agitating the subject of starting n
college paper, to be published by the
literary societies, issued monthly and
to contain at least thirty two pages,

ing the matter was freely discussed
in each society, and resulted in the
appointment of a joint committee to
consider the feasibility of the enter

make it financial success.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT!
TWO MEN DIE IN A WELL
From the Effect of CarbOnic
Acid Gas.

On last Friday, the 18th inst, one
of the most distressing accidents that
it has ever been our duty to chroni-
Gle, occurred about two miles north
of town, at the residence Of Col. Jos.
Snider, and resulted in the death of
Peter Mollisey, and a young man
from Evansville, Preston coanty,
named Wheeler Costello. Mollisee
had been engaged in cleaning the
well, and at the bottom of it was
overcome by the gas. An effort was
made to rescue him by Col. Snider' S
son. but without success. Costello
then made desperate effort to save
the dying man descending to the bot
tom of the well to tie rope about
him, that he might be drawn up. Be-
fore he could accomplish his task, he
was also overcome by the gas and
dropped to the bottom, though he had
assembled several feet before he be-
came unconscious. At this critical
juncture no one could be found who
would go into the well, and the I'M
fortunate men were left to their sad
fate. They were in the well nearly
an hour, and were finally taken out
by George Smith, though both were
dead. Dr. Price and a number OF
others arrived about the time they
were taken out, and applied all the
remedies possible, but without effect
Mollisee was about thirty-fiye years
of age, and leaves wife and two
sons, ten to twelve years of age. lie
was an honest, respectable citizen
Costello was a bright young man.
about twenty one years of age, and
was, at the time of his death, a stu.
dent in the University. For a long
time he was a clerk in Ilanshaw d
Bro. S store in Grafton, and we are
told that he was a popular and elf
cient clerk, and was highly esteemed
bv all who knew him. His remains
were taken to Evansville on Saturday
and inferred on Sunday.
