ANOTHER VIEW OF IT.

Colonel George Sanderson took issue
with this view. THE city has got to
be considered" said he. Suppose the
damages amounted to $2500OO or $780,
900. how do we know the city can meet
them. This may be a sharp way Of
getting this improvement, but If we go
at this thing willy-nily, who Is going
TO guard the interests of the general
city,"
Colonel Hitchcock said I'm reply that
there was greater considerat tion than
money, and that that was the great
danger to human life. He raised the
new point that the ten feet on each
side of the street now used as side
walks would go to the property own
ers and would tend to greatly lessen
any damages.
Mr.. Keller said the ordinance didn't
provide for that, and then gave his
reasons for opposing the present plan
substantially as he did in council last
Thursday night. I'VE shouldn't allow
the scranton Railway company to CON
tribute one cent towards the erection
of this structure" said he "If We aC-
cept this offer we know very well that
We shall hear nothing else in councils
for years but the liberality Of the
street railway company, when We in
troduce any measure providing for a
tax upon that corporation"
Mr.. Dunning said that the ordinance
could be amended i'm council to pro-
vide for the giving Of the ten feet on
both sides of the street to the prop
erty owners, and this suggestion
prompted Common Councilman II. T..
Paine, who was present, to make a few
remarks.
Mr., Paine said he seriously d ubted
as 10 whether any amendments could
be adopted. Had you been present
last Thursday night" said he, "and
seen the way they wanted to rush the
thing through you wouldn't be very
hopeful of getting any amendments
considered. The copies of the ordin-
ance were on our desks only fifteen
minutes before we voted on il, and
they wanted us to pass it on two read

GRAND GULF CAVEIl
A GREAT CAVE THAT Is IN SOUTS
WESTERN MISSOURI.

It's Mysterious Depths Were Firs
Ordinary Courage-The story Oi
Their PeriIous Journey.
Southwest Missouri is full of strange
earth formations that are called mat
uraT' curioslties in spite of their un.
naturalness. The earth is full of caves
and sink holes. One of the most cele-
brated of these Is the Grand Gulf, in
Oregon county, about four miles from
Koshkonong. 1t is a sort of canyon,
In shape not unlike a horseshoe and
serves the purpose of a drainage bed
in the wet season for a u mile area Of
hills. The canyon is 220 feet deep, with
n natural bridge in one place and a
subterranean lake and river that opens
at one end. The river only exists dur.
ing the wet season, for the earth at
the bottom of the canyon is porous
and absorbs the water. The lake, how
ever, is full the whole year round.
This cave, containing the subter
ranean river and lake. had never beer
explored to the end till the summer Of
1885, when Pat Foley, a saloon keeper
from Thayer, with a companion per.
formed the exploit. Foley had made
two trips before into the cave, but had
not been able to secure a companion
courageous enough TO persevere in the
enterprise. Each man had weakened
and returned before the end of the
cave was reached. On the third trip.
however, Foley had with him a man
OF courage.
The entrance to the cave is wide and
deep. The bed is of broken stones, over
which trickles a tiny stream Of water
In the dry season. A hundred feet in
side the cave the entrance suddenly
narrows into a hole SO small that a
man must get on hands and knees to
pass through. Beyond this narrow hole
the entrance widens into a large grotto.
There is a steep hill to climb; next the
penetrate to the end Of this lake 1t was
necessary to have a boat so small that
II could be dragged through the narrow
passage into the grctto.
Foley and his companion built a boat
Of suitable size and hauled II through
the narrow entrance. They took with
them also a long coil OF rope, a quaint
ty of matches. some railroad lanterns
and four torches with cotton wadding
on the ends soaked In kerosene. The
cave OF course is perfectly dark. The
men used their lanterns till they got
through the narrow place, but to their
amazement the lantern flames inside
the grotto slowly grew dim and finally
went out. They tried to light them
again, but the sulphur of the matches
would fare up only to be extinguished
Immediately. The reason of this was
that the atmosphere was exceedingly
damp and heavy.
The men succeeded In lighting the
four kerosene torches, and grasping
N of them In each hand they made
their way down the slope to the lake
and stood the torches up between the
rocks. The torches smoldered like hot

Goals, giving out very little fame. The
boat was dragged down to the lake, the
torches fastened at the PROV and stern,
one end of the rope tied to a bowlder
and the rest of the coil thrown in the
boat. When the two men sat down in
the frail craft they found the water
rose to within three inches Of the gun
wales. 1t was impossible to use oars
without tipping the boat far enough to
sink ii, so the men were forced to pad
die cautiously with their hands.
They forced the little craft into the
unknown lake, the smoldering torches
lighting up the blackness for only a
few feet around them. Outside it was
a warm summer day, they knew, but
inside it was like a closed refrigerator,
all blackness and dampness and cold.
The water Of the lake was ice cold,
and at every few dips they had to stop
and warm their hands. There was
nothing to be seen or any side-noth-
ing but darkness. No sound could
penetrate the cavern. If the boat
should capsize-as 1t was likely to do
with the slightest disturbance-they
would be cramped in n minute In the
cold water without a chance of help
from the outside.
After a long and tedious padding the
boats PROV was suddenly buried in a
bank of mud and gravel Foley took
a torch and stepped out cautiously in
his rubber boots into the mud. He
found he had come TO the end of the
lake and that a sharply inclined wall
Of rock rose before him. The saloon
keeper climbed up the wall about 40
feet above the lake searching for a
continuance of the cavern. But he
could find none. Apparently the cav
ern ended there. He returned to the
boat, where his companion sat. The
two men made their way across the
lake and out through the narrow place
In safety. They had been gone an
hour, and their friends outside had be-
gun to fear an accident had happened
10 them.
So far as people know, the cave In the
Grand Gulf has no outlet. The Indian
traditions about the cave are that It
was a su~bterranean waterway much
used at one time by boatmen, who
used to carry provisions in boats to the
Arkansas valley. If this be true, the
river must have been stopped up many
years ago by some CONFUSION Of ma
ture and the lake formed then.-Kan-

Effective Remedy.

A good story Is told of one of the
chiefs of the civil service department
who had two affiictions-an obliging
and easy doorkeeper and a pertina-
cious office seeker. who was a distant
relative OF the chief. Scarcely a week
passed but the latter called, and the
former was much too polite to shut
him out.
The chief at last, after one OF the
usual interviews. resolved to stand the
nuisance no longer, so, summoning the
doorkeeper when the visitor had de-
parted, he said. "X., do you know
what that man comes afterY'

"Well, then. | may as well tell you.
He wants your place."
