Journey homeward was almest In

nation of the COrkscrew, I refer
you to the Okolona party. After
ascending and descending th Cork
screw it was only a short distance
from the starting point Of our jour
ney where we soon passed through
the gate again out into the mouth
of the cave having walked 10 miles
since noon When we reached the
hotel it was 1890. After a re-
ireshing sleep of several hours and
a hearty breakfast the next morn
ing, we again entered the cave on
what is known as the short route.
| will not go into details, but will
try to give some Of the most inter
esting features of this route. We
passed through the "Shakesperian
Gallery" where Booth gave to a
party of friends, some years ago,
"Hamlet." Passing out into the
reception Hall" where every ma
tiOn, State, and Organization OF
any prominence is represented by
a pile of stones. Each of our par
ty throwing a stone for their ma.
tive state and the different sOcie
ties to which they belonged, in
which The daughters Of the Con-
federacy, The Eastern Star and
others were represented. Through
this immense hall we went down
into the "Wine Cellar" by steep
rocks thence coming to "DOrins
DOme," the "BOttOmless Pit"
"Giants Coffin" going through
the "Infernal Regions" Other
notable features was the "Bridal
Altar" where seventeen couples
have been married, "The Old Arm
Chair" the stalagmites Stalag-
tites and the Canyons. One
Of the most beautiful sights, is the
Starry Chambers, where you can
look about and see millions of
stars, and On one side the comet,
on another the sun rises gradually
until it is almost overhead and
again the sky clouds and not a
star is visible. Martha Washing
tons Statute is a most striking
piece of natural art. Our journey
here ended, having explored both
the long and the short route of the
cave, feeling that few things in
nature could surpass the pict.
uresque grandeur of this mysteri-
GUS subterranean passage. After
another elegant luncheon at the
hotel, the party returned to Louis
vile in high spirits nOtWithstand-
ing the fatigue after going through
COrkscrews, Fat mans miseries
etc.and on top oft all a drenching
rain, each regretting that the two
delightful days spent at Mammoth

HAD NO RIGHT TO GIVE
So the Company Refuses to- Pay
Back What Was
Given.

Washington. Ind, May ia suit
has been filed in the circuit court here
involving the question of cities having
the right to give bonus 10 Il factory.
The suit was filed 10y the city of
Washington against the Collier Shovel
and Stamping company, y. +. Cabel
and Richard G. Davis, for $500. the
bonus given the Collier company to 10
cate its plant here. A company was
organized in 1889 by Washington and
IHdianpolis men to erect Il shovel and
iron stamping factory and several
cities in southern Indiana were asked
10 give bonus. Washington was
finally chosen, the city having agreed
to $500 cash. if the factory would
operate ten years and employ not less
than $50 men.
1t was further agreed that if the
company violated any part of the con-
tract the bonus, with interest. would
revert to the city. Last year the fac
tory removed TO Hammond, Joining the
trust. and offering TO pay back half the
bonus. which was declined. The COM
Dany claims that the amount cannot
be collected. as the city had no right
to give bonus to any factory seeking
n location. as it is contrary to the laws
of Indiana.
