VICTORIA, B. c., Aug 2.-The steam
er Empress of India, just arrived from
Japan; brings additional details of the
disastrous volcanic eruption on Great
Sangir Island.
With out any warning signal. with
out any sign whatever of impending
disturbance, the Gunong Aroo volcano
blazed forth OH June Z. and within
twenty-four hours the whole of the
prosperous surrounding country was
devastated.
The loss of life is something fright
full, but no accurate estimate of it can
yet be made. SOME place it as high
as 10000.
Property worth millions upon mil
lions is destroyed forever. For many
years the inhabitants of Sangir Is
land, living within the shadow of a
dormant crater, had titled the soil and
prospered, their,chief industry being
the growing of nutmegs, cocoanuts
and grapes, the product being regu-
larly shipped abroad.

in the stern and had lighted dyna-
mite cartridge, which he was about to

Hughes had pointed out to him. PEN
nypacker thought the fuse of the car
fridge had gone out and was about to
relight it, when suddenly it exploded.

Capt. Elias Hatfield Is Now a Progressive
Citizen.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va. Aug. g.
Capt. Elias Hatfield, the leader of the
West Virginia Hatfields in their vendet
ia with the Kentucky McCoys several
years ago, was delegate to the recent
Democratic State Convention. He is
a mild looking, quiet, courteous man,
but in the lines of his face are written
determination and fearlessness. His
modesty was shown when the delegates
from the southwestern part of the State
where he is known as square-dealing
and clever fellow, tried to make him
sergeant-at-arms of the Convention,
and he declined.
y Capt. Hatfield said that everything
was quiet in his part of the State, and
that with the introduction of railroads
and the opening of coal and iron mines
the interests of the section are rapidly
growing. The Captain is himself a
large owner of valuable mineral and
timber lands.

A Car That. Writes.

After twenty years OF patient labor
and study, Mr.. P. H. Dudley has in
vented car that writes. It records,
slowly orrapidly, the condition of the
roadbed over which it travels. A
curious electric machine controls a
number OF small glass tubes finished
to q point, that are filled with ink.
These tubes trace on paper, specially
made, alrthe variations Of the track;
where there is difference Of the six
teenth OF an inch, the difference is re-
corded. The sheets OF paper, which
are eight feet long pass over on roll
lers that are connected with the wheels
OF the car, and keep the record OF each
mile of the road traversed. Every
curve, as we'll as the alignment and
variation Of the height OF the rails, is
recorded; each defect is clearly marked,
and it is then an easy, matter to To-
cate and repair them. This car is al
SO the home OF Mr.. Dudley, who owns
it. The car is known as the Dudley
Dynograph Carp opular Electric
Monthly.
