The Horrors Multiply.

LUDINeToN, Mich, May 12.-Some
people who lived in Walkerville before
the fire struck them have arrived here
in a wretched state. They say it is i'm
possible to tell how many inhabitants
have escaped alive and they fear many
have died in the woods where they fled
for safety. The village had 800 inhabi-
tants and no one knows where more
than half of that number are at present.
Rumors of large loss of life at other
points come in, but verification is i'm
possible. This entire county will be
swept unless rains come today.

GONE AFTER THE IrArA.
such is Believed to he the CharIeston's
Mission.

SAN Francisco, May 1O.-From an
authoritative source, says the Examiner,
it is learned that the Charleston course
will lay south, and that instructions
from Washington contained au injunc-
tion to keep sharp lookout for the Itata.
The hope of overtaking the runaway
rebel craft is not entirely abandoned, as
the Itata did not have so much of start
as was supposed yesterday. Information
from the Mexican and Southern Califor-
mia coast shows that the Itata did not
start for home Immediately on leaving
San Diego, but fingered outside until
the Robert and Minnie could get out and
transfer her heavy cargo of rifles and
cartridges. The transfer was not COM
pleted until late Friday afternoon, so
that the Itata's is cut down to thirty
six hours, and about 500 miles distance
If the Charleston does not pick her up,
her orders are to keep on until Admiral
Brown is encountered in Chilian waters.
These orders have business ring that
promises active service for the American
fleet, especially the Charleston, as the
Itata is bound to loose a day or more at
Cape San Lucas, transferring the coal to
Esmeraida, sent by the rebels to convoy
the steamer and her stores to the starry
wing base of operations. Should this be
the meeting point fight is the most
probable thing on the card. The rebels
are desperate. They have no authority
to answer to, and unless the Esmeralda's
crew proves to be composed of rank cow
ards, the Charleston's attempt to seize
the Itata will be followed by some warm
work. The American vessel has the
better of it in speed, men, coal and pro-
visions and navigating talent, but the
Esmeralda has guns of greater caliber,
and only slightly less modern than the
Charleston

A summer Resort in berkshire.

Summer Resort In Berkshire.
Several citizens of New York city,
Poughkeepsie, Mount Washington and
Great Darlington have organized the
South Berkshire club for the purpose of
establishing a summer resort for them
selves and families at Sky farm, Mount
Washington, the birthplace of Elaine
and Dora Goodale. Those best known
in the vicinity as active in the enterprise
are 81. F. Keith, of Mount Washington;
s. B. Goodale, E. L. Pope, of New York;
and Lawyer A. G. Collins, of Great Bar
rington. The farm of 900 acres is to be
called Taconic Woodland, and be laid
out as park of sixty-five shares, and it
is expected that a shareholder will build
cottage upon each lot and have sixty
fifth interest in the property of the asso-
citation.
The club house for the entire company
will be the historic Sky Farm cottage,
from which magnificent view is OBJ
tanned in every direction. The house
will contain dining rooms, parlor and
library, with accommodations for tran
sient guests. Thirty shares are already
subscribed for, and the lots are sold only
to approved parties under proper restric-
tions. The town of Mount Washington
is in the southwestern part of Berkshire
county, and was organized June 81,
1779. Previous to it's incorporation it
was known as Tauconnuck Mountain,
meaning the great wooded mountain,
and here were made, about 1898, the
earliest settlements in Berkshire

DON'T LIKE THE SYSTEM.
A London Paper Attacks the United
States naturalization Laws.

LONDON, May 1O.-The Observer, com
menting on the New Orleans improglio,
attacks the whole system py which for
eigners are made citizens of the United
States, and declares that the method
by which the New Orleans Sicilians were
as binding in any civilized community.
The writer instances the way in which
American consuls abroad, in the troub-
lous times of 1S48 in Europe, converted
Italian, Polish and Hungarian refugees
into American citizens in order to pro-
teet them. He predicts that the United
States will yet be obliged to change
some of its laws bearing on this and cog
nate questions. and that the trouble
with Italy is far from settled.

YOUNG DON JUANs.
The Course OfTrue Love Changed by a
Policeman.

CARLISLE, Pa, May 11.-During the
progress of the soiree-musicale given Sat
urday night by the Metzar institute, a
female seminary of this place, two we'll
known students of Dickinson college
placed a long ladder against the rear of
the institution, and tried to reach the
private rooms of two of the inmates, with
whom they had arranged to spend the
evening. The ladder was too short, SO
-the boys borrowed another from coal
yard near by, with which to splice it..
Two policemen, happening to observe
their operations. waited until the colleg-
ians were well up the ladder, and then
attempted to arrest them. The lower
one jumped and escaped, but lost his
hat, by which means his name was as
certained. The other was captured and
placed under 5000 bail on the charge of
attempted ouse-breaking. A warrant
has been issued for the one who escaped.

THE PRINCE OF WALES.
Germans Indignant That He Should
Have Asked To Open the London
Exhibition.

BERLIN, May lO.-Many Germans are
indignant that the Prince of Wales
should have been selected to open the
German exhibition in London, though
in the ordinary course of things he would
be the most suitable person to perform
the function. 1t is alleged that the
prince, for some reason, threw cold water
on the exhibition project from the start,
and that be only recently wrote the en-
peror that the enterprise was purely a
speculation, and advised the kaiser to
have nothing to do with it. The conse-
quence is said to have been that the en-
peror withheld his support from the ex-
hibition until it's managers laid convinc-
ing proof before him that it was genuine
exhibition and worthy of patronage.
There are some who reason that the
prince may have been correct in his crit
icism of the purposes of the exhibition
at the time he communicated with the
emperor, and that his disapproval had
the effect of causing the promoters of the
affair to turn it into more legitimate
enterprise, making it possible for him to
finally give it his open sanction.
