LOOKING FOR THE BIG VEIN.
The Artesian Well Approaching the
1900 Feet Mark.

the Arteslan Well Approaching the
1900 Feet Mark.
DR.. Stone, who has taken deep interest
in the artesian we'll on the Springfield plan
tation, is quite confident that in due time
the heavier vein will be tapped. The wells
at Charleston do not get the heavier flow
until depth of l 800 feet has been reac. ed
or approximating to that depth, and he
argues that the water may also be met with
here at depth corresponding to that at
Charleston, less the difference in dip be-
tween the two places.
The drill now encounters nodules of green
flint and porous lime formation. Tnese
nodules have not been met with in any of the
wells thus far. The lime formation is soft
and the drill makes good progress. but it is
slow work when it strikes the flint. which
is as hard as the steel itself.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
A Cotton Cargo Takes Fire-Th
Captains Happy Thought.

HAPPY \
PLYMOUTH. May 1.-THE steamer
Rugia, from New York, May I'd, for Ham.
burg, which arrived to-day, reported that
the cotton in her after.hold had epon-
taneouly igIited on the night of the Sth.
The fire was burning fiercely, but was
quenched after five anxious hours, during
which time, everything had been got in
readiness to abandon the steamer. Great
fright prevailed among the passengers,
who remained on deck for two days.
Through the efforts to quench the fire,
the cabins were flooded and two-thirds
of the passengers > baggage was spoiled;
Two of the crew were injured. 1t is feared
that the steamers cargo is greatly dam
aged.
After the fire had gained considerable
headway, some of those on board made
preparations to desert the ship, but
were prevented from doing SO
by the captain, who threatened them
with his revolver. When the
iron bulkhead doors were opened
the heat became so intense that many
persons were scorched, and the cotton
bales around the passengers baggage
took fire. Casks of lard, which formed a
part Of the vessels cargo, also furnished
fuel for the flames. Hope had
been well nigh abandoned and
the boats had been lowered to
leave the threatened steamer, when it
occurred to the captain to try steam in
stead of water against the fire. This
plan was put in operation, and
proved successful. Tie passengers
have presented the captain with al
address and the crew with various gifts
as evidences of their gratitude and es.
TEEN for their good work in the midst Of
the awful dangers which encompassed
them ell,

are, that Corwith's every move in epecu-
laiion was being "coppeIed" with his own
capital by his own son, Gurdon Cor
with, and that, before the crash came,
one million one hundred thousand dol
lars had been withdrawn from the old
mans Golfers, and sunk in operations in
which the younger Corwith had become
hopelessly involved. Young Corwith was
at the time a metal broker in New
York, and induced his father to be-
lieve that he had exclusive information
regarding the plans of the French copper
syndicate as to lead. The father was in
poor health, and allowed his son unusual
leeway. Until the actual collapse was
reached, Corwith believed he had an
enormous amount of lead on hand and
paid, when the fact was that the lead
purchased had been sold and
the proceeds utterly wiped out by young
Corwith's operations. Young Corwith
was placed In confinement for while,
but was after wards released, and his
father shouldered the loss, making what
ever settlement was possible.

Jail Literature.

A number of good people have agreed
to give some reading matter to the Jail
authorities, to form sort of free cir
culating library among the prisoners. A
set of book shelves has been provided by
the county and is now waiting for the
books. The boys are very curious to see
what kind of selection of volumes the
church people will make ior them. One
of the vags in the lower tank expressed
the hope that there would be good life
of John L. Sullivan. 1t was suggested
by the reporter that probably the litera-
ture provided would be of very differ
emit character. "Paley's Evidences" he
remarked, "would be somewhat nearer
The mark"
NO." said the vag, "we don't want
nothing on evidence. The lawyers look
out for all that"
"'Butler's Analogy Perhaps" con-
tinued the reporter.
"What do the blckes want to send US
medical books for?" eaid the hobo wag-
gipg his head.
The chances are that the occupants OF
the iron rooms will be very much dis
gusted at the taste displayed by the COM
mittee vino will select the books.

The Essen Strikers.

BERLIN, May 12.-About midnight, last
night, mob set fire to a factory at Lier-
enfield, which consumed Mulhelm and
Dulsberg. The miners at Scholwig
have joined in the strike. At Scholwig
a number of pitmen attacked their fore
man with daggers, and be had to flee for
his life. A body of infantry arrived here
at o'clock this morning, when the riot
ers took refuge behind a railroad en-
bankment, and fred at the troops. Three
times the rioters were called upon to dis
perse, but they refused to obey. The
soldiers then fired into the crowd, killing
six persons, one of them being four
year-old child. A woman was also
wounded. After the firing, the mob dis
persed. The district bristles with troops.
The miners held meeting at Essen,
which was attended by the Government
officials, who resolved to raise the wages
of the miners, but they firmly declined
to concede eight hours as days labor.

Paw Dirt In Dakota

ST.. PAUL. May IA speciat from
Deadwood, Dakota, says: A great excite
ment prevails here owing to the dis
covery of new and rich placer diggings
about forty miles from here. In pros
pecting these diggings, last year, on
small scale, the prospectors found gold
in quantities, and in renewing the work
this spring the secret got out, and men
are now rushing to the new gold fields
from all directions with outfits on their
backs, ard with teams, taking tents,
provisions and complete mining outfits.
All are en- the rush. Parties from the
diggipgs returning for provisions and
supplies show plenty of gold dust, and
they state that the diggings are extern
siye, and worth 60 to rs cents per pan.

REIGN OF TERROR.
A Collision Between the Races ia
the S0uth-The Negroes WOrsted'


New ORLEANS, La, May 12.-As re-
suit of the fight between some negroes
and whites last Tuesday. at Gretna, in
which two men were seriously injured,
trouble has been brewing, and it culmi-
mated last night in quite q row.
This morning at O'Clock a
fire broke out, in the engine
house of the colored fire company, and
the colored militia's arsenal adjoining
was burned also. A large crowd OF
whites and negroes gathered, and dele
CATION of the Gretna militia (white) went
to the scene. Several negroes re-
fused to leave the burning build
ing until they were in danger, alleging
that they were afraid to meet the armed
whites. When they finally came out, a
fight ensued, and some of the whites
fred, seriously wounding three negroes.
All this time the fire was spreading,
and several houses were de-
stroyed, the flames finally dying out
for want of fuel. During the conf1agra-
ton a large number of white men,
armed with shotguns, rifles and
pistols, congregated around the scene
and prevented any of the negroes
from coming within 100 yards. OF the lire
After the fire was over, armed SQUADS O
whites scattered around the town ant
entered number of negro cabins, os
tepsibly in search of arms.
A reign of terror prevails among thu
negroes, and colored women and children
have been leaving Gretna all day for thi
city, taking with them such effects a
they could carry.

Lively Competition Predicted.

The Redondo people are making ire
mendous efforts to start work on their
overla and road, the details OF which were
given in the HERALD last week. 1t is
claimed for them that when they get into
opera ton they will make revolution in
overland freight charges. 1t has been
often illustrated that freight can be
hauled to or from any metropolis for two
cents a ton mile, but these figures are
increased about 500 per cent. by the
companies running into this city.
The Southern Pacltlc always
keeps the exact amount OF its earnings a
secret from the public, but it is known
to the HERALD that during the year 1887
the line between San Pedro and this city
earned 81 ,OS2 600, and the succeeding
wears have doubtless been in proper
ton. When the Redondo road get into
operation, it is said that those at the
back of it will make an utter reform, and
will run at such figures that will entail
either reduction by the Southern Pacl'
fic and the Santa Fe, or a complete com
petitiya shut-out.

attend to them. Admiral Kimberly,
with Vice Consul Blackjack, afterwards
had a conferenc with Knappe about the
termination of the war, but nothing was
accomplished.
A war scare broke out among Mataafa's
men on the night of April 80. lney
were preparing for areview OF tneiI ioioes
in Apia, and it was expected tnae very
few men would be left in camp. A re-
port reached Apia that Iamasese III
fended take advantage of the absence OF
40 many Of Mataafa's men and attack the
camp. Accordingly $50 of Matasfa's war
riors took TO the bush about O mile from
Tamasese,s fort. They remained IN the
vicinity two DAYS, but finding no sign OF
hostilities returned to camp.
The Press correspondent interviewed
Tsmasese at his camp two weeks ago.
SIGNS Of poyerty and restitution were
Noticeable on every hand, and his men
we're suffering for want OF proper Shelter.
Tamasese said but little about the poll
t;caI eitration. but manifested great in
terast in the shipwrecked sailors and the
ranorte that more German men-of- war
were on their way here:
Tamasese's chief adviser, who went to
Washington several years ago and nego-
tiated a treaty with the United States,
was present at the interview. He said
he did not think there would be any
more fighting soon, and that Tamasese
was awaiting the result of the Berlin con-
ference and expected that the difficulty
would be settled in that way. He
declined to say anything in refer
ence to the attitude of the Ger
mans toward the Tamasese party
but it was evident that they were tired
of trusting to German assistance, and
would gladly lay down their arms and go
home. Along Tamasese's Notifications
several brass howitzers are still mounted,
and the natives in the camp are well
armed.

FLAX FOR WHEAT.
The Linen Plant the Better
Paying Product.
ADVICE TO AMERICAN FARMERS.
A Suggestion that Agriculturists
Had Better Raise Yarn Than
Breadstuffs.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WAsHIN GToN, May 12.-Last night,
Professor Wytletts, the Assistant Secre.
tary Of Agriculture, had under considera-
ton letter from Ireland, which he
thinks may offer e solution of the
economy problem: 'What shall take the
place of wheat on farms where it can no
longer be raised at proft?" The
writer, wLo is familiar with fax-growing
and linen manufacturing since 1910, Gays
in his interesting communication, that
there are only two weaving establish
ments, one at Webster, Mass, and the
other at Appleton, Wis. the latter doing
but little, and neither weaving anything
finer than crash. There is nothing to
hinder the soil from producing just rs
good fax and linen in every State in the
American Union, as in any country.
Germany now spins and weaves the
finest linen, and che has no essentially
different climate from America. Many
things have become successful in Amer.
lea from the facility with which the
people take up and adopt i'm
proved processes and appliances,
and this may be the salvation of the linen
industry, of the Importance of which
there is no question. There is every rea-
son why American farmers should pro-
duce million acres of fax, both seed
and fibre, over and above what is now
prod uced, which would give Il, 900, 0O0to
100000 bushels of seed, worth as
many million dollars, and $780, 900 tons
of flax straw, worth $4,000, 900, and
from which 100000 tons of flax fibre
would be obtained, worth $55, 900, 900.
Once established, American invention
would be called into operation in all
other industries to consume this raw ma
terial.
Professor Wytletts has informed the
sender that the subject of his letter
would be earnestly considered by Con-
gress, which would lend its aid to any
{ fort to increase or diversity the agricul-
tural industries of the country,

Plans of the New armo rtd Vessel.

The new vessel is to have o length of
256 feet, with breadth of SO feet and
1000 tons displacement. She will be
protected by belt of steel armor six
teen inches thick over the engines,
boilers and magazines, and eight inches
thick forward and aft. The specifications
call for 5,4O0 horse power. The Union
Iron Works guaranteed to develop this
power, while Cramp & Sons, the lowest
bidders, avoided the conditions.
There are many features of interest
about the new craft. The specifications
provided for two ordinary tubular ma
rine boilers of $500 horse power. The
remainder of the 5,400 horse power re-
CURED is to be supplied by coil boilers.
these have been tried with great success
on yachts and in modified form by the
French Government. But their use in
naval vessels will be largely experimental
Ii they come up to expectations, they
will result in large saving of space and
weight. The Union Iron Works agreed
