How the Depositors of Penny Benefit
Bank Amused Themselves.
London Telegraph.
The premises of penny benefit bank were
wrecked recently by crowd of depostors,
augmented apparently by number of street
loungers. An eyewitness thus describes tho
scene:
''The premises had apparently been hastily
evacuated by the staff, and the place by tho
time | entered. was in the hands OF the mob,
many of whom were depositors, with their
bank books in hand, fercely demanding tboir
money and interchanging their sorrows,
some of them in tears and evident distress.
The predominating spirit, however, was one
of mischief and the depositors present were
certainly outnumbered by disinterested
roughs who seemed equally delighted and
surprised to find so enjoyable an opportunity
for doing a little real mischief The floor
was quickly strewn with check-books and
bank stationery and into this litter the
water-flter had been emptied. An Office
chair had been mounted on the counter, and
an uniucky plaster bust, assumed
to represent somebody connected with
the concern had been placed in it,
bonneted with a zinc pail and ANONYMOUSLY
crayatted with an Office duster, and at this

About clock on Monday morning the
great cloud suddenly broke into small Sec
tons and quickly vanished. At the same
time frightful rumblings were heard, and
the columns of fire and smoke over the
southeast corner of the island ceased TO
ascend, while the craters in the other parts
OF Java seemed to open their fiery throats
still wider to let out the greatest
quantity of lava, rocks, pumice, and
ashes yet vomited forth. The kissing OF
the sea became so loud as to be almost deaf
ening The waves advanced on the shore to
an unprecedented height. When daylight
came it was seen that an enormous tract OF
land had disappeared extending from Point
Capucin on the south to Negery Pafsorang
on the north, and west to Loco point, cover
ing an extent of territory about fifty miles
square. In this were situated the village of
Negrery and Negrery Babawang.
In Batavia the loss mas been largely in
creased since the former reports. The roof
of the government house was crushed in by
a mass of mud and three of the retainers were
killed. The town bridge was destroyed, the
Diamond ard Pearl bastions badly damaged,
and the Burran redoubt destroyed. In Cay
mand Malabar and Lion streets, the princi-
pal avenues of the city, the damage is very
great Fort Aatyol is entirely destroyed.
The town of Faggal was severely shaken and
few buildings left standing.
A violent shock was felt in the island of
Sumatra on Monday forenoon, and it was
feared that other disturbances might follow.
Midah island, ten miles off the Javanese
coast and half way between the extreme
points of Java and Samatra was almost
wholly engulfed by the sea. The small island
of Singkel probably originally only cone
blown up by an eruption, entirely disap-
peared. 1t was uninhabited.
The aggregate loss of life must be fully 75,-
600, but the number of those who perished
can never, of course be accurately known.

The Hazed Naval Cadets.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Aug 30-A number of
fourth-class men were out in Annapolis on
leave to-day. One of them stated that the
published reports of the character of the
hazing are correct, and the ofIenses were
committed at irregular intervals from Ports
mouth to Annapolis. One fourthclass man
resisted his tormentor, third-class man,
and managed to whip him; but he added it
was best not TO resist as the hazers always
came in such numbers as to make resistance

San Celtic tide gauge All O'Clock A NJ,

were still exhibited yesterday. The height
OF the waves was one foot, and the time

A Curious Prophecy.

There is well known though rather
vaguely worded prophecy which declares
that sin France no son or kinsman of
of sovereign shall succeed to the
crown until after his forty-eightb year;
that other claimants shall die by violence,
upon the throne" The prediction, which, it
is believed, dates from pre-revolutionary
days, has been extensively referred to in con-
nection with the illness of the Comte de
Chambord and the coming of ago Of the
Prince Victor Bonaparte, and it is curious,
therefore, to note TO what entent it has al
ready been justified by events. OF the "heirs
Of France" since the beginning of the CEN
tury, the Duke of Berry was assassinated in
1880 by Louxel, the Duke of Reiohstadt died
of poison at Schonbrunn in 1882, the Duke OF
Orleans was killed by an accident in 1S42, and
the prince imperial met his death in Zulu
land in 1879, and all these failed to attain the
age of forty-eight.

CHOOSING LEGISLATORS.

In Colorado they are discussing the
proposition of electing United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people. They
have come to realizing sense of the fact
that the people manifest little care as to
what kind of legislators they send to the
Capitol. The ST. Louis Globe Democrat
confesses that experience teaches it this is
true. TIE ablest men do not now seek
legislative positions, it says, in Missouri.
What is to be the remedy? Will the pee
pie elect Senator'S directly of any better or
der than those chosen by State legislators
The logic of the Colorado and Missouri ar
gument responds "no." The Democrat,
however, does suggest an antidote worth
some consideration. It proposes that the
pay of legislators be made sufficient in
ducement for men of ability and business
capacity to leave their vocations and give
the State the benefit of their skill. It be-
heves this would bring enough competent
men into the field to leaven the whole
lump. The same rule it would apply to
Congress also. The suggestion is worthy
of thought, in view of the patent fact that
the people now choose legislative bodies,
State and National, which from the time of
assembly until the hour of dispersion they
view with apprehension.

Specific pledge making is oftener than

specific pledges relative to a proposed
financial policy for city, without any
reservation, is not so free to act as his con-
science and good judgment shall dictate,
after he has taken Office, as he who has SIM
ply pledged himself to do as he best can to
advance the interests of the city when he
shall be indicted into the place of respon-

official oath. This people has witnessed
