ST. PETERS GROTTo FOUND.
May BE Place Where Tarantines
Were Converted in A. ID. ~.

Correspondence the New York Times.
Rome, March 6.-More than ordinary in
terest has been taken of late in the dis
coveries of the Italian archaeologist Luigi
Viola in the neighborhood of Taranto in
South Italy. Prof Viola has recently
brought 10 light. in part, of his country's
possessions near to the aboye-nanied city,
an important subterranean crypt or
church, evidently belonging to the earl-
est Christian period and, attached to IL,
large and spacious natural grotto.
Everything supports the hypothesis that
this is the long-iost grotto where st. Peter
is said to have performed the miracle OF
the conversion and baptism of the Taren-
tine pagans, after having broken and
thrown down their idol of the sun, shortly
after his arrival at laramie in the year
AZ after the birth of our Lord. The pres
ent appearance of the grotto comedies in
every way with the descriptions of IL to
| be found in the writings of the old Taren-
I tine historians, even to the existence Of
| the fresh water well which stands in the
| center of the place, and at which, ac-
eordiug to many, st. Peter performed the
rites of baptism. How the rite of the grot-
/ to and its adjacent church, so famed in
the traditions Of Southern Italy, became
I lost to the public knowledge remains
question yet unsolved.
| The walls of the church are covered with
ancient frescoes and paintings, and the in
| scriptions more than point to the eleventh
century as the period Of their execution
The chapel is in an probability very much
older however, and dates back to the ear
| lest centuries of the Christian era. The
principal paintings are TO be found In the
! apse, and according to the manner OF
| the time represent the Redeemer, with the
words in Greek II am the Light Of the
! World-he who followeth Me shall not
walk in the darkness" TO His right Is
the figure Of the Virgin, and 10 the left
st. John. On the walls OF the main body
| of the church are represented various
saints and martyrs.

utilizing this altar that the doors of the
temple opened, as If by the invisible
touch of the god Apis, and the faithful
were invited into the holy temple to COM
pIete their worship. How this was done
is easy TO see from Heros diagram. Be-
meath the altar was the whole machinery.
When the fire was lighted on the altar
it warmed the air in the tube running
down to the vessel H, almost full of wa
ter. The expansion of the heated air forcI
ed the water into the curved tube KIM,
transferring some of 1t to the vessel x.
This vessel was suspended by a chain.
and as IL filled with water the weight pull
ed on the chain, which was wrapped
around pivots that moved the doors open.
When the sacrifice was all over and the
fire was quenched on the alter the all
inside of it cooled, the water poured back
into the vessel II, emptying X, and the
weight seen at the extreme right hand
of the drawing pulled the pivots around
so as 10 close the doors again. OF course,
none but the priests knew anything about
the mechanism by which this marvellous
opening and closing of the doors was ac-
complished, and Il must have seemed a
miracle to the gaping crowd of worship

TAMMANY's NEW TALKEH.
How He Defends New York City
Against Her Critics.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Ledger
When Tammany needs an oratoricaI de-
fender, John w. Keller is now put for
ward. filling the position in the organiza-
ton formerly held by Bourke Cochran
and John r. Fellows. Mr. Keller has
made such a good record in his own de-
pertment OF the city government that this
fact gives weight to what he has to say
regarding the city as a whole. Mr.. Kel-
her, however, made a rather unfortunate
speech two or three days ago, in which he
ridiculed Dr. Par<hurst and DIR. slicer
for the kind OF whiskers they wear, a form
of argument which Is neither dignlfed or
convincing But at the st. Patricks day
dinner he spoke ON higher plane and
made a plea for the city which was Dig
nified and eloquent, II not altogether con-
vinc.ng. He said: The rat would
probably charge that the city was all a
sewer, for in it's insatiate greed for filth
II sees nothing but the reelxing sewer walls
and the Shiny flood that courses through
them But ask bird that lives In Gen.
trail Park what the city of New York is,
and the answer viii be that it Is beau
tifuI place in which 1t is a joy to live.
The bird knows nothing of the sewers as
the rat knows nothing of the park, but,
Bs between the rats description and the
BIRDS what human being, knowing New
1OTk, Will not accept the DlrQ as the
more just as well as the more lighthouse
Instead of being the worst city in the
world, Mr.. Keller claims that New York
rs the best He said: rs she virtuous?
Ask the man whose life Is pure and he
will give you the answer as the birds OF
the park. Ask the man whose life Is inn
pure, either from within .himself or from
the communicating association of vice, and
he may give you the answer of the rat In
the sewer. There Is vice In New York
Nobody denies that. But there is vice In
every village in the whole world, and
there Is vicious impulse i'm every human
heart We must not persist in the hyster-
ical pursuit OF the bad until we lose sight
of the good. The good so far dominates
the bad in the city of New York thai ev-
cry fair-minded citizen must declare that
IL Is a good city Now there is un-
doubleday force and truth in this argu-
ment In many respects New York is a
morally cleaner and better city than
either London or Paris. Moreover, 1t must
be admitted that IL Is impossible to exter-
inmate vice from city as large as this.
Many believe that the only practical thing
to do is to localze vice, giving It, the Free
dom of a certain district prohibiting Ii
from all others. But TO argue that because
ii is impossible entirely to sweep vice out
of city, therefore there should be no war
on places of evil resort, is the same as
saying that because sin is always in the
world, therefore 1t is useless to combat
