AFTER A SLEEP OF AGES
A CENTRAL AMERICAN VOLCANO
BECOMES ACTIVE.
Twelve Thousand People Fleeing for
Their Lives-The City of Granada
Threatened With Pompeii's Fate.

GRANADA, Nicaragua, Sept. 2l.-
Twelve thousand people, terror-stricken
by earthquake shocks and the continued
rumbling Of the ancient volcano OF Nom
bacho, have fled from this city since
Sunday. Internal sounds resembling
distant thunder were heard. Almost
Immediately the earth heaved violently
and has continued to vibrate at brief in
tervals ever since, shattering nearly every
house in a city of $4,000 souls. Nom
bacho has been considered extinct for CEN
turies, no eruptions having taken place
since the discovery of the country. There
is now daily dread lest the long closed
crater should open and bury the town
in lava and ashes. A heavy shock came
Monday morning that caused immense
damage, cracking walls in all parts of
the city. 1t was felt at towns sixty and
seventy miles distant. Other shocks
equally heavy followed, though no dam
age has been done outside the city, where
there is hardly house that does not
threaten to fall. Avid panic has seized
the residents. Everyone is making des-
perate efforts to leave the city. The
government is running trains for that
purpose.

to present evidence to prove conspiracy
on the part of the defendants from that
time down to the time when the arrests
were made.
After the court had given a decision
on the matter of protests, Roman, on
behalf of the crown, continued to re-
count the events that occurred in 1889
in connection with the carrying out OF
the plan campaign. Healy declared
that the whole thing was a sham, and
demanded counsel for the crown to
come to the particular acts with which
the defendants were charged. Roman
protested that it was entirely out of his
power to shorten the proceedings.
Alderman Dillon, of Dublin, applied
for summons against Sergeant Ken
nedy, of the police force, for assaults
upon himself and Harrison, member
OF parliament. The magistrate, not
withstanding many protests, declined to
grant the desired summons and referred
Dillon to another magistrate. After the
question of the summons had been de-
cided, the magistrate announced an ad-
journment until tomorrow.
Morley's Influential Presence.
LONDON, Sept. 25.-The News Upper
ary correspondent declares that a
marked change occurred in the de-
meanor of the police when Morley
issued from the court, OH the appeal Of
several voices imploring him to come to
save the people. Evidently the police
had no desire to treat the English COM
moner with discourtesy. A brutal po-
lice attack was made on Heating,
proprietor of the Limerick Leader, who
was so severely injured that he bled
profusely from the mouth.
In an editorial the News SAYS: Son
this occasion the presence OF Morley has
given Importance to events which are
commonplace in the Irish administra-
tion."
The Chronicle says: "Mr. Morley's
life is OF so much value to the state that
we are compelled to protest against his
entering such scrimmages. Irishmen
will easily misinterpret his presence,
but for which it is possible the riot
would not have occurred"
While exempting Morley from any in
tention to influence the court, the Times
thinks he set an unhappy precedent.
Morley's Opportunity.
DUBLIN, Sept. 25.-The excitement
when the arrests of Dillon and O'Brien
was made, had its counterpart in
Nationalist circles today. The dis
patches from Tipperary created a pro-
found sensation. The fact that John
Morley is present at the trial, is con-
sidered subject for much congratula-
ton. 1t is thought the trial will afford
him more insight into the true inward
ness of the Irish problem than weeks of
ordinary travel and investigation.
The Irish-Americans Excited.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 25.-News OF the at
tack OF the police upon the people of
Tipperary, in which Timothy Harring-
ton received serious wound and John
Morley narrowly escaped death, aroused
intense indignation among the members
of the national council of the Irish
league now in session in Cincinnati.
President Fitzgerald sent cablegram to
Harrington, expressing sympathy and
horror at the deed, and the admiration

COOLIES CAPTURED.
Twenty Contraband Chinese Nabbed by
Customs Officers.

Customs Officers.
PoRT TOWNSEND, Wash, Sept. 25.-
The United States customs inspectors
Yesterday arrested twenty Chinese for
illegally attempting to enter the United
States. The inspectors while out on a
cruise with steam launch sighted
sloop near Port Hadlock, and at once
bore down upon her. The sloop was 500
yards ahead of them, and as soon
as it touched land two white
men jumped ashore and ran
into the woods. Inspector Jacklin
boarded the sloop and found twenty
Chinese lying in the hold of the craft,
which is less than four tons burden.
Wong Sing, who had charge ofthe party,
it is said, offered the customs officers $500
cash to let them land safely. They were
brought here and searched at the custom
house. Wong Sing was the only one
who had certificate allowing him to
return to British Columbia. About six
teen of them came over from China on
the last trip of the steamship
Mong Kut to Vancouver, but gave
their return certificates to white men
who were bringing them over, and
they will now have to be sent
back at the expense of the United States
government One of the captured band
told the interpreter that they boarded
the sloop at Victoria Monday night, and
were to pay $40 a piece to be landed
here safely. The money was to be paid
in Victoria, on the presentation OF cer-
tifcates from Wong Sing that they had
arrived safely. Meanwhile, the two
white men who escaped, have the
return certificates of the Chinese. The
twenty Chinese were taken before
United States Commissioner Swan, and
bound over, and in default of bail are in
ioil

New ORLEANS, Sept. 25.-The Times
Democrats San Antonio special says
A prominent railway official who reached
San Antonio this morning from the City
of Mexico, relates a startling story of an
attempt on the life of President Diaz
during the national celebration Oh the
18th inst. During the climax of the
festivities the president, accom-
panied by his personal staff,
stepped out on the piazza to witness
pyrotechnic display No sooner had
he appeared than volley of musketry
sounded, and bits of brick and timber
began to fly around his head. He re-
treated hurriedly to the room, followed
by his staff. Three bullets whizzad dan
gerously near him. Forty men are
known to have been connected in the
murderous plot, fifteen of whom are
now in Jail and the others are fleeing
precipitately from the country The
dastardly deed has been suppressed in
Mexico by the government officers.
The reason of the attack is assigned to
various causes, the most important of
which is that the president is strongly
suspected OF coquetting of late with the
clerical party, which is in direct conflict
politically and socially with the liberals,
to whom Diaz owes his power.

A COUNTY-SEAT WAR.
Two Colorado Towns Engaged in Bitter
Strife.


Strife.
LAMAR, Col, Sept. 25.-Word is
received of serious county-seat strife
between the towns of Boston and Spring
field in Baca county. Springfield
secured the seat at the election held last
fall. The only available building in the
county for court house, was hotel
building in Boston. A few weeks ago
this was sold at sheriff's sale, and
bought by Springfield parties. Satur-
day night a party left Spring
field for Boston to move the building to
the former town, and use it as court
house, thus preventing the county-seat
issue from being raised this fall. The
building was moved about five miles
toward Springfield, which is about
twenty-five miles from Boston, when
the people of the latter place discovered
the trick and Immediately organized.
All the available horses and rifles
were brought into requisition and
pursuit made. Upon overtaking
the party, battle began, which
ended in the Springfield party being
driven from the building, which was
then burned by the Bostonians. Great
excitement prevailed, but owing to the
isolation of the towns, news is hard to
obtain. Several parties arrived here
from Springfield last night and departed
hurriedly after buying all the cartridges
they could find in town. There is re-
port that several parties were seriously
wounded and two killed during the
fight, but no news was authentic.

A Controversy Oyer Governor Steven
sons Shoes.
CARSON, New, Sept 25.-Considerable
discussion is going on relative as to who is
now governor of Nevada. Some hold
that Frank Bell, being lieutenant-gov-
ernor, becomes acting governor by
reason of the governors death, but ow-
ing to a constitutional provision cannot
draw his salary. Others hold
that Governor Stevenson and
Lieutenant-Governor II. G. Davis
being dead, the president of the senate
takes the place. Others urge that Sec
retary OF State Dormer is the party who
is really governor. Considerable trouble
on this account, and something of a
mixed up affair, may be the result.

Early in March, 1867, n party of
friends, all old buffalO-hunters, now
living and prominent citizens of Wich-
tia and Great Bend, in Kansas. were
camped in Paradise Valley, then a
famous rendezvous of the animals they
were after. One day, when out on the
range stalking, and widely separated
from each other, an awful blizzard
came up. Three reached camp without
much difficulty, but he who was the
furthest away was fairly caught in it,
and night coming on, was compelled to
resort to method frequently employed
by persons lost on the plains. Luckily
he soon found superannuatcd bull
that had been abandoned by the herd,
and killing him, took out the viscera.
and himself crawled inside the huge
beast, where he lay comparatively com
Portable until morning, the storm hav-
ing cleared of, and the sun shining

get out, found himself prisoner. the
immense ribs of the creature having
frozen together and locked him up as
tightly rs If he were in cell. Fortu-
nately his friends, who were searching
for him and firing off their rifles

At another time two old plainsmen
were away up the Platte, among the
foothills, hunting buffalo, and they, AS
is generally the case, became separated
In an hour or two one killed fat young
COW, and, leaving his rifle on the
ground, went up and commenced to
skin her. When busily engaged in the
work, he suddenly heard right behind
him, suppressed sort of a snort, and
looking around, saw to his dismay a
monstrous grizzly ambling along in
that animals characteristic manner,
within few feet of him.
In front, only few rods away, there
happened To be clump of scrubby
pieces, and he incontientIy made break
for them, climbing into the tallest of
them in less time than il requires to
write of it. The bear deliberately ate
hearty meal off the COW, and when
he had satiated himself, quietly lay
down alongside of the carcass and
went to sleep, keeping one eye proba-
bly, on the hunter coI1alled in the tree.
In the early evening his partner came
to the spot, killed the bear, which, full
of buffalo, was sluggish and unwary
and became an easy victim, and the un-
willing prisoner came down from his
perch. The last time | saw him he told
me he still had the bears hide, which
he kept as n memento of his foolish
ness in separating himself from his
rifle, a thing he had never done before
nor since, and which no hunter should
be guilty of.-Hcnry Mman IN Harper'S
