C. IJoughter, pastor of the Church of God, of that place," and handed him an envelope addressed to Uriah Dougla.53. with the request that the note tie delivered to the one to whom it was addressed. The stranger did not give his name, nor did he say why he wanted Mr. Douglass to receive the The Rev.

"Mr; Boughtor went to the home of Mr. Douglass, who opened the fnvelope and found it contained $500. He was at a loss to know why such a sum of money should be sent to and there waa no writing to explain it. After considerable study it dawned upon Mr. Douglas 'that when he was a resident of Highville he had a horse and buggy stolen.

That was forty live years ago. Nothing was ever heard of the team. Two young 'men of the neighborhood were accused of the theft. It is said that the man who handed the envelope to the pastor is one of the young men Ke Is said to have drifted to Chicago, whore he became Mcssick's oysters aie the best. 22Seod 26t iXeed a heating stuve?

Hughe town, which has been affected during the last 10 months by numerous surface subsidences, was again disturbed late ia. evening. A cave hole, the second to appear this week, opened up near Jance hall, which is located at the rear of his Germanla Hotel and resi dence at 158 Rock street.

The land thereabouts has been given to surface settling since last December. less than a score of de preslons or cave holes have resulted since that date from the mining of the top vein, the Checker, of the Butler colliery. Mr. Hintze's property had been damaged to a depreciable extent. Tuesday of this week the ground fell near a corner of the dance hall, pulling niiart a coal bin in the yard.

The hole is about 18 feet in d'ameter and about 12 feet deep. Last evening at 11 o'clock another cave in came, the hole, about IS feet long and 10 feet wldo at the top, being 25 feet deep. This is so near 'another corner of the building that the walls are cracked and crumbled. The build ing can not be used for dancing purposes extensive repairs have been made. Further changes In the tonography are expected and the HinUo and other properties, It Is 'feared, will be damaged to a greater extent.
