Story of q Texas Well.

| heard of well in Burkville, Texas,
in which the empty bucket would de-
scend and its mate ascend with water,
without any known force being exert
ed. The well and buckets are arrang-
ed, as is common here, with pulley,
rope and two buckets. | denounced
the story as untrue when told to me, but
wrote to Judge M. D. Hines, owner of
the property on which the well is situ-
ated, and received in reply the follow
ing letter
"lours of the 19tE inst. to hand and
contents noted. I have to reply that
the well you inquire about belongs to
me that some ten years since it COM
menced drawing water; that is the
empty bucket would go down and a
bucket of water would come up and
remain at the top of the well without
any known cause. 1t has been kept up
ever since at intervals. There is no
regularity about it; it will as often
draw at any hour of the night as other
times 1t has been known to draw
three or four times day. There seems
to be no difference in it as regards the
weather or the seasons of the year. 1t
has never been known to draw up water
when there was water in the top bucket.
There is no known cause for this strange
occurrence.

That Counterfeit Dollar.

Some time ago 1t was mentioned that
counterfeit Bland dollar had been
showed on ex-Chief Of Police William
Myxwell, while he was selling tickets
at picnic. The dollar stuck to him
with all the persistency of grim death
to a defunct Ethiopian, until one even
ing recently when he got clear of it for
short time in the following manner:
Mr.. Maxwell with several others
were sitting in a segar store, when some
of the party commenced to tease him
about the bogus coin, and theproprietor
said he couldn't see how he came to
take it, and that no one could pass such
dollar on him. After he had boasted
for some time the conversation turned
en- other topics, when one of the party
obtained the dollar from Mr.. Max
well, and stepping up to the counter,
called for segars for all present, and
carelessly threw down the dollar in pay
ment.
The segar man swept 1t into the
drawer, and handed him the change,
and in short time another man came
in to settle little account, and handed
the proprietor five-dollar gold piece,
and received the bogusBand in change.
AS all the party knew him, nothing was
said and he walked out with it in his
pocket. The next morning his wife
wanted some money, and he handed her
the coin, which she returned as cOun-
terfeit, and he, after studying awhile.
took 1t back to the segar man, who as
soon al he saw 1t pronouced it the one
Maxwell had, but could not tell how he
came to get it. That evening it was
handed back to the one it started from,
but the segar man no longer wonders
how it was that Mr.. Maxwell came to
take 1t In the hurry and hustle OF selling
tic kets to q crowd.

The Striking Telegrsphers.

NEW YORK, August 15.-The West
ern Union officials said this morning
that everything was remarkably quiet,
that the wires were not tampered with
last night, anil that consequently there
was no delay In getting to work this
morning. They also stated that busi.
ness was increasing every day, and
they were able to handle it promptly,
notwithstanding all reports to the con-
trary. The attitude Of the Western
Union Company remains unchanged
with regard to the strike, and there Is
now apparently very little prospect that
the Brotherhood will obtain what it has
demanded. 1t is said that there are
many among the striking operators who
have begun to fesl that 1t Is useless to
continue the fight any longer, and they
predict that failure of the strike will
be the death of the Brotherhood of Tele-
graphers, as 1t was of the League thir-
teen years ago.
At noon to-day committee Of six
striking operators, formerly employed
by the Western Union Telegraph Com
pony, waited on General Eckert and
asked for an interview, which was
granted. The committee men said they
represented the Morse operators, the
Wheatstone operators and the linemen
in the employ Of the Western Union,
but that their call was not to be con-
sidered as a weakening on the part of
Brotherhood. Their purpose was to
inquire on what terms the men would be
taken back into the service. General
Eckert said he would recommend that
those now out should apply to their
respective Superintendents as to the
terms for resumption Of work.
The Executive Committee of the
Western Union Telegraph Company met
today. Among those present were Jay
Gould, Russell Sage, Cyrus Field,
Harrison Durkee and General Eckert.
Routine business only was transacted,
and no reference was made to the strike.
After the meeting the committee held
an informal conference In regard to the
application of the committee of strikers
to General Eckert, and heartil y indOrsed
his action in referring them to their
Superintendent for information az to
the terms upon which they will be taken
back.

The Presldent's Trip.

CAMP BISHOP, Forks of Wind River,
WV, August IA, via Fort Washakie,
Aug. 15.-The President and party are
encamped at the forks Of the Wind
river upon the same ground occupied
last year by General Sheridan. The
camp was then named Camp Bishop, In
honor Of Mr.. H. II. Bishop, of New
York, who was member of the Gene
rails party, and the name has been re-
tained for the present camp here The
party will remain here to-day for the
double purpose Of atfording an oppor-
tunity for various members to hunt
and fish and 10 arrange the pack loads.
This is the supply camp, whence the
the party will have to take on the
packs, rations aud forage enough to
last through to the Yellowstone Park.
The President, who Is in fine health
and spirits, has gone on horseback,
with General Sheridan, a short distance
up the main fork of the Wind river,
wrongly called by the people of the
country Denoir creek, where the Pres
ident last evening caught some fine
trout, and all the other members Of the
party have gone either hunting on fish
ing. The march Of 10 miles, from
Camp Stager to this point, led through
the beautiful scenery of the Upper
Wind river, where gorgeOusly colored
and fantastically-shaped mountains
alternate with those which are covered
with grassy slopes and timbered ra-
vines.
The weather is delightful, and the
march was thoroughly enjoyed by
everybody. Three antelopes, bear,
several grouse and a rabbit were brought
into camp last night by the hunters OF
the party, no there is at present no i'm
mediate danger of starvation for any
body. The result OF to-day's sport will
have to remain over for to morrow's
chronicle.

Robbed His RO0m1nates.

For some time past, colored man
named Wesley De unison has been
boarding at No. 317 East Thirteenth
street, at which place two other men
named Levi Green and Robert w.
Lingham, both colored also boarded.
On Wednesday evening, August 8th,
Green and Lingham had gone out, and
in short time afterward the landlady
heard some one moving around In
their rooms and upon ascertaining
that it was Dennison offered to procure
a light, when he answered that he
could do all he wanted to do in the
dark"
In little time he went out, but re-
turned, and after being up stairs for .
half hour or more went out again and
did not return until the next morning.
When Green and Lingham came in
hey found that their room had been
ransacked and number of articles
taken, among which was $40 in sill
yer and notes, silver watch, pair of
shoes and $50 worth of clothing. A
warrant was sworn out for Dennison,
but az he did not tempt to leave the
city he was not arrested till yesterday,
when officer Thomas having secured
sufficient proof took him in custody.
He had hearing before Squire ONeill
last evening, when the circumstaut tial
evidence was 30 convincing that he
was ordered to furnish $500 bail for
Court.
