Ghostly Find in a Cave.

Last Friday Mr. Baker Ramsey, DR.
Sheed. d. S. Hare and myself were out
foX-hunting. writes a correspondent Of tue
Nashville American at fuckers Gross
Roads Our hounds were chasing fox
which passed near Mr.. Ramsey and entered
a small hole. We decided to dig the ami
mai out and found by moving a stone
that 1t would give considerable entrance to
the hole, large enough for a dog, if not a
man. to enter. The rock was moved and
Mr.. Ramsey entered the caven first. He
found that Il man could stand up and it
seemed to get larger.
Saturday morning we all met again with
lanterns and plenty of matches We be-
gan to descend in the cave We went
about 100 yards. when the ceiling seemed
to be about fifteen feet above our head: the
walls were as smooth as plank. We
came to a small creek, crossed it. and
about thirty yards from this creek we
found a pile of ashes. two oId-faSbioned
rifles. three pistols. one ladie and some
bullett-molds lying close by. One Of the
pistols had the letters NJ. s I. on the
handle. and on the wall was written NJ 5
Thomas, June ,. 1896.
in an entrance further or we found
there lay the skeletons of FIVE human be-
IugS. OF to one side lay a skeleton that
seemed to have been woman. for on her
right fore-hnger was plain gold ring, and
in the ring we're the letters-R VI to N
f.. 1Sk. Dr. Sheed took the ring of tha
skeleton finger. We also found one tooth
plug of gold. This cave Is on Dr. Blair
farm. and Is the most wonderful IN Wilson
county.

st. Petersburg. The ostensible object of
their visit to America is to lecture en- Rus
sian subjects, which discourses will be sup
plemented by the publication of articles in
the various newspapers Mandatory to the
car and his government. Already three
of these emisSaries have arrived in Ameri-

states. and the other is similarly engaged
in northern states, while the gentleman is
in Washington cultivating desirable ac-

articles. and taking a general survey of

REVOLVING TALE OF CRIME
Two Brothers Confess 10 Robberies
and 0utrages.
Arrested for One Crime and Their
Whole Career Unveiled.
Turn Traitor TO One Another Instead
of Being Silent.

DALLAS, Texas, April l0.-CharleS and
Commodore Miller. indicted for robbing
an express car on the Texas Il Pacific road
near this city a year ago, were placed on
trial today After the robbery no clue
could be found to the perpetrators. Sew
eral months later the Millers were arrested
for another crime Charles turned state'S
evidence and confessed that he and his
brother committed the express robbery;
had raped two women; robbed stores and
residences and sand-bagged pedestrians
The case has been tried from time TO
time but without coming to conviction or
acquittal. Commodore has always. until
today, maintained his innocence, but
when he learned Charles had turned state 5
evidence and would go free, he fastened
to confess himself and told of more crimes
than Charles had made known. This
caused a sensation in court and the case
was adjourned until the 18th.

The whole house Immediately broke forth
into roars OF laughter. which had the effect
to avert all trouble, which had seemed i'm

ATTACKS THE COURT.
Decision of the Supreme Court on the Bible
Case Denounced.

FoND DU Lac, Wis, April 1.-THE
Presbytery of Winnebago at its session
in this city gave almost unanimous vote
in favor of the revision of the Westminis-
ter confession of faith. 1t also attacked
the recent decision of the supreme court
pronouncing against Bible reading in the
public schools. The decision is declared
to be in violation of the historic
American position that the Bible
Is the source of our liberties and
the true standard of moral authority. The
decision that the Bible is a sectarian book
Is denounced as un unwarrantabe aSsump-
ton of fact, and the court is charged with
surrendering to an element adverse to
civil religion and moral welfare. The
pulpit and the press are called upon to de-
nounce the decision of the court and to
aid in educating public sentiment so as to
bring about au ultimate reversal of it.

At sunset we encamped. And what a
sunset There WAS still the same simpli-
city of the desert, for all the glory in sky
and mountain was not aided sy a single
cloud The west was brilliant with pure
gold. while the hills to the southeast glow
ed with FURNISHED blending of red and
blue Ike the bloom of a plum. Every
crag and valley stood out distinct, while
the outline of the range was sharply pen
cilled against the deep purple of the sky,
which changed lmperCeptlbly to a bIushIng
crimson and then paled upward to clear
star-pierced blue. Above our heads there
was no longer a rounded dome; it seemed
to dissolve into an infinite number of color
ed particles. each radiating d light of
purplish blue. Long, thin lines of shadow
were cast by the tiny sage-bushes as the
western light slanted over the plain. The
great wide plain. so silent all day, seemed
hushed to a more solemn stiffness.
Syrian twilights are short. and we
hustled about to get our little camp In
order before darkness should fall. Cots
were put up. the spirit-lamp set going,
and soon we were ready for bed after
hearty meal from our box. 1t was indeed
a curious experience, this trying to sleep
under the blazing stars. out alone in the
Syrian Desert. The air was cold, but per
fectly dry. The sound of the horses, as
they contentedly munched their barley
about our beds was pleasant to the ears.
One did not sleep much. The stars were
too beautiful for one thing. They seemed
to hang down out Of the sky like rounded
lamps. Then one would be falling into a
delicious doze. when suddenly his bed
would be jerked up into the air by the
horse that was tied TO it, Yusif would
call out "Deb!" to the refractory beast.
that would wake us all up for another look
at the stars. and then we would doze off
again. Only one thought troubled US.
We had come without the usual guard of
soldiers, and we longed to realize the risk.
Our imaginations. however, miserablY
failed US. even when we tried to stimulate
them by recalling the Bedouin raids which
had occurred on this very plain. 1t was
very notifying. The sense of security
would not be shaken of.-From ''Taamor

BERLIN, April 12.-The agitatian IN
Paris commercial circles, growing out of
the apprehension that the Mckinley tariff
administrative bill, if it should become a
law, would have serious effect upon the
business of exporting to the United States.
now has its counterpart in this
city. Many of the Berlin merchants in
terested in the expectation of goods to
America are seeking to bring influence to
bear for the purpose of having the bill
either greatly modified or altogether with
drawn. They assert that the measure, if
it goes into effect in its present form, will
strike fresh blow at the expectation of
German goods and manufactures to the
United States.
