New Volcanoes in Lower California.

SAS DIEGo, Cal, June 2i.-Two pros
pectors, while on an expedition in Santa
Clara Valley. near Alamo, Lower Califor-
mia, a few days ago observed two peaks al
terna,ely spouting smoke and flames at short
intervals, the eruptions being accompanied
by rumbling sounds and an occasional qui-
yer of the ground. They stopped long
enough TO satisfy themselves that two veri
table volcanoes had opened. Later travel
lers confirm the report of the volcanoes
but say they are not so active as at first.

CHARLESTowN, Sept "a. The bod,
Of Harry Smooth was conveyed b,
hearse from Charlestown to Shepherds
town his former houie. Interment WY.
made IN the cemetery at that place,
but no church services were held.
There was a large attendance, many
persons going to the cemetery out OF
respect to the family and others being
attracted through curiosity. The corr.
ner's jury. which began its inquest
over the body of Harry f. s'mootz on
Wednesday and adjourned until yes
terday met and continued the investi-
cation as to the manner by which the
poison was conveyed in the Jail to the
deceased. Several witnesses were
summoned, among whom we're
Smootz's brothers and sisters, but no
evidence was obtained that would clear
the mystery surrounding the case as
to how the deceased obtained theopium
His brothers and sisters were allow
ed to testify in thoir own behalf, there
by removing any suspicion in the
minds of the public duplicating them
in procuring the drug or aiding there
in. The testimony eXonerated the
family from implication in causing the
death. The jury, after hearing the
evidence, returned the following YER
dict, signed by the coroner and each
juror.
1--WE, the jury of inquest over the body
of Harry f. Smooth, find that the said
Harry +. Smooth came to his death by
taking poisonous dose Of opium, adj

This closes the matter, and there viii

HoMK STEAD ALARMED.
They Had Net Given the Charges gaivsi
Any Serious thought, But Now
\ 1t is Different

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Sept "a. The
action Of the grand jury in returning
true bills in 100 Homestead cases has
caused very profound sensation here,
not unnixed with some apprehension.
1t was never for u moment thought
that all of the charges would be sus-
tanned by the grand jury, and now that
all have been, speculation as to the
possibility of conviction is engrossiug
many minds.
Up to this time the Homesteaders
paid little attention to the suits and
practically none to their defense, but
the grand jury having brought before
before them the gravity of their po-
sition, there is lively hustle to prove
alibis and establish other sufficient
grounds for defense, which will inter
pose between the defendants and the
penitentiary.
The Advisory Board has not been
dissolved in consequence of the con-
spiracy suits. and in fact several new
members were added this morning.
The members of the Board are conf
dent that under the act of 1891 theirs
is legal organization, and from Judge

MURDERED HIS CHILD.
Horrible Crime of Dementea Man

Horrible Crime of II Demented Man.
NoRRIsTowN, PA, September 23.-
Maddened by the ravages Of disease
and the frenzy of religious excite
ment, VIM. Loeb. drover, residing
at Harmonville, Plymouth Township,
seized a heavy club and attacked his
aged mother, breaking her arm and
fracturing her skull, so that her death
is only a matter of few hours. Then
showing the PROSTATE body Of his moth
er across the floor, he seized his nine
teen-months-old infant in his arms and
leaped through a window, and fell up
on roof outside. About thirty per-
sons, attracted by the frightened cries
of Loch's mother and wife, the latter
lying very i'll in an adjoining room, as
we'll as by the frenzied yells of the
mailman himself, had assembled out
side the house.
Holding the child up before the hor-
rifed spectators, Loeb cried; " Willie,
my darling, you will soon be an angel,
for Jesus Christ has commanded me
to wash my face in your blood"
AS he SAID tneSe words LOcn drew d
razor across the babes throat from ear
to ear, almost seyering the head from
the body.
Depositing the limp form on the
porch roof, he stopped, and, with his
hands, scooped up the warm life blood
of his gasplng son, and rubbed the
crimson fluid over bis face, increasing
his demon-like aspect.
At this time the lookers-on had re-
covered from thesshock that had held
them speDbound and endeavored to
capture the mailman. Loeb made
desperate resistance, and it was only
after he had been knocked insensible
that his capture was effected. Loeb
is thirty-two years of age and well
known in the community.
