The earthquake shocks In Spain still con-
tnue. During the past ten days the lnhab-
itants OF that country south OF the Guadal-
culver have had almost no respite from the
state of terror into which the repeated shaking
of the earth has thrown them. News comes
overy day OF further destruction OF life and
property. No man can tell when the end will
he. and the suffering and de4tituton among
those whose homes have been destroyed are so
great that the Spanish Government solicits the
charity Of all countries.
Everybody remembers our earthquake OF last
summer. which. slight as 1t was. caused great
deal OF alarm. Imagine such a shock In
creased many fold In power. 30 that strong
buildings are tumbled down like card houses
and repeated day after day. and many times in
day, and some notion will he obtained OF the
terrible condition OF things in southern Spain.
In fact. II is not alone in Spain that tho earth
Is restless. On Friday night Maryland expert.
enced an earthquake shock which greatly
alarmed the inhabitants though 1t did no
further harm ,han shaking down dishes and
rattlng windows.
We may got what comfort We can from the
reflection that earthquakes appear to be n
necessary feature Of thnt stage Of a planets
history during which life Is possible upon its
su, face. The earth IL still cooling and as it
contracts its crust bends and trembes under
tho COMPRISING forces. But II the fate OF the
moon may be taken as n criterion. when earth
quake cease and the era OF cooling and con-
traction Is completely ended. life will be no
more possible upon the motionless surface of
the earth. on account of the lack Of air and
water than 1t now Is upon the deserted disk Of
Satellita.

sibility whatever for the present feeling of op
position to Mr. Edmunds in this state. The

tien of the Republican party, the course pursu-
ed by Mr. Edmunds, and believing that the de-
feat of the party might have been prevented by
Mr. Edmunds if he had not permitted his per-
sonal prejudices to influence his action, never
theless be had not permitted himself to encour
age any opposition to Mr. Edmunds, believing
that the time had not yet arrived for any de-
cision as to what is for the Dest interest Of the
party.
"Ihe people of the state" he said, twill have
abundant time before the election OF senator to
consider the question calmly and dispassionate
ly, and will act wisely and judiciously."
Gov Smith assured your correspondent that
he had not in any form given consent to the
use of his name in connection with the position

Miss Julia Reed fell into an unused we'll in
the cellar of the house at Keene, where she
lives, Saturday, the boarding or planking over
the well being rotten, and giving way when she
stepped upon it. She sank in the water, which
was very cold, up to her neck, and by clinging
to the stones or bricks of the well kept herself
from sinking further until her mother and
other ladies in the house let down hammock
to her and pulled hes out. Her strength was
much exhausted when she was extricated from
her perlous position.

who have no care for the prosperity OF the town
pause and think what the future may be if bust
ness is much decreased. 1t is evident enough
that town taxes cannot be very low. The roads,

these items may be larger instead of smaller
Perhaps so miles of highway and score Of
