VOLCANO OF CoLIMA.

CITY OF Mexico, Sept. 27.-Stephen
Heaton, an American railroad contractor,
has been an eyewitness to the late erup-
ton of the volcano of Colima. The vol
cano crater is 12,C00 feet above the sea-
level and is very active. Spasmodic
eruptions occur ten or twelve times a day,
followed by reports similar to that from
artillery. A few days before the earth
quake of last month the volcano vomited
dense black smoke that hung over the
country for miles around. This phe-
nomenon lasted several days and was ac-
companied by showers of red-hot ashes

wILL ACCEPT THE "CHARLEsTON." !"

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27. = Secretary
Tracy has decided to accept the Charles
ton from its contractors. A number of
kilograms passed last night and this
morning between the secretary and
Commodore Benham, with reference to
the improvements recommended in the
report of the board. The mooted ques-
tions were settled satisfactorily and the
secretary directed that q telegram be
sent to the Union Iron Works, San
Francisco. directing them to deliver the
vessel to the commandant of the Mare
Island navy yard, and another telegram
to the commandant of the yard directing
him to accept the vessel on behalf of the
government. Before the kilograms were
sent, however, the secretary's attention
was called to the fact that the bureaus
of engineering and construction had not
yet had time to consider the report, and
it was always usual to allow them that
privilege. "Well," said the secretary,
"allow those kilograms to lie over; it
won't hurt to wait week before accept
ing"

PORTLAND, Sept. 27.-Justice Phelan
held Mrs. Hoffman to appear before the
grand jury and gave her ten days in Jail
for alleged contempt of court. Mrs.
Hoffman was overwhelmed with surprise
and indignant at this ruling, while Mrs.
Hoyt, on the contrary, enjoyed it. The
contempt was not committed by defend
ant, but deputy Fitzsimmons only ac-
knowledged that he was the party to be
punished. After allowing the lady to
suffer unutterable mental anguish for
about ten minutes, the court said he
would suspend the sentence. The trouble
in the first place grew out of a com
plaint by Mrs. Hoyt who claimed that
Mrs. Hoffman had poisoned some geese
belonging TO the plaintiff. Both ladies
are residents of Goose Hollow.
This afternoon b. Clinton, alias Perry,
was on trial on an Indictment charging

ed his own case, and accepted a jury
| summoned without questioning them.
This afternoon &. y. Eames began ac-
ton for divorce in the circuit court

SUGAR REFINERY LOSING MONEY.

New YORK, Sept. 27.-The news that
Claus Spreckles proposes establishing
sugar refinery at New Orleans is the
principal subject of discussion among
commercial men. The trust has Just lost
one of its best properties, the Dick and
Meyer refinery, by fire. 1t has had eIior-
nous quantities of refined sugar slowed
in warehouses for months, and which
cost 8 cents per pound and upwards raw,
end though the price of raw has dropped
to about 6 cents, the trust still keeps up
refined in the neighborhood of 81 cents,
endeavoring to save, itself from heavy
losses.
The cost of refining, storage and in
surance to be added to the raw material.
so that sugar now selling at 81 cents
must have cost l cent more, and the trust
must be losing fully $50. per ton, and
probably more.

The DR.. Cronin's Murderer.

The jury OF investigation in the Gro.
min murder case in Chicago has been
discharged without finding bill charg.
ing the murder to anyone. This is
something OF a surprise from the facts
that had already been unearthed by the
Chicago detectives and newspaper cor
respondents. The shrewd detectives
found the dead mans clothes three diff
ferent times, and greater number OF
times they found the man that told all
about the methods adopted to destroy
DR.. Cronin. The latest display OF deep
thinking and shrewd investigation is
that DR.. Cronin was not killed, but is still
alive. Oh "Old Windy" stands without
rival, either in the matter OF wheat
deal or the ferriteng out of a murderer.

Still In Jeopardy.

The jury in the Britton case is still
celebrating. The arguments were closed
last Tuesday afternoon and Judge Hug
gins charged the jury. During the
argument, both by the State and the de.
tense, the court room was crowded
almost to sufFocation, the audience being
mostly ladies. As to the merit of the
argument on either side 1t is hardly
within our province to say; nor would
we attempt to say where the weight Of
public opinion rested. Britton's case is
resting in the hands of the proper au'
thorities, and justice to the prisoner and
community is what should be desired
by all.

Councils DOings.

Council met in regular session last
Monday evening. The session was quite
busy one, although there was only
bare quorum present. The usual month.
ly bills for the running expenses of the
corporation were passed. The subject
Of water works for the village was
brought up, and, as will be seen in our
columns elsewhere, the Fire Committee
is authorized to receive bids for the
erection of a plant of that kind in Hills
boro. This is but the initiatory step and
1t is to be hoped that Council, as well as
the enterprising citizens OF the place,
will talk the matter over in . sensible
and business like way. If water works
are to be established in Hillsboro let the
system be of the very best that is in use.
And great care should also be taken that
contract such as will correspond with
our bank account should be made. Let
the company erecting the plant locate
the supply Of water, and let the company
guarantee amount and quality Of supply.
In connection with this Council also
advertises for bids for the quarrying Of
stone for street purposes. Also for bids
for gas posts and other fixtures belonging
to the corporation.

~, makes King Henry to exclaim
thus concerning the future,
30, If this were seen
The happiest youth-viewing his prog.
ress through,
What perils past, what crosses to ensue-
Would shut the book and sit him down
and die."
But ignorant OF the future we still
hope on.
There are many who will not take
warning from that portion of the future
we have revealed to us, then IL it were
all revealed would they not act the
same? We think they would.
Our Creator certainly thought 1t best
for us that we should not know our fu.
ture, for He has hidden 1t from us, but
ought we not be willing to entrust our
future to Hin who is able to create
worlds? This assuredly Is the best
plan, for "Sufficient unto the day Is
the evil thereof"
Our wisdom and experience suggest
to US that We trouble not ourselves
about that which IL to come, but leave
that to Heaven; that we do each duty
that may lie In our path and 80 prepare
ourselves that whatever the future may
have In store for us, be 1t sorrow or
happiness, we may be able to make the
best of 1t and thus make the world bet
ter by our lives.
In the words of Geo. Mcdonald,
1.-THE bert preparation for the future is
the present well seen to, the last duty
DONE"

Trouble In Camp.

The 18th Regiment held an election
for field officers short time ago in which
some claim that G. L. Thompson, of
Georgetown, was elected Colonel, while
the returning board declares the re.elec-
ton of Col. White. The trouble in the
camp arises from the throwing out Of 10S
votes, the Hillsboro company's being
among the number thrown out. The
reason claimed for the throwing out Of
the votes is that the ballots did not &C.
company the returns. We are not posted
on military methods, but there seems to
be disposition on the part Of some OF
the boys to abandon the trenches. 1t
will hardly result in q contest by bullets
in lieu Of ballots.

The old adage "thst it never rains but
IL pours" seems to be emphasized by the
frequency Of runaways horses
we mean. Last week mention was
made Of the breaking OF buggy on
High street by horse belonging to Mr..
Hiram Smith. Mrs. Beecher, in COM
pany with some lady friends a few days
ago, had quite scare as we'll as con.
siderable shaking up from the ponies
displaying their ability to take the
pb@ton and it's occupants down East
Main street at a rate, however satisfactory
to the ponies, not at all relished by
the occupants. But aside from the scare
and shaking nothing Of serious nature
was the result, the runaways being
stopped before any material damage was
done.
Last Saturday Mr.. Eugene Stabler's
nag double team-the colt was tied to
its mother) came up Walnut street from
the residence Of Mr.. Stabler at a gate
that was not in keeping with the salts.
factory delivery OF vegetables. Abasket
containing potatoes was deposited at the
corner Of East and Walnut streets. Other
articles were strewn along from East to
High as the racer passed up Main street.
The last seen OF the runaway by ye
scribe it was still going westward.
On Monday last gray horse belong
ing to some party unknown to us was
giving free circus to the people in the
vicinity Of the Farmers Hardware Com
pany's store and the Kramer House. The
horse was fastened to the rear end OF
blackboard by halter. The anchorage
proved to be too light. He swung with
his moorings mingling blackboard shafts
and horse legs in way that prevented
any interference for some time. He
was captured when he quit, and fastened
to more solid object.

It is early to advertise the Highland
County Fair, but from all we can learn
it bids fair to be equal to any OF its pred
ecessors, and saying that much is saying
a great deal, for the present management
is noted for the successful manner in
which they conduct the fairs in this
county. But there is a prospect for some
rare curiosities from Jackson township
this year. 1t is in the iatherly love OF a
turkey gobler who, by his winning ways,
succeeded in enticing whole brood OF
that species Of poultry from the mother
hen, and has tenderly fed, watered and
otherwise cared for these helpless or
phans, which are all likely to be on ex-
hibition next month at the Highland
County Fair. Commissioner Larkin, who
is also President of the Fair Board,
knows the particulars. Ask him.
