GOOD AND HARD TIME.
I'VE had good time and a hard
time both. At Vive plantation we were
well sheltered and had pretty good food,
though the water was very bad. The
travelling was exceedingly rough. trying
and fatiguing. The vegetation was
loaded with ashes. which fell upon us at
the least touch. We were often exposed
to great dangers. but happily there was
not the slightest accident I am now

The trouble between father and daugh-

matter is scheduled TO come UP for argu-
ment before the appellate division, In
Brooklyn. on an appeal from a verdict
given In White Plains last December, in
which Mrs. Thompson was awarded

In June, 1869. Mosa Henderson Stebbins,
the mother of Mrs. Thompson, died with

Stebbins, in the panic OF 1872 needed

complaint. entered into an agreement
with her by which for her interest In
the farm he would pay her $4,000 and
$500 a year until the principal was paid.
lie promised similar payments to her
sister and brother, then children. She
was 10 years old at the time.
A partition suit was brought and the
farm sold to Stebbins for 1890. Title
was taken I'm his name and he borrowed
$4,000 on the property. Mrs. Thompson
asserts that, while her father promised
70 settle up. he has failed to do so.
TELL-TALE BOOK.
On thetrial a book was produced, writ

he made reference to his financial trans
actions with his daughter. In this VOL
ume he writes:

Then he goes on TO say that he has
changed his mind and does not consider
promises made by parents to children
binding upon the parents. 1t was also
brought out upon the trial that Stebbins
turned his boy away from home at 13
years OF age TO make his own living and
acquire his education. This he did very
creditably to himself, becoming banker
and afterward lawyer.
The property In dispute is said to be
worth 100000.

AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE.

No accidents occurred on the trip up
the mountain, although the explorers
were exposed to many hardships and
dangers. In an interview with the cor
respondent of The Associated Press, Mr..
Kennan said:
II must preface all have to say by
paying the highest possible tribute TO
Professor Heilprin. He is modest and
brave, superb mountaineer. and the
nerviest and pluckiest man ever knew.
Professor Heilprins first ascent OF Mont
Pelee last Saturday with Mr.. Leadbetter
was most awful experience. yet he
started a second time undaunted.
Five OF US started for tho crater OF
the volcano last Sunday and three Of US
reached our objective. We crossed Lake
Palmiste, which Is now dry and full OF
boulders and huge. ragged rocks OF
trachyte, rhyolite and escite. We then
climbed on up and reached the edge of the
crater. We found II to be a huge chasm
or crevasse. with perpendicular walls.
We could not see down into the crater
more than $50 feet. II was like looking
into a white hot furnace. The chasm
opens out toward ST. Pierre. but the enor-
in that direction. There were hundreds
thought 10 be a cone OF cinders in the
pile of gigantic rocks piled up one upon
another.
There were crusts OF sulphur every

LIGHT WHEAT RECEIPTS
Wet Weather Has Delayed Moves

Not for many years has the movement

the new crop movement By this time in
August is pretty we'll under way, and with
the tail end of the old crop still COM
ing, receipts here should be running an
average of about 275 cars q day. But
this year there is no old crop wheat left,
and continued rainy weather has delayed
the movement of the new. Instead of 275
cars a day Minneapolis has received on
the average 148 cars. Since Aug. Min
neapolis has received 1861 cars Of wheat
compared with 4,917 cars from Aug. 1-22
last year.

Second Attack on New Ulm.
The second attack on New Ulm was
made about noon of Saturday, Aug. %.
The city had been barricaded, that is, two
blocks Of Minnesota street had been
fenced in by a stockade. Captain (now
Judge Chas. e. Flandrau was elected to
command the forces, and the men were
marched out to meet the foe.
The advance of the Indian forces against
New Ulm is described as having been a
very fine spectacle. The hundreds Of
painted savages on horseback came over
the hill in solid body, and when within a
mile or so Of the town, began to spread
out like a fan, increasing their speed as
they approached until within about half
a mile, when they covered the entire front
of the town. Then they set up their war
cry and charged the defense. The yell
unsettled the men somewhat and they fell
back, giving the Indians shelter in the
outlying houses. The men soon rallied,
however, and poured shot into the Indians
from under cover Of houses and barns.
An old windmill afforded a splendid
shelter for a large number of men, who
held it all through the afternoon, and
when night was settling over the city they
set the windmill on fire and retreated to
the barricade. The fight was courageous
throughout the day. The defense had
