the nose by young Devine. who became
so terrified over what he had done that he
ran away from the college and went 10

in his Office Mr.. Devine was then twenty
years old. and he said frequently that
from that time until he was fifty-ffve ne
had never earned less than 500 a week
by bis shorthand work.
IN 1866 Mr. Devine became the reporter
for the New York Associated Press In
the United States Senate and served in
that capacity until 1874 when Re wss sp-
pointed an official reporter OF committees
in the House Of Representatives.
He remained IN that position until 1873.

Clash with Senator.
An interesting episode in Mr.. Devins's
career occurred while he was the Senate
reporter for the New York Associated
Press. In making a report OF the speech
delivered in the Senate by Carl Schurz.
Mr.. Devine made note OF the fact that
Roscoe Conkling had interrupted Senator
SchurZ no less than twenty-seven times
by calling out question Mr. President
Next day Mr.. Conkling rose in the Sen

called attention to the report OF the New
York Associated Press, and demanded
Mr. Devine should be excluded from the
press gallery Mr.. Devine, in response,
wrote a card In which he said that every
statement about himself made BY Mr..
Conkling, with the exception that he sat
in the press gallery. was a falsehood.
When Mr. Conkling saw this card he
offered a resolution 70 have Mr. Devine
expelled from the press gallery. It is
said that Senator Matt Carpenter. who
was chairman Of the committee 10 which
this resolution Was referred. made the
remark that, IF Roscoe ConkIIng thinks
he Is going to wash any OF his dirty
linen in my committee he's mistaken. .
The Conklirg resolution was not pressed.

AGAIN AT FLORENCE

The oil well mentioned \ few days
ago. which is being drilled by the
Florence Oil company about six or
seven hundred yards north OF their
refinery, has again thrown out large
volumes Of water. Last night about
IL o'clock a rush of gas flowed into
the hole and for ten minutes threw a
steady stream of water more than one
hundred feet above the surface of
the ground. and much above the rig.
The we'll has now reached the depth
Of 1850 feet. 1t is a peculiar clrcum-
stance in that NO other well that has
ever been drilled In this field has en-
countered gas in sufficient quantities
10 throw the water above the surface.
and also from the fact that no where
In this country is salt water encount-
cred in such holes. There have been
q number OF holes drilled from which
flowed water impregnated with soda
and other mineral, but this Is the first
salt water that has SO far been tapped
