LAKES SUDDENLY RISING AND
FALLING AS QUICKLY.

Showers of Mud Falling Over the Land
In Eccentric Courses-A Volcanic Gone
600 Feet High and Still Rising
Stones Thrown Out of the Bath of Boil
ing OIL.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9.-The steamer
Mariposa, which arrived here last even
ing from Australia, brings further details
OF the great volcanic disturbances which
lately occurred in New Zealand. Heavy
earthquakes were still felt in Farowera
and the Sulphur Springs districts. The
relief party that was sent out reported that
Lake Farowera had fallen considerably
The oil bath at Lake Rewareda was
throwing up stones and mud to height
of twenty feet, and the great boiling
lagoon of Papatangi would suddenly rise
as much as two feet and then as quickly
fall. Similar phenomena was observed at
the Kiurra caldrOn, which would rise two
feet in half an hour and then as quickly
return to its normal level. The telegraph
| officer in charge of Rotonia Station, near
where the eruptions and earthquakes
were the heaviest, reported on June 20
that volcano number one was dead and
that numbers two and three were steam
ing. Number four was still throwing up
mud.
ECCENTRICITIES OF THE MUD.
The New Zealand Herald says: "On
Galatia plains the volcanic showers of
mud at times took very eccentric courses,
overlapping one section of land and then
striking another further on in the same
line. Dr.HectOr who is making scientific
examination of the volcanic districts said
he expected that the volcanic cone which
was thrown upin Lake TotomOhana dur
ing the disturbance had already, on
July l, attained height of 600 feet,
and was daily adding to its stature. He
has named it Mount Hazard after gen.
tleman of that name who lost his life on
the first night Of the great eruption. A
chemical examination of the volcanic
ashes shows that they are mostly COM
posed of fine basaltic soil. Every huma
being had abandoned the entire portion of
country situated within the limits of the
volcanic system. Photographers we're
busily engaged taking views of the re-
gion."

The Proprietor Proves to be Seri-
Ously Embarrassed Financially.
CHICAGO, Aug. "a. p. Elder, of the
Elder Publishing Company and proprie-
tor of the Literary Life Magazine which
Miss Rose Cleveland, the Presidents
sister, has undertaken to edit, confessed
judgment to-day in favor of James j.
West, of the Western Publishing Com
pany. in the sum of $4,000. On SaJur-
day evening Mr.. Elder gave MIR. West a
judgment demand note in the amount
named. The judgment and execution
was issued this morning, and this after
noon the Sheriff levied on the real estate
and personal property Of Mr.. Elder.
HIS REAL ESTATE.
The real estate consists OF the house
where MIR. Elder resides. The person
atty consists chiefly Of property known
as the Literary Life, on which a levy has
been made and is now in the hands of the
custodian. Mr. West was seen at his
office. Beyond an admission that such a
confession of judgment had been made
to him, he refused to say anything re-
garding the affair, but from his attorney
it was learned that the judgment confess
ed was to satisfy loans made during the
last three months to Mr.. Elder, on Mr..
Elders real estate. There has been for
some time debt Of $4,000 secured by a
trust deed.
LONG OVERDUE.
This debt was long overdue, but the
bank holding the note had been held off on
one preteXt and another by Mr.. Elder,
On June 20, however, the bank gave Mr..
Elder notice that ten days more would be
allowed him in which to adj
Just the matter, at the end
of which time II nothing was done it
would have to foreclose. Ten days passed
and no arrangement was made. On July
8 Mr.. Elder came &c Mr.. West to help MIN
out. AS matter of simple accommoda-
ton Mr. " est agreed to buy the note, and
had the trust deed transferred to him as
security.
LITTLE BAD FAITH.
He gave Mr.. Elder a check for S., 900
and commissioned him to lift the note and
have the necessary transfer made. This
Mr.. Elder agreed to do but never did the
latter. All attempts to have him give the
security promised failed. Other sums
had been given Mr.. Elder at different
times by Mr.. West and secured by mort
gage on property In Ohio and elsewhere.
This property was guaranteed to be I'M
incumbered, but it turns out to be heayi-
ly inoumbered.
MR.. VESTS HoPEFULNEss.
Mr.. Vests attorney said: sit is an or
binary business transaction. We were
obliged to take possession of the real es-
tate and personal property of Mr..
Elder to secure ourselves. Mr., EI-
der was. not In his Office when reporter
called this afternoon, but people in the
office said that they thought the matter
would be arranged promptly. and that the
publication Of the magazine would be con-
tinued as heretofore with the Presidents
sister in editorial charge. Mr.. Elder
declared later in the day that the publ
cation of the magazine would not be af-
| teoted In any way"
