MONEY ORDER CLERK GONE.
Weii-Fargo Employe and Several Thousand Dollars Missing.


 CINCINNATI, Oct. 19.-William R. rehard, money clerk in the Wells Fargo office, has skipped, and indica- hons point to an embezzlement that will probably reach S10,000. Orchard was trusted official, and was trans ierred to this point three years ago from Toledo. For some months he has been losing heavily on the races and at poker, besides spending money in fast circles. Saturday an error of $50 was discovered in his books. He paid the amount, saying it might have been an oversight. Superintendent EarPs sus- plelons were aroused, however, and that night he inspected the books. The accounts since Oct. 12 showed a shortage of nearly $500. Orchard failed to show up at the office Monday morn ing and further investigation of his books developed almost daily discrep- ances. Superintendent Earl said that the shortage was very serious and would run up into the thousands. Orchard was very attentive to his office work, notwithstanding the gay life he led. It is thought that he left for Chi cago or St. Louis, as be told his land- lady he was going west. His wife is living with her parents at Crawfords- vile, Ind. Orchard is B years old, slender and has very heavy black mustache. He was bonded by guar antee company. X warrant for embez- clement was sworn out by Superin- tendent Earl.

Chris Eyer and his men arrived and commenced their work at once. They intended to explode dynamite down in the bottom of the hole already made by the Wylies. They had filled 8 piece of f-2-inch gas pipe two feet long with the explosive and were engaged in capping it when in some way 1t exploded. The two Flyers and Gornwell were so badly man. gled that they could not be identified one from u 6 other Their shoes, hats and other clothing were torn from their bodies in shreds so that pieces of them were gathered up in baskets.

An Ice Geyxcr.

There may now be seen at Big Stone
Gap formation of ice, both beautiful and
wonderful.
The Water Company keeps fountain
PLAYING near the river, at East Fifth street
bridge, to prevent stagnation of the wa
ter in the pipes. The stream thrown up
Inv thc fountain is about an inch in diam
etcr and rises to the height of from fifty
to one hundred feet, and falls in spray
around the fountain. Little by little this
spray has frozen where it fell until it has
formed huge mass Of ice, in the shape OF
cone, thirty-seven feet high and sixty
five feet in diameter at the base, through
the top of which jets perpetual stream
of water, rising to twice the height Of the
cone. TO one standing on the ground the
or;fce through which the water spurts APP
ncars to he ONLY few inches in diameter,
but in reality it is as large as man s
bodv. During the very cold weather we
have been having 1t has increased in clc-
Walton three or four feet day. 1t is ca
timoted that the mass contains Al 81
cubic feet, which, if the ice were solid,
would supply 1871 families for four
months. In other words. it would supply
town Of G,S55 people during the whole
of the summer season
But, unfortunately it is not solid. 1t is
so porous that walking-stick can he
easily run into it up to the handle and,
strange to say, that part of it which has
been formed during the coolest weather
seems the most porous. This is probably
due to the fact that when it is very cold
much of the wafer fails in the form of hail
and all that falls in the form of water is
concealed tho moment it touches tho ice.
The result of this is that points are
formed. and, there being no water to ill
nm or freeze in the intersticcs, the whole
is rendered porous and more or less fraS-
;,n It as white as snow, and looks
quite like and fully as tall as Liberty
Cap" the extinct geyser near the NAM
moth Hotel, in the Yellowstone. Taken
in conn SETON with the trees on fine river
bank, from which hang huge iciclcs-
some of them twenty feet lonS-also
formed by the freezing of the spray from
the fountain, it is beautiful sight, and
we'll worth a trip of some miles to see.
