AN UNDERGROUND RIVER.
Exploring tho Rocks of whitaker
Mountain.

Exploring tho Rocks of Whittaker's
Mountain.
It may be the mouth of Salt River or
covered passage way to the StyX, says
a Charleston, 5, c., dispatch to the New
York Times. At any rate, ii is in n solid
Democratic district, and will soon be
ready for all comers. 1t was reported
several weeks ago that the Byers Broth
ers had discovered cave or under
ground river on their land near WHIT
takers Mountain, in York County, this
State The story excited the curiosity
of number of men Mt Charlotte, N. o.,
who determined to investigate the mys-
terry. They have sunk shaft fifty feet
deep.
Until yesterday morning nothing par
ticular was noticed, except that it was
perfectly dry, while 90 feet away a well
| 40 feet deep is so nearly full of water
that one can dip IL out by the hand from
| the surface. This led TO the belief that
at least hole or abundant drain existed
near where they were working. Yester-
| day morning the workmen pushed bar
| into cTevice inside of the shaft and
| ditched a mass of material, opening a
small hole from and into which the air
seemed to rush. accompanied by q loud
noise as of escaping steam, and the well
| was soon filled with vapor. This phe-
nomenon and the loud Fnoise frightened
the workmen, who fled from the work.
The news soon spread, and a large
number of citizens repaired to the scene.
A dozen or more descended the shaft and
| endeavored to account for or discover
the source of the sounds, which were
plainly heard on top of the ground, but
more plainly when in the well. All
agree that it is the sound of running
water over shoal perhaps 100 feet lower
down, and that il must be a large stream.
Rocks that were taken from an old eX-
cavation, still on the ground, show un-
mistakable signs of the action of swift
moving water.
The sounds now heard are unmistaka-
bly, those OF a considerable underground
river. 1t is probable that twenty feet
more of excavation will have to be made
before it will be definitely known what
is the nature and extent of this body Of
moving water, what the extent of the eX-
cavation it has created in this vicinity is
and of what value it may be as a natural
curiosity or point of interest. The men
now working are protected against any
sudden fall of the bottom of the shaft or
roof of the subterranean cavern. Whit
takers Mountain is a spur of the Blue
Ridge, and belongs to the great Appa-
lachian range.

The late Chancellor of the Exchequer,
Lord Randolph Churchill, has taken to

and being practical dreamer with be-
lief in himself, he backed No. % to win

of winners being dreamed, and so far as
l know my stories have been true, but
there is no doubt about this recent addi-
ton to the list. For one moment he may
have doubted whether he was flyer at
dreams after all, for the first number put
up by the judge was ''2' CTenebreuse),
and we began to wonder how it was we

cap, but ''2'' was speedily taken down.
The judge had told his man to hoist

made his voice lnaudible and so caused
the mistake However, the ''22" was
soon put up and Lord Randolph awoke
to the fact that he had developed new

THE PROCESSION last night was water
color in white and black.

The Republican procession last night
was, in many particulars, most re-
markable success. 1t is difficult to get
at numbers, but there were probably
5000 men in line, and this number would
have been largely increased if the
weather had been less threatening. 1T
was thoroughly enthused crowd and
yet the order was uniformly good, and
no disturbances arose. When 1t is con-
sidered that such demonstration occurs
in city where there are no voters,
where political organization is nat
urally lacking in tne essential ele-
ment which must give Conference, and
further, when the party represented has
been out of power for four years, the
energy and enterprise displayed and the
loyalty to party which so evidently and
enthusiastically manifests itself. are
worthy of recognition and commenda
ton. A great victory must necessarily
have a warming and reviving effect, but
it is none the less creditable to those in.
terested that in defeat they did not disin.
tegrate, and when it was their time
to celebrate they celebrated with a una
nimity that disaster might weaken, but
could not destroy. The procession was
a great revival and the spirit moved the
masses as one man.

rHE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION
IN '0g.

The cordial cooperative int crest mani.
Tested by the representatives of the sew
eral railroad lines tributary to Washing
ton at the conference yesterday with a
committee of the Board of Promotion
of the grand international exhibition Of
the arts, industries and resources of the
three Americas, proposed to be held at
the National Capital in 1899, is signif-
cant of the feeling being aroused in favor
of th grand project, and is decidedly
encouraging omen Of the success of the
enterprise.
AS relief from the turmoil of the
late political campaign, what a grand
measure this is to unite the sentiment
of the people of all parties and sections,
in urging upon Congress the passage of
the bill unanimously reported by the
House Committee on Foreign affairs,
providing for an exhibition for the mil
lions of visitors from all parts of the
world of the wonderful arts, resources,
and industries of the American republic,
in friendly competition with the exhibits
of the Dominion Of Canada and of Cen.
trail and South America, side by side, at
the National Capital in 1892!
What grander project can be devised
to properly commmemorate.the 4OOth an
niversary .of the discovery of America
than to provide for an exhibition at the
Capital of the Commanding Republic of
acknowledgements, progress and resource:
of the Western Hemisphere? 1t is Q
project which should arouse the patriot
ism of all citizens with genuine enthu
siasm.

MASSACHUSETTS has set forward the
peg of reform. The sentence of death
by hanging in the case of Mrs. Robinson,
the murderess, has been commuted to
life imprisonment. Ohio, with woman
waiting death on the scalrold, should
follow the example Of Massachusetts,.
And then in line with this progress Of
public sentiment, the Legislatures Of all
States should enact laws providing that
the penalty Of death shall not be in
nicted upon women. This is not scnti-
mentalism; it is manliness.
