An Alleged Natural Gas Cave In Kentucky
Nearly Blows the State tn Atoms

An Alleged Naturnl Gas Cave in Kentucky
Nearly Blows the State tn Atoms
CHICAGO, August 22 The Daily News
has the following special from Hardins-
burg, Ky, dated August 2l: Two miles
from this place there exists what is known
az the Natural Gas Cave, from the fact that
a strong how OF natural gas has
for many years past been escaping
from it. 1t is 10 the same belt
~ that Of the natural gas well at Bran
densbure, and seems TO be a great natural
vent for great vein or natural store house
OF this great phenomenon OF nature. AT
times the blow OF gas is tremendous, ana tue
pressure go great that the cave fairly vi
orares, and the loose rocks tumble into these
seemingly bottomless pits. Bot few persons
have ever yentured iute the cave. At such
times the gas is almost overpowerlng, and
to enter With lighted torch would be sim
ply suicidal.
A party oftourists from Grayson and JEFF
ferson counties came here yesterday to ex
plore the Diamond and 'Tsllow' caves
two noted caves in this vicinity-snd while
here they heard for the first time Of the na-
,ural pss cave, and determined to visit il
They bad scarcely entered il with their
lishted torches when there was terrible
eXploaop. which exten led through the cave
ror miles. Explosions were followed by
EXCLUSIONS. There we're violent upheavsls
of the earths crusts, and new d1mes or
vents to the cave we're at once created while
great masses OF rock and fragments OF wha,
sere once great trees were stre~n IN all al
rec,ions The shock was felt OF Cloverp'rt'
ten mills distant The entire party OF Sx
are buried in the debris Of the cave, and 80

RICHMOND, Va, August 22.-Rt. Rev.
Bishop John ]. Kesnei Of the diocese OF
Richmond, recently wrote letter to Hon.
A. NJ Kelley in relation to what he terms
the shameful persecution" that gentleman
is suff ring. The letter was written from
St. Paul, the Bishop at present being in the

ly esteemed Catholics Of the diocese OF Rich
mond, and one of the most honored citizens
of Virginia, bat through him to all his
fellow Catholics and felios citizens in this
country, and to the holy Father himself.
But in this insult to you 1 can see no hu,

injustice and irreligion, and the government
of Austria having by it's recent act, made
itself the sbettor of the guik and partner in

pable of huniiating. While have
regretted the attacks made on
YOU by part OF the daily press, still that
