the Volcano and everyone who had
anything to do with the trip taken by
Mique Fisher and his baseball club,
could be heard at the Inter-Island
wharf when the Kinau arrived yester-
day morning. All the members of the
team were enthusiastic to the extreme
over the sights that they had seen and
the treatment that they had received.
The trip back from Hilo on the XII
nau, was hardly as smooth as that GO
ing up on the Claudine, but the rough
weather came in the first of the voy-
age, off the Hamakua coast, and af-

The party of ball players left Hilo
for the Volcano House on Monday
morning, taking the o'clock train on
the Hilo Railroad, and transferring TO
two busses at Glenwood. The two big
rigs. from the Volcano stables, made
quick trip to the crater driving
through beautiful scenery and, as they
Travelled along, the members of the
party walked or ran alongside picking
the wild raspberries and eating them
as they went. The slopes of Mauna
Loa, rising majesticaIIy, were visible
at all times and formed a sight which
all will remember for years.
On reaching the Volcano House all
was ready for the party. Mrs. Nc
Lean, formerly of this city. had made
the arrangements needed for entertain
ment and Demosthenes Lycurgus was
on hand to greet the various members.
1t was only a few minutes before lunch
was ready and the table, loaded down

nuded by the hungry travellers, who
made a special raid on the Volcano
celery, which they said was far better
than any they had ever seen on the
Coast. Again and again the celery
bowls had to be replenished. to satisfy
the demands of the ball players.
During the dinner, after short talk
with Managers Fisher and Captain Dew
ereaux, Demosthenes. as the members
of the party soon came to call him,
told Of the plans which had been made.
The first day was to take in two ex-
cursions. The earlier one was started
shortly after lunch, when. under the
guidance of George Lancaster. a trip
was made to the extinct crater of XII
laueaiki. In the meantime the men,
bers of the party had visited the sui
phur banks and each returned with
yellow specimens of the mineral to take
back as souvenirs.
The sight at the extinct crater was
far more interesting than had been

Court Takes Charge Of PhiIander Fitz.

A special from Indianapolis says:
Geo. F. Null, local attorney, has
been appointed receiver for Philander
H. Fitzgerald's 1904 Georgia Colony
Company" upon the petition of sew.
eral stockholders in the enterprise,
who charged that Fitzgerald had not
kept good faith with them. Fitzgerald
was recently indicted by the federal
grand jury on charge of using the
United States mail to defraud in con-
nection with the promotion Of this
colony scheme.
Tie colony is located in Georgia,
and is known as st. George, and coni-
prises 5000 acres of land.
The petition for receiver told in
detail of Fitzgerald's plan to form a
colony In Georgia, and to give valua.
BILE pieces of property to all his stock.
holders, the size and quality of the
land depending upon amount Of stock
subscribed. In this way, the plaintiffs
say, the 100000 came to Fitzgerald,
and that only $4,000 was spent in inl.
proving the property. The petitioners
declare that the remainder of the
money Fitzgerald has in his posses
sion, and that he is guilty Of fraud
and Misrepresentation. Besides asking
for receiver and judgment against
Fitzgerald, the plaintiffs ask that Fitz.
gerald be restrained from leaving the
state until the case is settled.

VICTIMS ARE CREMATED
One Train Was Demolished by Pow.
der Explosion; the Other Wreck
ed and Destroyed by Fire
in a Collision.

Big -Four accommodation train, No.
3, which left Terre Haute, Ind, at
$3.50 O'clock Saturday night, was de-
strcyed by fire by the explosion Of a
car of powder at the siding of San
ford, twenty minutes later. Fifteen
persons were killed outright and the
death list probably. will reach twen-
ty, with thirty or thirtyfve injured.
The engine, two coaches and baggage
car of the passenger train were de-
mclished.
Two ether bodies were taken from
the wreckagt have lot been identified.
The first irtimation people had OF
the disaster was & shock, which was
felt ut Terre Haute, and as far as
Brazil and rs far south as Sullivan.
The wires were blown down and it
was scme tine before the Big Four
officials in Terre Haute learned OF the
explosion Relief trains were ordered
from Terre Halte and Paris, ILL.,, and
the dead and injured were taken
from the wreck to both cities.
The work of the rescuing parties
was impe,1ed by the almost Total 'le'
struction of the train.
A later dispatch says: twenty-five
charred and mutilated bodies have
been taken from the smoldering ruins
Of the passenger train Nc. 8 on the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and ST..
Louis Q:ig Fcur), which was destroy
ed by the explosion Of carload OF
powder as it passed a freight train at
Sanford, nine miles west Of here, last
night. The number Of Injured will
reach at least thirty-fve.
The entire train was blown from
the track, the coaches demolished and
the engine hurled 50 feet. The pas.
sengers either were blown to- pieces,
cremated or rescued in more or less
injured condition.
The full extent Of the disaster was
revealed at daylight Sunday morning,
but the death list will not be COM
plete until workmea have finished re-
moving the debris.
According to tho trainmen Of tie
freight, the powder was exploded by
the conclusion made by the passen.
ger train, which was slowing down
for the station at Sandforli Another
theory is that gas escaping from an
oil pipe line nearby entered the pow.
der car and spark from the pass
ing engine ignited the gas.

Uncle Sam Takes instant Measures
for Relief of Quake and Fire Suf-
ferers in Island Of Jamaica.

Official news of the disaster at
Kingston, jamaica. reached Washing
ton slowly Wednesday. The first re-
port did not come to hand until we'll
along in the afternoon, when a dis
Patch was received at the state de-
rartment, dated: Jamaica, S:Sl p. m,
January &c." and signed American
Consul stating that Kingston had
been destroyed and hundreds of lives
lost and that food was badly wanted.
The signature to this dispatch was
misleading, for the consul is absent on
leave from his post. It was assumed
at the department that the vice and
deputy consul, William II. Orrett, at
Kingston, had sent the dispatch. A
reference in the cablegram to the
fireproof safe Is understood to convey
assurance of the safety Of the con-
sular records and papers.
However, the dispatch was regarded
as warranting the taking Of instant
measures of relief. Indeed, the navy
department. had been in advance in
this matter, for through Captain Beeh-
Ter, the officer in charge Of the naval
station at Key West, wireless COM
munication was early established be-
..seen the navy department and Ad-'
lniral Evans, commanding the Atlantic
feet at Guantanamo, Cuba, and when
Secretary Root later indicated the de-

structions and had started on tor

sell in the American feet, for Kings.
ton, ordering two battleships to fol-
low as soon as they could.
The appeal for food supplies direct
ed attention to the fact that under
ordinary conditions none of the gov.
ernment supplies could be used for
outside relief save oy special authority
of congress-.
That fact, however, did not pre-
vent Secretary Metcalf from ordering
two supply ships with full cargoes Of
food at once to Jamaica, leaving Tor
later decision the question as to how
the supplies are to be given to
the needy inhabitants.
