HUNDREDS KILLED
BY The Recent Earthquake in Cen
trial Spain.
Over Forty Towns and Villages Partially
DestrVed---The Search For
the Dead.

MADRID, December 27.-The latest de-
tails received this afternoon concerning the
earthquake, show the damage to property
and loss of life were both much greater
than first believed. The provinces of
Malaga and Granada were the
scene Of the severest disturbance.
Several places were partially destroyed.
The Mayor reports many parts of Albuque-
ros in ruins, and $50 persons are belieyedjto
have persisted. At Arenas del Rey forty
persons were killed. Disasters are likewise
reported from other towns. The slight
shocks of earthquake have been feltin many
places in Spain sinceSThursday.
The Details Being Published Gradually.
MADRID, December 27.-The details of
the disastrous earthquake throughout Spain
are being gradually published by orders Of
the Government. As the accounts are being
received, they increase the number of tatall-
ties and damages incurred by the Seismic
shock. The excitement in this city over the
news from the South of Spain is intense, as
the latest reports from Andalusia gives har.
rowing details ofdeath and suffering in that
portion ofSpain. No less than
Forty Towns and villages
in Ardalusia were shaken and badly dam
aged by the prolonged shock which lasted
fifty seconds. The town of Velez Malaga,
population about Is, 600, was half destroyed
and many Of the inhabitants killed
The work of recovering the bodies
proceeds slowly on account Of the
scare PRODUCED by slight shocks
which occurred at intervals yesterday. The
village OF Al5uquero, near Granada, was also
mali demolished and 200 persons were kllle!
by the first shock, which caused a number
of buildings to fall in before the occupants
had time 10 escape Arenas del Rey was
Nearly Totally Destroyed.
The number of killed is as yet unknown,
but forty bodies have since been recovered
from the ruins Zafarrania was completely
wrecked and but few OF the villagers escaped
unhurt. Already the bodies of twelve men
have been recovered from the runs. The
town of Couillas was also de-
stroyed, and the number o4 persons
killed is as yet unknown, but is supposed to
be large. Several bodies have been taken
from he ruins. The town Of Estepona also
suffered severely. The dispatches from
there mention the fact that the handsome
church and municipal buildings were de-
stroyed, but say that
The Number of Deaths
cannot as yet beascertained. ItiSfeared it
will be large, as many persons are missing.
Eight bodies have been recovered. The
telegraph service was continually
interrupted on Thursday on account
OF renewed slight shocks of earth
quakes. Dispatches from different towns
states that the rescuing parties are very
timid, and each slight shock yesterday
caused them to desist from their work and
seek open places. The people all over An.
dalusia are terribly alarmed and are afraid
to return to the houses left standing, pre-
ferring TO camp in the open fields and
squares.

Partly estimated.

%Partiy estimated.
Here, then, is promised an increase Of
over II per cent in the total number Of
failures Tor 1884 as against lSS3-a prob
able gain of 81 per cent in liabilities. The
totals for 1884, furthermore promise to ex-
coed any previously recorded annu2l total,
the largest heretofore having been given as
l0.5O0 failures in 1878, with 233,000,O00
liabilities. If a comparison may be insti-
tuted between 1884 and 1878 with these
totals, we find that the current year is
likely to have !, 100 more failures than that
in which the greatest commercial depression
was experienced prior to the revival OF
trade in 1879; and that the total liabilities
of failing trades in 1884 promises to be
abOutS6, 100000 greater.
The Glasses of Failures
which are sure to attract exceptional atten-
ton in any thoughtful survey Of the COM
merclsl disasters of the year are OF banks
and banking institutions. In the past three
months there were % bank failures, Of
which Is were private banking houses,
three were State banks, one was q savings
bank, and one National bank. Of the
eighteen private banking institutions, three
were stock oroking establishments, and the
remainder, with three exceptions, were
meinly small interior banking houses, which
succumhed to the embarrassments of those
interested therein, who were not successful
in {outside) commercial ventures. The de-
tails for 1881 (omitting banks which were
embarrassed early in the year. and which
have sinceresumed), with comparisons, are:

moatha Nould be mis]eading. Already three
iron mills have gas wells at their doors and
Other firms are boring private wells, A
single well produces anywhere from 10000
to 10000 cubic feet of gas per day, SO thai
the output Of all private wells within Pitts
burg should be added to the grand total Of
the capacity of carrying companies to get q
true estimate. These figures give some
idea of the enormous possibilities spread out
for Pittsburgs future. Not only Pittsburg,
but, in one sense the world will be benefited.
With cheap fuel the iron and gas city ex-
poets TO undersell all competitors. 1t has
been found that the absence Of sulphur
from the gas makes better glass and better
iron. The result is better iron and better
glass than are made elsewhere and at
cheaper prices.
A Cheap Fuel.
The rivalry between the leading corpora
tons is intense. The wealthiest capitalists
of the city hold stock in them. The vol
ume of their stock has gone up to fabu-
lous sums, and MS a result OF the competi-
ton the price of natural gas to the con-
sumers has gone down to fifteen cents per
loo feet-a little less than the price OF
coal 1t is confidently expected that it will
go to FIVE cents per 1000 feet before long.
But it is not alone in the price that gas is
more economic as fuel than coal. 1t is in
the saving of labor No coalheavers, ash.
haulers or coal delivery on cars or wagons
are required. The Pittsburgh Plate Glass
Company, whose works are twenty miles up
the Allegheny river, are saving $1,000 a
day, or 100000 year, by the use of gas,
Their works are vast in size, and the oat-
put is immense. They are underselling the
world with their plate glass. In every
other branch of manufacture the saving is in
the same proportion.
So very little is yet known about the nat
ural gas resources, even by scientists, that
no one can speak with certainty as to the
life Of q gas we'll. Two theories are held
first, that the supply of gas is inexhaustible;
second. that the supply can and will be ex-
hausted within twenty years. The former
idea is that generally accepted and expert:
ence supports it in measure. Dozens OF
wells in this part of the country have been
burning since 1870 and few since 1862
with an undimlnished flow Of gas.

friends and advisers view all questions Of q
political nature. We intend him Tor the
next Democratic candidate. There IS little
idea for the speakership for him again. In
deed, for my own part, / think it probable
that the speaker OF the Fiftieth Congress
viii be 3 Republican, but should not re-
gard this as possible if Randall were speaker
Of the Forty-ninth. THERE'S no idea in the
Randall camp Of yielding g hair on the
tariff question. We deem il q point OF
great advantage to keep as nearly on the
opposite side to Carlisle on this question as
possible"
Said Pennsylvania journalist: "In sup
port Of Rsndalfs going into the Cabinet,
and as an answer to your objections, would
Democratic party, after being twenty four
years out Of power, have Just gained posses
sion of the Government and is about to in
augurate new era. Cleveland's election is
q great event in political history, and Mr..
Randalfs call to the Cabinet would be
promotion and would place him on the
high-road to the Presidency. To this Mr..
Randall is somewhat inclined to turn a
listening ear. i have no doubt in the
world that the call from Cleveland will
be made in due time"
Looking Ahead.
Holding the Presidency steadily in view,
and Judging everything as to the effect it
will have on his prospects, the friends OF
Mr.. Randall generally favor the floor of the
House as his proper place.
The Southern Trip.
A Georgia editor wrote me some time
back that Mr. Randall was dear to the peo'
pie of his State Wrote this editor: ut
may be that some of our delegates in Con-
gress will see fit to oppose Mr. Randall in
his tariff policy and perhaps in other meas
ures, but should he strike for the Speaker
ship Of the next Congress every man of
them will but follow the win of our people if
he vote for Mr. Randall They are but the
spokes of the wheel, Georgia is the hub, and
the hub is for Randall, because Randall has
always been and Is now for Georgia"
/ have many letters from Louisiana tell
ing me that, down there, Randall is first
choice for everything. Major Burke, the
editor of the Times-Democrat, is one of
Randalrs best friends and helped him make
the tariff plank of the party platform which
Henry Watterson had to digest calling it
free trade after il got down.
And now comes this wild fellow and says
in indecent language that the FIRST states
man of the Democratic party, the most ma
tioual man in the patty, its clearest and
surest guide, the great champion Of the peo-
pies rights, the unrivalled Speaker of the
House Of Representatives, shall not have
me hospitality OF the people of kentucky.
And all because Mr.. Randall defeated the

A REMARKABLE CASE.
A Leading Physician of Brooklyn Dying
From q Scratch.


New York, December 27.-Dr. Geo. II.
Atkinson, one of the leading physicians of
Brooklyn, is lying at the point of death. The
disease from which he is suffering with not
the slightest hope of recovery is blood poi
soniDg, contracted while attending private
patient in August last. The patient was the
victim Of an infectious disease. A painful
operation become necessary. Either was
administered and while the patient was under
the knife he scratched the first joint Of the
middle finger of the doctors right hand with
his nails, drawing blood. The wound at
first was apparently insignificant. To-
ward the end of November, the
doctor began to suffer greatly.
Two weeks ago his right side become para
lived and his mind began to wander.
Next day only the lett hand could be
moved and since then he has been under
the constant care OF half dozen of the
most distinguished medical men in the
country, DR.. Pearce said last night that the
patients pulse had reached l6O and the end
was not far of. The case is considered one of
the most remarkable which has ever come
to the knowledge of the attendant physi-
clans, as the pei on was not expected TO
reach the brain for year or more. There
is only one case Of a similar kind men
toned in the books.

New YORK, December 27.-The number

pendant in part, of course, on the increase
in the number of business ventures, may be
gathered from the following:
