Ono Of tho ouriositieS at present in
Camden is the spot where a cave was
discovered within sYery fow yards of
the Camden city hall, last evening, by
Chief OF Police Mstlack and Lieut..
Kelly. The attention OF those officers
was drawn to the situation OF tho under
ground passage by the mysterious &C .
tons OF u number OF lads, who would
cOngrGgate on "A pile Of Telegraph poles
in the vicinity and suddenly ono Nv one
would disappear as though sWGllOWed
up by the Garth. An investigation of
the actions OF the lads resulted in tho
nnding OF the cave. Upon arriving
at the place where the boys were
seen, the officers soon found hinged
board about oightoOn inches square,
partly covered with earth. Upon rails
ing the board they discovered a nina
ture ladder reaching down 10 subter-
ranean chamber. Both mon proceeded
down tho ladder and wore surprised TO

TERRIBLE GAS EXPLOSION,
Killing Three Men Near Montreal-TUS
CanAsns Burst, Injurins Several
Persons at Democratic
Meeting-Some Fires.


MONTREAL, Oct. 25,--A terrible gas ex-
plosion occurred this morning in the
residence of J. r. Hutchius, on Fort
street, completely wrocking the house,
blowing out all the windows and carry
ing away the gabel end. Furniture,
beds, bedding and household effects
were blown into the street in all direc-
tons. The windows in adjoining resi-
dencos were shattered. Bricks and de-
hris wore carried q great distance. Ser
wants who were sleepi in the base
meut when tho eS plusi0u occurred suf
iered most severely, two Of them being
terribly scorched and receiving serious,
and ia one case, fatal injuries. Mrs
Hutchins was also badly scorched about
the face. Her bed was against the gable
which WAS blown on and she had a mar
row escape. Investigation proves that
a hole nearly an inch in circumference
existed in the pipe below the metre, but
how the flaw occurred is mystery, un-
less it was caused by plumbers who
were at work in the house yesterday.

WARRINGTON, oct 23.-The following
remarkable circular has been sent to
Indiana office-holders:
Rooms Of the Republican state Central Com
mittee, DenisOn Hstel-lud.anapOlis, Ind,
October II, 1884.
DEAR SIR;-The election for presi-
dent, congressman and state aud local
officers is now upon us. As Il Republic
can, you must believe that the wei
fare OF the country requires the
continuance of the control of public at-
fairs in the hands Of Republicans. The
Democrats are crying for chango-a
change Of what? Mr.. Hendricks says a
change Of $4,000 officers" That can
only mean q demand for your place as
well as that OF all other Republicans
now in Office. Should they obtain con-
troll of tho national government, no civil
service law would DO allowed TO stand
in the way Of the hungry hordes (sir'.
They lead to obtain control of Offices
great or small Thdy will find a man TO
fill zach place. You would be
expected to go, and their command
would be that you should not "wait
upon the order of your going" but that
"yOu so al once" William 5. Odell is
authorized To receive any voluntary COLI
LIlDullbl luNJ You may ut~llt 10 make 70
this committee, and wa will add that
there is no federal officer upon the com
mittee. A list Of the names and amounts
given by each person will be carefully
made and the same reported to the ma
tional committee, and a list will also be
made Of all persons IN Office who do not
contribute. If you wish TO aid this com
mittee it should be done ut once.
Signed JoHN G. NEW, Chairman.
n. MICHEN gR, Secretary.
VERY PLAIN.
This Is one Of tho most thoroughly
bulldozing circulars over issued by n
Republican committee. In former
years ii was generally understood that a
"black Inst" Of clerks who failed to res
pond was kept; but Chairman New an
nounces to Indian ofiicC-holders over
his own signature that such list will
be made, and the language no uses car
ries the implication that 10 will he re-
ported TO tho national committee. Clerks
know well what this means.
A similar circular has been sent here
by the Iowa Republican committee to
Iowa clerks, men and women. Never
before have Office holders been set upon
so urgently and persistently by the ma
tional, congressional, state, county, and
other campaign committees of tho Re
publican party.

BLAINEiS CHANGED TACTICS.

pLNliNE = STlNN6ED ~ ICS,
In Ohio BLAINE knew only the tariff,
and talked tariff and tafly until he made
all decent people sick. The extent Of
tho influence welded by him was dem
onsirated by reduced Republican ma
jortesl
Doubtless Mr.. BLAINE's managers ap-
Precate this fact and ieol tho necessity
of another limo Of argument. At any
rate, another limo Of argument has boon
pursued by Mr.. BLAINE in Indiana. II
may have been concluded that the tariff
issue was afallure, or it may have hoon
concluded that the HOOTERS are more
easily reached through projudicss, but
at any rate BLAINE vigorously waved
the bloody shirt in his recent swing
around the circle in Indiana.
BLAINE first recommended himself to
his party by his bold abuse OF the south
and his memorable tilt with BEN HILL,
but latterly no has been hedging aud at
tempting to curry favor with the
south. In his letter OF acceptance be
was modest and moderate rs to the
south, and INDUCED in tafIy, but
he dropped the mask at Fort Wayne and
bravely, but dlsgustingly returned to
his vomt.
Tho tariff in Ohio, tho bloody shirt in
Indiaual As the FIRST was failure, 80
will the second be. The people Of the
north, even, have grown tired OF this
sectional, old war night.
But the chiefsigniiicance Oftho change
in the line Of argument, is the indication
Of tho dosperateness and hopelossness OF
the Plumed Knaves cause. When no Is
compelled to leave living issues aud per-
tinent personalities in the canvass aud
resort to gravo-yards and dead aud rot
ten issues for appeal and argument.
surely is his dependence placed upon a
broken reed. Truly is his cause in a
pitiahle condition.
Whenever the Republican campaign
managers begin to wave thos bloody
shirt, it is avirtual confession that they
arc whipped upon tho issues aud COM
PEELED to fall back upon ignoblo pro-
JUDGES.
