Team of Horses Mad Plunge,

A gentleman from Strawberry Ridge,
who drove into this city Saturday morn
ing described frightful runaway on
one of the farms owned by Edward Boy
er. Upon emerging from Benfield's hol-
low man was observed rolling one
of the fields on the hillside to the right
within full view from the road. As will
be recalled by those who have driven
that way the great slope of land there,
taking in one or more farms, is very
steep, the angle at places being one OF
nearly As degrees and inaccessible to a
wagon.
The horses attached to the roller were
spirited animals. In descending the
hill they became restive under the
weight pressing upon them and the next
minute there was runaway. Just
ahead of the horses was fence and be-
low it another field where the hill side
was sleeper than in the field being roll
ed Under the momentum it was i'm
possible for the unreasoning animals to
turn and on they plunged, it seemed, to
instant death, the driver yainly trying
to control them and with much difficulty
maintaining his seat on the roller.
Arriving at the fence the horses with
single bound leaped over the obstacle,
dragging the roller after them, while the
driver falling from the seat slid off be-
hind and thus escaped. The runaway
now became thrilling beyond anything
ever witnessed. Down the steep hill
side the horses plunged-now falling,
rolling over each other, the huge land
roller itself turning end over end, then
regaining their feet and plunging on
ward down, down until three large fields
were traversed and the hollow below was
reached where the horses were caught. By
this time the roller-a fine modern i'm
plement-was reduced to splinters and
all that remained attached to the horses
was the doubletree. The horses were
| much bruised but so far as could be de-
| termined were not seriously injured.

AT WORK ON THE WELLS.

The work of drilling for the artesian
wells at the Reading Iron Works has al
ready been begun. The spot selected as
desirable for one of the two wells to be
sunk lies between the mill and the can
al. Here the drilling machine was plac-
ed in position yesterday and start
made, but up to last evening the bed of
rock had not been reached.
1t is by no means certain that water
will he obtained at this point, or that
drilling will proceed very far. The ex-
perienced eye of the driler as the work
advances will soon ascertain whether the
indications are favorable or otherwise.
Merely striking water at this point will
not be sufficient, but a subteranean bas-
in must be reached which will produce a
genuine "spouter" Nothing short of
such well would yield a supply of wat
er sufficient.
A depth of five or seven hundred feet
is not an extreme one for artesian wells.
A very famous well at Paris IS 500 feet
deep and yields 656 gallons of water pei
minute, the water being warm owing to
the great depth. 1t is not likely, how
ever, that the wells contemplated at the
Reading Iron Works will be sunk to a
greater depth than four or five hundred
feet.
Several practical miners here who are
familiar with the lay and structure OF
the earth in this section are of the Opin-
ion that an immense basin underles
this locality which will yield sufficient
pressure to produce one of the most fa-
nous artesian wells in the world. 1t will
be interesting to watch indications as
the work progresses to see how far these
theories may be verified.

When a boy. turns his bulging pocket
inside out we marvel at the quantity
and variety of articles he has slowed
away. odd lengths Of string, marbles,
horse chestnut, top, brass nails,
hickory nuts, an apple, and many more
articles are garnered by this snapper
up of unconsidered tritles. We think
think the collection must be hard on a
boys pocket, and it substance we put
into the pocket OF our stomach? There's
the apple and the nuts, and things be-
sides quite as indgestible as brass nails
and with no more food value than so
many marbles. And yet we wonder
that the stomach gives out. When
the stomach breaks down under the

CT impotence, pretense and collapse"
writes Rudyard Kipling in a striking
letter to The Spectator, upon the APP
peintment of Sir Redvers Butler and
Sir Evelyn Wood to command army
corps
This pungent senteape voices the
national feeling tha@ has prevailed
this week without regard to party
politics.
The Spectator, although among the
most cautious of the governments
supporters, comes out boldly, not only
with a declaration that the appoint
ments Of Generals Butler and Wood
are absurd, but also with demand
that Lord Kitchener be recalled. This
demand is nicely but Enthusiastically
Worded.
1t suggests that Lord Roberts
should go back for six months, Lord
Kitchener either relieving him in Lon
don or acting again as his chief of
staff in South Africa.
