Projectors to Establishing a Salt Works.
The rumor was current upon the
streets this morning that the work Of
drilling for gas had been resumed at
the old gas works in the Schwalm ad-
dition, in the eastern part Of the city.
A NEWS DEMOCRAT reporter investi-
gated and found that it is
proposed to establish a salt

BILE. Jacob Miller and j. A. Linville
have the project in charge and they
have had the water analysed and the
test resulted highly satisfactory.
The we'll is down $500 feet and the
present drilling is to remove stones
from the well, which meddlesome
boys put there. After the
removal of the stones parties who are
on the grounds will pump for several
weeks to see if the water will hold out
and Justify them in getting the machin-
cry for a salt works. Messrs. Miller
and Linville have little doubt that the
pumping will result satisfactory.

] Sent to the Industrial School.
(lShe fourteen-year-ol old daughter of
Mrs. Little, keeper of the house of ill
Name, had a hearing in the probate
Ncourt today. Laura was found guilty of
drunkenness and residing in a bawdy
|house, for which the Judge sentenced
her to the Girls Industrial School at
Delaware, o., to remain until she is re-
formed or becomes of age. The girl is
bright and intelligent, and her manner
lis far from that Of the hardened crimi-
nal. Although she displayed no emo
ton when the verdict was made known
to her, it was evident that hers is not a
hopeless case, and she may yet be taught
70 lead a virtuous life.

EDITORIAL sQUIBS.

WE print elsewhere an important
dispatch from Findlay that will tend
to console us with the thought that
Canton is not over a seething lake of
fire and birthstone, like Findlay. Read
this dispatch and before you invest in
any more town lots in Findlay just
think of where those town lots will go
to, when hell breaks loose, underneath.
THE Pittsburg Dispatch is giving us
some glowing accounts of Democratic
foppers in Pennsylvania from Cleve-
land to Harrison, nearly all of which
are unreliable. The dispatch from New
Castle announcing a lot of tloppers there
turns out incorrect in every case, and
the Democrats who were reported as
Topped are looking for the correspond
emit with a club.
THE Columbus Times Democratic
has been changed to the Press Qnde-
pendent.) This was solely on the
ground that the Democrats did not
support it. The Democrats ought to
brace up and give their newspapers a
better support.
THE Plttsburg Dispatch a few days
ago announced that a whole family at
Allegheny, Thomas Murray and his six
sons, had all Topped to Harrison on ac-
count of the "pizen" Mills bill. And
now Thomas Murray writes a card in
which he says:
1t is sufficient to say that we are all
solid for Cleveland, Thurman and re.
form, and if living in November, will
practice what we preach. Hoping you
will give the above space in your valu-
abb, paper, l remain yours.

The deafening report of an exploding

their doors. A boy named Joe Loefel,

crying in distress. Young Loefel had
found a torpedo on the railroad and
laying it on one of the rails, pounded it
with a stone. The explosion tore his
hand frightfully, the blood flying in
every direction, and his hand may yet
have to be amputated.
