Assistant Postmaster Shot.

WARREN, Mich, Nov. 26.-Clint z. Os-
borne, assistant postmaster and proprietor
of the general store in this village, was shot
dead early yesterday by one of a gang of
robbers that entered the Warren bank and
blew open the safe. The explosion aroused
Osborne, who telephoned to one of his
neighbors that he thought burglars were at
work in either the bank or postoffice. All
the telephones are connected at night and
it is thought the cracksmen heard the bell
on the bank telephone ringing and listened
to Osborne's conversation. Osborne then
started down the street and had gone but a
short distance when one of the robbers, act
ing as an outside guard, shot him in the
face with a charge of buckshot, killing him
instantly. Then, without securing anything
from the safe, the burglars fed. No trace
of them has since been discovered.

Ruin-The Volcano Still Active.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26-The volcano
Santa Maria was in violent eruption when
the Pacific mail steamer City of Panama
which arrived here to-day, left there nine
DAYS ago. While the steamer lay at Cham
perico the mountain far away was spout
ing ashes, smoke and pumice stone, the
flakes falling in showers all over the
country.
The city of Quezaltenango has been Wis
tied by ruin. Quezaltenango is located at
the base of Santa Maria on the eastern
slope. and no fears have heretofore been
entertained for the towns safety. All the
damage reported has been on the western
side, reaching from the mountains to the
seashore, thirty miles away. That the dam
age has extended across the mountain is
evidence Of the terrible activity of the vol
cano.
Refugees are making their way to the
seaside, travelling to Ocas or Champerico.
and from these ports proceeding south by
| steamer. From the officers of the City of
Panama 1t was learned that some of the
planters are of the opinion that the ashes
may be beneficial to the soil, and that the
damage to the ranches may be only tenn
| porary.
Volcanic matter, ii is said, Is often a
good fertilizer. and the rain of ashes may
be a blessing in disguise. Absolute ruin
stares many ranchers in the face and the
/ livelihood of thousands of natives for many
months TO come has been shut off by the
destructive work of the volcano. The work
of reha bilitating the farms will probably
! be in other hands than the present owners
| for so great has been the damage that the
majority of the planters may never recover
