A STRANGE CLOUD OF vAPoR.


About a month ago remarkable phe-
nomenon was observed near the village of
San Jose Papalyapam, Vera Cruz, Mexico.
Two days after violent thunderstorm and
iRcessant raining, what seemed to be an
immense cloud rising out of the ground
was observed. Little attention was paid
to the phenomenon, as many of the peasants
interpreted it to ethesmokeof of large quanti-
ties of wood that were burned inte charcoal.
An Indian, going to his maize field, stu.
ated on hill, discovered that the vapor
issued out of his field. His attempt to ap-
proaeh the column was thwarted by the
extreme heat of the vapor. The extension
of the column was some thirty square
yards, and the vapor issued at intervals of
five minutes. The smoke was so dense
chat the eye could not see the trees on
the other side of the column. The
maize field was completely burned,
and as the vapor came out on other spots
covered with trees, the leaves were burned
and the trunks became black. The vapor
column proceeded in the direction from
east to west, between the volcanoes of
Tuxtla and that of Orizaba The phenom-
enon lasted nearly seven days, and is in
terpreted as an underground fire communi-
eating with the volcanoes of 0rizaba and
that of Tuxtls.

The scoYille Mnrder Trial md Rexo.

RENO, October 2Sth.-George A. Rankin,
District Attorney, opened the argument IN
the Scoville murder case to-day. He claims
that Wheeler and McMechan fired all the
shots that no one else fired any; that they
were not fired in self-defense that Wheeler
was not afraid of Balch; that McMechau
stood alone in the middle of the room, with
no one troubling him, and fred three shots
into Scoville's corner. He could have walked
out, but he stayed and shot with intent to
kill. One of his shots killed Scoville There
was collusion between Wheeler and Nc
Mechan. The testimony of Wheeler, Nc
Mechan and Coffin, that Balch had pistol,
was necessary to save Wheeler from the gal
lows ii Bslch died, and from the Penitentiary
if he lived. He asked that Wheeler and Nc
Mechan be held to answer for manslaughter
before the Grand Jury, which meets next
Monday.
Webster followed for the defense of Moore,
Fowler and Cogan. He held that in exclud-
ing the Wheeler party they were exercising
the right of ownership; that in concealiDg
the order modifying the ipjunction, and in
taking possession of the office, they set a
trap, and as soon as the Moore party gave
them the least excuse thev shot them
down like cattle. He said Wheeler, Nc
Meehan and Coffia were as desperate men as
ever trod Nevada soil
Clark, in defense Of Coffin, followed. He
argued that Cogan killed Scoville. There
was no evidence at all that Coffin fired shot.
He finishes tomorrow.
Lindsay and Dixon follow in defense of
Wheeler and hcMechan, and Deal for
Cogan, Fowler and Moore. Then Kittrell
closes for the prosecution.

the abortive attempt at Arnter palace
the police seized 100000 francs, con-
stituting the nihilist fund, and until

the revolutionary party were obliged to
keep quiet. Warnings were, however,

one reaching him the Sd inst, but all
were disregarded. To divert the
police the nihilIsts let it be
supposed that the explosives
were being manufactured in London

Meeting or sociaIist..


New York, March 15.-The meeting
of the socialists tonight was largely
attended. Julius Schwab presided.
William Daury, a French commun-
ist, said that Russia had too long neg
lected the warnings of men of thought
and freedom, who had finally broken
their chains of bondage by removing
from the face of the earth the greatest
tyrant Russia had ever known. The
imperial families in Europe must go.
The world had been cheated by these
people long enough, and the people
were tired of them. He liked to see all
human butchers die, and while he re-
gretted the shedding of human blood,
he rejoiced that the emperor had been
killed, because he had been the cause Of
the death of thousands of people.
Resolutions were adopted congratu-
lating the world upon the overthrow
and absolute annihilation of the feudal
aristocracy in Russia, and the people OF
Europe, upon the removal of the great
est obstacle to the establishment of the
western republic, and their fellow So
cialists, that the great pivot of monar-
chial institutions which had supported
kingcraft throughout the world had
been shaken to the core by the fall OF
the czar, and that the way is being
olaa rod For. tho foup1af;o,, of N soaial
republic, and calling upon liberty-loving
people of the United States to rejoice in
the overthrow of the czar, especially as
they reioiced at the overthrow of Maxi
MILAN, whose presence endangered re-
publican statutes.
An address to their fellow working
men in Russia, to their best friends and
most active partisans, the nihilists,
will be forwarded. The address is as
follows:
Tell the workingmen of Russia that
between the aristocracy and the profit
ariat there can be no compromise; be.
tween the parasites and the producers
there can be no peace. While the louts
and loafers live in luxury upon the pre-
ducts of our fathers, we must suffer
and slave. Brothers, your case is that
of the oppressed against the oppressor
that cause is holy cause. That cause
is not only for Russia, but for all coun-
tries; it is universal. Brothers, we
