SKELETONS IN A CAVE.
a Mysterious Charnel House Discovered in
Virginia.
Bqistol, Tenn., Sept. 11. 'Jharles
Rector and a boy named Morris in
exploring a cave near this place yes
terday discovered skeletons, 40 feet
below the surface. The cave had long
been known, but no one had ever en
tered to explore it because of its great
depth. The Morris boy was let down
by a rope. When the find was re
ported a party of citizens went to the
cave to investigate further.
In all ten skeletons were taken out
and were adjudged to be the bones of
men. Old citizens say many years
ago there was an inn kept near this
cave by a man named Allen and occa
sionally people who stopped there
mysteriously disappeared and were
'never again heard of. The supposi
tion is that they were killed in this
inn, robbed of their valuables and then
consigned to the cave. Some of the
skeletons discovered were partially
buried under stones and many of the
bones were broken.

BLINDED IN AN INSTANT.
A Boy Strangely Stricken while Giing.in a
Stream.
It bam no, Pa.. Sept. 11. Totally
blinded lu an instant was the terrible
calamity that befell Charles Sweisher
today in a strange manner. He is a
14 year old boy. With aeveral com
panions he stood upon the bank of a
small stream gazing at his image as
reflected by the surface of the water.
Suddenly he gave a cry of terror and
fell unconscious. His companions
carried him home, where the usual
remedies for fainting were applied.
The lad soon recovered consciousness
and then it was learned that he was
stone blind. His. forehead legan to
swell to suuh an extent that the skin
broke in a number of places and a wa
tery substance oozed through the
pores. The physicians are of the
opinion that the boy was stung by
some poisonous insect. A member of
the family, who was with him at the
time, insists that nothing of the kind
occurred. The doctors are unable to
say whether the boy will ever recover
his sight.

Moonshiners Perpetrate a Horrible crime.
Ol-Ei.iKA, Ala., Sept. 11. Matthew
Whatley has been roasted alive by
moonshiners in Randolph county.
I'he moonshiuers had banded them
selves together for vengeance. The

ley testified against some of the men
He received several warning letters
threatening him with death unless he
desisted. Whatley continued to run
down the gang.
Several days ago he confided to
friends the fact that he had about suc
ceeded. Soou after nightfall What
ley was startled by a volley of shots
poured into his home. This was fol
lowed by a demand for him to surren
der. He failed to appear and his
house was set on tire. Then he sent
his wife and young children outdoors.
but, strange to say, they were not mo
lested. He se -ured his rifle. While
he was waiting for some of the mob to
appear one of them crept up to a win
dow, which commanded a view of his
position, aud fired a load of buckshot
into his body. He fell to the floor
badly wounded. Then fresh fuel was
added to the hre, and tne man was
burned alive.: -His agonizing cries
were plainly heard by people who were
coming to his assistance, but when
they got there the mob had fled.
