SUNDAY MARKETS.
They Were Held In England Even
Before the Conquest.

They Were Held In England Even
Before the Conquest.
According to the Domesday book, a
Sunday market was held at st. Ger
mans, Cornwall, even before the con-
quest, though it was soon rendered of
little value owing to the establishing
of another on an adjacent piece Of
ground by the Conqueror's half broth
er
From the conquest right on to the
time of Henry VII. and in few cases
longer these Sunday markets were
common. We find records of them at
Bradford, Worcester, Battle, Launce-
ston and parts of Durham, Lancashire
and Lincolnshire.
Launceston in 1906 gave King John
5 marks for license to change the day
to Thursday Battle did pretty much
the same thing. Despite an act of par
lament in 1449 abolishing them some

ENGLISH FACTORY LAWS.

Brought About by Pitiable COndi-
lions In Cotton Factories.
The first English factory laws were
made III 1902 and We're enacted mainly
because of the pitiable condition of the
young pauper children employed In the
Lancashire cotton factories.
An outbreak Of fever in the Rad
cliffe Cotton works, 1874, was traced
by Manchester doctors to overcrowded
and insanitary factories and the long
hours of the workers The magistrates
made an attempt to lessen the evils,
but in spite of their success in slightly
reducing the hours Of labor things
grew worse and other epdemics oc
Cured
The Manchester board of health took
the matter up in 1896 and urged the
necessity of legislation to deal effec
lively with it. Public interest was
aroused, and further revelations of the
fragrant Ill treatment of apprentices 50
deeply stirred public feeling that in
1902 Sir Robert Peel brought in a bill
known as the health and morals Of
apprentices act,'' which was passed
without difficulty and placed on the
statute book

LEWIS COUNTY
GETS A ROARER
MONSTER GAS WELL COMES IN
NEAR WEsToN-Is NOT VET
UNDER CONTROL.

} PARKERSBuRG. w. Va. Oct. H.
Thirty million feet OF natural gas is
escaping daily from what is said to be
the largest gas well ever struck. Tie
well was drilled by the Philadelphia
Gas Company. near Weston, in Lewis
county, and when the tools struck the
opening there came rush of gas
which hurled great bolders from the
well and drove everyone from the der.
rick.
II is estimated that the well has a
pressure of 1,400 pounds to the square
inch, and every effort to get IL under
control has failed. The roar of the
escaping gas can be heard for miles
around, and the gas which has phos.
phorecent appearance, stands at night
like great column of fire above the
derrick.
Seven years ago Guffey & Galley. OF
Pittsburg, drilled the well for oil, but
abandoned It as no oil was found. Re.
Gently gas began escaping from fis.
sures in the ground and a school house
was destroyed by escaping gas. which
caught fire. The present owners
bought the gas rights. Every effort is
being used to control the flow and
stop the enormous waste.
