WONDERFUL CAVERN.
The Diamond Cave in Newton Cou3tys
Arkansas.

HARRISON, Ark, Aug. 31.-Down.
among the foothills of the Boston
Mountain there is cave which riv-
aIs the famous Luray cavern OF
Virginia in beauty Of oraamentation
and which is excelled by the Nam
moth Cave Of Kentucky only in ex-
tent. Being 80 f;tr from a railroad, :,
it is inaccessible to the general
class OF tourists, who consider con-
venicnce IA one of the prerequisites
Of the enjoyment OF the beautiful,
and it is therefore but little known
outside OF its Immediate vicinity.
But those who have visited it and
many of the famous caverns in all
parts Of the Union pronounce
il unsurpassed aud unsurpass-
able.
It is situated near Henson creek, !,
in Newton County, about seventy
five miles from Eureka Springs. It's
cxhistance has been known for
more than fifty years, but it was
@aot tally explored until Il few years
aso. The tarlhest point so far dis
covered is about two miles from
the entrance, and it is estimated
that the various ramiiications will
extend at least ten miles. OF course
Il cannot compete with the Nam
no,h and other caves in this re-
spect. but what il lacks in extent it
nore than compensates in sub
limily Of design and beauty Of seen
Sery.
Ascending a rugged mountain
side near the creek we come to the
entrance, an i'm mense fissnrc in the
rocks, marked on the surface by Il
very perceptaole depresslon. En-
tcring, we find ourselves at the
head of II twenty-foot ladder, and
climbing down this we come to Il
rocky, abrupt decline, down which
we scramble seventy five feet to the
the level OF the cree k and Of the
scavcrn. At the foot of the ladder
> is great cham ber with tho
root fifty feet above our heads.
In side cavern are great NUM-
bcrs of bats, he only ones in the
cave
After reaching the lower level
we walk along several rods, when
we come to two distinct passage
ways. Turning shar ply to the LETT we
ascend nant of onyx by means of
steps cut into it, and enter the
Fat Mans Agony, Il long, torturous
passage more than half u mile in
lcnglh. This passage is rcmarka-
bic for its Uniformity of level and
size, its devious windings and its
large masses Of disco lored crystals.
1t is evidently of volcanic origin
supplemented in after ages By ero-
sion, in nearly all portions Of it we
can walk erect. but in some plae es-
we must proceed in q stopping pest
nre.
Fat Mans Agony is not itself
devoid of interest, and what can
there be scen exccls the beauties of
many caves which have achieved a
local reputation. Pools of the
purest water occur at irregular in
tcrvals, while great masses OF crys
tails formations, immense COLI umns
and stalactites, made somber by
the volumes of clay-impregnated
water which flood the cave during
the wet season almost every year.
Numerous side-fssures and crystal
lined creviccs are revealed on every
hand, and in some places we choose
our steps with the utmost caution as
we wen our way along narrow
ledges, clinging to stalactities for
tor support, every step threatening

HoNEsDALE. Dec. 1S.-Ten years ago
anthracite coal was discovered in Lack
awanna. \ town soon grew up in the
wilderness and was called Forest City.
The place has become one of the largest
and most important towns in the valley.
The new coal field is on the borders of
WAYNE, Lackawanna and SuSquehanna
counties, and Forest City was supposed
to be in the latter county. Taxes have
been levied and paid by the city to Sus-
quehqnna county ever since it came in
to existence, and the county has been
represented in the Legislature by citi-
zen of Forest City.
The growing Importance of the town
has increased the wealth and importance
of SuSquehanna county correSpondingly,
but now the claim is made 10y Lackawan-
ma county that the city is not in Susque-
hanna at all, but in Lackawanna and
preliminary surveys indicate that the
claim is correct. 1t Is now admitted by
Susquehanna, however, and the case
will have to go into the courts before
Forest City may know which county she
l. in.

rushed out into the street and called an

motive was for starting the fire no one

there that some fellows were after him
TO whip him and that he camG in there

DEMING, Y. NJ, lS.-Haqui Indians
and ignorant Mexicans in the state of
Chihuahua, Mexico. have abandoned
their homes and taken refuge i'm a strong
hold in he Sierre Madre mountains
The trouble arises from sympathy for
the Temochians, who were swept out of
existence by the Federal troops, and the
fear Of "A like fate for themselves. The
discomfort has been created into religi-
Gus fanaticism by beautiful young girl
named Anita, whom they worship, and
who urges them Ito revolt against Diaz

will march to the scene as soon as the

disastrous. More than 200 ignorant

They profess great fear that President
Cleveland will be unable to control Con

them degree of comfort. But they
are dreadrully afraid of Congress.
Let them possess their souls III peace.
Mr.. Cleveland when President will have

A CONSPIRACY to murder by poison
has been developed in connection with
the Homestead strike. 1t was a scheme
to poison by wholesale the non-union
workmen at the Carnegie company steel
plant, and the developments which
have been made implicate members of
the Advisory Committee, members of
the Amalgamated Association, and Off
cials of some of the labor organizations
sympathizing with the locked-out men
at Homestead. AS result of this con
spiracy it is alleged that between thirty
and forty persons lost their lives, while
score of others are still suffering, at their
homes and in hospitals, from the effects
of the poisonous drugs administered to
them with criminal intent. Nine or
pto., prisuns, who are more or less iden-
tined with the strikers, are under arrest,
ostensibly on less serious charges, but
really for the purpose of averting suspic-
ion until all those who are claimed to be
in the conspiracy have been secured.
The only name given of those charged
with administering poison is Robert
Beattie, who was arrested at Louisville.
