ROBBERS CAVE.
Dripping and Damp Now-Another Large
Cave Discovered-Poor Frank
Harris Last Work
Crops, Etc, Etc.

Mr.. william krempkau returned Mon
day from Sundays visit to Captain II.
L. McCall's ranch, located near Robbers,
Cave. lie reports having seen the finest
stand OF cotton In the county in four
acres OF ground on the captains ranch,
lie went up the mountain divide for two
miles and passed by the water hole
which Frank Harris was digging when
he was taken away and murdered and
then thrown in Robbers cave. In spite
OF the plentiful rains that have watered
this spot for two seasons since then,
not drop OF water will remain in this
hole, nor will any green thing grow
about its yawning edges, though all
around 1t everything Is green and -four
lshlhg Mr.. krsmpkau and a party
consisting OF his mother. Mrs. NoCaiI
and family. Louis Robin. Carol Bran
non. Buck Younger and others visited the
Robbers Cave and explored IL for near
~ three hours. Mr.. krempkau eXplor-
ed u 10 much lower level than IL WAS
hitherto explored and 20 feet below the
lowest known depths he found a fine
stream OF cold clear water. lie also
found the Gave at this time very damp.
lie drew Out with the aid Of eight men,
the largest crystal rock that has been
brought to the surface. 1t Is very beau
tlful aud weighs over 300 pounds. An
old Mexican, the same who found
Harris skeleton In this cave, then
guided the party to another vast cave,
800 yards from Robbers cave, and which
had not been known to exist before.
The party descended to a distance OF
100 feet, and found one large chamber,
greater In area than the Military
plaza. and capable OF containing 5000
people at one time. In this cave the
party experienced the queerest sensa-
tions, supposed to arise from the gaseous
air contained therein. Their coal oil
lanterns exploded Immediately the
descent was made, and had
II not been that they were
provided with candles, the party
must have remained in the cave until
their friends above ground came to their
assistance. Candles were at hand, how
ever, and this was happily avoided. Mr..
hrempkau was struck upon the head
with small loose pebble, and he SAYS IL
felt as IL large stone had struck him.
Mr.. Robin WAS cut upon the forehead
with sharp piece of crystal. Other
mishaps occurred but none of a serious
nature.
Speaking OF the country round about,
MIR. krempkau says the grass and crops
look well, and that grass Is growing in
the rocky cliffs OF the mountains, where
none was ever known to grow before for
20 years.

Can't Give Evidence Now.

1t will be remembered that the LIGHT
published a full detail Of the Crouch
tragedy in which Jacob ID. Crouch,
father Of Byron l.. Crouch was muir
dered at Jackson, Michigan. News has
reached the city that Jacob Crouoh's
old friend, Jacob Hutohins, has just died
in Jackson, and one of the most impor-
tant state witnesses has passed away.
Thus the end of justice In this case, as
in many others, are likely to be frustrated
by the intollerable delays of the law.

a Warrior.

w. r. Mosby went on the war-path
with small 32-calibre pistol last night.
Mosby keeps little store west of the
San Pedro. 1t Is presumed he was
drunk. No other cause for his blood
thrstiness is given. He terrorized the
neighborhood, the inhabitants not being
so much afraid Of his little gun as they
were of his lite british counte-
nance, which glsred at them terribly.
Steven Sandoval, deputy sheriff, tackled
him, and Mosby was in his glory. Steve
did not want to hurt him and so tried
simply to get his pistol away, so he
could be locked up comfortably. In the
struggle the tarnal pop gun went of and
Steve was wounded in the finger and a
by-stander named Fuery, who was en-
jOying the little deputy sherifl's fun r
great deal more than he was, was hit in
the stomach by the same bullet. Mosby
was arrested, however.

Since the defeat of GladstOne's
home rule bill, there have been the
most uncalled for and unprovoked
scenes of mob violence in Ireland,
and strange to say it was not by the
Catholics and friends of home rule,
but by the protestant orange-men in
those places where they largely pre-
vail, and who are opposed to home
rule and who are the victors in the
defeat of Gladstone. OF course this
state of anarchy and riot has its infu-
ence in the Catholic counties who to
some extent have retaliated. There
must be something very wrong in any
community, protestant or Catholic
that will resort to such violence, es-
pecially over mere legislative vic
tory,and perhaps neither party should
be held responsible for such conduct
as a whole, till the receipt of further
particulars.

BUSINESS.

Active and extensive trade is not
expected at this season of the year,
for the reason that the spring trade
is over and it is not yet time for the
fall trade to set In. Consequently
all that can be said respecting trade,
must be confined TO the indications.
These are favorable and are general
ly believed to be improving. The
causes OF the improvement in the sit
uation and outlook are quite numer-
Gus. The adjustment of the labor
troubles has been very general, and
the result of the strikes has been scuh
as to lead to the conclusion that lit
tie OF no danger is apprehended from
the interruption of industry and bus
mess from that quarter. The crop
reports are generally favorable.
Rains during the past ten days have
dispelled the fears of injury to the
growing crops in Minnesota and Da-
kota, which prevailed to some extent
a week ago. The rains in the lower
Mississippi valley have improved the
condition of the cotton crop. The
general condition of the cotton crop,
while good, is not SO promising as a
year ago, but the latest reports are
more favorable than those of June l.
The promising reports of the wheat
crop have had tendency to push
prices down. The prices of all sta
Piles are so abnormally low, that it is
scarcely possible that change can
be otherwise than for the better. In
the cities along the Mississippi, "the
demand for money is conspicuous in
proportion to the amount of funds Of
fering." In regard to railroad stock:
there appears to be difference oil
opinion, the Financial Chronicl
asserting that there is evidently mucl
confidence in railroad property, tn
strength of opinion among the larg
majority of investors and stockhold
ers being on the side of firm prices
! On the other hand Bradstreet's say
that manipulation alone has proven
ted any decided break" The ban
reports of New York indicate an in
creased demand for money. Thes
: ale among the indications which al
e regarded as favorable for fall trad,
S Bradstreets reports the number {
: failures in the United States the pa
e week to have been 143. During Il
/ corresponding week of 1885, Il
l. number was 1877, and 1S4 in 1873

1t is said that the president is dis
pleased with the work of this con-
gress and will be glad when it gets
away. He believes that it has failed
to accomplish what it should have
done and has done many things which
it should have left undone. In his
message the president invoked con-
gress to reform the tariff. That it
cannot do because there is a MAORI
ty against it in both houses. He ask
ed that the coinage of silver be stop
ped. A large majority in the house
nipped that proposition in the bud.
He urged the reconstruction of the
navy and the building of adequate
coast defenses. Neither of these
measures can be taken up, it is said
because a majority are against the
expenditure of money contemplated
in the bills. Altogether the wishes
of the president have been disregard
ed, and it causes no surprise that he
should implore ae early adjournment
All but about forty democratic mem.
bers of the house are so unalterably
opposed to any expenditure of money
till the tariff is reformed that it is
foregone fact that none of the presi
dents recommendation will be car
ried out by this congress.

Two phases of the Irish cause now
absorb attention. One is the great
riots and the other Is the dissolution
of parliament and appeal to the coun-
try The riots appear to have been
caused chiefly by the Orangemen, or
so-called loyalists. These men oppose
home rule because they would be in
minority in Dublin parliament and
their organized existence has purpet-
uated the bitterness of the struggle
between William III. and James
III. two hundred years. They con-
time to fight the Battle of the
BoyRe, and they always will I'M
tai the old conditions are rad
ieally altered. So far, therefore,
from these disturbances being an ar
gument against home rule, they are
a powerful argument in its favor. AS
to Mr.. Gladstone's appeal to the
country, there is reason of hope it
wall result ia a parliament that will
favor his great measure. If it does
not, then the conservatives will come
into power and their troubles will
begin. Then they will have to pro-
