Swallowed Up by Mother Earth.

A Springfield (Ohio) special to the New York
Herald gays: John Shersmidt, local sports
man, while hunting on Daniel Bakers farm,
north of here, yesterday, stepped on to little
knoll, when the ground gave way and he was
precipitated into cave eighteen feet deep
and twenty feet square. He was imprisoned in
it day. His cries attracted the attention Of
a passing dog. whose strange demonstrations
brought people near by to the scene. A pick,
shovel and trowel covered with rust were found
in the cave. How they got there is a mystery.

LETTER CARRIERS ON WHEELS
The Bicycle Corps Of the City Post Of

nc bicycle corps Oh the Clty fOSt O1s
flee Force Attracting Attention.
Visitors in Washington nowadays appear to
be very much interested at sight of the letter
carriers mounted on bicycles and fitting hither
and yon with their little bags firmly strapped
TO the handle bars of their machines This is
really not a new sight in this city, though it is
only recently that any considerable number of
the carriers have been placed atop of two
wheels. For several years past some of the
more enterprisng among them have been
riders and supplied their wheels to the
public service at their own expense.
Not quite two years ago the expert
ment Of placing collectors on wheels
was tried and with great success. An allow
ance of s75 year per man was made for the
purchase and care of machines and a number
OF tricycles were introduced. The success Of
tho scheme was assured from the start, al
though 1t soon became evident that bicycles
were the more convenient and offered greater
number of advantages. The system Of making
an annual allowance has now been discontin-
ued and this fall a number of bicycles were
bought outright and put to work on the LIST of
November.
BICYCLES DIsPLACE THE oSE-HoRsE CARTS.
Bicycles have almost entirely displaced the
one-horse carts for collectors, except in the
suburbs and in the heart Of the business Sec
ton. where the collections are too heavy for
the wheelmen. There now in all twenty
four mounted collectors and the hours of duty
are from am. to 9 m, the force of men be-
ing divided up into two reliefs, SO that no one,
OF course, has to work all that time. bicycle is
cheaper than a cart and horse both at the out
set and ever afterward. and some of the men
are said to prefer pushing to driving. There
are always some men who do not like horses
and these are pleased with the innovation
This satisfaction Is not universal, however for
some men are only too glad 10 have the chance
TO drive and care for horse. They would
rather drive than push.
MOUNTED MEN MORE EFFICIENT.
Not all the work of collection, however, is
done by mounted men for on certain of their
trips the regular letter carriers collect as they
go. But compared with collectors ON foot
the mounted men are much the more valuable
Ii has been the experience at the Washington
post office that two men on wheels can do the
work OF three men OIL foot. The new system
Is a success and has evidently come to stay.

The Parker Divorce Case.

In the case of G. Thomas Parker against
Ellen NJ. Parker the complainant has by L. NJ.
Fields and A. II. Bell filed an amended bill. In
this he states that the marriage was on October
10. 1885. and they lived together till September
last. at which time he learned that defendant
was not and had not for some time previously
been conducting herself as a true and chaste
wife. He reiteratcs the statements charging
his wife with infdelity, alleging various occa-
sions when she met Gustayus Il. Brown.

THE REVOLT IN HONDURAS.
Central America Unable to Keep Quiet
Any Longer.

ANY LONGER
The revolution, which has been gaining head
way since the conclusion of the war between
Salvador and Guatemala, has broken out in
Honduras. Tagucignalpa is in a state of seige.
Geographic communication direct with the cap
ital has been interrupted and it is believed that
the wires have been cut. The Salvador gov
eminent have received several dispatches in
regard to the affair. One is to the effect that
on Friday last part of tho garrison of Taguci-
galpa revolted and under the leadership Of
Gen. Longino Sanchez took possession after
hard fighting of the capitol building and
arsenal Since then street skrmishing has
been of daily occurrence and Sanchez and his
forces now have President Luis Bogran sur
rounded in one of the wards of the city and it
is believed that he will be forced to surrender,
unless other garrisons arrive ut the scene Of
the revolt within two or three days. Tho gar
risons OF inspection on the Salvadorian and
Nicaraguan frontiers are being pushed toward
soldiers being left behind to prevent, il posi-
BILE, uprisings.
AID FOR SANCHEZ.
IISeveral other army men are hurrying with
their forces to aid Sanchez. 1t is believed the
revolution will become general and that Bogran
will be forced, if not captured, to leave the
country. The garrisons now on the way to
help Bogran may revolt, as general discomfort
prevails among them which is only kept i'll
check by the officers in command Bogran has
been regarded as the tool of Barillas, and has
successfully bankrupted the country. II Bogran
falls there il possibility that the country will
by common consent. be divided between Guate-
msla, Salvador and Nicaragua.
Presidents Sacaza and EZeta have increased
their frontier garrisons and have instructed
their commanders not to allow any armed force
to gather for the purpose Of invading Honduras.
They will maintain a strict neutrality in the
present internal strife.
Private advices from tho city of Guatemala
just received here put grave aspect upon the
revolution in Honduras. 1t is believed that
Darillas will attempt to aid his old ally Bogran,
and in doing so will precipitate a general war
in Central America. The greatest uneasiness
prevails in Guatemala, and the movements of
Barillas watched with suspicion Minister
Miner has been sending long dispatches to
his government.
TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER AT THE CAPITAL.
The New York Herdlds San Salvador special
says: President Ezeta i'll an interview yester-
day fully confirmed the reported revolution in
Tegucigalpa and said that the slaughter in the
taking of the state building and arsenal WAS
very heavy. EZeta said he would remain
neutral, but could not allow Barrillas to in
terfere in the troubles there. Tho present
affair remained for its people alone to solve,
and Guatamela must keep aloof Ezeta ex-
pressed the hope that the revolution would
soon be over and deprecated general war
in Central America, which would possibly
follow if Barrillas attempted to interfere in the
present strife,

MOUNT VERNON AvENUE.-Mr. NJ. B. Harlow,
the city treasurer. who originated the Mount
Vernon avenue enterprise, says that the new
executive committee of the Mount Vernon Ave-
nue. Association will leave no stone unturned
to have at least portion of the avenue opened
at an early day. After fhe road has been laid
out and the land for il in Alexandria county ac-
CURED by donation or condemnation
aid will be asked, at the rate of $4,000 per mile
of Alexandria county. $4,000 having been OBJ
tanned in this way, the corporation of Alexan-
dria will be asked to assist TO the amount Of
$4,000 which it is authorized to do by the
Mount Vernon avenue charter. This $4,000
was supposed to be required to be used on
Washington street, but it may be used any,
where that the corporation of Alexandra
votes to it. Committees will
be constantly at the Capitol to urge Congress
to pay the claim of $4,000 assigned by the
state of Virginia to the ASSOCIATION and, al
though this claim has now risen to about
SSOO,O00 by interest, compromise for 100000
will, if need be, be accepted. After the line as
a plain roadway is completed to Alexandria the
work begun will be pushed but IT Is thought

court in New York yesterday to learn
whether some measures could not be
taken to secure him protection from Justin
Gregore, Frenchman, who has been threat

that the consul general is bound to support
Hospital to be examined as to his sanity. The
consul understood that he had been pro-
nounced sane and he asked that Gregoirs be
placed under bonds to keep the peace. The
consul learned that the physicians at Bellevue
intend to examine Gregoire further. He said
he would pay Gregoire's passage and also the

The TELEGRAM-H HERALD this morning
INDUCES in bitter attack on Mr.. +. W.
Ball, of the Democrat, 10y inference at
least, suggesting that he compelled Mr..
Geo. 5. Toot, as his emplOye, TO permit
the publication of the letter from his
son, Clarence j. loot. Mr.. loot dis
tinctly declared to the representative
of the Eagle, who visited him yesterday,
that he felt that it was better to have
the letter thus made public before Clar-
ence shall come home, and the facts
understood, than to wait until then.
and in his view the great majority of
Clarence's friends will concide.-Edgle.
That is all very well, but does it not
seem that George 5. loot, having once
given his consent to the publication of
his sons private letter, can not stultify
himself; dare not, in fact, deny that he
gave his permission for It's appearance
in the columns OF the Democrot' The
question the public Is propounding to-
day is: If f. w. Ball had not seen noI
known of the existence of Clarence
letter; if Geo. :. loot had received IT a,
his own proper and private mail, would
ne have rendered it to the Democrat fol
publication?
