ARTESIAN WELLS.
The ripfrlmfnn In rhllndelphln-Vhe Earliest
and Latent Attempts at this Mean of Wup
rlln Water.
The question of supplying water by the means of
artesian wells has been agitated fur years past by
the larger portion of our manufacturers who are
anxious to have the supply of the aqueous element
necessary for their purposes under their own con
trol. As yet, there nave been less than a dozen of
these well-commenced In this city, but the success
attendant In the case of a majority of them serves
an an incentive to the owners of other large esta
blishments to start their construction.
The tlrst attempt to obtain a supply of water by
th's means was In 1S30, when the Idea was con
reived that tho old district of Northern Liberties
could tie relieved of the unsightly pumps, and In
addition the citizens be placed In security against
the occasion of the drying up of Pcgg s Kun, which
roursed through tho district. The site of the new
well was on the Rotithern side of "Old commis
sioners' Hall,'' which stood on Third street, near But
tonwood. Tho bore was sunk to the depth of isoo
ieit, and proved a decided failure. But in verifica
tion of the adage, "There's no great evil but brings
a liitle good," the well was discovered to be a very
f ycd receptacle for sewage matter, and, to the sur
Kieof many, it never tilled up; and the story was
iuitc common among tu; youth of the Northern
l.itieitif's that the well had no bottom, but had been
bored right through to China,
The latest attempt, and it Is still in opera'ion, Is
the well whlcl Is being bored at the Hansom street
front of the Continental Hotel. It, has reached the
depth of l.':i feet, 45 feet of which Is through the
gravel and clay superstratum aud the balance
through black mica or gneiss rock, with Assures of
from nix to eight inches. On the nth of October tho
well was tubed and tcBted, when at a depth of 115
feet it jielded from 25 to 40 gallons of water per
minute. The water is about !ia degrees colder than
livdrant water, an I is slightly tinged with sulphur.
The well Is eight inches in diameter, and will te
tubed with pipe lour inches inside diameter. It Is
Mie Intention to proceed to a depth of 2m feet, in
hopes of Improving the quantity aud quality of the
water.
The history of the other artesian wells In this city
is as lollows:
Several years ago Messrs. Flcken A- Williams, at
their tugur retluery on Crown street, near York
eiiite, commenced to sink a wx-il with a diameter
f lour inches. Alter reaching a depth of eighty
feet water was struck, but on account of Its chemi
cal qualities, being quite strongly Impregnated with
iron, work was stopped. 'J lie w ater Is used only in
canes of emergency. Itstemperaturein midsummer
is iKtwcen 67 and degrees. Kirly lust gammer
the lirm commenced to sink another weil on a more
xtt nsive scale, la about sixty days water was
struck at a depth of two hundred feet. The last
test made of this well gave It a capacity of one hun
dred and fifty gallons per minute. The bore Is now
being cleared ol sand and stones, a?d as soon as
this debris is removed another test wit! be made,
which will, it is thought, show a greater capacity.
The water Is exceedingly soft, is slightly chalybeate
in character, which the contractor attributes to the
Tiew Iron pipe which has been put down the well.
Pur the flrnt hundred feet the well has a diameter
if twelve Inches. The balance of the depth Is eight
itches. Stone was struck at a depth of fifty feet.
Various strata of rock, some of exceeding hardness,
were drilled. The last twenty feet were worked
through porous stone.
At the uigar retluery of (Jlllesnie & Co., St. John
etreet, below Callowlillt, there is an artesian well Gi
U tt in depth. The bore Is 12 inches, and capacity
1 iS gallons per miuute. No rock was drilled through,
the bore striking a bed of gravel where water was
fem ml. There are slight traces of Iron and sulphur
in the water, aud on this account It Is solely used for
ci ndcnsiiig purposes. Its temperature Is 62 degrees.
At Harris, Heyl ,t Co.'s sugar re 11 aery, lieaeil,
above Noble, there are two wells of the same pro
portions within four feet of each other. The depth
Is 4'Jjtf feet, diameter 12 inches, and capacity from
to Kit) gallons per minute. The water here Is
slulitly Impregnated with iron, and Is used for con
densing purposes.
At .lujne A Co. 'a drug establishment a well was
funk to the depth of 105 feet, at the time nf the
linishir.g of the I'ost otllee building on Home street.
Its diameter Is is Inches all the way down. At the
depth mentioned a hard rock was encountered, and
the undertaking was then abandoned, after a con
siderable amount of money hid been sunk with it.
The water from it supplies the boilers, but It is not
used for drinking purposes. The capacity of the
well is not known.

cif the trustees of West Arch to open the doors of
their magnificent teinpie for legitimate purposes
other than the preaching of theOospei. Dr. WUlitB'
lecture last night contained the pure gospel through

It may be an Interesting fact for our readers to
know that over one-third of the present police force
are performing duty, at least drawing pay therefor
from the City Treasury, without the confirmation
of Se'cct Council, which Is rendered necessary by
the law, and many of these appointments were
made during the early (lavs of the reign of Mayor
Kox. This latter fact Indue sd the presentation
In Select Council a couple of weeks since of a reso

Charalier the names of all policemen which had not
hitherto been submitted. At the last meeting the mes
sage of the Mavor was presuted. and the names, a
total of 2so out of 799, upon which warrants have been
issued monthly. Ab will be seen In the tble below,
in some of the districts over one-half are still with

Nokfolk, Va., Nov. 2. A large crowd of
whites and blacks collected before the City Hall
last night to hear political addresses from Hon.
George M. Robeson, Secretary of the Navy, and
Jlon. James II. Piatt, member of Congress from
this district and candidate for re-election; ex-
Governor Wells, of Virginia; Professor Lang
ston (negro), of Howard University, Washing
ton, and others. Ex-Mayor Frank de Cordy was
elected chairman.
After Governor Wells and Secretary Robeson
had addressed the crowd, and while Professor
Lang6ton was Bpeaking, the meeting was inter
rupted by a disturbance in the crowd, which
eoon increased in violence and extent until Ore
arms were very freely used, and several volleys
from small arms were fired in rapid succession.
At the commencement of the flriug the crowd
broke in wild disorder, scattering in every
direction. The police attempted to quell the
disturbance, but owing to their small force were
unable to accomplish much.
After the crowd had dispersed it was found
that no one had been killed, but many whites
and blacks had been wounded. Among the
seriously wounded was John T. Daniel, a well-
known white citizen of this city, and a leading
Republican, who occupied a position on the
speaker s stand. lis was wounded in the head
by a bullet. This morning a negro, badly cut,
was found dead in an alley a few squares from
the scene of lost night's row.

A Wo tn no Burned to Death.
Hartford, Nov. 2 Early this morning a
fire broke out in the attic of Mrs. Cornish's
boarding-house, on Church street. There were
two sleeping rooms in the attic, one occupied
by a cook and chambermaid, and the other by
Mies Rose Hill, a boarder. The cook rose before
4 o'clock and went down stairs, carrying a
lighted candle, and evidently Bet something on
fire in the attic.
Soon after she had gone down stairs Miss Hill
awoke and found the Led in a blaze. She
ruthed to the window, shrieked for help, and
jumped out, striking, on a roof about fifteen feet
below, and rolled off into a narrow space to the
ground between two buildings. She received
severe through not necessarily fatal injuries.
The chambermaid, Lizzie Hennessey, aged 18
years, was found in the floor of her room
smothered to death. ,

llcrr AVickede wrlteB to the Cologne ttzrtt:-".K
high Prussian (ieneral recently told nie that ho had
begged the King of Prussia at Uommercy to grant
him a squadron of cavalry for service in the chief
town of his government. The King laughingly re
plied. 'My dear General, you must apply there,'
pointing to Woltke, 'he alone disposes of all our
troops, and I ought to be glad if he only leaves me
my body guard.' His answer, I think, is
equally honorable for both for our King, in
that he recognizes Moltke's strategic genius
so jovfully, and willingly defers to him;
for the latter, in tnat he publicly
receives such a recognition of his worth out ot the
mouth of his King and master. The genuine mili
tary spirit of all the Prussian troops Is astonishing.
A few days ago I was with Prussian oilicers of all
kinds, two belonging to the line and nine to tne
Lnndwchr. The various provinces of Prussia were
represented. Two were bcIoub of the strict Cathjitc
aud exclusive Westphallan nobility, others mer
chanta and yonng lawyers from Berlin, fanners
from Pomeranla, a manufacturer from Sclilesvvig,
an architect from Cologne, etc. Alltliese men are
so dlilerent in their social habits, their political
and religious views, their friendships and null lo
tions, that in time of peaoe they certainly would not
come much in contact, and would regard each other
with Indifference, and occasionally with animosity.
I'mt all these differences disappear as soon as they
have donned the ofllcer's uniform, and are under
arms as the King of Prussia's dicers. Their only
thought then is of doing honor to their position, and
they sre impressed by the most thorough tir;t te
cotpn. Their common wish is to tight for the
honor of the Prussian flag to conquer, and, if it
is (lod's will, cheerfully to die; and this animates
them all In equal measure. Am mg tho I.andwchr,
the very men who at home over their beer aud In
popular assemblies loudly applaud the communistic
and democratic orators, tire now, when they wear
the uniform, obedient soldiers, showing the greatest
reBpecttothe youngct oilloers, and bewaring, of
the slightest insubordination."
The Uueen of Prnnula Kn Ronte Tor llomburir
Uecrpiloa at Frankfort.
Writing from Krankfort-on-the-Maln, on October
11, the London Daily .Venn' correspondent says:
"This morning, at 9 o'clock, the Queen of Prussia
passed through Frankfort on her way to Homburg.
it 1b one of the results of the war that the move
ments and doings of this lady attract an attention
widen was not formerly accorded to them. Sae left
Ilerlin and returned thither almost without any notice
being taken of her Journey Ings. Public attention
seemed to be exclusively concentrated on the move
ments of the King. The royal pair were seldom
togttlier. It appeared as if they had agreed not
to make too open a parade of their fondness for each
other. But the war has changed all that. As the
lirst recipient of telegrams announcing victories,
the Queen has suddenly become an lTiportaut per
sonage In the estimation of the German public. The
language of more than one of the telegrams has been
exceedingly allectionate, and thus the public has
had its attention formally drawn to the cordiality of
the relations between the royal pair. Probably It is a
new sensation for the (juccu to have suddenly be
come the centre of attraction, aud without auy
special exertion on her part to acquire
a species of popularity. It may be
that the war will conduce to promote
unity in royal circles, as well as to render Germany
united. At the Fra-ikfort station the (jueeu of
l'rushla was received by the military authorities and
by the Chief of the Police. When distinguished
persons travel in Oermany, it Is expected that the
police should assemble to do them honor. The
civil authorities Keep in the background. One
advantage of this is that irrepressible mayors are
debarred from tormenting distinguished visitors
with what are called loyal addresses, but what are
owing to the enormous numbers of princes ana
princesses with wtilch Germany is tilled, the
sight of these highly-titled persons is an
every-day pleasure, and, like other
common pleasures, Is' deemed of small importance.
Had it not been for the circumstances already re
ferred to, the Queen of Prussia might have passed
through Frankfort, and have taken up her abode at
Homburg without auy formality being observed, and
without any sight-seers being attracted, But the
exceptional position she occupies for the present
bore fruit in a demonstration of the most marked
and loyal character. A large crowd assembled at
the railway station. Nearly every building in the
town was decked with flags. Fortunately for pic
turesque effect, the town, though Prussian, was not
exclusively adorned with the Prussian colors. A
controversy which is now agitating the
Ciermans had the effect of Intro
ducing variety into the flags hung
out on days of public rejoicings. The flag of the
Kingdom of Prussia is w hite and black, a flag ap
parently designed by or for an undertaker. The
Hag of the North German Confederation Is black,
white, and red. What la called tbe dag of Germany,
the flag designed by the revolutionary Parliament
whiohmet at Frankfort in 1S48, Is black, red, and
gold. It is held taat the latter Is the symbol of
United Germany, and that now that unity has been
virtually accomplished, the flag of Germany should
be adopted and displayed. Pending Its actual adop
tion it is displayed by patriots who have no special
admiraikn for the symbol nnder which Prussia
has fought aud conquered, annexed territory, and
acquired a reputation of a mixed kind. A few
months ago tbe Prussian police would have taken
summary measures against any one who, within
Prussian dominions, dared to hoist the flag of 1818.
liut i hey now tolerate that with which they fear to
meddle, In consequence of this, freedom theintin
streets of Hamburg looked very gay this forenoon.
The visit of the Queen is one due to medical con
siderations. She has been ordered to take the
mineral baths, and a bath fitted npln the most
luxurious style lias been prepared for her use. it
Is understood that she pays frequent visits to the
hospital."
Private Life of tbe Crewa Prlareaa.
The Otom Ouiftce takes the following account of
the life of tier Koyal Highness at Homburg from a
private letter: "Our Crown princess has now been
here for fonr weeks. Her sister, the Princess
Alice of Darmstadt, often comes with her children
to visit her. At Biich times the sight of the family
excursions from the old castle is very pleasant, as
there are then eleven children together, and they
are all very lively. Several ol them lately rode out
on donkeys, and two pushed a chaise from be
hind, which was drawn by two small
horses, and in which some ot the children were also
seated. The Crown Princess Is exceedingly simple
in her tastes and manners. JShe herself carries re
freshments In a basket to the patients In the i.aza
retb. Khe has had everything there arranged In the
most excellent manner. She has had the beds
covered with white sheets and coverlets, and neat
curtains pat up. By her order dowers are placed in
the rooms, and a conceit was given by the band of
tbe Kerhaus, on which occasion the wounded were
carried in their beds Into the court ol the barrauka.
bbe iihs caused several old servants of the old Eng
lish Marchioness to be summoned to visit her.
8 he has also visited the woundel Major
S. and the Laudrath, to the latter of
whom she intrusted presents for the
male and female attendants on the wounded,
with whom Bhe converses in a very friendly mauner.
Her youngest son is very like til handsome old
grandfather, tho King; it Is always a pleasure tn see
Dim, he is such a splendid child. The Crown Print-ess,
beyond all doubt, possesses a great deal of
energy, and she is fond of simplicity and good order.
The Fire Guard here desired to place a guard of
honor at the castle, but she refused the oiler with
thanks, fche arrived with her children in a carriage.
No one recognized or saluted her; a splendid en
trance had been expected, and she was past. She
has generally one of her children on her lap when
ahe drives out. It is no wonder ahe has gained all
hearts, especially those of the mothers, hhe has
also had an open band for tbe Inhabitants of buns
burg in their need ; many ol them who had ned are
now returning home."

The republic cannot fall if the people will
that it stand. Tbe Government has bent its
every cnersy to the task of defense. Efforts
have been made aud were still being made to

THE SAX FBASC1SCO Gin CONCERT.
HUtorr of the Enterprise.
The Mercantile Library Gift Concert of San
Francisco was authorized by the California
Legislature last i cortiary, and tickets were
sold, at first, at $ 5 each in gold, or 0 in cur
rency. The number issued was 200,000, and the
amount of the prizes $r00,000 in gold, the prizes
ranging from $100,000 to tl00 each, 628 in num
ber. The proceeds of the lottery are to be de
voted to the paying of the indebtedness of the
Mercantile Library Association. The enterprise
has had varying prospects of success,
at one time a suit for an injunction
againet its continuance, on the
ground that it was Immoral, having bceu brought,
and the drawing having been once postponed
from September 1 to October 31, because only
half the tickets were sold. The Bank of Cali
fornia, has, however, acted as Treasurer of the
affair, and it was believed that there would at
least be no ditboneMty nor trick about it; and la
consequence the sale of tickets during the past
two months has been rapid. A San Fran
cisco lirm took tho contract of advertising
and selling the tickets and paying all the
incidental expenses of the lottery, and were to
receite therefor S5125,000 which, if all the
tickets were sold, would leave 1375,000 far the
benefit of the Library Association. Sinco the
15th ult. the price of tickets has been gradually
raised by speculators. In San Francisco they
were sold, it is stated, at as high as $10 in gold
each. Here, the lateBt quotations were $325 ia
currency each, ond a large number of fifths
were sold at from $3 to $5 each.
Very elaborate arrangements were made to
insure perfect fairness In the drawings, $500
having been offered as a premium for the best
model of au apparatus for that purpose. Fif
teen different models were submitted to a board
of master mechanics. Tho two wheels adopted
for the drawings were very irigoulDtis contri
vances, being so arranged as to turn in every
conceivable way, thoroughly mixing the ttckcts,
and at the same time were so fitted with glass
that the spectators could see the tickets all the
time. All tho tickets having been sold, the
Library Association will realize, against the
protests of many of the more thoughtful aud
considerate members, $375,000.
In the pavilion at San Francisco In which the
drawing took placo at least 10,000 people were
congregated on Monday evening, and the streets
in front of the newspaper and telegraph offices
were crowded. A hundred or more prominent
citizens occupied places upon the stand, aud the
drawings were conducted quietly and rapidly,
occupying several hours.

Washington, Nov. 1. The President Is in quite a
state of excitement ovr the developments made by
