THE EARTHQUAKE.
The Towns OF Albania and Santa Cruz
Entirely Destroyed.

MADRID, December 3O.--Fresh details re-
ceived from the districts in which the
earthquake shock was severest add new
horrors to the great calamity. At Nerja,
town of 5000 people, in the Provinces of
Malaga, the earthquake was followed by
hurricane. This finished the destruction
of many houses that had already been
brought to the brink of ruin by the
previous shock. The inhabitants fled
in terror from their houses and camped
outside the town. Much suffering was
caused by the scarcity of provision. Inc
alarm in Malaga is now subsiding, and af-
fairs will soon resume the ordinary course.
At Granada, to-day, the TIE Deum was sung
and prayers offered for the cessation of the
earthquake. At Priego. Province of
Cordova, shocks came while the theater
was crowded with people: A ter
rible panic followed. Many per.
sons jumped from the galleries and
from windows upon the crowd below. Two
were killed outright, and forty more
or less seriously injured. At Malaga, two
lofty chimneys of the gas-works fell. Pa
tients in the hospital were so terrified
that they forgot their maladies, and
fed to the open air. Convicts in prions
refused to enter their cells, and re-
mained all night in the courtyard. Al
hama and Santa Cruz were completely de-
stroyed. Soldiers are now clearing up the
ruins in search of corpses which are found
in large numbers, many of them horribly,
disfgured. The number of persons killed
is unknown. There is much distress
among survivors, who ask relief. AT
Albunnelas two hundred persons were inju.,
ed. From the ruined houses one hundred
bodies have been so far recovered. Inc
barracks at Lola, Province of Granada
were ruined At Zaffarpa, town not M Mial
from Lola, fifty persons perished. The
walls of all churches in Malaga were
cracked by the earthquake. Several
houses in Canillas were de
stroyed, and many persons killed
| Five persons were killed ant
several injured at Motifs, sixteen houses
were destroyed at Laiaron, and numerous
houses were demolished and lives lost il
other villages. Fifty corpses were foun(

Sensational Attempt at Suicide.

CINCINNATI, December 30.-St. George
Bestl a yonng man about twenty seven
yearb of age, found guilty in the United
Stat9s Court of using the mails for giving
information where immoral books could be
had, Received a sentence of three years at
for nt1na N,ssnfmraku, Rest, ON
receiving his sentelce, turned as pale as
corpAe and staggered back to his seat where
he sat for few moments. Best then OBJ
tanned permission TO step to one side of the
courtroom to speak to his wife and two
sisters, who with blanched faces heard the
awful sentence which tore him from their
arms. The prisoner was observed to say
few words to his sobbing family, and then
the court-r room was filled with wild shrieks,
and his wife threw herself upon his neck
and cried: ooh, my husband, what have
you done" A deputy startled by the
cries of the woman, ran over to the little
group and discovered that Best held in his
hand small empty bottle, and it dawned
upon him at once that the man had taken
poison. The prisoner was taken to the
grand jury room and physicians summon
ed, who did everything to relieve the
slowly dying man. The wife and sister re-
NAMED beside the man, and the other sis
ter retired to corner of the room and
prayed to heaven for her brothers life. A
| quantity of warm water was pumped into
| the stomach of the would-be suicide. Two
large glasses of hot coffee, into which a
white powder was put, was given to Best
who drank them both down. Then he
vomited, and was, - far as human skill
| could do, saved.

AN ILL-FATED FAMILY.
Six Members of the Green Family
Meet With Violent Deaths.
The Outline of q Body Drawn In Blood
Upon an Elevator at Chicago.

CHICAGO, ILLS. January 1.-The body of
Captain Andrew Green, of the exploded
tug Admiral, was found early this morn
ing about sixty feet from the scene of the
accident. The right arm being imbedded
in the ice, kept the body aAoat. The left
leg was broken just below the knee, the
right cheek was manged and the right
shoulder badly crushed. The. body of the
fireman, William Bowen, which was re-
covered on Wednesday night, was thrown
over one hundred feet, striking
the wall of Elevator D at
an elevation of seventy five feet
from the ground. The outline of the body
in blood was imprinted on the wall where
it struck. Careful search among the lum-
er-piles in the vicinity was made for the
body of the missing engineer, and the
river was carefully dragged, but only
shreds of his clothing could be found.
The history of the Green family is sor-
rowful one. The father in the year 1865
had been in the country, and when return
ing home in the evening jumped from the
train at West Chicago avenue.
He was encountered with a
basket of eggs, and, falling under the
wheels, was instantly killed. The follow
ing year son, Eugene Green, who was cap
tain of the tug Red Jacket, was blown up
with the tug at Clark street, while vessel
was being towed out. Beside Eugene, two
men were killed. Eugene's body
was afterward found in the river
