Most Wonderful Cave In the World.

The most wonderful cave in the
world is in the island of Tonga, in the
south Pacific. Byron called it ga chapel
of the seas " 1t is formed in rock that
is almost surrounded by the ocean. This
rock is about 60 feet high and broad
proportionatcly
Many years ago boy, the son of a
native chief, was chasing a huge turtle,
when his game seemed to sink into the
rock. The lad watched and waited until
the tide fell, disclosing small opening
in the rock about six feet under low
water mark,
Diving boldly. the young hunter en-
tered the aperture, and, to his surprise,
came to the surface inside the rock. The
rock was hollow, and its interior was
found afterward, when the natives ex-
plored it with torches, to contain many
beautiful stalactites
When attacked and followed by enc
mics, the natives, who know the secret,
leave their canoes, plunge into the water
and disappear Their foes linger, aston
ishod ut their disappearance, for no per-
son not acquainted with it would sus-
poet that the rock was hollow. -London

LYNCHING WAS AVERTED
HE CAUGHT THE YOUNG LADY

The People Are Excited Still and it WouId'Not

Though the Officers Think

assaulted and raped by a young negro
late yesterday evening. Her assailant
was captured, tried and committed to
Jail. The people are very much excited,
lynching narrowly averted.
The young lady had gone to the spring
and while on her way the brute sprang
out, caught and checked her and accom-
plished his purpose. He ran and the
young lady then gave the alarm.
Upon examination by a physician she
was found to be badly bruised and torn.
The negro was talking to his employer
this morning about the rape in the
horse lot, and his employer noticing two
gentlemen, magistrate and another
man, remarked, they are coming now for
us to help look for the negro. The miser-
able, guilty wretch, knowing his guilt,
broke and ran. They pursued and
caught him.
He was carried to Kittrell and placed
in company with six OF eight negroes

DIR. Alderman Makes a Strong Speech
for the Special Tax in Mecllenburg
County.
Charlotte. \. c., July 30.-(SpeciaL)-
President Alderman, of the State Uni
versity, spoke to a large crowd of the
citizens of Mecklenburg at ShOptOn to-
day. His theme was public education,
and he handled his subject as only few
can do From the beginning to the close
of his address he was given the closest
attention. First taking up each of the
more common objections so often heard
against the public schools he showed
wherein they were not valid. He argued
the necessity of a better common school
system, and the duty of each community
TO support a good system of schools. The
argument he produced was so convincing
that many votes were changed for
schools" In the afternoon DR.. Alderman
was called out again, and made another
brief talk, explaining thoroughly the
working of the new school law. Many of
the oldest citizens say that his speech
here today was the ablest ever heard in
this section and there is no doubt but
what it will do much toward the promo
ton of a healthy sentiment in favor of
schools in this county. DIR. Alderman goes
from here to Buncombe county, where he
is to make other speeches, and an effort
is being made to get him back in this
county before the election.

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY"
Eugene V. Debs Tells What is Proposed
by This Colonization
Only One Feature.

by InlS anlZatl0n-COlOnlZatl0
Only One Feature.
Chicago, July 30.-The New Times of
Monday will contain an article by Eu-
gene V. Debs, in which he says:
"The Social Democracy is a general So
cial economic and political organization.
1t is at once national and international.
Politically speaking, it is party within
and for itself and within twelve months
its national representatives will have
formulated a national political platform.
Similarly the various State representa-
tives will have adopted State platforms
and the municipal representatives local
platforms.
"By far the greater part of the criti-
cism has been directed against the colo
nization scheme" and there are those
who still insist that it is all there is to
the movement, or at least that this is its
chief purpose.
"To all of these be it said that the
proposed colonization scheme is simply
one of the features of the movement and
has been assigned a special department
known as the colonization department"
"There has never been any intention to
organize isolated colonies and they who
have worked themselves up in describing
the fate of other "colonies' and predict
| ing calamity, have been wasting their
! time"

CONSUL GENERAL LEE.
At Work to Protect the American Citi-

Havana, July 30.-Manuel Fernandez
Chaqueilo, the young American who
was tried here by court-martial on the
22nd on charge of flibustering, under
third article of the protcol of 1887, Con-
sui General Lee being present, has not
yet been sentenced, although the prose-
cutors asked for the imposition of the
capital penalty. The report that he had
been sentenced to death and that the SEN
tence was subsequently commuted to
Imprisonment for life, was premature.
In consequence of Consul General Lees
Intervention, the matter is still in sus-
pension and has been referred to Madrid.

The State Department Does not Attach
Much Importance to It,
Washington, July 30.-The State de-
partment has received from the Phila-
delphia tobacco firm the note found in
the bale of tobacco from Cuba stating
that three Americans were confined in
MORO castle and were unable to COM
municate with their friends outside. The
note will be forwarded to Consul Cen
eral Lee at Havana, but the officials do
not attach much Importance to it, from
the internal evidence of its bogus char
acter. For instance it is said that there
were no cooks excursions last year to
Cuba, that the American consul general
knows all of the very few American
prisoners in Morro, and lastly it is point
ed out that, while the men are described
as young men, later on in the note the
writer refers to their honorable dis
charges from the United States army in
1865.

mo MORAL TURPITUDE."
But it was Necessary to Punish for the
Sake of Example to Others.

Trenton, n. j., July 30.-Freeholder
Miller Has Cross, of the Mercer county
board of Freeholders, who was indicted
last Tuesday for selling coal to the coun-
ty in violation of State law, to-day
pleaded guilty in the Mercer county
court and was sentenced by Justice Gum
mere, to pay a fine of 5000. Cross also
pleaded guilty to conspiracy with post
master John NJ. Hart, OF Yardville, to
commit the offence for which he was
fined. Hart is the man whose name
was used in the coal transaction. He
was jointly indicted with Cross for con-
spiracy. To-day he pleaded not guilty
and was released under $3.50 bail for
trial at the October term of court. Cross
was not sentenced on the conspiracy
charge, the justice saying he would pre-
fer to wait until after Hart's trial. In
imposing sentence Justice Gummere said
there was no moral turpitude in what
had been done, but that very wise
law of the State had been violated. For
the purpose of deterring others it was
necessary to impose a penalty, but in
asmuch as Cross had saved the county
considerable expense by pleading guilty
he felt that fine of 5000 would be q
sufficient punishment.
