FOUND A SPRING.
Was Digging a Cellar end Water Gushed up
Cannot be Stopped.

While digging the cellar for Reh-
fuss new building on the site of the
old market, the men struck a spring,
which, in spite of their strenuous
efforts to stop it, gushed forth and is
still gushing. The sand tumbled in
from tho next door property, now
owned by Mr. Kaufman, and disclosed
a spring in his cellar also. MI. Kauf-
man knew there was something that
caused the cellar to be damp, but did
not dream of a spring being beneath
it. The gas man, when he came to
take account of the meter, said he
would have to have rubber boots on
before he could go down there, there
being so much water.
