THE EARTHQUAKE IN SPAIN TAKING
ON THE PROPORTIONS
OF n Great Observation-Disclosures of Dead
Bodies Recovered from the Ruins,
and Unknown Hundreds BE-
Iieved to BE Yet Buried.

= MADRID, Dec. 29. Tho details of the dis
astrous earthquake throughout Spain are ar
irving slowly and are being gradually pub
lished by the orders Of the government. Th
excitement in the city over the news from
the south of Spain is intense. Latest report
from Andalusia give narrowing details O
death and suffering in that portion of Spain
No less than forty towns and villages in An
dalusia were shaken and badly damaged by
the prolonged shock, which lasted fifty sec
onds.
The town of Velez, Malaga, population
aboot Is, 900 was half destroyed and many O
the inhabitants killed The work of recov
ering the bodies proceeds slowly on aceoun
of the scare produced by slight shocks, which
occurred at intervals Friday, and which
caused the workmen to move slowly in theil
undertaking The village Of Albuquera
near Granada was also half demolished
and 200 persons were killed by the
first shockS which caused a number ol
buildings to fall in before the occupants had
time to escape
Arenas Del Rey was nearly totally de.
stroyed. The number of killed is as yet un-
known, but forty bodies have since been re.
covered from the ruins.
SehAN
but few of the villagers escaped unhurt. Al
ready the bodies of twelve men have beer
recovered from the ruins.
The town of Canillas was also destroyed
and the number of persons KILLED is as yet
unknown, but is supposed to be large Sew.
eral bodies have been taken from the ruins.
The town of Estepona also suffered Sc.
verely. The dispatches from there mention
the fact that the handsome church and mu-
nicipal and other buildings were destroyed,
but say that the number of deaths cannot as
yet be ascertained. It is feared it will be
large, as many persons are missing. Eight
bodies have been recovered.
The telegraph service was continu.
ally interrupted on Thursday on account
of renewed slight shocks of earth,
quakes. Dispatches from the different towns
state that the rescuing parties are very
timid, and each slight shock Friday caused
them to desist from their work and seek
open places, hence the work of recovering
the bodies proceeds slowly. The people all
over Andalusia are terribly alarmed, and are
afraid to return to the houses left standing,
preferring to camp in the fields and open
squares

Adventure of the Crew of the "Albert, "
and Their Rescue.

Adventure of the Crew of the "Albert," !"
and Their Rescue.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Capt Jerri Park, of
the American ship Albert, and his wife and
son, have arrived from Pernambuco The
Albert sailed from Now York for Shanghai,
with cargo of oil There were
twenty-one persons aboard, including
tho captain and his wife and boy.
On Nov. IA, during a storm, heavy bolt
of lightning struck the vessels royal mast
The shock was so terrific, that the men were
stricken to the deck and in few moments
smoke was seen issuing from crevices in the
forehatches, which were covered with tar
paulin to protect the cargo from rain. After
attempting to extinguish the fire the matches
were battened down, but shortly they were
blown off by the tremendous explosion. The
flames rushed up as high as the fore
yard, and the heat became intense Pre-
parations were made to leave the ship
and in just one hour after the vessel was
struck, the crew was afloat on the ocean in a
chopping sea in three boats made fast to-
gether by their painters, and in that position
awaited the coming of relief. Next MORN
ing the steamer Comte dEtu, of Havre,
sighted them and they were soon aboard and
arrived at Pernambuco four days later.
When burned, the Albert was 1000 miles
from Cape st. Rogue.

A Couple of Disseminated Ones.

New YORK, Dec. 29.-Mrs. Downs, the
wife OF Rev. Mr.. Downs, pastor of the North
vile church, who created sensation about
four weeks ago by eloping with G. Mitchell
Terry, one Of the deacons of the church
returned to the home of her father, Nj
Hands, in Bridgehampton, L. l., on Christ
mas eve. A friend of the family had only a
few hours previously received letter from
Mrs. Downs, in which she expressed deer
sorrow for her wrong g-doing and a de.
sire to be taken back by her hus,
band. It is supposed her father telegraphed
her to come home at once He is rich and
willing to provide for her. The husband
is still at Bridgehampton with some
friends and strong efforts are max
ing TO bring about a reconciliation.
Mr.. Terry also returned home Thursday
night, and intends, if his wife will forgive
him and consent to his rsoposals, to
start with her for Orange, Va, where
he will commence farming. Mrs. Terry sold
all her household effects at auction on
Tuesday, and it is believed that she has
been in communication with her husband
with view to being reunited. The return
of the erring couple has created almost as
much excitement as did the elopement

New Labor Organization.

ScoTTsDALE, Pa, Dec. 29.-Leading labor
advocates ihereabouts are secretly weaving a
plan to form union of the miners and coke
drawers of the Connellsville coal region.
One of the representatives said: "The men
will be soon called upon to send
delegates from each set of ovens and
mines to an assembly to be held, and there is
no doubt as to the spirit in favor of a
union The coke syndicate is the best slim
ulant that could be found, because reduc-
tion has taken place since the formation of
the syndicate, and now the lowest wages
ever paid in the region are meted out to the
men, while when coke was IS cents per ton
no reduction was made. The price is now
81. Is per ton, and the men are reduced so
that they are agreed that their only source
of protection is in union.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 29-The Columbus

pons for payment until after the meeting oi
the directors in January, when they think
they can make provision for the payment Of
the same. They have over $4,000, 0O(
in bonds outstanding, the ma
jority Of which are held by parties east and
west. The strike has been a strong blow to
the company, but they claim now again to
be getting on a paying basis with the output
of coal, and think there will be an improve,
ment from the beginning of the year. There
is no change in the strike. with the exception
that the syndicate sent large number OF
foreign miners into the valley Friday,
and say they will have all they want in a few
DAYS.

work. The VOWS require them to renounce all

obedience to the commands of the order

lie church. The order was founded in Eng
land The vows were taken at private
communion service, participated in by Bishop

clergymen, and were administered by As
sistant Bishop Potter. The latters action is
looked upon with various degrees of favor
and disfavor by clergymen of the diocese,

DOCTOR MARY WALKER.
The Woman in Trousers Creates Panic
ALBANY.

Albany.
ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 20-Dr Mary
Walker, attired in black frock coat, blacl
trousers, beaver overcoat and high hat
swept down upon the executive chamber Fri
day afternoon and cleared the room the mo
ment she was known. Governor Cleveland
who was in another room, put on his over
coat and, slipping out of the private en-
trance, fastened to the executive mansion
Col Lamont was suddenly called to another
room, and remained deeply engaged
in business until her departure. The
other officials in the department
gazed on her a moment out of
curiosity, but none spoke "as they passed
by" The newspaper correspondent with
more consideration heard her story and of.
fered to espouse her cause before the presi.
dent-elect. The doctor wanted to urge her
claim for the position at Washington which
she formerly occupied. According to her
statement she was the only woman who
did active work for Cleveland during the
campaign. She was greatly disappointed at
not seeing the governor, she said, because
she had some valuable suggestions to offer
him about selecting wife. Possibly Mr..
Cleveland fed in the fear that she might
avail herself of the leap-year privilege and
throw herself at his feet.
