M1DD1Es' GOOD RECORD.
Examinations Please Naval Academy
officials,

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, February THE OFF,
Gals of the Naval Academy are very much
gratified at the splendid work done by the
midshipmen in the recent seni-annual ex-
aminations.
The academic board of the academy, the
governing body of the scholastic work, met
and finally passed upon the examination
papers. 1t was found that the proportion of
failures is smaller than ever before. In
Guiding the fifty first-class men who quail
fed for graduation on Monday next $50
midshipmen took the examinations, and the
number of failures in which the board has
recommended that action be taken by the
Navy Department is about thirty, a per-
centage of 4. The board prepared the list of
deficiencies and forwarded it to the Navy
Department.
All of the first class, with a single ex-
ception went through all right. The one
exception was a midshipman who was de-
ficient in one branch. and he has been
warned of the fact. The second class at
tanned the most creditable record, the
board found that only one of it's members
Is far deficient as to be recommended
to be dropped back into the third class.
Last year there were twenty-s!x men of
seven designations resulted. The thirty
failures this year are said to be distributed
equally among the third and fourth classes.
Last year twenty-three members of ne
fourth and eighteen others resigned The
failure of a fourth-class man means that
his resignation Will be forthcoming, and
last year tv'> ltysfive of this class failed and
resigned.
Two midshipmen have resigned and their
designations have been accepted by the
Navy Department. They are Harry w.
Renner of Jersey City, N. ]. and Elroy L.
Fanderkloot of Wilmette ILL.,, both mem
bers of the fourth class
The first social function In connection
with graduation at the Naval Academy
was held last night when the naval t. ),

present. There was large attendance, in

STATE TO INVESTIGATE.
West Virginia Legislature to Probe
Mine Disasters.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, February T.
The legislature will Investigate the several
recent mining disasters in this state, reso-
lutions 20 that effect having been passed
yesterday by both houses Gov. Dawson
in a special message called attention to last
weeks disaster in the Stuart mine, inwhich
it is estimated that eighty or more men
lost their lives. and urged legislative inves-
tigation in order not only to locate the
blame. but also that needed legislation
might be enacted.
By yesterdays action a joint committee
of the two houses of the legislature will
take charge of the inquiry which it is pur-
posed to make very thorough. No fewer
than 100 lives have been lost in mine ex-
plosons and accidents in West Virginia
since the LIST of January, and the deaths in
mines and mining, with power to appoint
gone well into the hundreds.
There was good deal of opposition to
the investigation resolution in the Senate
The fight which was begun Tuesday by
Senators Johnson and Miller was renewed
yesterday, and Senator Johnson offered a
substitute, proposing to leave the matter
to the senate and house committees on
mines and mining, with power to appoint
a subcommittee If found desirable This
substitute seemed to have good deal of
strength, but just at the proper psychologist
cal moment Mr.. Nugent came from the
house to announce the adoption by that
body of a resolution providing for a real
investigation. and the entire senate Nstam-
peded to it.
Senator johnson sought to tack on an
amendment that would have delayed the
matter by sending it back to the house, but
the attempt failed. and the resolution was
adopted as it came from the house.
Under its provisions Senators Garland
and Kidd were appointed from the senate
and Messrs Strickiing, Duty and Mitchell
from the house as the investigation com

Torrentia1 Outbreaks.

No doubt the long-continued quiescence Of
the Kahuku volcano had caused the seams

so]1dly closed. Conclusive efforts ensued

Record-Breaking Disturbance.


Record Breaking Disturbance.
At no very remote period, perhaps thou
sand years ago. Mohokea was the seat OF
one Of the most tremendous eruptions ever
recorded. 1t suddenly exploded high aloft
q mass Of volcanic ashes which covered
the country for fifteen miles east and west
with fine yellow ashes or cinders to an
average depth of ten feet and which must
have extended far over the adjacent ocean.
These ashes constitute the immensely fer
tile soil of large part Of the Ka-u dis
trict, for which only sufficient moisture ID
lacking. few small lava flows from
slopes.
At a somewhat later date, apparently, an
immense lava stream gushed out of MO-
hokea and ran into the sea at Punahue. Al
together 1t was mighty volcano. But
Kahuku subsequently resumed the erup-
tive business for that part of the island. A
large area Of the southwest side Of Kahuku
evidently broke of and fell into the sea,
leaving long precipice several hundred
feet high extending to the south point Of
the island. This precipfce is capped with
the yellow stratum of ashes. A broad dis
trict west Of the precipice has in very re-
cent times been apparently reclaimed from
the sea and covered and built up by long
succession of lava streams issuing from
near Keokeo hill, in the vicinity of the
present eruption.
That eruptive activity Of the Kahuku
volcano appears to have been suspended
for long period. centuries probably, prior
to the terrific eruption of 1885, At any rate,
soil had formed upon the aforementioned
lava flows, which were mainly formed of
clinker lava, easily dsintegrating. There
were in 1868 some native plantations, and
a large cattle ranch, occupied by white
family named Brown. Their home was
suddenly oblterated by the lava. from
whose inroad they had hastily escaped. l

DASH FOR LIBERTY
OF SHORT DURATION
Prisoner Locked In Jail Makes
QuiSk Escape and Is
Quickly Recaptured.

Officers Mccoy and Wilmoth were
telephoned to come TO Naco Road
about IL o'clock last night and take
care OF a couple of fellows who were
raising rough house. They did SO
and took the offenders to town where
one of them gave bond and the other
was locked up in the branch county
Jail.
In about twenty minutes the off
GERS were notified that their prisoner
had escaped through the roof, he hav-
ing been placed upstairs where there
are no cells. In jumping out the pris-
oner had failed to leap the required
distance TO land in safety, and played
havoc with bunch of wires half way
down the twenty feet to the bottom
He got up running and struck out for
home-and that is where he made his
mistake FOR it is what the officers had
calculated he would do and when he
got there they were waiting to take
him back.
The hole in the roof where Frank
Bell got through has never been re-
paired and the new inmate was not
long in finding this out. He did not
prove as lucky or as good jumper as,
Bell as the latter has never been re-
captured and in making his escape
cleared the distance between him and
liberty without a mishap.

SUES TO RECOVER
| FROM WELLS-FARGO
Christmas Present Valued at
$50 Never Delivered-Goes
to Higher Court.

/ a case that has attracted consider
able attention among the local attor-
neys has come I'D in Judge Burdick's
court Last Christmas Mrs. NJ. K.
Hurst OF rnis city. sent to a friend in
New York a box containing some
fancy work. one $40 gold piece, one SIS
gold piece and one silver dollar. The
package has never been delivered and
Mrs. Hurst is suing to recover the
value, which is placed at $40. from the
WellFargo Express Company.
The company claims that it was en-
titled to be told that money was to be
transported in order that it might
have taken the usual precautions. 1t
rendered to Mrs. Hurst the value of
the fancy work, which she refused.
Another point that arises is whether
Mrs. Hurst is entitled to bring suit as
the property was given as a present to
another party and that when she de-
livered il to the messenger, that is the
company, her ownership ceased, and
the suit for recovery must originate
with the party to whom the goods
were cOuutersigned
Judge Burdick rendered a decision
in favor OF Mrs. Hurst The attorneys
for the company were unable to appeal
as the amount involved was only $40,
but they win take it to a higher court
on writ Of review. Some nice points
are involved in the case, and the de-
cision of the higher court will be
awaited with much interest.

Second Ball For Better Fire
Protection Wednesday
Night at the Rink.

The nTemen are feeling GOOD over
the prospects of large attendance at
the ball which they are to give the
evening OF Wednesday, November 81.
The affair will be given in the new
skating rink. Every thing that the
flremen could think of that would at
tend to make the event an ENJOYABLE
one to the participants has been done.
and judging by their efforts In the
past, nothing that would add to the
comforts of the guests will be missing.
The giving OF these balls by the
hremen is not for the pleasure that
they will get out of it, but is done with
the unselfish purpose OF affording the
CITY better protection from the raw
ages of fire, and at the same time let
those who assist get a return for their
money in the way of enjoyment.
This will be the second of the series
of monthly balls that have been
planned by the firemen, who viii use
the funds thus raised for the erection
of water tanks in the parts of the city
where they are needed to give an
ample water supply and sufficient
pressure.
The bali should receive the hearty
support of the citizens of Bisbee, and
