FRIGHTFUL.
SeTenty-FiTe Thousand People Killed
by a Volcanic Eruption.

New YORK, Aug. 30.-Special cables
published here this afternoon from Bata
via Java via London, Aug. 29th II p.
M, give further particulars of the great
volcanic upheavals on the Island OF Java,
and adjacent islands. These later ac-
counts show that the disaster was more
widespread and fatally destructive than
reported previously. Late Sunday after
noon. when the terrible eruptions are sup
posed to have reached their height of vio-
lence, the disturbances suddenly increased
and the island seemed to be buried in
volanic ashes. Enormous waves dashed
upon the shores going far into the Interior
of the island. Great chaSms opened in the
earth. At midnight, Sunday night, erup-
tiops from the several active volcanoes con
tinued with frightful activity, Great
streams of lava poured down the sides OF
the mountains; immense assures III the
earth opened emitting torrents OF vapor
making Il tremendous kissing sound, as II
thousand engines were letting off steam.
At2 a. m. Monday, The violent eruptions
seemed to cease, but the frightful rumt
lings beneath the earth were distinctly
heard, Great quantities of lava were
elected from numerous volcanoes. The
town of Tanerang, only twenty-five miles
from Batavia, was swept away by the
stream of lava. Half the population oil
fully 1900 perished.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-The beach from Har-
witch to Aldeburgh is strewn with the
the Ocean, from Hamburg to New York.
A case containing dynamite was found by
the Coast Guard. This, and the fact that
the wreckage is in exceedingly small

sion of dynamite.
PARIS, Jan. 16.-The Figaro publishes
a manifesto professedly issued by Prince
Napoleon, "Plon Plon,' criticising the
present situation OF affairs in France and
claiming Napoleon's inheritance.
LATER-Prince Napoleon's manifesto
was found placarded in several quarters
of Paris. The Prince dwells on the impo-
tence and incapacity of the present Gov
eminent, the disunion in parliament, and
the decadence in the army and finances.
He declares that religion is attacked, II
that the observance of the concordat can
alone establish religious peace. He refuses
any compromise with the Royalists, and
adverts to the plebiscite by which the En-
pire was sanctioned. If the manifesto is
genuine, the Prince will be ordered to
quit France, and will be conducted to the
frontier in the event of his refusal. The
police tore down the placards.
PARIS, Jan. 16-3 P. M.-Prince Napo-

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 16.-The loss by
the burning of the circus in Berditschiff
on Saturday is greater than at first re-
ported. The fire broke out towards the
end of the performance, being caused by
the careless handling Of fireworks on the
stage. The curtain became ignited and
the flames spread quickly to the walls and
roof. The members of the orchestra were
the first victims. The audience, number
ing 500, rushed to the front door, which
opened inwards, and as the crowd pressed
forward 1t could not be opened. Then a
rush was made to the side doors, but both
We're nailed up, compelling the people to
take to the windows, from which many
spranS to the street with their clothes in
flames. The fire brigade arrived within
half an hour, but it was impossible to
eXtingulsh the flames, as the water in the
tanks was frozen. The fire lasted two
hours. Eye witnesses state that when the
doors were finally opened a frightful mass
of burning persons were visible within.
The horses aud properties OF the circus
were all destroyed. The building was a
wooden structure. The horses wildly run
ming about increased the confusion. 1t is
stated now that 400 persons We're suffo-
Gated, crushed, or burned to death.

Too UGH "sociability" has fire
quently led public officials to use the
peoples money for their own personal
benefits and contrary to law and their
obligations. 1t is intimated that such
was the misfortune of one of our own
public servants a few years ago, aad
he was compelled to borrow the a
mount on settlement to make up the
deficiency or suffer the consequences.
Hadn't the taxpayers of Preble coun-
ty better select disburser of the PEG
pies funds with less "sociability,"
and who will strictly and honestly
use the public moneys in a lawful
manner? This is a serious question
for the taxpayers of Preble county
to consider in the election of q coun.
ty Treasurer.

There are contributors to the col

their bribery nominated ticket. The
wife of the Recorder, who by the way
is a very pleasant and accomplished
lady, had to be dragged into that
sheet last week to fill out the column
of senseless "whittlings' about our

The approaching publications of
a full list, of all those persons to

eminent is awaited with interest,
since this catalogue, if properly pre-
pared and distributed, may reveal the
existence of a multitude of frauds. 1t
will necessarily contain over 800, 600
names, with the accompanying Post
Office addresses; and local investi
cations may possibly defeat hundreds
or thousands of swindles, involving,
first and last, the stealing of millions
from the Treasury.

Labor should not be backward
about asserting its rights, because it
is king. Sturdy, skillful labor carves
wealth out of natures bosom and
beauties the earth. Forests gives
way before its powerful hand, and
fine plantations follow in its wake.
Civilization, thrift, wealth, and learn
ing are all the products of labor. How
contemplate then for a man, or a set
of men, to arrogate to themselves the
right to tyrannize over labor and the
laboring classes simply because they
are called rich. Stay the tyrant's
hand and let labor enjoy the fruits OF
honest toll. Stop the wicked accu
mutation of wealth by unfair means,
and let the law be just as between
rich and poor. Labor has the pow,
err to make all things even.

Republican papers still humble
over The mean lie got up by boss
Foster and Jayhawker Woodward;
but Col. Furay, of Columbus, a Re-
publ can, through his Sunday Her
aid, gives his brethren a backset in
his denunciation of the base yarn.
Here is the opinion of the New York
Herald: "Mr. Hoadly is a man of
high and e tablished character. He
pronounced Woodward's assertions
regarding him and his talk absolutely
false. That must settle the question
in the minds of honorable men. But
what becomes of Woodward and Gov
ernor Foster?'
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-09-06

No Democrat cares a continental
what Judge Hoadly said in 1868.
They are satisfied that whenever he
has said anything he has uttered his
convictions, and are delighted with
what he is saying in 1888. What he
may have thought and said sixteen
years ago may furnish the bridge on
which thousands of disgusted Repub'
licans can cross to enroll themselves
under the banner of George Hoadly
today.

ton about him and is not trained in
the deception of political hand shak-
