A SUBTERRANEAN MYSTERY.
Oil and Salt Water Well in West virgi
MIA with Peculiar Features.

Oil and Salt Water Well in West Virgil
mia with Peculiar Features.
PARKERsBURa, W. Va, May 24.--A
well on Pawpaw creek, in the West Vir-
ginia and Ohio oil belt, situated In Noble
county, is reported phenomenon. At
present there exists there subterranean
sea composed of salt water and oil, from
which gas bubbles with a tremendous
roar. While large numbers visit it,
people fear TO make thorough investi-
cation. Nineteen years ago the we'll
was drilled l 900 feet, and not proving a
success was abandoned. Some years
after water and gas escaped from the
hole with great pressure, tearing out
the tubing and cutting cavern appa-
rently hundreds of feet deep and forty
feet in diam eter. After some years IL
ceased to flow, and a farmer named
Martz filled it up, and built barn over
it, resting one pillar ON the filled ground.
A few days ago terrific report at the
barn announced the explosion of the
well, and oil and water poured out in
abundance. In a short time the pillar
under the barn began to sink, and was
soon out Of sight In the course of a
day the hole had become fathomless,
and again nearly forty feet wide. The
oil, when separated from the salt wa
ter is valuable. Much attention Is being
attracted to the phenomenon of the
Macksburg field.

LEVEES CUT
In Order to Protect Property
From InundatiOn.
The Work Carried Out at the
Point of the Pistol.

Wafer Company Will Now Have to
Stand the Damage-What Was Con
sidered One of the Strongest Levees in
Louisiana Gives Way to the Pressure
Endangering st. John Baptist Parish.
OTTUMwA, Ia, May 24.-Fifty armed
citizens cut the levee at this point Mon
day to save their property from the de-
struction which they judged would
otherwise follow from the continually
increasing food.
AS the cutting was calculated to in
jure the property of the water com
pany, it was necessary to carry out the
work at the point of the pistol. The
water compa1t's superintendent en-
deavored to check the men in their in
tent, but withdrew when revolver was
levelled at his head. A dixie was cut in
three places, allowing the water to es-
cape.
At Eddyville, fifty families have been
driven from their homes and the entire
town is in imminent danger.
Danger faces the people from the fact
that the Mississippi is rapidly backing
up into the Des Moines and no amount
of fall above can help Ottumwa until
the waters in the Mississippi recede.

eoundly until he was awakened at 2
O'Clock Monday morning.
Then for the first time since his arrest
the manacles ON his wrists were re-
moved, and, smoking cigar, he con-
versed with those around him.
He declared that he was resigned to
his fate and had no fears in regard TO
the future. To the governor of the
prison he said he had made his peace
with God. He persisted in denying that
he was guilty of the Rainhill murders.
A few moments before the time set
for the execution Deeming was allowed
a glass of brandy. which he swallowed
at gulp, and he was told that he
might have more if the prison doctor 20
ordered
The doomed man was then led to the
gallows and in a few moments all was
over. The drop was seven feet. The
execution was witnessed Try a large gath
erfng, including government and city
offit ials, magistrates, police and clergy
men. There was an immense crowd
outside the prison from an early hour in
the morning until long after the execu-
ton was over.
With the execution Of Deeming there
ended the life of one of the greatest
criminals the world has ever seen.
AT his trial 1t was shown that he had
killed several women and children and
buried them under the hearthstones in
the HOUSES where he lived. at Rainhill,
near Liverpool, and at Windsor near
Melbourne. Two of the women were
his wives. He was engaged to marry
third, for whose murder he had made
preparation when he was arrested.
That he was guilty of many other
crimes, including murder, is believed ny
every one. He was jail-bird, having
served sentences in England and Aus
traha for theft and other offenses.
There was also suspicion that Deem
ing was tho original Jack the Ripper.
When he was taken to Melbourne he
assumed jovid and careless air, but
ut his trial he showed in his manner the
terrible mental strain he was under
