Curious Noise

SANDY Hook, N. j., June 12.-At FIVE
minutes after twelve o'clock this morning
there were felt three severe earthquake
shocks, the second following the first closely,
and the third coming little later The
shocks were accompanied by rumbling
sound which appeared to come from the
southeast. Houses were shaken and win.
dows ratified. The people who were awak.
ened by the shocks were of different minds
as to their cause Some said they were due
to an earthquake, while others attributed
them to an explosion. If due to the latter
cause the explosion must have occurred on
a vessel at sea, as no land lies to the south
east. The two lightships are in their proper

A Result of the Labor Troubles.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE number of instru-
ments filed for record in the recorders office
in this city has increased within month in
manner TO occasion a little surprise.
While there has been slight increase in the
number of deeds, the great increase has
been in chattel mortgages. Within six
weeks the usual number has more than
doubled. A loan agent who handles many
such instruments says that he en- attribute
this increase in chattel mortgages to moth
ing else but The strikes aud labor troubles
Many mechanics and laborers who wero out
of employment were also out of money.
Having no other means Of raising cash with
which to purchase the necessaries of life
and pay rent, they were forced 10 borrow
money and give chattcl mortgages upon
their household goods. By reference to the
record Of chattel mortgages it is seen
that within one week there has been
397 instruments of this class record
ed. They represented a total valua-
ton OF 800 $50, or an average Of about S25l.
OF theac instruments there were 253 which
were mortgages upon furniture, such as
household goods, with an occasional piano
Included Very few Of the furniture mort
cages repre- santed an amount in excess of
800 and the greater number were for very
small sums. The attention Of county
commissioner was called to these facts,
when he remarked that it meant a great
deal moro than the mere fact that men were
out of employment and out Of money. 1t
would show itself later in the season, when
cold weather set in in all unusually heavy de-
mand upon the county agent for assistance.
Mon could get along some way in The sum-
mer but when winter came the increased
demand upon the county for fuel, bread
meat and help generally would probably be
50 per cent. greater than it was last winter.

AS THE tariff on the raw material which
enters into the composition of American
manufactures is so great as to make it ut
terly impossible for those manufactures to
compete in the markets of the world with
those of England, where such material is
free, it is no wonder that the wiser of the
English people hope for the continuance of
the existing tariff in this country, and that
American manufactures can be found no
where except in American markets, while
free trade England is the store house from
which the world obtains its supply Of man
ufactured articles.

Alexandria has been for several years
past probably the only city of its size in the
country withouta well organized brass band !,
in consequence of which our military com.
pany and social organizations pay large
sums annually for music from other cities.
This should not be the case. Let some en-.
terprsing musician come TO the front and
prove his public spirit by organizing band
at once. 1t is known that there is plenty
of good material at home which only needs
development. J.

Outrage and Robbery.

Especial dispatch TO the Alexandria GAZETTE.)
FREDERICKSBURG, June i2.-The resi-
dence of Mr.. w. S. E. Waller, in this county,
was entered last night about ten o'clock, and
himself and sister (both aged people and
near relatives OF Judge Robert E. Waller)
terribly beaten, and the premises robbed
of about two hundred dollars and some
jewelry. 1t is believed that Miss Waller
will certainly die. Mr.. Waller has recovered
sufficiently to give an account of the affair,
and gives names of two women as the per-
petrators of this horrible affair. The whole
county is being secured by posse of citi-
zens, but up to this time the parties have
not been apprebended. Sheriff Harris is,
it is said, on the track of the robbers. 1t is
asserted that if they are caught Judge
Lynch will Immediately hold court.

Imnortant Decision.

CHICAGO, Juno ia special dispatch
from Milwaukee, Wis, says: An important
decision has baen rendered in the U. S. dis
trict court in the case of Salentine vs. The
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company Of
New York. The case hinged upon the con-
struction of a clause in the policy on the life
Of Peter Sa!entine. Salentine committed sui.
eide on January 9Th, 1884. Notice and
proof of his death were received by the
company on January %, 1884. Attached to
them, in accordance with the requirements
of the company, was copy of the verdict
found ut the coroner's inquest, being to the
effect that the deceased came to bis death by
hanging himself while laboring under fit
of insanity. The company retained the pa
pers and wrote its agent in Milwaukee that
the directors had decided that the case came
under the insane clause, and the company
would pay the premiums. This notice,
however, was never communicated to the
beneficiary, but in letter written in the
following May to the administrator Of the
estate the company referred him to the
agent for information with regard to such
decision. On the trial it was contended that
the company need make no election or option
until suit. The court so held at that time, but
now upon a motion for new trial, it is held
that it was the duty of the company, having
received the proofs without objection, to
have exercised IN election and made a
decision within sixty days.

authority that the new Bishop of Whining

Gently nominated by the Pope, as his Holt
ness has not had time yet to act upon the

thought that the new bishops are not to fill
dioceses in the United States, but are ap-
pointed to dioceses in other parts of Amer
lea. Invitations will be sent to all the arch
bishops and bishops of the continent to be
present at the cathedral in Baltimore on

The DEBATE in the Senate on the bill TO
declare forfeit the unearned lands OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad has shown that
during the time the republicans had control
of the Government more land than ID con-
tanned in the German Empire has been taken
away from the public domain and given to
railroad companies, to whom it has been
worth, at the lowest estimated value, more
than eight hundred million dollars. The
public lands belong to the whole people OF
the country, and why sixteen dollars worth
of those lands has been taken from every
man. woman and child in the country, and
given to rich corporations, is what only the
republicans can tell, and what they should
be held responsible for by the people they
have robbed.

applicant for a position on that force if his
application be granted, and the closing ex'

cause the white graduates refuse to appear

that the people of New York and Vincennes
hate the few negroes who live among them'
nor points to the instances referred 10 10
support of that assertion. There Is natu-

A Small Fire, Which Might HavO Been n
Large One.

On Thursday morning about 1850 o'clock, a fire
was discovered IN the rear of Mr.. Justice Judd's
new building, Fort Street, in a shed where num-
Der of barrels containing lime we're stored. Fortu-
nately the flames were discovered by Hesekiah
Aea, native compostor in the Bulletin office, who
promptly gave the alarm, and Immediately put to
work with Mr. d. Logan editor of the Herald, and
Mr.. D. Travis, to put the fire out. length OF
hose, used by the builders, was fortunately at
hand, aud bv these gentlemen's vigorous efforts
the flames were under subsection by the time the
fire brigade was on the ground. The general alarm
sounded a few minutes after the fire was seen and
the companies responded, first by Pacific Hose,
followed by No l, but by this time their services
were not required as the fire entirely subdued
Had this fire not been fortunately discovered il is
hard to tell what the result might have been, the
surroundings were of an inhamable nature and
once ignited would soon have spread to Merchant
Street, and thence to Wilder's lumber yard, ex-
tending through to Queen Street-probably giving
the Fire Laddies " all they could manage to sup
press the flames.
The fire is supposed to have originated from the
rain saturating portion of the lime.

HUMBUe. Look at the papers and see
what they say. You arrest kwon and
Lung for playing dominoes, or cards, or
what not. Serve them right they are only
Cinnamon.
We see the other side of the shield.
Billiard players have played publicly and
it has been known that they played for a
stake Men go there to see the sport and
back their opinion for SIS, $40, or 500. No
one thinks of arTesting them. High officials
play poker on Sunday and every other day.
No one thinks of arresting them. Pools
are sold and will be sold for horse races.
Nobody arrests either the sellers or buyers,
We would be thoroughly understood in
this matter, What we fight Is HUAIBUG. Our
opinion on Chinese is known. Our private
predictions are in favor of all kinds OF
sport which is fair, and we enjoy bet,
win or lose We enjoy billiards, horse
racing, boat racing, etc, etc. But we hate
HUMBUG.
Why should Kwon and Lung be hauled
before Judge Biekerton and fined for their
game of dominoes, when Attorney-Gen-
erals and Ministers may play and bet as
they please, under the nose OF the pohce
authorities, and escape scot free?
We will admit that Chinese gambling is
vicious, that the cook who earns So week
has no business to lose it, and then rob his
master of tea and sugar to try and help
himself; but is he much worse than the
clerk who stakes his 500 month against
the tiger and finds he has to make up the
deficiency out of his masters till, and YET
the latter has happened in Honolulu
though frequently hushed up?
Either do one thing or the other. Make
real raids on real gambling, and the GA
zETTE will applaud; but what is being now
done, and what is openly winked at de
serves no other name than what we have
| dubbed it with-HUMBUG!

The result Of putting inefficient, worth
less men into positions of Importance Is
shown by an account published in these
columns to-day. What right had the tax
collector Of Mololai to prevent a man from
leaving the Island of Molokai because he
had not paid his taxes? We are sincerely
sorry that the gentleman did not permit
himself to be detained. He would have had
an excellent suit for damages against the
Government. If this kind of thing goes
on. II Will not be very long before there Is
an appeal to some foreign commissioner
for protection. The result of this would
be thorough investigation on the part OF
foreign powers, and then the whole fabric
of faIsehood, which has been built up by
W. NJ. Gibson, viii collapse like pack OF
cards. Hawaiian independence would be
wrecked. A new regime would be inaugur
ated. Where would those be who now
think themselves well off The step from
power to utter insignifcance is not far. 1t
would be well to remember that the Egypt
ian always had a skeleton at his feasts.
The skeleton Is very large and ugly at the
