There was great excitement at the
time and n call was made for a doctor.
Patrol wagon No. "a was drawn up on
the opposite side OF the street with Po-
lice Surgeon Williams In 1t to attend to
emergencies. The surgeon dashed
across the street bag In hand and went
to the sid OF the governor. The gov
board and the urgeon applied restora-
tivos. while eX-President Harrison Ind
the governors private secretary, Ash
ley w. Cole, cbafed the hands of the uu-
conscious man and famed his face.
The governor had been standing i'm the
hot sun for more than an hour and had
only occasionally used an umbrella for
a couple of minutes when there was a
break in the lines. The sun beat down
ON that part OF the street with great in
tensity.
Mr.. Harrison was considerably ex-
cited as he hustled around the governor,
and Mayor Strong, apparently forget
ting What he was doing, stepped into
the governors former place and re-
viewed the marching school boys. |
A messenger was sent for a carriage
to convey Governor Morton to a hotel.
Governor Morton regained conscious
ness shortly afterwards and he was
hastily conveyed to the Fifth avenue.
accompanied by ex-President Harrison
and the governors private secretary.
Mayor Strong then viewed the parade.

Washington, May 2S.-Although Sec
rotary Gresham's Illness was known to

CHAM BERlAIN'S BIG WELL.
All Attempts to Control the Great
Gusher Given Up.


Gusher Given Up.
Chamberlain, S. ID. May 30.-The now
famous Chamberlain artesian well,
which has from time to time been the
subject OF dispatches from this city,
and which has attracted the attention
of people living in all portions OF the
United States, by reason Of its immense
flow of water, is practically ruined
From the beginning water has escaped
on the outside of the s inch pipe, n at
one time threatened to engulf the roller
mill. which stands ear by. The well
mas been a elephant on the hands OF
its owner from the first. While con-
structing a tunnel from the well to the
Missouri river TO carry away the sur
plus water, the tunnel caved I'm, killing
n man, and another escaped only by a
miracle. Efforts have been made at
various times to stop the leaks on the
outside of the pipe, but without success.
A few weeks ago an artesian well con-
tractor was engaged to clear the pipe
of rocks and other distractions which
a lodged In il. While engaged in do
ing this the discovery was made that
the pipe had parted. 1t is a distance OF
fifty feet down to chalkrock from the
surface of the ground, then comes a
layer of halkroc 100 feet in thickness.
Immediately under the chalkrock is
where the pipe is parted, leaving a gap
of about forty feet between the upper
and lower sections of the disjointed
casing. The lower section of the pipe,
IL was found. Is standing In an upright
position. The weakness OF the derrick
erected for the purpose of supporting
the tools used In clearing the well pre-
vented an attempt being made to raise
the fallen pipe.
The well Is certainly in bad condition,
although no immediate danger or dam
age to surrounding property is antici-
pated. If the water Is allowed to flow
freely no particular leakage results,
but If the pressure is increased suff-
GENTLY to furnish power for running
the mill or electric light plant the
water spurts from the ground at varl-
Gus points in the immediate vicinity Of
the well, and washing away Of the
earth at once commences. The flow OF
water from the well aggregates tho
enormous total of 4,762 gallons per min
ute, which will give an idea OF what a
difficult task 1t would be to effectually
control 1t. Efforts looking to this end
have been abandoned and the we'll,
~conquerer in the long struggle for It's
subsection, will hereafter be permitted
to flow without molestation or inter-
ruption. In accordance with the deci-
sion to abandon further attempts to
control the well, the roller mill has been
closed down.

DEBS GOES TO JAIL.
The Supreme Court Decides Against the
a. H.. a.. Leaders.

A. H.. a.. Leaders.
Washington. May 2S.-The supreme
court Monday denied the application OF
Eugene V. Debs, the strike leader, for a
writ OF habcas corpus. This Is a victory
for the government. No more impor-
tant question. with the exception of the
income tax, has been before the court
for the past year than the attempt OF
Debs and other officers OF the A. II. u.
to secure a reversal OF the sentences to
Jail for interfering with interstate COM
merce and the running of mails in the
great railway strike of last summe
The decision was read by Justice
Brewer and was unanimous, there being
no dissenting opinion. All the conten-
ions of the government were sustained.
The conclusions of the court are that II
was given Jurisdiction owe every foot
Of soil and over every individual within
the boundaries of the United States, and
that while 1t was one of limited powers
1t had sovereignty within these limita-
lions. 1t had the power TO invoke the
civil courts to emovc distractions TO
Interstate commerce, and the civil
courts had the right to enjoin those who
made obstruction to sue commerce.
The injunction was not a bar to GRIM
inal processes for acts done i'm violation
OF the injunction. and the circuit court
having final jurisdiction, Its act was not
renewable by the supreme court on the
petition for a writ of habeas corpus, and
therefore the writ was denied.
1t Is not probable, in view of the
decision OF the supreme court, that Eu-
gene ". Debs and the other officers OF
the A. II. u, now under indictments for
violations OF the antitrust and the mail
obstruction acts, will be called upon to
stand trial. Under the decision Debs
will serve his sentence of six months In
jail, and II is thought hat the govern
ment will consider this a sufficiently Sc
we're punishment without prosecuting
the criminal cases against him or his as
sociates. The principle involved having
been established. by not pushing the
further proceedings II will be shown
that the government doe not entertain
any r~evengeful or vindictive feelings
against Mr.. Debs, the A. r. Y. or any
other reputable labor organization.

AthleIica n Feature.

New York, May 3O.-Despite the
widespread protest which was raised
last year In opposition To the growing
custom of athletic and sporting associ-
tions to select Decoration day for races
and other competitions there will be a
larger number of such events today
than ever before. At Boston and many
seaboard towns there will be yacht
races, bicycle road races will take
place in nearly every large city in the
country, general outdoor athletic tour
naments have been arranged by many
of the wealthy athletic associations,
and several prize fights are booked for
this evening i'm various parts Of the
country. There is a growing feeling on
the part of those who wish TO observe
the day seriously, and i'm the spirit Of
respect for the dead which was not
contemplated in the establishment Of
the holiday against what is character
lied by many as the prevalent and year
ly growing tendency to desecrate the
occasion by fndulging i'm frivolous fes-
tivities which amount practically al
most to an insult to the dead.

A 10 PER CENT ADVANCE.
Wages OF Carnegic's Employees Go Up
FIRST Time Since 1892.

Phttsburg, Pa, June 1.-The advance
Of 10 per cent in the wages of the Carne-
gle employees, which was announced a
fortnight ago, goes into effect today.
TWENTY-FIVE thousand men are affected
bv the raise, this being the first turn
In the tide of depression which was In
auguratcd by the sweeping reductions
of 1892, which p~r"cipitated the riots and
bl0odshed at Homestead. The employees
benefited by the change are distributed
as follows: Homestead Steel works,
1000 men: Edgar Thompson Blast Il
mace and Steel plant, 5000 men; h two
Union mills in this city, 5000 men; the
Lucy furnaces. 1000 men; Duquesne
Steel works. $500 men, and the Beaver
Nail works, 1900 men. 1t is claimed by
some that even with the advance the
wages Of the Carnegie men are lower
those prevailing elsewhere, al
1T is admitted that the improved
machinery used in the Carnegie works
greatly increases the output per man
hence increases the remuneration
of those paid by the ton or piece.

ELECTIONS WILL BE QUIET.
United States Man OF War VIII Hold
peruyians Level.


New York, June IA dispatch just
received from Lima, Peru, states that
owing to the presence of he United
States man OF war Monterey, which
has been lying off the coast for sevcra
days, tomorrow's elections will pass of
quietly. The election is to choose q
constitutional government in place OF
the provisional government recently
selected through the Intervention of the
papal nuncio after the success of the
revolutionists. Indications already
point to a return of stable government
with n revival of American financial,
interests. The citizens of Lima are OF
the opinion that if the Monterey n
been in Peru during the revolution
when the insurgents captured the city
plundercd dwellings and left h dead
unburied in the streets for w days
its presence would have averted these
scenes of slaughter and the attendant
paralysis of commercial interests. The
arrival of the Monterey was greeted
with wild enthusiasm.

WORSHIP WITHOUT CLOTHES

IN ma Sburcn mat dresses Like the
First Parents Before the Fall.
Omaha, May 30.-Rev. John Morrow
Of Pittsburg, Pa, has established here
a sort Of church, or gospel class, which
worships in a state of nudity.
This discovery was made a few days
ago by Rev. Charles w. Savidge. pas-
tor OF the Peoples church of this city.
and he has written a letter to the
World Herald about 1t.
1t seems nat Morrow Is a preacher of
Pittsburg who visits this city quite
frequently. During one Of these visits
some months ago he established this
church. 1t Is his claim that the bible
places, especially in st. John. where 1t
says Christ IA off his garment when
ait worship.
The class which he has established
here Is a small one yet. but Is composed
of men: women and children. He
teaches that those who are really, saved
are not sensible to lust or passion at
worship and they simply obey the
bible.
The exposure will create a big sensa
ton here and Morrow will be pro-
scribed In all church circles. 1t Is said
that one woman a gone to the bad by
this route.
