the workhouse for 80 days for cruelty to his
family. The testimony showed that the par
ticular offense for which he was arraigned
was-not an isolated one, but had been re-

judge, in sentencing him, said it seemed
strange that man of his intelligence and
standing in the community, who often had
been noted in that very court as one of the
most persevering witnesses against those
who were cruel to animals, should be
brought there for cruelty to women.

Miss Helen M. Knowlton's charcoal draw
ings are much admired in Boston, where
forty of them are now on exhibition at Lom-

method is of solid sort, which leads her to
plow her charcoal into her paper, so to speak,
until the effect is more like painting than
anything SO dry and apparently intractable
OF tone as charcoal is; and that she is more
of colorist in charcoal than in oils, showing,
indeed, in many works in the present collec-
ton mostexquisite tones and gradations,

sunk In This City Already Well Under
WRy-The Boring.


As stated yesterday, boring was COM
menced Saturday on the Central Glass
Company's gas well, on the creek bottom
near the works. The process OF sinking
well is interesting in the extreme. Through
the soft earth for good distance under
the surface large pipe, eight or nine
inches in diameter, is driven by steam
hammer. As one section OF pipe reaches
the surface another section is screwed on.
When substance so hard as to resist the
driving process is reached, the earth is
removed from the large pipe. This work
Is unique. The earth is.punped out just
as water is pumped from a well, first being
mixed with water TO a consistency which
permits this. When this is completed the
drill is sunk through this large pipe, and
the boring commences. :.
Not far from the location OF this we'll
there was formerly salt well, in boring
which, at depth Of only 500 feet, gas was
struck, aud its flow was 80 great that the
work OF boring the well had 10 be aban.
doned. The gas was lighted, and burned
for months. m.I i-.r.s... ......
Mr.. Reymann started an artesian well at
his brewery, but when about the same
depth was reached encountered signs OF
gas and as the well was inside the building,
and there was danger oil blowing up the
brewery, he stopped work and plugged up
the hole. He has contracted with the par.
ties who sunk the Moundsyille well to bore
ono for gas near his brewery. The Glass
Campany's well is being sunk by the firm
which bored those at Wellsburg and Bril-
liant.

The Uouniry's crops.

New YORK, May 2l.-The Times, in a
twenty,one column crop article, saws the
wheat crop will probably exceed that Of
the average Of the last len years, 354 IoO0, 600
bushels, but will fall below last years enor-
nous product OF 5O2, ,000, 900 bushels. The
Central States will yield from 20 to 25 per
cent less thaa 1882, against which is offset
great gain in the Northwest and central
Western States and Territories. A consid-
erable part Of the falling off Of the wheat
product is due TO the fact that large West
ern farmers find it desirable to turn their
crops into corn, and feed the corn, thus
producing cattle, more easily handled and
at less expense.

Look out for n Drop Ia Iron.

, PITTSBURGH, May 2L-The application Of
George l. Whitney, assignee Of James
Marshall & Co., for an injunction upon the
Pittsburgh Insurance Co. and James Cor
don to restrain them from proceeding to
sell about 1900 tons Of pig iron tomorrow
was argued this morning in Common
Pleas MOL. Robert Arthurs, attorney for
the assignee, maintained that legal de.
mand has not been made by defendants for
the payment OF their claim, amounting to
about S25, 900, and also that the charter OF
the insurance company forbids such invest
ments. John A. Wilson, Esq, attorney
for the defendants. argued that legal de.
mand had been properly made, and read
atiidavits in support OF his position. The
Court was OF the opinion that 1t was not q
case in which restraining order could be
granted, and therefore refused the iDjunc.
tion, and at the same time allowed the
plaintiffs to withdraw the bill.
7 PtrrsDuRGH, May 2l.-Fitteen hundred
OF the SIX thousand tons Of pig iron held
by James Marshall & Co. at the time OF
their failure, will be sold tomorrow to
make good the claim OF $25, ,0o0, held by

Vermont Forests and private Property
-.5 Destroyed by Fire

MONTPELIER, VI, May 2l,-At Groton
Pond, % miles from here on the
line Of the Montpelier 4 Wells
River Railroad, last Saturday there
was the most destructive forest fires ever
known in Vermont 1t originated by burn.
ing brush about noon, and the wind blow
ing gale swept everything before them.
The flames first burned the the depot, water
house and 400 cords Of wood OF the Mont
pelier &Wells River Railroad. At Gorton
Pond they swept away the mill proper,
a large steam mill with several
thousand dollars worth OF machinery, one
large and several small tenement houses
occupied by twenty families, store, over
two hundred thousand feet Of dressed lum-
Der, four hundred cords OF bark, several
barns, 5S OK sleds, three car loads OF hay,
23 freight cars, live stock and nearly all the
personal property OF the families. Men,
women and children have taken refnge on
a pond in boat and on raft The mill
property was owned by Alvin Baldwin, OF
Wells River. The loss Is estimated
at over hundred thousand with
small insurance. Families are rendered
destitute Some fifteen men, women
and children came here late Saturday
night.
After burning the mill property the fire
passed along the line Il the railroad, some
three miles to Peabody station, burning
the depot and all buildings there. The
entire territory on both sides Of the track
for about six miles Is perfect waste, tim
ber, buildings and everything burned, and
the track was destroyed so that trains were
delayed twelve hours. The track has
been relaid and travelling has since been
uninterrupted. The loss to the rail-
road is $4,000. A gang Of men
saving wood for the railroad
and living In cars at Groton
Pond station barely escaped with their
lives. John Morse was seriously burned.
It is not known whether any persisted in
the woods or not. There were several mar
row escapes. Baldwin, inspector OF the
mills. was forced 10 take refuge in a brook
running under the railroad and kept i'm.
mersed for some time. The Ere 10 Hale's
Woods, Darlington, is now under control.
Loss $4,000. Several woods in the vicin-
lily near the railroad took fire within the
last few days, destroying much timber.
