The Artesian Well.

The CITY of Memphis, Tenn. formerly
noted for il. bad sanitary condition, has
been improved in an extraordinary degree,
partially by an improved system of sewerage,
but chiefly by supply OF pure water. The
city water was formerly drawn from wells
and cisterns and later from Wolf river, but
In both cases the surface water which
yielded the supply was very poor quality
and contained many impurities, making it
unit ior use and constant cause for
disease. Recourse was at last had to artesian
wells. and it was found that at depth of
about $50 feet there was a stratum of water
bearing gravel, the water being OF excep-
tional purity and abundant in quantity. 1t
is believed that any future increase in re-
quirements can be met by increasing the
number of wells.

London Brokerage House in Trouble
Through Delinquent Operator.
;BY CABLE TO TIE p1sPATcH.I
LONDON, Dec. 13.-The sensation this
week in financial circles has been in connec-
tion with the large outside operator in
American railroad securities who failed to
pay differences amounting to some ESQ, 900
due to-day. Three or four brokerage
houses with whom he had speculative &C.
counts, would have been obliged TO suspend,
but at the lasG moment payment of 10
shillings on the pound is said to have been
made and arrangements entered into for pay
ing the balance at a future date. 1t is gen.
orally believed this settlement was effected
on the condition that the account should be
liqudated, and the stock market was weak
to-day owing to forced sales on this account.
Notwithstanding the reported settlement,
one brokerage house was so involved in this
matter as to he obliged TO suspend payment

A PASTOR ExoNERATED.
THE GOOD NAME OF A FORMER PENN

Rev. Euclid B. Rogers Exonerated by His
Iowa Flock of Sc r;ous Charges Pre-
fcrred by His Former Charge at Frank
lin, PA Conspiracy Alleged.

BURLINGTON, Dec. 13.-The good people
of Burlington are severely worked up over
a scandal in connection with the Rev.
Euclid b. Rogers, pastor of the First Bap-
tist Church here. About year ago Mr..
Rogers accepted a temporary call here, COM
ing from Franklin, Pa, where he was pastor
of the First Baptist Church. Although
married, he did not bring his wife with him.
He had not been here long before rumors
began to circulate that he had left Franklin
under cloud. Rogers stated to the church
officers that he had left his wife on account
of her unwifely conduct, and out of no fault
OF his.
This statement was telegraphed to Eastern
people and came to the ears of the Franklin
Baptist congregation, who Immediately held
meeting and adopted resolutions. They
charged Rogers with having made an en-
gagenient to marry pretty typewriter girl
of his congregation while yet living with his
LAWFUL wife. Then by cruelty he drove his
vile to secure divorce. Itwas also charged
that while receiving a large salary, besides
considerable sums in donations from church
members, he left town owing many debts.
These resolutions, with numerous sworn
statements, letters, etc.. from various dea-
the church people here.
A committee was appointed to investigate
the matter thoroughly. This committee has
now reported to church meeting at great
length, citing the charges and bringing
counter answers, which in their mind justl-
fed complete exoneration of Mr.. Rogers.
The meeting lasted more than two hours, and
when the case was extensively presented
and the final vote taken, Mr.. Rogers was
fully and entirely exoneratcd, every person
present. without single exception, so
voting
They found that there existed a gigantic
conspiracy, of which a wealthy individual
in Fsanklin, Pa, is the head and front, and
who has undertaken to besmirch the char.
acter of good man and destroy his inf1u-
ence in the church. '1t was public boast
of this blatant rich man." says the report,
''that he would spend $4,000 to ruin the
good name of Mr.. Rogers and drive him
from the church, simply because he has be-
come interested in the woman from whom
Mr.. Rogers was divorced, who was the
guilty party, and for whose sake Rogers had
suffered humiliation rather than expose
her."
Rev. Mr.. Rogers was overwhelmed with
congratulations by the members of his con-
gregation. He has been rendered and ac-
cepted a permanent charge of church
here.

NEW YoRKs DUMPING GROUND.

A Spot in New Jersey Which is One of the
Worlds Worst Quarters.
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
There is no need of going to Oklahoma or
the mining regions to find rough neighbor-
hood. All one has to do is to travel on the
horse cars as far as they will carry one up in
the northern portion of Hudson county, New
Jersey. Then let him or her take walk
straight out i'll any direction. If it be a
man who is so venturesome as to stroll upon
this Hounslow Heath, he will be robbed.
The races attract thither mob of the
hardest characters that ever struck an out
lying fringe of great city. Some OF the
residents are Socialists and Anarchists, aud
there are many Poles, Italians and Hungar-
ians, with whom regard for human lie is
very slight. From the bluffs overlooking
the Hudson to the hills there is about as bad
an average lot as can be found in the worst
streets in New York. The newspapers get
hold OF not more than one-quarter OF the
crimes committed there.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Daniel E. Fayer-
weather, the wealthy leather man ufacturer
who died last month, did not Intend to give
to Justus L. Bulkley, Thomas G. Rich and
Henry B. Vaughan, his executors, 81, 900, 900
each. or any other sum for their personal use
Notwithstanding the fact that in one of the
codicils of his will he gives to them and their
heirs forever whatever may be left of his es-
tate after his other bequests are complied
with. He meant it for a conditional gift,
but the conditions are not named in the
will, because Mr.. Fayerweather feared that
his executors might encounter the same
trouble that arose over the will of Samuel
j. Tilden. Like Mr.. Tilden he wished his
estate TO be used chiefly for educa-
tional purposes. 1t is almost certain
that he exacted a promise from his execu-
tors that they would hold the same in trust,
nevertheless to sell and convert into cash
and to divide the sum equally as provided
In the body of the will.
In the will Mr.. Fayerweather makes
specific bequests. amounting to s., 24S, 100,
including the $500, 900, that it will be
necessary to invest to secure the annuity to
his wife and sister. 1t is not possible to
say what the residue ofthe estate amounts to,
Tut it is not likely that it is $400, 900.
Neither of the three executors would con-
sent to be interviewed to-day, but General
Stewart L. Wood ford, the law partner of
Mr.. Ritch, and his counsel in the contest
that is to be made over the will, answered
some questions put to him by n reporter.
To the question, "What is the value of
Mr.. FaYerweather's estate, and does Mr..
Ritch think the value of his share Of the
estate is 81, 100000 or anything like it" he
said: i do not know accurately, but judge
the estate to be worth from 81, 900, 900 to
S5,000,000. An inventory will be required
to determine exactly" 1t is certain, what
ever the courts hold that the educa-
tional institutions which benefit by the
will, will not get their money for
long time, if they get it at all. In case
the will is sustained, and in case also
the executors divide the residuary
estate among the colleges, Co.
lumbia will get $4,000 Cornell,
$500, 900; Yale, s75O,OOO; Hampton Uni
versitv. $3.50, 900; Maryville College. $780,
600; University of Rochester, $3.50 900, and
Amherst, Wesleyan, Williams. Dartmouth
and Bowdoin Colleges $3.50, 900 each.

from any tubercular disease. Women, the
physicians say, exhibit the most nerve in
the operations. To physicians in Mt. Sinai
Hospital there was an unusually interesting
case, that ofa consumrtive. The tempera-
ture OF the patient rose an hour after inocu-
lation 5.S to 1888. Alter the pltlent had
had sound sleep the temperature sank to
the normal.
All the cases in the hospital have shown
decided reaction. The sputum of consump-
tive patients is increased; is lighter in color
than before the operations, and is raised
more easily by the patient. This, it is be-
lievcd, shows that the congestion in the
lungs is slightly relieved. Among the
crses of lunus in the Mt Sinai Hospital
one patient who had an incubation of
three milligrams showed to-day a decided
reaction in an hour. The little girl who
woke up and laughed alter the most intense
febrile reaction vet noted is regarded as the
best test case in the hospital. She is not
nervous. Whether the lymph sends her
temperature up or not, she sings just the
same. The doctors are watching her case

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.

OTTAWA, ONT, Dec 13.-Word reached
the city to-day of a desperate encounter on
Monday last between four lumbermeu, who
belong to this city, and pack OF ravenous
wolves in the woods near Gordon
creek, on the kippewa river.
John and James Barrett, Peter
Murphy and john McManus are working
In shanty near Bois Crane depot. All
four had to quit work on Monday evening,
anc started to return to their camp. The
Barrett brothers. who were ahead, verged Il
little from the brush road in order to
examine trap, which they had set in the
woods to catch marten. Their two compan-
ions went on ahead, but had not proceeded
more than ten minutes when they heard loud
shouting, mingled with the barking of
wolves
They hurried back along the path and
soon they discovered the cause of the terri
bic uproar. A short distance off the road,
boys were standing, their backs
against the tree, desperately defending
themselves with their axes against
a pack of 10 of the ravenous ami
nails. Murphy aad Burns ran to their
rescue, and not a minute too soon, for one
large animal had torn the trousers off James
Barrett and inflicted wound on his leg
with his sharp teeth.
The four men then laid about them and
were appalled, to see that the pack was
growing larger, being reinforced by num-
ber of equally desperate animals. After ten
minutes of this fighting for their lives, seven
of the wolves had been killed, which had an
effect upon their companions, for they turned
tail ami fed. All the men were bleeding
where they had been bitten. and when they
met Foreman Charles O'Neil and his men a
short time aiterward, their blanched faces
showed plainly the ordeal they had under
gone. No doubt remained in the camp that
il the Barretts had been left to fight it out
alone. they would have lost their lives.

VOICE OF THE DEAD.
The Poet Browning Speaks 10 His
Friends Once Again
IN TIE WELL REMEMBERED TONES
On the Occasion of the First Anniversary of
Ills Death.
THE TRIUMPH OF THE PHONOGRAPH
fBr pUNLAp,s CABLE coMPANY,.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-Yesterday was the
first anniversary of the death of Robert
Browning, "the writer OF plays" as he once
dubbed himself. To-day the anniversary
was celebrated by several friends, and back
from the portals of the distant and dim land
of shaded came the loved and weiI-remem-
bered voice, preserved by the magician OF
Menlo Park. 1t was on the 9th of April
last year that Miss Ferguson, at the studio
of Rudolph Lehman, succeeded in persuade
ing Browning to speak in phonograph. 1t
was at the Edison house, Northumberland
avenue, that the experiment was made to-
day.
The Well-Known Voice Again.
The poets voice was heard in the tones
that were so characteristic of him and which
were so well known aud so we'll remembered
by everyone who was present. The lines he
spoke into the instrument were portion of
his own poem, Glow they brought the
good man from Gheut to AK" The in
strument that not being human never lies
and never exaggeratey or changes when it
repeats what has Sbeen told to it, proved
that Browning spoke the first two lines:
jumped in the saddle and Joris and he,
galloped, Dick galloped, we galloped all three,
straight off, but when he came to the third
line there was stumble and presently
came the words 81 forget" He tried to
remember the line which every school boy
throughout the English-speaking world can
repeat without the slightest hesitation, but
he broke down again.
Then the instrument repeated the apology
he made for forgetting his own poems, and
the eulogy he delivered on Edison and what
he termed his wonderful invention"
A Thunder of applause.
Then there was a pause while the cylinder
continued 70 revoIve, and presently came
out loud Robert Browning" as if the
poet had with his own voice signed his name
to the effort. This was followed by cries of
"Bravo" and loud shouts of "Hip. hip,
hurrahl'' and the noise of the clapping of
hands with which Mr.. Lehman's guests had
at the time greeted the end of the interest
ing experiment. The cylinder was made to
repeat the voice OF the dead poet three times,
the phonograph being manipulated by Miss
Ferguson, as she did when it received the
impressions produced by the vibrations of
Robert Browning's voice.
Then it was carefully taken off and put
away, to remain in it's box until December
II neJt year. After the guests had heard
the voice of the dead they talked for some
time of him. and more than once came the
thought that when everybody was making
preparations for the observance of Christ
mas, the anniversary of the death of the
poet, who had preached the broadest
Christianity and optimism, would always
be fitting prelude to the greater festival.
