GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.

Along the coast Of Western Asia Minor
or Anatolia the shocks were felt with great
force, and the latest reports indicate that
the effects Of the earthquake were very se-
yerely felt as far into the interior as kulab,
over ninety miles east Of Smyrna. There
Is no doubt that when the results Of the
disaster are fully made kaown the loss
ofliie and the damage to property in
the territory west Of the Halys, the
Karajah DaRh, and the continuing range
as far as Lake Iber, will be very great. ,All
the villages between Chesmeh aud Nouria
are totally wrecked, scarcely house being
left standing to mark the site oil many
thriving places which on Monday were the
scenes OF life and bustling activity, for this
Ia one OF the busiest seasons'with the peo.
ole OF the peninsula. II is estimated that
about 5000 persons lost their lives In this
part Of the country. -.
The earthquake waves seem 10 have tol-
lowed the coast line all the way from Aivan
TO Malissa. Advices from the interior In.
dica,e that the loes Of life in that section
may reach 1900 souls and will certainly
rnnaher- -fully three. .onartszs that .natf-
mate. The number Of manned will be
very large. At Eskihiesar the dead are
about $50. From Sart the loSs Of seventy.
Ave lives Is reported. In Milassa the dam.
age was slight and the loss Of lie will
not number over fitty, the earthquake
seeming TO have spent It's force near
that point. At Gsvia the dead number
Is about eighty. From many other villages
similar reports are constantly coming in at
Sonyena, and II is very difficult at present
10 make an approximate estimate Of the
| loes Of life, The Porte has iPsued an ap-
peal to the people TO assist the sufferers by
the earthquake in Asia Minor, stating that
20 900 OF the survivors Of the disaster In
that region have been rendered HON .less

PHILADELPHIA, October lS.-The' Pres
to-day contains long account Of an inter-
view with Governor-elect Hoadly at his
home, Walnut Hills, Cincinnati. The &C.
count is largely descriptive OF the home Of
Governor Hoadly and the history Of his
life. Towards the close the late political
contes. was referred to. Governor Hoadly
seemed surprised at the result. 0nce he
said earnestly:
elbow do you account for it? This Is
certainly Republican State, and to-day
Judge Foraker, my opponent, and myself
were discussing the causes that produced
the result. He thinks the Prohibitionists
defeated him, and j am inclined to that
idea. The returns will certainly furnish
food for reflection. They will certainly be
an interestin study as to their effect upon
the future. But that is away ahead Of US
yet and we have time to think and talk Of
that later"
A PRESIDENTIAL QUANTITY.
This Is by no means all the talk we had
upon political questions. But 1t is Of Judge
Hoadly as man aud q citizen, not as the
politician, that l prefer to write. 1t Is in
this character that believe he himself
would prefer to be written Of. But be Is
not master Of these things. A queer turn
OF events has thrown him into. a position
which many great men have sought to at
tain for years. He is the irresistible Presi-
dental quantity OF the Democratic party.

associations Of the State, he 10 elected Gov.

HIS PRESTIGE.
Joe Mcdonald, Mr. Hendricks or any
other statesman is far behind him in his
staying or winning qualities. But this is
only an item Of Judge Hoadly's strength.
His greatest vantage is in the hands Of
man who alone can give 1t to whomsoever
he pleases. To the new Governor Of Ohio
that man now intends to give his winning
hand. Judge. Hoadly was Mr.. : Tilden's
counsel before the Electoral Commission,
and ever since has been favorite with the
Sage OF Greystone. II is an open secret
here that that he is against Mcdonald aad
Hendricks, and that Holman has only been
set up as decoy candidate in the interest
OF this able Political foundling, gathered
from the recent returns OF the Ohio election.

In the Island OF Chios, in the archipelago,
a few miles beyond the promontory, be-
hind which Smyrna is situated, the shocks
were felt with terrible severity The first
one occurred almost simultaneously with
that felt in Smyrna. The entire 400 miles
OF territory OF Chios seemed to be for the
time but one undulating sea OF earth.
The subterranean rumble was followed
80 quickly by the terrible shock, that
the people were given no time 10 fly. A
thick dust rose, and the sky was darkened,
The limestone rocks dotting the island
were rent asunder, the beautiful valleys
scanned with enormous fsinres, and the
course OF the streams which irrigate the
fertile plains suddenly changed. Nearly
all OF the extensive wine cellars on the
Island were utterly ruined, aud the loes to
owners will aggregate al enormous sum.
At KsstIo, the capital oi the Island, the
castle built in front Of the city as means
OF defense in olden times, was leveied to
the ground. Three small silk factories were
totally destroyed and one cotton factory
was damaged almost beyond repair. OF
the towns population few people escaped
some injury, and large proportion were
seriously hurt. The loes OF life in Kastro
will aggregate fully 800 souls. Most Of the
dead are Turks.
In other parts OF the island over 1900
persons are 30 far reported killed, and 1t is
feared the number will greatly exceed pres
eut estimates when all the outlying terri
tory Is heard from. II is, Of course, very
difficult to get reports from places at dis
tance from Kastro owing TO the difficulties
attending travel and the excitement Of the
populace.

palmed off real estate upon the
General which was comparatively
worthless, and now that he has
learned of the extent and bare face

and still hold up your head in the

PHGBE PAULIN, aged seventeen, the
bright and handsome daughter of a
respectable working man, was brutally
outraged and murdered by the roadside
at West Orange, New Jersey, Saturday
evening. She was going home from
Orange, where she had been to make
purchases. Sunday morning her body
was found in the bushes by the road
side. Her throat had been cut. AS in
the Rose Amber case, which is still
fresh in the public mind, there is no
clue to the murderer. One terrible
crime of this sort follows another in
shocking rapidity, and the dilatory po-
lice and wooden-headed detectives allow
very nearly all of the murderers to es-
cape.

waters. Whether they are being
slaughtered to feed invalids or merely
to furnish amusement for rich young

not say, but, in any case, the extermina-

be a great misfortune TO Florida.

THE editor Of the MIDDLEToWN TRAN
SCRIPT is to be congratulated upon tenn
porary but greatly needed increase of
cheek.-EUe1y EUening.
1t is rare indeed that a newspaper
man is accused Of being deficient in
cheek,-that is, regular cheek cheek
that can be depended upon to stay by
him through thick and thin through
prosperity and adversely. Would the
Euery Euening insinuate that the
TRANSCRIPTS opinion-moulder has
mistaken his calling For, verify,
what mattereth it if an editor be rich
in. ideas and gold if he have not cheek :?
That is, regular cheek. But there are
times when jokes about cheek would
strike the thoughtful person as un-
seemly and mile and half out of
place. And one of these times is when
the thoughtful person has full set Of
mumpS. When he has Il grand and
stupendous aggregation of pro tenn
cheek. When he has cheek to sell,
cheek to lend, cheek to give to the
poor, cheek for a whole community and
some for adjoining counties cheek that,
when he lies in the middle Of his bed,
hangs over both sides Of the bedstead
and touches the floor. The late editor
of the EUery EUening, Mr.. Vallandig-
ham, is man for whom we have the
deepest respect. He has stood by our
side faithfully and untiringly to make
the world happier and better. When
together on press excursions and in
worldly places he and we have en-
deavored to maintain the dignity of
the journalistic profession, to set a
bright and impressive example to the
frivilous and unthoughtful and to check
in our companions every indulgence in
unseemly conduct and unbecoming
worldly pleasures. In the face Of this
most undeniabe fact, we do not think
the late editor of the EUery EUening
has treated us right in making f1ippant
remarks about our cheek. We cannot
at this time see a joke very clearly.
Our cheek is in the way.

THE pleasant little town of Albany,
in Greene county, Wisconsin, was al
most entirely destroyed by fire a few
days ago. Hardly a business house was
left standing, and upwards of hun
dred families were turned out Of doors,
and while the temperature was at zero.
The town had no fire apparatus, save a
few buckets and ladders, and no water
supply but from private wells. The un-
fortunate people could do nothing but
stand and look upon the scene of des-
truction. Middletown is hardly as well
supplied with fire apparatus as Albany
was-af least. we haven't the ladders.

Wrapping paper is used all over the
