BURIED IN A WELL.
Choked to Death by Quicksand While
Making Repairs.

Making Repairs.
New YORK, May 19.-James H. Par
cells, night dispatcher in the New York
postoffice, was killed by the caving in of
a well ON his place at Woodside, L. l.,
Saturday. Mr.. PARCELS was repairing
the well, when it partially caved in,
burying him nearly to the neck. The
quicksand continued to run down and
the efforts of the neighbors to extricate
the unfortunate man only increased his
danger. A rubber tube was procured
and placed in PARCELS mouth so that he
could breathe after the sand had covered
his head. After several hours labor the
sand was cleared away again, but it was
found that Mr.. Parcell's had been unable
to retain the tube in his mouth and had
been choked to death. He was one of
the leading citizens of Woodside. He
leaves wife and six children in COM
Portable circumstances.

REGULATING PRICES BY LAW.
Pittsburgh StOckman.

Pittsburgh StOckman.
In the general anxiety to get onto
some plan by which farming may be
made to bring better returns, it is not
strange that legislative absurdities
should once in while be recommended.
For instance a Western contemporary
urges that farmers congress be author
lied by national law to fix prices on all
products of the farm-prices by which the
seller must be guided. To do such a thing
would be fatty impossible, for several
reasons which will occur to one who
will give the subject five minutes
thought. The law of supply and de-
mand is the natural and legitimate ar
bitter of these things.
