements For the Journey of the Pugilists to the Fighting Qround.

NEW ORLEANS. June 29.—J. W. Barrett, who left John L. Sullivan Wedneeday evening at his training quarters in New York state, arrived here this morning to receive notice as to the selection of the battle ground. Being interviewed, Mr. Barrett said: "Sullivan never looked better. I knew him when he fought Ryan, and I tell you frankly, he is in better shape at present, than ever in bis life. As far as I can see there is not a bit of superfluous flesh on him, and the story that he is flabby-looking about the muscles is all bosh. His wind iB excellent, and his legs are as solid and as Btrong almost as bare of steel. Just before I left, he skipped the rope 800 times without a break, and a man must have pretty good legs, and mighty good wind to do that."

Mr. Barrett had plenty of interesting things to tell about the New Orlean's favorite. He said Sullivan is taking as naturally to training as a duck does to water. His docility is something to be remarked. Hedoes everything Muldoon tells him, and be realizes perfectly that he must show the country sgain just what he is made of. When he strips the public will be amazed to see the magnificent combination of muscle. He is verily a Hercules and all his pristine strength of limb and vigor of rush have come back. The big fellow himself has as little fear about the result as he would have if Andy Bowen was to be his opponent. Barnett gives Muldoon great credit for what has been accomplished in training Sullivan, and giving him lessons in wrestling. He says when Sullivan gets into the ring he will know a point or two about wrestling that never occurred to Kilrain. Mr. Barnett does not know who will be behind Sullivan in the big fight. Cleary can be counted on, but the other man is unknown. May be it will be Ashton, though Sullivan himself did not know, last week, who was likely to assist Cleary. Muldoon is spoken of and could fill the bill, but Muldoon would hardly care to get behind John. He would prefer to have some more experienced man take the place. However, the matter will be decided in a few days and when it is the name of the missing second will be made public. As far as Sullivan is concerned, nothing will interfere with the fight, unless the champion drops dead. The Kilrain party will be conceded everything in order that there may be no kick. Any square man, as a referee, will suit Sullivan, no matter where he baito from. There will be plenty of good men down from the North, and there are good men right here in New Orleans capable of serving. As far as the interest North is con cerned, it is getting more intense every day. So far, there h'aa been little betting in New York, but what there is, Mr. Barrett says, was favorable to Sullivan.

Preparations for the Sullivan-Kilrain fight are progressing smoothly. Bud Renaud, who has charge of the excursion, is receiving constantly applications for tickets and special cars. All parties of sixty will be furnished a special car, and can equip themselves as they wish in the matter of personal comforts. The Southern athletic club, of this city, have engaged several more. The first train to leave the city, about four a. m. on Monday, July Sth, will be the special train of ten cars or more, the occupants paying $15 each. This train will be followed a few minutes later by a train of twenty cars or more, it required, all reaching the battleground in an hour. The ring will be pitched before daylight, and be in readiness for use when the excursionists arrive. It is confidently expected that the fight will commence ^t 8 a. m., and the excursonists return to the city by noon. The managers think there will be five thousand people at the ring side. Captain Tom Jamieeon, of Meridien, Miss., with twenty specials, will probably have charge of the police regulations. Captain Jamieson is known as an efficient and reeolute officer, who can always have a posse of good men at his command, and should he undertake the job the very best of order will be assured.

NEW YORK, June 29.—Charley Mitchell, Jake Kilrain's trainer, was in town to-day and left again for Baltimore. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell left Baltimore last night and got here early this morning. Charley called oh Manager Clark at Richard K. Fox's office and arranged the time of Jake Kilrain's leaving his training quarters for New Orleans, the scene of the battle. Mr. Clark proposed that Jake board the special train which will leave Jersey City on the morning of July 4th, and Charley liked the proposition. The train will take on excursionists at Philadelphia and Baltimore, and thus it iB likely that Kilrain will be accompanied by hia friends to the battle-ground. Charley says he never felt more certain of Kilrain's ability to whip Sullivan. "It is a pleasure to be hia trainer," he added.

Amalgamated Association's Scale. PITTSBURG, June 29.—The wages scale of the Amalgamated association of iron and steel workers for 1889 and 1890 expires to-day. Three firms had signed the scale up to noon. They were the Maumee iron company, of Toledo Riverside iron oompany of Cincinnati and Elba iron and bolt company ot this city. With the close of to-day 40,000 men will be thrown out of employment, and nearly as many more will be indirectly affected. A strike or lockout however, is not apprehended. Repairs are always made at this season and it is expected before the middle of July a majority of the iron and steel mills will again be in operation If the scale is not signed by that time a protracted shut down ia probable. A number of manufacturers have stated that the scale will not be signed in its present shape, but the iron workers say they are not alarmed at the situation and express confidence that when the iron masters are ready they will affix their signatures to the scale.

THE ST. LOUH KURDU MTORKY.

The Murdered Girl's Stater Tfcoegfct to

ST. LOUIS, Jane 29.—The police an now satisfied that Mrs. Hollingsworth, sister of (he murdered girl, Anna Weias, knows nun* about the movementa of the victim and her troubles than she is disposed to tell. To-day ehe admitted that she had withheld the fact that her sister had taken a room at a cheap lodging house, last Monday night, giving as an explanation for her silence that she had sworn not to reveal the movements of Anna. She will be kept under strict surveillance, aa it ia now thought she may know something about the murdered girl's movements on the fatal night, and perhaps knows who she met that evening.

The Hotel Huret incident, in which George Newbill, the Jefferson City barkeeper, ia implicated, ia developing some new facts. To-day it ia learned that a girl anawering the description of the one taken to the ^lotel Hunt by Newbill, when he registered as "John Curry and wife," is in a lying-in house at 2013 Cheetnut atreet, and that ehe waa taken there Sunday morning. She is from Jefferson City and may know something about the movementa ot Anna Weiss. All sorts of clues and theories are springing up and being developed, but it ia evident that the correct one has not been struck aa yet, unleqp the Bister of the dead girl can be induced to unbosom herself ss to Anna's movements lsst Wednesday night. [Last evening Mr. Ed Westfall, of the Mail, received the following:

EX-SENATOR HAB1N*S CASK.

Ills Divorce Suit Doe*. Not Go Altogether His Way, WASHINGTON, June 29.—A special from Stillwater, Minn., says: "Ex-Senator Dwight M. Sabin ia moving heaven and earth to counteract the feeling aroused against him throughout Minnesota by his action in having^Mre. Sabin committed to an inebriate asylum at Flushing, L. I., and then sscunng a divorce from her on the ground oMiabitual drunkenness and excessive use of opium. When the facts of the divorce case were made publio four-fifths of Sabin's friends in this city and St. Paul not only gave him the cold shoulder, but condemned in emphatic terms his suBpicious methods of caating off the woman who was chiefly instrumental in securing his advancement socially and politically.

Capitalists who helped him during his numerous financial troublss gave it out that he could no longer depend ujwn them for financial aid, should he require it and the press of the state unite in censuring him. Mr. and Mrs. Sabin had no children of theirpwn, but gave shelter to and supported three orphan girls, two of these, aged 10 and 11, reapectively, were the daughters of Delegate Raymond of Dakota, and the.other the child of RuBh Chambers, a relative of Mrs. Sabin. The children are now at school at Georgetown, D. C. Mr. Sabin yesterday made formal-application to the district court of Washington county to be allowed to legally adopt the three chilnren. He asks tohavehis name added to those of the children. As yet, no one has been able to communicate with Mrs. Sabin in her retreat at Flushing, although several attempts have been made.'' ^K

THB PRESIDENT AND TANNER.

Tanner Is Getting Along All Right, but Is a Little Noisy. Commissioner Tanner, of the pension bureau, has already defended hia actions in an able manner, and he has made the fair declaration that if he has made any miatakes he will be prompt to correct them, says a Washington special. It has been a matter of some curiosity in several quarters as to the exact light in which the president views Commissioner Tanner's somewhat robust administration. A story told by President Harrison himself in reply to a question on this very subject is the best illustration of what he thinks: "I remember once during the war," said General Harrison, "that while on the march we heard a terrible racket in the rear, with an appalling amount of profanity, and much seeming confusion. The commanding offioer rode back to see what the trouble was. He found the wagonmaater in a terrible pasaion, and making the air perfectly blue with curses at the driven ot the wagons, who were whipping their horses up, but getting along in fine style. Every wagon was well in line, and after the offioer had viewed the scene with satisfaction for awhile, he turned to the wagonmaater and aaid: 'I wish to compliment you, sir, on the way you are bringing your train up, but I want to know if you can not get along with leaa noise, ana not so much darn swearing.'"

Tanner is bringing his train up in good shape, but the president thinks he might get along with leaa noise.

President Harrison Goes to Meet His Wife—A Few Consular f-v .-rv': Appointments.

WASHINGTON, June 29.—Washington dispatches to several papers dated June 24, quoted the president as having spoken aa followa in a recent conversation with a Southern delegation: "Parhelia I comprehend this rape queetion better than you gentlemen think, and sympathize with your feelinga in regard to the colored people more than you know. Certainly, in your place I would feel as you do. Personal contact with an alien raoe in social, political and professional life would not be agreeable to ma. I would not like to aee a negro mayor or poetmaster of Indianapolis, nor reL the power and authority of the Uni States in a fiscal or adminiatrative capacity at my own home. It would not be agreeable to me to practice my profession before a colored federal judge, or to meet a negro at the federal bar as a United States attorney. I do not intend to impoee upon the people of the South, conditiona which I would think rather bard if they were impoeed upon me." Ex-Senator Bruce ana Auditor Lynch called at the Associated Press office, and requested as wide a circulation as possible be given to the following statement, mads by, them in relation to the above. They feel fully authorized to say that the report of auch a conversation is erroneous. They have had occasion to call on the preeident several times, and on each occasion he freely expressed himself on matters pertaining to the colored raoe, and they do not hesitate to say that his views upon the eubjsct are fair and just, and will commend him to the approbation of the colored people throughout the country. The last time they called on him waa on Wednesday, when they presented the address rscently adopted by the oonterenoe of colored men held at Jackson, Miss., on June 13th. That address, among othsr things, declared: "That Mr. Harrison is president, not of one section but of the whole country not ot one race, but of all racea, of which our citizenahip is composed. His ambition is to destroy rather than promote race prejudice and sectional animositiee."

The preeident assured the delegation that his own position upon that subject could not have been more accurately and correctly stated. Colored men, he declared, should hot ask to be appointed

to office simply on account of their color, nor should tne color be a ground of objection. Inlviewof all these facts, it is the opinion of Messrs. Lynch and Bruce that if the colored people will only be patient and oonfide in the preeident they will not be disappointed in their just and reasonable expectations, besides the appointments already made by the prssidsnt ought, they believe, to satiety everybody, that he entertains no such sentiments aa those he is alleged to have expresssd in the above dispatch. They assert positively that he entertains no such sentiments.

CHICAGO'S ANNEXATIONS.

The Greet City Becomes Greater by Absorbing *00,000 People. CHICAGO, June 29.—The queation ot

the annexation to Chicago ot the cloeely adjoining auburbe ot HydeJ*ark, Lake, Lake View, Cicero and Jefferson was voted on to-day. The campaign which has been conducted for several weeks past waa a spirited one, and both Bides nave been making a tremendous struggle. The an tie were generally headed by the present office holders in the suburban governments, who made a bitter, fight against coming into the city. While the official vote from all the points has not yet been announoed, there ia no room for doubt from figurea received, that all the suburbs named have been carried by the annexationists. The various towns give to Chicago an additional population of nearly two hundred thouaana, bringing the total up to probably one million one hundred thousand. The territory annexed will give Chicago a total area (approximately estimated) of about one hundred and seventy-four miles, making it the largest city, in. area, in the United States. All of the suburban towns annexed are built up solidly for milee, radiating from the old city limits. A person unacquainted with the boundaries of Chicago would not know where anyof the towns began, the dividing line being the center of boundary streets.

Speer in the- United Statee court to-day imposed a fine upon Nat Bird song, state jailor, for chaining up by the neck for several hours Joe Warren, a colored United Statea prisoner.

The jailor'a counsel demurred to the jurisdiction of the court, but it waa held that as to the United Statee prisoner the jailor was an officer of the court, and as such amenable to punishment for cruelty. The caee creates some excitement.

THE WM ATTBE OIL WKLtS.

The Most Successful and Yet tha. Quietest of Any With Jthe Drillers.

THB LEADERS ARE DOWN NEAR 1.300 FEET.

Oil Sand at One Or Two Wells Will Be Reached By July 20 tb— Ttie Other Wells.

The paat week haa been the moat successful and at the same time most quiet week in drilling operations, since the finding of oil at the Diall well. Drills hsve been going constantly ainoe midnight on Sunday laat and at none of the wells haa an accident of any consequence occurred to prevent progress. The week haa been more quiet than uaual from the fact that the companies are becoming more conservative, recognizing that it will not be so much of an advantage, as was anticipated, to atrike oil four or five day a ahead of othera. Some rivalry etill exists and this aeema to urge on the workmen in the raoe for firat oil. The Exchange and Kinaer wells still have the lead. Which of the two haa the advantage it would be difficult to determine. The Kinaer people eatimate their depth at 1,250 feet at midnight Saturday, and the Exchange atookholdera place their eetimate at 1,200 for Saturday noon. If theae measures are accurate the Kinser well would seem to be a little ahead, but the lead, if any, ia practically too small to be of consequence. A report, afterward denied, to the effect that a pocket of oil had been atruck at the Exchange well on Friday night, waa in circulation yeaterday. The drill bit waa loat for about half an hour, at the Exchange well, several days ago. The drillmen were fortunate in recovering the tool in BO abort a time. Progreea at this depth is very slow, being about twenty-five feet in twenty-four houra. Yet at an average of twenty feet the oil sand will be reached by July 20th.

Drills were set going at the Acme well, located on the vacant ground south and about half way between the Alden and Elliott welle, 8t 3 o'olock yeaterday afternoon, and before dark material progress had been made. Thie well is to be drilled by M. Halloran, the contractor having the Button-hole in charge.

The Centennial company resumed operations Friday, and their drive pipe ia now nearly down to bed rock. Thia company was unfortunste in having its derrick blown down during the

Bevere

storms about the middle of the month. The Joseph well is now 1,100 feet deep, and good progress is being made. At thia as well aa several other holes, spscial devices for rapid drilling are being used, and there seems some ground for the company's claim of having made the most rapid progress ot all the wells. It is now exactly four weeks since the drills were

Bet

going, and the

toole are within one hundred and fifty feet of the deepest, notwithstanding that the othera have been drilling for aix weeks. This company will contract during the coming week for two 400-barrel storage tanka to Be erected at the well. A 150-barrel cietern on the ground will also be used for storage purposes in the event oil is found. The company does not expect to be able to handle all the oil that will flow in caee the project is successful, but anticipates that the pipe linea will be laid ready to take care of the output in time for them.

The Smith well drills are making good time also, and the claim is made that the record surpasses even the Joeeph pace. The drilla started two weeks ago Tuesday morning and are now down 915 feet. Mr. Jack Corral, the drillman, haa a record for steady work that has not been surpassed. He went on duty Thursday noon and worked until Thuraday midnight, then taking six hours sleep. At the end of the six hours he wss called out to take Bsezzard'a place at the well, the latter being suddenly called back to Ohio. Since that time he haa worked continuously not going off duty until the engine was stopped for Sunday at midnight. This is a record of over forty hour's work with six hours

The Button-hole is 950 feet deep, and a slightly softer limestone haa been encounters. The Big Four is also 950 feet Another accident occurred laat week, but contrary to the previona order of things, did not result seriously. The Elliott well operators were at a standstill part of laat week on account of necessary repairs to the boiler. The Ellsworth tools are down 750 feet The other wells are progressing favorably, so far as could be learned from atockholders.

The McKoen well will ba re-christened, it being the evident wish of the company that it should be known ae the "Vigo welL" A large aignboard on the derrick bears the inscription: "Vigo Oil company." This move of placing a distinguishing mark on the derrick is one the other companies should follow, not only for general convenience, but for the information of the acores of visitors who daily make the rounds.

The Guarantee company is preparing .he pump at the Diall well with steam of home manufacture. A amall tank baa been built above the ground, and in this will be collected aome of the gaa of the evaporation, thia to be uaed for ateam making purpoeee, under a boiler to be purchased. Heretofore steam for pumping purposes haa been secured from the Pbeonix foundry and machine worka.
