The President on His Vacation,

HOTEL kAATERsKILL, N. Y, August :.
The President breakfasted quietly at
ten, from which time until two O'Clock
personal correspondence occupied his at,
tention. The Presidents daughter, Nell
lie, and niece, Mrs McElroy, with Gener-
al Sharp, were up with the larks mean
dering about the mountains. Through
out the day visitors from neIghboring
boarding house swarmed to the hotel to
catch glimpse of the President,
who kept TO himself until three
O'clock, when he took short drive,
returning at five O'Clock Mr. George
Harding rendered banquet to the Piesl-
dent at half past six O'Clock in private

waiting for hats and wraps. In the east
district the firemen ran to the horses and
made every preparation to respond TO an
alarm Of fire. Nearly every Sunday
school in the city was in session. The
little children were stricken with terror
and began to scream. Teachers and Off
GERS were for moment unable to speak
or move. When the shock came, rattling
the windows and swaying the gas fix
lures, many hands were clasped and
prayers were uttered on bended knees.
WOMEN FRUSTRATED.
Several women were prostrated. At
the corner of Lexington and Marcy ave-
nues lady tainted and on South Ninth
street an aged man fell to the sidewalk
of the Long Beach Hotel was cleared Of
its 500 occupants in less than two mln-
utes. Guests and walters joined in q
frantic rush for the doors and windows.
The stout bars across the veranda door,
ways were broken down and the crowd
poured down the steps toward the beach.
Two ladies tainted and others had to be
assisted from the room. The shock at
Coney Island created consternation
among the residents and the thousands
of visitors.
All along the beach the effects were
felt at various hotels. People in the
dining rooms rushed wildly out. Most
people imagined that a terrific explosion
had taken place, while number con-
cluded that their last day had come.
The two ton safe in the Manhattan
Beach Hotel was moved three inches
along the floor, scraping the plaster off
the wall. This house was shaken, but
no damage resulted. At Paul Bauer'S
the widest excitement prevailed-the
walters dropped their dishes and the as
Sembled Teutons made an indiScriminate
rush for the doors.
BALTIMORE.
The most southerly point affected by
the earthquake appears to have been
Baltimore, and the most northerly Brat
tleboro, vt. The chief damage appears
to have occurred at Hartford, where one
man died from fright in the Jail. Those
familiar with ear hquakes agree that two
Oh three shocks always follow one another
when one occurs, and it is likely that the
country will be again visited soon.
OTHER POINTS.
The first telegraphic reports Of the
earthquake were received from the fol-
lOWlUg pOIulS: ne AJiduIlC dISuiduuoy
near Sandy Hook, Long Branch, Phila-
delphia, New Haven, Boston, Elizabeth,
Piainfeld, Spring Lake, College City,
Martha's Vineyard and Portland, Me-,
at the last point the shock was slight.
Reports were also received from many
of the sub-offices about New York. The
reports as to the duration of the shock
are diverse, but the average seems to be
about ten seconds. At 2:l5 O'Clock the
Atlantic Highlands experienced second
shock, but it was less violent than the
first. The severest shock was re-
ported from Sea Bright, N. j., where
the depot shifted to one side, shaking up
the contents and the sole inmate. At
Hartford bareheaded man rushed
trantically to the telegraph office, hold
ing in his hands a newspaper which he
had been reading. He said he had been
rocked violently, and that the plastering
on the ceiling above him had been cracked
and in some places had dropped to the
floor.

FOUGHT TO THE DEATH.

Desperate and anguinary Fight, the
Outcome of Long-Standing keud-Two
of the Participants MortaIly Wounded
and Others Dangerously.
FREDONIA, TEX, August I.
A fierce and bloody combat oc-
CURED on Monday evening ten mics
north of here between four desperate
characters, who happened to meet near
the line between San Saba and Mason
Counties. Samuel Faulkner and Henry
Allen attacked the two Woodail
brothers, opening fire at short
range with repeating rifles.
The Woodalls, dismountng, returned
the # from behind their horses. Eight
shots were rapidly fired by each side.
Allen fell about the fifth round, pierced
through the heart. One of the Woodalis
received a bullet in the shoulder near
the neck, disabling him. The remaining
Woodal brother and Faulkner then ap-
preached each other
VITA BOWIE KNIVES DRAWN,
and fearful duel followed, each being
skilled wielders of the weapons. Tha
wounded Woodall, lying near by bleed
ing to death, kept urging his brother on.
Faulkner, however, after few sharp
SlTugSleS, SclZeO w OOudilS 5 lcIC WrlSl,
and gave him a quick jerk, which
brought him to his knees and as
the latter fell Faulkner plugged his
knife just below the victims heart
Faulkner then turned to look after AL
len, his dead companion. AS he did SO
he received bullet in the breast from
the pistol of the elder Woodall, who lay
there unable to rise, his neck and shoulder
being split open.
Faulkner may recover, but the Wood
alls are dying. They soon became un
conscious from loss of blood. Mr.. Bur
ner, who tried to prevent the hostilities,
received severe flesh wounds in the arms.
Burner and two other men witnessed the
battle from the beginning but
DARED NOT INTERFERE.
Faulkner tod one of the spectators that
the fight was the result of an old feud in
Arkansas, where all had once been
friends. He said he knew it was death
when they met, and he was glad it was
over. Alien had nearly 200 on his
person. 1t is believed each party was on
its way to attend a camp-meeting now in
progress here.

Dallas, Texas, Participated III by Boys in
Blue-Letter of Regret from jefferson
Davis-Disappointed Visitors.
DALLAS, TEX, August7.
Nearly twenty veteran organizations
are represented by large delegations
at the exConfederate reunion. There are
also special headquarters for ex-Union
soldiers, and the most fraternal relations
are manifested by the survivors Of the two
armies. This morning there were fully
5000 men in camp, and the city was
packed with visitors. The number at the
grounds was variously estimated at from
$4,000 to 20, 600. Colonel G.. S. Mitchell,
President of the ex-CoIfederate Assoca-
tion, delivered the address of wei
come, which was responded to
by Governor ireland. Most strenu-
Gus efforts were made to secure
the presence of Jeff Davis, the society
going so far as to place special train
and palace car at his disposal; but at his
agc-sevcnty-Six six years-his friends feared
that the excitement of the meeting wound
prove fatal to him, and he was prevailed
upon to remain away. He sent letter
in which he said 81 send you my warm
est congratulations of the hardy old Set
battles of the war for Independence. OF
the veterans who served in the war with
Mexico, how few wait on the verge Of eter-
nifty. 1t was a rule among Romans to re-
ward Generals returning successful from
foreign wars, but never to granta triumph
for a victory won in internecine STRIFE.
With US the rule has been reversed, and
the veterans of the war with Mexico
have been the subjects of special dis
elimination. The history of Texas is
full of heroic deeds from the self-sacri-
ficing Rand who peri>hed at the Alamo,
to the defense of Sabine Pass,
success must, l think, be adm tied to
have no parallel in ancient or modern war
fare. Texas is now boldly stridlng on
ward III the conquests Of peace, and
can not wish for her brighter future
than. that in agriculture, mining, manu-
featuring, educational, social and relig
ious efforts, she may gather wreaths of
oak worthy 20 mlngle with the fade
less laurel that decks her brow.
Deprived of the happiness of meeting,
probably for the last time, the old set
Tiers and ex-Confe.erates in their re-
union and of receiving the friendly well
come and feeling the warm grasp OF their
hands, send to them my earnest prayer
that every good and perfect gilt may be
vouchsafed to them"
The name of Mr.. Davis was enthusias.
tically cheered, and his absence pro.
duced deep regret, as many came long
distances expecting to meet him.

WALL STREET SHAKEN UP.

Collapse of the Wall Street Bank-Irregu.
larities to the Amount of 100000 on the
Part of the Cashier the Alleged Cause
The Latter Missing-Depositors VIII be
Paid, But the Capital is Annihilated.
NEW YORK, August IL.
Wall street had small earthquake
to-day when the fact became known that
the Wall Street Bank, whose offices are
in the Mills Building, had burst The
bank was not open at all to-day. The fol-
lowing notice was posted on its doors:
Owing to irregularities on the part of the
Cashier. the bank will remain closed until mat
tiers can be regulated.
The announcement was not signaled.
The fact of the bank having collapsed
spread like wildfire, and few minutes af-
ter it became known crowds OF brokers,
and Office boys, focked to the Mills street
building and one after another read the
above notice, then coming down the stairs
leading to the offices of the bank, stood
on the sidewalks in groups discussing
the failure. A man who said he was de-
positor in the bank broke excitedly into
group u DIOhClS W AhN' S<ANieSNe-
ly exclaimed:
'sFor heavens sake what is the trouble7
Is my money gomez"
One of the brokers said: "Don't know
what's the trouble, except that Dickin-
son, the Cashier, is said to have gone to
join Emo and Hinckley in Canada"
Representatives Of the press were not
admitted to the bank. There was such
confusion inside among the officers who
were unable to say when the ofiiclal
statement of the banks condition will be
made public Thos. w. Evans, Presi-
dent, said:
National Bank depositors will be all
paid in full, but the probability was that
the stockholders lose everything. No au-
thoritative statement can be obtained as
to the exactness of the irregularities OF
the cashier.
Dickinson is said to have absconded
with 100000. Officers of the bank, all
of whom are responsible for any deficit
arising from the egllarities of en-
ployes, say that they are ready to make
good all losses. 1t is said now that the
c.earances of the bank all went through
correctly without default on Saturday.
PILLAR In sToRRs' CHURCH.
Dickinson was leading pillar in Doc
tor Storrs' Brooklyn Church. President
Evans says he lost money bulling wheat,
and also says the capital wilt be un-
doubtedIy swept away, but the depositors
will eventually De paid in full. 1t is
thought that fifty per cent. will be paid
this week. The bank is quietly giving
its checks for moneys deposited Satur-
day. The bank was started three years
ago by the Grant family. Victor New
comb is also reported TO De Interested

1000 bushels of wheat, 300 bushels of
peas and 800 bushels of barley. They
have about 5000 bushels Of oats yet
to thresh, which will make a total in
bushels Of over 10000. The wheat
threshed is mostly for seed and chicken
feed, but Mr.. Abrams says nearly every
ranchman is going to double the acre
age of wheat next season. Some win
ter wheat has been sown but the
majority will be raised from spring
sowing. This looks Il little like farm

KISS Defined.

"a kiss is a paroxysmal contact be-
tween the labial appendages attached
to the superior and inferior maxillaries
respectively of a man and woman or
two women. The younger the parties
are the more p%aroxysmal will be the
paroxysm, and in case it be observed
by the fond father Of the paroxyzed
young lady, there is also likely to
be perigee between the ~paroxyzers
pedalic junction and the phalangeal
extremities of the metatarsus, tarsus,
and other bric-a-brac depending from
the lower end Of the g%entleman's right
leg. The kiss itself is not the par
oxysm. 1t is merely the vibrations OF
the superintendent atmosphere result
ant from the expulsion Of sweetness
from each of the pairs of lips engaged
in creating it."
