brings the expense still further. Rail-

the conductor said he believed not.

was one conductor the less on that

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 2s.-It has
been discovered that eight of the persons
chosen by the recent Democratic and Re
publican State Conventions to represent
Pennsylvania on the electoral ticket next
November are ineligible. -Four of the Re-
publican electors are bank directors. The
most interesting feature that has yet arisen
is in regard to State or county officers being
eligible to serve as electors. When General
John 4. Hartrant was Governor he obtained
from Attorney General Lear an elaborate
opinion regarding the right of persons %

SHAKEN UP.
An Earthquake Creates CONSERVATION IN
England and Does Much Damage.

An Earthquake Creates Conformation In
England and Does Much Damage.
LONDON, April 22.-At $3.50 this morning
an earthquake shock of considerable force
was felt in the eastern counties of Eng
land. Localities in Essex and Suffolk
were the scenes of greatest disturb
ance. AT Ipswich the shock was so
severe that the walls of houses were per-
ceptibly shaken; plates were ratified and
bells rung. The people have been thrown
into such a state of CONSERVATION, that bus
mess is for the time suspended. The shock
was still more severe at Colchester. The
conclusion lasted half minute. The
first symptom was deep, rumbling
sound, portentious and awe-inspir
ing, followed by the quaking and
shaking of all buildings. Church bells
sounded as though swayed by unseen hands.
The tall chimney stacks of factories crashed
in ruins to the earth and other tall struc-
lures were destroyed. The spre of one
of the largest churches i'm the city, $50
feet high, fell with an awful crash
to the ground. 1t is impossible to estl-
mate the damage but it Is known to be
great. In private houses the greatest con-
fusion prevailed. Chairs and tables were
overturned, china and glassware in cup
boards were ratified together and were
frequently shattered, while pictures and
other ornaments upon the walls
were loOsened from their fastenings and fell
to the floor The people were terror strick-
EN-. Men, women and children rushed
shrieking into the streets, where their
agonized cries and pale faces made
a most impressive scene. At Chelms-
ford, about thirty miles from Lon
don, the shock was also severe, and the peO-
pie are filled with terror and dismay. At
South End the earth trembled for
miles around, and windows in many
dwellings were broken, chimneys
were dashed to the earth and
crockery and glassware smashed. At
Maldon, ten miles east of Chelmsford the
town hall and private houses were swayed
several times. The wave passed from
south to north The Globe says the
shock was felt i'm Strand, London,
and a business house was perceptibly
rocked; so much so that the employees were
affected and rushed into the streets. The
duration of the shock at Ipswich is esti-
mated at three seconds. The earthquake
has caused a general feeling of alarm and
insecurity throughout England.

Got Scared themselves.

Sr. Louis, April 23.-In consequence of
the Post-Dispdtcli's charge that a corrupt
ring controlled municipal legislation, the
House of Delegates appointed a
committee of investigation. which got
to work after distinct charge of accepting
a bride had been brought by that paper
against one of the delegates. Yesterday the
committee was thrown into a condition OF
dismay by the testimony of the Superinten-
dent of the Brush Electric Light Company,
who stated that he had been approached by a
delegate named Brennan, who promised
to help defeat bill they had before
the House unless money was forthcoming,
but stated for FIVE hundred dollars would
help the bill and secure the votes of three
other delegates The same witness testi-
fed that Ed Butler, the boss of the ring,
visited him and offered to secure the pass
age of the bill, claiming that he controlled
the House of Delegates, il the company
would agree to furnish Buffers theater
with electric light gratis for five years.
After hearing this evidence the committee
suddenly adjourned, and it was expected
that they would not have another quorum
for some time yet.

THE GOLD ExCITEMENT.
9rsdreds OF Men and Teams Heading 70
the New Gold Fields.

9rodreds OF Men and Teams Heading for
the New Gold Fields.
DENVER, April 22.-Excitement over the :
new gold discoveries at Mount Pisgah, near
Pixies Peak, is becoming intense. A thou
sand men are already in camp, and others
are coming in from all directions by
hundreds. The miners union formed
distric. named ''Golden Valley" Hun
dreds of claims are staked already. Sew
eral large companies are forming here.
Leading mining men are becoming con-
vinced that the discoveries are genuine and
are the most important in the history of the
State. The Leadville charge of sailing 1t Is
believed to be groundless and malicious A
newspaper representative telegraphs:
This Is not strictly placer ground. It
is gold bearing gravel In gulches In some
places cemented into hard mass, almost
rock, in others quite free. Color is often OBJ
tanned by washing. 1t bears strong re-
semblance to the dry placers of New Mex
leo. Most Of the gold is i'm combination,
but the combination Is not uni
formly chemical. The best opinion now
is that the placers will prove only of
secondary importance compared with the
lodes sure to be developed. The district Is
very large and rock volcanic, all charged
with mineral. The district is certainly of
great possibilities. Several assays have been
made giving an average of about forty
ounces of gold with a trace of silver. Some
have run much higher.
NO HUMBUG.
DENVER, April ga gentleman of the
highest integrity and a well known citizen
of Denver, just from the New Golden Val
ley Mining District, pron0unces the new
discovery very important one. He brings
affidavits of the most reputable citizens In
the district, to numerous assays of ore
secured in various localities of the district,
averaging about forty ounces of gold to the
ton, but that numbers are hourly
leaving the camp, denouncing 1t as
the most worthless mining fraud that has
ever been perpetrated. Notwithstanding
this, the best citizens and best known
authorities declare that fraud Is impossible,
and claim that the new district will deve.
lope into one of the most important in the
country, many reports to the contrary not
withstanding.
TITE BEST ROUTE.
PUEBLO, Col, April 23.-Four hundred
men and one hundred teams left Mount
Pisgah and Four Mile Creek, the new gold
fields which are forty miles from this point,
it being the shortest and most passable
route known. The city is wild with excite
ment, based OH reports from reliable
parties. Steps have been taken to estab-
lish mail route from Pueblo to Mount
Pisgah and from Four Mile Creek. Our
citizens have already organized railroad
company to build a railroad from Pueblo to
the new gold fields. Merchants are busy
day and night Quitting for the mines, this
being the most desirable and convenient
point for this purpose and the fare being
five dollars. All trains coming i'm are loaded
