The Trouble ID Now Remedied and the
Drill Is Working in Solid Earth-Austin
Feels 30 Good Over IL that He Treats
the Crowd and then the Gold b Ex-
amined.
Now the trains are blamed for the
trouble at the Fifteenth street gas
well.
When a reporter for the Eagle called
at the gas well yesterday he found Mr..
Jackson. the city engineer there and
several other visitors including ex-
Street Commissioner Oliver.
There was general atmosphere of
confidence about the place and all those
interested in the well looked happy.
The steam was putting out o, the en-
CINE, the big wheel was turning rapid
ly and everybody seemed 10 be watch
ing knot in the rope at he Top OF the
tower. This knot, the reporter learned
was at the extreme top at dinner time
but now it was down about three or
four feet. This signified that the drill
had bored that distance in about TWO
hours or so The drill was not in sand
either. II seemed TO have a firm grip
on solid earth at the bottom OF the old
river bed. Well go on all right now"
said Mr.. Jackson I'VE have struck
bottom. and / don't think there Is any
thing 10 disturb u.s."
AT this point Mr.. Austin invited the
crowd into the engine house and pulled
down fine box CT cigars from the top
of the boiler frame I'VE are getting
along fine today" said Mr.. Austin as
he distributed matches among his
guests ''Will strike it rich yet" he
continued. He then went on 10 ex-
plain the trouble experienced with the
underfiow and quick sands. He said
that a great deal Of the trouble was
caused by the trains OF the Missouri
Pacific road. The railway runs within
twenty feet Of the hole and at present
there Is heavy freight traffic over It.
A train OF twenty stock cars will shake
the earth for 200 feet. When the drill
went down first and struck the quick
sands great deal OF the sand was TAX
en- out and caused what Mr.. Austin
in the technical language OF drilling
calls big belly. When a train ran
over the ground near by, il shook the
loose sand about this cavity and filed
UP the hole about the casing, which,
with an underfiow current, threw the
casing out of plum. This was the trou-
BILE Mr.. Austin thinks and he discovered
1t in time to remedy 1t without going
to the expense of sheet irJn tubing
From now on very little, II any, trou-
BILE is expected and the next sensational
feature anticipated is that the people
will wake up some fine night and see
pillar Of fire above the hole caused
by burning gas.
A great many people have gone to
the well to investigate the claim that
gold was found in the sand drawn from
the old river bed They all verified
the story. Mr.. Thomas Bone called
there yesterday with a magnify.nG
glass to see how numerous the gold
specks were City Engineer jackson
took a shovel full of the sand out on
the commons where he was surrounded
by a curious crowd. When the sun
came out from behind a cloud Mr. Bone
focused the glass on the sand and
found great deal better sp-inkliny CT
gold than he expected. TheEagle man
also saw the gold but the ratio between
il and the sand was too great to make
the yellow metal interesting.

Tucker Gets $4,000 for Washington s.
Lee University.

Tucker has secured 1850 damages
for the injury done to Washington
College, now Washington & Lee Uni
versity, during the war by the Federal
force under the command of the noto-
rious Gen. David Hunter. Aspecial to
the Richmond Dispatch dated Wash
ington City, March End. says
"Mr. Tucker called up in the House
this afternoon the bill for the relief OF
Washington College (now Washington
and Lee University of Virginia.
Mr.. Powers, of Vermont, Republi
can, made an earnest speech in favor
of the bill. He said that he thought
it was the patriotic duty of every man
in the House to vote for the bill. 1t
was the duty of the government to pay
the damages resulting from the occu-
pancy of the buildings and grounds by
Gen. Hunters soldiers.
Mr.. Reed, of Maine, opposed the bill.
He said the principle at stake was not
one of sentiment or patriotism. Peo-
pie who went to war should take the
consequences. He hoped the bill
would be voted down.
i Gen. Dan. Sickles, of New York.
favored. Il III q strong, two minute
speech, the bill. He thought it was q
just claim.
Mr.. Dockery. of Missouri, stoutly re
sisted the bill. He said it panied him
to have to take this stand; for he knew
the institution was one of high re
nown. He also disliked to oppose Mr.
Tucker. for whom he had high re-
gard. Mr.. Dockery said he realized
the bill would pass. but in his opinion
it should be voted down.
Mr. Hit, prominent Illinois Repub-
lican, supported the bill in brief, but
earnest remarks He hoped that the
great institution would get the relief
asked for. The college was a nursery
of statesmen, he declared.
TUCKER'S STATEMENT.
Mr.. Tucker made clear and forcible
statement of the case, and really work
ed up strong sentiment in favor OF
the proposition.
One of the Republican members
thought he had struck a great thing
when he savagely inquired if this same
institution of learning did not arm a
battalion to go into the rebel army
during the war.
A dozen members shouted from the
other side of the hall that he was
wrongs st was another institution.
Mr.. Tucker put the bill through with
rush Not even a roll call was de-
manded. and the opposition faded
away until only two Repu bHcans had
the nerve to stand up against it. One
OF these was Mr.. Reed, OF Maine
The amount which the university
will get is little over ST, 800.
Mr.. Daniel managed the DILL when it
passed the Senate, and he was greatly
assisted by Senator Hoar, who like
wise, in the Fifty first Congress. did all
in his power for William and Mary
College.
1t is taken for granted the President
will approve the Washington and Lee
reliet measure"

Trial Of Adam Glass for Shooting James
Pannall

In Nelson county, near the Augusta
line, on the 9TH of December, 1894,
Halle Glass, aged 10 years, daughter
of Adam Glass, gave birth to child
James Pannell, brother-in law and
cousin of Adam Glass, had been living
with him for two years. Pannell left
short time before the birth of the
child. The girl told her father that
her uncle Jas. Pannell was the father
Of her child, whereupon Adam Glass
determined to seek .Pannell for the
purpose of avenging the wrong he had
perpetrated ON his family. Believing
that Pannell had gone to Basic City,
Glass went there, and upon meeting
with Pannell near Koiners saloon 10
that place, December 9Th, he lmme
diately opened fire upon him, shooting
him in the right arm and under the
right shoulder blade. In short while
thereafter Pannell disappeared and his
whereabouts are still unknown. On
last Friday Adam Glass was arraigned
for trial on the charge OF felon1ous
shooting. He was prosecuted by Com
onwealth's Attorney Meade F. White.
and was defended by w. E. Craig and
Robt F. Leedy, of Basic City.
A number of witnesses were ex-
amined. the principal ones being the
wronged girl and her father, the &C
cused. The argument occurred on
Saturday afternoon. 1t was opened
by Commonwealth Attorney, Meade
F. White, who was followed in the de
Tense by able speeches by Leedy and
Craig, and was concluded by White.
after which the case was submitted to
the jury, who rendered verdict of ac-
quittal, and Glass returned to his home
on Monday a relieved and happy man.

The Cause Of Currency Famine.

Wenote the following in New York
paper =
Bond dealers and those seeking
loans on municipal bonds complain Of
a disposition by the banks here to re.
fuse loans on such collateral, and at
tribute it to q scare because of the
Quigley forgeries. This is not quite
correct.
What is complained of by the banks
here is that interior banks prefer to
send their surplus money on to New
York banks and draw the 2 per cent.
On balances rather than keep the cash
at home and discount the paper of
their local business men. This paper
is coming to New York banks for dis
count, and in the plethora of funds
the interest charged is not sufficient for
the risk, and often the paper is rejected
outright, the city bankers thinking
that the provincial banks can best
cover their own field.n
Here, says the Charlottesville Chron.
icle. we have one of the chief reasons
for the plethora of money in the city
banks and its scarcity in the country
districts. And just here is where re-
form is necessary, and not SO much in
the smallness of the volume of money
in the country. According to all past
the currency of the country
is amply sufficient to transact its bust
ness, if it was fairly distributed. There
can be little doubt that much of this
which goes to the New York
banks from the country banks, there
to draw two per cent. interest, is the
money of our own people deposited in
our home banks.
How to keep these funds at home for
the use OF our own people, is the
problem before our statesmen. One
thing is certain, and that is that mil
lions of silver coined every day will not
solve it or help anybody much except
those who have silver to coin, as long
as these centralizing conditions coz
tinue.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 9
Fifty-Third Congress.

The Fifty-third Congress expired by
limitation at noon Monday, and many
will rejoice at its demise till they have
some experience with it's successor
when they will find that they have ex-
changed King Log for King Stork, and
that their latter day is worse than their
first. 1t is easy to find fault, and
future hopes are apt to be delusive.-
We would rather have the 53rd Cen
gress with all it's faults than the 54th.
for it has done much good, and we do
not expect the 54th to do that. But
for the 53rd Congress. we would yet
have the Mckinley tariff with. its un

Warm the East.

Now that the last act of the military
drama in the East, with the taking OF
Pekin as the chief incident, is about to
begin. increased attention, says the
Baltimore San, is being given to the
character of the closing scene in which
Japan. will undertake to reward itself
suitably for it's self imposed labors in
Corea and China. japan, of course
proposes to be the sole beneficiary OF
the war. as she has been the hero and
has paid all the bills. She proposes.
it is said, to appropriate Corea and
Port Arthur and to create an indepen-
dent buffer State out of that portion
of Manchuria adjacent to Corea The
Island of Formosa is the object, it is
said, of an expedition now being fitted
out, and this implies that Formosa
also is to be incorporated with Japan.
Besides these spoils, an ample money
indemnity will be exacted sufficient to
pay the expenses of this war and leave
handsome surplus for the next one.
But other nations have large COM
: mercial and territorial interests in the
East which would be gravely com
promised by this ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
Japan. Russia has long had designs
upon Corea and this power has already,
it is understood, declared that Corea
shall remain independent-till Russia
lis in position to acquire 1t for herself.
England is concerned to keep China
intact. The Chinese trade is chiefly in
her hands and she will look with dis
favor upon a settlement that lessons
her present freedom of intercourse
with any Chinese port. Lord Rose
berry sought to induce the other powers
to unite with him to prevent the ex-
tension of the war to China and even
to bring it to an end in Corea, but
without success, Germany having re-
fused to take part in joint interven-
ton in the interest of peace. The
nearness of India to China and the fact
that Burmah-now annexed to India
touches the Celestial land at one
point gives England decided terrific
rial as we'll as commercial stake in its
future. France is also a neighbor and
is concerned in the character of the
treaty with which the war is ended.
Germany, which has no territory. but
has a growing commerce in the East.
may be suspected of q purpose to keep
free hand in order to fish in troubled
waters" and profit in her trade with
Japan from the hostility to other Euro
peans that will be excited in that coup-
try by interference to rob the Japs of
the fruits of their aggression. Other
wise Germany is Indifferent and will
probably side with Russia as against
England should these two powers dis
agree. But it is very likely that these
two powers have already agreed npoD

with emotion. He declared that there
was no labor OF his life that he review

said from the bench that the meetings
at that place had done more even than

congratulating him upon his fifrieth
anniversary Of the pastorate of the
Second Presbyterian Church.
Tonight DIR. Hoge delivered in his
church an historic sermon, in which he
reviewed his career as a minister of
the gospel. 1t was an exceedingly in
teresting discourse, made up as it was
of some OF the notable incidents in the
life of the celebrated divine. A fea-

arranged for the occasion. The church

live by attacks upon Congressman
Then there is the class of persons who
always condemn expenditures of public
money, unless made in these days as in
the time of mule and schooner mail
routes and an almost exclusively agri-
cultural population.
But this Congress has had the burden
of protracted hard times upon its
shoulders, as no other Congress ever
had. 1t has had. in the nature OF
things. more difficult task to perform
than most of its predecessors. The
number of persons in real misfortune

has done is likely to give it the emf

the adverse verdict that is being SO
generously given.
In few days we shall have lists O.
the laws enacted, of the amounts OF
money appropriated, of the new obi

well how effective the revenue raising

that time, too, frivolous charges of
Congressional corruption will have
been abandoned, and the sober second

the 53rd Congress was much like its
