he took the pistol and told her he would
show her how young man in Mississippi
once killed his sweetheart. at the same time
telling her to turn her head. She
turned and the pistol was accidentally
discharged and the young lady fell forward
on her face corpse. McGee at first said

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-The shackles
that have bound the house of representa-
tives for years have been thrown off, and
it will hereafter have better control of the
business and more freedom for legislation,
according to the will of majority. Mr.
Randall and Mr.. Holman have been
overwhelmed by C. vote of 70 to
226, and in place of three
committees to prepare and control appro-
priation bills there will be eight. The COM
mittee over which Randall presided will
have control of six bills, namely: The sal
ary bill, which is known as the legislative,
executive and judicial, the fortifcation, the
district of Columbia, the deficiency,
the sundry civil and the pension
bill. The membership of the committees
on which additional labor has been inn
posed by the distribution of appropriation
bills has been enlarged, and the extention
of jurisdiction will increase tho Importance
of these committees SO that assignments

Memberships of the general appropriation

measure be applied hereafter to all
of the eight appropriation committees.
Speaker Carlisle will have it

he could have satisfied under the old az

most prudent management on the part of

GAS WELL PHENOMENA.


viii some GeoIogist or Other Scientific
Gentleman Satisfy the Question Below.
Elitsr Of Regirsr:
A natural curiosity witnessed in the
neighborhood of Wheeling induces me to
address you as it may be of interest to
many of your readers
Messrs. Hale L Smith, now drilling q
gas well in Windsor, 10 miles north OF
Wheeling, on the line OF the p. W. 4 Ky
came across flow of natural gas at the
depth OF 400 feet below the
surface. No attention was paid
to it ss such flows are frequently found
in the upper regions and are commonly,
called surface flows. as rule they are OF
short duration. The drilling was continued
and the well cased TO a depth Of 1000 feet
thus shutting off this gas as well as the
water, which had become very troublesome
being forced out almost every hour to
height Of l25 feet, like a regular water
spout, climbing up the line used in the drill
ling and at one time dislocsting the pulley
on top of the derrick, while the drill, weigh
ing 5000 pounds, was suspended in the der
rick 10 the line, which illustrates the power
of the unseen force pushing the water up.
After the well was cased it was found
necessary to leave an opening in the drive
pipe, directly below the derrick, which en-
closes the casing, in order to allow the
water TO escape whtn forced up BY the gas,
which occurred about every five hours.
On Friday, February 9th, being at the
well at O'Clock p. m, a rumbling noise was
heard coming out of the well, followed
almost Immediately BY an eruption of
large volume Of water, which continued
to flow for fully FIVE minutes the
amount of wafer coming out of the
well would have easily filed a 100 barrel
tank. The hole Of the well is 6 inches in
diameter the casing in it 5, inches, barely
slipping in leaving scarcely any vacuum
from where the water was forced out Of, as
the inside of the casing is perfectly dry.
The question now arises where does this
water accumulate in such quantities and
what is the cause of it coming out at inter
walls in large quantities instead of a steady
regular foW2 If any Of your readers can
solve this natural phenouen it would be Of
interest to your
