A gigantic ancient well has just been
found in the middle of the Place of St.
Mark, Venice. It was evidently sunk
in the fifteenth century, and is choked
up by immense masses of sand which
have drifted in from the sand heaDS on
the Lido.
The amount expended up to date on
the Panama canal is $177,910,000, and
it is estimated that it will require $230,-
000,000 and four years more labor for
its completion. The figures are a trifle
larger than those used in the ordinary
object lesson.
There is said to be a great deal'
want among the German population of
Paris. It appears that the German Aid
B ociety there has in the course of a few
years sent back to Germany nearly 0000
persons who could not earn a livelihood
in the French capital.
The Louisville Courier-Journal says
that “with half a million dollars repre
sented in a single dog show this country
has no reason to be discouraged.
Twenty years from now we shall bo
worth many millions in dogs, though
wo may possibly lose a few sheep.’*
The duke of Sutherland has become
so impoverished by the agriculture de
pression in England and Scotland that he
contemplates selling Stafford house, the
wonderful mansion, which, when Q iaen
Victoria entered, struck her a 3 being so
magnificent that she said to the duke,
“I came from my house to your palace.”
The London Printing Times reports a
rather peculiar fraud upon the French
customs. Printed papers pay no duty
in the “Grande Republique,” so certain
manufacturers print just a narrow line
upon the extreme edge of the sheets,
and import the same duty free. Oace
over the border, the edge is trimmed
off, and the sheet reappears in pristine
purity, though of smaller size.
A petroleum pipe line is about to bo
laid in Russia that will connect the
Caspian and Black Seas. The lino will
fork on the Black Sea end. Its capacity
is to be 1,200,000 gallons daily. Tho
company is to pay the Government a
royalty of one-third of a cent for every
five gallons. The capital invested is
$10,500,000, and tho entire property
after sixty years is to go to the Crown.
On tho return voyage from England
of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show he
lost his famous old horse Charlie just
before entering the New York harbor.
The old horse came into the scout’s pos
session twenty years ago. When he
died he was wrapped in an American flag
and was buried in the sea. Tho scout,
with his company around him, deliv
ered a little funeral oration, in the
course of which he said: “Charlie, but
for your willing speed and tireless cour
age I would havo lain as low as you are
now and my Indian foe have claimed
you for his slave. Yet you have never
failed me, Charlie, old fellow. I havo
had many friends, but very few of whom
I could siy that. Men tell me you had
no soul, but if there be a heaven and
scouts can inter there, I’ll wait at the
gate for you, old fellow.”
The Chicago Herald says that there
is one fact in regard to the records of
men prominent in public life which is a
perennial source of surprise to people
looking up those records, to wit: That
General Jo- ph R. Hawley, who usually
passes as a tvpj of New Englander, it
not of the ‘Connecticut Yankee,” is a
native of North Carolina. The only
representative in congress from a dis
trict east of the Alleghanias, who was
born west of them, is Luther F. McKin
ney of New Hampshire. The states
west of the Mississippi havo sixty mem
ber.?, and of these forty-r.iac were born
cast of the Mississippi. Of the eleven
representatives of lowa, not one was
born in the state. Texas, with eleven
members, has but one native-born rep
resentative, and California, with six,
has but one who is not a native of the
state.

was the eighth suicide in that city within
four weeks. They have occurred two per

a hissing noise to represent the escaping

‘‘WHITE CAPS” SHOT.
“White Caps” in Crawford county,
Ind., whipped two women nearly to
death —one will probably die—and then
proceeded to the house of a reputable
citizen in the neighborhood and ordered
him to spread the news of their doings
as their warning. The plans of the
“White Caps” had been overheard, and
the citizen had three friends with him.
He accordingly refused to do the bidding
of the “White Caps,” and was threat
ened by them. A fight ensued, in which
three of the “White Caps” were shot, two
of them fatally. One of these is named
Gregory, a country merchant, aged fifty
years, with a family of grown children.
Another is a saloon keeper named Saun
ders, a worthless fellow. The wounded
men have been hidden away, and the
country is uu in arms on a hunt for them.

owned by the city. The Lovell Manu
facturing company, of book printers and
binders occupied a wide gallery around
the hall fifteen feet from the floor. In
this gallery were five heavy folding ma
chines and tons upon tons of printed
matter. The gallery was supported by
wooden uprights resting on the floor of
the hall. Under this hung heavy iron
pipes in stock. On Wednesday the dou
ble strain leached its breaking point and
the northeast pait of the gallery fell.
The five folding machines carried down

building at the time.
RUSHING FOR LIBERTY.
A plot for the escape of four hundred
convicts at Piatt Mines, Ala., was dis
covered several days ago, but the prison
officials kept the matter so quiet that the
facts only leaked out on Wednesday. At
slope No. 1, about four of the seven hun
dred convicts are confined, and there is
only one entrance into the mine at that
place. It seems that one of the veins or
leads at this slope has been worked until
it was within a lew hundred feet of the
surface on the other side of the mountain.
Some of the older convicts some time ago
conceived a plan to dig out of the mine.
Others were let into the plot, and the
convicts would work turns on their tun
nel after completing their day’s task of
mining. The number into the plot was
increased, until nearly all of the four
hundred convicts working in the slope
knew about it, and aided iu the work.
Saturday, it is said, wa9 the day set
apart to force the tunnel through the
mountain and escape. After all the con
victs had entered the slope that morning,
the entrance was blocked on the inside,
and then they began to dig for liberty,
the tunnel lacking only a few feet of
completion, but the plot had been be
trayed. and the guards were ou the look
out. The obstruction at the mouth of
the slope was removed and the convicts
were driven away from their tunnel, and
forced to return to work. The ring
leaders were punished, and every pre
caution has been taked to prevent an es
cape by the tunnel route. Only three
iuonths ago five convicts escaped from
Coalburg mines, by the same means, and
only two of them were recaptured.
COTTON.
The New Y’ork Financial Chronicle, in
its weekly review of the cotton move
ment, says that the total receipts since
the first of September, 1887, 5,488,937
bales, against 5,204,670 bales for the
same period of 1886-7, shows an increase
since September 1, 1887, of 284,258
bales. The exports for the w r eek reached a
total of 27,285 bales, of which 14,819 were
for Great Britain, 7,218 for France and
2,238 to the rest of the continent. The
total sales for forward delivery for the
week are 330,400 bales. For immediate
delivery the total sales foot up 6,406
bales, including 3,430 for export, 2,976
for consumption. The imports into con
tinental ports have been 18,000 bales.
There is a decrease in the cotton in sight
of 315,282 bales as compared with the
same date of 1887, a decrease of 239,283
bales as compared with the corresponding
date of 1886 and a decrease of 278,735
bales as compared with 1885. The old
interior stocks have decreased during the
week 3,286 bales, and are 5,113 bales
more than at the same period last year.
The receipts at the same towns have been
2,037 bales more than the same week last
year, and since September 1 the receipts
at all the towns are 111,204 more
than for the same time in 1886-7.
RECOVERED.
Gen. Boulanger drove in the Bois du

florins were found in their possession.
Other agents have been arrested at Brody
and Czeinowilz.
The Well of Blood at Cawnpoor.
We gave a day to Cawnpoor, thirty
miles further on. This is city of 140,-
000 souls, has a large native leather in
dustry and some fine rice mills, and a
jute manufactory which was very in
teresting. We drove over the vast mili
tary" cantonment, admired its comfort
tide officers’ bungalows and its line of
large two story barracks, arranged en
echelon on one side of the great parade
ground. Here the fury of the mutiny
was unrelenting, and the tiger-like heart
of Nana Sahib had an opportunity to ex
hibit its ferocious quality. I stood by
the monument which covers the great
well into which lie hurled 700 men, wo
men and children—unoffending, non
combatants, butchered in cold blood—
and many thrown in while yet alive:
some of the children as yet unhurt. I
hen ceased to wonder at the bitter feel
ing so many English here have for the
natives. The memory of the butcheries
of ’57 is y r et- fresh in their hearts. A
solossal winged augel in pure white
stands over the spot and in marble
beauty looks down with touching pity,
which every one must feel who recalls
Ihe horrible massacre. From Cawnpoor
to Agra is about one hundred and seven
miles. We travelled it by night, ar
rived here this morning, and now I
will close by saying I' have seen the
