COUNTY COMMITTEE.
Held in Henrico-New BODY TO
Meet at the Court House.

Mass-meetings were held in the four
townships in HenIico county, Yesterday, to
elect members 90 the Republican County
Committee. who will have charge of the ap-
proaching canvass. Each precinct in the
county is entitled TO three members. Inc
Republicans of Narina met at Town Han
and selected nine committeeman, there
icing three precincts in that township. In
Fairfield they met at WOodyllle ana elected
twelve: in Br0Okland at kelly's store and
selected nine. and in TuckahOe twelve rep
resentatiyes were elected at Hams store.
The men elected will meet to-day noon at
the county courthouse. TO elect chairman
and reOrganize the party. Mr.. j. W. south
ward is the chairman of last years COM
mittee. and Mr.. EMS DickersOn, Jr., secre-
tary. 1t could not be learned yesterday
whether Mr.. Southwark would be reelected
to-day. His name has been prominently
mentioned as the Republican candidate for
this district. and it is hard TO foreshadow
what will be done.
In speaking of the committee meeting To-
day. a prominent Republican OF the county
said Yesterday: 81 do not know whether
the subject of having a convention and NOM
mating a representative will be discussed
at the new committees first meeting. The
Republicans of the district are aware, how
ever, that something should be done. In
Henrico the greatest portion of the Republi-
cans are in favor Of putting up a man, for it
is argued that it is better to nominate a
representative, and let the people vote, thus
keeping the party together, than to let the
party become disOrganized. OF course
there are many Republicans that think they
can win the fight, and are crying for can
didate TO vote for, but the most sensible are
not in such a hurry.

THE DEVILS DEN.
Queer Stories Told About "A Remarkable
Florida Cavern.

The cave near Joseph Dee's in Hamilton
county, known as the DEVILS Den. has ever
been mystery. No one now living has
ever explored its depths, and many curious
tales are told in connection with il. The
editor of the Jasper News has gone 10 il al
least half dozen times, with the express
purpose of exploring It. but, upon reaching
It's opening, deep down in dark raylnc,
OyershadOwed by tall pines and spreading
oaks, feeling the cold. chilly current Of air
that is peculiar to the place, listening to the
dripping waters echoing in the cayernous
depths, viewing the Oyerhanging rocks
which seem ready 10 give way and fail, and
the impenetrable darkness OF the cavern, all
combined, have never failed to produce
feeling of awe that would soon Tipen into
fear. and cause him to get away from the
place faster than he went.
Ii is related in the early history Of the
country old Uncle Billy Bassett once
happened to pass That way at a late hour
in the night. Ii was brilliantly lighted up.
and the sounds Of music and reyery were
heard therein. He knowing nothing of the
cave, joyiully supposed that he was ap-
preaching some house where he could oh.
tain rest for the night. Going down into the
rayine he followed its course Till upon turn
ing an angle of rock he came full upon the
mouth of the cavern, an opening some
twelve feet high and twenty wide. iie
took one look at the scene within. and IL
cOntinently fled from the spot with the
speed Of frightened deer. lie said that
on high ledge Of rock four or five UNI
cOoth looking characters were clustered.
making music on instruments that he was
unacquainted with, while on the fl0or any
number of naked yellow devils seven feet
high were dancing with might and main.
Ever since that time it has been called the
DEVILS Den.
Another story is that during the war IL
was occupied as refuge and hiding place
for deserters. One of them one day con-
cluded that, TO pass away the time, which
was hanging heavily on his hands, he would
explore the cave and see what ii contained.
Up 10. this time its occupants had never
gone over thirty or forty yards into it. so
procuring good torch and accompanied
by a companion, he set ont or rather in, on a
voyage Of discovery. AT a distance Of sew
enty or eighty yards they came across hun
dres Of skeletons Of human beings, which
so terrified them that they quit the cave en-
tirely, prelerring IA life in the army to an
abode with the dead in that lonely cavern

ION CRUISES CAREER.
A story That illustrates the Ups and
Downs of Western Life. q

The history of the thrce-milliOnaire
banker Of Helena, Mon, Thomas Cruise,
illustrates the ups and downs of Western
life. and sets in strong contrast the two eX-
tremes Of absolute, grOyeling poverty and
extraordinary ailluence.
"Six years ago Tom Cruise" says Thomas
NJ. Long, "was only common, ordinary
laborer, prospect0r and miner. lie had
spent almost his last nickle, was out OF
luck, and, being out OF money. 1t naturally
follows he had very few friends. Indeed.
he was so poor that ! well remember the
day when he was actually refused credit
for ffty-pound sack of Hour lie did
odd Jobs about tOwn-anything 80 long
as he turned an honest dollar. one
day he took tramp into the noun
tains. When he came back to town
he astonished every body by reporting
the discovery of what had since
turned out TO be one of the richest silver
mines in Montana. lie pre-empted the
place and made everything solid IN his own
name. This mine was the famous Drum
LummOnd, in the mountain near Maysillle,
twentv-one miles from Helena. \ syndi-
cate Of capitalists. hearing Of his great
find. went out to investigate it, The result
far surpassed even their expectations, and
on their way back TO town they sought old
man Cruise. Would he sell the mine! Yes.
How much Five hundred thousand dol
lars spot cash. That was too much, they
thought. well. gentlemen. if you think it
is too much don't take it. said Cruise.
This offer is good until noon, but no longer.
I'll have another price on il after that
They thought he was bluiling. The neNi
day. after further investigation. they came
pack to Cruise. They told the old man they
were ready to pay the $4,000 and for him
to'draw up the papers. My price to-day l.
81, 900. 900, boys said Cruise. OF course
there was no deal possible under the cir
cumstances. Cruise could then get all the
capital he wanted TO work his mine. Before
three months had passed he had pulled out
100000 worth Of ore, and there was still
unlimited quantities millions. in iact-in
sight. The syndicate came back 10 him and
actually paid over 81, 100000 for twO-third
interest i'm the Drum Hammond.
.Since that time Cruise has bought other
mines. the Iron Mountain, for instance, ~
the Cmur d'Alcne region, and others. lie

he is called, is a good old fellow, who de-
lights now in talking about his hard times.
When he came to Montana six years ago he
walked all the way from salt Lake city.
