ABOSS WATERS GOOD LUCK.
tDenver News.1

There used to be man around here
particularly around the theatre
named Keen. He was boss of the di-
nng-room boys at the Broadwell House.
and belonged to one of the hose COM
panies. He Joined a local dramatic
club. and played old man parts in sew
eral performances, and had the stage
fever bad. In those days Keen looked
little seedy, but he never forgot that
he was gentleman, and his chums
used to hint that his folks were very
rich. Well Keen got money enough to
take him away, and now it transpires
that his father, a widely-known and
successful hotel-keeper, died in Louis
vile, Ky, the other day, bequeathing
this same boy the snug fortune of $780,.
600. If Keen will come back here now
we will guarantee that he will have
more friends than he had before.

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY IN COOP
ER COUNTY.

We find the following in the Bunceton
of the St. Louis Repub-
lican. December 1st.
Last Saturday, as citizen of this
vicinity was blasting in the rock quarry
just across the railroad, south of Bunce-
ton, Mr.. Baldwin, the quarryman's name,
put in big blast and touched it off. and
although the blast went off, on ex-
amining the place he found that the
tamping of the blast was still there, and
to all appearances it had not gone off.
AS the report was SO different from any
he had ever heard, consisting of a rum
bling continuous noise that seemed to
come from in the ground. he was quite
mystified. His perplexity was increased
when a negro woman. who was washing
ut a spring at the foot of the hill came
tearing round the quarry saying in ac-
cents of widest terror that Hell was
bilin' right outen dat spring, for she
seed de smoke and smelt de sulphur,
whar close" She declared she heared
him ''in dar'' rumbling and stumbling
about. A crowd Of the curious soon
place suggested cave. Another hole
was hurriedly drilled. The drill at last,
after going through eighteen inches OF
rock, slipped out of the hand of the
workman and was distinctly heard to
fall on the floor of this sub-terraneous
cavern soon to be disclosed to view. In
the meanwhile the spring had been ex-
amined and where it came out of the
rock it was found it had worn a fissure
in the rock of nearly the dimension OF
two feet by one. Excitement was by
this time at fever heat and a party COM
menced to work their way into the
cavern from the spring, while party OF
adventurous boys went to work on top,
determined to be the first in the cave.
About night they succeeded, and one by
one, after being duly prepared with Ian
terms, were let down into the cave by a
rope. On reaching tie bottom they
found themselves in an irregularly
shaped room about one hundred ant
eighty feet long, and from twenty te
ninety feet wide, with arches that reach.
ed upwards to the height of forty feet, 8

were all the time exploring its mysteri
GUS heighths and depths, and rooms, ant
after wandering over mile and going
as they estimated, at least thousant
feet due south, they returned and statet
that there remained rooms still unex
plored. l am preparing with few
friends to spend a week in it, commen

The sPowers Of Hell at Work
 Against the Texas Pacific RaiI-
 rOad--Hard Times.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-David Felsenheld, of San Diego, of the Executive Committee, of Thir- teen, appointed by the National Convention at St. Louis, is now in this city for the Winter, to aid Ex-Governor Brown. OfTennesse, the newly appointed Vice Presi- dent of the Texas Pacific, in out side management movements in behalf of that enterprse. A full lobby of the Union and Central monopoly to operate against the bill in aid of competing line, has not yet appeared in Washington: Jay Gould being sick and probably not deeming it worth while to commence the fight before the enemy appears in force. The Union Pacific has as yet no re- eognized lobby representatives in the field. Huntington. Vice. President of the Central Pacific. has been in Washington since the opening of the session, hard at work against the Texas Pacific.
 Financial and commercial affairs present few point ofinterest. The markets have been remarkably tranquil during the last week, with rather more than usual uni formity of prices. The amount of business in the great necessaries of life has rarely ever been so nearly restricted to the actual wants of consumers as at present.
 The times are very hard and everything moves accordingly.

Committees.
 WASHINGTON, December 20.- In the House of Representatives to-day, the Speaker announced the Standing Committees. The Committee on Pacific Railroads constituted as follows: L. O. c. Lamar of Mississippi, Chairman; J. D.. c, Atkins, of Tennessee; John K. Luttrell, of California;; Gilbert c. Walker, of Virginia; Wm. P. Snyder, of Wisconsin; J. w. Throckmorton, of Texas; Phil ip F. Thomas, of Maryland; John F. Phillips, of Missouri; James A. Garfield, of Ohio; James A. Kas- son, of Iowa; Thomas c. Platt, of New York; Charles O'Neill, of Pennsylvania; and Henry W. Blair, of New Hampshire. The last five are Republicans. The Committee on Way and Means comprises, Republicans - Wood, Mercy, Hancock, Thomas, Hill, Chapen, Tucker, Blaine, Kelly, Garfield and Burchard. The name of Representative Wigginton. of California, does not appear on any committee.
 Prospects of the Texasand Pacific
 Bill fin Congress.
 WASHINGTON, December o. Thre is almost universal dissatis- faction with the Speakers Com mittee Selections. Discontent is heard in marked degree from the California Delegation. Piper's appointment on the Cimlnittee Of Commerce, and Luttrelrs on the Pacific Railroad are acceptable, but WiggintOn's on Territories and Pages on Indian Affairs, are not considered suitable. Luttrell by length of service was entitled to the Craftsmanship of some committee, and wanted also to be on the Naval or Indian Affairs. Scott's friends claim that the Paci- fic Railroad Committee is strongly in favor of the Texas Pacific pro- ject. Chairman Lamar and Messrs Throckmorton and O'Neill voted against Holman's anti,subsidy re- solution. Walker, of Virginia, who refrained from voting on this re- solution is known to be in favor of Scott's Bill and the same thing is considered certain of Atkins and Platt, who also lodged the vote. Philips, of Missouri, who voted for Holman's resolution, is like. wise considered quite certain to vote for the Texas Pacific Bill. Of the House Committee on Rail- roads, the Chairman, Lamar, voted last year to suspend the rules in order to put Scott's Bill on its passage. ONeill is Scott's Phila- delphia representative. Throck- morton left the Texas Pacific Con- pany's service to come to Con- gress. Walker is author of an elaborate paper advocating Scott's project. Atkins, of Tennessee and constituents, expect a connecting branch of the road. Representa- tive Cox says it is now no secret that the Texas Pacific Railroad | interests had something to do with the formation of the Com- mittee.
