puie=- TR KENTUCKY'S CAVERN. A Twenty Miles' Trip. Through Subterranean Passages and Chambers. | Mammoth Cave, With a History of | Its Phonomena and Wondor- fal Properties. Correspondent Cincinnati Commercial, One of the greatest natural curiosi- ties in the world lios less than two hundred miles from Cincinnati, Res- idents of this city can reach it in ten hours of pleasant travel, and yet it is safe to say that not one out of every two hundred of the citizens of the Queon City have ever seen it. A hundred people visited Niagara falls to every one who visits the wonderful cavern of Kentucky. There are va rious reasons for this. First, rara is fortunate in being well advertised, while Mammoth cave, for some rea- son, seldom sees it name in print. Socondly, Niagara falls is managed for all the money it is_capablo of bring- ing to its shrewd ageats, whercas Mammoth cave, until very recently was under the control of non- progressive ideas. Third, Niagara livs ancovered boneath the noonday sun, and distant view of its splendor can alwags be had; Mammoth Cave is hid- | den in the darksome depths of the earth, with nothing visible to the out- side world but its cavernous wmouth Fourthly, Niagara lies almost in the direct line of travel between the great centers of castorn and western popu- Iation, and is of comparatively casy access; Mammoth Cave is situated in a wild region of the south, near which no great tide of travel flows, and is eight miles from the nearest railroad atation. And yet, in spite of all this, the subterranean exposition of natural wonders is worth more than the time, | s trouble and money it requires to sce it. SOMETHING ABOUT THE CAVE. Before attempting to describe any of the wondrous sights of the cave it might be well to briefly set out a fow historical facts about it. Mammoth cave is situated in, or rather under Edmonson county, Ky., the center of the wildeat section of the state. The noted James brothers, it is eaid, have several times been in hiding within cannon shot of the place. There are over seven thousand square wmiles of limestone formation in this section, aud all of it is supposed to be honcy- combed by subterrenean passages and cavernous halls. The whole county of Edmonson is dotted with sink-holes and nearly four huundred cavern- mouths have been discovered, though most of them give access to but very emall caves. Only one entrance been discovered to Mammoth cave; at least, but one has ever been made public, It is believed the guides could tell of other means of entrance or exit, but it is their business to keep this knoweldge, if there besuch, to themselves. The cave lies under a high table land which rises 312 feet above the waters of Green river. THE ENTRANCE TO THE CAVE is at the end of a ravine back of the Cave hotel, and 118 feet below the building. The visitor goes down a winding path until he arrives at the place where the ravine seems to have run up against a precipitous bluff and knocked a huge hole in the hillside. The hole is the mouth of the cave. It is twenty-four feet in height and thirty wide. A small stream of clear water flows from between ‘the rocks above the opening and falls upon the rocky bed below with pleasing eftect. At nearly every season of the year a constant fog or bank of mist obscures the entrance, caused by the meeting of two atmospheres, one of which is colder than the other, and thus con- denses the moisture in the air where the meeting takes place. Upon the day we entered the cave the tempera- ture inside and outside happened to be about the same, and the fog was absent, something that rarely occurs, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR of the cave never varies. Until re- cently it was declared that the constant temperature inside the cave, winter, spring, summer and autumn, was 50 © ‘ahrenheit. But very recent scien- tific tests have shown that this meas- urement was marked five degrees too high; the tomperature is shown to be but 500, and from that it never varies, The atmosphere is very pure, Oxy- gen and nitrogen bear the same re- lation to each other in the cave at- mosphere that they do m the air out- side; but there is much less carbonic acid gas in the cave than is found m the air we breathe. In the dryer parts of the cavern the proportion is about 1-5000th and ncar the rivers it is less satill. Not a trace of ammonia has ever bean found in the cave prop er. The humidity of the atmosphere variesss you decend to the river and lake regions. Inthe upper avenues and chambers, upon the walls and fioors of which nitrate of lime 1s de- posited, there is a destitution of moist- ure almost absolute. Here animal matter mumnmifies instead of decaying by putrefaction. A dead body lett in these passages would turn to a mum- my. In these same regions, for the same reasous, dust never rises. Not a trace of ozone can be detected, It is said that the atmosphere of the cave is the most exhilarating on the face of or in the earth. Fragile, deli- cate women have been known to travel on foot over ten, and even twenty miles of the rocky, rough passages in the cave, experiencing little or no fatigue, whereas they could not walk one-third the distance in the open air. The ereat purity of the cave’s atmos phere is not fully realized until the ex- plorer emerges into the ‘‘sweot, pure country air” of the outside world. The passages from one to the other at first is like transition from the air of the streets into a close dormitory, where ascore of sleepors have spent the night. GOOD FOR CONSUMPTIVES, This extreme pority of the atuos phere of the cave founded the im- pression, some fifteen years ago, that a residence there would cure, or at least check, consumption. The test was a sorrowful one, A half dozen consumptives, about 1843, entered the cave for the distance of a mile or more, where they erected huts of stone and some of wood, in which they took up their residence. During the first few days they were greatly encouraged by the effect. Then be- gan a reaction, Several of them soon died in the cave, and all the rest cx pired soon after their return to the external air. Let physicians exp'ain the cause of this effect. Short trips |into the cave are advantageous to people afflictod with lung troubles, in tlammatory rheumatism and dysen tery he public ought to be warned, ho dolicate as may be the sub ject of the warning, that there certain constant periods in every lady's life when, under no circum stances, should she enter the cave Serious results, and even death, have frequently followed this violation of nature's law, when the victim was en tirely ignorant that she was detying death, HOW DISCOVERED, It 18 a matter of legend, if not of history, that Mammoth Cave was dis covered by a hunter many years ago who chased a bear into the mouth Hao followed und explored it for quite a distance. The Indians, however had oceupied the main cave years be fore. Evidences of their aborigina habitation were discovered to a dis tance of a mile and a half back from the entrance—then up to the verge of the Bottomless Pit. This awful sink- hole they could never s, a8 it was one hundred and seventy feet deep wd extends entirely acroes the pas sage. But white man's ingenuity long aftorward threw a bridge the chasin and gave access to miles upon miles of the eavern, which ex tonds still further into the bowels of the earth, a distance of seven and a half miles. THE CAVE BREATILES, strange as it way seem. For half a year it inhales the outer air; then it holds its breath for a few days, after which it exhales for a six months’ period. In other words, during snm- mer months, shen the external tem- perature is much warmer than is the {temporature of the cave, a constant am of air pours out of the mouth; the hotter the weather grows the stronger grows the blast from the cave. When the external temperatare is about thoe same as the cave's— that is, fitty-four degrees—a calm exists in the cavern's mouth and it holds its ich was the condition when we visited it. But in winter, when the thermometer goes down toward zevo, the cold air of the valley rushes into the cave as though pursuing an army of dewmons into hades. At cer- tain sensons of the year the current of air in the passages near the mouth is 80 great that lights are blown out This current of air becomes neutral- ized, however, as one oes further in, and finally is allayed entirely by the reservoir properties of the enlarging chambers, which are to be found after a distance of half a mile. SALTPETER was manufactured in the main cave in 1812, by Archibald Miller, of Phila- delphia, who took it to the east and sold to the American gevernment to be used in the manufacture of gun- powder. The cave is still just as rich a mine of deposit for the mineral as it was then, but nobody could now suc- cessfully compete in manufacturing it there with tho markets of foreign lands. The East Indies and South America at this later day supply the trade. Potash saltpeter is largely shipped ull over the world from Boni- bay and Calcutta. Whoreas soda- saitpoter is found in unlimited supply in the Desert of Atacama, on the west coast of South America.§This profitable arid desert lics partly in Bolivia, party in Chili and partly in Peru, and it is the invocent cause of the fierce war which has but just been waged among these thres governments, It is hardly likeiy that anybody will ever 2o to war over the rights to Mam- moth cave saltpeter beds. The pe- tritied hoof tracks of and ruts of cart wheels made in 1812 are still to be seen in the cave nearest the entrance. The saltpeter pitsard the bored I used as aqueducts to convey wi into the cave for use in making the saltpetor, are still in_existence, and owing to tho purity of the atmosphere, their wood it is,as solid and perfect to- day as when placed there, nearly sev- enty years ago, DANTE'S INFERNO. Neither Dante nor Jules Verne has ever been in Mammoth Cav It is not strange, therefore, that neither, in their pictures of subtorranean hor- rors and mysteries, has pictured any- thing eo awfully sublime, so grandly impresaive, as this greatest of na- ture's exposition. The mind of man canuot grasp the glory of nature’s work in these ‘rns until his eyes have scen and his goul felt the subterranean wonders. It is notin the power of man to de- scribe what is to be scen in these un- derground halls and i will mot be attempted We shall give some facts and data con- ol « the most wonderful of the thousand ts that are to be seen there, T There are three regular guides at- GUIDES, and several ‘‘subs,” The oldest is Mat, a colored man, who has lived nearly sixty years. at has been guide in the cave for forty-two years. His son Henry is one of the substitutes, and has been taking parties in for fiftcen years, The other two regular guides are Wil- Jiam and Nicholas, both colored, William is a ventriloquist in his way, and puts the gift to pleasing use for the benefit of hisguests, The originul guide, whose daring explorations re- vealed many of the wonders of the cave to cwilization, was Stephen Bishop. His remains lie buried under the red clay of tne neighboring hills, A mistaken idea prevails that the guide will ~ collect ‘bitant fees from the tourists he takes in charge. This idea should be exploded. He 1s paid a wonthly sal- ary by the manazer of the cave, and is entitled to no fees unless the vis- itors freely contribute a quarter apicce, which they neatly always do, to show their certain appreciation for his efforts to pleasc everybody. Each vigitor to the cay two or three dollars at the hotel office for a ticket admitting him respectively to the short or long route in the cave. He joins the regular party of the route indic ated, and a guide sets out with such a party at a stat>d hour in the day. Tourists over the short route start usually at 7 o'clock 1n the evening and after exploring about eight miles of underground passages, return t the earth’s surface an hour befor midnight. he long-route voyago usually start at 10 o’clock in the dav tached to the cav time, and get back about ¢ or7 o'e K in the evening, after trampir through nearly sixteen miles of the miraculous, They take lunch with them, which the guide carries, and eat ually in Washington hall, 18 seven miles from the mouth. Each isitor carries an oil lamp, The guide carries two, and also has with him a bottle of oil, from which he vefills the lamps while tho party is unching lunch, Tna haversack at is sido he carries a supply of white tight powder, This he uses from time o time to illuminate the wonders of he underground world. OWNERSHIT, The cave is owned by an estate which possesses 1,600 acras of the wild lands about and around the en trance. It is managed by Francis Klett, an intelligent, highly educated \ustrian, who took charge of the es tate a year ago, and has already hrown much hte into the manage ment, The great drawback at pres. eut to the cave as a popular resort is he difliculty in getting to it. Though only cight miles from the Louisvillo | and Nashville railroad, no branch road | accross the country to the cave has | over been projected. Mr. Klett| «ays the railroad company refuse to build the branch becauso they want to buy the cave and are sharp enough uot to add to its attractive qualities. | Ho declares that the estate will in a fow years have a railroad built across the country westward to the Ohio river, which is but twenty miles dis tant. Meanwhile the experienco of an old-time stage ride through such a wild country will give people of this luxurious generation a taste of travel as our grandfathers found it half a hundred years ago.

' Terrible Struggle in a Railroad Car With n Desperado. Dotroit Post. Doc At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a thrilling episode occurred on the Michigan Central in-bound express train near Kalamazoo, and but for the courage of a woman might have end- ed in a terrible tragedy. When the train neared Pokagon a man, who had been apparently eugaged in reading a newspaper, was seon to rise suddenly in Ins seat, and turning to a porson seemingly his companion, shouted in loud tones. “You give me your re- volver and let me go or T will brain you!" A desperate struggle instantly eusued between the two men, and the startled and now thovoughly fright- ened passengers precipitately fled from the car, with the cxoeption ofa plucky little woman. The man who uttered the exclama- tion was Henry W. White, alias Bur- ton, a notorious stage-robber, bandit, and desperado, en route to the Detroit house of corrcetion. The individual he addressad was United States Mar- shal P. P. Wilcox, of Denver, Col., who had him in custody. The excla- mation was instantly followed by the prisoner bringing down on the officer’s head with terrible force a pair of handcuffs, which he had cunningly picked from his wrists with a tooth- pick. The officer was momentarily stunned by the blow, but made a des- perate resistance. Blow after blow was rained on tho officer’s head by the prisoner with the handeufis and then he made a success- ful offort to get the revolver. The officer shouted for help, but none came. The prisoner cocked the revolver, held it against tho ofhi- cor's breast, and pulled the trigger, but it failed to porform the work in- tended for it. A desperate struggle for the possession of the revolver, a six-shooter of 44-calibre, known as a bulldog, now took place on the part of the oftice Now it was in his hands snd then in that of the prison- er. The most mysterious thing about the strugle is that, although each tried to fire the revoly it failed in each case to respond. The muzzle of the weapon while in the hands of the prisoer was thrust gainst the left temple of the ofticer with such force that the prints of it wore plamly dis cernible when Lo arrived in Dotroit, During the contest the lady, a Mrs, Smithson, from Denver City, remain- ed in the car and labored heroically to wd the officer. She threw her arms about the desperapo’s neck and tried to hold his hands. She remon- strated with him and tried to caln his fury. Toward the close of the struggle, the prisoner seeing he could not kill the officor nor got possession of the keys to unlock the shackles on his feet, placed the muzzle of the re- volver against his heart and again it refused to respond. Finally the offi- cer grabbed the bell-rope and stopped the train. A brakeman, attracted by the struggle, had come into the car, but was afraid to touch the prisoner. The struggle was fortunately brought to a close by the opportune appearance of C. F. Chapin, of Denver, from the forward car, who joined forees with the offi- cer. The two guards, whom the offi- cer had brought with him, were in the baggage car, smoking during the struggle. Word finally reached them of the peril of their chief, and they came rushing to the rescue. The prisoner was soon reduced to subjec- tion, and his hands pinioned behind his back. White did not hesitate to announce that he intended to kill the officer, rob the passengers, and make Liis oscape to the north woods, He said he was virtuallya dead man when once within the wulls of the house of correction, Wilcox with his prisoner arrived in Detroit 6:30 o'clock Saturday evening, the latter has beon lodged in the hiouge of correction, to which he has been sentenced for life. White weighs about 150 pounds, has sandy hair and mustache, and keen gray eyes, He is s lithe a8 a punther. He is quite well cducated, and has all the requisite alents for a thief. His courage 18 mquestioned, and his daring unsur- mssed. He was b rn in Barton county, Texas, twenty-eight years 1go. His hands are red” with human siood; and his few years marked with sther crimes, The first man he killed vas his father, During his brief arcer he has robbed the passengers which | | the tra | [rado.

There were thirteen pas sengers in the cos and White did the work unaided. He jlaced a pole | across the road on which lie suspended gunsacks, When the coach drove up he halted the driver Possessing | wonderful powers of mimicry, he personated the s of three or four behind the breastworks he had The passengers were thoroughly frightene by such imposing display of foree, and permitted to White parade themon the roadside. He blind-fold=d them, went through their pockets, and robbed the mail bags. Ho then mado his oscape, and the passengers after he soon discovered the ruse Was played upon them, White was soon aftcr captured at Pueblo, While en | route to Denv ity he jumped off| n and tried to got a horse that men reared stood near by, Hoe was recanturad and taken to his de:tination, tried, convicted and sentenced for life to the Laramie city penitentiary. Uponit being revresented to the judie of that | district that the prison at that point was an unsafo place for White's character the changed to the Detroit H rection, United States Marshal formed a Post and Ti Saturday evening th with seores of desperate nen, but had never met the equal of White, e said he took every necossary precan tion, he thought, to bring lim in safety to this city.
