CLEVELAND, O., July 23d. 1888.
EDS PREss:-Probably ten thousand
people visited the Newburgh gas well
on Sunday. AS it is within thirty rods
of my land, I have watched it pretty
closely. Gas was struck and the tools
blown out of the we'll on Saturday
night. July l4th. Salt water was struck
at depth of about 1720 feet, and gas
at depth of nearly 1900 Since the
g As was struck the well has thrown
up water, cut into fine spray, to the
highth OF 40 to so feet. Much gas comes
with the water-more gas and less
water now than at first. The gas has
the odor of Pennsylvania gas. 1t is
claimed it comes from the sand rock
below the shale. This well is now
called the Iceland we'll. 1t is near
the Iceland farm, and about half a
mile east of the Insane Asylum.
This we'll was located through the
agency of spirit medium by alleged
spirits. When il was nearly full of
water, and the operators were nearly
discouraged. the alleged spiritual in
formation came, telling them that a
gusher would be struck if they went
tea feet deeper, and predicting a day
in advance the time when it would be
reached.
The divining rod has been used and
in the hands of trustworthy men of
character it "dips for gas" in this
valley. These men say there is very
large belt of gas running across the
Iceland farm /; also, across my land.

E. r. Roe Dead.

Rev. e. P. Roe. the prolific and pop
ulsr author died suddenly at his home
at Cornwall on. the Hudson, at ten
O'Clock last Thursday evening. He
ate dinner with his family in the eve
ming. and was bright and cheerful.
After this he and his family and some
visiting friends repaired to the library
where he read aloud some selections
from Hawthorne. After reading about
an hour he suddenly ceased and laid
down the book with the remark
THAT pain, again-I shall have to
stop reading" He left the room with
q smile on his face. After reaching
his bedroom, most intense paroxysms
of pain occurred at short intervals for
upwards of an hour, when he died,
surrounded by all his family. Neural
gia of the heart was the cause of his
death.

Life and Property Swept Away by
AN Appalling Flood.


On Thursday evening a storm in the
nature Of a cloudburst swept over a
strip of territory in the southern paIt
of this State, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia, unprecedented in destructive
force. AT Wheeling, between fifteen
and twenty lives were lost, and prop
erty estimated at over a quarter of q
million engulfed in ruin. Wheeling
Creek, running through the heart of
the city, was swollen in a few minutes
to a raging torrent, the water rising
l5 feet in less than an hour, flooding
the sewers and transforming the gut.
ters into rivers. Railroads in all di,
rections were damaged, in scme in
stances the bed being completely OBJ
liberated. At Triadelphia,a a few miles
from Wheeling, the storm iaged in its
greatest force. Half the village of 800
inhabitants was swept away, in some
instances not vestige remaining to
denote the site of building. The
people escaped to the hills, thereby
escaping the torrent of water. The
whole south of the town has disap
peared as completely as if it never ex
listed. Captain William Mccoy, OF
Triadelphia, says the rain came so
suddenly that as he went into house
to bring woman to a place of safety,
the water was but two inches deep on
the road, but when he came out a min
ute after, it was up to his armpits, and
falling in such sheets that it almost
drowned him on his feet.
Two cemeteries were washed out,
and the bodies with collins floated
down the river.
In the vicinity of Bellaire the dam
age is also great. The BellaIre & st.
Clairsville Railroad, miles in length,
was buried clear out of sight, and the
rolling stock was all sunk in soft mud
and water. Details of the loss of life,
in the sudden emergency which shut
off all escape, are narrowing, the full
number of victims being ascertained
only as the receding waters shall dis
close their fearful work of death.
