The Secrets of a Kentucky Cave.
The reading public will doubtless re
member the hanghijj of Richard Shuck in
1877 iu.Owen county, Ky., for the muitlcr
of one Pnrrisli, his fathcr-iu-law. This
hanging was witnessed by seven thousand
people, and was attended by many dra
matic and unusual circumstances. AH of
the leading daily papers of Louisville and
Cincinnati published graphic and extend
ed accounts of it, and the Northern press
congratulated Kentucky en having within
her borders twelve fearless jurymen who
were net ashamed te de their duty. Shuck
protested his innocence of the crime en
the scallbld, but left a written confession
partially exculpating himself and implica
ting live ether men in a scries of robberies
and murders without a parallel in the an
nals of crime. Three of these five men
were brothers, and the ether two were
father and son. Their names were Good Goed
rich and Simmons. Old Jim Simmons,
the patriarch and chief of this tribe of cut
throats, was a very remarkable, although
an illiterate man, and possessed unbound
ed iniluencc ever the minds of his asso
ciates. Jack, his son, was, if the state
ments of Shuck arc true, the most inhu
man wretch who ever escaped the gallows.
He was the principal or accomplice in
seven murders, and was concerned in nu
merous robberies and moonshine whisky
allairs. lie lived several years in western
Missouri, and while there was accused of
being a member of Jesse James's gang of
assassins and bank robbers. The three
Goedrich brothers wcre farmers living near
tiie Kentucky river, and were considered
hard characters by their neighbors and ac
quaintenccs. Four of these individuals were arrested
and ledged in Newcastle jail, but Jack
Simmons, the worst of the let, escaped,
and, notwithstanding large rewards were
ellered for his apprehension, dead or alive,
managed te elude the vigilance of his pur
suers. Seventy-five men surrounded the
weeds in which he was believed te be con
cealed. He was seen ence and six shots
were tired at him. One of the shots ap
peared te take effect, but he contrived te
escape. Nothing mere was ever heard
about him, and he was supposed te have
tied te Texas or the Black Hills.
" King Jim," as the papers dubbed him
and his pals were tried by Judge Smith, or
Henry county, and held ever without bail
te await the action of the criminal court.
A short time after the trial a mob of
masked men, forty or fifty in number,
rode into Newcastle at midnight, sur
rounded the jail, compelled the jailer te
give up the keys, unlocked the deer, took
the prisoners from the building, marched
them te a stone bridge near town and
hung them from the parapets an awful
but doubtless fitting end te such wretches.
Many a belated traveler wandering at night
through the dark and gloomy ravines that
border en the Kentucky river, had met a
mero horrible death at their hands. Ne
man's life was sate if he ventured in "King
Jim's" dominions with a roll of money in
his pocket, or a geld watch en his person.
This account of Shuck and his associates
is essential as ah introduction te the 10
maindcr of this narrative.
On the 17th of this month Jehn Harnett
and Andrew Hawkins, two reliable gentle
men, living near Lockpeit, had occasion
te leek for some missing cattle that had
wandered from their pastures. After a
search of several hours the cattle were
found browsing ei the rich blue grass that
grows luxuriantly at the feet of the
" Crew's Nest," the fanciful name given
by the natives te a high and rocky hill in
the neighborhood of Lockport, After
resting for some time, Mr. IJarnett's at
tention was called te an opening in the
side of the hill that resembled the mouth
of a cave. Surprised that lie had failed
te notice this en ether occasions, he saw at
the feet of the elevation a thick cedar
tree, or, rather, bush, that for many years
had grown en a projecting ledge of rock
immediately in front of this hole, thereby
effectually concealing it from the view of
the passers-by. In the storm of the pre
ceding night this bush had been uprooted
by the wind and had rolled te the bottom,
thus revealing the existence of the open
ing. After a brief consultation the two men
decided te climb up and ascertain if the
hole was nearly a cave. They quickly
made the ascent, and as Mr. Hawkins hap
pened le have some caudles among the
goods that he had purchased in Lockport
that morning, they resolved te explore the
aperture if it proved te be a cavern.
When they arrived at the hole it appeared
te be the mouth of an underground pas
sage of considerable extent. They boldly
ventured in, and after crawling along for
twenty or twcnty-llve feet they suddenly
found themselves in an apartment about
twenty feet square. It had the appear
ance of a square room, and was tolerably
well lighted from an aperture in the side
or reef.
After looking around they were amazed
te find conclusive evidence going te show
that it had at one time been inhabited by
human beings. In one corner they found
a rude bench roughly made of stone, and
eh a nail driven in the rock they saw hang
ing an old worn suit of jeans clothes, mil
dewed and rotten from long disuse and ex
pesure te the damp air of the cave. In
another corner they found a pallet of
straw, and en this bed they were horrified
te beheld a ghastly skeleton. The llcsh
had left the bones, and the hair had almost
disappeared from the head. At the feet
of the bed they noticed a tin box. Hastily
getting possession of this box they rapidly
made their way te the upper air, and in an
hour were in Lockport engaged in narrat
ing te a gaping crowd of rustics their
wonderful adventure in the bowels of the
earth.
The tin box was opened, and its contents
exposed te the eager gaze of the crowd.
It contained two geld watches, a full set
of counterfeiter's plates and tools, a pack
age of counterfeit notes, a package of
bends, supposed te be stolen from a bank
at Scdalia, Me., and a large revolver with
the name of Jack Simmons roughly carved
en the handle. AH doubts of the identity
of the mysterious skeleton were removed,
and the notorious robber, counterfeiter
and murderer, Jack Simmons, was, with
out doubt, the man who perished miser
ably in that lone cavern in the Kentucky
river hills.
A few days age the remains were re
moved from the cave and giveu te Dr.
Leng, at Bethlehem, who new has them
in his possession. The doctor ascertained
from an examination that a ball had
pierced the right lung, and had beyond
question caused the man's death a short
time after the wound was intlicted. It is
believed that Simmons received this fatal
shot from the sheriffs posse, who, in at
tempting te arrest him, fired at him six
times, and he had just strength enough te
get te this rendezvous of his gang. His
fearful death in this out-of-the-way place
was a fitting termination te such a life as
his.
The contents of the box found near his
remains are exposed te public view in the
office of the county clerk, and people from
all parts of the county have examined
them.

What the Republicans Would De.
Frem Senater Rayard's P.altlmcrc speech.
The Republican party conceive them
sclvcr te be superior te the popular will.
Theirs is the insolence of office of which
Shakespeare speaks : They arc drunk with
power, they assail us as criminals simply
because we assert our rights. Only the
ether day I read an interview witii a rep
resentative man of the Republican party
the secretary of its national committee
who unbosemed himself te a reporter of
the New Yerk Ifcrtild a pajicr always
ready te give a blew or a dig at the Demo
cratic party, and net always fairly. This
Republican was the individual known as
ex-Senater Derscy, of Arkansas. This per
son, who may be described as a bird of
passage, and who te the people of Arkan
sas probably is known as a bird of prey
(applause) spoke te the interviewer of
United States Marshal Dudley, of Indiana,
in the following strain : " He (Dudley) is
full of fire and determination. He leeks
fight and means business. If necessity
called for it he would Hush the streets of
Indianepalis with bleed and never wince."
(Hisses ) Te think that this wretched
carpet-bag adventurer should venture te
use such language concerning American
freemen! What is the necessity that
would flush the streets of Indianapolis or
Baltimore with bleed? He means that
thc"Rcpublican party would use the mili
tary te carry the elections by force the
military whose duty it is te preserve the
peace and protect the lives of the very
men whom they are called upon te slay.
This is no empty figure of speech. The
same thing has been done before ; the bay
onet has repeatedly been used te pin 'he
ballet back into the ballet-box.
Hancock's ScIflsullcss.',
Maysville (Ky.) Bulletin.
There is one man, at least, in Maysville
who docs net give credit te Gen. Grant's
charge of selfishness against General Han
cock. It is Mr. Jerry Sullivan, a well
known and respected Irish citizen, who
was a soldier in the regular army under
Hancock when he was a captain. Mr. S.
says that se far from being selfish he was
one of the most se'f-sacrificinir men he
ever knew, and one of the most consider
ate of his men. As an instance of a com
mendable trait in Hancock's character, he
relates the following incident : The com
pany had been ordered te Fert Suclling in
the Northwest, and en the long niarc.i
many of the men were taken with cholera.
It grew worse and worse, until it raged as
a pestilence, and men died every day.
Every officer and man who was able te
leave the infected camp went except Han
cock, who remained and ministered te the
sick and dying with his own hand until
the disease had run its course. Many of
the men who recovered ewe their lives te
his attention, and Mr. S. thinks it will be
a difficult matter te induce any member
of that command te believe that their old
commander is the man Grant pictures him
te be.
The Other Side of It.
Ne.v Yerk Herald.
Willard Warner, of Alabama, a Repub
lican carpet-bagger for a time in the Sen
ate, addresses a letter le a Republican con
temporary giving the platform of the solid
Seuth. The solid Seuth, according te Mr.
Warner, will revise the tarilf, spend the
coin new hoarded in the treasury, repeal
the tax en state banks, destroy the nation
al banks, establish state banks, repeal the
federal laws supervising the elections, ami
limit the authority of the federal govern
ment. This is a startling pregramme, and will
no doubt have due weight in keeping up
the cry of the Republicans that the coun
try is going te the devil unless Garfield is
elected. Bnt all this time one argument
is forgotten namely, that for some years
past the Democratic party has been in pos-scssien-ofthe
Senate and Heuse of Repre
sentatives. The Democrats have had the
pewci te reduce the tariff, but they have
net done se. They could have spent the
money in the treasury, but it remains
there. They could have interfered in the
payment of the national debt, but they
have voted appropriations steadily te sup
port the public credit and pay our pensions.
As te the marvelous prosperity which the
Republicans attribute wKelly te President
1 layers s administration, it is forgotten that
the pre i.:cnt of the United States, with
out the help of or ant agonized by Congress
would be helpless.
What a Weman of Will Did.
In Ulster county, New Yerk, there is a
woman of real grit who inherited fourteen
years age a large estate, consisting princi
pally of farming property, heavily encum
bered with debt. It was the old homestead
and she could net bear the idea of seeing
it pass into the hands of strangers, and
was determined that it should net. Al
though then only twenty-four years old,
and with no mere practical knowledge of
life than an ordinary country lass, she as
sumed sole charge of the estate, deter
mined te clear it of debt. Having an old
mother sixty-two years of age, a half sis
ter, also helpless from old age, the two
orphan children of a deceased brother, and
a brother in the last stages of consumption
te provide for, this made her task doubly
hard. A little experience taught her that
it was impossible te support her large fami
ly and keep up interest arising from the
heavy indebtedness of the estate from the
resources of the farm. She decided upon
school teaching. She was engaged te
teach in her own neighborhood at 8
per month, and her salary in a short
time was raised te $ 10 per mouth. She
has continued school teaching ever since,
directing the work of her farm, and dur
ing the summer vacations going into the
harvest field with the farm hands te pitch
en hay, rake, bind, &c. She has earned
from teaching school ever $3,500, paid off
the debt of the old homestead, and greatly
improved the property. She has been an
extensive stock-raiser. Her wheat crop
averaged this year forty-two bushels te
the acre, the largest yield in the county.
A short time age she learned that a breth-cr-in-Iaw
living in Pennsylvania, was in
destitute circumstances. She went te him
