nights since, when returning from his work
on the Richmond and Danville railroad, he
was assaulted on the Petersburg turnpike

who robbed him Of a sum OF money. In
the alteration Cunningham received a
slight cut on the arm. BE used his knife,
and is sure he wounded one Of his assail-
ants in the arm also. AS it was impossible

Earthauakes---An American Volcano

Earthauakes---An American Volcano.
An unusually mild autumn is signalized
Mt its close by three severe earthquake
shocks. These shocks have been felt in the
East. in the West, and in the South. Com
menting upon them, the Chicago Eeening
Journal makes the following interesting
statement about the recent active condition
OF Il little-known volcano in Nebraska:
The latest earthquake shocks which espe-
cially affected Western Iowa, and were still
sharper in Northeastern Nebraska and
Southwestern Dakota, bring to mind the
fact that the Ionia Volcano" known to
few scientific investigators OF the West as
existing in the high bluffs near the little
village of Ionia, in Northeastern Nebraska,
is directly in the centre Of the area traversed
by the earthquake vibrations OF Thursday
noon. The little tire-mount has at times.
in the memory OF Indian and white settlers,
put on all the airs of an embryonic but am
bilious volcano. From out the seams or
tissures in the bluffs in that locality have
come vapors, heat. and rumbling sounds. No
| snow could long accumulate in winter IN
| close proximity to this place, since the heat
! OF the ground would melt it, and springs OF
water running from the side of the bluff
| have been made too warm for drinking uses.
Being in retired spot, miles away from
any line Of travel, on the west bank Of the
Missouri river, in bluffy region, the little
| volcano has attracted the attention Of only
few of those who make such subjects
study, and hence is not mentioned, as we
believe, in any OF the works on geography
or geology. The occurrence Of the earth
quake, with its key or centre at the Ionia
Volcano, makes worthy Of remark the fact
that for a few months past this little Ameri-
can Vesuvius has been unusually active.
It's rapors have arisen almost constantly,
and for the first time since white men have
viewed it's action these rapors have been
easily distinguiShablc for dozen or more
miles aWay.

Tom SCOTS Hopes of Texas Pacific.
From interview in the Cincinnati Enqurer.l
"Well, tell me about your Southern Pa
ctic road-what are its prospects?"
Il think them very good. We are opc-
rating 475 miles now, and business on it is
very satisfactory; and when you Cincin-
natl people get your Southern road COM
pleted, so that you can get to our Paclhc
road, it will help swell our business"
.sYes; but that is not what ] mean. What
about its prospects in Congress ?"
"Oh. the congressional part! Well, that's
uncertain. You see all things in Congress
are uncertain. You can't tell how any OF
them will come out" ar
"You've got a good friend to it in our
new SENATOR"
"Who?"
Stanley Matthews"
"Ies, he's friend to our enterprise; and
a very able man is Mr.. Matthews, too"
Then you've another good friend in the
Speaker of the House, haven't you?"
"Who? Mr.. Randall? There's point
open to debate. There seems to be some
uncertainty about that. I'll say that he is 4
good, sound Democrat, and the people OF
| PENNSYLVANIA think great deal OF him but
our road is not for that State so much as for
the people of the South and West. Your
people arc more interested in it than the
| people of Pennsylvania"
"But in the appointment OF his commit
tees he did the fair thing by you?"
"Yes; that is, when Clarkson n. Potter
resigned his place as chairman OF the Com.
mittee on Southern Pacific Road it left it in
good shape, with Throckmorton. Of Texas,
as chairman. He's q TeXas-Pacitic man, and
has been for thirty years. He's been preach
ing for it all that time. II it hadn't been
for the war it would have been built, too,
almost as soon rs the Central and Union
Pacific route That threw it back fifteen
years. It's the best line ever projected.
There are no SUBMITS Of more than five
hundred feet to reach, while on the Central
Pacific they reach nine hundred feet. There
are no snow-sheds to be built, and it can be
operated the year round without detention
or danger" ..s....

FAILING OF A BRILLIANT METEOR
About 4:40 p. NJ. OF Tuesday, November
Goth, there fell remarkably brilliant me-
teor, which was witnessed by good many
of our citizens. 1t started very high up
toward the zenith, and fell apparently
almost Derpendicularly, being lost at last
in bank of cloud upon the horizon. 1t
appeared in the west, and only few de-
grees south OF the due-wcst point. and,
although so near the setting sun, its head
and track were intensely brilliant. The
track remained visible very nearly forty
minutes, as tested by the watch-at first
clear, straight. and well-defned; then
gently bending into many beautiful curves; /;
and at last slowly floating and fading away
like delicate cloud.
