TIE YINELAND TRAGEDY.

A correspondent of the New York
World, writing from Linden, New JERSEY.
gives the following account of Carruth
and Lands, and the state of the case be-
tween them:
Mr.. Carruth and family spent a day
here last week, on his return from Clin-
ton, N. 7. (where he had been visiting
friends), to Vineland. He is barely able
to travel by rail, by being helped into and
pain from the ball, which is still in his
head, but from a certain feeling near bis
right eye, he thinks that at some future
time, by the removal of that eve, the ball
may be taken out, as he thinks it Is lodged
very near it. His eyesight is so impaired
that he reads nothing, and he walks out Of
doors only by being supported by some
one. Nor can he be said to be out of dan
ger of death from the wound within the
year and day which New Jersey law
limits Landis's liability to be tried for
murder.
Mr.. lands is out of prison on $5O, 900
bail, to appear at court in September but
the case, if Mr.. Carruth shall live to that
time, cannot be tried till the year and
day have expired. and then only for as
sault with intent to kill. 1t is this trial,
which New Jersey justice will demand,
whatever Mr.. Carruth may do in the prem
ises, that sorely troubles Mr.. Lands; and
in view of warding off his impending
fate, and going to the State Prison,
he is extremely anxious to settle with
Mr.. Carruth, as regards his claim
for damages, hoping by thus doing his
sentence will not be SO severe as it would
be if he had not made reparation, so far
as money can go. Mr. Carruth proposes
to settle for $50 900, as he is disabled for
life and has a large family to support.
His expenses for physicians called from
Philadelphia were, with heavy incident
ais, about $1,000 per month for q period
of nearly three months. These expenses
alone consumed the most of the purchase
money of his printing establishment which
he was compelled to sell. The story that
was published few weeks ago in the
Philadelphia papers, that Mr.. Carrulh had
settled with Mr.. Lands had no founda-
ton in truth whatever.
| While Mr.. Carruth was at Clinton, Mr..
Lands and his lawyer came there with a
proposition to settle, but as the sum offered
was entirely too small for Mr.. Carruth to
consider for moment, nothing resulted
from the conference. Landis's lawyer
urged him strongly to increase the sum,
but without effect.
Mr.. Lands and his wife have separated,
she having applied for divorce, and with
his family troubles and this affair with Mr..
Carruth his prospects for the future are
very gloomy. One hardly knows which
of the two TO pity most-Mr. Carruth for
being stricken down and rendered help
less for life, or Mr.: Landis for being pre-
cipitated from a high and wealthy station
in life to certain ruin pecunarily. and a
prospective felon's cell.

Music as Medicine.

The horse knows what he owes to his
bells. The factory girls have been in
stinctively forced into singing, finding in
it solace and assistance in work. And
music, the health giver-what an untrod-
den field is there Have we never no
ticed an invalid forget pain and.weariness
under the stimulus of music? Have you
never seen pale cheek flush up, dull
eve sparkle, ansualertness and yigor take
possession of the whole frame, and ami
nation succeed to apathy? What does
all this mean ?? 1t means truth that we
have not fullysgrasped, a truth pregnant
with vast results to body and mind. 1t
means that music attacks the nervous sys-
tenn directly, reaches and rouses where
physic and change of air can neither
reach nor rouse. Music will some day
become a powerful and acknowledged
therapeutics and it is one especially APP
propriate to this excited age. Half our
diseases-some physicians say all our dis
eases-come from disorder of the nerves.
How many ills of the mind precede the
ills of the body? Boredom makes more
patients than fever; want of interest and
excitement, stagnatiOn of the emotional
life, or the fatigue of overwrought emotion
lies at the root of half the ill-health of our
young men and women Can we doubt the
power of music to break up that stagnation !?
Or, again, can we doubt its power to
soothe, to recreate an Overstrained emo
tional life by bending the bow the other
way? There are moods of exhausted
feeling in which certain kinds of music
would act like poison, just as whip and
spur, which encourage the racer at first,
tire him to death at last. There are other
kinds of music which soothe and, if [
may use the word, lubricate the worn-out
ways of the nervous centers. You will
ask what music is good for that? We re-
ply, judgment and common sense, and
above all sympathy, affectionate and mu-
steal sympathy, will partly be your guide,
but experience must decide. Let some
person well versed in the divine art sit at
the piano and let the tired one Elie on a
couch and prescribe for herselfor for him.
self. This will happen: Do not play
that Tannhauser overture just now; it

sing that Du bist die RM,' and after

and then-and .then-what4 must come
next must be left to the tact and quick
sympathy of the musician. I have known
cases where an hour of this treatment did
more good than bottlefuls of bark or pail
fuls of globules; but do not wish to over
state the case. I merely plead for an un-
recognized truth and | point to a new
vocation-the vocation of the musical

Details of the South American Earth
quake.
NEW YORK July

NEW DIRK July q.
MAIL advices from Barranguilla, United
States of Colombia, bring additional act
counts Of the destructive earthquake at
Cucuta The story of the catastrophe is con-
firmed in all its horrible details A private
letter. dated Salazar, May %, says the num-
Der of the dead is calculated at three-quar-
tiers of the entire population. The few
families which are saved are now on the
outskirts of what was the city, living on
what they can procure, but they will soon
be obliged to retire, as the putefaction
of the dead will not allow them to remain.
1t is heart-rending to see the wounded, who
can have no care, and who cannot remain
long alive in their present condition.
Four hundred mules were killed in the
streets, and, as there is no one to remove
them, the stencil is becoming frightful.
The villages of San Cristobal, Tarina,
Guasimo Capacho, San Antonio Labatera,
San Juan de Urefia, Rosario and San Cage
tano are completely destroyed. The store
house of Puerto de Los Cachos was sacked
and burned by bandits
Another letter SAYS that such was the
violence of the shock that not single
house remained standing, and monuments
in the cemetery were thrown down and
many of them removed considerable dis
lance from their original site. In thirty
seconds the city of Cucuta was converted
into mountain of ruins. The horrible
blow resulted in the death of more than
10000 persons, in addition to other, thou
sands who were seriously wounded and
bruised. Great numbers of haciendas
have been destroyed and hundreds of
houses in the country overthrown, leaving
the people homeless and consigned to pow
erty. Many of the trees were torn up by
the roots and small hills were opened like
a melon. The cause of the great catas-
trophe is, of course, unknown, and the pre-
else place of its first manifestation. Some
suppose that the volcano of SOhatera,
which was in action in 1848, is again
breaking out, while others say that new
volcano has appeared in the bills of Gira-
cha. IT is thought the Government will
appoint a scientific commission to investi-
gate the nature of the catastrophe.
A private letter from Bucaramanga, of
Nav "a, says: "In Piedecuesta the Town
Hall is destroyed, and In Pamplona the
Cathedral is in ruins"
A telegram from the Hon. A. Quilee
PARA to President Perez, dated Bucara-
manga, May "a, says: "The earthquakes
continue Last night the Cathedral in
Pamplona fell. Great alarm prevails.
There is great devastation throughout the
Valley of CuctEa."
A dispatch to President Perez, from
Chinacota, May "a, says: 1.-The popula-
ton of San Jose, Rosario and San Cage
tano have disappeared. The rest of the
department is in ruins. There have been
more than 1000 victims'
a dispatch from Socorro dated May "a,
says the situation is assuming grave as
pect, and sickness and starvation in Pam
plona are increasing. A telegram from
Chiquinqu1ra, of May %, says: "The
one today. There is great alarm among
the people. Appeals for help were being
circulated through all cities of Colombia,
and most liberal responses were being
made"
