An American has arrived in this city
from Guanajuata where he was during
a rain of ashes that fell in that city. The
peculiar phenomenon, according to
statement made to a reporter, began at
about 1890 o'clock in the morning, when
ashes started to fall from 4 cloudless
sky. and when there was no wind pre-
vailing near the earth. The lower class
es were badly frightened, thinking that
the strange phenomenon was the pre-
cursor of some dire event. The churches
were sought by them, where they offered
up prayers to the Creator to save them
from destruction.
At times the fall of the gray material
from the sky was very thick, resembling
materially Il snowstorm. Tie buildings.
streets, trees and people were covered
with ashes ut the conclusion of the pecu-
liar storm. The ash storm was very
general in the state of Guanajuata. 1t is
the general opinion that the ashes were
waited By a northeasterly current of air
across hundreds of miles of country from
the active crater of the Columa volcano.

In the city the enumerator will be paid

vicious attack upon the horse, biting
and scratching it with leonine ferocity.
The horse was making the best defense
possible. rearing and kicking, and was
;i!ed by his mate, but the lion was very
evidently getting the best of the fight
and would soon have secured an equine
breakfast. AS young Evans. who was
on horseback. rode up the lion crouched

bitten Oh the fanks, neck and belly and
was nearly exhausted from loss OF blood

forcibly illustrated in Berlin not long
since by the famous chemist and expert.

nowned Sunshine laboratory.
A woman and her little child were
.aken suddenly and dangerously i'll with
out any apparent cause and the family
physician was summoned in haste. Af-
ter a careful examination he decided
that his patients had all the symptoms
of arsenical poisoning. He did every
thing i'll his power to help them, and
finally they were removed into another
room to see if any change would prove
beneficial, and they very soon recovered.
Upon going back to their former sleep
ing place they We're again prostrated and
once more removed.
DR.. Jeserich was summoned, and he at
once attacked the wall paper. He found
that the walls carried three layers of
paper, having been repapered twice. A
most careful examination revealed no
trace of arsenic whatever IN the two
outer papers, but the inner or original
covering contained an enormous guam
tity Of the poison. To Il surface of twelve
