Buena Vista, Colo, Shaft Penstratss
Tunnel Undermining Mountain.
Buena Vista, Colo, Sept. 24.-When
the night shift Of the Johnny Tewin
mine entered the shaft Saturday night
they saw strange sight. When the
bottom was reached they found the
sides had literally been shot out and
that they were in large cave thirty
feet in diamete, filled with stalag-
mites and stalactites Of wonderful
beauty and size.
The savers has been explored Tor zoo
feet and decreases slightly in size at
the point where the exploring stopped
last night. That is an outside entrance
ia not doubted, altho 1t appears to run
straight into the heart Of the noun
tain.
A large stream of. water can plainly
be heard, and the miners say they
will thoroughly investigate 1t.

ATLANTA AGAIN QUIET
Race War Has sub-ided and the Sit
uation is in the Complete Control Of
the MiIitia-Ten Bodies Of Victims
Killed in Saturday Nights Trouble
Prepared for Burial.

Atlanta. Ga, Sept. 24.-The city is
quiet today. The seventeen companies
of the state militia, are in complete
control of the situation. All saloons
are closed. Business has assumed nor
NAL conditions. No further outbreaks
are anticipated Last night passed
without serious disturbances, altho
many people were on the streets until
a late hour.
The total number of dead is ex-
tremely difficult to estimate. Ten bod
les of those killed in connection with
the riots Saturday night, have been
prepared for burial. 1t is reported on
bodies have been taken away for bur-
ial, and it is equally probable that
sorne deaths have not yet been report
ed to the authorities. The exact
number of dead is not likely to be
known for some days. Various start
ling rumors Of trouble have been
brought to the newspaper offices, but
nine-tenths of these have proved abso.
lutely without foundation.
The body of Zeb Long, negro, was
found hanging in the woods today near
East Point, a suburb of Atlanta. Long
was locked in the East Point jail
charged with disorderly conduct. The
iail was broken into shortly after mid
night, and Long was taken to his
doom. :,
The authorities have sent home all
the outside militia companies, except
ins, those belonging tol the Fifth rega-
ment. This leaves one full regiment
in charge The feature of the situation
is the scarcity of negroes usually en-
ployed about the city. The telegraph
companies are advertising for white
delivery clerks; the postoffice Is ex-
periencing great difficulty in sending
out special delivery mail, altho the ne
gro drivers are seen on many wagons.
Domestic servants are frightened. The
exodus of large proportion OF me-
groes from the city is reported. The
authorities believe they have the situ-
alton we'll in hand.

A Welsh judge had before him a
case in which printer sued pork
butcher for the value Of a large par
eel of paper bags with the butchers
advertisement printed thereon. The
printer, having no suitable illustra-
ton to embellish the work, thought
he improved the occasion by putting
an elaborate royal arms above the
mans name and address, but ulti-
mately the latter refused to pay.
The judge, looking over a specimen,
observed that for his part he thought
the lion and the unicorn were much
nicer than an old fat pig. "Oh,
WELL" answered the butcher, "per-

mails like that, but my customers
