SALT IN DEEP WELLS.
In Southern Virginia Salt Is No
Csable.

C:able.
Important light has been thrown on
the underground. water resources of
Southeastern Virginia by a deep well
recently constructed 1T Fort Monroe.
The well was sunk to bedrock granite"
2,246 feet, but although several water
bearing strata Were penetrated, they
were all found to develop flows of salt
water The result obtained from the
Fort Monroe well confirm those found
elsewhere in this region.
Salt water only has been found in
borings at Norfolk, Va, at 7G0 feet;
at Wilmington, n c., where the Ged
rock was reached; at the Chamberln
Hotel, Gid Point Comfort, at 947 feet,
and in several wells at Crisfield, in
Southern Maryland. These borings in
dictate that there are no prospects for
disable underground waters in the re-
gion. Eastern Virginia is underlaid by
succession of widely extended sheets
of sand and clay lying in regular order
on an east-sloping floor of granite or
other bedrock"
This rock disappears beneath the sur
face along zone passing near Peters
burg, Richmond. Fredericksburg and
Washington, and descending at rate
varying from forty to a hundred feet a
mile, reaches a considerable depth near
the ocean,, 246 feet at Fort Monroe
Che sands of the everything formations
contain water which is abundant and
fresh for the first forty to fifty miles
from the west, but is now known not
to be available in the extreme south
east.
Numerous finely flowing wells have
been obtained, says the New York
Times, along the Potomac, Rappahan-
mock, York and James rivers, from sew
eral sand horizons, but about Old Point
Comfort and to the south and east the
upper water-bearing sands have
changed into Notwithstanding clays
and the lower sands yield only salt
water.

THE ROBBERY By 4 TRUST,

1t was not necessary that demonstra-
ton should be made Of the truth that
the peoples meat supply has been ma
nipulated and the consumers of meat
robbed by the beef trust within the past
month or so, Not a single abnormal con-
dition existed affecting the supply of
beef on the hoof. Meteorological con-
ditions were in a very slight measure
unfavorable, but neither that one nor
all known circumstances combined OPP
Grated to increase the prices which the
trust was obliged to pay to the raisers
of cattle. 1t was and is clear case
of men who by their position in CONNER
cial and industrial life have unlimited
opportunities of public extortion and
oppression in their power availing them
selves of those opportunities under the
dictation of their own greed.
The Chicago Record Herald will carry
conviction to few persons by it's exhaust
i've elucidation of the conditions attend
ing the market for cattle and fresh
meat since the trust began its latest OPP
eratiens of extortion, for persons of
ordinary intelligence, who had expend-
ed any measure of thought on the stu
alton, have been convinced from the out
set that it was a case of bald public
robbery.
Yet there are those who have pretend
en- to believe that the situation was an
honest expression of the law of supply
and demand in actual operation. 1t is of
course a matter Of common knowledge
that the control of the market by the
trust on the one side, is so complete
that the retail dealers in fresh meat,
once known as butchers, have the trust
as their only source of supply, and that
they are compelled to pay such prices
as the trust dictates; and, on the other.
that, as established by the Record-Her-
aid, the raisers of cattle are absolutely
without a competitive market, the pric-
es being dictated from Chicago by tho
existing combination.
1t is conceded that the present trend
of commercial transactions renders It
necessary that a given industry shall
be controlled by one or more combina-
tons Of capital, acting more or less
closely in cooperation. This condition
has its undoubted advantages; but when
the controlling combination, as in this

HORRORS OF BLACK CELL.
Terrible Form of Punishment Used
in French Caledonia.

1t was in lie Nou that Mr.. Griffith saw
the terrible CachOt NOir or Black Cell
that engine of mental murder which the
sentimentalism communards has substi-
tuted for the infinitely more merciful
lash" The Cachots Noirs were never
opened except at stated intervals-once
every morning for inspection and once
every thirty days for exercise and a
medical examination of the prisoner. Mr.
Griffith stopped at the doors of two cases
of ten years solitary confinement in the
dark, and asked for the doors to be
opened. The cOmmandant demurred for
moment. Mr. Griffith's credentials were
explicit and the doors were opened
out of the corner in one came some
thing in human shape. crOuching forward

note, that since then-not, however by

ment has been made less severe.-Scots-

SOLID NILE OF WORKS
Mammoth Plant to Be Erected at
Economy by the American Bridge
Company viii Be Duplicated
i'm Chicago.

PITTSBURG, April 2S-An exact du-

at Economy by the American Bridge
coI~ any viii be erected at Chicago at
a cost of between $500, 900 and So. COO 900.
This decision was recently reached by
the directors Of the United States Steel
corporation, and will be one of the re-
suits of the pending bond issue Of $50
COQWO. The Chicago plant will be used
TO concentrate the works of the West
ern district. The Toledo plant alone
viii remain in operation. 1t will be op-
Grated in connection with the Pittsburg
and Chicago works. The land for the
Chicago works has already been purchas-
ed.
1t is the intention Of the American
company TO start the construction of the
Economy plant this summer. Grading is
row being done, and the expectation is
that the great eye-bar will be ready for
operation on Aug l. The building OF
the Economy plant will take the remain
der of the year, and upon its compilation
it is the purpose to start work on the
Chicago works. This will have an an
nual capacity of from 10000 to 10000
tons, and will give employment to about
5000 men.
The Chicago plant will be about one
mile long, and will be so arranged that
material can be handled quickly and
cheaply without hand labor 1t is the
intention to concentrate the Lassig and
American plants of Chicago, the Mil

MLSSIsSIPPI YERY LOT.

There is disposition in some quarters
to poke fun at the Mississippi for failing
to rise to the occasion this spring. The
Father of Waters is so low that the cap
tains of the fleets of steamers that ply its
bosom have concluded to tie up some
where between st. Paul and st. Louis
A suggestion comes in from one corner
of wagdom that if kept wen spriukled tie
river bed might be used for boulevard
From another comes the weird hint that
if worst comes to worst traffic between
ST. Paul and Winona could be conducted
by stoneboat And from still another that
river should have no trouble to get
aboard the water wagon"
In the meantime, the once majestic
stream refuses for good reasons to lasn
itself into a fury but quietly runs away
from the issue, stung no doubt because CT
the failure Of Jupiter Pluvius to come en-
Enthusiastically to its rescue, though silent,
serene and scornful of its detractors
There is, however, a serious side to the
river problem both as to the Mississippi
and it's tributaries, the st. Croix and the
Rum. Seldom in the history of the North
west has there been so little water in the
streams of this section. Not only the
big lines which run between this port
and St Louis, but the lumber steamers as
well find too little water in most instances
for their craft, and so are obliged to lie
to from very force of circumstances I'm
til hoped-for spring freshets bring a suf-
fcient flow to make navigation safe.
Moreover all of the log drives northward
as far as Grand Rapids are hung up in
definitely, as there is nowhere water
| enough to start logs without immediate
! and constant danger Of a jam. There is,
too, only slight prospect of relief. Most
of the snow of the highlands-and there
| wasn't much of it-has melted without ap-
probably helping the water courses into
which it has flowed. The hope Of both
| the logger and the steamboat man is in
heavy, continuous rains.

Daniel S. Lamont has been entered
for the presidential sweepstakes in 1904.
He is named by Montana, state which
can pick winners.
Gen John S. NJ. Neil, who was in st.
Paul recently with Gov. Toole and other
prominent gentlemen from the Treasure
state, announced the preference of his
state for Mr.. Lamont in an interview
with the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
''The Democratic party cannot find a
better or more available man than Dan
Lamont" said Mr.. Neill. This is my
mature judgment after talking with
some of the leading Democrats of our
state. Mr.. Lamont is a business man,
but he also knows all the ms and outs
of the political game, and his nomination
would raise the hopes of the party as
nothing else would. German and Hill
are both accomplished politicians and
would make splendid cabinet officers, but
Lamont would outclass both of them as
a candidate for president"
7 h e G Of welcomes the addition
of Mr.. Lamont's name to the list of eli
gibles for the Democratic nomina ton
in 1904. He merits all the good things
said of him by the Montana leader, Gen
Neil, being member of the national
committee for his state. Mr.. Lamont
was exceedingly popular with everybody
who had occasion to meet him when he
was private secretary to President Cleve-
land during the latters first term. and
was equally popular as a member of his
cabinet during Mr.. Cleveland's second
term.
No one can foretell who will be nomi-
mated by the next Democratic national
convention. That body win be com
posed of free and Independent Demo
Gratis, assembled with an eye single t.
the success of their party, wearing nc
mans collar, bound by chains to nc
mans chariot. After calm delberatfor
and careful scrutiny of all entries, T h {
G o e does not doubt that a wise
choice will be made, and that a united,
harmonious, enthusiastic party will
march behind the leader to a glorious
victory at the polls in November, 1904.
Among the many available names t.
be considered by that convention will be-
esat of Daniel S. Lamont

New Street Car Conductors Novel
Scheme Fails to Produce Results.

New Street Car Conductors Novel
scheme Fails to Produce Results.
Old street car conductors sometimes
have great deal of trouble with their
.'understudies" 1t is the custom of the
Indianapolis company to "break in" new
men by sending them out over the lines
with experienced employees who have been
long in the service. This is done in order
to train the new men to act as substi-
tutes or extras Recently a Brightwood
line conductor had one of the new men In
charge. On the first trip the beginner was
shown how to collect fares, how the rod
connecting with the indicator should be
manipulated to show a ticket, how 1t
should be worked to indicate a cash fare
and how the trip reports should be made
out, in the meantime teaching him the
names of the streets and when to cau
them. On the next trip the understudy
thought he had learned his part SO well
he asked permission to run the ear him
self under supervision. The old conductor
watched the new man collect the fares
and saw that he missed number. When
he returned to the rear of the car he
was informed that he was five short-that
there were thirty passengers and he had
collected only twenty-five fares Without
waiting for further advice the new man
put his head in the door of the car and
shouted:
'All who haye not paid their fares will
please stand up"
Not passenger moved. Perhaps they
were too amazed-probably as mucn
ast0nished as the old conductor. The
siltnce was becoming almost painful
Finally suburbanite nudged his neighbor
and asked him why he didn't stand up
Cant lie was the reply. I'm hon
est. Paid my fare"
By this time the .humor of the situation
began to dawn on the other passengers
The men laughed. and the women smiled
all except five girls in the front part of
the car, who were so busy talking they
had not heard the new conductor 5
''stand-up" order nor witnessed what fol-
lowed. One of the girls had a bunch of
transfer tickets partly concealed in a
glove. The old conductor knew where the
missing faces were and had intended to
tell the new man, but the latter u4d not
give him time The incident was ended
by the old conductor walking to the talk
alive girls and saying Fares, please" as
If nothing had happened. The transfers
were surrendered without the girls know
ing an attempt had been made to intro
duce an innovation in street car ethics
