| Charlottesville, Va-Considerable ex-
! citement was aroused at the University
of Virginia by the discovery of an
underground passageway, which starts
! in close proximity to- the room occu-
! pied by Edgar Allan Poe, 13 West
Range, and extends a distance of near
ly 200 yards. The passageway is
arched with brick for it's entire length,
and person nearly five feet tall ca n
walk through it without STOPPING. 1t
is similar to the one at Monticello.
through which Thomas Jefferson is
supposed to have made his escape from
Gen. Tarleton of the British army. AS
a matter of fact. the tunnel at Month
cello was for sewer purposes, and
doubtless the mysterious subterranean
passage discovered at the university
was constructed for the same use,
though the floor is of natural dirt.
Workmen engaged in excavating dis
covered the passageway, following a
blast.
