and Thrown 40 or 80 Feet.
A most shocking accident occurred
at Orleans station a few miles south
east of this city last Thursday even
ing by which Mrs. f. L. Bolster lost
her life. Her home is near the rail-
road track and it is supposed she was
looking for her grandson, and for
some reason did not hear the APP
preaching east bound Pere Marquette
passenger train. She was struck and
thrown distance of 40 or 30 feet, a
leg and an arm being broken and in
ternal injuries sustained. She only
lived about an hour and remained in a
semi-conscious state, inquiring if the
boy was hurt and if the train struck
her, not seeming to fully understand
what the trouble was Further par.

respondent on another page.

down the side of the crater at the
summit and set free torrent of wa
ter from the lake lying within the
crater. This torrent destroyed the
original city of Guatemala, and an
earthquake in 1773 laid waste the lat
ter city. (The disastrous earthquake
from the effects of which the coun-
try is now suffering, was felt with
greatest severity at Quazaltenango,
northwest of the present city Of
Guatemala).
Aqua has long been extinct, and to-
day the great cone is completely COW
cred with vegetation. The volcano of
Fuego (Fire) rises little to the
westward of Aqua, and ever has a
cloud of steam above it. Twenty
eruptions, are marked against this
well-known Volcano of Fire. The
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1902-06-25

Spaniards said of old Guatemala,
standing as it did between Aqua and
Del Fuego: paradise on one hand,
and He'll on the other" Atitlan, an
other Guatemalan volcano, has been
subject to frequent and violent erup-
tions, and the Pacayas have often
been heard from.
Izalco, in San Salvador, is in a state
of constant activity. and is called by
sailors 'El Faro del Salvador'-The
Lighthouse of San Salvador. One re-
markable thing about Izalco, 5000
feet in height, is that it was formed
in recent times, the cone having risen
from near the base of the extinct
volcano of Santa Anna in 1869. The
volcano of San Miguel is the largest
active volcano in San Salvador, but
it has not been noted for the de-
structiveness of it's eruption.
In Costa RIGA is the volcano of
Orosi, which has often been in erup.
ton. The highest volcano in the lit.
tie state. is that of Irazu, or Cartogo,
from the summit of which both
oceans are visible. It's ravages have
been terrible, as is evidenced by the
miles of land in it's vicinity given
over to rocks, lava and scoriae.
With Nicaragua of course, we are
especially interested. Mr.. Henry NJ.
Windsor, who has made a very thor
ough study of the subject, says the
route of the Nicaragua canal is lined
with slumbering volcanoes. Two vol
canoes, Ometepec and Madeira exist
in Lake Nicaragua itself, on the is
land of Ometepec, but most of the
danger apprehended is from Mount
Conseguina, some distance away
from the canal route.
Mount Conseguina is the volcano
that gave birth to the fearful erup-
ton of 1853, one of the most wonder
full volcanic explosions known to his
tory, similar to the Vesuvian one
that destroyed Pompeii; in each case
the summit of mountain being
blown to pieces. Squier's account of
the Conseguina eruption reports:
Sand fell in Jamaica, Vera Cruz and
Santa Fe de Bogota, over an area of
1,500 miles in diameter. The noise
of the explosion was heard nearly
as far, and the superintendent of
Belize, 500 miles distant, mustered
his troops under the impression that
there was a naval action off the har.
