PITTSBURG.
Heavy Damages for a Political
Libel.
10000 Barrels of Oil Ablaze.
Loss, $15O,OOO; Insurance
$4,000.

PITTsBURG, June 12.-In the libel suit
of W. and d. Moore vs.. the PhtSblTg Post,
on trial for several days past in the Com
mon Pleas Court, the jury this morning re-
turned a verdict of $4,000 damages for the
plaintiff. The cause Of the suit was an ar
ticle publised in the Post m February, 1914,
wherein Mr.. Moore, then chairman ofsthe
Democratic County Committee, was ac-
cused Of abandoning his trust as chairman,
and being false to his party.
Fatal Pistol Practice.
About 10 O'Clock this morning Richard
Christian, a young man employed at Con
way & FOrley's foundry, accidentally shot
and killed a fellow workman named
Mackrell. Christian was prscticing with
pistol when a bail passed through the par
tition and took effect in MackrelPs heart.
A Roaring Fire.
About 1890 this afternoon a serious fire
occurred at the Brilliant Oil Works, on
the Allegheny Valley Railroad, seven miles
north of this CITY. The fire originated in
a distillate tank containing 10000 barrels
oil ready for refining. In less than five
minutes this tank was envelOped in flames
which communicated with another tank
containing about 10000 barrels of crude
oil. Engines were sent from this city, and
it is thought the fire can be confined to
these two tanks. The loss cannot be as
certained.
The two tanks exploded at 7 this evening
and the burning oil was scattered in all di-
rectiOns, setting fire to a warehouse and a
large barrel-hOuse, containing several thou
sand barrels, both of which were destroyed.
The fire was also communicated TO five
other tanks, which, with one tank of ben
zine and one of tar, were destroyed.
1t Is thought at this hour that the fire is
under control, although the oil is still
burning fiercely. II is estimated the loss
will reach S15O,000; insurance S95, 600.

CHICAGO, June 12.-The following dis
patch was received at Lieut.. Gen. Sheri-
dams headquarters to-day:
Bismarck, ID. T., June 12.-We left Ft.
Buford at p. NJ. Wednesday, May 20, and
reached the mouth Of the Big Horn river
by the use Of steam alone, without setting
a spar or warping, at A. NJ. Wednesday,
June 2. Our running time was IS hours
and 40 minutes. The distance Travelled
from Ft. Buford was 400 miles, from the
mouth Of Powder river, 165 miles. Push
ing on from the Big Horn we had to work
our way up the Yellowstone by
the use of lines and spars, passing
Pompey's Pillar and PriOrs river, but
finally were compelled to turn back when
within about twenty miles of Clark's Fork,
having reached a point on the Yellow
Stone 250 miles above Powder river and
405 miles from BufOrd. In descending
the Yellow Stone, we had a rise in the
river as far as Powder river, but from there
to Big Horn the water was falling, and the
marks on the banks showed that our stage
of water was at least two feet below the
usual spring rise. The minimum depth Of
water, by sOundings, on Wolf Rapids
was eight feet, and on the main
Buffalo rapids was seven. We steamed
over both of them without the least
trouble. We also ran up the Big Horn
river for distance of twelve miles, when
We found that the channel was so OBJ
structed that it would not pay to try to 60
any higher. This river is about hundred
and fifty yards wide at its mouth, the Water
muddy, and the valley proper narrow and
rough, with plenty Of cottonwood along
stream. The water Of the Yellowstone
above the Big Horn is clear. l feel justi
fed in saying that for three months Of each
year the Yellowstone is navigable from its
mouth to the mouth of the Big Horn, and,
if reports are true, it is much better than
the upper Missouri for the same period.
We saw and killed during our trip buffalo,
elk, deer, mountain sheep and bear, and
caught trout above PryOr's river. There is
any quantity Of pine and cottonwood for
all building purposes from Tongue river as
far West as we went OF could see. We
leave this morning for Chicago.

A HAPPY THOUGHT FROM
ENGLAND.
New York Herald

A dispatch from London relates that
MessTs. Odger and Wieks, two radical
politicians, who had for some years inter
ested themselves in the condition Of English
farm hands, and have led them in a series
of strikes intended 10 better their cOndi-
ton, have been appointed by the Federal
Union of Agricultural LabOrers to come to
this country and ascertain whether the
Mississippi Valley is suitable for the settle
ment of such people as they represent.
This is important news, for il looks to a
movement which may be of the greatest
use, no. only to the Mississippi Valley, but
to the English labOrers whom Messrs.
Odger and Wicls represent.
If these two Englishmen have really a
constituency behind them ready to come over
and willingtO labor they cannot do better
than 90 at once to the cotton region OF Lou
isiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas.
They will find planters very ready 10 show
them that their people can have, not only
abundant labor, but on such conditions as
will enable them to reap, in proper and en-
couraging measure, the fruits of their toll.
They will find communities where life and
property are secure, where the State pro-
vides schools for children, where the eli
mate is so mild as TO make living small
expense, where food is abundant ard easily
procured, and where a man need only labor
steadily and live with common and by no
means pinching economy to quickly gain
what % an English agricultural laborer
would seem a splendid Independence.

PANAMA, June 4.-The following par
ticulars Of the recent terrible earthquake
have been received by letter from Salazan,
dated May 10:
AT 11:40 A. N. yesterday, the 18th, Sc
we're earthquake visited this city and region.
In this city a large part Of the church fell
and several houses sere destroyed and
some people killed. The city Of Circuita
is entirely destroyed, only a few families
being saved. The Bottea Alemania, a
German drug store, was set fire by ball
Of fire which was thrown out of the vol
canO, which is constantly belching out
lava. This volcano has opened itself in
front of Santiago, in RedgO, called FL Alto
de Ia Giracha. San CayetanO was de-
stroyed and Santiago in the lar
ger part. In Gramalate there
was great destruction. ArbOleta, Cucutilla
and San ChristObal are nearly destroyed,
principally the four last. The population
Of these towns is estimated as follows: San
Cayetano, 1000; Santiago, 1900; G;ama-
late, 5000; ArbOleta, 5000; Cucutilla, 5000;
San ChristObal, 10000. The section Of
country referred TO embraces the regions
around about where Columbia and Vene-
zuela join, the Columbia portion, embracing
the State Of SantandOr. = It is in some re-
spects the most productive part Of this Re
public, and its coffee is famous all the
world over. San Jose De Nirecta, at the
time Of the disaster, had a population esti-
mated at about $1,000. 1t had large COM
mercial business, and was a great depot for
coffee and caycO for shipment, either through
the Venezuelan ports or down the MOdelena
to Panama. The shock was felt sharply in

tleman who was at the time in FaeataitVia
says that the movement lasted for three
quarters of a minute. 1t was also slightly
felt in Bananquilla.
