AN ARrEslAN WELL BURSTS
And an Iowa Town in Danger of Be-
ing Flooded.
Volumes Of Water Forced Hundreds
of Feet Into the Air

CHICAGO, Aug. 3l.-A despatch received
at city hall this afternoon from the Mayor
of Belle Plain, Ia, states that an artesian
well four inches in diameter burst, when a
depth OF 1So feet had been reached in boring,
and instantly volume of water was forced
several hundred feet into the air This
gradually increased in size and volume until
a stream fully sixteen Inches in diameter
was formed, the upward force of which is
equal to the power of powder or dynamite.
The water in huge Volumes is spouting high
in the air and the supply seems inexhausta-
BILE. Two rivers have been formed by this
phenomenal water burst which are running
through the town at the rate of 12 miles an
hour. carrying everything before them.
Houses and lives are threatened. The citi-
zens are appalled, at their impending danger,
which at present they are powerless to over
come. Finding it impossible to divert the
damaging food an attempt was made to in
sert 16-inch boiler iron tubes into the well,
but these were instantly blown high into
the air. The terrified people then attempted
stone, but these were forced upward as
though propelled by the force Of giant
powder. Bags of sand hastily constructed
were cast into the well and were also hurled
into the water. The Chicago and North
western railroad sent large gang of men to
the rescue. The bridge gang of the county
was called upon, but up to this evening no
abatement in the flow of water is percepti-
BILE, and the rushing rivers were washing
channels deeper and wider, while the basin
formed was sprAading over tho laIrti in the
vicinity.
The mayor of Belle Plain finally telegraphed
to Chicago for the best engineers which
could be secured to come Immediately to the
spot and use their skill and energy in at
tempting to stop this perilous condition of
affairs. The matter was referred to the city
engineers, who have sent Engineer Morgan
to the scene, while other aid will be sent If

BLAINE IN ARoosTooK.
a Large and Enthusiastic Meeting
Held at HouIton.

HoULToN, Aug. Notwithstanding a
drenching rain storm that began today,
large crowd from the surrounding country
gathered here by noon to hear speeches from
Messrs. Blaine, Boutelle and Gibson. Ow-
ing to the rain the outdoor meeting was
abandoned and as many as possible crowd
ed into the opera house, but it was large
enough to accommodate only part OF the
assemblage.
Hon. A. A. Burleigh called the meeting to
order, and Hon. Eben Woodbury. presided.
Gen. Gibson was the first speaker, and was
followed by Mr.. Blaine, who said he would
confine himself to the issues of today with
out regard to the past. He then took up the
tariff, and enquired if it would be fair that
the people Of New Brunswick, part of the
British empire, paying no taxes here, should
have free access to the markets OF our coun-
try in competition with the producers who
pay taxes on this side of the line. And yet,
he said, that was what the Democrats prac-
tically voted at the last session of Congress.
Should that party succeed in this election, 1t
might possibly accomplish its end. The signs
of reviving prosperity throughout the lana
were due to the effect of the Democratic as
saults on the laws passed by the Republican
party. Should they once succeed, wages In
New England would fall to a level of those
in England. The Democrats could not hope
for success in any direct way, and they were
cunningly aiding a third party, hoping IN
that way to defeat the Republicans, when
they know they could not accomplish that
end by their own unaided efforts. Mr..
Blaine warned his hearers that good govern
ment could only be had by constant vigi-
lance, and that every man should do his duty
at the polls.
Congressman Boutelle gave short account
of the record of the Democratic party in the
last Congress, and showed how it had ac-
complished nothing except to increase the
number of government employees and public
expenditures, and yet had stood in the way
of fulfilling every demand made upon Con-
gress by the people. The meeting concluded
amid much cheering and enthusiasm.

AN AMBITIOUS SCHEME.
The Canadian Pacific and the ocean
Mail Service.

The other day the PRESS stated that it was
current talk in Montreal that the Allan
Line, provided it could secure the New At
lantic mail contract would purchase the
Alaska, City of Rome and other fast
steamers. 1t is now said the Canadian Paci-
fc intend competing for the service as soon
as the present contract expires. The COM
pany is understood to be thinking of build
ing on the Clyde eight magnificent steam
ships to run between Liverpool and Montreal,
vessels that will have every one of the
latest improvements equalto and, if possible,
in advance of such vessels as the Florida,
City of Rome and Alaska. There will be no
delays or transhipments at either Rimouski
or Quebec. The new boats will be built SO
fast that no time will be lost by the mails
and passengers remaining on board until
they reach Montreal. As for the cost, nc
expense is to be spared
