THE SPANISH EARTHoUAKE.
People Fleeing Panic-stricken from Their
 HOmes-LOss of Life at Malaga.

MADRID, Dec. 27.-Th details of the earth
 quake of Wednesday night show that 1t was
 more disastrous than at first anticipated One
 shock lasted fully fifty seconds, and was felt
 throughout the whole of Spain, but more es-
 pecially in Andalusia, where number Of towns
 suffered severely. At Granada the houses
 rocked violently and the earth trembled be-
 heath the feet of the inhabitants as they lied, panic-stricken, from their homes to the fields
 on the outskirts of the town. Some were
 wounded, while fleeing through the streets, by falling bricks and cornices, but none have as
 yet been reported as killed number of
 buildings were badly damaged, and 1t will re- quire considerable outlay to repair them be-
 fore they can be occupied with safety. At Malaga the shock was more disaHtrously felt,
 many houses being wrecked and number of the inmates buried in the ruins. Many per- sons were killed and a large number wounded Those who escaped without injury deserted their homes and camped in the open squares and in the field outside of the town. The refugees were huddled around huge bODfires which were kept burning all the night to keep them warm, the weather being colder than usual, and nearly all of them had fed so hasti- ly from their houses that they neglected to provide themselves with wraps or the heavier clothing necessary for passing the night in the open air. Fainter shocks occurred at intervals during the night which increased the alarm of
 the people and prevented them from seeking shelter in any of the buildings. To-day large gangs of men are at work among the ruins of the wrecked buildings searching for the bodies of missing persons, Already a number of bodies have been recovered, and many more are known to be still buried among the debris. The Government has sent pro
 visions clothing, etc, for the relief of the suf- ferers, and 8 subscription list has also been opened. In Madrid the damage was slight, but the shock was sufficiently felt to frighten the inhabitants. The places of amusement
 were quickly emptied of their audiences and the performances brought to an abrupt ter rniuati0n

Happenings of Interest to All,
 At Home and Abroad.
DESTROYED BY A DRUNKEN MOB.
Armed Men RaId a Dakota Territory Court
 House and Steal the Safe.

In the morning at seven o'clock an armed mob of a hundred men, mostly from Wilmot, attacked the Court House in Traverse, the county seat of Roberts county, breaking in every door and removing the county safe. Be- fore making the attack strong guard, armed with Winchester rifles, was stationed at the end of every street, and no one was permitted to enter or leave the town. An immense amount of property was destroyed. Not satis- fled with the large safe, the mob attacked and carried away all the private property they could find. But few of the people of Traverse were stirring when the mob arrived.
 Sheriff Cummings attempted to resist the mob, but was immediately covered with 8 dozen Winchesters. The people, not wishing to see bloodshed, made 20 resistance. The mob remained about an hour and then left with the safe and private property.
 The inside of the Court House is 6 perfect wreck. Every man in the mob was under the influence of liquor. The United States mail carrier was stopped and the mail overhauled. The Post Office Depart ment has been notified of this outrage. The safe contained no valuable records or papers. The mob destroyed large number of papers, among which were several chattel mortgages. All the other county records are safe, the County Clerk having removed them from the Court House. A notice has been posted on the Court House door to the effect that the records are safe and that business will be transacted as usual The affair was county seat trouble, such as are frequent in the Vest
 On sunday & conference of 150 men was be- ing held in Mann's office at Wilmot, the Chair man standing on top of the stolen safe. He said that tho combination had been tele- graphed for, and if it were not received at once the safe would be blown open. He asked: "What shall we do if the books are not in the safe P
 Amotion was made and carried amid cheers and howls to again go to Traverse and sack and burn every building and hang every man found. All the men at the meeting were armed with Wincbesters and shotguns.
 On receipt of this news the Traverse officers ordered the women and children to leave the town, and the order was rapidly obeyed Troops were ordered to Traverse, and help was sent for throughout the county.

Hunting the Buffalo.

As we were ascending hill, keeping sharp lookout for game, suddenly the captain bawled out:
 ''By George, boys, there's a buffalo. or I'm suckerl
 "WhereP" cried Mel and I at tk- same time.
 .on tl.a4 hin ~ser there to tne rightl" said the captain. Don't you see him ? Why, he's as big as house"
 There he was indeed. And in the haze that perpetually surrounds these hills he appeared to be forty feet high, and to grow bigger every time we looked at him.
 "TH tell you how we'll fix him." said the captain. "We'lI tie the horses here. Then I'll surround him, and drive him down that ravine, and you can hide at the mouth, and shoot him when he comes out"
 The plan looked feasible to us, and we concealed ourselves near the mouth of the ravine and waited, our hearts in our mouths, for the noble game. The cap- tain had about mile to go to round him up, and we were getting awfully impatient, when suddenly we heard 8 great rushing sound in the rayine, and soon the gigantic animal came forth, crashing through the brush that lined the ravine. We only got 8 glimpse of him, but that was enough, and we both fired and had the satisfaction of seeing him stagger forward through the brush few steps and fall, the noblest game huntsman ever brought down. We raised shout of triumph and started toward our prey, when we heard great hallooing, and looking up the hill saw the captain running down toward us waving his hands and shouting at the top of his voice. We thought some- thing was the matter and waited for him. The first words he used as he ran up all breathless were:
 "You internal fools you didn't shoot him, did youP ?"
 "You bet we did !" replied.
 "Well, I never saw such internal idiots Can't you see anything? That was nothing but bull-a Durham bull belonging to some cattlemen here. Didn't you hear me holler ?"
 We didn't. Sure enough, the animal was bull belonging to Kennedy Brothers ranch, and that buffalo steak cost us $25 apiece, and our stomachs were not strong enough to eat it.

A Rare Old City.

This is a veritable land of flowers and soft breezes, writes a newspaper cor respondent, of New Orleans. You do not need much shelter, and there is an lbundancs to eat. Piles and piles of oysters, the finest red sneppers and. pompano fish I ever saw taken fresh from the waters of the Gulf, and no end of fruits and vegetables displayed ln the most tempting array in the his- toric old French market. could not now undertake to give even faint idea of the extent and splendor of the Elk position; that must come later, but I could write all day about the ws.-aner and the fairy-like surrosaaln6s we now pnioy in thi- Peculier old city. It IS the ,-zost un-American place in the united States in its quaint streets, the names and customs of its in- hBbitants, and the architecture of it's buildings. It all looks strange to one who has been used to the cities of Boston, Chicago and New York, but I think Is none the less charming. Those who are to come here from the North will find as much to interest themselves n the people who live here, the climate and the peculiar institutions of the city as in the Exposition. The restaurants have novel dishes, the saloons have novel drinks, people novel manners, and you can't help feeling that you are in land of poetic fancy, 8 veritable dream land, of which you have had faint im- aginative touches in the past. Rare old city is New Orleans It is very garden of pleasure. The Latin races that were its founders have bequeathed their spirit of ease and jollity to their descendants. There are more clubs here han in Boston or Chicago or Cincinnati. The people are sociable to a high de- gree. They like to eat and drink and be merry. They like to dance and sing and have music. It is the only place in America where there can be a success fnl Mardi-G Gras carnival.

The first dividend was paid in November, 1875, and the fifth dividend, declared in May, 1883, making an aggregate of 62 per cent, took nearly all the available capital. The controller of the currency, who is also commissioner of the Freed mems Saving and Trust Company, now asks Congress to appropriate about $950yO00 to complete the pay ment, and the request is just.

JOHN CHINAMAN,s WAYS.
How he Manages to Pick up his Fortune
 In thIs Country.
TFrom the N. V. Graphio.1

From the N. Y. Graphic.I
 The Chinese laundrymen form an element of our population that is but little considered. Nevertheless they have almost monopoly of that business, and are constantly increasing in number. Probably nine-tenths of the Chinese in New York are engaged in the business of washing and ironing. They are 6 shrewd class on the whole, and have the commercial instinct strongly de- veloped. When they find it necessary to build up business they 'scut the rates" but when they have got good start they charge as much for their work as they can get. One of these laundry establishments is usually con- ducted by two Mongolians. One of them is usually young man fresh from the Flowery Land unable to speak a word of English, and the other Is the proprietor, an older head, who has been in this country some years and can stumble through the few phrases such as "Oome on Saturday" ana "Fifta centee" that make intercourse with his patrons possible. These men are quiet and industrious as a rule, and consider ing the large number of them in New York they rarely require police regula- ton. They worS nard and save every cent they can. Gfocerymen who supply them say they buy only the cheapest things, like rice, that will support life, md never indulge in luxuries, except ing perhaps bit of tobacco now and then. Of the different nationalities that come to this country they are the most backward in adopting American customs. They abandon their Chinese hats and wear American soft felt hats, but that is about as far as they go in changing their dress. Once in a while a bolder spirit than the rest buys pair of leather shoes and an American suit of clothes on the Bowery, and sallies forth to show the progressive spirit of his countrymen, but he Is more of China man than ever in them and quickly wriggles back into his bags and blouse. The general superstition about China man ie that he comes here till he makes $500, fortune to him, and then scoots for home. With this he goes to Sin Gan or Whang Hai or some other out landish place and lives on his money the rest of his life. He marries and settles down, takes the papers, and per- haps becomes something of politician, and so lives as respected capitalist till he day when he is deposited under ground with live chicken and copper cent in his coffin.

THE SHARON DIVORCE SUIT.
Miss HIlI Declared to Have Been Legally NEarried-To Share the Senator's Mill Hons.

The sharon divorce suit has at last been de- cided, and the great legal sensation of the year has come to an end. Judge Sullivan decides that Miss Sarah Althea Hill, the plaintiff in the suit, was the legal wife of Senator Sharon. and that as such she is entitled not only to di- vorce on the ground of wilful desertion, but also to a share in the common property of man and wife, which will perhaps amount to $10, ,000, GOO.
 Miss Hill in November, 1883, began her suit in the Superior Court of San Francisco, Cal. !, against Senator sharon. Sharon denied that he was ever married to Miss Hill, and when that lady produced the marriage contract in court he denounced it as forgery in such loud and indignant terms that the Judge or dered him to be removed from the court.
 Miss Hill, at the instance of the Senator, was indicted for perjury, forgery and conspiracy. Mir. William N Nelson, her attorney, was also indicted on the same charges. Both, however, were admitted to bail.
 Judge Sullivan's decision is very comprehen- sive, containing 26, 900 words. After reviewing the testimony he concludes by declaring that, under the laws of California, the plaintiff is the legal wife of Sharon, and as such, on the ground of wilful desertion, is entitled to di- vorce and division of the common property The latter is estimated to be worth SIC, ,000, ,000 Sharon will appeal the case.

rHE REBELLloN IN ECUADOR.
General Alfmre Captures R s9Overnmen
 Steamer Loaded wtth Troops-4OO MeI EgHfmx.

KIisd.
 News has been received from Ecuador to the effect that scattered bands have taken posses sion of several towns, and in some instances fighting occurred, attended by loss of life. In one of these fights, said to have occurred on the slope of the Ootopazi volcano, some twenty or thirty men were
 killed, and the Government force was com pelled to retreat. The coast rebels were more unfortunate. After the fight in Tumaco between the Alajueia and the Nueve de Julio, Alfaro effected 8 landing on the Ecuadorian coast. On Nov. 30, he endeavored to capture and hold Portoviejo, but was defeated by the Government forces and compelled to seek
 safety in flight Gen. Alfaro then returned to the Alajuela, leaving his men to make for the interior to join the parties in revolt there. On the 8th he moved toward Bahia, and
 when off Las CruZitas fell in with the Gov
 ernment steamer Huacho. He steamed along
 side of her, and, after 6 heavy fire, carried her by boarding. She was full of troops, to whom her bare hull offered no pro- lection, and it is said that at least 400 men were killed or wounded. These be- longed to the Government party. While the victors were examining their prize, the Nueve de Julio another Government vessel put in an appearance. The Huacho was useless for fighting, and the Alsjuela was damaged and her captain dead. It was then determined to run her ashore, take out what could be re-
 moved in hurry, and burn her. This plan
 was followed, and the Nueve de Julio pro-
 ceeded to Bahai with her crippled consort.
