UNDERGROUND RIVER.


MARION, o., Aug. H.-Roaring wells in
widely separated parts Of the State indi-
cate the existence OF a mighty subterra-
mean river that flows across the State at a
depth Of comparatively few feet below the
surface. at least at certain places. The
latest OF the roaring wells is at Chardon,
a suburb of Cleveland. The men have re-
fused to work in it. and plans are being
made TO dynamite 1t. The phenomena are
exactly the same as those noticed in a we'll
on the farm of Mrs. Amanda Ensminger,
near here. When this we'll had been dug to
a depth of about fifty feet the roaring noise
became alarming. and during the night
the bottom fell out and left an opening into
a subterranean stream'that was so swift
that il was impossible to sound IL. The
wells at Chardon are evidently on the same
underground river. for the phenomena are
Identical. and indicate that the mighty un-
seen river extends across the State from
north to south.
