THE CRY FROM MACEDONIA.
Many Afflicted Towns Along the River
Forced to Appeal for Help.
The Board of Trade Committee Actively
Begins the Work of Relief-GOv. Porter
Issues a Call to the State.

Appeals for aid were received yesterday morn
ing by the Board of Trade relief committee from
the flooded towns on the Ohio river, and active
work was at once begun. During the first few
days of the rise of the waters it was believed
that the devastation of the flood would not be so
great, and the committee, not expecting that
there would be so much suffering as last year,
made no call for contributions, supposing that
the bal ance left from the fund raised in 1888
would be sufficient for such needs as
they would be called upon to supply. 1t
is evident, however, from the unprecedented
rise of the water during yesterday, and from
the appeals for aid which were received, that
there will be fully as much suffering, if not
more, than a year ago A dispatch was re-
ceived yesterday morning from Samuel Dickin-
son, township trustee and chairman of the relief
committee at Lawrenceburg, stating that sup
ply of provisions was needed Immediately and
asking if Indianapolis could furnish any relief.
A telegram was also received from Mayor Glass,
of Jacksonville, stating that the town was
flooded, and appealing to the relief committee to
''send help as soon as possible" At the noon
meeting of the Board of Trade it was decided to
issue call for contributions and the following
committee:
To the Citizens of Indianapolis:
It has again become necessary to call upon the cit
of indianapolis to make voluntary contributions
for the relief of feow-citzens at Lawrenceburg
and Jacksonville.
The food has reached the height of last year
The committee of last year viii have in charge the
distribution of funds and provisions.
The money left over from last year is already ex-
hausted. More money is needed Immediately.
No personal calls will be made, as the de-
mands great. There is time for personal ap-
peal
We ask the citizens to make voluntary contributions
of money at once
Donations may be left at the Indiana National Bank
the Meridian National Bank, at Fletcher g. Sharpes
bank at Byram, Cornelius & Co.'S, and with J. G.
Blake secretary of the Board of Trade or with any

mediate purchases.

Hiring Farm Work.

II. A. Haigh. of Michigan in American Agriculturist
Where IA farmer hires man for q definite
term of service and for definite rate of wages,
to do a specified kind of work, the contract is
express. But where the farmer simply requests
the man to work for him, and nothing is said
about the time pay, or where the relation of
employer and employee is formed without a full
and definite understanding the contract is i'm
piled, and its lacking terms conditions must
be supplied by law contract of hiring for
one year or less need not be in writing. If for
less than year, it is not binding unless in
writing, and either party can terminate the
agreement at pleasure.
Where the hiring is for definite time, both
parties are bound by it until the time expires.
The employer mast furnish work, and the EN-
ploye must labor to che end If the master dis
charges the workman without legal cause before
the time expires, the workman will be entitled
to his wages up to the time of his discharge and
also such damages as he has suffered by being
thrown out of his job These damages will prob
ably be the amount of wages up to the end of
the time of hiring, less what the workman has
earned or might have earned at other employ
ment If the workman leaves without legal
cause before his time is up, the great weight of
authority is that he is not entitled to any com
pensaton for the time that he has worked
though several highly respectable courts have
held that under such circumstances he has the
right to the wages due him up to the time of
leaving, less the damages occasoned to his EN-
ployer by his leaving.

Digging Wells.
Massachusetts Ploughman.

The old way of digging a well and stoning it
up, so as to leave it about three feet in diam
eter, is a very good one if the water is to be
drawn up with buckets; but if only with a
pump, it is very poor way; for it, as is the
usual custom, the well be covered at the top, it
leaves IA very large space for dead air, which so
often becomes so bad that it affects the quality
of the water and also makes it unsafe to enter
the we'll When q well thus stoned has only a
pump in it, the covering should be under water
very near it, but if it is known that only
pump is to be used, the expense of Stoning may
be saved, and the water kept in a much better
condition. This is done by digging the well in a
dry time, and when dug as low as possible
a cement pipe some two feet in diameter
and two or three feet long, is sunk at the bottom
and worked down as low possible by digging
out the inside. The pipe should be covered with
a fat stone through the middle of which two
inch hole has been drilled; directly over this
hole STAND up drain-pipe then begin to fill the
hole. When filed as high ) the top of the first
piece of drain-pipe put another, being careful
to have it straight with the other and the line
perpendicular; continue filing and adding drain
pipe until it is as high the surrounding
ground; or, if the pump is not to stand directly
over the we'll then when it is filled within four
feet of the surface put in the pumppipe and
lead it off in trench to where the pump is to
stand. When it is found that the pipe is all
right, finish filling the WELL leaving some dur
able mark that the position of the well may be
known
A well of this kind is reliable and permanent, re
curing no repairs; the water is cool and free from
impurities that open wells are subject to; no in
sects or animals can find their way into it, and
the cost is not more than Oneh half that of well
that is stoned. If dug, as it should be, when
the springs are low, constant supply of water
that is rs pure as the underground spring is Sc
cured. AS the well is always full, there is no
chance for bad air to iniure the water, and in
fact but little danger of being polluted by sur
rounding cesspools compared to that of open
wells
