STALACTITE CAVE
subterranean Cavefns Found
Under Peapack.

Special to 1.-THE Jersey City Newso
sOMERyILLE, Jan 6, ls02.-The dis
coyery OF a large cave almost directly
beneath the village of Peapack has stir
red a deal of interest in this section.
None of the oldest inhabitants had any
knowledge of the existence of the cave.
Lime rock has been taken from the
great hill on the west side of the main
street of the town for many years. It
was in blasting the lime rock in the
quarry of Philip Todd yesterday that the
mouth Of the cave was found. On enter
ing the cave with their lamps the work
men were dazzled by clusters of stalac-
tites The cave was large enough to
hold hundred people. A large open
ing was discovered near the top. A lad
der was procured and the men passed
through the opening to a second cham
ber somewhat smaller than the first,
which also was hung with staIactites.
There was another passage leading to
a third chamber smaller than the first two
and leading from this was a subterranean
passage about three feet wide. num-
ber of Young men OF the village worked
their way through this passage for sew
eral hundred feet They then lost courage
and backed out Further explorations
were continued today under the direction
of the Rev William Johnson, pastor of
the Peapack Reformed Church. who has
taken a great interest in the matter.

In July part of the Union forces
crossed to the north Of the James river
and took a position threatening Rich
mond, in hope Of drawing part Of the
Confederate army from Petersburg and
thus facilitating reduction. In this
they were unsuccessful. An immense
mine, which the enemy had formed,
extending to our Notifications imme-
diately under Pegram's battery, was
fired July 30th. The right Of the 18th
regiment rested on this battery and
nearly every one Of company A was
lost. One man. Sergt. Charner Greer,
with Lieut.. Hill, Of company c, were
buried about six feet underground,
protected by some slanting timbers,
which enabled them to dig hole with
sword large enough for them to
come to the surface. The enemy rush
ed in, the Negro troops being in front,
several Of our men were Drained with
the butts of their guns, the Negroes
crying out, "No Quarter" The ex-
plosion destroyed the battery and
formed a crater 200 feet long and thirty
feet deep. It was desperate assault.
About midday the line was retaken,
the Union troops being repulsed with
losses far exceeding those Of the Con-
| federates. The siege was continued
during the fall and winter, confining
ourselves to trench life. being under the
fire Of the enemy day and night, ex-
posed to the rigors of Virginia win
ter. Various attacks were made but
the enemy gained nothing.
Early in April, 1885, bombardment
was resumed in earnest all along the
line. This led Gen. Lee, his forces
having been greatly reduced by expo
evacuation Of the city. April 3rd,
most Of the Confederate force was
withdrawn, and after sharp contest
at one Of the forts. the Union army
took possession Of the place. These
movements were followed April 9Th.
by the surrender Of the Confederate
army at Appomattox.
neglected to mention in the proper
place that when w. H. Wallace was
made colonel, Capt. Robt Betsil, Of
company c, was major. And when Ad-
jutant Sims died, from wounds receiv-
ed at the explosion Of the mine at
Petersburg, Lieut.. VIM. Munro, Of the
Macbeth artillery, was appointed ad-
jutant and held this position at the
| surrender.

tirely from memory. There may be
some Inaccuracies, and know there
are many omissions.

SYNoPsIs.-Prince Neslerov wants to
marry Frances Gordon, the charming
daughter Of an American who is build
ing the Transsiberian railroad. Frances
is interested in the fortunes Of Vladi-
mir Paulpoff, stalwart Russian black
smith. She asks Neslerov to use his in
fluence for Vladimir. Neslerov goes to
Vladimir's hut. The blacksmith has
talent and shows Neslerov picture he
has painted. It Is the portrait Of wo-
man Of rank copied from miniature.
The prince Is excited and asks for the
original. Vladimir's father says 1t has
ben lost To Vladimer old Paulpof
confesses that he lied to Neslerov and
still has the miniature. Neslerov has
the Paulpoffs sent to Siberia as nihi-
lists. Frances Gordon goes to the forge
with books for Vladimar. At the door
of the lonely hut she encounters Nesle-
rov. The prince presses his suit Vlo-
lently, and Frances stuns him with
pistol shot in the head. Gordon wishes
his daughter to marry Jack Denton. an
American bridge engineer. Frances de-
mands that her father intercede with
the governor for Vladimir. They start
for Obi. Neslerov boards the same
train, which breaks in two, and Nesle-
rov has Frances alone in his power.
Neslerov drags Frances before priest
and bids him to perform a marriage
ceremony. Jack Denton comes to the
rescue. Neslerov is beaten off. Denton
nearly kills Neslerov in duel. Jack
promises Frances to save the black
smith. Jack repairs a disabled engine
and hauls a car containing the wound
ed prince and Frances toward Obi. On
the road they meet Gordon, returning
with a special car for his daughter.
Frances will not expose Neslerov's
baseness. Neslerov sends his creature
Jansky, chief of police, to the Siberian
mines to recover the original Of Vlad-
imir's picture from the Paulpoffs; also
to put Denton out Of the way secretly.
Princess Olga, cousin of Neslerov, WIS.,
it's the palace at Tomsk. She recog-
nizes in the Vladimir picture the por-
trait of Princess Alexandra, the de-
ceased wife of Neslerovs brother, and
connected with q mystery at Graslov.
Princess Olga secretly learns the story
of Vladimir, Jack Denton, Frances
Gordon and Neslerov. Vladimir and
Jack are prisoners in dungeons under
the palace The dead Princess Alexan-
dra has q son who disappeared in
childhood and was reported drowned.
He was heir to the Graslov and Nesle-
rov estates. The body was never found
and it was said that his mother was
murdered by Prince NeSleroV's father.
Princess Olga has for confederate
one Therese, who has key to the
mystery Of Graslov. the fate Of Prin-
cess Alexandra and the missing boy.
The women plot to release Jack and
Vladimir. After drugging the prison
keepers they descend to the vaults and
get lost in the winding passages.

Gen. N. G. Evans, took train for Rich
mond, travelling on flat cars and some
boxes in a heavy snow storm; the
soldiers, many of them barefooted and
very little clothing. Arriving at Rich
mond. we marched for two miles
through the deep snow, many tracks
being stained with blood.
In December, we landed at Kinston'

month the Federal General Foster ad-

a dispatch was received informing us
that Gen. Pemberton had that day sur
