The driver of vehicle in the same manner as an ordinary th.mcht to I thunder, but afterward cided that it must come from a waterfall considerable magnitude. Working in general direction of the aoiwid. over a very dimcult trail, we came at noon on Thursday, October l.

to a large river, and discovered what must rank aa one of greatest waterfalls in the world. I he river burst diagonally through an nhnost MTpendicnlar cliff which I estimate le l.tKs) feet in bright, breaks into half iloren separate streams which divide and sulxli vi.le. spread out into broad, fanlike expansions, and twista about in such a curious corkscrew fashion that the water the bottom of the fall flows in exactly the opposite direction from the conrae it holds here it first comes into view. Hy clinging to bushes and going np the giant creepers hand over hand we climbed the cliff until the aneroid indicated an elevation of more than 0 feet, but it was tnHaaible to reach the top and learn how higher the falls are. It will require the cutting of a trail for several milea through the dens forest to make the circuit ueceaeary to reach the euiamit.

aud lack of provisjona for a longer atay prevented our doing so nt the time. We an nil start again in a few daya for another trip the ax-en and hope to be able to measure the height of the falls, and -poasibly also to determine whether the river la the Aknrw or one of the headwaters of tbe C'uyanl.

Let me tell ynn about It. I haven't owned a hoes for 15 years and I'll aever own another one. That many years ago I thought a bora waa aa absolute necessity to my happiness and it bad to he a good one. I lived at that time in Cincinnati, and the only piae fr driving was on th roads through tbe hilltop suburbs. Weil.

I had bowght a boa bora from Keatacky which bad cost me tTuO "It takes those Keatuckiana to get the earth for a horse," interrupted th reporter. "1 wouldn't surprised." laughed the man. "In any event that'a what I bad invested iu the one I bought and be waa an amateur aa far aa tbe city waa concerned and needed at least aix montha' driving about Ibe streets before he was worth anything as far aa hia safety went. The first Sunday I bad him I went out on th bills to snow him off, for be waa a beauty and I wouldn't hare sold him for twice what 1 gave for him as he pranced proudly through the suburbsn a venues the observed of all observers. But he waa the deuce to drive and I bad to keep on a con stant strain to prevent bis getting away with me.

But thia wasn't enough, and at the tnrn of a road leading along a slight grade and out on to a circle lookiog over a precipice at least feet bigb into tbe beau- tifnl Ohio Valley, be jumped, caught tbe bit In hia teeth and off be went. 1 aawed and pulled, but it did no good, and when we struck the straight road of about -3l yards that meant sure destruction unless I stopped him before he reached the bluff at the end. 1 put forth all my endeavor. So absorbed was I in Irving to save him that we were nearly to the bluff before I noticed and then I could jump out aa had foolishly tied tbe lines aronnd my wrists when I first started, a custom not entirety out of date yet. It meant drag ging if I jumped, the most dreadful kind of death, and I preferred to take my chances iu the bn-'.

Just then a police man appeared at the circle and I began to yell at him to shoot the horse. It Beetned to me it took him half an hour to catch on to what I wanted, but it wasn't so long as that, and bang went the pistol, and bang again and the third time all so quick as scarcely to be counted, and my horse went down in a neap not ii feet from the edge of the cliff and headed directly for it. Two jumps more and the beautiful landscape sleeping so peacefully below would have been streaked with my mortal remains, and $70U wasn't too high a price to pay." "Once, anyhow," ventured the reporter. "Yea, once, anyhow; but I didn't want to try it again, and." coucluded the narrator. "I gave the buggy aud stuff and the dead horse to the policeman for saving me and took the street car for home.

New Torb Baa-l I have reached thia outpost of civilisa tion after an interesting aud somewhat exciting trip through Pound iap and across tne dividing line into 1 -etcher Coury, ry.

This region has been called tbe most airless and dan the United States. Pound Gap takes its name from Pdtind River, and Pound River waa so called be- cauae of au almost complete circle it makes near the foot of the mountain, inclosing an area 01 several hundred acre 01 lanu con nected with the main lody by only a narrow uwk of alniut la yarda in width. Into this area early settlers drove their stock at night to protect it from the depredationt of Indian and th- attacks of wild beasts. Pound Gap in June and July presents a picttiresoiie and beautiful scene. The rhododendron and laurel bushes are so dense snd tangled alone the sides of the mountain and in its canons that it is difficult for a bear to wedge bia way through them.

The buds of the ehrnbs blossom during the latter Dart of June and reach their maturity of bloom in July, presenting an almost endless bouu.net of bxqcibitk rtowaaa. Just at thia season the dense foliage of the larger timber ia beautifully tinged with autumnal hues, affording almost tvery variety of color. 7 he mountain sides are very precipitous, and an enemy may. shoot tils adversary down at a distance of only l's) vards and vet remain a mile beyond the posaibiliry of contact. It was doubtless tbe tempting advantage which the location offered that inuielled "Doc" Taylor and the two Fleming boys to murder the Mullins family a few yeara ago as they were moving from Kentucky to Virginia.

The aaxaxKins constructed a small fort of rocks within thirty yards of the road, and when old Mullins, who had been shot several times before: his wife daughter, and son. and a half-witted driver came along in their wagon they received the volley from Wincheeter rifles. The horses were killed first to avoid the possi bility of eacaiie. A second and a third vol ley killed every one in the wagon. An other dung-liter who waa riding horseback behind was the only one to escape.

The bodies were robl-d and mutilated, more than 1.ni being taken from the belt of Id who bad lieen a thrifty and successful distiller of WXWaHIMB WHIggT And had accumulated aomethinz of uiountuiu fortune. The fort still stands as the murderers left it, and ita location shows the judgment exercised by its builders. "loc Taylor was subsequently captured, and lurmsticd the urst hanging that ever took place in Wise County. One of. the I- leining boys wus killed while resisting ar rest una the other badly wounded.

When Edward Atkinson, Prof. Morse and severul other Kentleinen visited Big Stone Gap, in the same county, to examine its iron and coal. "Ioc" Taylor happened to be in town. His belt waa filled with cartridges: he had a revolver on each aide of his chest, and his Winchester waa in tbe corner of the hotel office. The visitors eyed him closely and asked why ho went so heavily armed.

"He has enemies," tbe answer was, "and he does uot know when or where he will meet them. "Do you know," said Prof. Morse, "there ia something about that which fascinates me. There ia nothing of the 'by your leave, gentlemen, about it. It is business, deadly business.

At one place a ainall but neat-looking house is situated jost on the aide of the road, with the sign, "traveler's best." Remarked the guide, "Many a traveler has rested there and atill rests in the lau rel."

At break fast which was unusually sumptuous for the locality, con ai sting of corn pones without salt, slices of rasor-back hog that had been ahot in the mountains, some cold coon, and coffee without sugar a spat oc curred between tne host ana hostess.

"I reckon von drank about es much of the moonshln es 1 did." Here the quarrel ended.

Noticing that the table waa boarded up on each aide, and being of an inquisitive turn of miad, ventured to ask the reason. "It's cause the dogs gitr nnder It at meal time and fights and tn'ns it over," came the full and adequate explanation. One half a mile away cam to tbe house of John Wright, a maa af note and wealth and great influence la the part, who has killed 27 men. first and last.

SHREWD IN FINANCE.

How a Younjc Washlnfftonlan Collected a Poker Debt, nvsahlngton Star. All the great financiers of this country, outside of politics, do not live in New York. One of the greatest of them, nameless here forever more, livee in more or less regal splendor on Capitol Hill. That is to say, he lives in regal splendor when be is asleep and the rest of the time it ia pretty much boarding bbuae, except when the mother of hia best girl takes more pity on him than she ever will after he is married, and asks him to take dinner at her house. About a week ago this financial Machia-velli aat in a poker game with a young man whose reputation for not paying any kind of a bill is wider than tbe District of Columbia at its widest part, and he won $75 from him, for which be gave hi check.

Our Machiavelli from Capitol Hill didn't want to take tbe check, because he had heard how previous checks had not been available, as there wasn't Quite enough money in bank to meet them, and there waa uauallv a saoabble which didn de clare any dividends worth mentioning. But be had to take the check, or nothing, ana when he bad taken it, he aat down to think. When morning came he had thought, and as soon aa the bank was open he was there with his check for $75. "There's not enough money to meet it," said the Paying Teller, with the invariable suavity of a paying teller. I supposed not." smiled and bowed tbe holder of the check, "and I was instructed to make up the difference, ao if you will be kind enough to tell me what it is I'll fix it." He was informed that tbe balance was fT2, and the Machiavelli at once deposited $13 to the credit of his friend and then presented tbe check, which was, of course, honored, and he came out of the bank Just $62 ahead and no bother to anybody.

Tbe best part of it was that when the maker of tbe check met him and be told him that a friend of his had deposited enough money to his credit to make his check good, be never asked who the friend was. Indeed, he never asked any questions at all; he slumped and- kept bis mouth shut. CURIOUS FACT. THIS. Died From Hanger With Money Under Their Thumb.

She was burned to the water's edge from aeveral lirea which had been atarted aboard her by the aeamen of ther craft to remove her, a a ahe waa a danger to navigation.
