A Mysterious Underground Fire.
Wickliffe, Ky., Dec. 14 —For
about four weeks a fire of consider-
able proportions beneath the sur-
texas| face nf the ground has been burn-
ing within 200 or 300 yards of the
corporation limits of this town. At
first smoke was noticed proceeding
from an aperture in the ground,
and for a week or more little atten-
tion was paid to it, though as it ap-
peared to increase in volume every-
day the interest soon became gen-
eral. It has now become quite a
large fire, and intensely hot, some-
times burning with a flame, though
generally it is only a smoldering
but intense heat. Parties digging
near the fire, and at a depth of
from 1 to 2 feet found a bed of red
hot cod’s at a distance of 30 feet
from where the fire was first seen.
The substance which furnishes fuel
for this strange fire is very oily and
lias a gaseous odor, which is observ-
ed by everyone who visits the place
Many are of the opinion that it is
gas, others that it is a bed of coal
on fire. Both theories may he cor-
rect, as the smoldering tire suggests

Belton, Dec. 16.—One of the
most remarkable and sensational
cases which has ever been placed
on the docket of this or any other
Texas court, was the suit by Ben
W. Haymond against his Wife, Ad**
Haymond, for divorce and custody
of his children, wh ch occupied the
entire day in the district court yes-
terday. The suit had its origin in
differences arising between Ray-
mond and his wife on account of
the latter joining the band of reli-
gionists, commonly known as Snne-
tifleationists, and whose doings in
this county, and peculiar belief,
have on more than one occasion at-
tracted widespread attention
throughout the county. Mr. Hay-
mornj was formerly a grocery mer-
chant in business here, apdi the
facts in his case are known to moat
of the people of Bell county who
have resided here the past few
years.
The plaintiff was represented by
James Boyd, Harris & Saunders
and Judge Jos. Rosborough and de-
fendant by Monteith A Furman.
It was five o’clock when the last
words of Judge Blackburn’s charge
were pronounced and the jury re-
tired, after an absence of 30 min-
utes they returned the following
verdict, “we the jury find that the
material allegations of the plain-
tiff’s petition are true, and award
him the custody of the
children, Hattie, George and
Emma.” As the verdict was read
a murmur (if approbation rose
from those who lingered in the
growing darkness to hear it pro-

peases of Vice President Hendricks,
'flie Indianapolis undertaker put
in a bill, one item of which was for
$1500, for “an imperial casket.” The
account was held up nearly a year,
and paid after the casket item had
been cut down to $800. The hills
paid from the senate contingent
fund for the Hendricks obsequies
aggregated a little over $4300. They
would have exceeded$5000 but for
the reduction made on the casket.

Dallas, Dec. 14.—A private lot
ter to agent Leman in this city
from a friend in Los Angeles draws
the following gloomy forebodings
of the future of southern California:
“My advice would be think twice,
and seriously too, before coming
this way, as everything looks bad
now for this'section of the country.
Real estate, the speculation In
which has attracted thousands to
this place, is dropping away below
the febulous prices paid for it a few
months ago, and many aro now
tfyfetl to unload, hut find it impos.
'Bible to get anything like the price
they gave for it, or rather agreed
to give, with the usual advance, of
course, in all transactions of like
character. Many a poor man would
like to get out at even half he put
in if he could do so. but his chances
;m> slim indeed. What is to be-
come of the many hundreds of the
purchasers of town lots who have
made small advances on them
\\ lien tin- time comes for payment
to bo met, is a query to everybody
b’-re. 1 iu1 elimate is delightful,
and new crops of vegetables and
fruits are constantly coming in, but
to talk of a city and country with
nothing to sustain them hut a float-
ing population, and with only the
pretenses ol a lew speculators to
make the city a great business
point, is absurd and exaggerated.
My bumble opinion is that Texas is
far superior to this country in near-
ly every particular. Your climate
is good, no better soil can be found
iu America, and with a few expe-
rienced agriculturists your fruits
will outrival this country in a very
short time. Again, my advice is to
stay in Texas if you want to gain
wealth and be happy.”
