a WONDERFUL WELL.

A Blazing Jet 200 Feet High.
The citizens Of Wells and vicinity
have been in state of wonderment
at the cause Of a light Southeast Of
the town for the last three nights.
Some said it was timber fires and
others haystacks Or prairie fires. To-
day the matter was settled by the
arrival of Chas Wagner and a man
named Murphy, who came in from
the valley below Jasper, on the
Star King road, 1t appears that
Wagner and Murphy had been
sinking an artesian well on the Star
King road, and at depth of about
800 feet they struck vein of either
oil or gas, which took fire, shooting
to height Of zoo feet above the
surface, burning up their machinery

they barely being able to escape
With their lives. As they describe
it now, the flame has gone down to
a height of abont 30 or 40 feet, and
is in the shape of a pineapple
They cant approach within a hun
dred feet of it, on account of the
heat. They had an Indian en-
ployed, who left, horror stricken,
for the mountains. The Indian ex-
pressed himself to Wagner and
Murphy that they had raised "hel!
and they are of the same opinion.

An AristOcratic GumbOil.

Commenting on a recent social event,
the Rochester Union very pertinently
observes: Rich Americans are inter-
ested at the collapse of the engagement
between a certain New York heiress
and Lord Cairns, formerly Garmoyle
(vulgarly Gumboil), an English swell.
The lady, Miss Grant, is young, rich
and beautiful. The lord has become
widely known through the famous
breach-o of-promise suit brought against
him by Miss Fortesque, All actress, to
whom he had to pay $4,000 in leu
of his affections. The fool, the black
guard and the peer seem to be mingled
in his lordship to the exclusion of other
qualities, but the New York girl found
herself willing to marry an earl, even
such a one as he, and very nearly did
50. What upset the match is said to
have been the peers demand that the
lady should pay all his debts. Shere-
fused, and now, as a metropolitan
journal expresses it: "Her friends are
much pleased at her escape from con-
nection that promised anything but
happiness, Notwithstanding the glitter
OF an earldom." The disinterested
reader will hardly think the lady's
happiness is q matter OF much mo-
ment. When the woman is ready to
buy or to sell. and the man to sell or
to buy, other people may justly be
amused if they haggle over the price.
These DIRE not the sort of lovers that
all the world loves.

New York Letter.
Burgess, who endeavored to poison
his wife, was detected and convicted
by q letter he had written to his para
mour and confederate in crime. Had
it not, indeed, been discovered he would
have escaped, but never before has a
criminal been convicted solely by a
letter. There was but one witness for
the prosecution the stand, and his
testimony was of little Importance,
the letter alone being sufficient to lead
the jury to a verdict which must con-

number OF years ago. He had poison

funeral a letter was found IN his over.

woman. This led to suspicion, and
the result led to his conviction and
execution. In the present instance
the man failed of his object, and hence
state prison sentence takes heplace
OF the gallows, though he richly deserv-
ed the latter. Going back i'll our own
record to the time when John G. Colt
was under death sentence, our sheriff
(the late Monmouth 3. Hart) received
An envelope containing $1,000 in cur.
reucy with the promise OF 81, 900 more
if he would let the day OF execution
pass without performing the sentence.
Hart handed the 81, 900 to the city
treasurer, and this is the only instance
of bribe money devoted to public use
in the city.
