A WELL A MILE DEEP.

Director ]. w. Powell of the United
States geological survey grows en-
thusiastic over that deep we'll that is
being bored near Wheeling, w. Va,
and which is now nearly mile deep.
He wrote that the action of the local
development company in dedicating
the well to science and the govern
ment will entitle its stockholders to
the ''gratitude and high esteem Of
the biologists and physicists of the
world" The advantages to science
that will accrue from the sinking of
the shaft as far down as possible he
describes as follows
If the we'll is carried down until it
reaches the corniferous limestone it
will add a very important measure
ment to geology, and will aid in
guiding future operations in boring
for future economic purposes not
only in your own vicinity, but in
Ohio and Kentucky. 1t will also
afford an opportunity practically
unique for the determination of the
laws of temperature change beneath
the surface Of the earth. The ideal
locality is one where a deep well
penetrates undisturbed horizontal
strata and does not tap veins of
water. These are the peculiar char
acteristics of your well, and the COM
bination has never been realized be-

He Wants to Plead Guilty to a Charge
Of Simple Assault.
Charles Hennessey, the sailor who ran
amucl in L street several weeks ago
when pursued by a mob of negroes. ap-
peared in Superior Judge Catlin's court
yesterday and offered to plead guilty TO a
charge of simple assault, in preference to
standing trial on the charge of assault
with deadly weapon.
District Attorney Ryan asked that the
case be continued until to-day, in order
that he might consider the proposition.
Hennessey and companion were sit
ting on the steps of colored woman's
bagnio one night, when the occu-
pant suddenly appeared and threw
a pitcher OF water over them. While
HennesSey was demonstrating with the
woman, crowd of negroes collected, and
one of the number. man named Lee,
struck him. Hennessey, evidently be-
annihilate him. took to his heels but
upon being pursued by Lee he took out
his pOcket-knife and made q vicious
lunge at his pursuer. Lee was slightly
cut on the breast Hennessey then re-
sumed his fight, and this time the whole
crowd pursued him. He ran into the
notorious Rosebud saloon for protection,

Upon going out on the sidewalk again,
where the crowd was waiting for him. he
was suddenly seized by Special Police
Officer IEldred. Hennessey says he
thought that the officer was one of his
enemies at first. At all events he tried to
use his knife on the officer.

Mckune. He could not see anything
funny about it. This might all be a
matter OF mirth for the court and the at
torneys," he said. sarcastically, ''but L
think it is a very serious matter.''
Judge Catlin then poured oil on the
troubled waters by bidding Mr.. McKune
proceed and argue the case. The latter
did so rather testify. He declared that
instead OF being the woman, it was Wag-
ner who had been acting in bad faith all
through the case. He had refused to live
with her for the past ten years, and had
only contested her suits for divorce be-
cause he suspected she intended marry
ing Wohlfrom, and he intended to
squeeze money out of them. He wanted
them to buy him off. Now that she had
married Wohlfrom, Wagner was all the
more diligent in his pursuit of them for
money.
When Judge McKune had concluded,
Attorney Johnson wanted to reply, but
Judge Catlin waved him to his seat

Had a Collision.

An M-street electric car coIlided with
one of Burns sprinkling carts last night
at Eighth and j streets. The sprinkler
was crossing the tracks at the time and
was going at a good gait. The motor
man evidently thought the cart would be
off the track before he reached it. But
just as the rear wheels of the cart were on
the track the horses stopped or slackened
their pace, and as result the car crashed
into the heavy vehicle The entire rear
sprlnkling apparatus was torn off the
cart and the front dashboard of the car
was wrecked. Nobody was hurt
