An Early Morning Runaway.

About twenty minutes past one o'clock
this morning the horses on the hack driven
by Thomas Fahy started to run from the
corner of Chapel and State streets and
rushed down State street at full galop.
When they passed Kellogg's gun store on
the corner of Elm and State street the
coach struck the gilded sign of the gun
and key, which is on the edge of the curb,
and broke off the gun and damaged the
coach. The horses ran at full speed 10
their barn near Foster street, distance of
two miles, meeting with no obstacle to
impede them.

your honor, there are some things used as

are now in the hands of experts and will
not be here to morrow nor next day, nor
probably the day following. Consequently
we have agreed with the defendant ooun-
sci to adjourn this hearing until Thursday
| If it meets your honor's approval" An
adjournment until Thursday was then or

UNEXPECTED HONOR TO THE COURT.

The city hall bell had hardly ceased
ringing the hour of Q, when Judge Blais-
dell entered from his room and went up to
the bench. AS he walked along each of
the 300 persons in the room arose and re-

his seat. The rising was an innovation
and an unexpected honor to the district

Attorney Phillips was the first lawyer to
appear at the table set apart for the de-

An Island All AbIaze.

The steamer China has arrived from
Hong-Kong and Yokohama. While the
steamer was between Hong-Kong and
Yokohama on the return trip to San
Francisco an imposing sight was wit
messed by the passengers and crew.
y The great earthquake at Yokohama
had taken place short time previous,
and many of the islands in the Yellow
sea were in state of volcanic disturb
ance. About z o'clock on the evening of
Nov. the China was passing the Aleu-
tian islands, in Van Dieman's straits,
when suddenly the island of Succa
seemed all ablaze, and flames and lava
shot up to distance of 800 feet in the
air. 1ss
The steamer was twelve miles distant.
and the spectacle as seen from her deck
was grand. The night was dark and the
eruptions from the crater of the volcano
took place at intervals of about fifty Sec
onds. They were accompanied by deto-
nations which in the distance sounded
like bombs exploding, and after each
discharge Of molten lava and flames the
burning fragments descended like sparks
from gigantic Roman candle.-San

Redeemed After Many DAYS.

Several years ago resident of Delhi
placed seven five dollar bills for safe
keeping in the fancy piece surmounting
the parlor stove. The latter hardly ever
came into use, and it was his intention
to remove the money on the following
day. 1t SO happened that few days af
terward some guests arrived at the
house and fire was starteosi1 the stove.
AS the stove Redeemed into a glowing
heat a wreath of smoke assembled from
the top piece, and it was soon realized
that the bills were undergoing the proc
ess of cremation. Four OF the bills
were entirely consumed, and the other
three were charred almost beyond recog-
milton. The owner, thinking them of no
particular value, kept them in the leaves
of book as curiosity. A short time
ago he called friends attention to
them, who said they could be redeemed
at Washington. He sent them on and
last week received three new five dollar
bills in exchange for his trouble.-Gn-

An Exciting Chase After a Burning Tug.
-Four men struggled for their lives on
a burning tug three miles from shore
one morning recently in the gathering
dawn. The men were the crew of the
tug John A. Miller, suddenly aroused to
find the engine house mass of flames
A gallant struggle to check the flames
was of no avail. With full head of
steam on the boat was headed for the
shore, but the rapid fire drove the
wheelsman from the pilot house, and
then the blazing and unmanageable tug
plowed the choppy waves in great cir
Gle, the flames swiftly eating their way
to the stern, where the four men stood
helpless against the fury of two ele-
ments. They had fought the fire till
almost exhausted, their hands and faces
were burned, and in despair they glanced
m every direction for sign that help
was coming.
A mile away east the crew of the tug
Welcome saw the flames of the burning
boat The throttle was thrown wide
open, and the little boat, with the
whistle footing hope for the imperiled
crew, plunged through the heavy sea
toward the burning tug. Blazing al
most to the waters edge it was running
mad race through the waves. Two
brothers of the Welcomes captain were
on the burning boat, and, in danger of
collision or of catching fire, the We'll
come shot after the Miller on its course.
1t was a thrilling race. Round and
round the boats went before the We'll
come could touch the Miller. The four
men crouched astern. The flames leaped
toward them. They were scorching the
faces of the men. With squirt the
Welcome crushed into the Miller Three
pairs of arms shot out over the bow
and in a moment two of the four
exhausted men were on the Welcome
and it steered clear of the burning boat
Another squirt and the rescuers managed
to haul out the other men.--Chicago

James to his father and "bubn to his

He thought if the time ever came

but there came a day when he had his

to our James it was the dawn of a new
