A City Built Over a Cave.

The Knoxville Tenn. Tribune pub
fishes an account of q curious accident
which occurred the night before on
Reservoir hill, when a portion of the
bottom of the north reservoir dropped
out, precipitating five hundred thou
sand gallons of water into the hitherto
unknown cavernous depth below, and
says: We visitor Reservoir hill yester-
day and fo Ind the north reservoir
entirely empty, and a great hole in the
bottom at the southeast corner ju t as
described yesterday. The water had
disappeared, and there was nothing to
indicate the exact course it hal taken.
The hole seemed to be an opening be-
tween two Ie1ges of limestone rock.
In this case the cost of making the
bottom of the reservoir secure will not
be very large. Yesterday morning
muddy water was discovered issuing
from spring on First creek, in East
Knoxville. Though this spring is half
mile from the reservoir, it is doubt
less the outlet for a portion of the five
hundred thousand gallons of water
which dropped into the yawning chasm
of the mountain the night before. Of
course much of the water is vet in the
subUerranean vaults and viii not run
out. 1t is not generally known that
Knoxville is built over mammoth
cave. 1t is doubtless fact that there
are natural subterranean passages be-
meath the city. Their extent is unknown,
and it is uncertain TO what extent their
existence endangers the city or any
portion of it. 1t is asserted that one
subterranean passage beneath the city
was several years ago explored to the
extent of half mile. 1t is also claimed
that during the war refugee wan
dered several days in the caves under
the city, travelling several miles in all.
There is an entrance to a cave near the
river, a few hundred yards be.Ow Second
creek. This is said to lead into great
cavern under College hill, and this is
supposed to be connected with the
mysterious vaults under the older por-
tion of the city. In different locations
in the older part of the city, Eetween
First and Second creeks, openings to
these caverns have been discovered by
the sinking of pits anil the dropping
through of the bottoms of cisterns.
On State street, in the rear of the
Hattie hou e. is cavern of unknown
dimensions which was discovered when
the foundations were being dug for
that building. On the same street
farther north the same or another
chasm has been dug into. On or near
Union street, not far from the market
house, the bottom dropped out of
cistern few years ago and the water
sunk to unknown depths. In the rear
of the billiard hall nearly opposite the
Tribune office there is bottomless pit,
or one which is very deep. A few
years ago the bottom dropped out of a
cistern at the Lamar house. and many
of the guests were frightened for fear
the hotel would sink into a chasm.
Perhaps the first intimation of the !
holloWness of Knoxville's foundation !
was received number of years ago,
when the bottom dropped from the |
cistern at the Franklin house.

We appeal to the ministers of the
gospel, our moral teachers and advis-
ers in all the churches, Christian asso-
Citations, Sunday schools, etc, etc, to
open their batteries against fortune
tellers and herb doctors. root sellers
and all that gang Of soothsayers that
infest this city. The money that is
paid out to fortune tellers, root doctors
and the "Voodoers'' in this city is al
most too fabulous to mention in this
connection, and nine tenths of it comes
out Of the pockets of those who ask
for aims and charity in the cold days
of the bleak winter.
The recognition that has been &C
corded to coloredcitizens of Virginia by
the readjuster party in federal and State
positions, is the best evidence of the
good intentions and real meant promi
ses of the leaders. What has been
done for the COlorCd schools of Virgin
ia. since the new party has had charge
of the State government is really sur
prising. There is some hope now for
colored teachers. The policy seems to
be to have colored teachers for colored
schools. This is as it should be, why
should colOred citizens he compelled
to have their children taught by
class of white people, such as the bour-
bon dynasty fastened on them in the
past, who taught. yet did not believe
that colored people should learn, GER

drew their pay with great punctuality
and regularity, but they had no real.
