THE PORT KENNEDY CAVE.
Results of DIR. Cope's Explorations
During the Past Summer.

During the Fast summer.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Prof. Cope gave last evening before the
Academy of Natural Sciences preliminary
report on the results Of the exploration by
the academy during the past summer of
the cave at Port Kennedy, near Valley
Forge.
The cave seems to be in assure Of limo
stone, overlaid with red sandstone. It was
discovered in 1870, when, after blasting,
portion Of its contents was exposed and ex-
amined by Prof. Cope who then described
forty species of animals found in it. About
thirty feet have so far been examined, and
the bottom is not yet in sight The fur
Their down the diggings are made, the rich
er the find. On a base of clay strata OF
vegetable matter, charred earth, wood and
leaves, lie strata of crushed bones, powder
ed very fine forming almost meal.
The number of species so far discovered
is forty-three, some of which have not been
previously determined. The bones are those
of tortoise, snake, birds, sloths, hoofed
mammals and carnivora. Among the last
are found the skunk, bear, four species Of
cat family, including jaguar and tiger. The
teeth of several mastodons We're found, but
no traces Of elephant Very many spcci-
mems of Jaws of the tapir were discovered,
as were also the remains of extinct species
of horses, differing considerably from the
present horse.
Two specimens of teeth of peccary and
ore of an animal probably resembling the
South American Hama were likewise taken
from the cave.
The tiger tooth is very interesting from
the fact that, while the genus appears in
the caves of Europe, it has not been found
before in America. One of the species of
bear resembles the existing black bear,
while the other is similar to a rare species
found in the Andes and California caves.
and is not related to any form now exist
ing in North America. No remains of man
have thus far been found.

CHAPTER VI-THE DOCTORS SPORT.
1t was because Mr.. Philbrick had gore
fishing IN the vicinity of Fairview that the
doctor left the carriage and turned back.
He suspected that angling was mere
pretext for some Interior purpose what, he
could not imagine. He could hardly have
told why he suspected the man, and that
he was Influenced by intuitive distrust,
was another cause for irritation, for the
doctor took pride in being a man of science,
and as he hated mysteries he scorned to
be Influenced by anything that did not pro-
coed from or appeal directly to reason.
The trouble with DR.. Williams was that
he was exactly like other men In most re-
spects, and that he had not yet grown old
enough to know it, 1t Is a rare man in

REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRADE
Remedies Proposed to Render the

Streets Safe.
RECENT REGULAT1oNs

The report made by the board of trade
committee ON steam railroads for the re-
cent annual meeting, but not printed in
time to be placed in full before the meet
ing, was an up-to-date document on the
subject of grade crossings 1t even in
cluded as an appendix an account taken
from The Star of the 9th instant of the
killing Of Ollie Dade- at the New Jersey
avenue crossing of the Baltimore and Po-
tomac road. The committee comprises the
following as members: Frank Hume, chair
man; T. A. Lambert, secretary; c. B.
Church, NJ. M. Parker. E. Francis Riggs
SamL W. Curriden and j. Harrison Johnson.
The report said: 1.-The committee beg leave
to press anew upon the attention of the
board of trade the need which exists for
securing the abolition of road and street
crossings at grade by steam railroads
within the limits of the District of Column
bia. If illustration be needed to emphasize
this requirement the committee feel that
they have only to point to the almost daily
record of appalling accidents at street and
road intersections which is furnished by
the columns of the local press
A statement is given as furnished by the
municipal authorities of casualties, fatal
and otherwise, at grade crossings in Wash
ington during the past three years.
The following recapitulation of the list

ut is our duty as Citizens" the report
continues. never tonweary In the good
work of securing such legislation as shall
make the recurrence of any one of this
long list of outrages impossible This can
only be done by. securing the abolition of
railway crossings at grade and the substi-
tuition therefor of elevated or depressed
tracks.
''Of the two methods just mentioned for
removing the existing evil your committee.
after careful conSidera ton, incline to favor
the elevation of tracks in the mode adopted
at Berlin, ie.. upon masonry arches. The
question of contributing rataby to the ex-
pense of such track separation is purely
economic one and addresses itself to the
railroad management on the one hand and
the trustees of the people-the Commits
sioners-on the other. With us the present
concern is not so much how the proposed
reform shall be effected as that it shall be
effected, and effected with the least pos
Sible delay consistent with the proper exc
cution of the work To this conSumma ton
we are urged not less by memory of the un.
timely dead and sight of the mutilated
survivors than by the sacred duty that we
owe to the men, women and children whom
we are permitted to represent and who are
not the less entitled to demand of a
strict performance of our trust because the
trust itself is voluntary.
1T is proper. in conclusion, to observe that
the Commi. sioners are fully alive to the
pressing need which the existing situation
of the railroad tracks exhibits. Their pow
ers however are limited in this regard TO
the sphere of police administra ton. In the
exercise of these powers they have recent

ESCAPADE OF TWO LADIES.
They Rode Through the Line
Into Manoa Valley.

I There are two young ladies in
the city who are now known as tn
Blockade Runners" on account of
a little escapade which they in
dulged in Thursday afternoon at
the entrance to Manoa valley. On
the lookout for little excitement,
they made up their minds to run
past the guard. Riding along on
horseback at tolerably swift pace,
they were challenged by the guard,
who told them that he had strict
orders to keep every one from town
out of the valley. Nothing would
please him more than to accommo-
date them to the extent of letting
them pass. This little speech did
not seem to have very much effect
upon the young ladies, and they
Immediately bent over the necks of
their horses and started on swift
gallop up the valley. 1t was their
Intention to go a few yards, turn
around and return to the city; but
when they heard the noise of a
horse following in swift pursuit.
they urged their horses onward,
perfectly wrapped up in the excite
ment of the chase. The guard
caught up and, ordering them to
halt, told them they must return to
the city. This they did, with the
air of captured prisoners. When
the guard learned that it had not
been their original intention to go
very far, he laughed at the joke in
a good natured way.
