gusher on his Greenleaf farm. A
flow was struck Saturday of
about 1920 feet by one of Nor
beck & Nicholson's outfits. 1t il
n two inch well and is reported
to be q gusher, zone of the best
aud strongest flows in the coun-
ty. The one-time "dry" country
In northwest Hand is. getting a
large number Of fine flowing wells
that will enhance values there
considerably, That section of
the county has,had less develop
ment thap other sections because
it was difficult to find plenty of
water in shallow wells. Thus it
became necessary to go down
after the artnsian flow, and that
necessity will prove the keynote
OF success and development.
Greenleaf township now has four
fiowing wells, Alden township
has five wells, Florence township
two, and others contracted for.
Zee Heights, Riverside, Ontario
and Campbell townships also
have artesian wells. The ques-
ton OF plenty OF good water has
been fnlly solved in northwestern

BOILER EXPLODED.
A Locomotive Is Wrecked-One Man
Is Killed and Four Injured.

Erie, Pa, May 25.-While passing
Mays siding on the hill about seven
miles west of Kane, yesterday, the
boiler on one of the locomotives
pushing a Philadelphia & Erie freight
train exploded, killing one man and
iniuring four others, three perhaps
fatally.
The disaster was an unusual one
insomuch as the train was running
at the time and also because the
crown sheet OF the exploded boiler
was blown clear through the ca
boose. splitting it in two and com.
pletely wrecking it, so that it was
set on fire and burned up as the
quickest way to clear the tracks. The
injured, except the engineer and
fireman, were in the caboose. The
dead:
John Craine, brakeman, unmar-
ried, lived at Langdon's, near this
city.
The injured: Charles Owens, con-
ductor on freight, Erie, married; will
die.

tance from the wreck.

RELIANCE AGAIN WINS.
The New Yacht Defeats the ConstItu-
ton and the Columbia.

New York, May 27.-In a gamely
contested race yesterday the Reliance
again led the way across the finish
line, winning her second victory over
the Columbia and her first over the
Constitution. Two minutes and 81
seconds later the Constitution finish
ed, and the crew of the new boat
gave her such cheer as she de-
served. The Constitution had sailed
plucky race and had a right to
share in the honors. From the start
to the finish she had fought out
every mile over the 30-mile course
and on two of it's legs had actually
outsailed the new boat, perform
ance which restores ner prestige i'm
perilled in her disappointing show
ing in the drifting match last Satur-
day, and makes her factor to be
reckoned with in the selection of n
carp defender.
The Columbia was, for the day, out
classed. From the very start she
was never for moment in the race.
While the Reliance and Constitution
were having it out between them
selves all the way around the course,
the former cup defender was drag
ging along miles astern of them and
when the Reliance sailed across the
finish line the Columbia was more
than two miles almost dead to lee
ward. The Reliance beat her by Is
minutes and 81 seconds.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 27.-The
subjects of home missions and aid
for colleges occupied the sessions of
the Presbyterian general assembly
yesterday. Both reports were pro-
ductive of interesting debate. The
notable speech of the day was made
by Rev. DIR. Charles L. Thompson, of
New York, who followed the reading
of the report of the board of home
missions. DR.. Thompson is an orator
of force and his speech aroused the
assembly as nothing else had done.

especially strong and every sentence
was greeted with applause from the
assembly and the gallery. The en-
tire afternoon was taken up with the
discussion of the report of the spe-
cial committee on and for colleges.
