far into the interior as kulah, over
ninety miles east of Smyrna. There is
no doubt that when the results of the
disaster are fully made known, the loss
life and the damage to property in the
territory west of the Karajahdagh and
the continuing range as far as Lake
Iber will be very great. All the vii
lagos between Chesmeh and Vourla are
totally wrecked, scarcely house being
left standing to mark the sites of the
many thriving piacss which on Monday
were scenes of life andbustling activity,
for this is one of the busiest seasons
with the people of the Peninsula. 1t
is estimated that about 5000 persons
lost their lives in this part of the
country.
EXTENT OF THE DISASTER.
The earthquake waves seem to have
followed the coast line all the way from
Alyah to Malasses and the whole ter
ritory over which the great shocks eX-
tended was at times heaved simulta-
neously, and sensations similar to sea-
sickness were experienced by nearly
all the inhabitants. Those who watched
the sky noticed that the drifting clouds
seemed at times to be arrested in their
motion. Advices from the interior in
dicate that the loss of life in that sec
ton may reach four thousand souls
and will certainly number fully three
quarters of that estimate. The num-
Der of mained will be very large. At
Eskihissar Sart the loss of seventy-fve
lives is reported. In Milassa the dam
age was slight and the loss of life will
not number over fifty, the earthquake
seeming to have spent its force near
that point. At Geira the dead num-
ber about eighty. From many other
villages similar reports are coming in
at Smyrna, and it is very difictlt at
this time to make even an approximate
estimate of the loss of life. The Porte
has issued an appeal to the people to
assist the sufferers by the earthquakes
in Asia Minor, stating that twenty
thousand survivors of the disaster in
that region have been rendered home

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
The Ada Atkinson Murder.

FOWLER, IND, October IA Court
of Inquiry was held yesterday after.
noon to hear Jacob Neling's confes.
sion of the murder of Ada Atkinson.
The room was thrown open and
quickly crowded by an infuriated mob
determined to hear Nelling's confes-
sion from his own lips, and then hang
him to the nearest post The prisoner
was brought into court through a
private way, and on being shown his
written confession, declared it to be
true. He said: mo one prompted
me to kill her, and | had no reason for
it. / did not have any connection
with her. l went up stairs and said,
Ada, am going to kill you oh,
no, don't do that, | do not want to
die,' she replied. She did not scream,
only struggled little | remember
cutting her throat | washed nv
hands and threw the bloody water on
the grass. The blood on my knife l
could not tell whether it was hers or
from the hogs | didn't clutch her
throat, but threw her on the floor and
didn't attempt to outrage her l have
always loved her dearly 1t appeared
to me that had to do it."
Mr.. Frazier had read the charge ac-
cusing Melting of the murder of Ada
Atkinson. After the reading be was
asked: "Are you guilty or not guilty ?"
He said: Il murdered her, but | had
no malice towards her." Here the ex-
citement was painful, Melting alone
showing stolid Indifference. Judge
Coffroth committed the prisoner for
trial without bail. The doors were
then locked, and deep, powerful voice
said: mot q man shall leave this
room for five minutes" 1t was q
scene to make the stoutest heart
weaken The Sheriff was rushing the
miserable wretch down the rear pas
sage to the Jail Men threw up the
windows, but dare not leap to the
ground below. When the doors were
opened the crowd surged out. Hang
him." hang him !" was heard from
every mouth. The Jail is new and
strong and it will be no easy task to
seize the prisoner if there is much re-
sistance by the officers.
The Sheriff is guarding the prisoner
in Jail, which is surrounded by 800
armed men. At 1890 last night a
gang of SO went for railroad iron to
batter down the doors 1t seems GER
tain the prisoner will be lynched
A mob of 600 to 700 men gathered
in front of the Jail demanding Melting,
the murderer, be brought out They
ran wild with excitement and fear
Melting will escape the gallows on the
plea of insanity. Sheriff and assist.
ants stood fire, refusing to deliver up
the prisoner. A rush was made by
Iynchers and struggle ensued, dur
ing which several of the lynchers were
thrown down and trampled under
foot. The Sheriff and ex-Sheriff plead
urgently to the crowd to disperse, and
the best citizens of the town went in
among them, begging them for Gods
sake to dcsist The mob was under
no regular leadership, or would haye
accomplished it's object. AS it is they
dispersed with threats of hanging the
murderer at some future time

Where a Miracle Can be Per-
formed.

The Rev. DR. Howard Crosby wrote
to the anti-monopoly meeting at Coop
er Institute the following:
"Our present system Furnishes those
who steal five dollars, encourages and
applauds those who steal five millions
If the meeting had produced nothing
more than these words of Dr. Crosby
its time and labors would not have
been thrown away They are simple
words of truth But they set before
the people, intensely and strongly, an
evil which reflects on our national
character and threatens to destroy re-
publican institutions.
Day by day the power of wealth is
asserting itself as superior to law. Day
by day the evidences increase that the.
rights of the poor man are being grad
ually impaired and that the privileges
of the rich man are growing more and
more defiant of law and destructive of
justice.
We may paraphrase Scripture 1t
is easier for camel to go through the
eve of needle than for rich man to
get into the State prison.
In the cells of our prisons to-day are
thousands of poor wretches driven by
starvation to larceny In our club
houses, our hotels and our brown stone
mansions are dozens and scores of rich
thieves who have robbed the govern
ment and people of millions, and
against whom the law is powerless.
If the anti-monopolist organization
can do anything to destroy this evil.
they will deserve well of the country
But they will perform a miracle.-N.

TRIFLES.

What will it matter in little while
That for day
We met and gave word. a touch, a smil,,
Upon the way!
What will it t.matter whether hearts were brave
And lives were true;
That you gave me the sympathy crave,
As gave you?
These trifies Can it be they make or mar
humble life?
Are souls as lightly swayed as rushes are
BY love or strife?
Yea, yeal a look the fainting heart may break,
Or make it whole;
And just one word, if said for loves sweet sake.
May save soul. -Nau Ryzsy S,oib

Another year has rolled around ana

year for many things to make revolution,
and the teachers institute is one Of the
number.
The institute was organized last Monday
with Professors Halleck and Hammond and

ing given up the profession Of teaching
some for a more lucrative business, some
have committed matrimony, while others
found they had mistaken their calling.

have taken place in the minds Of the people
in regard to the use Of and the benefits de-
rived from these yearly gatherings Of the
teachers. Those who attended the first
ones were looked by majority OF the peo

the people did not believe they would find

would. SO with the institutes. People die
not believe they would be as beneficial al
