DISCOVERY OF A CAVE.
\ Pennsylvania Underground Grotto
of Great Rcauty

CoNNELLSVILLE, Pa, Aug GA
cave has been discovered leading from the
eastern blue stone quarry that promises to
rival Delaney's cave in southern Fayette
County. 1t has been thought for some
time that a cave existed, but Wednesday
was the first that anything was discovered
of its gigantic proportions S. Cree
Horner, Max Wyant, Edward Homer. and
some others, armed with cameras, went TO
the cave Wednesday night. There are
two entrances high up on the cliff, facing
the stone quarry. One of these is dry
while the other leads into stream, which
runs through the mountain.
The cave, the party discovered, is carved
out of solid rock throughout its entire
length. At places the halls meet and form
direct right angles, making 1t very con-
fusing TO explorers. The party at one
time wandered around for half an hour,
ascending and descending, and at last
arrived back at the point from which they
had started.
The most beautiful stalactites, formed OF
carbonate of lime, hang down from the
roof OF the cavern. which is forty feet
high, and 100 fet long. The walls of the
smaller caves are also hung with staac-
tites; others again stand out from the wall
like the pages of book. these being
foot wide and not more than half an inch
thick. The party brought back many of
these
picture of one of the main grottos
shows the finest cluster OF stalactites
hanging down from the roof, with the
stalgamites reaching up almost touching,
giving the whole interior the appearance
of a coal mine, with hundreds of white
posts erected to support the roof.

swINDLER USES THE CABLE.
European sharper Tries to Get

COATEsvILLE, Pa, Aug 2G.-Miss
Mary shalieross, of this place, is travelling
with Tour c. OF the Christian Endeavorers,
who are stranded in Europe On the 11th
Of this month J. Edison Shallcross, her
brother. received a cablegram signed Mary
Shallcross, which stated that she was
stranded and would like to have $500 sent
10 Munich.
As the wording was not very clear, Mr..
Shallcross sent a cablegram TO Munich to
his sister. asking what she wanted and
received word that no such person was
there.
On Tuesday of last week he sent a ca
biesram TO Paris, with instructions that it
be held until Miss Shallcross should reach
that city. Word was received yesterday
that 1t had been delivered. and soon after
cablegram was received from Miss Shall
cross stating that she was in Paris with
funds low and would like to have some
money sent her. The amount named was
so much smaller than the FIRST cablegram
asked for that II is now thought the first
one was sent by swindlers.

LEOPARD KILLED BY HER MATE.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. ga leopard
named Governor Roosevelt killed another
leopard called Rose Coghlan in cage at
the Zoo yesterday morning, and the finest
specimen ever brought into this country

awoke and pounced down upon the dead
opossum.
Quick as he was. Rose held on TO her
prey. and a royal fight followed that ended
in the death Of the female. Her head was
literally chewed off and strips of her beau
tifully- marked hide were torn OFF by her
ferocious mate.
The victorious animal resented all ef-
forts to remove the body of the dead leo
pard from his cage. II was necessary that
this should be accomplished before the
grounds were opened for visitors, and it
proved to be. in every way, the most ex-
citing thing that has happened at the Zoo
for many day Head Keeper Marley
with TWO assistants. undertook the job
and his success cost him a new coat and
almost his life.
He eoaxed Governor Roosevelt 10 the
end OF the cage farthest away from the
dead leopard. and with shreds of meat
sought to keep him there until the two
under-keepers could drag the carcass to
the cage door. They had not touched
hook on the dead leopard before her mate
was upon them. and with a slap of his
paw pushed the carcass clear across the
cage.
The battle between the men and the
beast continued for nearly an hour with
out result. Assistant Superintendent Car
son stepped over to watch the fight, and
while talking with Mr.. Ianley, who was
standing with his back to the cage, yelled,
Look QUIT" But Marley was too late.
The enraged animal In one leap had
cleared the entire length of the big cage
and fastened his claws directly under The
collar OF Msnley's coast, whisking 1t off
his back with Jerk that nearly dislo-
Gated the headkeeper's spine. While the
leopard was disentangling his claws from
the wreck Of Manley's coast the body of
the dead animal was removed from the
cage

joints and excited nerves. The blood ha,
