Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Md, November 80. 1900.
The boring of the artesian wells in this
town has been stopped. Those in charge
say that they have never before met with
SO many difficulties at so short depth nor
with such stubborn ledge of rock as that
struck by them in this town. The first
serious obstacles to the drilling were at
a distance Of seventy-four feet down, and
until work was suspended day or SO ago
a stratum of rock between 300 and 400
feet has been encountered. The work will
be abandoned pending the result Of investi-
cations to be made by the water board as
to the quality OF the water in Crows
branch, small stream on the southern
limits Of the town Should this water pass
the test the stream will most likely fur
nish the water for the town, and site has
been chosen for the supply dam in natu-
raj basin, and where, with but little cost,
a dam sufficiently large could be built.

Life insurance men say that within
ten years the grip has come into the
front rank Of causes of mortality. Que
American company had 20 deaths from
II in 1890. In 1892 it had 1873 and in
every yeas since from 20 to 40 deaths
have been reported The medical ex-
aminers add that the figures under
state the fact, since many deaths as-
cribed 10 pneumonia, for instance, are
really caused by this vicious influenza,
which seems not only to strike at ono's
weakest point, but permanently to en-
feeble the whole system. Probably the
peculiar depression cndd'ed by the
disease helps to swell the niortalit,
