right hand last Wednesday, by copper.
head snake, which was hidden under
one of the vines. Mrs. Schneider at
once realized what had happened to her,
and with rare presence of mine, tightly
bound kerchief about her wrist, com.

injured finger becoming circulated
through her system. A messenger was
hastily sent to town for DR.. Dawley, and

Superintendent F. @. Smith, of the
Water works, is working every minute
to obtain asuficient water supply. The
company have now four drilled flowing
wells and four dug wells, all supplying
a large quantity of water, but the work
will continue until water famine will
be an impossibility. The company has
adopted new plan for utilizing the
water from the drilled wells by sinking
we'll some six or eight feet in diameter
and thirty feet in depth around the pipe
OF one of the drilled wells, then walling
with brick, after which couple of Sec
tions of pipe were removed and the
water allowed to flow in at the bottom
of the well, making large reservoir of
the purest>and clearest water that can
be obtained anywhere. This plan will,
no doubt, be carried out with the other
three flowing wells. The first dug well
is being enlarged to twenty feet in diam.
eter, made deeper and walled with
stone.

farm, at Sugar Grove, Fairfield county
by the Fairfield Gas and Oil company
At depth of 450 feet, considerable gas
with slight showing of oil, was struck
in the Berea Grit. The Niagara Lime
stone was reached at 1900 feet, ant
when 40 feet in the stratum, a vein O
oil was developed; but it was not O
sufficient size to pay, producing onl.
four or five barrels day from the bail
er. At Midnight Friday, the drille
struck through the hard cap whicl
covers the Clinton rock, at 2,150 feet
and rush of gas responded SO suddenl.
that there was barely time to extinguisl
the lights before the derrick was envel

until day light when it was resumed
and the flow of gas steadily increases
until noon, at which time it became g
great as to force the massive tools out O
the well, and work had to be finally dis
continued, at a depth of about 5 feet il
