SUBTERRANEAN RIVER.
One Flows Under the City Of Pen.
SacOla.

Special to the Times Democrat.
Jacksonville. Fla, April 2S-
Much excitement was caused here
To-day by the discovery of a sub.
t-rranean river flowing Immediately
under this city. The soundings
taken GO to show that the river is
within about 100 feet of the surface
and flows in a southw esterly direc-
ton, aud ia supposed to fnd an
exit in the Atlantic nearly two
miles from shore. A fresh water
spring boils up there. Old inhahi-
tints say that the Seminole Indians
were aware of the existence of the
river. Vibrations are easily per.
ceptible in certain portiOns OF the
city. No apprehension is felt. how
ever. as the water is too far from
the surface to ever do any damage.

THE LEWIS MEMORIAL.

In looking for a site for the Lewis memorial why is it that the available space in front of the City Hall has been ignored? There is room enough there for a whole row of memorials without blocking up any passage way or obstructing any view. The Lewis memorial could be placed there so as to look as well as the Greeley memorial in front of the Tribune building does, and it would be an appropriate place for it. The plan to put it in front of the County building is entirely lacking in fitness, and it is surprising that it was ever invented. We believe that if MT. Lewis were alive he would be among the most earnest protesters against it. He was city man, first, last and all the time. He loved the city, and he wouldn't see any reason why memorial of him should be placed on county property. There is none
