GREECE HAS A FRIEND.

Constantnople, April 24.-As pre-
viously announced, the Turkish govern
ment some days ago called upon Bull
garia to break off all diplomatic rela-
tions with Greece and expel Greeks
from Bulgarian territory. The Bull
garian government took the matter
under consideration and, 1t is now an
nounced, has declined to comply, de-
cIaring she will observe neutrality dur
ing the war between Turkey and
Greece. This refusal of Bulgaria to
acknowledge her vassalaFe to Turkey
is regarded as foreshadOwing the de-
claration of the independence of Bull
garia.

STRUCK GAS.
Mr.. F. F. Collins Now Has a Natural

Mr.. F. F. Collins Now Has a Natural
Gas Well on his Property.
On the piece of ground which Mr.
F. F. Collins offered to trade the city
in exchange for a portion of the river
few weeks ago, that gentleman now
has a we'll sending forth water with
medicinal properties and a good sup
ply Of natural gas besides.
Several days ago while boring on
his premises near the river bank, Mr..
Collins, at a depth of 42j feet. struck
a flow of pure iron and sulphur water
to which he connected a pipe and eX-
tended it to a place nearer the river
where it was brought to the surface,
giving the appearance of a spring.
The well was continued and at a
depth of 725 feet a strong flow of or
binary water was obtained which Mr..
Collins has had piped up and run into
a large stand pipe 80 feet high, the
water rising to within two feet of the
top of the pipe and being used to SUPP
ply the large foundry and machine
shop of the company.
A few days ago while watching his
improvised sulphur spring Mr.. Collins
discovered gas bubbles issuing from
it and began experimenting with it
| by inverting a tin can over the water,
using IL as a tank. He cut a hole
through the bottom and applied a
match when he discovered that il
would burn.
He then had a tank constructed OF
a large tin bucket which he placed over
the well, connecting four gas burners
with il by a half-inch pipe. These
he lighted yesterday afternoon anC
they have been constantly burning ev.
er since, giving forth a bright strong
blaze.
Thus Mr.. Collins has a mineral wei
and a gas we'll combined. The water
from this we'll is pronounced healthfu
and is very palatable to the taste.
