WICHITA, Kansas, Sept. 22.-Land
is caving in toward the center of the
earth in the vicinity of the Junction
of Hervey, Butler and Marion counties
in this state. Great excitement pre-.
walls among the people and many OF
them are moving away. The disas-
tiers are of unaccountable origin
There was no shock felt when the
earth caved in, nor did it bear any
resemblance to an earthquake. Near
White Water, on the farm of Thomas
Essington, an area of forty by ninety
feet sank to depth of eighty feet,
and when a man was let down into
the hole his weight alone sank it
three feet more. This occurred
Thursday, and at about the same
moment an ael of seventy-five feet
square sank at Plum Grove to a
depth of thirty-iive feet. This was on
the farm of Sid Jones, the sliding car
rying in threshing machine and sep
arator with it. Water poured into
the latter hole from underground and
it is nearly filed, but the hole at
White Water is still dry, though it is
supposed that the caved in earth is
resting upon vast body of water
The places are some seven or eight
miles apart. AT Annelyn, some miles
from White Water, there were severed
small caveins of from six to forty feet
in depth. The theories are various,
but none of them so far are scientific.
Not long since, man was digging a
well in the vicinity OF Plum Grove
and when he reached depth oftwen-
ty-six feet the drill shot into an appar-
ent vacuum and could not be discov-
cred. The caveins, great and small,
extend in crooked, streamlike
manner distance of about twenty
four miles.

HERE'S ROMANCE.

An American Helress Rms Away with
British Bobby.
At bennington, Rhgland, a most
romantic marriage ok place re.
Gently by special license at ST. Mary's
church. The parties concerned are
a member Of the borough holice force
and young American heiress. who
came to bennington to complete her
education about q year ago. Since
her arrival she has been staying
with well-to-do friends, whose house
was on the beat Of the young con
stable OF whom she became enamored.
AS was very natural, the courtship
had, up to quite recently, been IL
clandestlne one, but somehow or
other the couple haye-oiten met and
aud been seen in each others COM
pany.
Subsequently the relatives with
whom the young lady was staying
became appraised of what was going
on, but their information seems to
have come too late. for by that time
special and complete arrangements
had been made at the church for the
ceremony, although those only di-
rectly concerned knew anything of
it, The exact particulars are some
what difficult to obtain, but there is
little doubt that the lady returned
TO her home after the ceremony,
where she remained until the follow
ing day, the family being up to
noon in ignorance OF the fact that
their lady guest had entered the
welded state.
The chief constable, having heard
of what had occurred, went to the
house, and his arrival was tho pre-
iude to the young lady's speedy dis
appearance 1t is stated that she
quickly realized the delicacy of her
position by rushing downstairs into
the kitchen. whero she seized q
servants cloak, which she threw
over her head, and left the house by
tho back door while the CONVERSE
tion was going on in the hall She
had been to church as usual in the
morning, and this occurred after
the return home. She directly went
to her husbands lodgings. where
she found him, he having been on
night duty.
Fearing disturbance, consulta-
ton took place, and the couple
obtained cab and drove to neigh
boring village, whore they are now
spending the honeymoon, the police
man having obtained two days leave.
The young lady is stated to be 10
years of age, and of prepossessing
appearance. 1t is also confidently
asserted that on attaining the age OF
21 she will be tho heiress to con-
siderable property. 1t is said that
she married the policeman because
her friends wished her to form an
alliance which was distasteful to her.

A sunfish weighing one ton 800
weight is very likely to be one OF
the largest, if not actually the
largest, in existence OF that species.
This is the weight OF sunfish
which was caught by three boatmen
in the service OF the Melbourne har-
Dor trust, and reported by the last
mail The monster measured eleven
feet around its body. The men
were engaged working at the pier at
Williamstown at the time of the
capture, and it caused them no little
exertion to land their unique prize.

PARIS, Sept. 24.--In an article re-
ferring to the charges that it is re-

ambassadors at London, Paris and
Berlin, the Matin accuses Signor
Crispi the prime minister, of an at
attempt to divert attention from
Italy's financial troubles The Matin
adds that the check to these designs
received from Great Britain, Ger
many and France explains Signor
Crispi's resentment toward the am
bassadors at the capitals of these coun-
tries.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-rhe inte-
rior department has just passed on a
case where peculiar fraud is being
practiced. Some time ago resident
of Tennessee wrote to the attorney
general, stating that last May he saw
an advertisement in Chicago paper
offering for sale 100 acres Of land in
Grove county, Kansas The real ses-
tate agent lived at Lathrop, Mo-, and
through him the land was purchased
by the man from Tennessee. 1t was
then found that the government
owned the land, although the Lathrop
agent had furnished a complete deed
and abstract of title. Since them the
same tract has been advertised by the
same agent. 1t is held by the interior
department that as the rights of the
government are in no way affected
there is nothing for the interior de-
partment to do in the premises. 1t is
suggested, however, that the attention
of the proper authorities be called to
the fraud, with view of saving limo.
