Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Murray Hartnett, while passing along East Berry street, was drenched by a shower from a hose, and considerable of her valuable apparel utterly ruined. It is claimed that Chief Engineer Vogel, who had charge of the hose and was giving an exhibition test for the benefit of some sight-seers from Richmond, did not exercise discretion, and when waited upon by Mr.

Hartnett in reference to the matter, refused to give that gentleman satisfaction. Mr. Hartnett informs us that he is assured by his lawyers that he has a good show to recover damages of Mr. Vogel. The managers of the whale have been exceedingly troubled by lawless individuals who propose to see the Show without putting up the admission fee required.

A COUiPSED SCHEME. The "Lanelcr" Electric lagbt by the Bnuh cern-CapluUui tjo Back on Lander Aud HI. Ucit. Several weeks ago several gullible 1 city newspapers "bit" with svWity at a scheme which a person named Hicks, endeavored to launch in this cltyto-wit, the establishment of a manufactory for the manufacture of the apparatus for the alleged "Langley" electric light. The GAZETTE did not take much stock in Hicks or his light and was not at all enthusiastic over the man and his glib explanations of the workings of the light.

Yesterday, Mr. Win. F. Swift, representing the Brush Electric Company of Cleveland, the concern which has furnished the electric light for the streets of New York, Mexico, Akron, Wabash. and many other cities and towns, arrived in the eity and was seen by a GAZETTE reporter.

Mr. Swift stated that the object of his visit to the city was to enquire into she operations of individuals having in charge an' electric light known as Professor Langley's. He said that he understood; Mr. A lIBSUIUtEK NIBHT'S DREAM Even- IBS -Thcr meet ana They Imagl-ie TnCTTraauaet Some. Bnrinraa.

The following are the only ones of general interest: A petition by J. B. White asking that his unexpired Grand opera-house license be transferred to the firm of Brooks Dickson, to be used at the Academy of Music, was referred to the committee on finance. A petition by Boseker White and McKean O'Rourke, asking that the water mains be extended to their neighborhood, was presented and referred to the committee on waterworks, with power to act. The report of the committee on streets was submitted and concurred n.

The committee on sewers submitted to file complaints against all persons in any wuy obstructing the public streets and alleys, was adopted. A resolution Instructing the committees on public grounds and buildings, police and fire department, to advertise for proposals to furnish the coal needed for city uses, was adopted. A resolution providing that no more park lots be sold by the city, and that the same be laid aside for the purpose of a public park, was referred to the mayor and finance committee. Various proposals were at this time opened, read and appropriately disposed of. A resolution'declariug the seat of Councilman McCulloch vrcant was introduced by Hettler and referred the clerk with instructions to co, municate with the absent councilm and ascertain whether or not he tends to return.

A resolution to adjourn until A gust 8th at 7:30 p. m. was unanimon ly adopted. PEBSOSAL. Colfax will not lecture here.

Fred Walters, an Aveline house porter, was arrested last night for being drunk and abusing the night clerk, William Sprandle. The young man was bailed out by a friend who undertook to keep him quiet the rest of the night.

It seems that Chief Vogel previous to the contemplated 4th of July celebration, insisted upon the minute men appearing in new uniforms, and as they allege without their consent, docked them four dollars apiece for that purpose and drew that amount on his own warrant from the city treasurer.

The council last evening passed a resolution providing will be the purchaser. The Academy of Music when lighted up looks very pleasant and Manager Scott proudly surveyed th? embellishments by gas light last evening. The managers of the whale have been partially successful in interesting Fort Wayne capitalists in the purchase of territory with a view to establishing a factory here. He had inspected the Langley lamp and machine at Evans, McDonald Co 's store and pronounced the lamp an infringement on the Brush lamp in several of its most notable features. Mr.

Swift said somewhat warmly that Prof. Langley will probably change his statements relative to Mr. Brush learning what he knows of electricity from him (Langley) when the Brush company's patent attorneys get after him. Mr. R.

T. McDonald and others interested will probably visit the Brush works at Cleveland before concluding arrangements for the manufacture of the Langley light, and as the Brush people are prepared to prove to them the direct infringements, on the part of Langley, they will probably be disposed to abandon all idea of going into that light, and will accept advantageous terms for the formation of a local Brush company, which will likely be made them in Cleveland. If anyone desires to manufacture the Langley apparatus in Indiana, he can readily do so without purchasing any interest of Mr. Langley, as the professor seems to have copied his machine from a number of others. In any event the and sand pit contrasts and bondi were submitted and approved.

Among the rest was a contract by Geary. J. H. WELCH, W. DOEHKMAN, I CHAS.

We would like to reprodu in full Mr. Murdock's exhaustive a dress, but must content ourselves stating that the fund of informatio possessed by him regarding the coa dition of Ireland is almost limitles and his vigorous denunciation of th miserable system of landlordism which prevails in that afltietet country met with a spontaneous proval from the audience. For a hour and a half the speaker held auditors intently interested and th general and expressed wish was atth close that Mr, Murdoch might be per mitted to address a Fort Wayne au dience again and speedily.
