Half dozen of our lads have lately
mad the cave craze. They have been
reading dime literature and became the
slaves of an intense desire TO become
robbers and live in caves One day a
few weeks since they took shovels, picks
and hoes and went into piece of woods
near the city, and without even think
ing whose the property might be, began
to dig a cave. A hole four feet SQUARE
and seven feet deep was dug. AT the
bottom the hole was widened to nearly
eight feet. Over this was placed old
planks and brush and leaves, so that the
cave" was completely hidden. Here
they crawled into their wild abode
and imagined all sorts of terrible things
of themselves.
About week ago the owner of the
woods happened to be going by the spot
and noticed smoke rising from the
ground. He poked around in the leaves
and discovered the boys smoking ciga-
rettes, What are you doing down
thereF he called. I'VE are robbers and
well cut your throat" said one youthful
voice. mo we amt either, said another
rather frightened boy; we're only bows
and we won't hurt you This is our
cave"
The owner of the land made the bows
get up out of the pit, and while they
were crawling up cut brace of birches.
But when six lads in knee pants stood
before him he relented and punished
them by making them Immediately take
shovels and fill up the hole, into which
some of his cattle might have fallen and
broken their necks.-Lewiston Journal

An Auburn business man and a friend
were out hunting the other day A bic
hawk flew over their heads and thew
blazed away at him The shot broke
the BIRDS wing and he came to the
ground, allghting on his back He was
unable to turn over and get upon his
feet, but was lively just the same, as the
Auburn hunters found before they sue
ceeded in killing him.
The business man placed the ramrod
OF his gun in the hawks big, grasping
claws, all of which straightaway closed
IKE the jaws of an enraged mud turtle
swapping at a stick in the hands of mis-
chievous boy. With the claws TINS
taken care of the business mans friend
proceeded to wiring the birds neck. In
the earlier stages of the operation the
harder the friend worked the tighter
would the hawk grasp the iron ramrod
and flap its wings
All this was fun for the hunters, who
after long struggle declared them
selves winners of the scrap They had
hardly so proclaimed when the bird got
his wind, and leaving the ramrod vi
ciously attacked his prosecutors.
As fate would have it, the business
mans friend, being nearest, was the first
to catch it. The hawk lighted ON his
wrist, and the way he stuck there was a
caution One claw sunk deep into the
hunters wrist, and he called loud and
long for mercy.
The business man, seeing that some
thing must be done at the risk of his
life, finally went to his friends rescue.
de got good hold on the sunken claw,
oraced his feet against rock, and was
successful in pulling it out. AS the
claw came out, the hawk fell back and
in a moment was still in death. They
found that the birds wings measured !
three feet and ten inches from tip to tip.

Hunting with Trained Bald Eagles.

An Indian boy belonging to the Siou,
tribe has pair of pets which are moi
only strange and interesting, but are
useful as well These are two large bali
eagles
The young Indians are fond of hunt
ing, but are not allowed to own or carry
guns, and the result is that they are
compelled to use the bow and arrow.
which they use with great experiences.
The boy shot an old eagle and wounded
II. 1t flew to its nest, and he followed
until he saw where the home of the bird
was He then killed the wounded bird
and waited until its mate appeared and
also killed it.
Climbing to the nest he found two
young ones, which he took home with
hun and began a course of training
which has resulted in his having the
birds so fully under control that they
come and go at his command. He takes
them out, and when he sights any quar-
ny he turns his eagles loose, after fasten-
mig their beaks so that they cannot eat
the animal, and the birds Immediately
give chase and bring down the prey.
The eagles are now about year and
half old, and are large and strong enough
70 bring down fawn.
The boy is the most successful hunter
of the tribe, and never goes out without
bringing home some game, from a rab-
bit to a deer. The officers at this place
want the eagles, and have offered the
boy what probably appeared to him to
be fabulous sums for them, but he stead
ny refuses all offers.-Cor Boston Globe.

POLITICS IN THE SOUTH.
Federal Officeholders Have Received Or
ders to Work for Harrison

Federal Of1ceholders Have Received Or
ders to Work for Harrison.
Bishop Arnett, of the African NJ E.
Church for South Carolina and Florida, was
at the depot last evening going south. He
had been to Xenia to see his family. Mr..
Arnett was formerly member of the Ohio
Legislature, and he hasn't lost all interest
in politics In South Carolina, he SAYS,
there are number of colored Democrats,
and their votes are always counted. The
Republicans are red-hot for Blaine at heart,
but they are controlled by the officeholders,
who have received their orders to work for
the reelection of Harrison. In the last
gubernatorial contest between Haskell and
Tillman many people were so dlsgusted that
they wouldn't vote.
''The colored people are improving
rapidly" continued the Bishop. "If left
alone we will work out our own salvation
In South Carolina most of the work is done
bv colored men, and they are saving their
money. Some are buying property, and
giving their children fine educations. 1 am
interested in building schools, and find the
white people tavorably disposed and willing
to help us. Recently an improvement COM
pany loaned me s10,O to build hall in
Columbia for the Allen University. This
shows that not all Southern people are op-
posed to the colored man."

NOT a KOREsHAN,
The Late David r. Crees Died as He Lived,
a Latter Day Saint.

The Late David f. Crees Died as He Lived,
Latter Day Saint.
ECONOMY, PA, Jan. 15.-[ Special. 1.-Two
or three days ago your columns contained an
account of the death of David T. Crees,
brother-in-law of Trustee John S. Duss, at
this place, which was erroneous in some
particulars 1t stated that he was Kore-
shan, that he died of asthmatic trouble and
was only 40 years old. Mr.. Crees never was
a Koreshan at all, but a monogamic Latter
Day Saint instead. Up to within a
few weeks of his death he ridi-
culed and denounced Koreshanity and Teed
as much as anyone could. He said many
times during the last month or so of his life
that he had got tired of discussing Koresh,
the arch pretender. He was buried accord
ing to the service and ceremony of the L.
d. S. Church. 1t was enlargement of the
heart, resulting from the grin, that caused
his death. He leaves Wi "a. a mother, two
grown sons, two sisters. Nj John S. Duss
and Mrs George f. Ward, all living in
Beaver county, and a brother in Mankato,
Kan.
1t has been stated in the papers that
Ralph Crees, his elder son, is or was a
Koreshan. Nothing is farther from the
fact, although he did live few weeks in
the koreshan unity in Chicago Ralph's
mother has also been charged with being a
Koreshan. The facts are that after she
came to Economy she was made to believe
that if she did not commit herself to
Koreshanity, either pretendedly or sim
cerely, she could not remain there. She
accordingly did so, and being a noble,
conscientious woman, she has worried over
it till it has really made her seriously sick
with nervous prostration.

LOCAL BASEBALL GOSSIP.


A Prominent Stockhclder Getting Tired of
the Clubs Strange Proceedings.
Manager Buckenb nberger, OF the local ball
club, was in the city yesterday and returned
to Wheeling last evening. He was sur
prised at the strange action of President
Temple in so suddenly relinquishing all
claim on Grimm. But the baseball public
generally is in deep wonderment at the
peculiar policy of the new President. 1t
was authoritatively stated Yesterday that
one of the wealthy stockholders of the club
is tired Of the fun, and desires to wash his
hands OF the business The gentleman in
question has been a great supporter of the
local club for years. The blunders that are
being made are very tiresome to him.
Manager Buckenberger stated that he is
not going after any new players at present,
and Vice President Kerr confirmed the
story. But President Temple is quoted as
saying that several young pitchers are to be
signed, so that we may soon have two or
three dozen pitchers here. The next move
of the new President may be to sign several
new teams Some clubs think it quite an
effort to keep one or two young pitchers.
but Pittsburg is always to the front and will
have several Of them. Already this
year Pittsburg has made quite record, as
its club and its clubs policy are talked of
throughout the length and breadth of the
land

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH,l
DUNBAR, Jan. 15.-Within the next few
davs the mystery of the Hill farm mine and
of % entombed miners will be unveiled.
Within that time the miners who have
been working stubbornly for months are
expected to penetrate the right heading,
where % miners are known to have been
imprisoned on that fatal june morning in
1890 In the dip heading it is now known
that the other seven men of the 90 met their
fate
All these months Mine Boss Doran has
been patiently at work with his forces,
limiting the fire and lowering the waters,
until now the Ere is found to be compressed
within q small area, though it will take
perhaps years to finally e1tinguish it. The
cost to the Dunbar Furnace Company has
already been enormous, but the work is
now nearing completion. The manway has
been nearly cleared, and water is now
being pumped from the headings. The
water pumps at the bottom of the slope
have been found intact though slightly
ruSted. Months are vet to be consumed be-
fore the mine will be entirely cleared of
water
In June, 1890, the Dunbar Furnace Com
pany decided TO put down a bore hole.
June 16 the hole was $40 ieet deep, and
Miner ,yonn Kerwin was ordered by Super
intondeut Lang 10 break down the two feet
remaining between the mine and the bore
hole. Kerwin did so, and the water which
had accumulated in the hole began rushing
ont with an odor Of escaping gas. Willie
FSvs, a trapper boy, rushed down the
slope to warn his father and the other
miners, carving an open light. The gas
ignited. In a moment the brattice work
caught fire, followed quickly BY an explo-
sion. The entire slope was a mass Of

Fair Share OF Fiums.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-[ Special. THE
rumor published yesterday that the Brook
lyn Baseball Club might play its games this
season at the Washington Park ground
proved something in the nature of sur
prise. On inquiry, however, it was learned
that there was little ground for the state
ment. Mr.. Byrne laughed heartily when
his attention was called to the rumor, and
then said:
81 hardly think the matter is worthy of
notice The officials of the club have never
even discussed the question of returning to
Washington Park. This is only on par
with several other silly stories prompted by
malice, or something worse, to iniure the
Brooklyn club. The championship games
of 1892 will be played at Eastern Park,
which is now the home of the Brooklyn
club, and will continue to be SUCH
GLOW about the League scheduled" was
asked.
"All the League clubs have written me in
favor of one of 154 games, and Mr.. Ebbetts
and myself are now engaged in drawing one
up which will be presented to the League at
the March meeting for approval and adop-
tion. The double championship season will
prevail, anu L tnInk IL Will De success.
There will be an equal distribution of all
the 'plums, and think everyone will be
satisfied"
"When will the two Brooklyn clubs be
consolidated?'
GA meeting will be held on the 29th

signed and officers elected Mr.. Abel and
Mr.. Goodwin are in perfect harmony, and
the affairs of the new club will be put in
good shape at an early date"
