BLACK-HANDED JACK.
A Mexican Myth that Terrorized a City
for Several Months.

A Mexican Myth that Terrorized a City
for Several Months.
A mystery which has puzzled the civic
authorities and terrorized the people of
Guadalajara, Mex, for many, months
has been solved by the exercise of a little
common sense. Violent deaths are rath-
er numerous in this city, and it frequent
ly happens that the dead body of a man
or woman is found on the street in the
morning, having been stabbed to death
during the night.
was magnifed until 1.-The Black Hand
in Guadalajara equaled Jack the Rip
per" in London, and all classes of people
believed in and feared the myth. The
story was that in some dark street at a
lonesome hour man or woman would
be approached by a man, closely wrapped
in a cloak, who would ask the hour. On
receiving the reply he would say: 1T
is we'll that you should know the hour
that you are to be made happy by being
sent to heaven" and with a knife of
immense size, grasped in hand that
was as black as ink, he would stab his
victim to death.
The story was told everywhere, but
the scene of the crimes was always locat-
ed in some part of the city distant from
where inquiries were made. 1t finally
occurred to some enc to ask how it was
known that the assassin's hand was
black, or what he said, since all his vic
tins were killed, and then the police
realized, after months of investigation,
that the story was a fabrication. The
strange part of it is that a story which
would have been exploded by a bright
American reporter in a day terrorized a
whole city in Mexico for nearly half a
year, and will be believed by three
fourths of the people for years to come.

The Queer Cause of Cave-in.

The theory that the accident at Wy
oming few days ago was caused by the
onening of a pothnle is confirmed by the
engineers in charge, w. r. Dodge and
J. III. Hughes.
In some remote geological age. when
this region was oyerlaid by glaciers, q
depression was formed by the water and
loose stones, and the latter, eddy1ng round
and round, wore a cylindrical shaped mol
low in the rock, extending from IT the TOP
of the latter to the bottom. There is
no way of foretelling the presence of the
pothole, and chamber may be driven
directly beneath it, without knowing.
Such, evidently, was the case in Wy
oming, and when the thin layer OF the
rock between the bottom of the pothole
and the top of the chamber gave away
the quicksand above poured in, letting
down an acre or two of the surface.
Messrs Dodge and Hughes have
reached a point 100 feet distant from
the face of the chamber, and found the
little round stones, which are indisput-
able evidence of the pothole theory.
glomerate, or what the miners call ''pud-
ding stone
These pockets of quicksand are found
occasionally in Wyoming valley, though
they are not always potholes. In some
instances the coal measures and other
great quantities, either by glacial ero-
sion or by some upheaval Mine In
spector Williams states that such a mass
of Quicksand was encountered at Nanti-
coke, and in such quantity and fuidity
that it ran 5000 feet in the gangways,
drowning twenty-eight men.-Wilkes-

that it can meet every possible exicency.
AS for the truth of this statement it is
not advisable to mediate upon, and there
is one thing positive, and that is the ina
bility of the members to prevent fires.
Unfortunately such occurrences were
growing to be a chronic affliction, and in
desperation the leading officials of the
fire department and the town officials
met to devise ways and means of stop
ping them.

things should rarely happen in well-regu-

Thus it went on for over an hour

difficulty. Finally one of the fire depart

cried, II have a resolution to propose
which 1 think, if adopted by the honor
