A SALT WATER WELL.
Sunk for the Supply of Pools and Tanks
at the New York Aquarium.

Sunk for the Supply OF Pools and Tanks
at the New York Aquarium.
TheAsalt water pools and tanks of the
New York aquarium at Battery park
are now supplied from we'll sunk on
the premises. The aquarium's salt wa
ter supply was originally drawn direct
from the bay through an intake pipe
carried out near the bottom from the
Battery sea wall. The water thus taken
was filtered in The usual manner before
delivering it into the pools. This
source of supply was continued until
the completion of the salt water well.
The Castle Garden structure, IN which
the aquarium is located, is built on
made ground; the tide was known to
rise and fall under some parts of the
building. There is cellar under that
part of the building which fronts on
Battery park, aud there an excavation
was made with view to the sinking
of salt water well. This excavation
was carried down to point below tide
level, seven feet below the cellar and
IS feet below the floor of the aquarium,
through made ground found to consist
of number of feet of stone and gravel,
filed in on top of two tiers of logs laid
crosswise and resting upon stone
thrown in on the bottom. In this ex-
cavation, which was about $50 feet in
land from the Eattery sea wall, the tide
rose and fell about one hour later than
its rise and fail in the open waters adj
jacent to the Battery. The tests of this
temporary well as to supply and char
acteristics being satisfactory, work
was begun upon the permanent plant
now in use.
The well was carried down to q
depth of II feel, and perforated iron
tube was sunk in it, with which was
placed the suction pipe of the pump
that is attached to it. The water Is
drawn through wrought-iron gall
vanized pipe seven inches in diameter
and 207 feet in length, which, with a
number of easy bends, follows along i'm
side the wall of section OF the nearly
circular building from the well to the
pump, which is located near the boiler
room and the aquarium's supply tanks.
The capacity of the pump is 600 gallons
minute; it has been tested to the 5ull
capacity of the delivery pipe, with the
result of showing ample supply in the
well. The requirements of the aquari.
UNI, however, are less than this.
The water from the well is of the
same density as that taken from the
open bay. 1t is ten degrees warmer in
winter and about ten degrees cooler
in summer. 1t is drawn through what
is in effect great natural filter, and it
is beautifully Gear. This supply is de-
sirable for the aquarium stock, and its
economy is obvious, doing away, as it
does, with the use of artificial filters
and the need for the material required
in operating them.
There is, so far as DR.. Bean of the
aquarium is informed, no other aquari-
um in the world with like source o.
salt water suprly.-N. Y. Sun.

A DISAPPOINTMENT
BY THOMAS p. MoNrFoRr.
written for This Paper.l


Mr.. Joseph Overton and Miss Matilda
Fink owned aud occupied adjoining
claims out on the broad plain of Kan
sas. Mr.. Overton had family, con-
sisting of wife and several children.
Miss Fink was alone save for a nephew
ton was well-to-do financially, being
the owner of many broad acres of SPLEEN
did land, as well as other forms of prop
erty and money. Miss Fink was quite
poor, possessing little aside from her
almost barren claim.
Mr.. Ovcrton was an honorable man
In the ordinary acceptation of that
term; but, like most honorable men,
he had his faults, and his greatest fault
was greed. He possessed consuming
desire to accrue riches, and in carrying
out that desire was not always as con-
scientious as an honorable man should
be. In fact, in looking out for his own
interests he seemed to lose sight of
other peoples, altogether.
Now among the articles of wealth
which Mr.. Oyerton desired to possess
was the claim owned and occupied by
Miss Fink. 1t was good claim, and
Mr.. Ovcrton just needed it to square
out his farm. He wanted it very much
ind he resolved that he would secure
it as soon as ever an opportunity Of
fered. Miss Fink would have sold the
claim any day, but that was not the
opportunity Mr.. Overton was looking
for, since Miss Fink reserved to her.
self the right of fixing price.
TWO or three years passed, and Mr..
Overton patiently bided his time, wait
ing and hoping for something to trans
pire to enable him to secure the claim
for half its worth, or less. And at
last his opportunity came.
Early in the spring Miss Fink's
nephew took down with malaria and for
three long months was confined to his
bed. 1t was during the busy season on
the farm, when the crop should be
planted and cultivated. Miss Fink not
only lost her nephew's help, but her
own time was taken up in caring for
him and nursing him through his sick
ness. So that season Miss Fink raised
no crops, and when the autumn came
she was almost destitute of the neces-
saries of life.
In order to live through the winter
che was compelled to borrow money,
end she applied to Joseph Overton for
loan. With a great show of reluctance
he eagerly advanced her $500 and took
mortgage on her land. When the
business was completed and Miss Fink
had gone home, Joseph rubbed his
hands together gleefully and softly

The authorities are still undecided
as to the course Of procedure with
reference to the Bastian matter, or
as to how far an investigation will be
made and with what end in view.
Public interest in the sensational
disclosures continues undated and
anxious inquiry is made day by day
for new developments. Reports OF
previous forgeries on the part of Bas-
tian, Of numerous shady money
transactions, and of clues which If
pursued might lead to further reve-
lations of crime such as have been
alluded to from time to time are
plentiful. The county authorities
should not cease their investigations
until every resource is exhausted

MONEY rs MISSING.
Odd Circumstance About Mrs.
Thornton's Estate.
RELATIVES ARE INVESTIGATING.

Finances Realized From the Sale Of Prop
erty Ca.noe be Accounted For and the
Heirs Intimate That There Has Been
Some Crooked Work.
An investigation 10 being pursu ed
by relatives with reference to the es-
tate of the late Mrs. Hannah Thorn
ton and it is said circumstances not
at all pleasant to some concerned will
yet develop.
Mrs. Thornton, who died . few
weeks ago, in her will left her entire
possessions to two nephews, William
and j. E. Patton, of Philadelphia.
These gentlemen were in the city
yesterday and on looking up the
matter with the assistance of attor-
neys ascertained that the money
which Mrs. Thornton realized from
the sale Of her property had van
ished. In fact, the deceased left
neither real estate nor money.
The deceased's estate was valued
at about $500. OF late years since
the death of her husband che had
been living in one of her downtown
residences with an old lady named
Catharine Lee. Mrs. Thornton was
very old and feeble and last winter
was struck with the idea of selling
her property.
Makes = Deal with Neighbor.
Peter Curnyn was a neighbor and
close friend of Mrs. Thornton, and to
him the property was sold for 81, 200,
the Pattons claim. The deed was
signed in the presence of Mrs. Cath
arine Lee. whom, it is said. claims
that no money changed hands during
the transaction.
The Messrs. Patton were unable to
find anything belonging to Mrs.
Thornton in their investigation yes.
terday and intimate that there has
been some crooked work going on.
They intend investigating until the
mystery is cleared up.
