THE GAVE OF GHOSTS.
Thfs II One Of the Wonder Place" OF
: New South Wales.

I One Of the curiosities of Oakley
creek, n. S. W, is a cave which very
few people care to enter. 1t is Of the
usual order Of stalactite and stalag-
mite shapes and figures. but in order
to get inside it the visitor must crouch
down and squeeze himself through a
narrow opening and grope his way IN
the inky darkness for few yards till
( he can stand erect and light torch.
AS seen as he has done this he sees
faintly the weird shapes assumed by
the water dripping from the limestone
and he hea.~. J whirring noise. He
feels inciia;t. TO make his exit at once.
bus he hears something moving II
round him, and presently something
touches him.
He concludes that there are uncannE
spirits about. and this sensation is null
tiplied many times in intensity when
on turning to retrace his steps be finds
himself confronted by tall, ghostly
figure.

WAYS the case. he recognizes that the
ghostly figure is q senseiess block form
ed by the dripping from the limestone
and that the moving creatures are
bats.
There is one part Of the cave which
no man has dared TO explore. It is
called TIE b!owho!e. One adventurous
visitor was about TO squeeze himself
through this narrow aperture when II
occurred to him 20 throw stone
through. He did SO. listening for the
stone to touc.i bottom. and the dull
sound that finally reached him con-
WINGED him that there was sheer

 The adjourned hearing of the crdm- inal charge preferred against Con- stable John Porter of Goshen was heard yesterday before Justice Fred erick W Yutzler of Cornwall LsfJ. Nickerson of Cornwall and Joseph f. Futile of Hartford appeared for Miss Hough and w. W. Bierce of Torring- ton for Porter. Mfr Bierce filed a plea in abatement alleging lack of ju- rfsdfctfon oq1 the part of cnA justfce on the ground that. as there was a justice in Goshen. the case should have been brought before him. At the time the writ was issued it was supposed that there was no justice in the town, but it was found later that one had qualified. The plea in abate- ment was overruled and Porter waived examination. Probable cause was found and Porter, was held under a bond of $1,0O0 for the April term of the Litchheld county court of com mon pleas.
 Postmaster George A. Warner of Bristol received pouch of letters from Hartford last evening that gave him a shock Of surprise He at once recognized it as pouch he had sent out only a few hours before, and 1t disturbed him to have 1t back on his hands when he thought he was we'll rid of, 1t. The pouch centained about sixty letters and was made up for Hartford and sent there On the train leaving Bristol at 4:02 o'clock and leaving Hartford for Boston at 4:52. The pouch left Bristol all right and req aehed Hartford. but for some req son Hartford didn't seem to care for its contents. At any rate it came to Bristol on the train leaving Hartford at 6:35 and with other mail it was taken to the Bristol postofffce. As there is no mail to Hartford later than the train which took the pouch there, the whole lce of letters re- mafned until morning, when la fresh start was made.

RESPITE FOR COLLINS.
His Attorneys Have Now Filed for
 Transfer of Case.

Jefferson City, Mo, March 5.--Gov- ernor Dockery yesterday granted a respite of fifteen days to George Col Hns, who is now in the St Louis Jail and who was to be executed oh March Il, for the murder of Detective Schu- macher. The attorneys for Collins have filed a motion for the transfei; Of the case from division No 2 of the supreme court to the supreme court en hanc. In order to give the court time to pass on the motion, Governnr Cookery granted the respite.
 William Rudolph, Collins's part her, who was returned to the jail last week, will be tried in Union, Mo, at the term of the Franklin county courtl which conveHes on March 14. It fs probable that if Collins Is taken to Union to be hanged Rudolph will be taken also and locked in the jaf1 there until the date of his trial FroHl a jail window at Union he will be able| to see the execution of his partner.
 It is not thought that the, hanging ol| Collins will have any material effect on the trial of Rudolph. When Ru1 dolph was told last night the, decision' of the supreme court in his partners
 case he remarked: 'It was certainiyl tough for George"
 sYes; expect the same dose, ha, replied to q question; that is, uni less--'f and he cast longing giance' toward the skyltght from which heII made hts sensational exit to liberty a! few months ago.

TROUBLE KEEPING
 RUBBISH OFF STREETS

Superintendent Hotchkiss Is expert enclng the same trouble his predeces- sors had to contend with in keeping rubbish off the streets. To-day a paper dealer drove through Bank street and at every jolt of the wagon pieces of paper bounded from a bag and whirled about in all directions, soaring horses and finally settling down in the mud and making more work for somebody. This is a nui- sance that ought to be stopped, but it seems to be hard to make any reform in that direction. There is an ordl- nance covering it, but nobody tries to live up to it. The carting of rubbish from cellars and back yards is also at- tended with a good deal of careless ness and as a consequence portions of the public ways are often filtered with tin cans, old boots, paper and other things of that sort, ten or fifteen min utes after they have been cleaned up.

DRUGGIST WALKER HOnE
het hany Waterbury People on His
 Trip in the South.

Robert Walker, the Brooklyn drug glst, who has just returned from an extended trip to the south for the ben efit of his health, is loud in his praise or the southern sunny cline and the beauties and comforts of the south at this time of the year. He states that the weather during the time in which he was there was delightful. The temperature during the day time ranged from 75 to 60 degrees. The nlghts, however, were somewhat cold 1t was like summer in the north.
 In regard to fishing and hunting the former alderman says they are ex- cellent. A man becomes tired of fish ing because there is such an abund- ance of fish and can be caught so easily. 1t is a common occurrence to catch any quantity of fish, weighing from 5 to 12 pounds
 MT Walker met a number of Con- necticut people and several Water- bury persons on his travels through Florida. He had the pleasure of. meeting Warren L. Hall at Palm Beach: The former senator has not yet fully recovered from his recent attack of typhoid fever. But thel balmy air of Florida is great health restorative and MT Halls condftionl is improving rapidly. At St August tine MT Walker met Edward Moriarty| of theE nrm of Moriarty 6 Carroll, bot tlers, while D. B. Wilson and wifel were encountered on the St John's| river. Among other Waterhurians| who are in Florida, are F.. l.. CurtisaI and wife at Deland, and the Rev WI J. Slocum and Undertaken James, Mulville. at Daytona.
 The boat on which Mir Walker re- turned from Savannah to. New York, had a very stormy passage. With theI exception of the first day the wfnd| was terrific and the mighty biIlowsI toyed with the ship. All but two per sons on board were sick. Owing tcI the dense fog the boat had to remainI outside of New York harbor for twen- ty-four hours.

POLICE COURT DOINCS.
Prosecutor Pierce Had Two com- plaints for Violation of LiQuor Law

Prosecuting Agent Pierce opened proceedings in the city court today, Judge Rurpee presiding. MT Pierce had two complaints for violating the liquor laws against William Slyskf. He stated that the premises in which the alleged violations took place are said to be rented by club. At this point Attorney Bauby stated that ne was retained to defend the cases and he would like an adjournment to Mon- day, and that Slyski was running the place for a regularly organized club and that Attorney Kellogg drew up the charter. MT Pierce replied that had nothing to do with the question. It appeared to him that the charter was a mere cover for certain number Of men, Slyski among them, to run liquor business without license. The club had no organized capital. nor any thing else to show it was a legal con cern. He opposed an adjournment be- cause Slyski knew prosecution was pending and he should have secured counsel, for last Sunday the club was raided by the police and SlyslSi was then informed he would be prosecuted. However, the matter was adjourned to Tuesday.
 Nora Reardon was charged with in toxication and vagrancy., She pleaded not guilty and insisted she was not guilty. Officer Hickey testified that for some time she had been sleeping everywhere she could lay her head. Mrs Reardon convinced the court she merely did that for self aeeommoffa- tion and the benefit of her health and that she had position secured with Colonel Hayes of Bethlehem. The sentence was conditional. It was that if she is found in town on Monday she will have to go to jail for sixty days.
 The csses against George w. Acker- man for criminal assault on Maggie Miller. and against Edward J. Kniek- erbocker for seduction, were then called aud the court room was cleared of all but those directly concerned in them.
 Aekerman's lasted till II o'clock and probable cause was found and he was bound over to the superior court under a bond of S3,0Ou. He was de- fended by Attorney Cassidy. The ey- idence was substantially as It was told in the Democrat yesterday.
 Probable cause was also round III tho case against Knickerbocher ana he was. held in bail of $1.0o0. Both of his wives testified to thefr mar riage. But for the fact that he did not live with wife No he woufd have been charged with oigamy. Neither of the men had secured bail this afternoon.

A CRANK AT OYSTER BAY.
Had n Message From Heaven to BE
Delivered Only to President
Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Sept. 20.-A man
who was regarded by the secret serv-
ice officers and by the authorities OF
Oyster Bay as a dangerous crank was
apprehended here. He is ]. E. Reeves,
a medium sized, roughly attired man
about 40 years of age. He was making
his way to Sycamore Hill when arrest
ed. He told officer Tyree, who appre-
hended him, that he wanted to see the
president on important business. Be
lieying from the mans manne that he
was insane, Officer Tyree took him be-
fore Justice Franklin for examination.
To the justice Reeves said that six
years ago he died in n Jersey City hos
pital and went to Heaven in AL auto
mobile. While there he received an Inn
portant message for President Roose-
welt, which he was directed to deliver
personally. He refused to say what
the nature of the message was, as he
declared he could communicate it to
nobody but the president.
Justice Franklin after the examina-
ton. being convinced that the man
was insane and very likely dangerous.
deputized one of the secret service men
to take him to Mineola where a formal
inquiry into his mental condition will

Attempted Padding of the St. Louis
Registration Lists Leads
to a Murder.
An INNOCENT 0NLOOKER WAS,
AS USUAL, VICTIM OF The shot.
The st. Louis Grand Jury Has
Promptly Taken Up the Matter
and Will Try to Fix the Respon-
sibiIity For the killing and n
Padding of the Registration Lists.

st. Louis, Sept. 20.-Beginning, Mon
day morning, with a clean set of books,
the new registration Of the voters OF
st. Louis "a started, but it was only
a few hours before they were, meta
phorically, smeared with blood. In
some of the wards fraudulent registra-
ton was begun early, and carried on
with the brazen effrontery and bully
Ing tactics for which the st. Louis I'm
dams" have become noted.
One Of the results was the killing,
Monday afternoon, Of Frederick E.
Scheel, a young law student from Belle
vile, ILL.,, who was shot and almost in
stantly killed during a fusillade fol-
lowing a row in the registration booth
Of the eighth precinct Of the Fourth
ward.
The trouble was started by Oliver ].
Beck, a republican judge, challenging
the right of some men to register. They
claimed to reside at the Jefferson no
tel, ~whereupon Beck asked them to go
over to the hotel with him and verify
their statement, at the same time start
ing for the door Of the booth. In pass
ing out he was assaulted by one Of the
party, and running into the street
drew a pistol, threatening his assail-
ants, w%hereupon shooting began. None
Of the parties to the affair are known
to have been hit, but young Scheel
happened to be in the way of two of
the bullets and received a fatal wound.
Accounts of the shooting differ to
some extent. The police, who did not
see it, claim that Beck killed Scheel,
but eye-witnesses say that bullets from
the pistols of Beck's pursuers did the
killing. Beck denies having fired at
all, nevertheless he is the only one of
the party directly concerned arrested,
although some others have been de-
tanned as witnesses.
The grand jury, under the instruc-
lions of w. Scott Hancock, assistant
circuit attorney, the first thing Tues
day morning took up the investigation
of the murder and will probe the affair
to the bottom.
Not only will the grand jury inquire
into the killing and the perpetrators OF
the crime, but thew will delve into the
motives, the alleged irregular registra-
tons in the ward. and the conduct OF
the leaders Of the ~repeaters who are at
tempting to pad the books.
Every phase Of the tragedy will be
dug up, and it Is thought that the
ground plan Of election frauds in St
Louis will be so exposed that the whole
thing may be stopped before election.
Coroner Funkhouser, at the request
Of the grand jury, postponed the in
quest on Scheel until such lime as the
grand jury shall dismiss the witnesses
