Mauna Loa and was attended by long series of earthquake shocks. On the Ed of April a terrific earthquake took place and it did more or less damage in every part of Hawaii. At Kapapala, in the district of Kau, 1t caused the great mud flow" when mass of marshy clay was detached from the bluff at the head of the valley and in few minutes swept down for dis tance of three miles, in stream about half a mile wide and thirty feet deep in the middle. It moved so swiftly that it overlook and buried thirty-one hu- man beings and over one hundred horses, cattle and goats. Pele at this eruption called another element besides fire to aid her in the work of destruc- ton. A tremendous wave, forty or fifty feet high, rolled in upon the coast of Kau, sweeping away villages and de- stroying cocoanut groves. Over eighty persons perished in a few minutes. Five days after this, the lava burst out on the southwest slope of Mauna Loa, at a point $500 feet above the sea. The lava spouted up in great fountains, several hundred feet high, and flowed to the sea, distance of ten miles, in two hours. This eruption, which lasted five days, destroyed several houses and several hundred head of cattle, and ov -

 Mauna Loa, the great fire mountain of Hawaii, is almost 14,000 feet high. The present eruption has broken out 10000 feet above sea level and about the same place as issued the flow of 1880. That flow lasted from the 5th of Noyem- Der, 1880, till the 10th of August, 1881, a period of nine months The stream began at a point of 11,ooo feet above the level of the sea, and stopped three-quarters of mile above Hilo, the pretty seaport town of Hawaii. Those months of uncertainty and apprehen- sion were very hard on the property owners and citizens in and about Hilo. Work was laid aside and people camped along the stream to watch it's course and be able to give warning if the dan ger became imminent. And now the lit- tie town is threatened again.

 A few rods in front of the hotel, we stood on the brink of great crater al most eight miles in circumference; the floor of rough, lead-colored lava somt 600 feet below. We began the descent late ill the afternoon, attired in short skirts and wearing very thick shoes. At the foot of the hill we found our selves in a great bowl, the sides of cliffs, the bottom of frozen waves of lava. More than mile over the rough sea, was the lake we were to visit. The lake lay 200 feet below the surface, so from where we stood we saw little of the fire. We saw the reflection on the clouds, and white vapor issuing from in- nHmerable cracks all about Us. The air was cold the warmth we received now and then when crossing red-rimmed cracks was comfortable. As we drew nearer we saw blue and white smoke rising; the air was heavy with sulphur fumes. The heat beneath our feet be, came greater; we walked delieately, not to break through. At last we were in sound of something boiling. Suddenly we saw il. We were very near the edge of cliff that led straight down to- Hell! A burning lake just like the one my childish mind had pictured after a sermon on fire and birthstone. As little girl, I was greatly terrified by the image; now, when the frightful reality was before me, I was scared beyond control. I begged my companions not to hesitate, to leave at once, to run from the awful sight and sound. But they were made of tougher fiber, and treat ed, me with scorn and ridieule. Gradual Iy, I dared breathe, dared look at the lake of fire, hideous, scarlet, half a mile across; not a peaceful lake, but most turbulent one. Fiery geysers were thrown into the air, and fell back into the boiling, seething mass. When the cakes of lava cooled, they foated about and between them one could see streaks of red looking like the great coils of some monstrous, fiery serpent. was glad when we went away from the place.
 One would suppose the news of volcanic activity would carry eonsterna- ton to the hearts of the inhabitants of Hawaii. On the contrary I think there is little fear expressed or felt; but much eagerness to see this great wonder, this splendid display of the long-quiescent Pele. Steamers to Hawaii from the other islands are crowded, and as many as can are hastening to view the light that shines from the top of the lately dark mountain and brilliantly illum- ines the country for 40 miles around.

 I visited Kilauea in 1892, shortly be- fore it began it's last long drowse. The 30-mile drive from Hilo, where pas sengers en route to the volcano usual ly land, is a beautiful one, the road go- ing through forests where are fern trees, ieie vines, many tropical para sites, and the lehna tree, its flowers like tufts of crimson silk. When l reached the Volcano house, the tavern near the crater, I was surprised and pleased to find such a comfortable rest ing place, but was disappointed that no mountain of fire was in sight. To the right lowered Mauna Loa, quiet and ghostly. All about us was the greenest of vegetation, but in the greenness, here and there, we saw a puff of white vapor. This vapor issued from cracks in the earth, openings apparently bottom1ess; we were told that animals that had strayed from the paths had never again been heard of, and we were warned to keep to the beaten track in our wanderings. We began to feel the awe we had anticipated. All about the house were cracks pouring out hot steam. How could one feel safe there? Who knew but that the earth beneath the building would open?

The people of Hilo were greatly alarmed when the stream came within eight miles of their their town, but at that point 1t ceased to advance and the little town again was saved. In 1840, there was a great eruption, V hen the finest print could be read by its light at midnight at places twenty miles distant. A few smaIIham- lets were destroyed by the flow, much of which was underground, but no lives were lost. In 1887, great disturbance of the sea was observed at all the is lands.

Rule on Cornelius Smith.

Ex-Judge Jessup yesterday secured
from Judge Edwards a rule on Attor-
ney Cornelius Smith to compel him to
show cause why the case of Patrick
Burke against the Delaware and Hud-
son company in which Mr.. Smith rep
resents the plaintiff, should not be
stricken from the trial list.
The case was non-suited in 1894 at
the cost of the plaintiff. Without Sc
curing permission of court MIR. Smith,
it is claimed, had it discontinued. Then
without paying the costs the case was
renewed. The defendant demands that
its bill of costs in the original case
amounting to Sill be paid before th1
case can again be allowed to remain
on the trial list

Evidence is being taken by Judge
Edwards in the equity suit of George
w. Finn against +. =. Carter and 9TH
ers, in which the plaintiff seeks to re-
strain the defendants from narrowing
the Lackawanna river at Capouse
The plaintiff bought a tract of land
on the west side of the river at that
point and cut it up into building lots
The course of the stream bends away
from this plot at its southern extrem-
ity and the current in consequence
brings the shore along the Finn tract,
condition Of affairs extremely unde-
sirable because of the fact that the
plot is likely to be gradually washed
away.
A long retaining wall on the oppo-
site side of the stream, which the de-
| PENDANTS have probably erected and
which they propose to complete is re-
| sponsible in a great measure, the plain
| tiff says, for his building tract being
made a buffer for the current, and he
| is in court endeavoring to have the
wall done away with, alleging that it
is built on the bed of the river.
The defendants admit they have a
wall there but claim they have right
| 10 put IL tnere, HrSl, DeCauSe IL Is nOL
| on the bed of the river, but on their
own titled land, and second, because
| the foundation of the wall has been
| there for over twenty-one years and
whatever it covers or encloses 10 theirs
| by squatter rights.
They strongly insist though that the
wall is not in the river bed. 1t was
built years ago at the edge OF their
land to prevent the backing up of wa
ter in time of freshets. Water courses
against the wall they admit, but allege
that this is due to the fact that the
plaintiff on the opposite side of the
river built an embankment that mar
rowed the channel and causes the water
| to crowd over on their land and conse-
quently against their wall.
A large raft of testimony was pro-
duced to establish the original lines
of the river. The case was on at ad-
journment and will be resumed this
morning.
| J. w. Carpenter represents the plain
tiff, and S. Is. Price and J. e. Burr the
defendants.
| The eX-mayors who are wanted as
witnesses in the Arthur avenue case
could not be secured yesterday and
the matter went over until today.

burg. then spoke on THE Word of
God"
THE Amounting at Bethany" was the
subject of Mr.. j. E. Jaderquist, of
Syracuse, n. Y. He spoke of Mary's
gift of precious ointment as a gift of
love, not of charity: also, a gift of
faith, for Mary had learned while sit
ting at the feet OF Jesus that Jesus was
to die and be buried and against the
day of His burying" she kept the gift.
The gift was accepted by Jesus, but
brought forth the opposition of the ad-
versary, represented by Judas Iscariot
In the afternoon, after a testimony
meeting, Mrs F. II. Senft spoke on the
text, THE name of the Lord is a strong
tower, the righteous runneth into it and

that God has left to us a sure refuge,
the name of the Lord. In that name
there is power to overcome every
enemy.
