Imagine, then, the side of one of the
loftiest and steepest of the Blue Ridge
Mountains (the grade is about one in
thirty-fve) We are standing about
two-thirds of the way up; above US are
some large trees underground and a
patch or two of cleared land; below runs
the river. Starting from the river the
longest 6ssure measured 627 yards in
length, of different widths, never, how
ever, over three feet and in depth from
six feet to an unfathomable abyss of
darkness, whose depth never has and
never will be easily ascertained. A sec
ond crack of considerable size, starting
from point some distance further down
the river, joins crack No. at about two
thirds of its length, and by the union
forms semicircle.
awe must confess that at first sight
(probably through having read the ex-
aggerated and totally unreliable ac-
counts hitherto published) we were some
what disappointed, but after gazing into
the gloom of the great fissure we felt
awed by the mysterious and unaccount-
able division of the mountain, and Won
dered if sacrifice were offered, as in the
days of ancient Rome, would the earth
close again. Mr.. B. informed us that he
first noticed the large fissure after the
flood of 1877; that he has since observed
that it becomes more extensive after
every hard rain, and in answer to our
question as to whether he had ever felt
an earthquake or heard any subterranean
noises, he said, NO, it had always been
as quiet as it is now"

Improved Prospects i'm the Iron In
terest.

For some time past there has been q
very observable improvement in the de-
mand for iron, and especially for railway
supplies. The rolling mills and car and
locomotive builders are busy, most of
them having large orders ahead. This
is especially true of the mills engaged in
making steel rails, which are superseding
iron on most first-class roads.
The Pennsylvania Railway is appreci-
ably affected by this cheerful condition
of the great iron industries located along
its various lines, and the result has been
manifest in both its freight and passen-
ger business during the last few months.
1t is believed that the affect Will be still
more appreciable as spring opens, and
business channels feel the inspiring intu-
ence of re-established confidence and a
fixed standard of values.

About sixteen years ago Jonathan Weaver. of this
city, was cruelty murdered at Ocean Cottage. near
the beach, during drunken row. John Mccarthy.
now one of the leading business Of the city
arrested and tried for the offence but he
was acquitted. and up to the present time
the whole affair has been shrouded in
mystery. A sailor who had never heard Of
the murder now comes forward and states that
while recently at n seaport on the coast OF Peru he
visited o sick sailor, who rapidly approaching
his end. The dying man said to his friend that he
had something to communicate to him before 1t
too late. Ho had carried within his breast terrible
secret and had suffered untold mseries. He
prised his friend by informing him that he was
number of years ago. while at Newport.
II. l., in sailing vessel, he went
ashore and made his way to what he
had since learned was Ocean Cottage While crazod
with rum he got into an alteration and before he
knew what he about he drew q long black
man whom he had never before seen. AS soon as he
saw that he had probably killed the man he made his
escape, and soon atterward shipped on foreign
voyage. He was stranger In Newport; in fact
formed the sailor that he in the police station
here for drunkenness the night before tho murder,
and that while confined in the cell he stole three
blankets and took them with him on board of his
vessel His description of tho station house and
the harbor was quite correct.

port soon his release but returned to his homo
sitter the sad affair had been lost sight Of.

which would be the chief protection of Ger
many IN the event of an attack by Russia.
'.From the year 1871" says the writer, "to this
day, the German War Department has been la
boring with equal activity and skill at the com
pletion of the three great defensive systems
of which K5nigsberg, Thorn and Poscn and
Breslau are the centres. The permanent in
trenched camp of Kjnigsberg is an imposing
example of the modern art of Notification.
Even greater care has been bestowed upon the
more important line of Posen-Th The
shortest road to the heart of Germany passes
across it, and three lines of defence-those of
the Vistula, the Netze and the Wharf.-The
are here connected with each other. If
the German army We're compelled to
abandon the line OF the Pregel (K6nigsberg),
it would find the greatest security ut Thorn.
The connection OF this fortress with Berlin is
protected by the strong line of the Netze the
army would be able to communicate freely with
the west and southwest against an attack from
East Prussia and in the more dangerous event
of an attack from Warsaw and the left bank of
the vistula it would have behind it the whole
line formed by that river as far as the
sea. The Russians could not cross the me-
flulan OF morn on either line With
out strategically exposing themselves. They
would, therefore, be obliged to attack Thorn
but this place has now been made so strong
that while in German hands it would prove
almost invincble." Captain Kirchhammer's
conclusion is that the friendship, or Mt least the
neutrality, OF Austria-Hungary would in the
event of war with Germany be of the greatest
possible military value to Russia. San invading
Russian army would naturally advance against
Prussian Silcsia, the weak point of the German
defence; but it could only do so with the per-
mission of Austria. If, on the other hand
Germany wished to act the offensive, her
first step would be to occupy Russian Poland.
This she could only do if her TANKS were secure.
Her left flank is covered by the Baltic; but her
right, unless Austria is friendly, would be
threatened from Bohemia. 1t would therefore
be her strongest interest from military point
of view, to assure herself of the neutrality of
Austria. Thus each of the two Powers would
need the assistance of Austria if it contemplated
an attack on the other."]
