a Story of a Gave.
From the Philadelphin Pros, hi

From the Philadelphia Press Julv21.
Exploration just made of cavern on the
Stewart farm, about two miles from Par
nassus, Armstrong county, has revealed
subterranean passages of somewhat re-
markable character. The entrance is a per
pendlcular opening about twenty feet in
depth. At the bottom the place had the
appearance Of an inverted cone, with about
one-thlrd OF the apex and part of the side
cut Off, and measuring about twenty-four
feet at the base. The walls are of a dark
gray color, rather smooth. From here a
corridor about four feet wide and three
feet high leads for several yards
to room where the light reveals
scene of grandeur. Stalagmites and
stalactites are in profusion, and in shapes
and forms to almost equal those Of the
Mammoth cave. The chamber is about
sixty-hve long by thirty feet wide. and the
furthest end terminates in a deep pool of
water. This pond is perhaps fifteen feet
wide. The water is pure as crystal. No
living thing was seen by the explorers
except peculiar-striped crusta can animal
about one inch in length, resembling a crab.
but of dull yellowlsh color The temper-
allure registered about 59o In one corner
Of the first cavern were found a few speci
mems of arrow heads and an iron knife, but
nothing else to denote that a human being
bad ever entered before. Further than the
pool exploration was not made. A com
plete investigation will be undertaken bv
persons who have secured the land.

The continental cantonment and triennial
parade of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows of the United States will take place

and official arrangements as published by
the committees in charge of the affair show
that it will be undoubtedly the largest
gathering of the members of the order
which has ever been held in this country.
To give some idea of on what scale the
celebration is to be conducted, it may be men
toned that the prizes contributed by vari-
GUS firms and companies throughout the
country amount in value to the sum of
S27 900, aud that the sum of $4,000 has
been raised for the expenses alone Of the

TO BE SETTLED TONIGHT.
THE MASS MEETING PROMISES TO
BE a LIVELY ONE.

Mai. Eyals, William Clifton, G. W.
Owens and Gazaway Hartridge the
Leading Candidetes-M. Bernhardt's
Friends Making a Vigorous Fight
for Him-The Knights of Labor to
Turn Out for Col Lester.
The county mass meeting to nominate
Q legislative ticket aud to select delegates
to the senatorial. congressional and guber-
material conventions will be held in the
theater tonight.
The selection of the various dele
cations is a matter Of comparatively
little interest. The make up of the legisla-
tive ticket is where the interest centers. The
nomination of Maj. G. NJ. Ryals and VIM.
Clifton is conceded. Gazaway Hartridge,
ESQ.,, and George w. Owens, Esq, are the
leading candidates for third place. C. F.
NJ Bernhardt is also being vigorously
pushed by his friends. Alderman Faligant
was in the field, but, in view of the fact
that his nomination would involve his
resignation from the city council, he Is
practically out of the race. ID. A. O'Byrne,
Esq, is the fifth candidate.
MIR. Hartridge was in the legislature OF
1SS4-S5, and his friends are counting upon
as u Aho
was full Of political talk last night, but
beyond the nomination Of Maj. Ryals and
Mr.. Clifton nobody seemed to know just
who would he on the ticket, although Mr..
Hartridge's and Mr.. Owens were freely
talked of.
Mr.. Bernhardt's strength seems to be with
the railroad men, and that is divided. The
knights of Labor have not Endorsed Mr..
Bernhardt and are not supporting him as a
body. The secretary of one OF their assem-
blies said last night that he is not wholly
the candidate of the labor element, and his
name will not be presented to the mass
meeting by them. The usual talk of slate
ticket was heard yesterday and last
night, but most of the candidates seem to
be off1sh to a combination and were relying
upon their individual strength.
The mass meeting promises 10 be lively
one. Up to within day or two there has
not been a great deal of interest in the
matter, but yesterday tickets were being
made up in the streets, in the hotels and in
the groceries.
The Knights of Labor will be on hand
tonight out of friendship for Col Lester to
add their endorsement as an organization
to that of the mass meeting.

A FEARLESS ORGAN.
Hiding Republican Profligecy by a
Device in Book eeping.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat (Rep).
To permit the government to escape the
humiliation and embarrassment of a deficit,
a device in treasury bookkeeping which was
not looked for, and which was not available
a few weeks ago, will apparently have to be
resorted to. The bank note redemption
fund of about s55. 100000, which the new
silver law releases, will have to be drawn
on in order that the government may escape
the disg ace aud dIscredit of insolvency.
Even the most reckless and obtuse of the
republican members of congress should
begin to understand by this time that the
party, in its management of the fiscal affairs
of the nation, is pressing perilously close to
the danger line.
There is a probability, of course, that
this narrow escape from financial wreck
may teach the republican leaders in the
national legislatu an important and
valuable lesson. At all events, if the con-
trolling party during the session next VIM
ter, in which the management of the affairs
of the government for the fiscal year imme-
dlately preceding the presidential election is
to be provided for, shows in the matter of
appropriations the CO temp, for the dictates
of reason and the lessons of experience dis
played in the present session, disaster at the
polls can hardly be averted.

THE COTTON CORNER.
Cotton Men Don't Take Much Stock
in it.

Savannah cotton men do not take much
stock in the alleged stupendous corner in
cotton, and they are not interested to an
uncomfortable extent in August deliveries
1t is not believed that the corner will mate
rialize. Cotton men in other cities do not
take any more stock in the corner than
cotton men here do.
Charleston shippers views show how
the corner movement is looked upon there:
1T could be arranged, Of course, by the
buying up of the $4,000 bales in New York
and then making the demands peremptory
for August cotton, not more than $4,000
bales of which will be on the market from
the south But no one believes that there
will be corner, and don't think there is
a man who has sold single August future.
The actual crop this year in South Carolina
will be big enough to handle.n

The Average temperature Below
That of July a Year ago.
Notwithstanding the fact that there were
several very warm days last month, it was
really a cool July, and the general tempera-
ture was far below the usual record for the
month.
The favorable conditions which have ex-
lsted along the Atlantic coast during the
last twenty days, and the rainy spell which
set in about two weeks ago, account in part
for the low temperature Of the month
Below is a comparison of the maximum

very little cooler than July, 1889, as the

A Use for Broken Bricks.

In every brick yard and around every
new building there accumulates large
quantity of broken bricks for which there
is no present use, and which are usually
consigned to the dump along with other
debris. There is a purpose, however, for
which much if not all of this brick waste
might be utilized. In Cuba and some of
the other Spanish countries ordinary brick
dust, made from hard burned and finely
powdered bricks, is mixed with common
lime and sand, and used as substitute for
hydraulic cement.
An American engineer, whose long resi-
dence in Cuba afforded him ample oppor-
tunities for testing its merits, says that he
found this mixture in all respects superior
to the best Rosendale hydraulic cement for
culverts, drains, tanks, cisterns and even
for roofs. In the course of experiments
with this brick dust cement block of the
mixture half an inch in thickness, made
without sand, was immersed in water for
four months, and upon removal at the end
of that time it bore pressure of fifteen
pounds per square inch without crushing
or splitting Philadelphia Record.
