MIR. George McQuilkin has just sue
at his new dwelling house on west High
street lie used an inca and "a half pipe,
and ut a depth of twenty four feet struck IL
fine stream of water with pressure Sutfi
Gent to force it nearly to the top of the
pipe. TO test its volume he had it pumped
for ten consecutive hours, and the
supply was apparently as near unfailing at
the end of that time as when he began.
These wells not only cost less than the old
style, but they have many advantages over
them. No outside filth or vermin like
snails, Nc, can get into them, and if the
stream of water fails, all that has to be
done is to attach more pipe and drive it
down until another water vein is reached.
They can be driven anywhere except in a
location underlaid with solid rock. Under
ordinary circumstances if rock is met the
pipe is Withdrawn and another location
chosen, and so on until a clear way is
found, or if the rock is not too far below the
surtace it is a common thing to dig down to
it and blast it out. In sinking his well Mr..

How She Fared in New York at the Hands
of His Supposed Friends.
Mrs. Odlum, the mother of Professor
Odlum, of Washington city, who lost his
life in jumping from the Brooklyn bridge,
returned home from New York on We'd
nesday.
She stated that she went to Boyton' S
saloon on Friday night to get from him
any letters or papers her son had left,
and Bvyton sent word to her he would
call on her at the hotel. This he did not
do, but the next day two persons repre-
senting themselves as Judge and law
yer respectively, and friends of Boyton,
did call. They did not give her any pa
pers or letters, and tried to impress her
with the idea that there had been a thor
ough Investigation by the coroner and
jury, and the public was satisfied that
no one was responsible for her sons
death excepting himself. She was also
told that she should be very careful how
she talked. as there were papers in ex-
istence which would be damaging to her,
and that she had better give nothing to
the press. Her visit was entirely unsuc-
cessful, for she got but little information

The fight of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company for an entrance INTO
Philadelphia is still going on. A special
meeting of the City Council committee
was held on Wednesday, when argu-
ments and petitions for and against the
proposed route We're heard. The great
bugaboo is the grade crossings. No d.
rect opposition to the road entering the
city is made, but property owners and
others interested in the section of the
city traversed by the line as laid down
object only to the company being allowed
to cross the streets at grade. They con-
tend for either overhead or underground
crossings. Objection is also made to the
erection of a bridge across the Schuylkill
river, the objectors claiming that the
charter does not permit it, and that they
must therefore tunnel the river. In the
House of Representatives at Harrisburg,
the Senate bill prohibiting railroads from
entering Philadelphia at grade was re-
ported negatively from the committee.

THE BARTHOLDI STATUE.

Our Sister Republic of France gave Us
the Bartholdi Statue of Liberty n COM
memoration of our attainment of the
First Century of National Independence.
1t is at once the grandest and most mag
nifcent gift ever made by one country to
another. The cost Of the Statue was
$3.50, 900, which was raised among the
French people by popular subscription.
1t was left to America to prepare suit
able Pedestal for this colossal work
About $1S5, 900 was raised through the
American Committee, but that was $780,
900 short of enough to complete the Ped
estal on scale of magnitude correspond
ing to the Statue. When there appeared
no hope of securing the needed 500, 600
and when it was declared by the Ameri
can Committee, in an address issued to
the public, that if the money was not
forthcoming the statue would have to be
returned to the people who out of their
admiration for our free institutions and
love of patriotism had given it, the honor
of our country was thrown into jeopardy,
and it was at this juncture, now two
months ago, that the New York World
issued an appeal to the people to make
up the sum required by popular subscrip
ton. The response has been wide aud
deep and general. At the close OF the
eighth week we have about $50, 900 Oh
hand which has been contributed by
more than $4,000 people. Seldom has
there been seen in the history of our
country reader or more enthusiastic
response to the call of Patriotism. The
French ship bearing the Statue of Liber-
ty to US has already left its port on the
the other side of the Atlantic, and is eX-
pected to arrive here about the 10th of
June. 1t is hoped that the |EorId's fund
| will be far on the way towards 800, 0G0

pieces of the wonderful ringing rocks for
an octave, and were entirely successful
in their venture. The stones weigh from
three to four pounds, G being the small
est, up to boulder of forty to fifty
pounds, which gives the sound of L very
nicely. Mr.. w. f. Stroll is the per-
former, and, by tapping them with two
small hammers, after the manner of
playing the xylophone, he extracts clear
and distinct sounds from the instrument,
which has been christened the 'Rocko-

neer, ''did | ever see any grasshoppers?
Should say did. In 1871 | was run

There want nothin' left standin' around
there but the telegraph poles an wires
an the poles were beginnin' to wobble.
The 'hoppers were 50 mad when they
tackled the wires an found they couldn't

and the wires were a continual streak of.
fire. OF course, the track was covered
with 'hoppers a foot thick an there
want no use in trying to go ahead. We
showed into 'em several times, with
throttle wide open, but we couldn't get
more than train length. Pretty soon

fire from the box. There we was, stuck,
fifteen miles from the nearest station,
with foot O gIasshoppers on the track

it? Why we We're afraid of our lives.
''lf the hoppers had had to stay there

those round us began to rise an we

so dark we couldn't see nothin' an we
lit the headlight. All of a sudden dis |

it was? Well, Sir, we was a-goin' right
along with the hoppers. They was pushin'
the train. AS far back as we could see
there was solid mass of 'hoppers, all
pushin' as if they were paid for it. In
ten minutes we was maxim thirty miles
an hour, and as our time card called for
only twenty miles we finished our run
on time without bit of fire in the box

FASTEST TRAIN IN THE WORLD.
Tho Pennsylvania EXpress-No Dust-NO
Cinders-Little Noise.

Tho Pennsylvania Express-No Dust-No
Cinders-Little Noise.
From the Nety York World.
Some over-confdent Englshmen
boasted few weeks ago that "The
Flying Dutchman' train, from London
to Liverpool, was the fastest in the
world. But they soon found out that
they were mistaken. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company sends train
out of New York at 9 O'Clock every
morning that beats the time of the
"Flying Dutchman." Considering the
distance covered, it is the fastest train
in the world. When the care-worn
business man journeys from New York
to Philadelphia, Chicago, or St. Louis,
he finds in the parlor cars of the Penn
sylvania Railroad luxurious home on
wheels As he is being whirled along
at the rate of sixty miles an hour or
better not jolt disturbs his serenity.
The rails rest on bed ballasted with
sohd rock, and the joints are made
with kind of. chair and fish-plate, of
the company's own make, that cause
the miles of track to be as unbroken as
one long jointless rail. There is no
dust, little noise, and not a cinder. A
few weeks ago there were put on anum-
Der of new parlor cars finished at the
company's shops at Altoona. Instead
of the ordinary fiat window, they are
fitted with five bay windows on each
side, each about seven feet wide. The
passenger can look up or down the
road for miles without leaving his seat.
and the new windows admit twice as
much light as the old ones did. The
cars are somewhat larger than the old
style, and are divided into main
saloon, ladies boudoir, smoking room
and retiring room.
Recently the entire running time be-
tween the Atlantic seaboard and the
great western cities has been reduced.
On the 9 o'clock morning train the
time to Chicago is twenty four hours
to Cincinnati, twenty-one hours and
to St. Louis, twenty-nine hours, with a
corresponding reduction to other points.
This speed is maintained without the
slightest danger to the traveller.
During the war of rates which began
last winter, the Pennsylvania Company
alone maintained its rates. Beginning
May 25th, though, it fixed the fare to
Chicago at SIS to St. Louis at SO;
and to Cincinnati at SI4, with cores
ponding reductions to other points.

shrouded in mystery, agitates the COM

such circumstances as to arouse suspicion
that foul work had been done. A Mrs

to her. The matter is in the hands of
