Great Earthquake I'm Chill.
Three Shocks Of an Earthquake on
the Same Day-Great Destruction
Of Property-AIarm Of the People.

Herald special.l
VALPARAISO, April 3O.-on the 10Th
inst. Chile was visited by the most Sc
we're shock of an earthquake experience
ed since 1851. That day being church
holiday, the people were busily engaged
in their devotions, when, at eleven
O clock, A. NJ, without the premature
rumbling, the earthquake broke among
them. For more than a minute the
walls and roofs of the chu,ches and
houses swayed fearfully, cracking and
opening in many places; windows were
broken, and bells, moved by the shock,
rang violently, and the shrleks and
cries of the terrified multitude added
even more horrors to the scene. In a
moment the streets and public squares
were full of people on their knees be-
seeching for mercy, and not until some
time after the departure Of the move
ment was there any degree OF tranquil,
ity restored. Similar scenes occurred
in Santiago, Valparaiso, and larger
towns. In the villages of the south
the alarm caused was even greater, the
fral nature of the buildings offering
little or no resistance to the shock. On
the same day the phenomenon was re-
peated three times, the last at five
o'clock P. M, with greater violence
than the others.
At this period the terror Of the peo-
pie knew no bounds. Fearful OF stop
ping in their houses, tents and shelters
were erected in the squares and suburbs,
where in some instances whole popula-
tions passed the night. There has been
no repetition of the shock since.
Taking place during daylight the loss of
life is not great. More causalities oc-
Cured from confusion and haste in
leaving the churches than from the
falling buildings. In Santiago several
very fine buildings were ruined. The
Maypoche river was stayed momentari-
". In Valparaiso many edifces were
more or less damaged. In the harbor
the vessels at anchor were pitched and
tossed as though in a violent storm, and
several small craft were driven ashore
by the force of the shock. The route
taken by the earthquake was from east
to west.
1t is an extraordinary fact that near
" all the disasters that have befallen
Chill during the past few years have
taken place on religious holidays.
The great strength Of the houses in
Santiago, with the heavy and well-built
walls necessary in that climate, have
alone prevented a most terrible catas-
trophe The people are still alarmed
and unsettled.

THE COALTROUBLES.
The Difficulty Settled.

WILKEsBARRE, May 1.-The great
cloud which has for the last three
months overshadowed this busy town
has been dispelled to-day by the an
nouncement Of settlement for the re-
sumption of work, which has been ac-
complished by the practical good sense
of Mr.. Parish, President Of the Wilkes
barre Coal and Iron Company. and a
committee of miners in the employ OF
said company. This opens up the
whole of what is generally known as
the Wilkesbarre region, embracing all
the operators on the eastern side OF the
river, and almost all the individual op'
orators at Plymouth and points on the
western side, and will throw from 20
600 to $4,000 tons Of coal on the market
each week and will probably be the
means Of inducing the large Scran'
ton and Pittston companies TO
come to some satisfactory terms with
their men. The terms on which this
long suspension has terminated are as
follows: The men agree uncondition-
ally to accept the decision of Judge
Elwell, giving to the operators the con-
troll of the works The work is to be
continued without interruption to the
end of the year on the basis as formerly
fixed upon, at five dollars, at New York.
No stoppage shall occur for any dissatls.
faction as to wages or any other matter
that may arise, but a board of arbitra-
ton of six to be appointed, three by the
men and three by the operators, and
thev shall have power to render final
decision upon all disputed points that
may arise, choosing an umpire if neces-
sary. This settlement insures steady
work for the men. Although so much
time has been lost, it is confidently ex-
pected the total shipment will not fall
much short of last years tonnage.

THE TYNDALE MURDER.
The Supposed Guilty Party.

QUINCY, ILL, May 2-There is strong
reason to believe the man arrested here
on suspicion of killing Mr.. Tyndale
will prove the guilty party. He con-
fesses to having come from Springfield
on the morning of the murder, and
passed his dead body on the way to the
train which Tyndale was to take. He
raised no alarm or notified any one un-
til arrested. In his struggle with the
murderer Mr.. Tyndals pulled a lock Of
yellow hair from the assai!ants head.
The hair was found in his hand when
discovered, and is Of a peculiar yellow
color. The hair Of the, party arrested
here exactly corresponds in color.

House of Commons.

LONDON. May LIN the House oi
Commons Harcourt and Henry made
bitter attacks on the budget. Mr.. Lowe
defended it, and said the Government
had presented the best available substi.
tute for the imposts rejected by the
House. He hoped this new attempt to
satisfy the House would meet with a
better reception. Thomas Barring re-
newed the attack, and Mr.. Gladstone
replied, showing that the measures now
proposed were identical with those
offered by the Conservatives three years
ago. Mr.. Gladstone announced that
among other proposals of the original
budget the Government intended to
stand by its project for raising money
by terminal annuities. Mr.. DisraelI
said that valuable as was the income
tax as a source OF revenue, the Govern
ment should not depend on direct taxa
tion alone. He denied the identity Of
the present measures with those for
merly proposed by the Conservatives.
A vote was then taken, and resulted in
the defeat Of the resolve against the in
come tax.
Proceedings OF Parliament.
LONDON. May. l.-Granville in the
House of Lords tonight, declined to an
swer questions respecting state negotia-
tons for the settlement of the San Juan
boundary question with the United
States. Granville stated that the govern
ment was under obligations Of secresy
until treaty ratifications were ex-
changed.
In the House Of Commons the debate
on the budget was resumed. VIM. H.
Smith, member for Westminster, moved
a resolution that in the opinion Of the
House it is inexpedient to increase the
rate of taxation on incomes. He argued
to show that the additional burden
would fall exclusively on small incomes.
Mr.. Liddell, member from Northum-
berland, seconded the melton and en-
deavored 10 prove that the reasoning Of
the Government was deceptive.
LONDON, May I'm the house Of
Commons this evening debate occur
red on the proposition to reduce the pres
ent rates OF postage between Great Brit
ain and the United States to one penny,
several members participating. Mr..
Gladstone finding the general feeling in
the house to be favorable to the propo-
sition, promised to ascertain the senti-
ments Of the United States Government
regarding the reduction.

Our Claims Against England.

There now seems to be . fair
prospect that the long pending and
constantly irritating questions be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, arising from the Alabama
and Fishing claims, will be soon
put in a process of adjustment.
The President, last week, sent to
the Senate message accompanied
by correspondence between Secre-
tary Fish and the British Minister
ut Washington. The latter pro-
posed, in behalf of his government,
a Joint commission to determine the
rights Of our own and British citi-
zens with reference to the fisheries.
TO this proposition the President
accedcd provided the Alabama
claims were allowed to come in for
consideration and settlement. This
was assen,ed to by the British Min
lister, and thus fair and mutual
basis Of settlement has been laid.
The commissioners appointed by
the President are: Secretary Fish,
Minister Schcnck, ex-attorney Gen
eral Hoar, Justice Nelson, and Sen
ator Williams, of Oregon. The
British members of the commission
are: Earl de Grey, Sir Edward
Thornton, Sir John A. Mcdonald,
Prof. Bernard, of Oxford, and Sir
John Rose. The latter has declined,
and Sir Stafford II. Northcote has
been appointed in his stead. The
commission will sit in Washington,
and will probably consume several
months in the discussion of the sub
jects involved.

A Mississippi Murder.

The following, from the Jackson
(Miss.) Pilot, is a fair illustration
of the precarious tenure with which
human life, and especially the life
of colored man, is held in very
many localities in the late rebel
States:
Gin Fannin, Rankin county, a
man named Casteel employed a col
ored shoemaker to make him a pair
Of boots, to be finished on Monday
last. Casteel made threats that,
should the boots not be finished,
and fail to fit him, and be done by
2 o'clock on Monday, that he would
kill the colored man. At the time
designated Casteel repaired to the
shocmaker's shop. The boots were
not satisfactorily finished. There
was, however, in the shop another
colored man ut the time Casteel
called. A friend of Casteel's order
ed this man out, when the latter
took double-harreled shotgun and
shot the shoemaker in the back of
the head. The friends of Casteel
who were witnesses to this out
rageous murder have left this part
of the country, hut Casteel is in Gus
tody at Brandon, and we presume
that every reasonable endeavor will
be made on the part of the officers
OF the law to mete out jystice to
him."
The mild manner in which the
local paper presumes that "every
reasonable endeavor" will be MADE
by the authorities to mete out justice
to the cold blooded murderer is al
most ludicrous, and would be quite
so were it not suggestive of the
manner in which law is administer
ed in that region. No doubt it will
be deemed entirely unreasonable to
endeavor to hang the cowardly vii
lain who perpetrated this murder,
especially ifhe, like Yeager, belongs
to the upper grade of Mississippi
ruffianism.

Cap. Swamk had an interview
with Dick Arthur while in Fl. Mad
ison last week. Dick was highly
pleased to see him and sent his kind
regards to everybody. If it were
not for Dicks ambition to become
a noted rascal he would be pretty
decent fellow. But it is that ambi-
ton that will, or has proved the
ruin of him. He is not now in the
penitentiary under sentence, but for
safe keeping until the next session
of U. S. District Court at Dubuque,
when, if there is nothing else
against him but the charge of pass
ing counterfeit money on Col. Rich
ardson, he will probably be dis
charged, as they, probably, will not
have sufficient evidence since the
Co.'s. death to convict him.-Fay-
cite Union.
The Union evidently has a warm
side for Dick Arthur, and with good
reason, for the famous rascal was
once a "burnin' an shinin' light
in the household of the Fayette
county democracy.

Accommodation Trains.


The Dubuque Times makes the
following pertinent suggestions to
the officers of the Illinois Central
Il. r. Co., regarding the running of
trains between Dubuque and Water
loo so as practically to serve as an
accommodation train. 1t seems to
us that the local traffic of the road
might be greatly increased thereby,
and the interests and convenience
of all concerned much better subser.
we'd than at present:
cit may be that the Illinois Cen.
trail Railroad Company, in their
time schedule for their Iowa Divi.
sion, has made the best arrange
ment possible to accommoda their
whole extensive line of road. 1t is
fair to presume that such was their
purpose, for we don't think that rail.
road regulations were made to spite
any section or any town, but for the
general convenience Of the compa.
ny's own business. And yet We
cannot hut believe that it would be
vastly to the advantage of the ex'
chequer of that road, if it would run
its trains over the Iowa Division
with view primarily to give to the
people along it's line facility for To-
cal communication. Can any one
doubt that if the people along the
line Of the Dubuque & Sioux City
Railroad, as far west AS Waterloo,
and along the line OF the Sonth-
western, as far south as Cedar
Rapids, could leave their homes at
a reasonable hour in The morning,
and reach Dubuque at nine or ten
O'Clock, and then 60 back to their
homes on the evening of the same
day, that soon the local traffic be-
tween Dubuque and the country
would be greatly increased, and the
amount of passenger travel soon be
trebled or quadrupled? 1t seems to
us there are enough people within
the limits of Blackhawk, Buchanan,
Delaware, Jones and Dubuque
counties, who would seek this city
for business if they could come con-
veniently in the MORNING, and go
conveniently to their home in the
evening, and who, now, because Of
the inconvenience of communication
do not visit us at all, and do not
use the railroad at all, or crowd the
trains of the Dubuque & Sioux City
Railroad each day, and to greatly
enhance the earnings Of the lessees
of that road. Can any one doubt
that it will be greatly more to the
advantage of the Illinois Central
Railroad Company to make conven-
lent the communication between
Cedar Falls and Waterloo, Waterloo
and Independence, Independence
and Manchester, and all with Du-
buque, than to lock exclusively to
through travel? 1t seems to us that
the very convenience Of being able
to 60 from Waterloo to Dubuque,
and from Cedar Rapids to Dubuque,
or from any other point on the lines
of these roads to any other interme-
date point, in the morning, and
back at night, would of necessity
induce, by its very convenience,
great and profitable increase of
travel on the road, and also, doubt
less an increase of freight bust
ness"
