Almost three months ago a young man named Morrison, who was sojourning in New Mexico for the benefit of his health, began an attempt to climb to the top of the immense pile of rocks east of Tres Piedreas, from which the place takes its name. The three heads are huge cliffs, which stand hundreds of feet above the surrounding country, and on top of which can be seen the rains of ancient cliff dwellings, Morrison was impressed with the iden that with time and patience the ascent could be ac- compliched, and probably great aid might be given to those who are studying the hubits of the ancient races which left so many signs of their civilization in this country. He began on the south side of the cliff and Started to cut steps in the stone and soil in order to make a means of ascent. He carefally examined every portion of the cliff, and de- cided upon his route, and since then he has ap- plied himself with the greatest industry to his set purpose. He has succeeded, and now has the satisfaction of having uccemplishod that | which has been set down as an impossibility. EIGHTY-THREE DAYS TO REACH THE SUMMIT. It took him just cighty-three das to trav- erse the 330 fect from the base of the sum- mit, and there he found that his labors were well repaid, for he found the houses of the cliff dweilers intact, just as they had been left when some great convulsion of nature had torn away a part of the ridge and left the immense heads standing in the air, There were seventeen houses found in various parts of the cliff, most of them being on. the extreme summit and invisible from the plains | below. In these houses he found not only the utensils used by the former occupants, but found evidence tat when the convulsion spoken of occurred many of the inhabitants of the place were on the top and either were from all supplies. The houses were exactly alike, being built of stone and adobe bricks, one-storied, and with from one to three rooms. In each of them were found numerous bowlsandother earthenware vex sels, while in one was found ascaled jar which contained a lot of corn. ‘The grain was hard and firm and looked as if it bad been placed in the jar within a year. The jar, being almost hermetically sealed, had kept im good conditfon the corn, which’ otherwise would have rotted. SOME OF THE THINGS DISCOVERED. Remains of bones were found, but these were so crumbled away in the long time which must have elapsed since the cliff had fallen that it was impossible to more than examine them. But there wus one place where an im- vint of a human body was perfectly preserved y the same process which proserved the forms of those who perished in the Fuins of Pompell and Herculaneum. A man’s form was plainly to be seen where he bad been living, and was covered by the dust which bad arisen from the mass of rocks and dirt which went down when the cliff fell. This dust had covered the body completely” and Packed around it until it preserved the shape. When Morrison saw the little mound or vation on the floor of the houte he dug into it and found that its interior was hollow, and he bed it as little as possible, with the inten- tion of returning and taking @ cast of the body which had been inside. Morrison has entered into with the Smithsonian Institution, have the government supply means for further exploration of the cliffs along the Mancos and Los Pinos rivers, there are hundreds of these cliff dwellings explored. cortatc real estate situats, lying and detue fo the ‘of Washington.

There was a wedding this morning at St. John’s Church, which a small but distinguished company watched with interest. The happy couple who choose this quict consummation to a short and romantic courtship were Mr. Samuel D. Miller, the only son of Attorney General Miller, and Miss Helen P. Kercher, formerly of Philadelphia, but lately a resident of this city. Rev. . Bigelow, the assistant rector of St. John's, performed the ccremony. Mr. Schuyler | Brandt of Binghampton, N. Y., acted as best | man. The bride came into church escorted by her brother-in-law, Mir. Robert Zerly of Pitta- burg, who gave her hand in marriage. There was''no music and only the twitter of birds in the park accompanied the sound of the clergyman’s voice during the ceremony. The Attorney General and Mra. Miller and their daughters were present to smile upon the union of the young couple and to welcome a bride to their home circle. Sec retary Elkins also offered his congratula- tions to the happy groom, who ia his secretary, and wished the bride all manner of happiness. The bride was gowned in a traveling dress of dark blue serge and a natty blue sailor finished off her becoming costume. Mr. and Mrs. Miller went straight to will reside upon their return with the parents of the groom until they start housekeeping by themselves this fall.

One Man Instantly Killed—Another in a Pre- carious Condition at the Hospital, ‘Two shocking accidents occurred on the Bal- thnore and Ohio railroad within the past twelve hours, one resulting in instant death and the other in a nerrow escape that even now might terminate fatally.. Both accidents took place within a stone's throw of each other. The first occurred last night shortly after 11 o'clock. William F. Bergman, son of F. W. Bergman, the tobacconist, residing at 107 Penn- sylvania avenue, in attempting to board an in- coming train at 1st street and Delaware ave- ‘nue missed his foofing and fell undernoath the cars. He was literally cut in two, as the whole train passed over him. It seems that Bergman, who has lately reached hie majority, in com with two friends, pamed Ellis’ and Hilton, were in O'Brien's saloon discussing National Guard affairs, Ie wasa member of the Washington ht Infantry. ‘The iaco: train was heard, and Be: notified his friends that he was going to jue on and ride to the station. His friends t dissunde him, saying the train wos coming too fast, but he paid no attention to them und made a rush for the train, which had just come in sight. He jumped for the plat- form of the third coach and missed, falling un- der the car, ‘Theentire train passed over him, and when his frightened companions ran to his rescne he was past human aid. The news was carried to the family and it prostrated his father. ‘The body was removed to Zurhorst’s under- taking establishment, where it was viewed by the coroner. Later it was removed to his home. ‘The funeral will be held tomorrow from the Church of the Reformation. THE ACCIDENT THIS MORNING. Wm. Brabler, a grocer doing business at the corner of 4th and H streets northeast, was run into and perhaps fatally injured by an incom- ing train on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad shortly after 10 o'clock this morning. The accident happened at the H strect grade cross ing, which ix considered the most dangerous crossing on the road. Brabler and his ten-year-old son Gustave while attempting to cross the tracks were run into by a train, wagon by the shock. Mr. Brabler received severe injuries about the hcad and bedy, The son miraculously escaped. According to a statement made to a StaR reporter by the son ho and his father were waiting, together with a number of others. on 1 bod H street: for the safety gatos to open. After some minutes the gates swung up and they attempted to cross. No sooner had th the gate than it was instantly lowered, shutting them in. ‘The horse became frightened and then the engine crushed into them. THOUGUT TO BE DxING. Brahler was thought to be dying, and Rev. M. €. Dolan of St. Aloysius’ Church was sent for. He rallied, however, and was sent to the Provi- donce Hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate the left leg. lobert L. Redmond was a witness to the affair. Ho was standing on the west side of the track and sew tho guteman lift the gates and after Brahler had gone through immediately lose them. He said it was clearly the fault of the gatemun. At the crossing where the accident took place there is considerable travel and the compafy has erected a patent alarm, which rings at the approach of a train. Drivers of vehicles, however, pay little at- tention to the gong. ‘Telying on the guteinan, who stands there ali day raising and lowermg the gates, LITTLE HOPE OF RECOVERY.

Correspondence ef The Eveniug Star. Hyarrsvitix, Mp., July 28, 1892. The single and anti-single tax factions are both waiting for Judge Brooke to give his decision upon the issuing the writ of mandamus, and each faction seems confident of gaining the cate. One of the counsel for the single tax op- ponents says that the taxes cannot be collected while the judge is holding his decision, and | even if the case is declared in favor of the single tax advocates the taxes cannot be col- lected until the question is settled by the court of appeals, and that in other words their hands are tied for the present. Town Treasurer Rich- ardson says that he is collecting the taxes right along, and Mr. Ralston states that the court has issued no order to that effect, and that the other side is laboring under a mistake. He in | of the opinion that Judge Brooke will not render a decision before a week. Among the numerous letters that Mr. Ralaton has received is the following from a lady who is said to be a | daughter of Harriet Beecher Stowe Wottastex Heronrs, Mass. Mr, Jackson H.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. Loox Lage, ¥., July 26, 1892. Among the numerous mountain resorts none are more beautifal than those surrounded by the bracing influence of the Adirondacks. Loon Lake, which is situated in the very heart of the mountains, has been the scene of numer- ous summer gayeties, calculated to make every visitor sorry when the day of departure comes. There is a pool tournament in progress, in which Mr, Warren Hoeke of Washington has won every game, and he undoubtedly will be ‘the proud possessor of the prize, a $19 cue. A beautifully played tennis match has just been complet and the winners are being feasted by the guests. There is also the lake with its splendid com- plement of boats, which may be hired at a nominal price, and for those who are nervous Buides are wed at the lowest possible esti- mate. But the ladies are not forgotten, and between numerous euchre and whist contests, coupled with balls in plenty and dancing every evening, their time is pretty well occupied.
