A Newspaper Mans Confidence Game.

Along Newspaper Row the ordinary
form of salutation is got anything?"
The usual answers mot line" But oc-
casionally the correspondent addressed
does have a bit of news and communi-
Gates It. Then the other correspondent
is happy, and makes a special dispatch
of what be learns. The truth of the
statements made is never questioned.
John B. Mccarthy, of the Baltimore
San, understood this, and took advan-
tage of the confiding nature of the young
men who send news from Washington,
He evolved from his inner consciousness
Il far-reaching confidence game which
should take in the people of every
State in the Union. 1t was last Thurs
dav The first correspondent to say
got anything?" to him was gentle
man from Georgia. eyes said Nc
Carthv, I've got little thing. Make
good paragraph for Georgia paper. -
What is it?''
"A party of young ladies from Geor-
gia went to Mount Vernon yesterday.
/ don't know all their names, but Miss
Laura Speer and Miss Jessie Hammond
were among them. Miss Speer is fine
singer. and the other young ladies are
musical. They organized a little con-
cert in the Georgia room of the Wash
ington mansion, and delightfully."- enter
tanned the numerous visitors"
The Georgia correspondent was glad
and made his paragraph. The next per
son to question Mccarthy was an In
diana correspondent. Exactlyth same
conversation took place between them,
except that Georgia was changed to In
diana, and the young ladies were Miss
| Holman and Miss Calkins. When a
New York correspondent met him. OF
course the concert was given by party
of young ladies from New York in the
New York room" of the mansion. So
the thing went on, and according to Nc
Carthy, taking them all together, there
must have been several hundred daugh-
tiers and young lady cousins Of Congress
men and Senators at Mount Vernon last
Wednesday.
The result of McCarthy's little schente
was that the people of nearly every
State in the Union read in their home
newspapers on Friday morning that tbs
| rooms in the Washington mansion named
after their States were filled with the

ladies from their own State last Wednes-

Dur Arfesian Wells.

Since the city fathers bored the splendid
artesian well at The Town Hall, and 30
many Of our citizens followed suit, ii has
been pretty clearly demonstrated that the
use Of water from these deep wells Is con-
ducive 10 health. From all with whom we
have conversed on the subject, who have
had an opportunity of testing the water by
a constant use Of 1t, the opinion is that the
water is purer and better IN every respect
than the surface-wate formerly used, and
that The health OF the families who use
artosian water is yisibly better.
We give this statement for the benefit OF
those country friends who have asked Us
how these wells are made. and what Is the
difference between the old-style we'll and
the artesiab. In this country, generally,
wells that are dug yield only surface-water.
The artesian well goes deeper and draws
its supply from veins which have their
source far UP in the highlands. You have
TO draw the water by windlass or pump
from the former. while the artesian well

Considerable shaking Up. But no Serious
Damage.
10y telegraph TO the Dispatch
LYScHBuRG, VA. December 4, 1887.
The powder- magazine OF the virginia
Military Institute. at Lexington, was blown
nm last night. The magazine contained
eco hounds Of cannon-pJwder, and the ex'
p,osion was terrific. The windows OF the
institute were shattered and lights put
out. and houses In Lexington mile away
were shaken to their foundations. The'
maeazinc. which was built OF brick, was
totally blown away. Five cadets who were
di,nissed from the Institute Tuesday for
having powder in their possession are sup
posea 10 have caused the explosion.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The Lexington Gazette, which rescheq
Richmond last night, says: Last evening
about 6 O'Clock the magazine OF the Nir-
ginia Military Institute was blown up aud
Totally demolished. There was about 800
rounds OF powder in the brick magazine.
Fortunately no serious damage other than
the destruction OF the powder and build
ing was done. The explosion was
terrific. Houses in Lexington were
shaken from garnet to cellar; many
OF the lights In barracks were
blown out; brick were thrown AS far as
the Lexington Manufacturing Compauy's
Works. The magazine was situated on the
rlver.eliff back OF the Institute. and not
mole than seventy-tiye yards from the
Richmond and Allegheny railroad track.
There was a train due just about the time
the explosion took place. Had the train
been near the magazine ut the time OF the
blow up. It would most probably have been
brown from the track. Glass were broken
in the barracks and professors houses.
The act is supposed TO have been done
by cadet, and slow fuse must have
been used. Five cadets were dismissed
mt dress-parade Tuesday afternoon for
having some ninety pounds OF State pow
der, wbIch they had stolen, concealed IN
their room. The cadets have for some
weeks been amusing themselves expo
ding bombs, etc., In rear OF barracks,
but this Is the first wanton destruction
Of State property We have ever known.
The loss to the State is about $1,000. The
affair il being thoroughly investigated, and
the guilty party, be he cadet or citizen. will
receive the full benefit Of the law. The
Commonwealth attorney has been asked
to notify the Governor. and have reward
offered for the conviction OF the criminal.
This is a legitimate outgrowth OF the policy
pursued at the Institute for Years OF seeing
bow not to punish cadets in place OF en-
forcing the regulations.
