TON KELLY,S CAVE.

There is shade of romance connected
with another lead cave which I visited
There poor old Tom Kelly lived and died !;
poor, though rich. Tom was an uneduca-
ted lrishman, and when he discovered his
cave kept the fact to himself. He smelted
his own ore and carried his lead down to
the river bank secretly, until he had hid
den In the bank about $4,000 worth of
lead. This he shipped and went with it
down the river, reshipping it at New
Orleans and going with it to New York,
where ne sold it, taking his pay in gold.
Perhaps the, gold was heavier than the
lead. At all events poor Tom sat down
with his money-bags to rest, and as he
was dirty looking old fellow, some boys
collected around him and began poking
fun at him. A great fear seized Tom-a
fear for his money bags. He snatched
them up and started to run for the dock
where his boat was lying. The boys fol-
lowing, hooting. Tom stumbled and fell.
One of the boys, ahead of the rest, came
upon him. Tom drew knife and stab
bed the boy through tie heart. At the
trial which ensued it was shown that Tom
Kelly was more than half crazed, and he
was acquitted, but kept in confinement as
lunatlc. Here his instincts as miner
stood him in good stead he burrowed out
and escaped Before long, Tom was at
work IN his mine again. He built himself
stone house, where each window was an
embrasure, pointing out of which was fixed
loaded musket, and the only man who
ever got enough into Toms confidence to
examine the house, said that there was
also fixed musket guarding the doorway.
He told this person that he was having an
iron house made for himself that he
thought would be much more secure. In
general it was but little, and only to mere
children, that Tom ever spoke. And
there came day, some two wears ago,
when Tom found it, necessary to prepare
to go to house where he is likely to be
permanently safe. Two brothers, almost
as uncouth as Tom himself, came lowering
about the dying man. He asked the priest
to bring a lawyer; and when this was
effected, said: at you will send them out"
pointing to his brothers, 81 will tell ALL"
But the brothers would not go out of the
house, and Tom died as mute as he had
lived. Application to the proper authori-
ties in New York recovered Toms gold
which he had been too much frightened to
apply for after his escape The brothers
leftnot one stone of the house upon an
other, and they found about $4,000 in
gold hidden in and around it. Out of
Toms cave, they took, in addition, it is
believed, ore to value of not less than
100000. They divided their treasures
as they found gold or solid ore, by. dealing
out coin or bills as if they were cards at
poker, one to each alternately. What
there is left of Tom Kelly's real estate
looks like the debris of an earthquake
