Dropped In a Well.

ESGLEwooD, Kas., Dec News
comes from an old disused well in No
Mans Land of cattleman named Hard
ing by the driver of the stage-coach
which every ten days runs from Engle-
wood to Beaver City, No Mans Land,
and back. Harding had fearful ex
perience and is insane from the effects
of it.
While out rounding up stock he was
lost to his companions. This was ten
days ago, and he must therefore have
spent nine days in the well. How he
got there is unknown, but probably the
sudden stopping of his horse threw him
down the hole, which is nearly forty feet
deep. Beside him when found the half
devoured carcass of wolf, with a bullet
through his head showing that Harding
must have shot him. Occasionally
Harding had CLEANS of intelligence, and
from what can be gathered it seems he
was five or six days without food.
Wolves probably discovered his presence
there and the one On which he had lived
most likely was crowded over the edge
of the well by the rest of the pack. The
rescuer was attracted to the spot by the
wild howlings of the insane man.

Japan's Earthquakes.

Advices from Japan say that at the
place where the recent japanese earth
quake was most severe there appeared
several years ago holes in the ground to
which no bottom could be found, and
that it was believed that they commu-
nicated with immense cavities far below
1t is nov believed the earthquake was
caused by the Fujiya mountains slipping
into this cavern. In one district an i'm
mense landslide took place, dammlng
the Mano River, and lake is now be-
ing formed, which is already fly feet
deep. Another large lake is being
formed in the same way by the Ashiba
River ut Nagoya. The earthquake was
still in progress November O. Seven
hundred and thirty shocks were felt in
20 consecutive hours. This is more
than two minute.
An anonymous writer sent a letter to
the cabinet two months ago, announcing
that national calamity would take
place Oct. 2S. This was the very day of
the earthquake. The letter * preserved
in the Government archives.

An Iron and Nail Company suspend.

PITTsBURG, Pa, December Ga teie-
gfam from Bellefonte received here yes
terday says that the Bellefonte Iron and
Nail company QimitedD has suspended,
with liabilities aggregating 1902, 600.
Ex-Governor James 4. Beaver, the Pres
ident, has assumed all its Indebtedness
and will place the plant in the hands of
a trustee for the benefit of its creditors.
1t has been known for some time that the
company has been losing money, but no
one had any idea ii was incumbered to
such an extent. The announcement of
the suspension was therefore not much
of a surprise, though it was at first feared
that the heavy Indebtedness of the works
would probably drag down some of the
stockholders. This gave rise to the re-
ports of the embarrassment of ex-Gov-
ernor Beaver.
1t is thought that the plant will re-
sumo, as an extension of three years has
been granted. This mill is the one in
which the National heat and power COM
pany is experimenting with its gas ma
chimes. 1t is not thought that ex-Gov-
ernor Beaver will be at all affected by
the suspension, as his large private
means will cover all possible deficiency.

AFTER q very close contest the Demo-

night nominated Charles F. Crisp, of
Georgia. to be Speaker of the House on
the thirtieth ballot. the vote standing
Crisp 119; Mills 1O5. Springer 1; Stevens
l. Mr. Kerr, of this State was nOmin-
sted for Clerk Of the House by acclama-
ton. Judge Crisp was born January
%, 1915. in Sheffield, England. while
his parents were there on visit. He
was brought TO this country the year of
his birth, his parents going to Georgia
He served as a lieutenantin the Confed-
crate army during the war; was taken
prisoner in 1864 and confined in Fort
Delaware. After practicing law in Ella
vile, Ga, for several years he was APP
pointed Solicitor General of the south
western judicial district in 1872 and re-
appointed in 1873 for four years. He

the same circuit from 1877 to 1882,
when he was elected to Congress from
the Third Georgian district He was re-
elected to the Fiftieth, Fifty-first and
Fifty-second Congress without opposi-

acteristics are his good nature, cool
headedness and extreme affability, for
which he is noted.

Prison OG fire.

CoLUMBCs, O., Dec. S.-The city pris-
on here is ON fire, and 1t Is feared it will
be total loss. Early this morning the
police began to remove the prisoners to
the county Jail. The entire fire depart
ment has been called out. The loss to
the building is estimated To be very
small. There was tremendous excite
ment among the prisoners and much
difficulty in getting them transferred to
place of safety. The female prison
ers were turned loose, but the men were
locked up in their cells and all yelled to
be taken out
a large crowd which gathered outside
the prison began to get uneasy lest the
prisoners should be roasted to death,
and their appeals and excited actions
added to the confusion and impeded the
efforts of the police and firemen. Final
ly the police succeeded in quieting the
crowd and all the prisoners were rescued
without accident

MUCH is being and has been said
says the Harrisburg Patriot, for and
against the punishment of lawbreakers
by fiogging as practiced in Delaware.
1t is true this method of punishment is
relic of the days of disgusting barbar-
ity when the most severe punishments
were inflicted for trivial crimes and when
the torture was held to be the legitimate
accessory of the court In those days
men We're sometimes deliberately flogged
to death and at other times died under
the punishment which was not intended
to have such a termination.
In Delaware the punishment is neith-
er intended nor pretended to be so Sc
we're, although none of these who under
go the punishment love it for its gentle
ness. Twenty is about the average
number of lashes given to criminals who
are thought to deserve vigorous punish
ment, and it is probably enough. Long
before the twenty lashes are placed
where twenty stripes will do the most
good the very much interested recipient
of tho laws attentions is well convinced
of the mistake he made in committing
the crime of which he was convicted, or
at least of the foolhardiness of breaking
Delaware law, and can easily be induced
to never do it again.
As to the moral aspects of the case,
much can be said on both sides of the
question. One thing is certain, how
ever, 1t is the most effective and the
cheapest way to reach class of offend
ers many of whom can see no hardship
IN being shut up in prison and fed by
the community. That to them is not
punishment, and they are likely to be
confined repeatedly for the same offense
Flogging is so great punishment that
few that have suffered it come back for
more. If it does not cure the criminal it
at least drives him cut of the state There
Is no brutality connected with this
method of reformance; there is nothing
to shock spectators and little to move
them except the whimpers of the fiogged
ones, while the sight inspires them with
wholesome respect for the law 1t
seems to work well in Delaware.

THE Philadelphia TiH.esin speaking OF
the election of Charles F. Crisp, of Geor-
gia as Speaker of the House by the Dem
ocratic caucus says: McMillin, the most
promising of the field candidates, with
drew on the twenty-ninth ballot, and
Springer fell in with the procession and
gave Crisp the victory.
The contest between Crisp and Mills
has been one of unusual earnestneSs and
some bitterness, but Mills exhibited the
highest degree of manliness by steadily
refusing to combine with any of the field
candidates, on the open assumption that,
if he could not succeed, Crisp was en-
titled to the nomination. There Is,
therefore, every indication of harmony
between the Crisp and the Mills follow
ers in the House, and Crisp's brief but
emphatic utterance on tariff reform III
acknowledging the honor conferred upon
him must silence all bubbles as to the
attitude of the Democratic majority OF
the House on that issue.
While there will be no halt IN the
work of tariff reform because of the sue
cess of Mr.. Crisp, will be generally, and we
believe gratefully, accepted by the coun-
try as triumph of the more conservative
element of the Democracy. The one
unerring index of the wisdom of Crisp s
election to the Speakership is in the
fact that the Republican leaders were
practically unanimous in the desire for
the success of Mills, and hoped to gain
great political advantage from it. This
does not prove Mills unfitness, but it
was unmistakable as 10 the expediency
of his selection
Mr.. Crisp is generally regarded by the
considerate men of both parties in the
House as the best all around equipped
man for the Speakership, and above all
the safest man for his party. 1t was
this consideration that resolved doubts
in his favor and gave him the victory.
He is too big and too broad a man not
to be generously just in the recognition
of Mills and his friends, and there is lit
tie likelihood of factional lines surviving
the long and desperate struggle for the
chair. 1t is safe to assume, also, that
the Democrats will have little fear of
Reed disconcerting the Speaker and de
moralizing the majority at will.
Mills will be accepted leader on the
floor and he is likely to grow in the best
qualities of leadership, as he has done to
a surprising extent during the last few
years; and it is more than probable that
so far from antagonizing the conserva-
tive policy that Crisp's election proclaims
he will be in hearty accord with it. His
campaign speeches in Ohio and else
where last fall, were models of enlight-
ened and conservative craftsmanship.
1t is possible that the Democrats might
have done as we'll by the election of some
other man than Crisp to the Speakership;
but it is clear that they could not have
done better, and might have done much
worse.

WITH the 1st of January, says the
New York World, the Democratic party
in New York will have control of the
Executive and both branches of the Leg
islature for the first time since 1888.
The termination of the Board of Can
vasSers in the Dutchess Senatorial dis
trict that Mr.. Osborne is elected and the
undoubted ineligibility of Mr. Sherwood,
given the Senate to the Democrats, and
the Assembly is secure.
The fact is one of extraordinary i'm
portance. 1t gives the state again into
the control of majority of its citizens
1t gives the Democrats great oppor-
tunity and imposes upon them grave
responsibility
1t gives them opportunity to right
many fragrant wrongs, to obey the Con-
stitution, provided for a Remuneration
of the legislative representation accord
ing to population, so that the million
and quarter of citizens now unrepre-
sented shall have their fair share in leg
islation.
1t gives them opportunity to order the
Convention which the epeople have called
for by majority of more than 500, 900.
1t gives them opportunity to re-arrange
the Congressional districts fairly upon
the basis Of population as shown by the
Federal census, as both law and justice
require.
1t gives to the Democrats the oppor-
tunity to do all these acts of vital public
necessity; it imposes upon them full re-
sponsibility for the just and equitable
discharge of that duty.
For the rest, the situation means free
dom to enact needed laws, to appeal
laws that work injustice and to correct
defects in existing statutes.
1t means continued economy in gov
eminent and low taxes for the people.
II means home rule for cities.
It means ncmocrstic legislation and
Democ@tic government fora Democratic
state. Justice, long delayed, is secured
at last.
