THE EERUPTION OF COLIMA.

A Grand Spectacle Visible fer Miles Around-Showers Of Red Hot Ashes.
 CrrY or MEXICO, Sept. 24.-Steven Hea- ton, an American railroad contractor now in this city, from Colima, was an eye witness of the late eruption of the volcano of Colima, which is thirty miles north of the city of the same name.
 This volcano has it's crater at an elevation of 12, 900 feet above the sea level and is very active internationally throwing up column of smoke and red hot ashes hundreds of feet in the air.
 These spasmodic eruptions occur about ten or twelve time day and are followed by re- ports similar to the discharge of artillery.
 A few days before the earthquake last month the volcano vomited forth dense black smoke that hung like a pail over the country for miles around.
 The phenomenon lasted for several days and was accompanied at intervals by showers of red hot ashes, which descended upon it's side.
 It is not known whether or not any lava is being thrown out, as the red hot ashes makes investigation impossible. At night the sudden eruptions present the appearance of fireworks of gigantic charac- ter.
 These uudden spurts illuminate the coun- try for miles around, and tho spectacle is a grand one.

ANOTHER BURGLARY.

The House Of Charles Bates on Orange
 Street Entered Last Night by Burr
 glars-A Gold Watch and Other valu.
 ables Stolen.
 About 12 o'clock last night the residence of Charles B. Bates, 437 Orange street, was entered by burglars, or rather burglar.
 He got in the house by breaking pane of glass in the rear door and then unlocking it. Then he went upstairs, carrying his dark lantern, for he had one with him.
 Mrs. Bates was awakened by the burglar peering into the door of her bedroom. She awakened her husband and he rushed out after the thief, firing four shots as he ran, none of which hit the flying burglar. He is described by MT. Bates as being about six feet tall and having mask of white cloth over his face, showing black above it, giving rise to the opinion that he was colored man.
 The articles stolen were gold watch and chain worth $150,. but of much greater value to Mr. and Mrs. Bates, as it was gift from some friend, and two gold breast pins, also very valuable. The police have no clue.

MASSACHUSETTS, POLITICS.

To.Day's Republican Convention Will
 be an Exciting One-A Lively Night
 Before she COnventiOn-Bracke and
 Crapo Men 10th Confident.
 BOSTON, Sept. M.-Te-morrow's Republi- can State convention promises to be one of the most exciting ever held in this State and 1t is the general opinion among the delegates that until ballot is taken for governor no one can tell who will be the successful can didate. The Fremont House is given over to the politicians tonight and the various head quarters have been thronged. At the Brack cit camp it was claimed that Bracket will have a majority on the first ballot, and so confident are his managers that they have agreed with the Crapo men that there shall be no informal ballot taken, but that the convention shall proceed to business as quickly as possible after organization. at the Brackett hea dquarters it was stated that Bracket was suae Of 779 votes while their canvass credits only 564 to Crapo with 87 doubtful. These figures, they say, have have agreed to their part that there shall be no nominating speeches in the convention tomorrow, but the Crapo managers have not as yet acquiesced and the matter will not be decided until tomorrow morning Hon. F. T. Greenhalge will present Mir. Brackett's name, Colonel Hopkins of Wor- cester will present that of MT. Grape. Hon. John D. Long will nominate Hon. W. W. Halle of Springfield, and F. A. Gaskell, dis trict attorney of Worcester county, will pres sent the name of George w. Johnston of Brookheld for lieutenant governor, while Myron P. Walker of Belchertown and Fran cis Jewett of Lowell will also be placed in nomination for the same office.
 l Never before have delegates been so com pletely at sea Rs to the outcome of the con- vention, both as to the head of the ticket and for lieutenant governor. Crapo leaders are still confident of victory. Among the dele gates very little talk was heard regarding the candidacy of General E. w. Hinckes, oi Cambridge, for secretary of state, and it was the feeling that his following would be nc obstacle to Secretary Pierce's renomination Everybody seemed in the best of spirits, ane all agreed that never before in the history o1 Massachusetts politics has there been such { stirring up among the Republicans and neve such a lively night before the convention.

The Defense Bears Unusual and Un-
 willing Testimony for the Prosecu-
 tiOn.
 HARTFORD, Sept. 24.-During the trial to- day in the Superior court of William J. Sou. der for murder in the second degree the de- fense bore unusual and unwilling testimony for the prosecution. The prosecution claims that death to the victim, John Calvin result. ed from a penetrating wound to the skull and brain from psnknife in the hands of the ac- cused, while the defense claim the subsequent operation of trephining caused it. The de- fense claim that such . wound could not be inflicted with . knife in the hands of an or. dinarily strong man. Dr. J. s. Curtis was on the stand to testify to this effect, when he was given 8 skull and knife and asked to show the i@possibility of penetrating the skull by blow. He struck several blows, one of which produced much the same kind of wound as the State claims was inflicted upon Calvin. This act by witness who had just testified that such g wound could not be made produced something of a sensation in court.
 THE BASE BALL BROTHERHOOD A Letter from a League Player Explain
 Ing the scheme.
 ST. LOUIS, Sept. 24.-The editor of the Sporting News to-day received the following letter from a well-known member of the Boston base ball club: 'I thought I would write you few lines in regard to the brether- hood of National league players. After de- ciding not to strike last spring we concluded to start an association of our own and to ask no more favors of the directors of the league. Some of the best men in the land are back of the scheme, and the players and all will be heard from just as soon as the sea- son of 1889 comes to 8 close. The new brotherhood contract Is one of the best ever gotten up. It will hold the players to their agreements tighter than vice. It will not only give the public good ball playing, but every player will work with g will, knowing that he is directly interested in gate receipts. The better position a club holds the more money there will be of the season. Some are of the opinion that the players will try to run the thing to suit themselves. This is not the idea. It will simply be transfer to other directors. The parks will be located in the best parts of all the cities, and agents have been working since spring.
 would have told you this before, but ] wanted to get all the facts. The players, of course, are keeping the matter quiet, and no matter what happens, do not mention my name in connection with this matter. Spald- ing is all broken up over today's develop ments, and so is Anson. Director Cenant will get here today. I hear that he and the other directors of the Boston club are wild.
