ANCIENT SPRING
Interesting Discovery a
Rear of Honolulu Hale.


Ia searching yesterday for the cause
# the much-complained of nuisance in
he presence of sewage overflow in
Merchant street, presumably from the
Won Holt block, the agents of the
Board of Health made a most interest
ng discovery.
At the rear of the old Government
building next to the pOstoffice, and now
occupied by various attorneys as Of
fees, an old cesspool was unearthed.
At the bottom. below a mass of tan
sled wire and odds and ends, a spring
of water dubbed. This spring has a
most remarkable history. Old kamaal-
mas can remember how, as far back as
40, the well was sunk to supply water
for the locality. Natives and crews
from the whaleships drew their water
for general purposes from it, but on
account of its slightly brackish taste
it was never used for drinking.
For over thirty years the we'll served
the purpose for which it was originally
sunk. but when, in the eighties, the
Bell Telephone Company took up its
quarters in the old building, Mr.. Cas-
sidy found in the we'll most COnven-
lent means for the grounding of the
telephone wires and a handy receptacle
for useless wire ends and rubbish, in
Guiding many old Government records,
which today would prove exceedingly
valuable. This, nc doubt explains the
strange medley OF rubbish brought 10
the surface yesterday.
After the consolidation of the two
telephone companies and the removal
of the office, the well was carefully
covered and converted into cesspool

Natures WAY.

Mineral connections are dangerous.
Nature never designed them for heal
ing man. From time immemOrial
mans healer was purely vegetable;
and from that time to this, natures
unfailing remedy for rh aumatism, and
kindred diseases, was the same as
that found in Kickapoo Indian Oil. 1t
is natures remedy, and acts as kindly
rs nature. 1t drives away pain, kills
the dread rheumatism, and restores
the weakened tissue. 1t is made the
same as the Indians made it centuries
ago, out of roots, banks, herbs, gums,
leaves, gathered from natures unerr-
ing laboratory. Its record for cures
is unparalleled. Before civilized man
had heard of it, it kept the natives IN
perfect health. And since civilized
man has known it, the category OF
cures has become voiuminOus. No 9th

eight or ten leading snipyards in the

MOTOR CAR IN A DINING ROOM.
An Electric Vehicle Crashes Through
a House i'm baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct. 20.-A car on the
Central Line of the United Railways and
Electric Company jumped the track yes
terday afternoon at the corner Of Clifton
Street and Fulton Avenue and crashed into
The side of the house of William Henry
Hammersley, 2045 North Fulton Avenue
knocking hole through the wall and push
ing itself into the dining-room.
Mr.. Hammersloy was sitting in the kitch-
en- OF his home at the time, and his wife
was cooking dinner. lie said that the first
intimation he had OF the coming of the
car was when II crashed against a tree on
the sidewalk. Before he could leave his
seat the car had struck Inc house and was
partly in the dining-room. The room was
wrecked and orcken glass and crockery
were scattered everywhere. The car
struck the house partly at the window and
partly at the chimney. Bricks were scat
tered all over the room, and the mantel-
piece was knocked into the middle of the
floor. The clock was thrown to the other
side OF the room.
The shock shook the adjoining houses
and neighbors rushed in alarm into the
street, thinking an earthquake had oc-
cured. The tree on the sidewalk. which
was fairly good size, was torn out of the
ground and thrown against the house Mr.
Hammersley's loss is estimated at $500 to
furniture and house.
A few minutes before the accident the car
had been standing in the Clifton Avenue
car barn. Neither motorman nor conduc-
tor was on il. The first the employees Of
the company knew of the affair was when
they saw the car shoot out of the shed at
full speed and rush down Clifton Avenue
The cry of Runaway car!' was started
and Frank Hood, the motorman, who was
20 have taken the car out and who was at
the appointed place on Clifton Avenue to
exchange with the former motoman, tried
TO board the car, but was thrown violently
into the street and hurt about the legs
and arms.

at Pennsylvania Avenue, and when Just
across jumped the track and cut directly
across the street, heading for Mr. Ham

A SCHEME WELL WORKED.
Slick Fraud of a Swindler on a Min
nesOfa Bank.
From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.)

(From the St. Paul Pioneer Press)
A novel fraud by which Minnesota bank
was induced innocently to abet the robbing
of Montana bank has perplexed recently
one of the detective agencies. Enquiries
made last week at a st. Paul hotel as TO a
possible guest who wore silk hat a Prince
Albert coat and grey mutton-c chop whiskers
revealed the nature of the criminal scheme
But the enquiring detective would not re-
peat names.
A few weeks ago, said the detective, the
very respectable gentleman with the silk
hat bought of country bank not far from
this city draft on New York for 81 $780,
paying for it In currency. He explained
he was going to a small town in Montana
and that he did not care to take so large a
sum with him IN cash. Would the cashier
kindly notify the only bank in that Mon
tana town that he had sold the New York
draft to Mr. Hat, and that Mr.. Hat would
cash the draft at the Montana town? Ger
tainly the cashier would write. He did
write. And when the owner of the draft
appeared few days later at the Montana
bank he found not the slightest difficulty in
cashing forged copy of the draft

So, with apologies for taking the usual
precautions, the clerk, upon comparing the
signatures of Mr.. Hat, accepted his receipt
and gave him all in gold, as became a
banker of the mining State. 1000. AS the
new customer went out he made particu-
larly good joke about the Montana weather
The old gentleman with the subdued
manner had copied the original draft upon
blank that he had somehow secured from
the Minnesota bank, The letter from the
bank would naturally have quieted any
suspicion in Montana, for the letter gave,
as usual. the number of the draft and
other details. which we're fully corrobo-
rated in the forged copy. Inasmuch as the
letter proved to the Montana bank that
Mr.. Hat must possess an original draft
for the amount required, the bank would
never entertain the thought that forged

From the Mexican Herald.)

The trust idea is no longer distinctively Ameri-
can. The English manufacturers in various lines
are combining, while in France the trust is re-
garded with favor; but it is laughabe to find
trusts multiplying in Germany where the news
papers are forever holding the Americans up to
scorn as the victims of monopOies Two new
trusts are in process of formation in the land of
the Kaiser; the zinc producers of Rhine province
have undertaken to form a combination for the
purpose Of limiting production and fixing prices,
and they talk of asking the American zinc COM
panies to join them in a sort of world-monopoly.
In fact, the Germans. who are always thorough
going, are outdoing the American monopolies in
grandeur Of ideas. The other German trust ia

THE STRIKE IN CLEVELAND.


City Council VIII BE Urged to Pass
Prohibltive Ordinance.
Cleveland. June 19.-There were no
new developments in the strike Of the
street railway men yesterday, princi-
pally for the reason that the company
made no attempt to operate cars, ex-
cept on the Euclid avenue line. The
police still afforded ample protection,
and the cars were run on schedule time
from O'Clock in the morning until 6
O'Clock in the evening.
The strikers are preparing for big
demonstration this evening. A meet
ing is to be held in the afternoon, at
which representatives of all the labor
unions are expected to be present. The
meeting will arrange for a parade to
take place in the evening. 1t is an
ticipated that between 10000 and 10000
union workingmen will be In line, and
there will be several bands in the pro-
cession. The object of the demonstra-
tion will be to influence the members
of the city council, and 100 representa-
tives of organized labor will be selected
to attend the meeting of that body and
request the passage of an ordinance In
troduced a week ago, which requires
that all motormen shall have at least
20 days experience in running cars in
| Cleveland before they can be employed
in this city. The present ordinance
| on that subject requires 10 days ex-
| perience, but it may be had anywhere.
| The representatives of labor will also
ask the council to request Mayor Far
! ley to withdraw police protection from
the Big Consolidated company, and de-
mand that If the company does not
operate it's cars in compliance with the
terms of its charter the franchise be
forfeited.
There was a serious conflict between
5000 strike sympathizers and the po-
lice on Saturday. A number of people
were seriously injured, and the wounds
of Edward Miller, who had his skull
fractured, may result in his death.
