from Pocahontas says the features of
interest yesterday in the strike situa-
ton were the continued desertion of
strikers from the ranks of the union,
and the increase of forces at the works
on Elkhorn over Wednesday. and the
large increase of coal, most especially
at the Southwest mines, there. The
military rigor has relaxed somewhat,
and West Virginia miners come and go
as they please. There is no excitement
in Pocohontas. The streets are remark

Storms and Floods.

DENVER, Col, May 31.-The storms
in Colorado yesterday were the worst
known for years. The entire country
has been soaked with heavy rain for
nearly Sc hours. 1t promises to con-
tinue all night and is accompanied with
high winds. There is four feet of snow
at the mining camps in the mountains.
Water is so deep in the streets OF
Holyoke that row boat has made
trips up and down the streets, and many
streams are swollen. The storm means
of millions to the farmers, coming at a
most opportune time.

JUNE FoRECAsTs.-An equinox OF
Mercury is central on June 3rd, and
will tend to prolong cloudiness and
storms through much of the time
up to storm period commenc-
ing about the 5th. The Venus
equinox is central on the 18th,
with Jupiter bearing directly from
May 18th, hence we may look for dan
gerous phenomena from about 9th to
9th, and the reactionary storms from
about 18th to 18th are apt to be many
and heavy. Local waterspouts and
cloudburst, in the nature of things, are
to be apprehended. Hail, with intense
electrical activity, and sudden changes
to very cool, are things to be expected.
Watch for tornado and cyclonic devel-
opments. Such is the case this month.
From 10th to Goth expect many storms,
much rain in many places, with vivid
lightning, hail and wind. New moon
on 22d will prolong storm conditions
into 22d and 23rd. Very cool for the
season after storms have passed away.
Frost possible in extreme north. June
ends growing very warm, with storms
in full progress from west to east.

fetal advices received today bear out
the main statements of the sinking OF
the steamer Colima contained in pre-
vious dispatches with the exception
that the steamer was lost on the night
of the Goth instant, thirty miles south
east OF Manzanillo and ten to fifteen
miles off shore at Boca de Apiza, by
striking a coral reef and STAYING in her
bow. The ship filled and sank with
the loss of life as previously reported.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 3l.-A special
dispatch from the City of Mexico, con-
corning the awful tidings of the Colima's
fate says the Substance of dispatches
received up to this time is as follows :

Zinc Mirage mn the hudson.

MOUNT HOPE, May 31.-The early
risers OF this village saw remarkable
mirage yesterday. 1t showed in the
clouds strip of the New York bank Of
the Hudson river nearly twenty miles
long. The city of Yonkers was so
plainly depicted that some of the re
sdences were recognizable. There
was the image of tugs and ferryboats
plying the river, and of big chimneys
pouring out smoke. The most wonder
full part of the spectacle was the arrival
of New York Central train at Yon-
kers. The train appeared to break into
the mirage from the south, to plough
its way through as if running on solid
foundation, and then completely disap.
pear at the northern end of the sky.
The mirage lasted about thirty minutes
and was seen by a great many people.

costs of the litigation over the will of
the late Marquise de Plesis-Beliere,
who bequeathed her property to his
holiness, excluding her next of kin.
The court refused to stay judgment.
The court dismissed the case on the
ground that the Pope was q sovereign
and was therefore unable to own an
estate or administer will in France.

MANAssAs.-During recent trip to
Manassas we had pleasant drive over
Robert Portner's splendid estate with
Hon. E. E. Meredith, behind the lat
ter's spirited young mare. Mr.. Pcrtner
has one of the finest estates in Virginia,
which has been beautified and adorned
beyond comparison with anything in
this part of the State. Among other
adornments he has made number of
lakes including bathing pool upon
the edge of which is bath house. A
number ofswan gracefully move around
on another, and there is a much
larger lake upon which Mr.. P. will
shortly place beautiful little
steam yacht. Our drive also in
cluded short call upon Mr.. Wagner,
an old friend of Mr.. Meredith, where
we were kindly greeted and treated.
Mr.. Wagner has a large wine cellar,
and brother Meredith, who is con-
noisseur in such matters, pronounced
the quality very fine, which opinion
was subsequently ascertained to be en-
tirely correct. Mr.. w. has large vine
yard, and makes about 1000 gallons of
wine year. He went to California
in 1S49, but for many years has been
a resident of Prince William. Manas
sas has beautiful location, and, with
her splendid railroad facilities, should
soon become large and important

THE GROWING WHEAT crop in Thu

THE GROWING WHEAT crop in this
county hes been looking beautiful, and
promising an abundant yield; but in
the past few days, just as the grain is
beginning to head, we understand that
an enemy very much resembling the
fly, has assailed it in many neighbor-
hoods, which threatens to do it serious
injury. Some kind of an insect appears
to attack the stalk in the joints, COM
pletely destroying its vitality, and
causing it to drop and fall as if broken
by a severe storm. We hope it may
not prove as serious as some of our
farmer friends apprehend.-Leesburg
