Marine City (Mioh.) Gazette.
Mr.. Soseph Hahn, who lives some three
or four miles west Of Marine City, has
been for some time engaged in sinking
IN artesian we'll. On Monday night the
anger had penetrated to depth of 1875
feet, and the next morning an air or gas
chamber was reached. Then occurred a
phenomenon which the bystanders will
be not likely soon to forget. In the
twink!ing ofan eye, upon the removal of
the anger, the wooden tubing shot out of
the we'll like stone driven from cata-
putt, followed by volume of gas, water,
gravel, and mud that roso full 200 feet in.
to the air, while the trembling earth, the
roaring torrent, and tho descending debris
made Mr.. Hahn and his co.laborers think
they had struck the regions internal.
Stones weighing from 10 to 20 pounds
were projected into the air, and some of
them fell crashing through the roof of
Mr.. Hahn's house, near by; in fact, the
family were obliged to seek sholtcr at q
neighbours for human life was not safe
moment in the farm house. In the neigh.
borhood of MIR: Hahn's farm a stone, largo
or small was rarely found, but now they
can be taken away by tho carload. The
heavy logchain binding the derrick was
cut by tho flying missiles into dozens of
pieces, aud one of the timbcrs was blown
away as by the breath OF a cyclone. The
discharge Of mud and water soon began
to overflow the poor mans crops; it was
as if waterspout had burst and the foods
of heaven let loose. For eight or ten
hours this extraordinary we'll kept emit
ting mud, water, gas and stones; all
around, on field, barn and house had SET
tied leaden hue; the corn was broken
off and uprooted by the flood; the honse
and barn were riddlcd by falling stones;
destruction was visible on every side. It
was then noticed that the subterranean
monster was pretty we'll blown, and al
though it kept up a furious bowling, its
force was spent. It is estimated that
some 500 cubic yards of clay and bowl
ders were cast out of the we'll Hundreds
have been out to see it, and hundreds
more will probably go. The damage
done to Mr.. Hahn's property is very
great

Murder Most Foul and Unnatural.

Cincinnati Special (lsth) to Chicago Tribune.
The horse-auction market on Fifth street
is always the scene Of turbulence and
noise, frequently of angry disputes, quar-
rels, and violation Of law. It is the resort
of a reckless and more or less desperate
class Of men, who, for want Of better
designation, may be termed horse sharps
They are men who live by their wits in
horse trades, thoroughly unscrupulous,
tricky, and unreliable, A tribe of whisky
parasites adhere to the horse-market and
deal out the liquid hell that fires the
horsc-dealers' brains, and, III the main, &C.
counts for the evil passions which lend q
certain terror to the place. This after
noon the horse market was the scene of
the most shocking fratricide that has ever
occurred in the history Of the city. The
actors in the tradegy were Thomas Moran,
Nicholas Moran and William Moran,
brothers, over fifty years of age and heads
of families. During the settlement Of
business of the day these men, horse
sharps in every sense Of the term, became
involved in a quarrel, and in a few min
utes came to blows. 1t was an old diff
Guilty, a repetition of a wrong on the part
Of William Moran, which drew down up
on him the vengeance of his exasperatcd
brothers. The big crowd Of horsemcn
and loafers sympathized with Thomas and
Nicholas, and formed circle around the
trio to see it, William was soon knocked
down, and, while his brothers showcred
torrent of oaths terrific to hear, they liter
ally kicked his skull to pieces, and only
desisted when the poor, bleeding form
that was their brother, ceased to breathe.
In all the crowd not one offered to inter-
fere to prevent the shocking deed, but
when i: was over, the police appeared and
arrested the fratricides. Toni ght they
arc in the policies station, crying because
their brother was dead He was quar-
relsome, bad man, terror among the ter
rible men of the place, but the cnormity
of his taking off has stricken the stolid
natures Of the horse-sharps with horror,
and the sickening tragedy wears a pecu-
liar air of grimness tonight that even the
habitues Of the region DO not care to dis
turb.

Promise GUS Shooting ut Burglar.

The Dayton (Ohio) Journal has the fol-
lowing: A few nights ago the inmates Of
a certain house were alarmed about mid
night by the lady Of the house shouting
for help, a burglar having entered her
room. A gentleman who occupied with
his wife an adjacent room, being awake,
instantly seized revolver and stepped in
to hall to intercept the burglar, or rem
der what aid he might. 1t was so dark
that human figure could not have been
seen yard distant, the rain pouring in
torrents, and the situation generally fright
full. Awaiting developments, he discov-
cred in room he had just left what he
supposed to be dark lantern slowly NOV.
ing across the room. He rapidly fired
twice at the light, which was cxtinguish-
ed after the first shot. and being unable
to determine the result, called out, "who's
there:"
Imagine his establishment when his
wife answered, and his CONSERVATION
when be asccrtained that she was the
target at which lie had been shooting.
Immediately, the alarm being given,
his wife had also left the bed and lighted
a match, intending to light lamp, and it
was the buring match that her husband
mistook for the burglars dark lantern.
Both shots were uncomfortably near strik-
ing her, the last one dashing the plastering
from the wall into her face.
Names and location are omitted by re-
quest, the incident being related more
particularly as caution against the use
OF fire arms in the darkness, or in case of
sudden alarm, than for its features as a
thrilling incident that might have been a
tragedy.

Experimentally tho English Govern.
ment discovered that the most effective
remedy for crimes Of violence against the
person was violence to the person of the
offender. The London Daily Telegraph
thus describes the whipping Of two youths
convicted of robbery with violence:
"Debus was the first who was fast.
ened to the whipping block. He was
only thin stripping, and his skin ap.
peared very thin and white. AT the first
lash. there was a broad, angry red mark
all across the shoulders, and the prisoner
began to shrek and entreat for mercy in
tones of the utmost anguish. At every
lash his cries seemed to increase, aud in
piteous tones he entreated the warder to
have mercy. Two warders were employ
ed to infllct the punishment, and they
went about their work in q very cool
manner, and Of course, the cntreatics of
the culprit fell upon deaf cars. The
stripes came down leisurely, and the
Chief Warder called out the number after
each until the whole were inflicted. De-
buss gave deep sigh of relief when he
was taken down, and he was at once re.
moved to his cell. The other prisoner,
Lewis, although the youngest Of the two,
bore his punishment with greater forti.
tude than his companion, although he
shricked and cried piteously while the
sentence was being inflicted. They both
received the full measure of cEastisement
and there was no doubt that they suffered
very severely, The only persons present
were Mr.. Sidney Smith, the Governor of
Newgate; Mr.. Gibson, the surgeon one OF
two officials of the Jail, and some repre-.
sentatives of the press. 1t is a fact that
is not generally known that the whip
ping-block now made use of is the same
instrument that was used more than half
century ago, when prisoners, for certain
offenses, were logged in public in the
yard Of the Sessions House in the Old
Bailey. That punishment having been
abolished, the whipping-block was laid
by as useless, and slowed away for more
than sixty years, till, under the recent
change in the law as regards the offense
of garroting, it again came into use.'

hen Wheeler prepared those Rest

When Wheeler prepared those Resolu-
4ions for Pages convention, why didn't he
include something about the reduction of
Push's bail bond, and the schcming BY
which the forger was released from custo-
dy. Wheeler ought to know all about it
being Pugh's attorney, and he has such
a high regard for the "public interest"
the people naturally expect him to tell
what lie knows and if he neglects to
60 so, we fear they will look upon him
with "disfavor."

THE REASON WHY.

1t has been noticed generally that the
st. Paul Dispatch is striving to create the
that the Republican party, and
especially its candidate for Governor is
using fabulous sums of money in the CAM
paipn. If the Democrats can be made to
believe what the Dispatch says, they will
respond with a liberal sum for the print
ing and distribution of speeches and docu-
ments, out of which Hall will realize q
handsome profit, and that is tho reason
why he invented that "&50,000," fiction.
