LYON STREETS GRAND FUTURE.
Some OF the New Buildings and Inn
prosements Contemplated tor IL.


Among many other Improvements contem-
plated for Lyon street the coming season Vim.
L. Powers i making arrangements for the
erection OF a large rink and public hall com
bined on the lots opposite the county build
ings. The building will be lO0x200 feet in
size and will extend TO within 30 feet of the
corner of Ottawa street. 1t will be three
stories in height, practically. The first floor
will be devoted To stores, the second story
will contain the rink. The floor will be high
enough TO accommodate large gallery on
at least three sides, and thus there will be
two sets of windows. The main floor will be
about e0xl7O feet in size, III the clear, one of
the largest clear floors in the State.
The eastern store of the building
will be devoted To reception
room and stair cases to the floor above.
There will be check rooms, closets, skate
rooms, etc. The space under the floor will
be double deadened so that the noise will not
disturb people below, and so the sound of
the wheels will not disturb the skaters or
spectators; il will be as free from noise az a
dead floor. The hall will be provided with
ample exits and So being admirably located,
will be very popular for large public assem-
blies, etc.
Mr.. Powers also has under contemplation
a fine four-story brick block for stores and
offices on the corner of Ottawa and Lyon
streets. These improvements with the new
City Hall, the cable cars, an iron bridge
spanning the river, and a permanent police
will make this street very popular and i'm
portant one.

CLEVELAND'S CALLERS.
NO INTERVIEWS AFTER MONDAY
a Party OF Grand Rapids Democrats
Pay Their Respects TO Cleveland
and Manning.

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. l3-It is certain that
up TO this time Cleveland has made no ten
der Of Cabinet positions either orally or by
letter to any person. He has made himself
familiar with the opinions of leading mem
bers of the Democratic pakty, and is consid-
ering the matter quietly. h.he only callers
to-day at his Willett street residence were
delegation from Michigan and Judge Abbott,
Boston. Ii il thought that Senator Daniel
W. Voorhees, (the Tall Sycamore of the Wa
BASH will be here tomorrow morning,
although il was stated this evening on good
authority that it was not certainly known
that he was coming. The time of Cleveland
has been almost wholly taken up since his
return from New York by people who for the
most part have called only TO pay their re
spects. A party of gentlemen from Grand
Rapids, who were members of the Cleveland
and Hendricks club of that place, asked that
they be accorded a half hours interview.
They will be here tomorrow or Monday.
After Monday Cleveland will absolutely de
cline to see anyone, without exception, as he
feels that he must have some time TO him
self. The Michigan delegation, after calling
on Cleveland paid their respects to Manning
and assured him they should be pleased at
his appointment to and acceptance of the
portfolio of Secretary of the Treasury. Man.
ming said he wished no position and IL would
be more in accordance with his desire not
TO take any. Many of his friends here,
however, believe he will finally accept the
position.

Hunters Discover the Retreat of the
Noted Bandit Murrel.


Noted Bandit Murrel.
NASHVILLE, Feb. 13.-A genuine sensation
was created in this State to-day by the dis
covery in Carroll county of the supposed
cave of John A Murrei, the celebrated mur-
derer, robber, forger, counterfeiter and
bandit, who was the terror of this Western
country about fifty years ago. The cave Is
situated on the farm of W. q. Blair, and was
discovered 10y a party of hunters. When the
hunters first entered the cave a large num-
ber of bats and owls flew out, many falling
TO the ground when the air struck them.
Lanterns were procured and on exam
lining the room was found to be
ceiled with rough boards, and in one corner
the hunters were mortified To find the skele-
ton of man chained to the floor and several
heavy wooden chairs and a large table, on
which lay deck of playing cards. Beneath
the table was the skeleton of woman, also
chained TO the floor. On the wall was writ
ten, yet plain enough 20 be read, John A.
Murrell, 1923" Several pairs of handouts,
two large knives, two dried-up frames of
large bloodhounds, were also conveyed.
Large numbers of people visited the cave,
but few have had courage TO enter it.

The Experience of the Passengers and
Crew OF a Railroad Train.

Sr. Louis, Feb. I3.-The passenger train
which left Chicago on the Wabash road last
Sunday night arrived here this morning With
A. weary and disgruntled d lot OF passengers
as have arrived at the Union depot for many
a day. Their experiences constitute strange
recital OF suffering and adventures IN view
of the country they came through. The
train was about two hours out OF Chico 90
when il ran into a heavy snow drift, Ia which
the engine was powerlers. The snow was
soon piled a. high A the ears, both ahead of
the train and behind II, and for three days
and nearly four nights the passengers were
virtually prisoners Everything that was
eafable aboard the train was soon consumed,
and relief parties of passengers and train
men were sent out 10 the farm houses, which
dot the prairie along at intervals there, 10
gather supplies. Prices for provisions went
up TO a remarkable figure and the days were
long and dreary. Nobody starved and no
body froze, bat everybody was fairly worn
out by the imprisonment. Wednesday night
another train from Chicago reached the
sufferers, and the two engines managed 10
break through the drifts after another day
and half of work.

Indiana Bound to be Recognized.


WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Beck has
prepared memorial, which has been signed
by a majority of the Democratic Senators,
urging the appointment of Mr.. Mcdonald
for the cabinet. The memorial will be for
warded to Mr.. Cleveland to night. In course
of a couple of days Senator Voorhees, will
visit Mr.. Cleveland at the head of the Indi-
ana delegation, III the interest of
Mr.. Mcdonald. The latter gentle
mans friends had advised this action to
offset the evil influence of Mr.. Hen
bricks, which they are convinced is being
secretly used against Mcdonald. They say
if Hendricks would only make an honest
sincere request for Mcdonald, Cleveland
would appoint him, but so far Hendricks has
simply damned him with faint praise. Nc
Donald's friends here have become very
much worked up on the matter. Unless Mr..
Mcdonald is appointed to Cabinet place
there will be a serious split in the camp of
the Indiana Democracy.

both trials was false, that she was coerced
into committing perjury by her aunt's
