CAPTURED BY COMSTOCK.
A Former Sedalian the Lessee OF
the Mammoth Cave Hotel
in Kentucky.

VIC. Comstock, formerly chief clerk Of
the old Ives house in this city, when IT was
under the control of Col. James y. Ives
arrived in Sedalia yesterday and paid the
BAzoO pleasant visit. Mr.. ComsiOck has
leased the Mammoth Cave hotel. Kentucky,
for five years, and came west, stopping In
St Louis, to look after reduction OF rail-
road fare between the Louisville exposition
and Mammoth Cave, the same as to and
from other points
The original owner of the cave was DIR.
John Croghan, a Scotchman, who died In
1889. The ownership then descended to
nine heirs of the doctor, three OF whom
died, and the property is now controlled by
trustees, one of whom lives ip California,
another in Philadelphia and another some
where else. The ownership of the cave EN-
braces about 5000 acres on the surface.
The purchase of this land became neces-
sary in order to prevent other spectators
from sinking q shaft from above down into
the cavern, and thereby form other en-
frances that would divide the profits oh.
tanned from visitors to the great natural
wonder. A former agent attempted to get
a map of the interior passage of the cave
ern for this purpose, but was headed OIL
and his design prevented from being con
summated. The different avenues OF the
cavern, if extended in one line, would have
a length of $50 miles. The largest room
is known as Mammoth DOME" and is 4SO
ieet long, 263 feet wide and the height is
1863 feet. About 600 visitors entered this
cave last month. mos. of them coming
from the eastern states, England and Scot
land. The short route has an
extent, going and returning
of nine miles, and the
long route is twenty miles. The fee to
guides is So the short route and s. the long
route, including lights. The cavern is
illuminated by Bengal lights. The tenn
perature of the cavern is uniform, being
81 degrees Farenheit, the year round. The
old saitpetre works, which were abandoned
since the war of 1872, are still seen, thu
va,s and pumps being still in good STATE
of preservation. About q month ago
Echo river, in the interior of the cavern
was not passable on account OF the higi
water, but the crossing is all right nov
This subterr anean river is sixty feet wide
thirty feet deep, and boats navigate IT
distance OF about three quarters OF a mile
No accident has occurred in the cave 10
several years.

BnApFoRD. Pa. Oct. 16.-The Beech
Tree mines owned by the Rochester q
Pittsburg railroad, started up yesterday
morning with 100 men without any dis
turbance, the presence OF Pinkertons
detectives partly having a good effect
An effort will be made to open mines OF
the company at Punsutawney this after
noon and two extensive mines at Dubois
tomorrow. The strikers at these points
are very strong, and it is reported will
resist any attempt at resumption. A dis
patch from Reynoldsyilie reports all qIiet
there.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16.-The switchmen
on all railroads entering ST. Louis and
East St. Louis went ON general strike
for shorter hours and higher wager at
noon yesterday. They demand ten hours
for days work, extra pay for Sunday.
and thirty cents an hour for all work
over ten hours, besides $50 month of
twenty six working days. The strikers
number 600 in St. Louis and East st.
Louis. The strike will probably cause a
blockade of freight in East st. Louis
SAN FRANIsco, Oct. 49, 6--There have
been suspicious for some time past that
many Chinese are permitted to land from
the Chinese steamers, who, under the
restriction act, are not entitled 10 that
privilege The loophole has been dis
covered to exist under article second OF
the treaty. which permits any Chinaman,
other than laborers, to come to the United
States if provided with certificate issued
by the Chinese government, identifying
him as engaged in other pursuits than
that of a laborer The steamer Rio
JAneiro, which arrived Saturday brought
132 Cinnamon for San Francisco,
n of whom held trades certifi-
Gates issued by officials of the Chi
nese government. Notwithstanding the
strongest external evidences of their being
ignorant Chinese labo rers, they were all
with the exception of six, permitted to
land. The steamer Coptic. which arrived
last month, brought ia Chinese. "a of
whom held similar certificates, issued by
officials of the Chinese Customs. Fully
80 per cent of both lots belonged to the
common class of wOrkmen. When that
circumstance was called TO the attention
of the custom house officials, their reply
was they had not the power to go back
of Chinese government certificates.

Fourth that this decision effects only
the validity of the law in States and not
in Territories or in the District of Colum-
bIa, where the legislative power of Con
gress is unlimited, and it does not under
take to decide what Congress might or
might not do under power to regulate
commerce with foreign nations and
amongst the several States, the law not
being drawn with any such rule.
Fifth, that the first and second acts of
Congress. March 1st, 1875 entitled AN
act to protect all citizens in their civil

and void and judgement should be rem

At the conclusion of the reading of
Judge Bradley's opinion, which occupied
over an hour, Justice Harlan said that
under ordinary circumstances and in or
dinary cases he should hesitate to set up
his individual opinion in opposition to
his eight colleagues. but in view of what
he thought the people of this country
wished to accomplish. what they tried to
accomplish, and what they believed they
had accomplished, by means of this le-
gislation, he must express his disseu
from the opinion of the court. He haC
not time since hearing that opinion tc

one as soon as possible and in the mean
time desired to put upon record this ex

Night after night the large audiences gath.

probation of the splendid talents OF this
tronpe.
Miss Rilla Mormon es Lady Isabel in

Her parts in all the other pieces are tame
indeed, as compared with this. In this she
seems to throw her whole soul, and you for
get the actress feeling that you are in the
presence of veritable lady of rank whose
heart is rending with real passion.
Never have we seen o finer piece of acting
than that displayed by Miss Stella Eu'it

seem that every manly heart was reused te

EpIroR FREE Pass we, tho mill men
end resident citizens of the San Marcos NV
er valley, wish to state through your paper,
that we fully endorse the course pursued by
Mr.. Geo. II. McGehee in his opposition to
the destruction Of at least one for h to ono
half of the volrme of water Of the San MAJ
cos river, caused, as we think, by the dam
erected by Messrs Fourqurean " Code
and we regret to see Mr.. McGehee censured
iu this matter when we are equally es cul-
pable.
We feel an interest In the town OF San
Marcos, and in the proposed erection OF a
first. class mill' or factory by Messrs. Four
ourean 4 Code, and while we would not
detract one farthing from Fourqurean
& Codes mill interest, or the commercial
interest Of San Marcos, ut the same time 1t
must be remembered that we as mill owners
and land owners, fronting on the San Mer-
cos river have at least some interest in this
matter. and We feel that that interest Is now
being jeopArdized; for what we assert in
reference 10 the decline or fell in the San
Marcos are stubborn facts and any unpre-
JUDGED mind will come 70 this conclusion
upon proper investigation. The fau in
| the San Marcos from Fourqurean Il Codes
mill to W. A. Thompson's mill is not per
| ceptible, from the fact that Smith, Wool
| folk and Thompson have all raised the hight
of their dams. thereby backing the water on
the two fords Of the river since Fourqu-
rean q Code have closed their dam. Please
inpestioats and see if this is not fact. II
was urged by some that after the dam was
closed by Fourqurean Il Code that IN the
course of o short time the same emouut o.
water would return to the channel of thu
river proper, but now after one months time
has elapsed, we beg to state that the volume
of water has not increased, but rather, de
creased, and we regret to see so much op
position manifested in the matter by som
of the citizens of San Marcos.

Gated in excavating the ditch for it through
the mountains. At the river we found the

turned on about the middle of this week.

IT strikes US that 1t would be great i'm
provement to some of our principal streets
to cut the trees out of them. It would give
more the appearance of town, and also
make it practicable to grade aud otherwise
improve the streets, which cannot now be
done. We refer especially to the street lead
ing past the old grave yard.
