ALBANY'S FIRST ARTESIAN WELL.

lie Spirited Cltlien.
From Frldny'o Dully Herald.
Id yeeterday'a Hekai.d wo pnbllahed
on lntereotiDg remlnleoenoe from the
pen of Major Robert J. Bacon, of Baoon-
ton, who told of the deolalre ntond
token by Albany'a mayor of the year
188? when an effort wan being made In
thin oity for the flnt time to aeoure o
natural flow of artealan water.
Mr. F. L. Wilder, the only aorviving
non of the late lamented Major W. H.
Wilder, called at the Hkkald offioe thia
morning to offer aome additional infor
mation bearing on tho htatory of Al
bany'a flrat well.
"The facta in the caae are theae," aaid
Mr. Wilder. "The city had apent a
large anm of money on the Brood atreet
Well, and no flow of water had been
peonred. At a meeting of Oonnoil held
to oonaider the matter, my,father'* opin'
Jon waa overridden, and it won deoided
to oarry the well no deeper. Water waa
then within twenty fdet of the anrfaoe,
and It waa proponed to pnmp it ont.
"At thla jnnotnrel Mr. Jacob Lornh
went to my father and aatd: 'Major, it
yon want to have that well carried on
down and believe that water will be
fonnd In the end, I want you to aee that
the work la not interrupted. Your
council haa abut off the supply of money,
ao draw on me for whatever ,1a needed.
I will pay the billa.’
"The work therefore went ahead, and
before the time rolled around for the
neat oounoll meeting a atrong flow of
water wan scoured. The oounoll was
then willing enough to foot the billa."
To Mr. Loroh, therefore, aa muoh aa to
any other man, in due credit for getting
the flrat flow of water from an artesian
well In Albany.
REV. E. B. CARROLL.
Pettner Albany Pastor Realise From Macau
Church Is Qo to Carrolllun.
' Many of the readers of the Hkkald
will be Intonated In the following from
the Maoon Evening News of yesterday :
Dr. E. B. Carroll, pastor of the Vine-
vllle Baptist ohuroh, haa resigned and
acoepted a oall to the Baptist ohuroh at
Carrollton. He will leave in a few days
for his new ohargo.
The people of Vinevllle and of Maoon,
regardless of denomination, will deeply
regret that Dr. Carroll la to leavo as he
haa endeared himself in the hearts of all
who havo come In oontaot with him both
aa a man aud aa a pastor. Tho people
of Carrollton are to be congratulated on
aeonrlng him uh a pastor and aa aoitizen.
It is not yet known who will anooeed
Dr. Carroll as tho congregation waa not
expecting the resignation. Several
names have been suggested but no one
haa yet been oulled.
NO NEGROES IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
AND SERIOUS FIRE AT STEAM LAUNDRY
WAS NARROWLY AVERTED.
Several Parties Received Palnlul Burns, and
It la a Matter For Coairatulatlon That
No Lives Were Lost—Negro Woman’s
Clothing Torn From Her Body to Save
Her Life.
From last Friday's Herald.
The plant of tho Albany Steam Laun
dry on Brood street, near Jefferson,
narrowly escaped total deatrnotlon by
Are jnat before noon today. Prompt
and offiolent work by the fire depart
ment, together with what must be re
garded aa rare good fortune, checked
the flamea before they gained dangerons
headway.
Several parties connected with the
lanndry were painfully burned, and
that no livea were lost la a matter for
congratulation and tbankfnlneas.
The ironing machines in the lanndry
are heated by gas generated from gaso
line. The tiro waa oansod by the heat
ing and generating apparatus beoomlng
deranged, eo that when Mr. YV. R. Crit
tenden attempted to light it, disaster re
sulted. The flamea leaped through sev
eral maohlnos and entered the genera
tor, whloh exploded with a lond report.
Fortunately, the generator contained
only a few quarts of gasoline.
There waa a large tin oan containing
more gasoline atauding near the genera
tor, and to this the flames were oommn-
ntoated. Before an explosion of this ves
sel ooonrred, it waa picked up by Mr. R.
M. Crittenden and thrown from the
building, bnt left a trail of Are behind.
Both Mr. W. R. Crittenden and Mr. R.
M. Crittenden anatatned pa,nfnl barns,
aa did several other parties. Mrs. Urn-
phreya, who waa employed in the laun
dry, had her bands and one arm badly
burned. Elina Goa ton, oolored, ran into
the atreet soreamlng and with her doth-
lag enveloped In flamea, her skirts hav
ing become saturated with gasoline.
She would have been burned to death
had ahe not reoeived prompt assistance
from bystauders, who quiokly tore off
her clothes. Theae were qnlokly con
anmed after being thrown on tho
gronnd. Several parties who went to
thla woman's assistance reoeived pain
tnl bnrna on the hands. Strange to aay,
ahe waa not severely injured.
Tho money loss from the fire is small,
and folly covered by Inanranoe.
A great deal of sngar oano is being
marketed in Albany, tbongh thia pro-
duot la not supposed to be acceptable to
the palato until it haa been pnrified by
several frosts. The cane thia season ia
nnn.nnlly large and jnioy. the result of
the rainy weather, and will be flrat-olasa
after frost nips It a time or two.
The Hkkald understands that several
new residences are to be erected in the
oity within the next few months.
There is no let np In the bnllding ac
tivity that has existed for some time

CAVE UP FORTUNE
To Become the Wile ol Ei-Qoveroor Boh
Toylor.
Birmingham, Ala., September 28.—
It is reported in this oity on very good
authority that Mrs. Alice Fitte Hill, in
marrying former Governor Bob Taylor,
of Tennessee, at Tuaoalooea last Tnei
day afternoon, ran the risk of loeing
a fortune valned at $100,000.
Mrs. Hill was the widow of the late
Walton Hill, of Montgomery. Mr. Hill
left two children, Walton and James
Fitts Hill. By the terms of the will,
in oase of the marriage of his widow,
this estate is to go to the ohlldren, and
in the event of their death, the fortune
is to revert to the Hill family.
It is stated that Mrs, Taylor will re
sist the provisions of the will to the ex
tent that she will olatm her dowry, or
one-third of the estate, aod that she
will farther set forth that she Is entitled
to a large portion of the estate for the
reason that money that she had was In
vested In the properties that are now
worth $100,000.
It Is not stated that there will be any
legal aotton filed. It Is probable that an
amioable arrangement will be arrived
at. At the same time It appears very
certain that Mrs. Fitts Hill, in wedding
the former governor of Tennessee, has
sacrificed financial interests of no mean
degree. At the same time her father,
Hon. J. H. Fitts, of Tnscaloosa, is one
of the wealthiest men in Alabama, and
the sacriflcejwlli; not weigh overmuch
against the personal preference of a
gifted woman with reference to a hus
band of her own ohoice.
Women are Like
Healthy andstrong
I IUWCI they blossom
and bloom. Sickly, they wither and
die. Every woman ought to look well
and feel well. It’s her right and duty,
but she might as well try to put out a
fire with oil as to be healthy and at
tractive with disease corroding the
organs that make her a woman. Upon
their health depends her health. If
there is inflammation or weakening
drains or suffering at the monthly
period, attend to it at once. Don’t
delay. You’re one step nearer the
grave every day you put It off.
Women can stand a great deal, but
they cannot live forever with disease
dragging at the most delicate and
vital organs In their body. You may
have been deceived ln*so-called cures.
We don't sue how you could help It—
there is ao much worthless stuff on
tho market. But you won’t be dis
appointed In Bradfield’s Female Reg
ulator. Wo believe it is the one medi
cine on earth for womanly ills. There
is »s much difference between It and
other so-called remedies as there Is
betwienright and wrong. Bradfield’s
Female Regulator soothes the pain,
stops the drains, promotes regularity,
strengthens, purities and cleanses. It
does all this quickly and easily and
nuturnlly. It is for women alone to do- '
cido whether they will be healthy or
sick. Bradfield's Regulator lies at

Homo Tjrrollan Epitaphs.
A German traveler has discovered
some quaint epitaphs in a Tyrolean
oemetery, says Household Words.
On a tombstone in a valley of Tax
was this inscription, "In pions remem
brance of the honest widow Anna
Kredl, forty yoars long.”
A miller is thns remembered: "In
l
Christian memory of H , who de
parted this life without human assist'
anoe.”
A farmer, whose initials only arc
given, and who appears to have been
the anthor of his own epitaph, has this
memorial: "Here rests in God, P. K.
He lived twenty-six years as man and
thirty-seven years as husband.”
Ou the tomb of a man who fell from
a roof and was killed are these words:
“Here foil Jacob Hosenukopf from the
roof into eternity.”
This wail of a desolate husband caps
the climax: "Tears cannot bring thee
back to life, therefore I weep.”
The Bad Boy’s Bravery,
From tho Chicago Rocord-Herald.
I ain’t afraid of lickiu’s
Ami 1 ain’t afraid to stay
Away from school sometimes
When no one says I may;
I ain’t afraid to jump
On cars that’s ruuniu’ fast,
I ain’t afraid of horses.
And 1 bet yon that I dast
Throw pebbles at the grocery boy
When he goes drivin’ past;
I ain’t afraid of grandma,
And I ain’t afraid of pa;
I ain’t afraid of nothing
A body ever saw.
And once I shot a pistol
And nearly hit the mark—
Bnt I wish folks needn’t ever
Go to bed np where it’s dark.
IN FUTURE WARS
Both Aitomobllea aid Bicycles Will Play lot-
portsat Parts.
There is little doubt bnt that both the
blcyole and automobile will play a meet
important part in the next great Kcro-
pean war, and all the principal countries
seem to have realized thia fact and are
making elaborate experiments along
Blmilar lines. The utility of snoh ma
chines in a district where there are good
roads is conceded by experts, and the
recent asoent of Vesuvius by an adven-
tnrons antomobilist, and the crossing of
the Alps by another party with longings
for notoriety have opened the eyes of
the skoptlcs that they may be need un
der other conditions.
In the Boer war the bioyole is said to
have been a comparative fallnre, bnt
there are no roads to speak of in the
Transvaal. Still there was a measure
of success in certain instances, and the
recent maneuvers of a cycle corps in
England showed that with anything like
a decent road for mobility, cavalry was
not In it with thebioycle. The machine
haa already been adopted in the French
army, and twenty oyoliBt companies are
to be formed next year.
In regard to the automobile, the
United StatesRcousol at Ronen writes
the State Department that not long since
the antomobile owners in France re
ceived a circular from the artillery sta
tion at Vlnoennes regarding the condi
tions npon|whloh antomobilea conld be
bought, should mobilization become
neoessary.lThe minister of war in
Germany is having vehicles constructed
with tables npon;whioh officers oan con
sult their msps while on the maroh, and
also as ambnianoes, and to carry gnns,
ammunition, etc.
- In the recent|German military move
ments, automobiles, motooyclen and
bioyoles entirely replaoed horses in the
aervioe of the general staff. To ob
viate expense and delay in Bpealal con
struction of railroads for campaign pur
poses, the ministers of war of Anstria-
Hungary and of Italy are having auto
mobiles bnilt solely for rapid mobiliza
tion, The latter has offered prizes for
types fnifllllng certain conditions. The
Secretary of State for war in England
haa offered prizes amounting to more
than $4,000 for the best self-propelled
lorry, or wagon, for military purposes "
