MINERS’ ODD BELIEFS. They Believe That Loose Rocks Fall at Mid’.iignt. From the ICohmh City Journal. There was a heavy rumbling sound in the mountain, and the miners sleeping in the cabin at the mouth of the entrance of the tunnel site, were awakened by the uoiso. A force of men were engaged in driving the Bangre de Cristo tunnel, but this particular night there was no shift at work. It bad already been driven in several hun dred feet through slide, to cut a gray copper vein. “What is that!” I heard a tenderfoot in the camp exclaim, as he was reused from his slumber. •‘Oh, go to sleep, paid,” exclaimed an old miner, “that’s nothing much.” “Well, but what is it?” again asked the same questioner. “.Some rock and a set of timbers at the end of the tunnel have fallen in, but that’s nothing. We can soon fix it up to-mor row.” “Strange, isn’t it?" again said the tender foot miner. “Strange* No. It must be 12 o’clock.” “Why?” “Rocks fall in the mines usually at mid night” “Why?” “Just because they do. More rocks fall into the mines at midnight than any other time. That’s all the reason I know. But they do, and I have worked in the mines a good many years.” One of the party then struck a light, took down a watch from a crevice in one of the logs of the cabin and looked at it. It was midnight. Miners are superstitious. Men who labor underground are always so, and especially those who court fickle fortune, hunting for gold and silver veins in the mountains. Often you will hear minors say that rocks are more apt to fall at midnight tliau at any other time. On this occasion the old miner was correct as to the time, and when the time was called out, he did not seem at all surprised, considering it only as a matter of fact, which should not have been ques tioned m the first place. Many incidents are related in the camps of this strange influence overmen. A friend of mine was once working in the Bull-Do mingo mine, and saved his life through pre sentiment or superstitious feeling. He was working in the night shift, and late in the afternoon was awakened from his slumber and notified by the foreman to get ready for work. In telling me the story afterward he said that something seemed to be warn ing him not to work that night. But he threw off the feeling, ate his supper, put on his miner’s suit and started toward the shaft house. He had gone about half the distance, ■when the same superstitious feeling pos sessed him, and, stopping a moment, he thought the matter over, and, returning to the boarding house near by, hired a man in his place. There was an accident that night and the man who had taken his place was killed. The shift was sinking the main shaft deeper, preparatory o running lower levels. The water was troublesome and the cage had been lowered .-*'th a barrel, which was filled with water. When the cage began to ascend three of the men stepped out from under it, but the fourth stood in the centre of the shaft leaning on his shovel. When up about 100 feet a piece of machinery broke and down came the cagi, crushing the poor fellow to death. The young man who re fused to work that night, iu telling me of the incident afterward, said: "Something seemed to be almost pulling me back that night and saying: ‘Don’t go down the shaft, don’t go down the shaft,’ and I didn’t go. I don’t know how to ac count for it and never will, but it saved my life.” One evening, while sitting around the stove in one of the hotels in the camp, a man named Fletcher, hailing from Ohio, told a strange, weird story. He was a quiet kind of a fellow, and not given to springing wild stories. He and his partner, so his story ran, had been working a claim above the Verde hill, in the Bangre de Cristo range. They were prospecting for a gray copper vein. A shaft had been sunk about 40 feet and then a drill was started on the vein. This drifit was within about 20 feet from the shaft, and the last day they had worked the claim a bowlder about 2 feet in diameter was blown out of the vein. “It was about time to quit,” said, Mr. Fletcher, “and we concluded to windlass out what loose work there was and popsboot the bowlder the next morning. Before leaving we placed our mining tools and bucket in a corner of the shaft and then went to our cabin It was a cold night and considerable snow fell. The next morning about 8 o’clock we Returned to the shaft to resume our work for the day. I lowered my partner down and was preparing to de scend myself, when I heard him call out, •Fletcher, hoist away.’ I asked him what was the matter, but he would give me no definite answer, and iu rather a husky voice repeated his request that I haul him out, which I did. After stepping on the plat form, be said: “ ‘You know that bowlder? “ ‘Yes,’ I replied, ‘but what of it?’ 1 “ ‘lt is gone,’ he said. “ ‘Gone?’ “ ‘Yes, gone.’ , “I refused to believe him, although I ob served that his face was a little pale and he seemed quite nervous. I had him lower me down the shaft, and, sure enough, that large bowlder, 2 feet in diameter, was gone. The tools had not been disturbed, aud no one else could have possibly gone down that shaft since we left it the night before. The snow had fallen, and there was not the least sign of a track leading to or from the shaft.” “Did the mine ever pan out anything af terward?” asked one of the interested group of listeners. "Pan out! The devil, no! I have been unable to get my partner down in that shaft since. And one thing I do know—the bowl der we had left that night was gone the next morning, and neither of us ever knew what became of it.” Nome men use fortune tellers in searching for mines and developing them. The divin - ing rod has been used on many a mountain side, and its indications followed. I recently visited a well-known fortune teller in Den ver, for the purpose of learning something definite as to stories circulated that some mining operators seek this class to have them foretell or advise them how to seek for the precious metals. “Certainly they do,” said the old woman in a weird-like manner, shuffling the cards. “Now, you keep out of the mines,” she said, speaking to me; “your fortune is on top ot the ground, yes, on top of the ground, and you try real estate. ' Keep out of the ground. The cards and the white of this egg 1 have broken show no veins of minoral for you.” “But do men ever seek your aid in hunt ing for gold and silver mines, and ask your advice as to how to work ttiem?” “They do; but I dare not give their name away. It would hurt my business. But I will tell you that one man in Colorado lias •pent about 140,000 developing a mine under my directions. Whenever there is a ‘break’ or ‘slide’ he comes down from the mountains aud seeks my advice. You would be sur prised if I were to re: eat the names of some who have asked me about where to for gold and silver. Yes, men are superstitious, but deny it, and don’t want the world lo know it, and it would hurt my business to give names. When I break the white of an egg in a glass of water and shuttle the cards for some, the most beautiful un derground workings are seen. The veins nre rich and bright with gold and silver ore.” Such is the story the Denver witch told We. I called out some of the names of some millionaire miners, but she was mum as to whether any of them had overbad their for tunes told, and would neither say “Yes” nor “No,” but giving the same old answer. “It would hurt my business.” There is a superstition among some about namiug mines, and many seem to think that it is good luck to name a mine for a baby. Why? No one knows. A prospee tor once named a claim for a certain Pull man car. which was afterward smashed in a wreck. He changed the name for fear of an accident to the mine. Another changed the name of his claim because the person he had named it for died. Toe finding of a vein on the anniversary of your birthday, or the anniversary of the wedding of voiir parents, is supposed to bring good fuck. There are a thousand and one little super stitions connected w ith the delving in mot her earth, searching for the buried treasures there. WHAT IS IT? A Question That is Puzzling the Resi dents of Queer Creek. Logan 10.) loiter to Cincinnati Enquirer. Twelve miles west, and a little south of here, is where Queer creek commences, and twelve miles further, in nearly the same di rection, it empties into Salt creek. It drains a portion of the counties of Hocking and Vinton, probably fifteen miles square, and these 225 square miles comprise the hilliest, rockiest, roughest and hardest place for man or beast to get enough upon which to subsist, that the broad State of Ohio can furnish. Near the head of the stream the water pom's over an almost perpendicular precipice nearly 200 feet high, sometimes in a sheet forty feet wide, but in the summer it dwindles down to a stream that would run through an inch pipe, but singularly enough never entirely dries up. The continual flow of the water and the great force with which it descends has worn a basin 100 feet in diameter deep enough, and always con containing a sufficient amount of water in which to float a skiff. This small lake, with its clear water, almost surrounded by high rocks and steep hills, upon which grow hem lock, pine, cedar and dark green laurel, pre sents a scene pleasing to look upon. This place has been christened Cedar Falls. No strange or weird tales have ever been told regarding this be .utiful place, no marks supposed to be the handiwork of the long departed Indian, and nothing of an extraor dinary nature was ever known to happen until the summer of 1884, when A RfMapiNU AND SHAKING was heard and felt like unto an earthquake. An investigation showed that some of the rocks had moved a little out of plae \ Do ing down the stream five or six miles one comes to Ash Cave. This place is like Cedar Falls in a few respects and unlike it in many. The chief difference in the for mation is that the high rock projects for ward, forming a large cave. But the un written history as told by the present in habitants of the neighborhood is what makes the place of more than ordinary in terest. It was here, according to tradition, that a brave tribe of Indians long had its headquarters; it was here that the red devils laid their plans to exterminate the white settlers; it was here they brought their unfortunate captives and drove the stake for their destruction, and as the fagots blazed around their victims they heard their dying shrieks with strange de light. as though it were sweet music to their savage ears. When they were finally over come by the too numerous white men and were driven from their rocky fastnesses the place “remained tenantless for a while” and them became the rendezvous for a band of bold, bloody robbers, and somewhere in the vicinity they hid their treasure, a large quantity of which it is supposed was never taken away. When the robbers departed the spirits of Indian chiefs and murdered white men and women wandered over the hills and among the rocks, and many a red warrior, adorned with paint and feathers, carrying a string of fresh scalps, and bleeding, scalpless women, have been seen by the belated traveler. But the ghosts, too, have long since stolen si lently away, and now a few broken dishes, an old cream freezer, empty beer and whis ky bottles, plainly tell that the merry Fourth of July and Sunday school picnickers have been the latest occupants, and when the long-looked-for railroad is built up this nar row valley then will no doubt come the hotel man. There died near this place a few months ago a Mr. Snider, who was supposed to be nearly 100 years old. He was a genuine half-breed, to his own story, ami as his looks would indicate. His father was captured bv the Indians, aud, TO SAVE HIS LIFE, married one of the dusky virgins of the forest, and although he became an Indian good enough for all practical purposes, his captors did not ha ve sufficient confidence in him to impart to him all their valuable se crets. Twice a year the Indians would make a pilgrimage somewhere among the rocks and hills of Queer creek and bring back silver and lead ore. Snider would always be left at the cave, in which is a large stone nearly level on top, and in which are two holes about nine inches in diameter and two feet deep. These holes, it is said, were used for smelting purposes, and there can be no doubt as to the truth of the statement, for ashes to the depth of more than ten feet still remain in the cave. The silver ore was usually sold to other tribes, but the half-breed had in his possession when he died a coin which he always main tained was made from the ore found in that vicinity. The Indian wife was almost as silent as to the location of these mines as the rest of the tribe. After the country had be come settled by the whites, she said that “if the pale-face knew as much as the Indian he could shoe his horse with silver cheaper than he could with iron.” A short time be fore her death she tried to direct her son to the spot. He followed her directions as near as he could, but was unsuecesful, and many an anxious fortune seeker has he taken on a wild goose chase since his mother’s death. At another rock fifty feet from the top of one of the Queer creek tributaries, and nearly as high as those above mentioned, is a cave probably twenty feet in diameter. No effort has ever been known to have lieen made to get into this cave until a few days ago, when a half-dozen young men went to the top of the rock and let one of their number down with a rope until he was opposite the entrance, and by swinging himself he swung into the cave. Going in a few yards he found A PERFECTLY ROUND HOLE, more than a foot in diameter, had been made in the floor. A stone had been shaped to exactly fit this hole, and this the young ster could not move. The citizens now have their wits hard at work to devise some means by which they can get safely in and out this cave, where they have no doubt an immense amount of wealth has long been hidden, which, in their great anxiety to get possession of, some will take dangerous chances, and it is not improbable that be fore it is reported that the whole neighbor hood has become millionaires some jiersou will have broken his neck. Ruff. Mrs. Cleveland and Actresses. From a Washington Letter. Mrs. Cleveland has always shown a par tiality for pretty actresses and good actors. She loves to go to the theatre to see a good play or a popular star, but it is rare that she sees the theatrical profession at th3 White House, but now and then she makes an exception. She did this in the case of little Minnie Palmer, for she received the pretty little actress in one of the private parlors of the White House, and had a most pleasant conversation with the popular lit tle favorite. Muiuie told Mrs. Cleveland all about her travels abroad aud of her tour arrfflnd the world, and they both parted mutually’delighted. A Wonderful Food and Medicine.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1887. CHINESE MASONS. A Curious I odgre of Them in New York -Their Meeting Place. From the New York World. Old Masons were, until late, of the opinion that no such a thing as a Chinese Mason ex isted. One gentleman said he had seen Arabs aud Turks who were good Masons, but to the best of his knowledge, no China man was in the order Nevertheless, there are not only Chinese Masons, but right here in New York there is a Chinese Masonic Lodge in full blast with a membership of over 300. It is a native organization, not allied directly to the Free and Accepted Masons, hut said to be founded on princi ples very nearly akin. The lodge-room is at No. 18 Mott street, second floor, front, and has recently lieen remodelled and refitted in yery good shape, all newly painted and cleaned. The lodge furniture is of Chinese design, and imported from China expressly for the society at a great expense. A tall flagstaff with a rope for running up colors is on top of the building. Above the door as one enters the lodge-room is a red sign iu native charac ters signifying “Chinese Masonic Society,” and down the sides are two long slips of red pai>er bearing mottoes. One of these is: “Do good to one another,” and the other re lates to the business of the order. The interior is like most Chinese quarters, only lighter, anil not full of odd turns and unsuspected corners. Immediately on enter ing one is led into a sort of ante room and thence into the main or lodge room. At the lower end of this room is the altar, and a very valuable one it is, costing in China $1,500. Above it is an alcove in which a colored drawing is suspended. It is not the least curious tiling in the place, the design being three figures, one seated and two others bending over his shoulder. The seated figure represents the venerable father of Chinese Masonry. The face is heavy, placid and adorned wich a long black beard. The other two are respectively the spirits of light and darkness, who are supposed to be giving him counsel. In front of the altar a lamp is bung. It is never extinguished, and burns in commemoration of the dead of the order. Another emblem is two sticks of sandal-wood punk thrust into a box of sand. They keep smouldering away aud fill the air with a faint but sweet perfume. On the wall is a long board, and on this are pasted a greet number of sheets of paper covered with Chinese hieroglyphics. These are the lists of members voted on in the New York lodge. Near the roster hang two books. One of these is sent out from the Supreme Ixxlge at San Francisco, aud gives a detailed account of a number of cases of those in distress and sickness, and the whereabouts of each one who needs help. The other is a subscription book, in which the various amounts subscribed are entered. At intervals these two books and the amount raised are transmitted to the Supreme Lodge, from which the dependent members are relieved. Meetings are not held upon regular nights, but at intervals decided upon by the dignitaries of the order, as the necessities ’ of business may demand. The members are notified of meetings, held generally on Sun day nights, by the appearance of a trian gular flag at the top of the pole on top of the house. This flag is white and bears the picture of a huge red dragon with its tail toward the point. There are grips, signs aud passwords exactly as in an American lodge. “The traveling card” of this society is quite a curiosity in itself. It is a square of red silk inscribed with Chinese characters, and is a document highly prized by all its possessors. SUNSET COX’S NEW HOUSE. The Eeautiful Washington Home of the Ex-Minister to Turkey. From the New York Wo)ld. Genial Sunset Cox’s new house in Wash ington bids fair to be the centre of anew American salon this winter—-a salon of wits. It is just next door to the fine house iu Du Pont Circle where he used to live. It is four stories, has a frontage of thirty-one feet and follows the old Romanesque lines of architecture. The basement and first-story are of Poto mac red sandstone, with a generous porch, steps twelve feet wide and a stone balustrade with carved newel posts. The door is of antique oak four feet wide, with great hinges. At the sides are stone columns, surmounted by capitals delicately carved. At the right of the entrance is a stone bay two stories high, which is battered from the ground to the top of the balustrade in a pro nounced slope and thence lo the top in quieter lines, giving a pleasing appearance of grace and stability. This bay is,"crowded by a stone balustrade, which in connection with the loggia back of it, affords a spacious balcony from the third story rooms—a desirable thing in Washington’s warm climate. The roof is of red tiles, with dormer windows. Entering by a Dutch vestibule, the main hall is 14x25, finished in antique oak, with an open timber ceiling. The staircase has a gallery, over a recessed fireplace of stone with a mosaic hearth. Quaint carved seats are all about. The draw ing-room is finished in cream and gold decorations, with an elaborately carved mantel. The dining-hall is in oak, with a recessed fireplace and inglenook, where one can sit and enjoy a post-prandial cigar watching the embers. In the second story Mr. Cox’s library occupies the entire front and is finished in mahogany. The design of the woodwork is Moorish, as are also the decorations. The bedrooms are all large and treated in different tones of painted woodwork, with simple but effective mantels to the open fire places. Altogether the house is one of the most successful which Mr. Page, the popular architect! has yet done aiTd it adds not a little to the architectural beauty of an already remarkably beautiful street. HONORED BY THE SULTAN. . The Decoration of Commander of the Medjidie Conferred upon Dr. Henry. From the. New York Sun. Dr. Morris H. Henry of New York city is the third American who has lieen honored by the Sultan of Turkey with the decoration of the Commander of the Medjidie. Congressman Samuel 8. Cox and Gen. Lew Wallace also have the decoration. They have represented this government at tlio court of the Sultan. Dr. Henry has never lieen in Turkey. The decoration is given to Dr. Henry for liis attainments in that branch of medical science which was especially in teresting to ttye Sultan because it had to do with his army. Owing to the climate, diseases of the veins are common, and unfit the subjects of the Sultan to perform mili tary duty. Dr. Henry’s writings on the subject are well known to medical authorities in Europe and the East, and he invented an appliance called the phimosis forceps, whicli has been of use in Turkey for several years. Dr. Henry receive!l tiiree yeais: ago from the Greek government the decoration of Officer of the Royal Order of the Savior and the insignia of the Gold Cross. As the Suitan desired to distinguish Dr. Henry, it was necessary for him, in ac cordance with Eastern custom, to present him with a tide of higher rank than that which he already had. The rank next above Officer is Commander. The decoration was received by Dr. Henry at his residence, 581 Fifth avenOo, from M. Mavroyeni, the Turkish Minister at Wash ington. It vras created by the father of the pi caout Sultan. In Turkey it is conferred only on official* of the rank of General in the army. The decoration is worn suspended from the neck by a red ribbon with a green border. It consists of a pendant, on which is a gold star and crescent with red enamel, and below t*is a large seven-jiointed silver star, with a circle surrounded with red enamel, in which are Turkish inscriptions. In the centre, on a gold ground, is the word in Turkish, “Medjidie.” The inscriptions Suuset Cox had translated, but Dr. Henry doesn't know what they mean yet.
