ARTESIAN WELLS.
Georgia State Lunatic Asylum to be
Supplied With Pure Water

Georgia State Lunatic Asylum to be
Supplied With Pure Water
MILLEDGEvILLE, June 9.-In an institution
where patients and employees together num-
ber near 1000 souls, a sufficiency of pure and
wholesome water becomes a serious matter.
To meet this urgent need, the trustees have
decided to bore an artesian we'll at the asy-
lum. About Feb. 25 last the contractors
commenced well, which, up to this writ
ing, they have carried to a depth Of $50
feet. The we'll for the first 200 feet is 12
inches in diameter. At that depth they re-
duced the bore TO inches. Their definite
contract is to bore to 500 feet, unless they
get water to overflow short of that; and if
they reach that depth without an overflow,
but with a supply of water that by pump
ing will supply the wants Of the institution,
they will stop and powerful steam pump be
applied; otherwise they will proceed on their
way toward China until, as one of them
facetiously remarked, HE gets water or
tea" AT S5 feet they struck water over
lying bed of granite, at the same depth Of
a large dug well near by. After going
about 400 feet they struck vein of water
that rose to 20 feet higher than the water
in the above mentioned dug well, only some
20 or 30 feet distant, and when they got 100
feet deeper they struck another vein that
raised it 10 feet higher. so that now while
it is S5 feet to the water in the dug well
only some 30 feet off, the water in the arte-
sian well is within only IS feet Of the surface.
All Of that $50 feet, except the first IS, is
through different strata Of granite, flint and
now and then quartz. The different strata
of granite passed through has varied in
hardness ald color from light grey to
almost as black as gneiss, some strata show
ing traces of iron and others Of garnet in
the pulverizod rock brought up The ma
chinery--id antical with that used In boring
for Oils immense, the drill and staff alone
weighing 2,700 pounds, to say nothing of
the weight OF that 800 feet Of 216 inchrope
or hawser that lifts and drops IL; and the
incessant measured beat, day and night, Of
the heavy thud that fairly makes the earth
tremble around, reminds one of the heavy
heart throb of some dying mammoth mon
ster. Hundreds of visitors from all parts of
the country come TO see it. As this point
Is lower than many others In the up country
around here, being only about 900 feet
above sea Lowell, the contractors feel a conf
dent hope that they will eventually get a
we'll 10 overflow, and If they do. one Of, If
not the greatest want Of the asylum viii be
filed. =. SHARP.

The Enormous Work Done by the
Western Union at st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, June 10.-The enormous
amount of work done on a national conven-
ton, and the immense telegraphic facilities
1t ltrequireS to distribute the proceedings of
these national bodies to the press and to
the people of the country may be judged,
when it is stated that the Western Union
telegraph company alone handled and trans
mltted over Its wires news growing directly
out Of the democratic national convention
here last week to the aggregate amount of
Sl5l, ,79l words.
HOW THEY WERE DIVIDED.
This consisted of regular press reports,
special dispatches to the leading journals of
the country, and of bulletins which were
flashed over the wires to every city and
town, and to most every village and hamlet

news the associated press fur
