JAY-EYE-sEB AND PHALLAs.
They Fail to Beat their Records but dc
 Splendid TrottinE.

At Belmont Park, in Philadelphia, Jay-Eye- See attempted to recover the laurels that were snatched from him by Maud s. The little horse was put to his mettle, and made the cir cult ill 2ll. After about the regular inter mission between heats, Jay-Eye-See came slow ly jogging upon the track, looking apparently as fresh as at the start. After two short scores he came to the wire very fast, with the runner four lengths behind. It was ey- ident that Bithers intended to drive very fast mile. A hundred yards from the quarter pole he broke badly and was stopped. Leaving the score again at faster gait than in the previous heat, he fairly flew around the turn, and reached the quarter pole in thirty-three seconds, three-fourihs of a second slower than the first trial, and half second slower than Maud $. trotted her second heat at the same place. The next quarter was made in 30si seconds, the half being trotted in 1:O33{. precisely the same as that of Maud s. Bithers now called upon his charge as he was going up the incline, and the famous trotter re- spOnded gamely. It was terrible strain, but the three-quarter was reached in l:37, the third quarter being trotted in 0:3S1a The excitement was intense as he swung into the home stretch at hghtning-like gait. Bithers swayed the whip over the horses ba, k Myers had got the runner mp even and Jay-Eye-See increased his speed. The wire was but a few yards away. Bithers leaned forward to give Jay-Eye-See his head. An instant moro and the wire was reached. It was tremendous heat and the spectators knew it. They flocked around the judges, waiting eagerly for the announcement Whea 2l0l4 was hung up the cheers were deafening. Bithers said it was the best mile the horse ever trotted.
 Phallas did some beautiful work, but did not succeed in lowering his records. His time for the three heats was 2:l5, 2:1Ilf and 2:l513 hau Faa I by any stallion, the average per mile being 2:14 5-6. At Chicago, where he made the record of 2:l3sI, the average of the three heats was 215 5-l2.

The Greely Expedition.
FIREMAN o'BRIEN's LOG.

Timothy O'Brien accompanied the Greedy relief expedition. He was a fire man on the Loch Garry. In his daily log he describes the appearance of the rescued men:
 The survivors were emaciated and weakened to degree almost beyond re- lief. The dead were inclosed in blankets sewed tightly around their forms, and the men who handled them said that the bodies were so light that they could scarcely believe that human remains were contained within their folds. Some of the men through curiosity attempted to uncover one of the bodies, but was prevented by the officers, who kept strict guard over the remains. In no instance was a man allowed to look be- meath the blanket coverings, and it was common, talk among those who had formed the rescuing party that the sur vivors had lived on the bodies of their dead companions.
 The log goes on to state that through out the entire fleet it was currently re- ported that for weeks the flesh of the dead had been used for bait to shrimp nets and also for food among the men. Private Henry was undoubtedly shot while all the party, officers and men, were in state of delirium resulting from weakness and exposure, and DOT tions of the body were afterward used for food.

AN EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.
It Extends from New York to Maine.

An earthquake shock, remarkably severe for this part of the country, terrified the inhab- itants of the Middle and Eastern States Sunday afternoon. From Washington, in the South, it was felt through Delaware, Pennsylvanla, New Jersey, Eastern New York, and New En- gland. It was felt in its greatest strength, probably, along the New Jersey and Long lsl- and coast, but nowhere is any serious damage reported. From many places two shocks are re- ported, the first being generally reported at few minutes after two o'clock, followed by the other, with an intermission of sound accompanied the shaking of the earth. The direction of the disturb ances is given differently by the various observers. No damage was done, but reports from all sections say that the shock was very severe. The accounts of it's duration and direction are diverse; but the average time stated was about twenty seconds. Indications are that Wilmington, Del, was the most southern point affected. The trembling of the earth was experienced as far north as Troy, N. Y. It was felt as far west as Pittsburg, Pa
 The region affected by the earthquake ap- pears to have been bounded by southern Maine on. the north and by central Virginia on the South. The shock was felt in nearly every part of belt about 60e miles long and 200 miles wide, although this width is extended midway between the ends of the belt by the reports
 
 most severe on the New Jersey coast, on the Long Island coast, and in Con- necticut. It is impossible to determine from the telegraphic dispatt Ines and the statements of observing persons the direction of the un- dulatory movement or to locate the prob able centre of impulse. Accurate records of time seem to have been made only m Boston, Cambridge, Shelter Island, New Haven, and New York city. These records vary only 75 seconds, and they indicate if they indicate anything-that the movement travelled from New York city in a northeasterly direction. As . rule, the time recorded at places south or south west of New York city was later The disturb auce seems to have followed the coast line, al- though it is not plain that it was propogated from either end of the belt defined above. One man died of fright.

MORMON ELDERS KILLED.
A Meeting Place in Tennessee Raided by
 Masked Men.

Information received from Centreyille. Kick man county, TenD., says that four Mormon elders were shot and killed on Sunday last on Cane Creek, in Lewis county, Tenn., place remote from the railroad and telegraph lines. At II o'clock in the morning about thirty-hye men wearing masks rode up to the house of Mir. Condor, where Mormon services were in progress, and, leaving three men to guard the gate, the rest marched to the door and knocked for admission. Martin Condor and John R. Hudson responded, and were told to surrender, which demand they refused to ac- . cede to. One of the masked men struck Con dor on the head with gun, crushing his skull, whereupon Hudson emptied a double barrelled gun at the crowd, killing David Henson, a farmer, who lived i'll the neighbor- hood. The fire was returned, and Hudson dropped dead after running short distance.
 Going into the house the mob fired at two elders, one of them, named Gibbs, falling dead, the top of his head being literally torn away by buckshot. The other tried to escape, but just as he reached the outside several bull lets entered his body, and he, too, was a corpse. Two other elders managed to flee from the house, but they were pursued, and it is believed that they were also killed, as many shots were fired at them. Another elder was espied by the mob endeavoring to hide behind Mrs. Condor. One of the mob shot at him and fractured Mrs Condor's leg. The elder escaped. Mrs. Condor will die from the effects of the wound she received. Visiting the house of another neighbor, the mob found an elder, tied him, and took him to the woods. Shots were heard, and it is believed that he was killed.
 The scene at the Condor house was terrible. The form of Hudson lay where it had fallen. his shotgun at his side, and his horse, tied 8 few feet from his head, snorting and trembling in it's fright. Just inside the front door lay the body of the Mormon elder, his brains scattered on the wall and floor, and ou the green swArd beneath the window lay the other slder, with loAd eG huckshot in hia eysnat
