Beaumont, Tex, Aug. N.-One Of the
largest oil wells 10 the Beaumont oil
field lie utterly beyond control and
spreading oil over the prairies by thou
sands aud thousands OF barrels. The
well is q thousand feet deep with an
eight inch hole. At lis yesterday
morning, without the slightest warning,
while the mea were drilling there was
a terrific roar, and water was shot out
of the we'll followed by the oil, which
was sprayed 10 every direction. The
men had barely time to escape and left
the rotary clamping the drilling pipe.
This prevents closing the valve. Five
hundred dollars reward was offered for
any one who would tear away the
rotary and let the oil go clear. 10 at
tempting to do this two men died
and dozen more we're overcome, some
barely regaiDiDg life. Messages have
been sent TO Galveston for deep sea
diving suit 10 which it Ia proposed to
invade the oil and close the valve.
8 louId the oil take fire by any means,
the consequences would be awful.

any position by that convention, per-
haps he is too mad to talk, for the

nominated must have put him in a

matter, however. As MIR. Blair has

for lieutenant governor Geo. Walker

many people believe that an old man

as a young mau in homage. There is

said he was opposed to discussing the
proclaimiDg or submission OF constl-
tuition until he knew what kind Of con-
stItution he would have to vote upon.
Many people agree with Mr.. Duuuaway
and think the convention should go to
work and frame the constitution before

about how it should be PIT into force.
II the instrument proves to be good and
