Masked Men.
BIG SPRINGS, Ten, November 30.-A
most daring robbery was committed at
Morita, the first siding on the line of the
Texas d Pacific Railway, ten miles west of
here at midnight. The only inhabitants
of the place are gang of Chinese section
labOrers and white foreman. At about
midnight the Cinnamon were waited upon
by fifty masked men who demanded their
money. Upon refusing to give up their
hard earned cash, they were one at a time
hung up by their queues until they gave
up their money. The robber, thinking
they had not got all the cash in the camp
returned and tortured one of the Cinnamon
by holding him on n hot stove until his
comrades gave the balance of their money,
some $500 in all. One Celestial had his
queue cut off and was otherwise horribly
tortured. No arrests have been made.

CAUSED BY AN EARTHQUAKE.
A Dam Destroyed and Railroad Tracks
Swept Away.


Swept Away.
COLUMBIA, S. c., November 3O.-The
new dam which has just been finished at
the Langley Cotton Mills, on the line of
the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Rail
road, gave away yesterday afternoon, and
again is almost a complete wreck. The
water rushed through in a flood from the
pond, swept away half mile of the track
of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta
Railway and badly damaged the tracks of
the South Carolina Railway. All the new
and expensive work recently completed on
the former road is totally ruined, and it
will be at least week before the damage
can be repaired. The accident is ascribed
to violent shock of earthquake, which is
reported to have been felt in that locality
Sunday night. 1t is believed that this
shock was sufficiently strong to shake
away the foundation and cause the struc-
ture to break loose. The waters flooded
all the adjacent country and did much
damage.
