THE FROZEN WELL OF KIRKWOOD Notes Appropriate to the Senson of I'amily Keiinioiis.-Tlie Susquc liniimi Shops Arc Hutlicil with Work. .More Cold Discovered Oyer in 1 n y lie I'o u lit y. Speein! Correspondence to The Tribune. Susquchannn, Aug. 17. Yellow Jack ets made things hum at a Sunday Fer vlee and wedding In the little red t-chool house, seven miles from here, last wt'i'l:,. Once a month the Kev.Ab ncr Moon, an aged clergyman, drives over to Gulf Summit, to preach to the fanners and lumbermen. The congre gation was larger than usual on Sun day, It having been noised abroad that a popular young couple of the vicinity eie to be man led at the close of tho tervlce. Elder Moon always makes his homo with the family of Farmer Croz icr, at the Summit, and before going to tho school house to begin the service, Mrs. Crozlcr. with n womanly regard for the eterunl fitness of things, sug gested that, inasmuch as there was to be a marriage ceremony, the good man ought to exchange his soft lint for a tile. The elder thought so, too, but said he had none with him. Mrs. Croz iei left the room, but soon triumphant ly returned, bearing an ancient beaver belonging to her husband. It was a veteran of several campaigns, and had l.ten in the garret for a year or so. It lltted the older nicely, and he started for the school house. There he found the prospective bride and bridegroom, occupying front seats, and an expect ant congregation tilling the little build ing. Somehow, the service passed off listlessly. The graphic story of Jonah nnd the whale fell upon 'unheeding cars. The appetite of the congregation was whetted to witness the wedding. The sermon was finished, the choir had sang a hymn, and the elder had' Just nsked for a liberal collection in aid of the suffering Armenians. Farmer liloodgood usually took up the collec tion, and, reaching over the preacher's desk, he grasped the elder's borrowed beaver. In a second, or less, there emerged from the hat scores of active, aggressive yellow Jacket bees. Several of them attacked the elder's bald head, and, with a cry of pain, he leaped out of the window and sought a nearby brook. Farmer liloodgood cried to the congregation to be seated and be dis missed In order, but the bees were rais ing lumps on saint and sinner, and In three minutes the little school house was deserted, except by the bees. Far-' mer Bloodgood found the elder In a ra lne, applying damp clay to his swol len scalp. Then thoy made a close In spection of the tile, and discovered a snug little bee's nest, made in the darksome recesses of the garret. Strangely enough, the bees suffered themselves to be carried to church without piotest,. They were in the top oi i ue int. which was not disturbed by the elder whin he put on and took off tho beaver. 3ut when the coin began to drop In, It rou3d the yellow jackets to a vigorous resistance. By night the rider had recovered Bulliclently tc bo nbl to perform- the marriage cere mony at the heme of Farmer Crozler. There was no evening service In the lit ' tie red school hous-e. The suffering Armenians will be compelled to suffer until tho next monthly service. 1 CAUGHT AS THEY FLY. In Great Bend, on Saturday after ncun, the Susquehannae defeated the homo team, 13 to 9.

Calculate the vast saving In Bhoe lcatherl The worst thing about holl will prob ably bo Its political tinge New York Press. That's comforting! A good many of us have been worrying about tho climate and the society. 1 Friday's New York Press said: "One hundred hangers-on about the Bowery will go to Cooperstown by boat today." Not being located on the line of a canal, the stent of canal boats coming overland Into staid old Cooperstown will be a novel one, to say the least. KAILItOAD PLOATLETS. New locomotive 1116, Just out of the Erie shop, and East bound express train No. 4 collided on a switch at the Cascade on Monday morning. Both lo comotives were badly damaged. The Erie brought over BOO excursion ists from Elm Ira, and Intermediate points on tho Susquehanna Division, to Riverside Park, Lanesboro, on Sunday.

Between Great Bend and Kirkwood there is a well locally known as "the well of frozen air." In digging the well for water a strata of frozen clay was encountered at a depth of 55 feet. After passing through live feet of this, numerous cavities were encountered through which the cold air came in gusts. The escape of the air from the well could be heard roaring for two hundred yards. The air which comes from the subterranean depths Is so frigid that It Is not possible for one to Hold his hand over the opening for more than two minutes without having It frozen. A bucket of water set over the opening will freeze through within a few hours. The work on the well was abandoned as soon as the cavities of frozen air were tapped. THE SHORT OF IT.
