CARR TO BE HUNG.

A hearing was had recently at Mont
pelier before Gov. Farnham and Hon.
1. P. Redfeld, judge of the supreme
court, on petition of G. H. Heath and
Hiram Carleton, attorneys for Royal S.
Carr, now under death sentence to be
hung April 20, 1881, for numbering
half-breed Indian He was convicted
IN September, 1879, and the case passed
to the supreme court at the August
term. No cases were heard in August,
but the term was continued till October,
after the general assembly had convened
and Carr was sentenced October %,
during the session of the legislature of
1880, Judge Barrett pronouncing SEN
tence. The petitioners ask for re-
prieve till after Jan. l, 1888, that a
full session of the legislature may in
tervene. The main ground for asking
the reprieve is that no session of the
Legislature has commenced since sen.
tence was passed. as the petitioners
claim the statute should be construed to
mean an entire session. His case was
carefully examined by a special com
mlttee and Communication was refused
Carr having confessed his crime in de
tail to that committee. The governor
having considered the question Will

the question of protecting Carr's right

THE EARTHQUAKE AT sCIO.

A despatch from Pera, April 9th,
says; 1.-The catastrophe at Chios has
surpassed all conception. The number
of killed and wounded is more than
$4,000, There are 10000 famished
sufferers who require immediate assist
ance. The Central Committee here
implores you to open subscription in
your office for their relief and begs you
to send the amount collected through
Barring Brothers to the Ottoman Bank,
London"
A despatch to the London Times
says: The first shock was felt on Sun
day the Sd, at about half-past one o'clock.
Immediately houses began to fall. Wild
shrieks were heard on every side. Then
followed an awful silence of some min
utes. The terrified survivors gradually
ventured into the narrow lanes and
reached the open spaces. Shortly after
another terrible shock completed the
devastation. Then it remained quiet
until sunset, when it again began to
shake the island throughout as severely
as before. All night the shocks sue
ceeded each other at short intervals and
each one was preceded by dull sounds
like subterranean explosions. Since that
frequent shocks have been felt. A few
minutes ago, while writing the present
despatch, l distinctly heard an explosion
like sound and felt the earth tremble,
but as | am under canvas | have nothing
to fear. The old Genoese Fortress, con-
tanning about four hundred houses in
hablted by Mussulmans and Jews
suffered more than the rest of the town
The ground there sank about half {
metre, and nearly all the houses were
Immediately destroyed, and severa
hundred persons must have persisted
1t is known that about thirty Mussul
man women were assembled in one o
the houses, not one of whom escaped"

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES.
WASHINGTON, April IL. 1888


The calamity of Chios touches the
whole world. A disaster which no human
foresight could perceive or prevent has
laid waste the beautiful island whose
songs have been among the worlds most
treasured possessions for five and twenty
centuries. A single Sunday afternoon
destroyed the fruit of sixty years of in
dustry and turned a peaceful and pleasant
country into a scene of desolation and
horror. Without one moments warming
by the unheralded and irresistible forces
of nature, seven thousand human beings
were crushed and buried beneath the
ruins of their own happy homes, ten
thousand more have been extricated,
wounded and dying, and forty thousand
are left wandering without roof or food
or plan for the future, stricken by an I'M
seen hand, famiShed, appalled,, despairing.
The situation admits of no delay. The
suffering is present and pressing. Nc
community could recover from so mystic
rious and terrible blow except through
the slow lapse of time. The neighboring
Powers have rushed to Chios with instant
| aid, but the shocked and sorrowful people
must be nurtured through many a long
day back to comfort and confidence, tt
hope and home joy, to moral strength
and self-dependence.
| In this sudden and overwhelming an
guish the accredited representatives o
the desolated province have appealed t.

THE DAKOTA DISASTER.

In his remarks at the Produce Ex-
change yesterday, Gov. Ordway, of Da-
kota. gave clear account of the disaster
which has recently overtaken the farmers
of the southwestern portion of that grow
ing Territory. 1t is disaster unparal-
leled in the history of the Territory.
and one therefore which could not be
foreseen or averted. The unusually cold
winter caused the formation of an enor-
nous quantity of ice in the Upper Mis-
souri, River A sudden thaw and fresh
ct broke up the ice on hundreds of miles
of the rivers course. A short distance
below Yankton at bend in the stream
between high bluffs a jam occurred, and
the enormous blocks of ice wedged to-
gether by the force of the current made
dam as strong for the time as gran
lite wall. The ice constantly accumulat-
Ing against this obstruction filled the
channel for the distance of nearly ten
miles, and the river overfowed its banks
and spread far and wide over the fiat
bottom lands. A large part of its wa
tiers made way for themselves north
ward across the country to the Big Sioux
River, distance of about thirty miles,
spreading devastation over hundreds of
farms, drowning the stock, and sweeping
off fences, granaries and houses, Two
villages on the banks of the Missouri
were entirely destroyed the ice masses,
whirled along by the powerful current,
battering down the houses as effectively
as bombardmeut from a battery Of
heavy artillery.
About 100000 acres of the richest
farming country in Dakota is covered
with water to depth of from two to six
feet, Most of the inhabitants have lost
all their possessions save the bare lands
of their farms. The devastated region
is the oldest-settled part of the Territory
and the farmers were fore-handed we'll
TODD people; but, like ali farmers in &
new country, their savings were invested
in stock and improvements on their land
Their restitution is complete. They
have no animals, tools or seed to plant
new crop, and nothing to live upon til
harvest time. Over 1000 of these I'm
fortunate peaple are now supported b,
public charity. The appeal for means t.
relieve their necessities which come
from the Yankton Committee through
Gov. Ordway will be sure to meet with
generous response In this city. TIL
victims of the Missouri food want onl
such help as will enable them to hel
themselves; and the wealthy citizens G
New York, who are proverbial for thei
prompness and llberality in openin
their hearts and purses for the relief c
human misery the world over, will, n
doubt, raise handsome sum for thei
relief ~. Y Tribune.

CRIME IN MASSACHUSETTS, COM
missioners of prisons have made the fol-
lowing analysis of the prison returns for
April, 1881, in comparison with those
of certain other periods: The number
of prisoners in all the prisons of the
commonwealth,-,state and county-on
the morning of the first of April was
3,7l5, consisting of 3,02l males and
694 females. This is decrease of 2O9
since January l, the loss consisting Of
l68 males and 40 females. Last year
the decrease between January l and
April l was 335,-3O5 males and 20
females. The number in prison April
/, 1880, was 4.25l, of whom 3,453
were males and 1913 were females. The
prison population April l, 1881, as
compared to that of April |, $780, shows
a decrease of $50, of which 432 are
male prisoners and lO4 females. The
number of women in prison April |,
1881, was 694. the smallest for long
period. The police authorities attribute
this in part to the imposition of long
sentences to the reformatory prison fol-
women, which tend to deter them from
crime,

The course of the Southern Senators
in making the issue bitter personal one
against Malone, and banding together
to put him down. has given him a SYM
pathy which he would not otherwise
have received. When it is seen that the
ostracism practised against him. in all
social as well as official ways, is the same
in its spirit as that which prescribed
Longstreet and the other Southern lead
ers who dared step out from the old
slave-drivers' caste, people will readily
believe that something more than a de-
sire to rebuke fusion, or concern for the
honor of Virginia, is at the bottom of it.
Let it once become apparent that the
Bourbon dynasty at the South is deter
mined that there shall be but one party
in that section, and Malone and every
other Independent will find the North
at his back. The agitation, exasperating
end harmful as it is, will not cease until
every man at the South is as free tc
at the North.
