A MOSCOW
Hole i'm the GrOund Leading tn a Sub
Stream.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
RUSHVILLE, Ind. March 23.-At the
town of Moscow. in Orange township, there
is a hole in the ground in the north end of
William Barlow's lot, since the flood. that
is supposed TO be an opening TO a subterra-
mean river. The Barlow premises are but
a few hundred feet from the banks of Big
Flatrock river, which was swollen to a
height never known before by the recent
high waters. Barlow at first paid little at
tention to the hole in his yard. thinking II
but a common mud puddle. caused by the
rain. In a few days it began 10 boil and
then give out n subdued noise which
aroused the curiosity of the family. Mr..
Barlow procured a cord and. attaching a
weight. sounded the opening. but the
weight did not touch bottom. He then
tried seventy-five feet OF clothes line with
a smoothing iron on the end. When about
forty-hve feet of line was out Barlow felt
a sudden tugging on the sounding line. The
iron had touched the swift stream which
had caused the roaring and boiling, noticed
a few days before. The line was unraveled
TO the end. but IL did not touch the bottom.
The force of the subterranean waters was
so great as to almost drag the line from
his hands. Since its discovery the opening
has widened and threatens great danger to
the Barlow lot. One side of the opening Is
composed of smooth white stone. running
to the bottom. The other side Is Of ella yish
formation and is not proof against the ac-
ton of the waters. Whence comes the
stream no one knows and where Ii empties
Is equally a mystery. The theory is that
the waters during the flood washed a hole
a crevice into the underground passage
beneath the Barlow premises.

GRIEF MATTHEW'S TESTIFIES.
One of the Men Employed to Fix

MARION. Ind. March 23.-Grief Mat
thews. whose confession led TO the whole
sale. arrests liz the Marion bribery cases,
occupied the witness stand TO the exclusion
of almost everything else to-day. His testi-
mony was very much the same as that
given in the confession published some time
ago, though the defense scored a strong
point in favor of Baldwin. the defendant
now on trial, by comparing the confession
with the statements made on the stand i'm
the direct testimony. In the latter he stat
ed that Baldwin was at the conference i'm
Paulus's office. In the former he says
Baldwin was not present at that conference.
The witness stated to-day that at a con-
he was selected to see" Joseph Kern and
others of the first venire in the Crum-Evans
trial. Crum said that each juror was to
nave so, or 500 In necessary. to induce him
TO hang the jury. AT the conference in
Paulus's office he was selected to visit
Frank Laid and give him s25 or $50. He
saw Ladd, and the latter agreed to do the
best he could. The witness also gave the
details of a conference at Swayzee at which
Baldwin was present, and stated that the
purpose was TO further the plans for brib-
ing jurors.
In cross-examination Matthews was asked
if he had not been promised immunity from
the law If he would make q confession. To
that he had received no assurances that it
would be made easier for him If he would
confess. j.. W. Crum and j. c. Evans were
both brought here to-day. Notwithstanding
the fact that the order requiring their pres
ence was so modified yesterday as to re-
qUire the presence of Crum only. Crum
is as clipper as ever. while Evans is in
clined TO be sulky and declines to talk.
