Butler and Marlon counties In this state Great ex citement 'prevails ' among the people and many of them are getting away. The dis asters are of the most unaccountable origin t and the state geologist has been summoned I to investigate the disturbances of the earth j formations. There was no shock felt when j the ground caved In bearing any resemblance 1 to an earthquake. Near Whitewater , on the farm of Thomas BsMngton , an area of forty by ninety feet sunk to the depth of twenty- eight feet , and when a man was let down Into the hole his weight alone sunk It nearly j three feet more. This occurred yesterday | and about the same moment an area of sevi i cnty-flvo feet square sunk at Plum Grove a depth ol thirty-five feet. This was on the | farm of Sid Jones , the slldlng-ln carrying J a threshing machine and separator with It. Water poured Into the latter hole from under ground sheets of water till It Is flllled nearly to the top , but the hole at White water Is still dry , although It is supposed that the caved-in earth Is resting upon a vast ] body of water. Both places are some- seven 1 or eight miles apart. At Annely , home ten ' miles from Whitewater , there rvas several small cave-ftis. ranging In depth from six ' to forty feet. The theories are various , but I none of them so far are sclcntlflc Not long .since a man was digging a well In the vicinity of Plum Grove , and when ho had reached a depth of twenty-six feet the drill shot Into an apparent vacuum and could not be recovered The supposition Is that there Is a dried up underground river underneath the land , which has caved In. All the cave- Ins , great and small , extend In a crooked , streamllke-course a dlstanco of about twenty- four miles. When health Is considered , no baking pow der can be used with safety but Ur Price's , Analysis shows all other powders to contain lime , ammonia or alum , SUBMIT IT , Commissioner * About Agrcrd t Submit the I'lntte Canal Proposition. The county commissioners held another meeting yesterday to consider the Platte river canal project and the advisability of submitting the bond proposition to the voters at the November election. While no otllclal action has been taken by the members of the board , they have decided that they ulll allow the voters of Douglas county to cast their ballots for or against voting aid to the enterprise. With the exception of one , ull of the pro posed changes have been made In the terms of the agreement between the company and the county. Under the terms of tlio old proposition there was a pro vision that In the event the count ) should want to purchase the canal after a term of years the judges of the district court were to act as the arbitrators on the siile By the terms of the new proposition , when the time for purchase arrives , the company wants to nnmo one appraiser , the county one and the two so named to elect another. The commissioners contend that three men should be named , one to be selected by the company , ono by the county and the two select the third to Itrnlsl tlm Itnllrouil Tux , PRINCETON , Ky. , Sept 21 A fresh ship ment ot firearms has been sent to Union county to arm the taxpayers ut Llmlley and Casey vllle precincts , who are resisting the collection of the railroad tax About 700 are nov. armed with Winchesters nnd dynamite and they are patiently awaiting the arrival of Collector Illackuell and Ills 100 armed deputies Captain Blackwell Is expected today , but he will hardly begin his work before Monday.
