Fuses Don't Pay.
From Lewiston Maine, Journal.

FROM LeWlsEOII SIHIIIcJ JUHIIIsr'
Fnsses about taxes don't always pay-a
,ru,h that Is as forcible on the Maine side of
the border as in Canada 1t is illustrated by
the experience of Canadian farmer whose
land, mostly in one parish, extended a little
within the bounds of another parish-St.
Ours-in which he was subjected to tax of
Al cents. He refused to pay, and a suit en-
sued. He won at first, but an appeal was
taken, with the result that after long fight
the case was decided against him, and he had
not only the tax to pay with interest, but
81 200 in costs and expenses besides, taking
his whole farm He probably will have one
satisfaction from the suit-he will not have
any more taxes to pay.

A dispatch from Panama, March "A, says
"A tremendous and destructive phenomenon
has occurred in the Department of Cauca, in
the Republic Of Columbia. The volcano Of
Sotara has been unusually active and the peo-
pie in that region were greatly excited by the
rumbling of the earth and the extraordinary
violence of the volcanic eruption. Suddenly.
while the volcano was belching forth fame
and smoke to great height, the earth began
to shake as if most violen, convultion were
in progress, and the mountain ridge called
Cruz Iona suddenly sank along its entire
extension. ire inhabitants in the vicinity,
who had chance to escape. fled IN terror
from the scene, and not too soon, as the sunk
en- ridge damned up three rivers and added
devastation 10 the terrors of earthquake and
volcano. Twelve persons are known to have
persisted and many cattle were destroyed. and
more destruction is feared, as the rivers
whose usual channels have been obstructed
are rising rapidly. Great suffering prevails
in Cauca. usually the most hourishiug de
partment Of Colombia, and many people are
starving, owing TO the failure of the crops,
and this new unexpected calamity has added
greatly 10 the general wretcheduess.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.
Gratifying Increase for, the First
Quarter of 1893.

CHATTANooGA, TENN, March BIT
quarterly statement of Southern industries
prepared by the Tradesman, OF Chattanooga,
Tenn, shows that for the first quarter OF 81
the new industries established exceed those
of The first quarter of 49, by 1875 While for
the first quarter of this year only eight de
yelopment companies have been ineorpo-
rated, during the same period and Tor last
wear u were formed. The quarter just ended
also shows 76 cotton aud wooden mills estab-
lished, So -four and grist mills, % canning
factories, 40 oil mills and the buildi z OF "
water-works plants.
That the extensive timber interests OF the
South are not only attracting attention, but
capital, is shown by the fact that 1875 new
wood working plants have been established
during the past quarter as against l22 IN 1877
and Ill in the first quarter of 1891. Tennes
see heads the list with 80 new industries in
this line to her credit; Georgia and North
Carolina are close rivals with "a and - re
spectively All of the Southern States, how
ever. are well represented in this development,
Mississippi with heing the smallest number.
Seventy six textile industries were estab-
lished in the quarter AS against y IN the hrst
quarter of %, and IS in the same period OF
~. and the very general character OF this
DEVELOPMENT is shown by the fact that only
three States, Arkansas, Kentucky and West
Virginia, are not represented IN this total
Alabama leads the list with y; North Caro-
lima. 10; Georgia, IS; South Carolina, $; Vir-
ginia, 5; Mississippi. 4; Tennessee and Texas
) each. and Florida and Louisiana | each
This quarter shows fifty-eight flour and
grist mills established, as against twenty nine
for the same quarter OF 1892. The increasing
demand for ton-seed oil and its products,
.ogether with the advance in price which has
taken place, accounts for the large number
of new oil mills organized during the quarter.
A total of forty is shown AS against ten IN
| 1892 and eight in the same quarter OF 1891,
over half of the total number being located
in Texas and the remainder scattered through
out the other cotton-growing States.
Twelve brick and tile plants are reported,
twenty-five cotton congresses. twenty one
electric light plants, twenty-five foundrles
and machine shops, seven ice factories, thir
ty two water works plants, with ninety three
other miscellaneous industries.
