The well diggers who have been
at work on the well at the corner of
Stinson Avenue and Third street in
form US that that well is no good as it
is now, and that the only thing shat
will Eli the bill for that corner is to
work on the drive well theory, as the
quick sand comes in in such quantities
as to preclude the possibility of using
the ordinary pump at the present
depth. We believe that proper mach
merry and piping has been sent for,
and test for & flowing well will be
made soon. Good artesian wells are
the best and, in the end will be the
cheapest Of all wells, and the matter
Of securing them here should be tested
rs soon as possible.

Marine Notes.

The Joseph L. Hurd, II. c. Page
commander, one of the palatial steam
ers of the Lake Michigan and Lake
Superior Transportation Co, arrived
at Quebec pier from Chicago yester-
day morning with freight for our
merchants. This is the first regular
boat of the season for Superior, and
came to us just as soon as We were
ready to receive her.
The City of Fremont left Chicago
for Superior yesterday with large
cargo Of merchandise, and will arrive
here next Tuesday.
From now until the first of Septem-
Der this company will send one boat
per week to this port, and after that
date all Of its steamers, four in num-
Der, will make regular trips to SUI
perior.
A boat from the Ward line will
also be in with freight next week, and
in a few days that company will have
their arrangements made for running
into this port regularly.
The Iurd had 10 difficulty at all
in entering the bay or coming up to

DIED.

res T-At the residence of the Misses Lobby, in
Superior, H!-., july IA, 1852, Mr. John /. Post.
aged - ycGrs. Funeral from the Church ufthc
kcaeemgr sunday afternoon at o clock.
John T. Post, whose death is above announced
came TO this place about 30 years ago from North
en-, ohio where he had been one Of the foremost
merchants. Commencing here n that early day
lac continued in the mercantile business for some
years from the first always maintaining a high
reputation FOR integrity and strict uprighncss in
all of his dealings. Everybody viii remember
and bear witness, how ready. prompt and acuy-
ate he was in performing his engagements and in
the management Of his affairs. He was man Of
quick undcrstandingand withal of ready witand
genial company.
Tribute to his worth as a peiyhbor, as fellow
citizen, and in all the relations Of society, uni
yersalIy paid him during his lifetime. may well
be accorded now when all these connections
have ceased. or him living, good was always
spoken; Of him dead. nothing less can be.
The virtues in behalf Of which such testimoni-
al is brought. had, in case of the deceased I'M
common merit. perhaps. For among the thorR5
in the flesh which he had to buffet him. was a
torment Of nervous pain. nearly always prescn' +,
incapable of remedy and OF late years c0mpcll-
ing life Of solitary and hopeless suffering. So
that disease with the infrmities of age united to
make existence a burden and death mercifuI
relief.
As in the primitive forest one aged trunk after
another falls under the weight Of time, in the
hour when the last hold Of the firm earth has
given away, SO by this death our early commu-
nifty loses one Of its members, now gathered to
his fathers-au old man and full of years
But the fall was softcncd in its shock by the
ministration OF hands the kindest and most pa
tent. and after lies ftCul fever he sleeps well
let Us hope.

Yellow Fever In Texas.

The outbreak of yellow fever in Texas
is becoming more alarming. There are
from fifty to sixty new cases every day,
and the type of the disease is growing
more malignant. The local authorities
and customs officials are showing nc
signs of decentralization, but are labor.
ing zealously and effectively to prevent
the spreading of the epidemic to ada
cent towns. When this terrible scourge
ravaged the lower mississippi valley in
1873, the National Quarantine Act bad
only been in operation few months
A marked improvement in system and
organization is now observable. The
ravages of the disease began much ear
lier in the former year. The germs
we're imported from st. Thomas before
the first of July, and by the middle Of
the month the disease was epidemic in
New Orleans. By mid. August it had
extended to Memphis, Vicksburg, New
Grenada, Port Gibson, Baton Rouge
and six smaller towns, with sporadic
cases at many other points. By the
first week of November, after there had
been 100000 cases with a mortality of
20, 900, the sanitary authorities at New
Orleans proclaimed the danger of infec-
tion at an end and advised refugees to
return. With the disease confined at
present to single town and military
post, and the season so well advanced,
there are no serious grounds for appre-
hension. The precautions, hewever,
should not be relaxed for q single hour.

An Outrageous Verdict.

The verdict of acquittal rendered by
the Jury in the Garland murder case t
Lunenberg Court House yesterday is a
gross miscarriage of justice, which
makes farce of the trial that has been
gone on there for ten days and is well
calculated to bring discredit upon the
administration of the law in that COM
munity. On the facts proved in evi-
dence and under the law laid down by
the Court Garland Vas clearly guilty of
murder and must have been so found
by an honest, unbiased jury. But the
Jurors in this case evidently paid no at.
tention to either the evidence of the
witness or the instruction Of the Judge.
Their verdict would have been little
less mockery had IT. been rendered
fifteen minutes. after they were en-
panelled instead of fifteen minutes after
they retired, The crowd that jeered
the jury doubtless shared the senti-
ments of the prisoners father, who
impudently boasted when the verdict
was announced that he only blamed
his son for not demanding retraction
from Addison with shotgun loaded
with buckshot and shooting him down
In case of refusal. In Lunenburg coun-
ty the killing of Addison may be
looked upon as chivalry; in less bar
barous communities it will be set down
as cold-blooded murder.-Herald.

From the Indian Country.

The Chiefs, Little She'll, Little Ball
and Red Thunder and their braves, In
Pembina (Dakota) Mountains, have
pledged themselves not to interfere
hereafter with the Customs officers.
Major Sumner, of the Fifth Cavalry,
has advised the War Department that
Red Cloud and the dissatisfied Sioux
have demanded an investigation, and
will put Agent McGillicuddy off the
reservation by force within the notified
so days. Red Cloud, he says, is cool
and determined, and has quite fol-
lowing, which is daily increasing.
Rev. John Robinson. of the P. e.
Church at the Pine Ridge Agency, Da-
kota Territory, writes to the War De.
partment that Red Cloud labors under
the impression that the agency Is his
own private property, and that the
agent and all the whites there have
been sent by the Government to be his
servants.

Oscar Hanged I'M Eflxy.

SPRING LAKE, August 23.-There
was q funny scene on the beach to-day.
An efhgy of Oscar Wilde swung from
the top of the lofty pole which bears
the flag of the bathing industry. Oscar
who was to lecture here tonight, was
announced as intending to bathe in the
surf at eleven this morning.
This announcement brought an i'm
mnase crowd to the beach. The people
anticipated great treat, for compare.
lively few of them had ever seen the
much.a ad vertised apostle of Rstheticism
and none OF them had seen him in the
surf, Eleven o'clock came and passed
and the waiting throng showed signs of
disappointment.
Some blamed Odcar, others blamed his
managers and some blamed themselves
for having subjected themselves to the
risk Eof being badly sold just for the
sake OF gratifying their curiosity.
AS soon as it was definitely known
that the aesthetic had not arrived at
Spring Lake at all the keepers of the
bathing houses prepared stuffed
image of him. They parted It's flowing
hohA Al VIC u1AuuAC1 LOOou ~ III h boDUuu
best bathing suit with knee-breeches
and fastened huge surhower on its
bosom. A pair of corsets ornamented
its cuest and waist.
1t was by no means q handsome
figure. Amid great applause from
boys and oGhers they attached this
spurious Oscar to the rope and ran it
ap to the top of the flag pole, where
with japanese parasol in its Land, 1t
swung and swayed back and forth in
the breeze. They did not treat the
efigy to the indignity Of hanging it by
the neck, but placed the suspending
rope under the nrmpits.
The reason given for this elevation of
the stuffed Oscar by the bathing men
was that he had gone back on them.
1t was not clearly ascertaiued that the
announcement of Mr.. Wilde's inten.
tion to bathe was Official, nor was it
clear that the people had suffered any
damage by his not bathing beyond the
disappointment and the loss Of time.
Some IF the more conservative ones
objected to tho proceeding as an un-
warranted indignity. The younger
people especially the boys, regarded it
as good joke. There was no great OK.
citement, nor were any efforts made to
tear the efgy down.

The Athsnss Ga Banner says:
One day last week gentleman from
Atlanta visited the falls, and with him a
charming daugater just budding into
womanhood. The young lady soon
found among the guests Of the hotel q
young man from Atlanta, who volun.
teered to act as her guide las he knew
every foot Of the country and show
the fair visitor the sights. She thank
fully accepted him as an escort, and on
the secOpd day of her stay the couple
left the hote, for o ramble. They left
about three O'Clock, and at shutdown
had not returned. The father began to
grow uneasy and strolled down as far
as the Grand Chasn to guide them
home. He then returned to the hotel,
expecting that they had arrived by an
other route; but q sad disappointment
awaited him-nothing had been heard
of the pair. He waited an hour longer,
Ia great distress, when q darkness as
black as ink set In. The frantic old
gentleman then explained the cause of
his distress to the male visitors, and
begged that they assist him in the
search. Several squads were at once
organized, equipped with torches, and
the search began. No one could tell in
which direction the young couple had
straysd, and 80 they first visited the
fAlls; peering down all the precipices
and into the pools of water, expecting
to find their mangled remains. The
agony of the father was intense. He
led the search and lecklessly exposed
his life. 1t was ten O'Clock when the
falls were thoroughly explored, when
tains on the opposite side of the river.
This was accepted, and asquad crossed
the bridge, dividing up and going
different routes. One party who decid-
cd to go out among the mountains,
when near the top of one, some dis.
tance from the hotel, thought they
heard moan of distress at some dis.
tance. fastening toward the sound
they discovered the lost couple sitting
at the root OF large tree, and both cry.
ing as If their hearts would break, the
young man having pulled off his coat
to afford the lady seat. 1t seems that
they had rambled among the noun
tains and finally got lost just as night
set in. They rambled around in search |
of path as long as they could see, and |
then fearing that they might stumble
over some precipice in the dark, decid. /
ed to remain where they were until |
daylight. They were carried back In |
triumph to the hotel, and were the
ceutre of attraction. 1t was quite an 4
interesting adventure, and created
quite sensation.
