Brazil, Ind, July 3.-The regular
semi-wcekly meeting of the Miners Cen
trail Relief Company was held yesterday.
The number of dependents was reported
at 5,577, an increase of IS since Friday.
The vote taken at the different mines On
Monday was officially announced to be
in favor of rejecting the operators offer
and continuing the strike. The miners
are expecting aid from Illinois, Ohio and
PENNSYLVANIA, which, since they are I'M
organized, is slow about coming IN. One

to work unless moro help comes. The
operators still offer work sufficient TO
afford support at 70 and Is cents a ton.

Feat Of a Billy Goat.

A flock Of goats were browsing and
looking for stray oyster cans, sardlTe
boxes and the like in North Dallas, when
all az once there was a commotion
among the foremost ones, which beat a
hasty retreat. An old Billy, who had
beer fetching up the rear with the
solemnity of 4 deacon, walked to the
front, paused, and began to strike the
ground right hard in an odd sort of way
with his fore feet, and al the same time to
shake his head as if going through some
sort of superstitious incarnation. He
then walked back in the direction he
had come for few yards, and, taking a
running start, made u long Jump, allght-
ing with his legs buached, and imme-
diately on hitting tie ground made a
second long jumr far out to,aene side.
The gentleman who witnessed this
strange performance, prompted by curl
osity. went up to see what the trouble
was. and there lay a big rattlesnake cut
nearly in two, writh;ns in the throes OF
death. .-DuliaS, Ietus, Star.

BURNING CRATEES.


Promise Of an Eruption in California;
Ifznzs.ac2 Izv=f---znzs.a2 --5ssaSsasa, $3.50
SAN FRANCISCO, June 5o::s~s front
Susanville, in the Sierra Nevada, says
that slight earthquake shocks continue,
and that the people have become so ac-
customed to the constant trembling of
the earth that they pay no attention to
it. Those shocks, however, have re-
vived recolleetions Of the old settlers,
who predict volcanic disturbances in the
extinct craters, such as took place IN
1850.
Susanville lies in high mountain
walled valley, directly east of Lassen
Butte, an extinct volcano 10000 feet
high. From this summit no less than
forty extinct craters can be seen. The
cinder cone, which rises 600 feet above
the level of the plateau, was in eruption
in 1850. The flames darted up to a
great height. Two prospectors visited
it, and they found lake Of saltpetre
eight miles south of Cinder cone, a
center of the volcanic forces. This lake
was mass Of burning water and mud,
and from it vast columns of flames shot
up at intervals. The timber in the Vi
cinity was on fire. The region. was SO
dangerous the prospectors beat retreat
IN which for several miles they passed
over rocks so hot that their boots were
scorched. They lost q horse and pack
mule, and thought themselves fortunate
to escape without injury. This
lake has an elevation OF
nearly 5000 feet above sea level, and
covers an area of four acres. 1t is sur
rounded by rim one hundred feet
high, but the not water finds egress
through a fssure Its borders are marked
by small, putting mud cones. Jets Of
gas shoot from the hot, creamy water,
which, no doubt, issues from crater.
Within two years there has seemed re-
newed activity III the internal fires and the
present shocks point TO the possib lity OF
another great volcanic outburst, which
will find vent through some of the. old
craters. Springs in the neighborhood are
so churned by the shocks that the water
begins to look like milk, and Eagle:Lake
is assuming a similar hue. At Big
Meadows the big springs are drying up,
though their flow has always been con-
slant.

COULDN'T MEET ITS OBLIGATIONS
The Mobile Insurance Company Makes
an Assignment.

MOBILE, July 3.-At a late hour last
night the Mobile Insurance Company
made general assignment to D. K.
Burgess and Elliott Toxey. No state
ment of the company's condition Is
made, but there are 1,10O outstanding
policies, mostly held by AlabamlanS and
Mississippians. Obligations were found
maturing faster than could be met, and
an assignment was the consequence.
This is the last of IS life insurance COM
panies which were started in the South
about 1870 and 1871, and their extinc-
tion is said to be caused by the great
Northern companies who have gradually
swallowed up the life insurance business.

LYNCHBURG, Va, July 3.-The scene
of the terrible disaster near Thacton's
on the Norfolk and Western Railroad,
Is beyond description. There is hardly
enough left of the train of eight cars
that took the leap to the bottom of the
awful pit to make one car. AS soon as
the boiler of the engine exploded the
entire mass of debris took fire, and
those who went down who were not
killed outright were burned to
death. Portions of eight bodies
have been taken out, and
it is believed that fully fifteen others
were entirely consumed. a survivor
of the wreck says cries for help could be
heard from all portions of the wreck,
and those unhurt were powerleSs to ren.
der assistance. Women who managed
to escape lay about on the damp ground,
suffering from their injuries until day
break, and many walked long distances
to farm houses. The few passengers
lett uninjured did all in their power for
the ,MfortunateS.
