He is, I am told, a teacher of modern
langue ages, who was employed at ono
time as private instructor by some stu
dents at the Catholic University, but
was never connected otherwise with the
university. or connected at all with the
Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions, or
so far as / know, with any Catholic in
stitution or organization whatever.
He has been. / hear. a very earnest
Republican and has taken a lively in

talked over political plans and prospects
with Senator Bard or any other polftie

BeLching Forth Flames
NiCaraquan Mountain Bursts Into Tremendous
FUry-Great Destruction of Property and
Loss of Life Probable.

Momtombo is thirty miles in the in
terror from Corinto, and is a shapely,
conicaI peak 1000 feet high, somewhat
resembling the famous Fujiyama Of
Japan.
1t is higher than any of the other
mountains in the chain that runs from
Lake Managua northward, and on
clear day It's outlines form an attrac-
tive picture for many miles.
For the past year haZy line Of
smoke has been issuing from the peak,
a sign that the slumber of the giant
might terminate. Planters, however.
were reluctant to abandon their rich
ffncas, and the poems remained in the
little pueb1os that nestled about the
base of the mountain.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.-After
being quiet for fifteen years the great
volcano of Momtombo, on the north
west shore of Lake Managua, in Mica
ragua. suddenly burst into tremendous
fury at $50 o'clock on the afternoon
OF January 16
The first news Of the event came yess
terday by the Pacific Mail steamer City
of Sydney She was in the Port of
Corfnto, Nicaragua, at the time of the
eruption, and until o'clock that night.
From her decks the volcano and its
appalling display of pent-up fire and
smoke were plainly visible.
It is believed there has been great de-
struction of property and the loss OF
many lives among the natives around
the base of the volcano.

Charges Against Father.
In answer the respondent, Mrs. Mar

was read to the court by her attorney.
w. Gwynne Gardiner that she was re-
tanning the child unlawfully. Mahoney,
she averred, had maitreated her daugh-
ter, who had left him four times be-
cause of cruelty; that he had abused
and scandalized her, and that her death
was the result of abuse she recei'-ed
from her husband in November.
The first witness called was Deputy
Coroner Glazebrook, who examined the
body of Mrs. Mahoney at Garfield Hos
pitaI. on December 3D. DR.. GIazebrook
testiied that he first saw the body
about six hours after death. 1t was In
a horrible condition due to putrefaetion.

The testimony of Mrs Udell. the
mother OF the dead woman, was lengthy
and rambling. Many irrelevant state
0uarreis of the Parents.
The main points she testified to were
that her daughter and her son-in-law
had many quarrels In Buffalo, that they
lived apart at different times; that Ma
honey beat his wife and choked her, and
that she finally left him to avoid such
treatment. She also testified that Ma

HOLDING UP CONTRACTORS

These are busy days in the office of
Superintendent Stidham of the Street
Clearing Department. Between the snow
which must be cleared from sidewalks
and CUTTERS and the ordinary routine
of street cleaning, the inspectors are
working overtime.
Complaints have been numerous since
the snowfall, and Mr.. Stidham's reports
reveal some interesting features of the
street cleaning work
Piles of Dirt on Avenue.
John F. O'Neil objects to the piles
of dirt left by the, street sweeping con-
tractor on Pennsylvania Avenue, be-
tween Eleventh and T:llrteenth Streets,
Mr.. stidham says he has found a num-
Der of blocks where the machine con-
tractor has neglected to clean up the
piles made by the broom men and these
piles have frozen. He has cut off these
blocks from the credit given The CON-
tractor.
Mrs. Mary E. Miller, of 1926 Tenth
street northwest, complained recently
of a pile of dirt left in front Of her home
by the gas company after digging up
the street to stTaighten service pipe.
SUPERINTENDENT Stidhan1 has reported
the dirt removed and that 1t Should have
been removed by the Washington Gas
Light Company.
None of His Troubles.
J. c. MulfoFd, of Is Thomas street,
has complained Of the muddy condition
of the crosswalk at North Capitol and
Thomas streets after a thaw, but the
Street Cleaning Department contends
that is none of It's troubles. The streets
arc both unpaved-
Superintendent S;tidham thinks the
complaints which have poured in con-
corning the condition of lexington
place, between Florida avenue and
| Quincy street. are justified.
Complaints were also made that North
Capitol street, from NJ street to Trux-
! tun circle. and New York avenue from
FIST street west to First street east,
] are in a dirty condition.
On Daily Schedule.
These streets are on the daily schedule,
but the lack of care given them Is
attributed by Mr.. Stidham to the same
cause as on lexington Place.
H. z. Biau also complained Of the
muddy condition of \ Street. between
| North Capitol and the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad tracks.
