There are a number of old wells near King’s highway. located rned were living on the site of the old race track, and it would seem that these need look ing after badly, for as Mrs. Reissig was following the beaten path she suddenly found — herself through the mouth of + that was partly conceale:t_ by debris An instant later she struck the cold water over 20 fect below, and, ehill ed to the bone, grasped a log that floated falling great hole However helpless the brave woman did not lose heart. She re- alized that the neighborhood was almost entirely deserted, that no one could hear her cries for help from her position at the well-bottom, and surface situation, its her on that death, solitary and fearful, seemed well-nigh certain. Never- theless, she made an effort to clamb erupthe steep and slippery walls, gaining such hold as was afforded by projections and depressions in the cement. But her wet — clothes weighed her down and she fell back, whereupon she stripped herself of her outer garments and heavy gar- ments and heavy overshoes, and made another desperate struggle for life. Again and again she clamber- ed nearly to the brink, on!y to lose her hold and find herself growing weaker, while the blood stream- ed from her hands and the icy water chilled her through and through. For four hours—from 10 o'clock in the morning to 2 in the afternoon—she alternately rested and strove to reach the world above. The seventh ascent found her with her head well above the brink, but she could not contrive to drag her self out on the ground. There was 2 frame house about 100 yards dis tant, and when the despairing wom- an shouted for help, her cries brought an old woman to the spot. Too weak to lend more valuable aid, the woman left in search of help. The first man she addressed would not believe her story, thinking her demented, and when assistance came at last Mrs. Reissig had managed to eseape from the pit. She fainted with her last exertion, but recover- ing herself, crawled on her hands and knees through the snow to the frame house. There her would be rescuers finally found her and con- veyed her home, where she is rest ing vow, afflicted with chills and bearing tangible marks of her heroic straggle.—St. Louis Republic.

Poison in a Cap. Sioux City, Ia., Feb. 21.—Shortly after the Morning side school,taught by Miss Conniff, was called yester- day a peculiar odor was noticed and a fur cap belonging to one of the the boys was found to have fallen into a bucket containing hot ashes and was sending out clouds of smoke. The teacher seized the bucket and _start- ed for the door but when half way across the room was overcome by the fumes ard dropped into the near- est seat almost unconscious. Aboy then took the bucket but at once succumbed and fell to the floor. Twenty of the pupils who sat where the smoke reached them were made deathly sick by the fumes Another managed to get the door oyen and the fresh air revived her so that she helped the children out of doors where they laid on the ground in agony. The people living near by brought fresh milk and made the children drink freely of it. Atthe end of three hours all had recovered suf- ficiently to be taken home but were very weak. It is supposed that the poison was contained in the coloring matter of the cap and that it was set free by the burning.

The charge against the prince is grand larceny. Six weeks ago the prince obtained asealskin overcoat from August T. Rockwell valued at $500. The coat was to be paid for on the 15th. In- stead De Gourke pawned the coat for $100 in a Sixth avenue pawn shop. Upon searching the room of the prince a number of pawn tickets representing clothing and jewelry were found. This is the prince who followed Mrs. Frank Leslie about London and wanted her to marry him. It is said that he was arrested several times in London on charges of de frauding his creditors. Shot at Silver City. El Paso, Tex., Feb. 20.—To-day Miss Ada Hume, known as the “Ter- ritorial Nightingale,” shot and mor- tally wounded Jack Brown, the re- tired border scout, at Silver City, N.M. The woman, until lately, sang in the leading elub-rooms of El Paso, but was induced to leave by a big offer from Brown, who has been conducting a saloon and sport- ing-house and place of amusement in the town named. The shooting occured over a business misunder- standing. Brown was well connect- ed at Galveston and his relatives have been notified.

It is probable that President Cleveland has never crossed the threshold of more than two Wash- ington homes outside the Cabinet circle. In other words he has not seen the interior of 10 residences in Washington. He seen Congress at work, and Iam assured that in four years he has not once entered a department building. The Treasury, State, Navy, War and Attorney General's Departments are all within a stone's throw of the White House, but Mr. Cleveland opened their doors. Mr. leveland never walked upon Penn- sylvania avenue as Grant was in the habit of doing, and surely he never took a drink across a bar as Bucha- nan didmore than once.
