q PECULIAR WELL.
Gives Supply Of Fine Soft Water When
in Proper Mood; at Other Times
Throws Up Sand.

The antics of their peculiar well are
just now causing the city council of the
town OF Manson to lose considerable
sleep. The well has from the first ex-
hibited freakish propensities that rem
oered the best well men ignorant. The
well gives the city supply of fine soft
water when in the proper mood, and the
rest OF the time furnishes sand. The
now is intermittent, and lately the well
stopped completely by sand plug. The
city council conceived the idea of pump
Ing the sand out, but he supposed au-
thorities on such matters told them Il
was impossible. Even while one Of them
was speaking the sand was being pumped
up by the wagon load At one hydrant
two wagon loads ran out. The council
is OF the opinion now that their troubles
are over for the time being.

Trenton Lawyer Receives m Letter
 From Ion Perdicaris.
 TRENTON, N. J., June 14-Levy T. Hannum, Trenton lawyer and the legal representative in this country of Ton Perdicaris, who is now held in cap tivity by-Raisuli, the Morocco bandit, has received letter from MT. Perdi- caris written from his place of captiv- ity.
 Mir Perdicaris in his letter goes into the details of his capture and tells about having been obliged to ride horseback about twenty-four hours. During the riding he fell from his horse and hurt his thigh. MT. Perdi- caris takes rather humorous view of his unpleasant predicament and says that outside of the detention and some inconvenience he is being decently treated. His nephew, Cromwell Var ley, who resisted capture, MT. Perdi- caris says, was rather roughly ham dled.
 Mr Perdicaris said that he thought at first that he would be either starved or tortured, but that in this he was mistaken and that his captor merely desires to secure the release of certain prisoners taken from among his people and to get $7O.OOO ransom money de- manded.
 MT. Perdicaris says he is in daily communication with his wife and that he and Varley are allowed a tent to live in.

 The gong is the great tenor bell of the cathedral, which weighs 32 cwt., and it is going and the striking parts of the clock are some yards apau communication being by slenderswire The clock has no dial. The time is shown on the main wheel of the es- exponent, which goes round once in two hours.
