INDIANA'S ICE CAVE.
Some Theories as to the Cause OF the
Phenomenon.

One of the most remarkable natural
nhenomena that have been discovered
in recent years has just been reported
in the southwest corner OF Brown
County. Indiana It is near the dlmln-
utive village of Elkins,ille. AT it's en-
trance. which is completely overlapped
by the trees, the cold air Is plalhly per
ceptibIe. The opening appears not uh-
like a mine shaft long dlSuseu, pul TIC

lnown 70 the natives as the deVl

this point quite a number OF halls leao

to the ice vault is evident from the colu
blast that comes from 1t.
The descent to this natural corrldor
&c similar to the rocky decline at the
dozen yards within the frost from the
ice vault is plainly visible, and further
cn il is thick on all sides, like that
crust that is formed on the pipes Oh an
ice plant. A little further on the descent
entirely ceases, and here the walls are
frozen hard like the ground IN the Hllo-
die of the winter. Then the narrow
way leads to mammoth chamber, ana
this large natural opening is known as
the ice vault In this great suoterra-
mean aperture which extends fully loo
feet in width, the ice towers in min

icebergs heaped together. The frost-
lined walls and ice-sealed dome present
frigidness which would bring the
shiyers to a seasoned Esquimau. Here
the ice stands in q solid mass. extend
ing downward to a depth which would
be folly to conjecture.
Some have advanced the theory that
the air is forced through under pass
ages Of the earth with such pressure as
to make the strange formation. Some
have attributed the cause to an under
living bed of al1ali, whose chemical
change to a gaseous form has produced
the phenomenon. Others have thought
that the interior heat of the earth,
acting upon the iron pyrites, or fool S
cold. which largely aboundS in this
country, is the true source of this un-
paralleled discovery Still others think
the sudden expansion of the carbonic
acid gas given off by the heated lime
stone, which is also common to this
country, could have easily produced the
ice. But thus far the theories are moth
ing more than speculation, and further
than the fact that the ice cave exists,
and is, indeed, a remarkable phenome-
non, none has been able to further de-
termine.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

ocratic State Convention in session at

Actively Strengthening Fortifications
on the Cuban Coast.
insurgents Using Dynamite Very
Effectively Against the Spanish
Hurl Bombs Against a Train OF
Armored Cars, Wrecking Them
and killing and Wounding Many OF
the Soldiers.

NEW YORK, Sept A special to the
Recorder from Jacksonville, Fla,
says: The activity of the Spanish in
strengthening the Notifications at Ha-
vana and other coast cities is due, it is
said, to fear of war with the United
States. Colonel Ordonz, the chief en-
gineer Of the Spanish army, has arrived
at Havana from Madrid, and is superin-
tending the work. Captain General
Weyler is reported to have said that
he wants the fortifications rendered as
nearly impregnable as possible, as he is
with the United States soon after Presi-
dent Cleveland vacates the White
House.
The insurgents are using dynamite
very effectively against the Spanish, ac-
cording to adviceS received here. The
Spanish sent out a military train last
Thursday The train carried a great
quantity of ammunition, arms, field
pieces, medical supplies, clothing and
money for the troops operating in Santa
Clara Province. Three hundred soldiers
acted as escort and two armored cars
were attached into which they might re-
treat in case of attack by insurgents.

had been sent out, and they attacked
it soon after it left Esperiza. The loco
motive was ditched by dynamite
bomb, and the engineer and fireman
killed. Spanish trropS tried to disperse
the insurgents, but were met by such
hot fire that they retreated to the
armored cars. The troops were called
upon to surrender, but refused, and the
insurgents hurled dynamite bombs
against the armored cars, wrecking
them and killing and wounding many of
the soldiers. 1t is said that forty OF
the Spaniards were killed outright, and
about eighty of them were wounded,
many fatally The insurgents then
looted the train of arms, ammunition
and money.
ANOTHER BATTLE.
HAVANA, Sept A report has been
received here of a running fight in the
Matanzas Province, near ChucOarc, be-
tween a Spanish force under Colonel
Aguilera and a band of rebels under
Cuervo. Fourteen of the insurgents
were killed and many wounded. The
Spaniards lost two privates killed and
one officer and three privates wounded.

CARDINAL SATOLLI.
Will Return to Rome Upon the Arri-
val of His Successor.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-Cardinal
Satolli is preparing to return to Rome
upon the arrival of his successor, Arch
bishop Martinelli, the date of whose ar
rival in this country is uncertain. The
Cardinal had arranged to sail early in
October, but has postponed his de-
parture until more definite information
as to his successor is received. He has
made many friends in this country dur
ing his four years stay, and leaves with
regret. In appreciation of his courteous
reatment by the American press he
gave an informal dinner yesterday to
the representatives of the Press Asso-
citation, during which he expressed his
gratitude to the press for it's kindness,
impartiality and ability with which they
have disseminated news in connection
with the Papal Legation.

upon the merits Of the monument.
Prince Hohenlohe accompanied the

peror and Empress drank from a loving
cup in the hall of the Princess, where
their majesties received the formal well
come Of the city fathers.

the Burgomaster, and the Emperor re-

Armenian revolutionists who took part
in the recent rioting in Constantinople
including Caro- who threw the first

BANK FAILURE.
Doors of the First National at Helena
rIontana, Closed.

HELENA CMont), Sept. 4-The First
National Bank of this city failed to
open to-day. A notice posted on the
door said that heavy Withdrawals had
caused the suspension, and that the de-
rositors would be paid in full. The
bank has a capital stock Of S1,OOO,OOO,
and was reorganized after the panic of
1898, when it was forced to close.
Among the heavy depositors is the
State of Montana with 100000, but it
is secured by an indemnity bond.
President S. T. Hauser of the bank
IS in New York, but Manager f. d.
Edgerton says it Will pay all depositors
in full and dividend to stockholders.
The suspension. caused little excite
ment. There was no run on the other
hanks, and they had only an ordinary
business. The statement of the bank
issued July 18th showed liabilities of
81 100000 and assets OF 81, 100, 600. The
Comptroller of the Currency has noti-
fed the officers that an examiner is on
his way to take charge of the affairs of
the institution.
The failures was not surprise to all,
for it was current talk on the streets
last night that the bank would not open
to-day. The officials had tried to sup
press the rumors, hoping that the bank
might open, and if it did they wanted
to avoid run.
The Davis estate, famous for the lit
igation over the millions left by Davis,
owns 50 per cent. Of the capital, and it
is claimed here last night that young
a. J. Davis, whose possession OF the
stock was a few weeks ago allowed by

 Five thousand union men employed in the building trades of Cleveland on May 1 will demand an eight hour day. Until recently itwas intended that only the union carpenters would make the demand, but the labor agitators who have been eanvassing the city report that the unionists in the building trades have decided to stand together.
 The tradesmen who will make the demand are, beside carpenters, plaster CTS, stonemasons, bricklayers, mortar mixers and bod carriers.
 Headquarters have been established, and circulars are being forwarded to contractors i'll the city notifying them of the demand that will be made and re- questing them to recognize the desire ot the men.
