INFERNO THE CRATER AND DIsAP FEARING

ENTERING THE CRATER AND DISAP FEARING
FOREVER. --....-
In September last two tourists, an English-
man and an American, obstipately disFegaTding
the entreaties Of their guides insisted upon
being lowered down into dark eaTerns immedi'
ately under the orI6ce Of the crater Of Mount
VesuVius, and those daring tourists have not

Recently a similar calamity occurred, and
almost under the same circumstances. The
victims in this instance were Jean Jye Mieux,
Belgium, and Louis Schmidf, Of BeFne. They
left Resina al one in the morning, 20 that they
might reach the base Of the crater in time to
witness the rising OF the sun above the peaks
Of the surrounding Alps and Apenninees.
Having reached the end Of their romantic
iouIney-the summit Of the vOlcanO--eVery-
thing was a. quite a. upon some secluded rustic

party TO JOIN him on going down the crater
The guides are always provided with ropes
either for that purpose or for assisting lumber

Our Election

Considering the dissatisfaction that unfor-
tunately existed in our county with regard
to nominations, the result has been for the
Republicans all that could have been ex
pected under the circumstances. The ma
jority on the State ticket has been sustain
ed, but the unpleasantness existing has
had an unfavorable effect upon our county
ticket although all the candidates elected
are Republicans, and the regularly nomina
ted ticket elected with the exception Of
County Auditor. Mr.. Robinson, who is
elected, is a Republican. He will make a
good officer. Mr.. Hagler, the Independent
candidate, who received a majority in this
county, for Senator, is also Republican,
and our Democratic friends cannot claim
anything for their party on that score.
Up to the time we go to prees, we have
no definite returns from the district cleo
tions, but enough is known to insure the
election of Col. Yeoman Senator by ma
iority Of probably 500 or 6OO Hon. NJ. J.
Williams is probably defeated by small
majority. for Judge.
The following are the official rnajorities
in the county: Noyes, for Governor, 479;
Hagler for Senator, l16; Williams, Judge
212; Myers, Representative. 269; Garis,
Treasurer, 246; Robinson, Auditor. 228;
Gregg. Prosecuting Attorney, 489; Suthor-
land, Commissioner, 32l; Gillespie. mfr
mary Director, $50.
