THE pREArn1Ne GAVE.
One of the Most Singular Phenomenon
I'm Nature

III NNtuIts
From me NashciHe AmericdB.
In the range of mountains in Western
North Carolina, known as the Fork
Range" most singular phenomenon
exists. 1t is the Breathing Cave. |"
In the summer months current of air
comes from it so strongly that person
cannot walk against 1t, while in the
winter the rush of air inward Is Just as
great.
The cool air from the cave in summer
is felt sometimes for miles in direct
line from the mouth of the cave. At
times most unpleasant odor is emitted
upon the current from dead animals
sucked in and killed by coming in vio-
lent contact with the walls The loss of
cattle and other stock in that section
during the winter months is always
great, and is accounted for in this way:
They range too near the mouth of the
cave, and the current carries them in.
At times, when the change from in.
halation to eXhalatlon begins, the air is
filled with hairs Of the various animals
not infrequently small dry bones have
been carried for over mile from the
mouth of the cave as though shot from
an air gun. The air has been known
TO change quite suddenly during exha-
lation from cold to quite hot, accom-
panied by q terrible roaring and CUR
Cling sound
Many scientific men have visited the
place, but the phenomenon still re-
mains unexplained; the residents of
that section fear a volcanic eruption.
Something is wrong, sure.

Told For Enert

Correspondence Chicago Inter ocean,
Most of the reports about the fears of
the Gar for his life are a mere fabri-
cation prepared by the German and
English diplomacy; then / know that
the rulers of Germany and Austria
make the same precautions for safety,
when they travel, as it is said about
the Gar. can assure you that |
know something about it out of expe-
ence and a twenty-five years obser-
walton.
The cry of Russian brutality and
savageness is without any serious
foundation and invented only by Ger
many's employees to hurt the reputation
Of the Slavic race before the nations of
the world The American press should
be more just and inquisitive before
giving so extensive circulations to such
matter about a nation so friendly to this
Republic, and which has made itself
very serviceable to us in hours of
distress.

walker Defeats Goodwin in Regula
Slugging Match.

oiuEsibB IuHNcns
The long.expected mill between
James Goodwin and Charley Walker,
two local middle-weights, for q purse of
800, took place last evening and turned
out to be brutal slugging match,
neither man having particle of sci
ence, and biting, clinching and gouging
being freely INDUCED in. Only two
rounds were fought, when the battle was
awarded to Walker on foul
Nearly 200 persons witnessed the
fight. just before ii commenced Good
win advanced to the centre Of the ring
and offered to bet $50 on himself The
bet was promptly covered by Walker
and the money placed in the hands of
the referee AS no agreement had been
drawn up between the men it was de.
cided that the fight would be under no
rules, but would be to a finish.
In the first round both men went at it
hammer and tongs, and fought wildly.
Goodwin hammered Walkers face until
it resembled raw beefsteak. The lat
ter meanwhile chewed vigorously on
his opponents fingers, which led to
Goodwin's making an attempt to gouge
out Walkers eye. Claims of foul were
set up, but not allowed, and at the end
Of the round both men were covered
with blood.
In the second round the same tactics
were renewed. Both were biting, kick
ing ard gouging to their hearts con
tent At length the crowd interfered,
when Goodwin was making an unusu-
ally vigorous attempt to remove his op-
ponents eye, and foI few moments
the scene of the fight was q pandemo.
mum. Finally the referee awarded the
fight to Walker on a foul. Both men
were badly punished and their faces
presented horrible appearance.

GRACE OTIS CAREER.
Driven to Life of shame by A Worth
less Husband


1t now develops that Grace OTIS
proper name is Grace Jefferson and she
Is the daughter of worthy and respected
parents in Pennsylvania. They are not
aware of the charge under which she
has been convicted in the Criminal
Court, but do know that her life In
Washington has not conformed to their
wishes or ideas.
They are very anxious that she
should come home Immediately, and
letters are being received by her re-
peatedly, asking why she delays. This
woman, known rs Grace OFT in Wash
ington, Is not credited with having o
bad reputation beyond the fact that
she had given herself up to
n life of shame. Her completely
in the theft of Marcellus Vests money
is the first charge of criminal nature
that has been brought against her.
Grace Jefferson attributes her downfall
to a drunken and worthless husband,
= no, she says, is now q deserter from
the Marines. He has been to
see her but once since she has been
confined in jail and will probably not
call there again under fear of being
taken in custody and turned over to the
Government. If what Grace Jefferson
says about this man be true he ranks
low down in the scale of degraded hu.
manitv.
Shortly after they were married
Jefferson took her to the house of his
mother in Philadelphia, where the
young wife was required to do all the
housework, and at nights compelled to
solicit trade upon the streets in order
TO supply her worthless husband with
money to use for drink.
If she did not succeed in this direc-
ton she was frequently beaten, and
subjected to other brutal treatment.
Naturally tired Of this mode of life,
Grace Jefferson left the man who de-
based her for the purpose of obtaining
money with which to continue his
sprees, and came to Washington, where
she has remained ever since. The
worthless fellow followed her, but she
had little to do with him here.
a new trial having been refused her,
an effort will be made on Saturday to
have sentence suspended, with the un-
derstanding that the wayward Grace
shall return Immediately to her home
in Pennsylvania and mend her mode Of
life.
