HENRY S. KNAPP, Proprietor. D. W. HUDSON. THE EARTHQUAKE IN JAVA. New York, August 31.-Later reports from Batavia are of a more encouraging nature, although details of the horrors of the eruptions continue to come in. After the sudden subsidence of the disturbances in the kingdom of Batavia on Monday the eruptions seemed to lose their force for a time and the people of Batavia experienced a feeling of relief in the hope that the worst was passed. The quieter conditions continued until about 10 o'clock, when the craters once more began to send up great masses of destructive matter, although without the force of the former action. The eruptions seemed to be more violent at night than during the day. By 11 o'clock Sapandayang, which is 1034 feet high, was in a very active state of paroxysmal eruptions. It was accompanied by detonations, said to have been heard many miles away in Sumatra. Three distinct columns of flame were seen to rise from the mountain to a vast height, and its whole surface appeared as if covered with fiery streams, which spread to great distances on all sides. Stones fell for miles around and the black fragmentary matter that was carried into the air caused total darkness. A whirlwind accompanied this eruption, by which house-roofs, trees and men and horses were carried into the air. The quantity of ashes ejected was such as to cover the ground and roofs of houses at Denami to the depth of several inches. Off Point Coay the floating pumice on the sea formed a layer two feet thick, through which vessels crossed the bay with great difficulty. The rise of vapor produced the appearance of a column several thousand feet high, based on the edge of the crater. It appears the southern coast, there are found corpses thickly strewn. In the forests of the interior, from the river Ijiedom to the river Ijie-tarrum, dead bodies are lying closely together, in some instances only partially buried under the sulphurous white mud or hardened lava, that flowed from the eruptic craters. About Baybreak on Wednesday another of those startling incidents attending upon the great disturbance was manifest. With a ceasation of the paroxysms vapers were given off containing a variety of acids, and as the lava cooled down salt was deposited at the mouths of the craters. The acids of these vapors issuing from fissures in the divided mountains caused an unusually rapid decomposition in the exposed parts of the great rocks at the summit of the seven peaks. A number of them split apart suddenly Wednesday, releasing tons of depending earth. This caused several hundred slides during the morning and they went crashing down into the valley, carrying destruction and death with them. On the edge of the town of Narra some fifteen or sixteen Chinese in a section of the sanitary corps were buried before they were aware of the cause of the deep rumbling above them. A few more bodies were found today at Bantum, Warring and Palitia. Most of the corpses in the lower part of Batavia has been disposed of and there are no fears now that the health of the city will be affected. Four vessels arrived late Wednesday night. One of them had attempted to enter the straits of Sunda, but had barely got through the entrance when she struck on a sharp sunken rock, newly thrown up, and had a hole stove in her bow. She had great difficulty in keeping the water out by hard pumping long enough to reach port. No at- PLANTERS' HOTEL ANAHEIM, Los Angeles County, Cal. HENRY S. KNAPP, Proprietor. D. W.

CONNECTING AT New York and New Orleans with the several Steamer Lines to The rise of vapor produced the appearance of a column several thousand feet high, based on the edge of the crater. It appeared from a distance to consist of a mass of innumerable globular clouds of extreme whiteness, resembling vast balls of cotton rolling one over the other as they ascended, impelled by the pressure of fresh supplies increasingly urged upward by the continued explosions. At a great height the column dilated horizontally and spread into dark and turbid circles. The cloud was shaped like an immense umbrella. Forked lightning of great vividness and beauty was continually darting from different parts of the clouds. Suddenly the scene was changed. The mountain was split into seven parts without a moment's warning and where Sapanda-yang stood alone there were now seven distinct peaks drawn up to a great height. In the seams which were opened could be seen great masses of molten matter. From the fissures poured clouds of steam and the black ejected lapillo flowed in a steady stream and ran slowly down the mountain sides from a bed 200 or 300 feet in extent. The exhalations of carbonic acid gas were so abundant that fowls and animals in large numbers were killed by it and a few human beings lost their lives in the same way. This proved to be the turning point of the eruption, for the great disasures opened seemed to act as safety valves, through which the streams of lava gently flowed down into the valleys. The volcanic fires, though still burning at last advices, had lost most of their fierceness, and the streams created affordled a vent without being forced through the comparatively narrow mouths of the old cravers. One of the queer incidents was the sudden rising during Tuesday forenoon of fourteen new volcanic mountains in the straits of Sunda, forming a complete chain in almost a straight line between Point St. Nicholas, on the Javanese coast, and Haga point, on the coast of Sumatra, almost on the tops of what had been the Mersk and Middle islands, which sunk into the sea on Monday. So serious are the changes in the coast and entire formation of the straits of Sunda that the British Government and Lloyd's this evening telegraphed from London to all foreign points warning vessels that navigation of these waters had become exceedingly dangerous. In the city of Bantam, where 1500 persons were at first supposed to have perished, the bodies of 2800 have already been recovered. Some 900 inhabitants at the interior town of Waring are now known to have been killed, and at Talatra, on the deep rumbling above them. A few more bones were found to-day at Bantum, Warring and Palitia. Most of the corpses in the lower part of Batavia has been disposed of and there are no fears now that the health of the city will be affected. Four vessels arrived late Wednesday night. One of them had attempted to enter the straits of Sunda, but had barely got through the entrance when she struck on a sharp sunken rock, newly thrown up, and had a hole stove in her bow. She had great difficulty in keeping the water out by hard pumping long enough to reach port. No attempt will be made to navigate the strait until a new survey and soundings are made. Large forces of men are at work in all directions, digging out bodies from beneath the lava and rocks. At Compange Beera many bodies have been dug out. At Groge the corpses seem to be more mangled than in any other town. Most of the deaths were caused by falling rocks and debris. Reports just from Tsiroeya give the number of dead at 180. San Jorge lost about 1,000 souls. Of the Darian Siriloas population 130 perished. Many other villages and hamlets report a large proportion of their population gone. London, September 2. A correspondent at Amsterdam says: It is believed that 100,000 persons perished in North Bantam in recent calamity. It is also believed that the garrison and fort at Anjer were swept away. An extensive plain of volcanic stone was formed in the sea near Sampong, Sumatra, preventing communication with Telokbelong and Southwest Java. Louis Hartenstein and the young woman whom he was about to marry were before the altar in the Holy Trinity Church at New Orleans. The church was filled. While the priest was performing the ceremony a young girl with brown hair, wearing a neat calico dress and carrying an infant in her arms, came up the aisle and laid the child upon the trailing veil of the bride. A disturbance arose. Some of those who had come to be witnesses to the ceremony denounced Hartenstein. The priest escorted the couple to his residence, and the brown-haired girl in calico was arrested on the charge of disturbing the peace. She was arraigned for trial a few days ago. Father Reichardt, the priest, testified that on the day on which the marriage was to take place the girl called on him and told him that she was going to the church. He advised her not to take that course, and she went away. Then he sent for Hartenstein and the young woman he was to marry. Hartenstein denied the truth of the girl's charge, and the young woman said that, notwithstanding the accusation, she would marry him. After others witnesses had testified and the lawyers had made their speeches, the Judge said that he would impose penalties to the full extent allowed by law on any person who dared to disturb the peace in any church within his jurisdiction, but in this case it had not been proved that the accused girl had made any disturb- QUICK TIME AND CHEAP FARES To Eastern and European Cities Via the Great Transcontinental All-Rail Routes.

In the city of Bantam, where 1500 persons were at first supposed to have perished, the bodies of 2800 have already been recovered. Some 900 inhabitants at the interior town of Waring are now known to have been killed, and at Talatra, on the coast, 300 bodies have been found. From all over the island come reports of loss of life and property. It is thought at Batavia that the estimate of 75,000 killed will not prove excessive. On the lowlands of Batavia, where the waters have receded and quieted down, hundreds of bruised and mangled bodies are lying exposed and are being buried as fast as possible, in order to prevent the breeding and spread of contagion. While there is some cause of anxiety on this score, it is thought the greater number of bodies in the interior were so dried and scorched by the hot lava and stones that they will not putrefy. The bodies of these drowned by tidal waves can be taken care of with reasonable facility by the coast sanitary corps, now getting rapidly to work. The Captain of a steamer which was in the straits of Sunda during the recent volcanic eruption reports that ashes fell on the deck of his vessel to a depth of eighteen inches. He passed masses of floating pumice stone seven feet deep. It is estimated that 10,000 persons lost their lives at Tjir ingin. New York, September 1.—A cable special to the Sun from London says: From dispatches received from Batavia last night it appears that fears of further eruptions in the island of Java in the immediate future have subsided and all the efforts of the people are concentrated on the work of burying the dead and preserving the health of the living. All along the shores, from Point Lampon to the river Paguisa, on the northern coast, and from the river Ijemarderic to Isipan Kok, on church. He advised her not to take that course, and she went away. Then he sent for Hartenstein and the young woman he was to marry. Hartenstein denied the truth of the girl's charge, and the young woman said that, notwithstanding the accusation, she would marry him. After others witnesses had testified and the lawyers had made their speeches, the Judge said that he would impose penalties to the full extent allowed by the law on any person who dared to disturb the peace in any church within his jurisdiction, but in this case it had not been proved that the accused girl had made any disturbance. The outcery had been made by the spectators, who were incensed at Hartenstein's conduct. "And," he went on, "the Court therefore discharges this poor, deceived, deserted girl. Hattie Scott," you may go." Chicago, Sept. 1.—Referring to the late decision of Judge Nelson, the New York Herald says: Our Pacific Coast contemporaries might well have held the sensible reminder recently given by the United States Circuit Judge in their own State, that nothing is so likely to work a repeal of the Chinese law as the rigorous and absurd enforcement which Chinaphobists strive to give it. If they now appeal from the Courts to Congress to make the statute more stringent and ridiculous, they may find, in the picturesque language of the West, that they have bit off more than they can chaw. Two novel strikes are reported from Cape Town, South Africa. One is of the lawyers, who refuse to do business in court any longer under an order of the "taxing master," an official who determines the rate at which they can tax costs. The strike had not been adjusted at last accounta. The other was a strike of 600 convicts for an improved diet, which, strangely enough, was conceded, and they promised then to go to work—the next day.

Dr. O. H. Conger, of Pasadena, tells how he made mistakes in picking raisin grapes and by experience how he learned when they were fully matured. He says if you watch your vine and find when it begins to turn brown and wait a week or ten days after that it is a pretty certain guide that the grape has reached its perfection—that is, that the saccharine matter has been stored up and that it is matured, and I know no way to decide it except by tasting. You will sometimes find at the tip end of the stem that the little grapes are prematurely ripe. You will find them interspersed all along through the stem and of a smaller size at the tips of the stem already ripe, and if you pick the whole at that time you will make a mistake, because the larger ones are near the base of the stem. I cannot give you the technical term—they are not ripe. You can pick a few of the grapes near the cane, and detect by the taste whether the whole bunch is ripe or not. An experienced grapeist has been experimenting on the effect of late and early pruning of grape vines. The writer selected three vines growing near each other, and very nearly the same size and vigor of growth, to experiment upon. Pruned one the 17th of January: the second the 7th of February, leaving the last until March, or as long as possible to do so, not to cause too much bleeding. The one pruned in January sprouted early and had young grapes before the March one had budded, consequently the last one escaped all frosts, while the others were frosted. — Ravenside Press.

Rev. H. C. McCook, of Philadelphia, recently delivered a lecture upon "The Homes and Habits of Ants" before the Detroit Scientific Association and Griffith Microscopical Club, in which, according to the Kansas City Review, he gave some very graphic and interesting details, paying many high compliments to the ant for industry, intelligence; cleanliness, engineering skill, and various domestic virtues, among which the reporter selected the following: "Betore marriage the female ant has wings, which are merely ornamental, and on becoming a matron she tears off these ornamental wings with her mandibles, and plunges into the ground, where she devotes her life to sober domestic duties, for which such gaudy attire would not have been suitable. All the work and all the fighting are done by the females and mothers." The males have no mandibles with ing of grape vines. The writer selected three vines growing near each other, and very nearly the same size and vigor of growth, to experiment upon. Pruned one the 17th of January; the second the 7th of February, leaving the last until March, or as long as possible to do so, not to cause too much bleeding. The one pruned in January sprouted early and had young grapes before the March one had budded, consequently the last one escaped all frosts, while the others were frosted. — Riverside Press. The Price of Grapes. At the State Viticultural Convention Mr. Kohler said, in regard to the increase in the sale of wines, a few years ago it was said that it was because at that time there were good mature wines on hand, and these being suddenly put on the market, immediately produced a sudden demand for the wines of the State. Producers should not be hoggish. They ought not to ask $300 and $400 per acre for grapes, as they have, especially in Napa county, right along. This large price paid the producer makes the prices by the time the consumer is reached so high that other wine is then preferred. A wine grower, if he received $15 a ton, would make about twenty-five per cent more money per acre than the farmers of grain, hay or other products, except in exceptional cases. Wine makers should endeavor to mature their wines more than they have done. The speaker found it almost impossible to keep his wine, as there was such a constant demand all the time. Mountain grapes and wines should and will command a higher price than grapes or wine produced in the valley. Grape growers on hillsides, if they will plant the high class of mountain grapes, can easily get $40 per ton, and for wine twenty or twenty five cents more than valley producers. Mr. Denicke, of Fresno, said that vineyardists would make money if they got $15 per ton for Zinfandel. Eighty Laves Lost. St. John's (N. F.), August 31.—A fleet of United States fishing vessels which arrived here last night report a violent storm on the Grand Banks Sunday last. A gale rose from the eastward at eight A.M., when a hundred dories were away from the vessels overhauling the trawls. Captain Hillier reports scores of dories were turned upside down, and wreckage was strewn in every direction along his track coming westward. A French bark lost four dories and all the crews. It is computed from all sources of information that 100 dories and eighty men were lost in the storm. Most of the dories were swept by waves from the schooner decks and the remainder collapsed in the sea. Great haaste is not always good speed." Yet you must not dilly-dilly in caring for your health liver kidneys and bowels. The Sabbatarians of Pennsylvania, on undertaking to stop work and recreation on Sundays in several towns, are met by a threat to enforce the Sunday law to the uttermost, in order to make it odious. The statute was passed nearly a century ago, and has never been revised. Nor has it for a long time been regarded. It forbids almost everything on Sunday except going to church. Travel for any other than a religious or necessitous purpose is punishable. All efforts to make amendments have failed on account of the divergent views of legislators. In physique the Michigan lumberman is generally a tremendous fellow, and a good many, particularly those of Scotch birth or extraction, have classic profiles and lofty foreheads that belie their crude intellects. But one may search far before he finds a set of men, as a whole, whose internal traits are more radically vicious, according to a recent description. Almost every man drinks when he has the chance, and for redundant and voluble profanity they vie with the mates of the Mississippi boats. Their swearing is comic in its range and freedom. The Missouri Supreme Court lays down the conditions which must concur to protect the title of a purchaser upon a sale made by the vendor with a fraudulent intent. He must buy without notice of the bad intent on the part of the vendor; he must be a purchaser for a valuable consideration, and he must have paid the money before he had notice of the fraud. Captain Hillier reports scores of dories were turned upside down, and wreckage was strewn in every direction along his track coming westward. A French bark lost four dories and all the crews. It is computed from all sources of information that 100 dories and eighty men were lost in the storm. Most of the dories were swept by waves from the schooner decks and the remainder collapsed in the sea. Great haste is not always good speed. Yet you must not dilly-dally in caring for your health. Liver, kidneys and bowels must be kept healthy by the use of that prince of medicines, Kidney-Wort which comes in liquid form or dry—both thoroughly efficacious. Have it always ready.
