Washington's Well to BE Reopened.

The company which proposes to
build hotel in Cumberland, Md, on
the site of old Fort Cumberland, to
be known as the George Washington,
plans to restore the old George Wash
ington we'll, which had been filled up
by the late James A. Millolland, pres
ident of the Georges Greek Railroad
Company. The well was closed be-
cause it was regarded as dangerous for
children playing in the neishborhocd
1t is planned to take in the well,
which was bored by Washington, as a
part of the property. A stone build
ing will be erected over the site and
the water will be used if the analysis
proves it to be safe for drinking pur-
poses. A rustic stone building that
would suggest architecture Of Revolt
tionary times is to be built.
According to tradition, this we'll was
George Washington, then in command
at Fort Cumberland, British outpost,
for the purpose of supplying the fort,
barracks and inhabitants, with water.
There was ample water in the Potomac,
which skirts the foot Of the hill, but
Indians on the opposite side Of the river
would shoot at those going to the rivers
edge.
Ii is said the rock was bored and the
borings packed with unslaked lime.
When the lime was slaked the explosion
caused by the expansion OF the lime
cracked the rock in such a manner that
the soldiers could take up the rock lay
or by layer, il is aid.
1t is believed the well contains many
relics. 1t is the intention TO use the
old-fashioned oaken buckets in get
ting water from the we'll which would
prove an attraction for tourists, thous-
ands Of whom pass through Cumber-
land annually over the national road.
