Let Wen ALONE.

An odd story comes from Indiana In
boring for natural gas the drillers. at .
depth of $50 feet. are said to have struck
an immense vein of water, which was
cased of. At depth of 900 feet ire
mendous flow Of gas was developed, the
pressure of which lifted the casing and
let in the water above. producing veri-
table geyser. After some days the well
had been nearly controlled. when work
man at the mouth of the well struck a
match to light his pipe An explosion
followed, and the workman narrowly es-
capped being roasted alive. All efforts to
restrain the well or even put out the fire
have since proved futile, and the strange
spectacle is witnessed of resistless vol
ume of fire and water issuing from the
same pipe. The column is described as
shooting with an appalling roar to a
height of 100 feet.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

An Innocent Man Twelve Years In Prison.
The governor has granted pardon to
A. P. Gipson, who was sent from Shast a
county in May. 1878, to San Quentin
prison to serve = life sentence. The
crime Of which he was convicted was
the murder Of stockman named Schroe-
der, who bore an unsrviable reputation
In the community.
Convicted with Gipson for completely
In the same crime were men named Hill
brant and Tom Gipson. The latter was
pardoned by Governor Perkins in 1882.
and Hilbrant by Governor SLOVENIAN in
1885. Both those governors received pc
titions on behalf Of A. P. Gipson, but
never paid any attention to them Hill
brant made an affidavit that he swore
falsely whsn he stated that A. P. GIBSON
was implicated in the crime. Tom Clip
son also swore afterward that A. p. had
nothing to do with the murder.
The man whom Governor Waterman
pardoned was evidently the victim Of a
deep conspiracy. The petition for his
pardon was one of the strongest ever
presented to the chief executive. Over
500 citizens Of Shasta county, including
Judge Aaron Bell, of the superior court,
who passed sentence, and other county
officials. signed it. Judge Bell wrote il
connection that he believed Gipson was
an innocent man. The pardoned man

SICK OF MORMoNIsM.
A Band of PennsylvanianS Return Hen11
 Hungry and Penniloas.

CHAAnERsBuRG, Pa, Nov. 1.-The Nor mon propaganda in the rural districts of Pennsylvania seems to be afailure. Last spring and winter half 8 dozen Mormon missionaries made their appearance in various parts of Franklin, Fulton and Adams Counties, and assiduously but secretly pursued the work of proselyting. They chose the most secluded localities, and at length succeeded in making % or 30 converts. Shortly after embracing the new religion these converts sold their farms and set out for the promised land of Utah.
 A few days ago fifteen of them, com prising Stephen McPherren and seven of his friends, with seven children, reached Waynesboro, down in the lower end of this county, penniless, hungry and ragged, having returned from Salt Lake on third class tickets with short rations. They had been gone just a year, but in that time their ruin had been complete Their homes in Utah, they say, were in a narrow valley between precipitous noun tains, over whose tops the sun shone only four hours out of 24. Although the land was productive, the cost of living was so high that they exhausted all their savings and they had become thoroughly sich of the venture. Accord ingly they returned home.

National Banks and Paper Money.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1?.-It is not true, as has been reported, that Secretary Win dom's annual report will recommend that the national banks shall be permitted to issue Treasury notes to the full value of the bonds deposited by them as security for circulation. The effect of this policy would be to add about $15, ,000,00 to the circulating medium of the country. Secretary Windom's regards this proposi- tion, which was originally brought for ward by Senator Sherman, with great favor. He does not believe, however, that the prevailing spirit of opposition to the national banks would enable a measure of this character to become a law. The silver men, he has been told, would oppose it, as we'll as the representatives of the granger interests. Although he will make no recommendations looking to this end, he has reason to believe that the matter will be agitated at the coming session of Congress, and he agrees with other intelligent students of finance that it ought to pass.

THE FINANCIAL. OUTLOOK.
A More Hopeful View Entertained b
 Wall Street Capitalists.


 Wall Street Capitalists.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-What will to-day bring forth? was asked by many in Wall street, and the conundrum could not be answered. The Earrings trouble, the Will lard uncertainty. the North American pinch, the North River Bank collapse and the astounding revelations concerning the operations of the, brokerage house of Mills, Robeson & Smith were all causes which disturbed the financial solons. The outlook for this week was unanimously pronounced doubtful, but everybody en- tertained hopes for the best.
 "This storm will clear the financial atmosphere" said one well-known gen. tleman. 'It is too bad to see so many poor fellows swept away in the disastrous flood; but the country at large will be the better for it. A speculative fever can only be cured by heroic treatment, which always leaves the patient weak, but he ought to be thankful that his life has been saved"
 The market was very feverish at the opening and became dull about noon. The general opinion prevails that at least @ Hull in the financial storm may be ex- pected, although liquidation is not yet completed. The banks have been obliged by force of circumstances to be lenient with their customers, but the latter will now be asked to settle up their indebted ness as soon as the course of the market permits of their compliance with the request.
 The keenest interest is manifested in the Willard properties, and the misan. thropes are looking for another terrific crash and wondering when it will come A good many million of dollars are in vested in the stocks and bonds of these concerns, and just now every certificate has an anxious holder behind it. The pressure by the investors to get some definite information concerning the con dition of the North American Com pany has been practically futile, anG the uncertainty adds to the gossip which contributes to the uneasy feeling
