Buried under Debris.


UARDINGBURG, KY, August 22.-
Two miles from this place there ex-
lists what is known as the natural gas
cave from the fact that strong flow
OF natural gas has for many years
past been escaping from it. 1t is the
same belt of that of the natural gas
wells at BrandensbHrg and seems to
be great natural vent for q great
vein or natural storehouse of this great
phenomenon If nature. The flow Of
the gas is tremendous and the press
ure Is SO great that the cave fairly vi
brates, and loose rocks tumble into
the seemingly bottomless pits. But
few persons have ever Yentured into
the caYe, as at such times the gas is
almort overpOwering, and to enter
with alighted torch would be simply
suicidical. A partp Of tourists from
Grayson and Jefferson counties come
here yesterday to explore the ''Dia-
mond" and "Tallnw" caves. two noted
caves IN this vicinity, and while here
they heard for the frat time of the nat
ural gas cave, and detirmined to ex-
plore it. They had scarcely entered
it with their lighted torches when
there was a terrible explosion. which
extended throuought the cave for
miles.
There were violent upheavals Of the
earth's crust, and new dolnes or vents
to the cave were at once created, while
great masses of rock and fragments of
what were once greart trees were
strewn in all directions. The shock
was felt at Cloverport, ten miles away.
The entire party of six are buried in
the debris of the cave, and 30 great is
the mass upon them that many days
must elapse before the bodies can be
recovered. The names of the unfOr-
tunats victims of the accident are as
follows: John Alexander, sged TWEEN.
ty-two, who resided at Burkeville,
Ky. j. L. Reed, aged about forty
five, who resided near Orleans, Ind;
Thomas LoOny, aged twenty >seyen,
of Jefferson crunty, KY; r. o. Will
lis, aged thnty,rix, Grayson county,
Ky. Mrs. J Heyser. Graysou
county, KY. and Miss Ollie Ali
son, Maulenburg county, Ky. Great
excitement prevails. A large force
of workmen, headed by Col. Horace
Sdott, leading business man of the
town, are endeavoring to effect all
entrance to the cave, but their trsk
seems hopeless. The gas is overpow-
ering and work ls carried OH with
great difficulty, as M lights can be
used. Citizens from Cloyerport and
the surrounding country are focking
here in great numbess and will
lend all the aid in their power. 1t
is twenty-six miles to the nearest
telegraph office.

An AnsodOts of Madison.

ingtOn Post of Aug. is, gives an In
teresting account of a journal made
by Andrew Jackson's secretary Of
state from Washington to James Ma
dison's estate of "Montpelier," near
Orange Courthouse, Va. After an
uncomfortable day and night ride in
an oldfashioned Virginia stage coach
over heavy roads, Mr. Livingston
arrived at Montpelier at o'clock in
the mornlag. Mr.. Madison was
aroused and the secretary of state
was shown to his chamber. The
letter says:
He found the venerable father of
the Constitution a wan and wasted
old man, whose hair was blanched
and whose form was wasted by blasts
of more than eighty winters. He had
arisen from an antique poster and
curtained bed and was sitting before a
wood fire, AMI by his side stood a
small and simple table, on which
there burned single tallOw candle.
The venerable statesman was himself
curtained and almost concealed by a
night-gown tnat reached to his feet.
But Mr. Livingston said that as soon
az he had opened up the contents of
his solitary embassy t. the old seer he
showed, like Noses, that ''his eye was
not dim, neither was his natural force
abated." He requested Mr.. Living
stem to- read the proclamation to him
(meantime ordering another candle
to be lighted, Mr.. Livingston hold
ing the paper close to aud between
the two dim lights) }, and during the
reading Mr.. Madison gave Austere
audience. sometimes suggesting
modification, an interlineation or
sight paraphrase, but this mentally
and subjectively. When Mr.. Living
ston had finished, Mr.. Madison, after
some quiet reflection, requested TO
have the paper reread. Again Nr.
Livingston slowly and deliberately
read, again the great and grave con-
stitutionalist from beneath his night
cap muttcred mental modification.
Finally, he asked that he might read
the document and n tie upon it the
changes or comments which Gen.
Jackson had requested. This he did,
and his interiineations were as terse
and beautiful and pithy as the pages
of the Federalist.
And now the gray Of the dawn was
stealing through the curtains. Mr..
Madison remarked that he had had
Mr.. Livingston's carriage sent back
and that he would drive with the SEC
rstary in his own carriage to the
Court-House to catch the stage for
fredericksburg. and that they would
walk down to breakfast while the
carriage was being prepared. 1t SO
fell from some miscalculsti3n that
when they reached Orange Court
House they found the stage had al
ready some time gone. Mr. Madison
at"Once insisted that Mr.. Livingston
should use his carriage to FrederickS-
burg, wiring and giving to the coach
man note to the landlord of tavern
midway between the stages. or nearly
80. instructing him to furnish fresh
team thence to fredericksburg and re-
turn. When within some ten miles
of fredericksburg the stage was over
tax on and passed, and Mr.. Livingston
was thus enabled to antici pate his
closest calculations. When he reach
ed the White House the following
day and submitted the revised draft
30 the President. it was fOrmulated
and promulgated in the form ~and
phrase of the revision.

A Strange Sight.

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug, 2L-Con-
adorable excitement has been caused
u Cohoes by strange sight at the
residence of Mrs. Thos. Wood, whose
iutanE child died on Wednesday.
When the undertaken was preparing
the body tor burial one of the party
present suddenly declared that the
figures of cross and chalice could be
seen OH the white cloth that cavsred
the child's face. Tne others looked
and saw the figure. Word went out.
and psople focked to tie house, un
til 1t became necessary to call on the
police to keep back the crowd. The
cloth was frequently wet with water,
but the figure remained. The spots
where the cross and chalice were out
lined were of glistening winter shade
than the remainder Of the cloth when
it was wet. About u o'clock yester-
day the shadow disappeared. Many
believe it to haye been miracle.

How Bruin Rugged a Buzs-saw


"Tslking about funny things" +" said
= big brOnzed, bearded man in the
reading room ofAn uptown hotel the
other night, ''the funniest thing ever
heard of happened in my saw mill out
in Michigan. We used a heavy up
right saw for saving heavy timber
One day not long ago the men had all
gone to dinner, leaving the saw which
ran by water power going at full speed.
While we were away big b ack
bear came into the mill and went
nssing arOnnd. The saw caught his
fur and twitched him little. Brmn
didn't like this for a cent, .sO he turned
around and fetched tho saw lick
with his paw. Result: ha,lly cut
baw; a bloH with the other paw fol-
lowed and 1t was also cut. The bear
was by this time aroused to perfect
fury, and rushing at the saw caught
1t in his grasp and gave II tremendous
hug. Twas his last hug, and we liv-
cd ON bear steaks for a week. When
we came up from dinner, there was
half bear on each side of the saw,
which vas going ahead as nicely as
though it had hever seen bear.
THIS Is a fact, so help me, Bob." and
the big lum5erman bit off fresh chew
of tobacco.

NUMBER 20.
MINUTES.

The 14th Annual A Association of the
United Bapt1sts of Jesus Christ con.
vened with the Bailey Station Church
on the 5th day of September, 1885,
with Rev. Henry Harrison as Moder-
ator and HI. j. Matthews, Clerk. Rev.
Thomas Lester was appointed by the
Moderator to preach the Introductory
sermon. The services were introduced
by singing the beautiful hymn, ssCome
Thou Fountain of Every Blessing, -
being led by Rev. III. Harrison, and
prayer was offered by him also. The
hymn, Jerusalem My Happy Home, I"
in which the entire association Joined
with deep solemnity, fully demon
strated the feeling of each heart
throughout the congregation.
Rev. Thomas Lester then arose and
preached an able sermon from the Goth
chapter of Acts, 2Sth verse. The sub
ject contained several features and SO
much real thought, that the speakers
mind was forced in the direct attitude
of reason and was lead by the spirit
into that field which is all beautiful
with love and .cheered by the echoing
music of angels. The sermon was
closed by words suitable to the train
of thought in every particular.
On mOUlOn, ReV. THOMAS Lester was
unanimously elected Moderator for the
ensuing year.
The motion was carried that III. J..
Matthews be elected as clerk for the
ensuing year.
The hour having passed, and the
members minds being SO occupied
with thoughts of business, the Mod
orator called their attention to the fact
that if thew failed to adjourn at the
proper time, they would likewise fail
to call on in due time.
On motion, the Association adjourn
ed until half-past one O'Clock.
not to meet with the hour designated |
sor convening and there was an amend
nent offered by III. J. Matthews to in
'ert the words half-past two o'clock
instead of half-past one, which was@I
seconded and carried.

cause is the manner in which the great
railway corporations, especially the Bos-
ton & Albany and the Grand Trunk,
manage the cattle freighting business.
While no outsider can prove the fact
that certain favorite shippers get re-
bate of S12 or $15 per carload, as COM
pared with the freight which the ordin-
airy shipper has to pay, yet it is fact
that the business of these two great
lines of transportation is monopolized
by two shippers. This unjust discrim-
ination has killed out almost all the
small shippers of cattle.
Here, in the nefarious conduct of the
railroads, is the point of difficulty to
the eastern farmers. Rings within rings,
backed by enormous capital, are making
of the business of the common carrier
lever to break down poorer men into a
condition of servitude everywhere, and
to set up an American moneyed aris-
tocracy as much worse than the no
bility of England as a public plunderer
is worse than proud but self-respect-
ing aristocrat. This is the point of dan
ger and it is high time that the people,
East and West, should rouse themselves
to meet foe more dangerous to free
dom than the slave power in its palm
lest days.
