Before the war the late d. /. Wells, the
celebrated matchmaker of Bolivar, made a
Masonic keystone for Col. J. NJ. McRee,

costly gold treasure bore on one face the
following inscription: ~. N. McRee, Wilson
Chapter No. 3, Holly Springs, Miss, June
20, A. L. 5S47;" on the other side in circle
the letters: "H. I. W. S. ST. Z. S." inside
the circle the square and compass, and IL
side the square and compass his MARI, Joined
hands under naked heart. Mr.. Haslett, Of
Pittsburg, Pa, having the treasure in his
possession advertised it in the Masonic
Jewel of Memphis, and Mr.. Collins, Of
jackson, seeing the notice wrote and re-
ceivcd the following reply:

On the one hand the other powers could not

Florida who is unable to come to Washington
and testify, a subcommittee need not 90
down there to take his evidence, that one man

met with but little favor and it can hardly be
doubted that subcommittee Of three mem

any single commissioner. Mr.. McMahon will

AsHEvILLH N. c., May 20-Two years ago,
residents OF this section of the famous Bald
Mountain were thrown into great consterna-
ton by continual rumblings and nexplicable
noises heard in the bowels of the immense
mountain: The phenomena attracted the at

country The rumblings lasted for about two
W weeks sRs and then CEASED They had the effect
hood, that had been valuable almost worth
less, and the inhabitants hastened to move
from the neighborhood of the mysterious
mountain. Last Friday night the noises be-
gan again; the mountain shook as In the
throes OF an earthquake; immense trees and
rocks were hurled down the mountain side.
and sounds like intermittent thunder were
heard during the night. This morning those
VINO yentured near saw that the mountain
had been literally split in twain, leaving a
chasm OF 300 feet in length and from 8 to 10
feet In width. So far as has been ascertained.
the Ghasm is a bottomless abyss. AS yet no
smoke or lava has been thrown from the
strong smell Of sulphur about the place.

Texas and Southern Pacific Railroads

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator johnson, of
Virginia. delivered an important argument
yesterday before the Senate Committee on
Railroads on the bill introduced by him,
granting aid to extend the Texas Pacific and
the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
ines ls to Ei Pas9, there to connect with the
to the Colorado river, 72o miles east Of San
Francisco; also, in aid Of connecting roads
east from El Paso to New Orleans, Vicks-
burg and Memphis; placing all these roads
under government control, and requiring
them to prorate with each other, and be-
operated as one through, continuous
line; The Senator advocated his bill
as the only practicable measure to secure a
true southern line between the Pacific and the
lower Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico.
II II skirts skirts for 600 miles the northern line Of
h Mexico, and would Of itself end the existing
border troubles that now seem interminabIe'

The special convention, at which eighteen

the whole Mississippi river system. The
commission is to take into consideration
