AN EXTENSIVE CAVERN.

Subterranean Passages Extending in
Every Direction Near Spencer, Ind.
MARTINsvILLE, IND, Nov. 7.-H. H.
Sturm of Indianapolis and Richard Penck-
ert of Spencer have discovered a cave near
Spencer. Last night they explored it. The
entrance is a hole twenty feet deep and
about three feet in diameter. At the bot
tom begins a narrow and steep passage
running northeast about thirty five feet.
At the end of this passage was a step-off of
about five feet and Immediately to the left
was chamber about eight feet in
diameter, the wall rising gradually in
the form of cone, meeting at
a point overhead. thirty feet from
the floor. The walls are hung with numer-
ons stone pendants. A passageway eigh-
teen inches wide and ten feet long led from
this opening toward the northwest to an
other chamber similar to the first, but
about sixty feet high. A passageway then
brought the party into still another room a
little smaller than the first. From this
narrow aisle sixty feet long and seven feet
high led northwest to a small opening OF
manhole. At the end of this last passage
there led off two openings about as large as
a stovepipe. Stamping on the ground
brought out the fact that another cavern
was underneath. The estimated depth
of the cave from the general surface is $50
feet

Discovered In st. Louis.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 17.-Representa-
tives Of the Hake family, who lay claim to
an English estate in chancery valued at
S45, ,000, 900, leave for London next week
prepared to prove their identity and secure
the estate In 1910 Herman Won Hake died
suddenly in Birmingham, England, leaving
an immense estate and no will. The property
consist ID chiefly of shipping interests. Mr..
yon Hake was native Of Holland. where he
had an heir in nephew. The court of chan
Gerry made an investigation aud discovered
that the nephew was dead and that two
sons had emigrated to America. Various
attempts were made to find the sons in
America, but they failed until a year ago.
Seers 81 Rockweller, a London firm OF So
licitors, succeeded in locating the brothers
here. They proved to be the heirs, but
Seers died In this country before he had an
opportunity to report in England. The
two Won Hakes who came from Holland to
st. Louis have passed away, but left four
sons who have large families, and who are
now the heirs. These young men pushed
their claims vigorously, and recently re-
ceived a cablegram to report at once In
London.
Louis Hake, one of the four brothers, who
was found at his place of business, No. SIT
paying lawyers fees and expenses, will
amount TO about S11, 100000 William
Hake, his brother, was deliberate in his
calculations on the amount he would re-
ceive, and placed his share at the same
figure. Louis Hake, Jr., is confident he
will soon be in possession Of portion Of
the wealth. ''If that lawyer wasn't pretty
sure that this thing was all right he
would never have sent us that cable
gram, prepaid too. Such men don't do
that kind of thing for fun" William
Hake, Jr., of the firm OF William Hake 81
Sons, commission dealers, talked quietly on
the subject of his prospective wealth.
"There may something happen, Of course,
which may keep US out of it, but as the
thing stands now do not see but what
everything is coming out all right for us.
We are the only heirs to this immense
property, and we have a sure thing in being
able to prove our right to the money!

COL. SWOPE A a HORSEMAN.

ana Won the Prize.
Ffonl Ihe LouisviIIe Colrier-Iolrnal.

From the Louisville Cotrier-Journdl
BOWLING GREEN, KY, Nov. 1.-The
recent tragic death Of Col. A. NJ Swope re-
calls to a gentleman of this city an interest
ing incident in which Col Swope was con-
spicuous actor. The incident referred to oc-
CARED in Greensburg, Ky, at the Green
county fair, in the fall of 1867. Col. Swope
was at the time slender, handsome young
man, and made a snowy, graceful appear
ance on horseback. At the Greensburg fair
he was In charge OF an unusually fine saddle
horse, owned by James H. Vivion, then Of
Lebanon, KY, but afterward a resident Of
this city for several years
This horse was exhibited by Col. Swope
at many fairs throughout She state, as we'll
as at Greensburg. Among other features
OF the fair was premium offered the best
and most graceful rider. When this ring
was called the only contestants for the prizs
were Col Swope and DIR. Wood Bowling,
nov of this city, but then resident OF Hart
county. IL was readily seen from the start
that the contest would be close and excit-
ing. Dr. Bowling, though of slighter build
than Swope, was Of elegant and graceful
form aud sat his horse as il his life had been
passed in the saddle, and certainly two more
graceful riders than he aud Swope never
contested for prize. The judges seemed
unable to arrive at decision. The riders
were made to change horses and ridesbare-
back, and after removing the saddle from
his horse DR.. Bowling sprang upon his ami
maPs back by simply placing one hand on
the neck OF his horse.
In brief, 1t will suffice to say that both
gentlemen demonstrated their horsemanship
to an extent never surpassed in this 81 ate Of
aceful riders The contest continued the
whole of ono afternoon, and the Judges
first selected repeatedly called in other
judges to aid them in arriving at decision,
and the prizs was finally awarded to Swope,
though evidently against the wishes OF the
large crowd present, for Bowling was tue
favorite with them, and certainly he was
perhaps the best horseman and fully as
grac sful as the other.
Time brings changes After this contest
Col. SwoDo became an able political leader
and DIR. Bowling an able aud useful physi-
clan, occupying in his profession "A position
no less conspicuous than that attained by
Col. Swope In his sphere

LOUD MOUTHED MRS PARSONS.

The Chicago Nuisance Again Ways
Her Incendiary Tongue.
CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-Mrs. Lucy Parsons
entertained the members Of the Arbeiter
Bund. who gathered at::the East Twelfth
street Turner hall yesterday afternoon,
with very lurid address. She abused the
police in terms that have become familiar
from frequent repetition, referred to the red
flag as the only banner that would lead to
freedom, and ventured into the realm of
theology as she spoke Of her dead husband
and child.
PARSONS DIDN'T KISS HIS BLACK BABY.
"Do you suppose they kissed each other
in the beautifully described hereafter?" she
said. "Bahl don't be deceived when So
called christians will tell you such things.
What we want are homes in this world, aud
let God, Christ and all religious function
aries take care Of themselves. This is the
teaching of anarchy, and, as such, it will
live. The principles of anarchy will pre-
vail, even though it takes blood to make
them supreme"
Mrs. Parsons was followed by Moritz
Schultz of New York, who spoke in Ger.
man. His talk was semi-political in its
character. He said the world at large
underestimated the number of anarchists
by half, aud all they needed to secure GER
tain success was united action.

REED NOW oN TIE SCENE.
he is Confident of Election to the
SpeakershiD.

0ROc1104 SA4AR.
W WASHINGTON, Nov. II. - Candidate
Thomas B. Reed arrived this morning, and
is comfortably established in his six-room
suite on the sixth floor of the Shoreham.
de saw some of his friends and supporters
this afternoon, and met others of them at a
dinner party which his chief lieutenant,
Representative Henry Cabot Lodge, gave
at his residence in Mr.. Reeds honor this
evening.
CONFIDENT OF ELECTION.
Mr.. Reed had very little to say for publi-
cation. and that little was conventional.
compared with Mr.. Reeds usual utterances,
de seems confident of his election to the
speakershlp, and relies not only upon the
information which his lieutenants give
him, but also upon his own knowledge Of
what members-elect have said they would
do.
NO PLEDGES GIVEN FOR VOTES.
Mr.. Reed has personally directed his own
canvass. The pledges of his supporters and
prospective supporters have in most cases
been made directly to him. In return he
says he has made no pledges whatever,
except that he will, if elected, do the best
he can to advance the interests of the
Republican party. But he has made, he
says, no promises of committee places.
This explains why he claims no southern
votes. They have been notoriously in the
market for the highest bidder. Mr.. Reed,
even when directly approached, would not
make bid.
STATES HE COUNTS ON.
MIR. Reed claims New England, New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the
Pacific coast and the new states on the
first ballot, to say nothing of scattering
votes. His claim of Pennsylvania is based
on assurances from Senators Quay and
Cameron, Chris Magee, and Messrs. King
ham and Bayne.
When the second choices come into play
provided Mr.. Reed is not elected without
them) Mr.. Reeds personal friendship will,
it is claimed, divide most of the western
delegations.
SATISFIED WITH HIS RECORD.
Mr.. Reeds answer to the charges against
his record, is that there is nothing in his
record which need prevent any republican,
east or west, from supporting him.
Meanwhile, Messrs. Cannon and Hender-
son and Burrows are hopeful, and Mr.. Nc
Kinley will be here in q few DAYS. most
hopeful of all, for Mr.. Mckinley is lying
low

Edison Finds Good Place for Phono-

graphs in Mexico.
New YORK, Nov. H.-Thomas A. Edi-
son has made a contract with the Mexican
government to furnish the postoffices Of the
republic with monographs, to be used for
the transmission of messages. In place Of
writing letter, a Mexican hereafter can say
what he wants to say to phonograph, and
the wax impression of his tone will be
forwarded to the postofflce nearest to the
residence of the person for whom the mes
sage is intended. The latter will be notified
on its arrival, and the message will be
ground out to him by the local phonograph.
As the vast majority of the Mexican popu-
lation cannot read well or write, it is be-
heved that the phonograph will be ex-
tensively used for correspondence. The
terms of the contract and other details can
not be obtained until Mr.. Edisons agent
returns from the City of Mexico.

ing prayer, after which the minutes
of the previous meeting were read
and adopted.a
Mr.. Squire then read from a report
showing why it is sometimes difficult
to keep the schools of Cecil county

this report it appears that the state
collects more tax for school purposes
from Cecil and one or two other
counties than it returns TO them,
while other counties receive more
than they pay.
