The Antioch Earthu make.

NEW York, June 4.-The London
Telegraph Of the 24th Of May.has the fol.
lowing: "a private letter gives interest.
ing particulars ol the earthquake which
occurred in Antioch on the Sd OF April,
Two.thirds OF the houses in the town have
been utterly ruined, including the most
substantial and durable public buildings,
and the remaining houses were so greatly
damaged that there Is no possibility Of re-
occupying them. The inhabitants were
IN great misery and living in tents out
side OF the town, and are in great grief on
account OF the loss of relatives and prop.
erty. The sacrifice oil life has been very

lans and Jews being missing. Close to
Antioch is the Isle Of Suadia, in which all
the houses, numbering about 1000, are
ruined, In Elonshia and Eljadida scarcely
q building Is lett standing. Eliaba
and Gallack are also entirely ruined.
Three hundred persons persisted in the
latter place. Wlen the earthquake
took place Mount BeliRs was split into
pieces and q torrent Of black water burst
forth, tainting the atmosphere with q
strong and offensive odor. The shepherds
near the coast state that the sea rose
about one hundred feet higher than usual.
Eight days after the earthquake occurred
"a Greek priest went towards Antioch in
search for plate, and while among the
debris which had accumulated TO the
extent OF seven or eight feet he heard a
feeble voice imploring assistance, and on
proceeding to the spot he found a young
lady, and she told him that q young
brother had been buried alive. y The
priest procured assistance and he was
e,xtricated. The young lady has since

sical societies. BE will be feted tonight
at Inwood Park.
Considerable feeling and not a little In
dignation was manifested to-day on
Change and elsewhere among provision
men by the discovery that tho regular
market report from Chicago yesterday,
placed the number OF live hogs received
the preceding two days largely above the
actual number. The Superintendent Of
the Chamber of Commerce on reading the
dispatch, called the members attention TO
the peculiar appearance Of the re-
port, preparing them somewhat for
the developments which then followed.
The investigations which at once
ensued through tho official and private
channels, clearly developed the fact that
serious misstatcment had been made,
and led fourteen prominent packers and
provision merchants to unite to-day In o
communication TO the President oil the
Chamber, saying there seemed to be some
unfair influences at work to depress the
markets for hog products. Through the
medium Of these dispatches and asking
for thorough investigation and II neceS-
sary that other arrangements should be
made for dispatches. President Rowland
at the close of the charge assured the
merchants that the Superintendent had
already instituted inquiry into the facts,
and that the matter would be vigorously
investigated and a remedy applied. he
also caused amessage to be read from
the Chicago reporter, in which the blame
was placed on the latter's reporter at the
stock yards.

damage done on the 18th will amount
to four or five millions Of pounds sterling.

unquestionable, but what the impending

It. There Is not in the testimony or out.
side Of It the faintest suggestion that Leet
was indebted TO any kind of favoriteism,
political or personal, for his employment
on Grants staff, while the President, in a
letter to Grinnell, merely attested Leefs
fitness for business, and did not ask any
appointment for him. The fact OF Leets
preterment on the ground OF personal
merit Is well attested. The testimony
proves conclusively that neither Generals
Porter or Babcock had any interest what.
ever with the Leet investigation. The
committee say that number of persons
removed from the Custom House were
subsequently provided with places under
the city government by the influence OF
Tammany. While the committee feel sat

abolishment OF the system Of moieties TO
officers, except in cases Of seizure of

ferret out frauds, assistant appraisers and

removal Of Collector Casey, speaking
kind words in his favor, and saying that
1t was the wish and for the interests OF
the Republican party that he be retained.
