a “THE LURAY CAVERNS Exploration of Wondrous Caverns in Virginia. CHAMBERS OF STALACTITES. Beauties of Coral Cascade and Giant Hall. Luray, Page County, Va., Nov. 4, 1978. ‘Tho exploretion of the caverns which take their name from this little village, and which are now des- tined to become famous as one of the world’s won- fers, still continues. Each day—almost each hour— develops some new wonder, and it remains an open question whether the beautiful mountain county of Page is not the upper crust of s vast succession of subterranean mysteries. On every side of the already @iscovered and explored caverns is found passages nd outlets to as yet unknown regions and most of which are so far impassable, owing to the lack of means and the absence of necessary machinery with which to operate and open them up. It is more thian probable that the proprietors, with m eye to their own interests, will confine their operations below to the limits of the thirty-eight acres which they wore lucky enough to purchase when one of them, Mr. Campbell, first diseovered the “rabbit hole’ at the base of Cavo Hill. And, by the way, it is more than likely that the fortunate discoverers and adventurous explorers will ‘ncounter considerable trouble in maintaining their fight and title to the cavernons property which they bought ata commissioner’s sale, for even now the former owners are exhausting all the legal talent of the county'in an endeavor to regain possession of it. Of course the lawyers will encourage them in this wffort as long as there remains a chance to get a re- tainer and a prospective big fee. THE CAVERNS, Aw already described in the Hxnatp the new discov- tries are located under a knob or spur of the Massan- nutton range, about one mile or a little over west of this village. The entrance, which has been sunk to & depth sufficient to admit of putting in an ordinary door, is on the east side of the hill, and the main caverns, after running north for about four hnndred and fifty yards, turn off ina northwesterly direction, extending probably over a mile as far as explored. The descent to the door is some thirty feet in day- light, and as many below in the darkness when stand- ing on the floor of the vaulted and extensive ante- chamber, as it has been appropriately called. This compartment is about eighty by one hundred feet, with the rugged ceiling ranging from thirty to forty fect, and is decorated with masses of stalactites and large column in the centre reaching nearly to the roof 12 by 25 feet in extent. It is very handsome, but as if designed tor thepurpose of an antechamber, does hot compare with the gorgeous draperics and maguifi- cent spectacles in the rooms beyond, ‘THE SOUTHERN TIER OF CHAMBERS, Excepting the faint ray of daylight that penctrates trom the doorway, the darkness is intense, and can- yilles, the only artificial light yet within the means of the proprietors or the resources of Luray, are brought into active requisition. Each visitor, guide and man- ager is furnished with a “dip,” and the party starts on its tourof exploration. When 1 first went in the party consisted of about thirty persons, all natives but your correspondent, who caused considerable sensation with the locomotive headlight which was kindly fur- nished me by Colonel E, T. Smith, one of the superintendente of the Chesspeake and Ohio Railroad. A locomotive headlight had never been seen in the Luray Valley before, and this avant-courier of a railroad, which they have been vainly expecting for years, was hailed with delight, not only ss a good omen of a future railroad, but as a curiosity scarcely surpassed by the caverns them- selves. Leaving the antechamber and proceeding to the left through o low arch, the party passed suc- cessively through an entire suit of beautiful cham- bers resplendent and dazzling with stalacta of every possible shape and color. In many instances these chambers resemble grottoes, and the floors are as much objects of curiosity as the walls and ceilings, from the fact that the stalagma is just as grand and beantiful as the stalacta. The main curiosities, how- ever, in this range are the blacksmith’s shop, socalled because of the close resemblance of two small stalag- mites, located near an apparent grate for a furnace, bear to anvils. The shape is almost perfect, and a “blackened incrustation, evidently the result of some mineral in the earth above, in the white stalactites strengthens the illusion. In another chamber is a small statuette which the enthusiastic imaginations of tho natives have tortured into a model of Napo- ‘eon. Icannot say that the likeness in this instance is a8 good as that in the casoof the anvils in the blacksmith’s shop. Next is the “Oratory,” where tho fluted columns of an immense sheet of stalacta sur- mounted by a canopy looks exactly like an organ in a hturch,. the colors only differing, and beiug more brilliant in the light of our candles than can possibl: be deseribod. Then comes low-arched passages - ing to four unexplored rooms beneath this range. In another chamber is an exact picture of an cagle’s ea and all of ‘them are covered with the most brilliant stalactites of every color, At the further end of this tior i# & large chamber, in which is a curiosity named the Leaning Tower, and which also has a miniature lake with clear water. The Leanin, ‘Tower is a huge stalactite fitteen foot in diameter and some twenty-five long, which has broken away from the dome and now lies in an Eur From the peculiar formation at its top may have hap- pened some thousands of years ago. This ended the southern range, and returning to the antechamber, where two pee i mountaltioers were employed to carry the we forw' to explore the wonders to the west and northwest. «it ‘THE WESTERN RANGE. ‘The route. in this direction is im by chasms, gullies and hills; but with singular ingenuity the proprictors have already bridged over the former, and Bade the ascent and descent of the latter easier by comfortable wooden stairways. But an immense inount of labor has yet to be expended to make the tomplete trip through the caverns aa expeditious and safeas the average tourist and visitor will require. A guide with a candi@ is the loader, the headlight next and the party following, we passed through a long eorridor, and suddenly, far beyond, the rays from the reflector opened to our view a large chamber or am- phitheatre, in which were columns reaching tho roof, and ‘around which were galleries and col- ounades of great extent and the most massive construction, These galleries stretched away out from the walls for a great distance with no other sup- port than that by which they were attached to the walls, and looking as if their immense weight must some time cause them to break loose and come crash- iug down to the floors beneath, awakening the echoes with subterranean thunder, The stalactitical specta- ele here is very grand. Pushing on through another sorridor we cross a bridge over Muddy Lake, which, the proprictors inform me, they had at first to navigate by 2 small boat, but in which there is not now a drop of water, and no one can account for ita disappearance or where it went to. A hill ia then aseended and, ad- Yyancing a short distance, the rays of the headlight, as it is termed, in every direction discloses to us an im- menke vacuum with the roof immediately above our heads and yawning chasms below on every side, Away to the right and beyond the hill aro tiers of exw fifty fect from the ground below and over- winging one of the great chasms. We took the route to the left and explored several large chambers full of stalactites, both on walls and ceilings, but one of which waa entirely devoid of stalagmites. This ts a chamber about one hundred feet square, and has in it three lakes, which accounts for the total absence of stalaginites, These three lakes are in ave Ay tprings, of which there are nearly one hun in ie caverns as far as discovered, and all of them, without exception, are exquisitely beautiful. On the left of this route is the “Skeleton’s Chasm,” and a ‘view of this is reached by a very perilous scramble over 4 slippery ridge, on either side of which are dangerous chasms, This is why the skeleton was first supposed to be petrified, it never occurred to the discoverers that any human being had within centuries past penetrated these caverns, and seeing a skeleton at the bottom of this chasm they at once Jumped to the conclusion that it must be petri- fed. It turns out now that the skeleton is the ro maine of an adventurer who at some remote period pbtained access to the caverus, and in wandering pad exploring them fell into the chasm and was ‘The bones are those of a small man, or a boy about fifteen years of age, 1 have in = possession & medical men portion of one of the thigh bones, whic! jotnce to be 4 veritable piece of human anatomy. ‘he skeleton {8 partially embedded in the mud, half, lof it protruding above the limestone incrustation hich has formed on the surface of the chasm.

NORTHERN BANGE. ‘The Giant’s-Hall 1s the name that has been given to this chamber because of its immensity. The caverns here turn northward. Before we reached it the party of thirty had broken up into squads and had scatter considerably over this vast room. When we entered our headlight cast its rays for a great distance, and the wandering visitors with their candles looked like so many pigmies as they flitted to and fro Naor the monster stalactites and columns with which the chamber is filled, At some points the great arched, ‘uneven roof rises to a height of 100 fect, from which is suspended the most enormous stalactites parare in the world, Some of them are shaped like icicles, but the great majority of them take the form of cur- tained drapery, and others assume the most fantastic and extraordinary appearances imaginable. For an immense distance around the most gnormous gal- leries hang, casting their shadows against the roof, leaving the mind to conjecture what must exist be- yond. A rough estimate makes this chamber eleven acres in extent, ull under one roof, but I am inclined to believe it is even more than this. In some places there, are great mounds of earth reaching nearly to the roof, which are reached by Binary opapetctad bridges, and when on the top the tou: to walk in it acl a crouched position, his back often the od bare granite ceiling which here is en ly de- void of stalacta, On the outer of these mounds are great chasius the depth of which are unknown, and are, perhaps, in some instances, unfathomable. ‘It is impossiblo. to convey even the faintest idea of the magnificence of the chambers in this'great hall. Col- ‘umns of stal: of the purest white, Ing in #ixo from six inches in diameter to three feet in height to fifteen feet in diameter and fifty fect in height, are everywhere to be seen, The ledges of the great gal- leries. are studded all along with every imaginable subterranean and stalactiticid formation, suggesting to the mind of the bewildered beholder hobgoblins and phantoms of description. These’ shapes. and fantasies are by the great shadows cast from the constantly moving and rather feeble lights of a numerous party. Even the powerful rays of our reflector failed to afford anything like an adequate light for tho apartment, but it did servo in a wonder- ful degree to develop the mysteries of the caverns and reveal to our gaze si of which we never before had the remotest conception. SOME OF THE WONDERS. On the route through this hall the visitors have to stoop and walk under an immense column of appar- ent Corinthian architecture which has fallen from the dome and stretches itself acrous the passage. It is about fifty fest long and ten feet in diameter, and is estimated by a party skilled in such matters to weigh 120,000 pounds and to have been several thousand years in the course of formation, Many of the it curiosities, from their colossal dimensions, must have begun the process of formation with the creation, for it is impossible to realize how such immense staluc- tites could reach their present size from the. mere dripping of limestoné water. Perhaps the mont in- teresting column or double column in the caverns is situated almost in the contre of Giant’s Hall. It is formed of 4 colossal stalagmite rising a distance of seventy foct and imbedding itself in the embrace of a monster stalactite dropping abont tho same distance, together forming a grand imperial column. It has been named the Double Column. Not far from this is another marvel of this under- ground world called the Partition, which is a wall of Paneperent stalacta six inches in thickness, with a ‘of thirty feet and’a height 6f fifty fost. It is a gem of natural architeeture, beautifully corrugated, aud itis perhaps safe to say that no human hand could construct anything to compare with it, and cer- tainly human eyes have never seen its equal above or under und, In another is a curiosit; now alled the ee Wing, whicl is about ten or twelv fect in length, white as the driven snow, and #0 t in shape that one could slmost ine the plumage real.

Many of the draperics and curtains, hang: in Most enormous masses, were so thin as to transparent, and presenting « | beautiful effect, when a light is placed behind them. Some of them were distinctly marked with red, blue and brown lines, like graining, others with every color of the rainbow, and all of them, when struck, emitted the most charming musical sounds, every note in the gamut being ced. Among the great. slabs and Suyperies ing from the domes there are many that are broken off, some of them near the centre; but what was most remarkable was the , absence of the pieces as broken off.

Hovsror, Oct. 31, 1878, Ono of the most cold blooded tragedies was enacted here to-night that has occurred in Houston for years, Ama: uamed,Adolph Shachtrupp, residing in the Fourth ward, beyond the bayou, was called from his house and family by a mounted man at the gate un- der the pretence of delivering # note, and was in- stantly killed with o load of buckshot from double ‘barrelled gun. Shachtrupp dropped at the first fire, with twelve shot lodged in his abdomen, and a second discharge carried another load through the house, Jodging the. shot promiscuoualy in the walls and doors, narrowly missing Shachtrupp’s wife, who was sitting in the range of the fire, inthe front room. Suspicion Tests strongly upon one Williant Coward, who was recently arrested in Grimes county and lo in jail at Navasota, for the theft of « mule from the deceased, It is rumored that he had broken jail and warrants were issued for his arrest for the murder.

Tho most material evidence was from Adolph Bickman, a boy fifteen years of age, and a nephew of the |. He was present when the man rode up to the gute and askod if Shachtrupp lived there. Witness went to the yate and asked man his name, to which he replied it was none of his business; just then deceased camo to his door; it was uite dark; the horseman asked if that was Shachtrapp: being answered in the affirma tive by the witness, he fited, killing ceased at the first shot; witness wns posi- tive that he recognized the man as Bill Coward; had known him two years, After the shooting he rode ll vay. Deceased never spoke after the shoot- ing. jas #oon after went to the house of his cousin, the married son of the deceased, to tell him what had happened. He stayed there with his cousin's wife while his cousin went to the scene of the murder, While the witness was there Coward rode up and asked for his cousin, son of di 1. The witness testified that Coward's wife was at the house of de- ccased during the day; that she had eent word that if he wotld not go to Navasota and or! by mae her husband in the theft case she would give him $100, Shachtrapp was employed by the Post Office ae mail driver, t, sae of citizens and two deputy sheriffs haye started ont to scour the country.

Kelly against the Gold and Stock Telegraph Company to restrain it from removing its instruments from plaintiff's office. ‘The defence is that Kelly keeps what is called by the regular stock brokers a “bucket shop” and that the Stock Exchange threatens to withhold their patron- age and stock quotations if the instruments are fur- nished to the bucket shops. The following is Judge Donohue's opinion:—“Passing over the wide range in law and ethies which counsel took in their argument and withont stopping to analyze the morality of the use made of the stock market by either of the parties to the suit or others, it appears to me that the contest narrows itself to a small compass. The value of the information obtained and sent by the defen- dants arises from the facilities Which they enjoy in the Stock Exchange, and without whieh the information they furnished would not be sought, ‘This infornration, it is alleged and not denied, is obtained from the Stock Beahange on terms leay- ing it substantially in the hands of the Stock Exchange to destroy the business of the defendants if they not obey the Stock Exchange directions, and the lat- ter corporation haye directed the defendants to stop ‘| the sale of the information to the plaintiffs, At least they virtually tell the defendants that. unleas this is done the defendants cannot have that. on which their existence substantially depends, I know of no law ade ae the Stock Exchange from doing this, and defendants receiving their news on these con- ditions must obey. In fact, within the principles laid down in Kiernan against the Mauhattan Quotation Telegraph Company the defendants might be re- strail from using the news except as contracted for.

The Chinese Method of Punishment for Bank Directors. a eee Grascow, Oct. 24, 1878. Glasgow can turn out the biggest prayer meetings as wellas the biggest swindlers. in tho United King- dom, Twice in every year they manage to have two Sundays in the week here. The regulation allowance of *“Sawbaths” is about enough for a people of ordi- narily fervent disposition, especially in a country which is not remarkable for the light-heartedness of its people, even during the profane days of the week. But one Sunday is not enough for this pigus nation and certainly insufficient for the most pious town in it. So to-day we have o sacramental fast. » On the first news of thig I bribed the waiter at my hotel to show. me an «advance copy of the bill of fare, but was relieved to find that there was no change in the programme, All the shops and theatres are shut as on Sundays and all the churches open; the working population has turned out into the dreary streets and is splashing about, with no partic- ular or object apparently; rough looking men, | with cropped hair and ears standing out at right angles from their heads—not # usual type in Scotch towns—have emerged from their lairs for the pur- pose rather of breaking the peace than keeping the fast, should say. Over all the city hangs adezisé and very damp fog, through which is descending, for the seventy-second consecutive hour, a steady: full of vain, Iam now perfectly satisfied that Scotch whis- key is an absolute necessity in Bonnie scot- land and that the Scotch mind be- comes naturally reconciled to the idea of cordials. I had forgotten, however, that the Glasgovians aro not to be denied all amusements upon this sacred day. The Tonic Sol-fa Choral Society are going to sing ex- tracts from “Jeptha,” ‘Joshua’ and “Elijah,” not forgetting “St. Peter” and the “Woman of Samaria,” while in the City Hall the Glasgow Select Choir will give « variety of sacred music, including three solos on the organ. IN JATL. Reading of these gayeties the mind, loving con- trasts, naturally turns to the six directors, man- ager and secretary who are debarred from par- ticipation in them. The iron must indeed now be entering into their souls, and they must be tasting the full flavor of the bitterness of their deg- radation. Yesterday at midday they were removed from their com} tively comfortable quarters in the county bi 8, Where they had been occu- pying the private roome of the chief constable and clerk to the Board of Police, and, their sccret exami- nation by the Sheriff being over, they were taken to the city prison, handed over to the governor, and at once in the cells which had allotted to them, . in the east wing, where untried prison- ers are kept, are left in small, dimly lighted cells to reflect upon condition, to con the past with the present. Grossly though they have con- ducted themselves, one can scarculy now say amen to Mr. Robertson's recent h that they might be tor- tured by the ghosts of wrecked lives and happy homes, Fortunately for them, says one of the local pape: the Prisons (Scotland) act, 1877, allo a certain relaxation of the rules with regard to untried persons. For example, prisoncrs can, with the consent of the » Visiting Committee, upon the — of @ reasonable sum, have their cells furnished with suitable bedding and other arti- cles tending to their comfort, pro their own food, rocure books and newspapers, obtain s certain quan- iy. 1904, 1926, 1926, 705, 759, 715, 1678, 1609, 627, 1935, 706.

On going in that direction the officer found » young woman lying on the ground apparently enduring great physical agony. An ambulance was called and on its arrival at the Reception Hospital on Ninety- ninth street, the woman was found to be unconscious. Every effort was made to revive her, but without ovail, as she was eet es from the effects of some noxious drug. ‘ly this morning she re- turned to consciousness, on being inte: said that her name was Amelia Davis, was twenty- three years of age and had been employed during the it suMMer as & domestic in a private family at New nswick, N. J., but refused to inform the pl ans her whereabouts subsequent to her arti this city, It was afterwards learned, however, that in a conversation with s woman employed about the hos- pital she admitted the fact that during her sojourn in the country she had formed the acquaintance of a hiitg owed whore name she rofiised to yive and had been betrayed. She had endeavored to hide her shamo by swallo’ a decoction which she had procured, and which, she was informed, would relieve her of her trouble. After taking the drug she entered an | Eighth avenue car and ba ene at 110th street, fecling very ill, and had on until she had sunk, in an exhausted condition, at the place where she was found. Dr, McDermott, the physician in eat the ital, allowed the woman to to her home st her own request, PETRIFIED CHINAMEN. (From the San Francisco Chronicle, Oct. 28.] A few days ago a Chinaman obtained a permit to disinter the bodies of some of his countrymen, buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery, for exportation to China. Accompanied by Mr. McDonald, tho officer appointed by the Board of Health to supervise disinterments, he went to the cemetery and the work of disinterment began, The first coffin opened was found to contain the petrified remains of a Chinaman, who died and ‘was buried some five years ago, The next coffin con- tained remains in perfect state of jon, which had in @rave more than four years, A oa of the mass of clothing whigh usually en- velops the body of # deceased Chinaman was mouldy and decayed, but the remains appeared as fresh as at the time of death. The body was raised to the sur. face and a close inspection made of {t, It slowed no signs of decay, even to the queue, eyebrows and eyelashes. Upon pressing the skin with a hatchet it readily yielded, and the indentations shortly afterward disappeared, What is more sur- fy Sage neck was found to be supple, and the head could moved from side to side. Another strange circumstance was the entire absence of any unpleasant odor arising from the body. Several visitors to the cemetery ed the remains, aud some made a care- ful examination thereof, The body was reinterred. with the hope by the Chineso bone exporter that the next time it ia brought to the surface the superfluous flesh will have dieap 5 pund where the interments were mude is sandy, and is moistened by springs. A short distance from the two graves men- tioned another coffin, Which was deposited some four or five years ago, was opened and nothing remiained of the contents but a fleshless skeleton, A well in- formed Chinaman of this city says that @ similar case approaching at the back, s is in 1863 by General Ses foresees of the questions involved, .

Last night a lecture was delivered in the Antient Concert Rooms, Great Brunswick street, on “Life in the Arctic Regions,” by Dr. John Rae, L.L. D., F. BR. G. 8., in aid of the funds of Mrs, Sullivan’s Cripples’ Home, at Bray. The Rey. Dr. Benson occupied the chair, The lecturer, after having stated the nevessity of those taking part in the Arctic expeditions being previously accustomed to exposure to cold and pri- vations, gave a most interesting account of two voy- ages which ho had made to those regions.

Having referred to the sufferings of Sir John Frankiin’s , he men- tioned some of the privations to which he (Dr. Rae) and his men were subject. They hud to sleep in the snow honses altogether in their clothes, and were unable to wash, being only able to rub themselves with snow. At tines they depended on their hunting for food, and were so hungry that they devoured the whole of the bitds they shot except the bill and claws. ‘Their drink was tea, water, chovolate, &e., but they took no grog.

For the most part, we believe, the accased directors and officials will have the benefit of these — privileges. ‘ GONE: You heard by cable of the flight of one of the shareholders. This turned out to be Mr. J. Fleming, an East Indian merchant, with an office at No. 116 St. Vincent street, Glasgow. For many years he was connected with his brother, Mr. John Fleming, im the firtn of Messrs. Smith, Fleming & Co., but ultimately ré@red from the firm and engaged in busi- ness for himself. He became # director of the bank in 1863, in room of Mr. Henry Dunlop, and was sne- ceeded in the directorate in 1875 by Mr. Innes Wright. His holdings of the City of Glasgow Bank stock amounted in 1806 to £20,123 in bis own name, and £19,061 jointly with his brother, John Fleming, London. Of this only £2,000 remained in Mr. Flem- ing’s name in 1476, and he still:holds that amount, his brother ap, ing a# holding £1,000, He is stated to be owing the City Bank £1,140,000, “WANTED.” Now Mr. Fleming, there is reason to know, mt ticularly wanted by the authorities, although they will not admit that they have auy warrant for his ar- rest. Their anxiety to see him is bee evident, but much to their disgust and to the disappointment of the shareholders and the mercantile community he is not to be found. Noone knows where he is. Some say he is hiding in London, others that he is well on his way to Spain, having chartered a ial nteamer, which lay to fot him off the coast of Kintire, and which he boarded from # small boat. Against this it 4a urged, by those who know that part of Argyleshiro well, that no «inal boat could live in tho sea which has been running during the last fortnight. It is said that an investigation into the management of the bank during his directorate will show thnt the mismanage- ment then, and that “when he gave up his seat at the Board he | goo his coll jes the to hold.’ ”* A co points out that when « bank fails in China the heads of the directors end officials are chopped off and thrown away among the assets. “These heads,” he says, ‘do not fail to wal @ large from their relatives, who are usually very sh Bag nently, When Ly nd bs og thing unknown for some hun: ot youre ‘o talk of bail is an insult to the hundreds of share- holders; besides, what would other nations think of our civilization ?” SHANLHOLD ERY AND DEPOSITORS, ‘ted the shareholders and de- As might be tors are running foul of another; the one claas ve to make good" , when called upon, to the fall extent of their fortancs or pittances ae the cnao may be, the other has lost its M4 money at one fell swoop and looks to the sharcholding claas for repay- ment. is, consequently, no love lost between them, and they are clapper-clawing each other in the local journals, Mr. Hi ry teving. hea, been ying to crowded ir.

It is a stroke of luck, in faet. To-day the taller and more solemn ministerial lunkey (regently engaged) repeats the same assurance. ‘War, if was we are to have, will be a troublesome and a costly affair. It promises, nevertheless, to be well worth ita cost inthe end, We may even be glad at the oj tunity new granted us of settling our relations with Afghanistan.” Tt will prc ly cost some fifteen millions sterling (the last war cost thirteen), and if in the end we bi up Afghanistan weshall find our- selves face to face with Russia, with the whole border in the condition of some of the European provinces of Turkey. Nevertheless, we are fortunate in being compelled to bring about that most promising state of things. If Russia has so compelled us let bs give our thanks. ‘Whether the insolent conduct of i has or has not been instigated by Russia ia more than we can say certainly. We will forgive hor freely if she has rendered us this service, whatever may have been the motive that has prompted her to it.” ee MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, —_> MARRIED.
