THE SPANISH EARTHQUAKES.

Visit to Granada-The City Not Much DAM
aged--Distress in the Country.
LONDON, Jan. IA special from Granada,
Spain says: l arrived here at o'clock this
evening The crowds of people who were about
looked cheerful and happy. for the day was
faultless and tempted the indolent natives to the
hillsides. There they basked in the sun. and
appeared as if they cared but little what raging
fires beneath the surface of the earth were in
store for them. But twenty minutes later the
earth trembed beneath our feet, and sensation
of incipient sea sickness told that there was an
other shock of earthquake, from which the city
had been free since Saturday
The real damage in this city was slight At
the city prison, however, the convicts attempted
to take advantage of the excitement incident to
the shock and escape, but two companies of
soldiers formed a Gordon round the jail. Later
in the evening, the Governor of the Province
Senior Jaudenes, received a telegram from Mot
I'll, about thirty miles distant on the seacoast,
stating that the Jail there had been thrown
down by the same shock which was felt here, to-
gether with three other buildings which had
been damaged by previous shocks. These
shocks had been of almost daily occurrence since
the commencement of Christmas night.
CeVerai small naYnletS near Ry the town of
Aibunuelas have disappeared almost entirely
nothing remaining visible except portion Of a
church-spire Alhama was also in dire distress
A large portion of the town was entirely de-
stroyed. Many of the most severely wounded
have been brought here, aud the remaining in
habitants are living as best they in the ad-
jacent fields. Their wants are partially sup
piled by the Governor, who labors under the dis-
iculty of being entirely uuprepared for such
great and widespread disaster. To-day he is 60
ing to Albunuelas to give his personal attention
to the needs of his people, and has invited me 10
accompany him on his errand of mercy.
The King is expected here to-day. In this city
/ have found the people more scared than hurt,
for nearly all the wealthy families are living in
public squares, in stilyconstructed shanties of
the crudest description. Yet the damage already
done to property has been but slight Some
sideration should be had for those who know
they are living on an active volcano At nearly
every station on this railroad between this city
and Bobadilla found almost all cars not active
ly engaged in the traffic inhabited by terror
stricken or homeless refugees from hamlets
ruined beyond recognition.

that after fifty years of arduous public SERVICE

Regarding Mr.. Gladstone, Truth gives new

by the heart not being able to force sufficient

MINOR MENTION.
Mr.. Blaine May BE Invited to Deliver the
Washington Monument Grafton.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE Washington Mon
ument Association may yet find way out of the
quandary in which Mr.. Winthrop's illness has
placed them, by inviting Mr. James G. Blaine to
deliver the dedicatory oration. This idea has
taken root of late on account of Blaine's ac-
knowledged abilities, his familiarity with history
in general, and the New England character in
particular, especially it is shown in the early
records of the Revolution, and his fondness for
talking about it, in connection with the struggle
in which Washington was the great leader
If Blaine should be selected the grafton would
doubtless be the effort of his life.

A Confusion of Figures.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7-Congressman Lamb,
of Indiana, called the attention of the Journal
correspondent this afternoon, to the fact that
the editor of the Journal, in his editorial com:
ment, printed yesterday, upon the vote on the
Mexican pension bill in the House on Monday,
got his figures confused with those of the vote
on the bankruptcy bill. The vote mentioned in
the editorial as applying to the Mexican pension
bill was that upon the bankruptcy bill. Congress
man English says every Indiana member in the
city voted against the bankruptcy bill.

For city of its size Lancaster probably
contains as many curious people as any in

Yesterday the curious people had picnic.
A fashionable wedding was held in the He
brew synagogue on East Orange street at
$40, but long before that time a large crowd
had assembled In front of the church, filling
the pavements and even the streets. They
waited patiently for an hour or more until the
entire ceremony was concluded, and only a
dynamite cartridge could have driven them
away. The assembly was largely made mp
| of females of all ages and stations. Shop
| girls left their customers, domestics failed to
| finish getting their suppers, and school chill
| dren forgot all about their lessons. They
| were all bent upon gaping M tne pflua party
| and cared little for tho time lost or the conse

| have erected stand near the church and
reaped rich harvest by charging persons to
| see the outside of wedding.
This is the case with every affair of the
kind i'm Lancaster, and il some of the persons
who stand among the crowd would know
how ridiculous they make themselves, in the
| eyes of those less curious the attendance
| would not be so large. But so IL goes in Ian

Mr.. Mccartney is well-known by many

When a lad of fifteen, Amos entered the
hardware store of NJ. o. Kline, on North
Queen street. and subsequently the store
of Col. MAYER. While there engaged in
lSio, the "California fever" broke out and a
number of young Lancastrians went to seek
their fortunes in the land of gold. The
glowing accounts they sent home induced
others TO follow year or two later. John
Slaughter was one of them and he took
young Amos Mccartney with him, paying
his way out and promising to send him
home If he did not like the country A few
years afterwards, Mccartney, who had been
quite successful in business, returned to
Lancaster and married Miss Dollie Killinger,

Friendly Feeling.

The glaring fact that Helena desires to
be connected by a railroad to Butte does
not meet with warm response from the
biggest mining camp in the world The
alliance does not seem to be the wish of
Butte If the Inter-Mountain voices the
sentiments Of that camp:
"The talk about building a railroad
from Helena to Butte by way of Ten
Mile and along the ridge of the Rocky
mountains has gone far enough The
experience of the Northern Pacific COM
pany in crossing the Mullan divide
should serve as solemn warning in re-
gard to the building Of railroads over
mountain peaks. Besides there is no
trade between Butte and Helena which
would justify the construction of an in
dependent line between the two cities
through the country indicated, and an
other and all important drawback is that
the necessary money could not be raised.
The whole scheme is an invention of the
Herald to make it appear that the in
creasing business of the capital demands
a new railroad and it is intended ais an
offset to the project of building the Gar
rison branch to Butte, which is really
sound and meritorious scheme"

CHARLES wright Innocent.


Deputy Sheriff Conley, Of Miles City,
who passed through Omaha August 9th,
on his way home from Laramie, Wy.
where he deposited Charles Wright. alias
Sim Wann. in the penitentiary on a
charge of being the leader of the gang of
desperados who, in 1878, attempted to
wreck a Union Pacific passenger train
near Rawlins. and afterwards killed two
men, Widdowfield and Vincent, who
were trailing them, says that the prison
er, after all, is not the man wanted.
Former acquaintance. who are reliable
men, have identified him as certainly
not being Sim Wann. One Of these par
ties recognized him as man whom he
had known in Iowa since boyhood, and
another identified him as man who
used to work for him near Cheyenne.
The prisoner is evidently innocent of
any crime committed in Wyoming, and
will be discharged. He was recently
tried for murder under the name Of
Charles Wright in Montana. but was
acquitted on the ground Of self-defense.
Had all the officers not stopped off at
Laramie on last Friday night the vlgi-
lantes from Rawlins, VINO boarded the
train at Carbon, would in all probability
have lynched the prisoner, as they
did two other members of Sim Wann's
gang.

Really IN Earnest.

The Jobbers of st. Paul are really in
earnest about providing for their COM
mercial city the means of rail commune

is led to express itself as follows
s'We do not know what compromises

business on its route to the greed of a

said that the Union Pacific pays the
Northern Pacific large sum yearly to
keep out of Butte. But no bribe, how
ever large, can justify the neglect of the
Northern Pacific to provide the business
communities along it's line with adequr

Joshua WhItcOmD. .

Joshua Whitcomb" was presented on
the 18th to very large audience, by
Denman Thompson and his admirably
selected company. "Uncle Josh" is one
of those creations of the stage which has
become household word like Jeffer-
sons "Trip Van Winkle." Thompson's
creation of "Uncle Josh" is something
more than acting it is the perfection of
dramatic art. When the Yankee farmer
is on the stage we are at once surround
ed by rural aroma redolent of corn
fields, green lanes and the farm house.
We don't see The actor. 1t is "Uncle
JOSH himself in flesh and blood who
has been suddenly transported from his
Swanzey home to the boards of the the
ater Everything that Thompson does
Is apparently without art. It is the per
feet naturalness and fidelity to nature
which constitutes the great charm of his
impersonation. And yet, although the
character sits as it were easily upon him,
what care and attention the actor has
bestowed upon the elaboration of all the
detaiIs! There is not single move
ment or gesture of Uncle Josh's which
does not partake Of the Yankee farmer.
Don. Thompson is today one of the
greatest character-actors on the stage.
His "Uncle JOSH should be seen by
everyone who appreciates finished and
perfect acting. Apart even from this
consideration, Uncle Josh is such a low
able character. There is a refreshing
manliness about him which captivates
the theater-goers who have become
nauseated with so many unreal stage
sketches. Uncle Josh is living fac
siraile and is natures handiwork, and
therefore above all art The company
which supports Mr.. Thompson is an ex-
cellen one. Each member seems to
have been selected with special refer
ence to the character he or sne plays.
and certainly none could be improved
upon. The ladies dresses were rich and
and elegant, while the diamonds worn
by them cost over $4,000.

more direct ard far shorter access to the
seaboard, and surrenders it to the tender
mercies of a foreign and distant corpor-
poration which can only do its carrying
business by long and circuitous route,
over cheap and niggardly narrow gnage
line. 1t is public wrong to permit the
Union Pacific to extort extravagant
prices for this inadequate service Inde-
pendent Of its duty to the public, the
Northern Pacific management owes it to
its stockholders not to surrender the
most valuable source of revenue on its
route to rival corporation which has
no legitimate claim to even a share of it.
The business men of St. Paul and Mime
apolis have right to demand of the
Northern Pacific that egress which the
richest market of the Northwest offers
for their goods, OF which they are now
deprived. That the business men of
Butte are intensely in earnest in their
desire for the extension of the North
ern Pacific to that city goes without say
