FEARFUL EARTHQUAKE IN ASIA.
SerinnEur in Cashmere Devastated by Successive Shocks-GreaI Loss of Life.

Successive Shocks-Greal Loss Of Life.
 Reports of terrible earthquakes in Cash mere have just been received from Calcutta. Since Sunday terrible destructive shocks have occurred at intervals of about ten minutes The loss of life is enormous, but at present cannot be exactly estimated.
 The cavalry barracks at Serinagur, a capital of Cashmere, have been destroyed. Fifty of the inmates were killed outright and great number wounded.
 A quarter of the city has been entirely de- molshed, and many hundreds of persons are supposed to be buried in the ruins. Definite information Is unobtainable, as the place IS al- most deserted, the inhabitants being com pletely panic stricken and having fled. The river which flows through Serinagur, as well as the Lake of Cashmere, arc crowded with boats, which are pack d with refugees. Many others have sought shelter in hastily-erected huts and tents outside the walls.
 Hundreds of animals have been killed and the destruction of property is enormous. The distress which prevails is appalling, and the dispatches which brought the first intelligence of the disaster contained urgent appeals for assistance.
 At last accounts the seismic disturbances continued unabated and the complete destruc- ton of the city of SerinaRur was imminent
 Serinagur, the devastated city, is in town of some 50,0OO inhabitants, picturesque but dilapidated. It is one of the several capitals of Cashmere and is celebrated for it's prcduc- ton of shawls, silks and altar of roses, and for it's floating gardens upon the lake near by- The place lies 173 miles north of Lahore.
 SERINAaUR, June 3.-The Mohammedan mosque in the little town of Sopur, twenty miles north of Serinagur, was demolished by the recent earthquakes and 200 persons were killed.
 LONDON, June 3.-A later dispatch from Serinagur regarding the earthquake in Cash mere says that fifty soldiers of the garrison of Serinagur were wounded. Forty natives were killed outright, and eighty others were injured Many of the latter will die of their injuries. The palace of the British resident is mass of ruins.
 An official dispatch from Serinagur gives the number of the killed and wounded by the earthquake there on Sunday and Monday last as follows: Killed, 87; wounded, 100.
 Unofficial reports from other points in the the Vale of Cashmere are of such an alarming character as to make it more than likely that the earthquake will prove even more disas- trous in it's effects than the first dispatches stated them to be. Whole cities and towns in sthe Vale" are spoken of as destroyed, and the absence of definite news is attributed to the demolition of the telegraph lines in the general wreck and chaos. In consequence, the maGni- tude of the calamity and the numbers of the killed and wounded are left for the imagina- tion to supply.

MT. Beecher's Torn trousers.

Toward the close of Friday evenings prayer meeting at Plymouth Church Mir. Beecher, shaking his finger gravely at tkose who sat on his left, said to those who sat on his right; ''The edid- cation hasn't been evenly divided tbis evening. My friends on the left have been industriously engaged in laughing at me because have a big hole in the left leg of my pantaloons. Allow me to inform them that these are a new pair. If they were old and I couldn't afford new ones, I should be dreadfully ashamed. As 1t is, am not, but my wife is. In making a call this afternoon my leg came in contact with a barrel and it had a nail in it, hence the tear. I tried to close it with n pin, but the pin dropped out. So 1t is with our sins.
 We can't pin them up. The pin will

No Divorce for nIrs. Sullivan,

In Boston, Judge Allen gave his decision in the Sullivan divorce case dismissing the libel of Mrs. Sullivan. As to the question of intox- ication, the Judge said that the evidence showed that Sullivan had been drunk on sev- eral occasions, but not to that extent as would justify 8 divorce on the ground of gross and confirmed habits of intoxication. The several charges of cruelty Judge Allen did not regard as proved in view of the conflicting evidence. The same rule of cruelty would not apply to Mrs. Sullivan as in the case of a refined wo- man, for before her marriage she had lived with MT. Sullivan as his mistress and was familiar with his habits. Judge Allen further said that the testimony of Mir. Sullivan was unimpeached, but the same could not be said of Mrs. Sullivan, who was contradicted in many Ooinka

Soldier. Bptt,e with n Mob,

A special from Zacatecas, Mexico, says: "An exciting and tragical affair took place here. Antonio Garcia had been in prison for twelve years for the crime of abduction. Proving an incorrigible prisoner, the authorities recently ordered Garcia to be shot. He was taken out of jail for the purpose of being executed. When the soldiers having him under guard reached the Transcoco Ranch, near the city, an organized band of desperate prisoners and friends and relations of Garcia attacked the soldiers and attempted to rescue Garcia. A regular battle followed, in which the prisoner, his brother, his sister and three soldiers were

STILL HARPING.

The Territorial Enquirer continues to
harp about the appointment of Mr.. Ken
ney s'Postmaster of Provo. From abus-
ing MIR. Kenney it has started to abuse
Mr.. Richard Brerton, who is one OF the
Postmaster's bondsmen. The Enquirer
OF the Goth inst. abuses Kenney and
Brerton in almost unmeasured terms.
Among other things it says:
Kenney and Brerton are now chuckling
over the anticipated satisfaction of ousting
the present lady incumbent of the postoffice
from her position on Saturday next. Some
men would feel ashamed to engage in such
contemptibly selfish work, but Kenney and
Brerton are not among that number.
Mr.. Brerton is not the kind OF Il man
that suits the Enquirer at all, the CHIEF
trouble being that he is too much OF Il
man. He is one OF Provo's substantial
citizens, and one of those men who think
and act for themselves, never allowing q
popular uproar to bias his judgment
Mrs. McCauslin, the former Postmstress,
has been good and faithful public ser
want, but the Enquirer's praise OF her is
merely for the sake OF injuring Mr.. Ken
ney. This is the extent Of its well-wish,
ing to the late Postmistress.

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

Three Of the leading physicians of the
town were before the Court yesterday to
testify as to the physical condition of de-
fendant Hampton. Two of these physi-
clans said that to incarcerate Hampton
would be to endanger his health, while
one said it would not. 1t is impossible
for the non-professional to say which view
was right, for when doctors disagree
where shall we look for truth? But this
case yesterday very we'll illustrates
the worth of expert testimony. 1t is
worth no more than the testi-
mony of those who are not experts.
In many OF the mining cases
which have been tried in this Territory,
mining experts OF reputation have been
put upon the witness stand by each party
to the contest and the experts have been
more partisan than the clients and their
attorneys. The testimony OF one expert
being as good rs another and the one re-
futing the testimony OF the other, wherein
is the superiority OF expert testimony
over the evidence Of every day people i?
The testimony OF one expert but counter
acts the testimony OF the other. Expert
testimony may be very well described by
saying that it is scientific "tirst come
first served"

TENACITY OF PURPOSE.

Tenacity Of purpose is a good thing.
Tenacity of purpose is first cousin to
genius. The New York Sun of the 25th
gives a good illustration of it, and We
publish it as an example OF how wicked
the people in the world are. There has
never been an instance OF this tenacity OF
purpose displayed by single Federal
official in Utah SO far as we know:
Ripon, Wisconsin, has Postmaster who
is firmly opposed TO kicking the rascals out.
He is n Republican, and has welcomed his
Democratic successor TO a hospitable boot.
Instead of kicking the rascals out, this ras-
cal kicks the new appointee out, sticks TO
office with tenacity which would be credit
able in n bulldog, and is bound to hold the
fort until United States Marshal forces
him to evacuate.
Malaria has good Staying" powers, and
SO have debt and the book agent, but Re-
publican officeholder beats them all.

REACTIONARY.

A London cablegram says that the
Cabinet have reached decision on the
tariff question. A bill will be introduced
into Parliament authorizing the imposi-
ton OF a duty on imports into Great Brit
ain coming from countries imposing
duty upon English goods. II this bill is
introduced it will be an official recogni-
tion OF the cry which has been heard in
England OF late, but hushed so soon as
heard, for reciprocity. Reciprocity is but
protection in disguise. Some years ago
when there was very considerable
discussion in the English magazines
and reviews rs to the state OF trade
in England and the causes for the
general depression in business, the
doctrine OF reciprocity came to the
front, and among the very first duties adj
vocated by the friends OF reciprocity was
u corn tax TO relieve the British farmer
That very suggestion showed the weak
ness of the entire scheme, for it made it
plain to the dullest intellect that the i'm
position OF duty upon any article for
the protection OF the home producer of
that article was tax levied upon the
consumer to benefit the producer. The
repeal of the Corn Laws saved England
from great distress and from riots that
were fast leading to revolution. To Cob
den and the men who won the fight for
free trade England owes the unprece-
denied prosperity OF half u century, and
it is not at all probable that she will re-
turn to the thraldom from which she
freed herself. 1t is almost certain that
the Commons will throw out any
oil looking to the establishment OF
protective tariff, no matter what
high-sounding name it may take. Could
anything be more specious and alluring
than such high-sounding word as reci-
propityY Reciprocity: the doctrine of
doing unto others as you would wish to
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-12-31

be done by. Beautiful definition and
more than all, it is Christianity intro
duced into commerce. But the word is
as false and deceitful as it is high-sound-
ing and specious, and the Ministry that
will undertake to make it test OF its
strength before the country will have to
abdicate. The great body OF both the
Tory and Liberal parties are of one mind
as to the great worth and true principles
OF free trade, and they will not abandon
their position at anyones bidding. The
bill TO be introduced as the result OF Lord
Iddesleigh's Commission on Trade is
reactionary in every respect. What will
England do for raw material, she being
par e1cellence manufacturer?
