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 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.

SWIFT SPECIFIO 00., Atlasta, 6a 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.

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.

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.

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.
