SEVEN CREMATED.
A Sickening Calamity in a Penn.
sylvania Town.
Roasted Alive In Their Beds In the Second
Story of a Railroad Shanty.

WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, Sept. Sword has
been received here of a sickening calamity
which occurred about midnight last night,
five miles and half above Jamestown, on
the line of the Williamsport and North
Branch railroad where large number of
Hungarian laborers are employed on an
extension Of the road. A shanty, in which
over twenty of these men lodged, caught
fire last night from the overturning Of q
stove while the men were asleep. Sixteen
men slept on the second floor. Those on
the first floor and all on the second floor but
seven succeeded in getting out. The others
were left to their fate and were roasted
alive in the burning shanty. Their charred
remains were afterward found in the ruins
The men who escaped were so panic
stricken that they made no efforts to save
their companions. The remains of the
seven dead were removed to Jamestown to
await the arrival of the coroner from La
porte. The names of the victims have not
yet been received. A Hungarian named
Jeninsky was murdered and his body hid
den under a shanty on the same railroad
at Elklick. A short time since, when the
shanty was torn down, portions of human
remains were found in a quantity Of
bloody straw. The men who occupied the
shanty have disappeared.

RUIN AND DEATH.
Two-Thirds Of Charleston, s. O.,
Destroyed by an Earth
quake.
Perhaps Forty People Killed and Scores
More Wounded-Damage Estimated
at Between Eight and Ten
Million Dollars.

CHARLESTON, S, c., Sept. IAN earthquake
such as has never before been known in the
history of this city, swept over Charleston
last night, shortly after 10 o'clock The
city is wrecked, the streets are incumbered
with masses of fallen bricks and tangled
telegraph and telephone wires, and up to
an early hour it was almost impossible to
pass from one part Of the city to another.
The first shock was by far the most severe.
Most of the people, with their families,
passed the night in the streets,
which even this morning are
crowded with people, afraid to re-enter
their homes. More than sixty persons
killed and wounded, chiefly colored. Meet
ing street, from Broad to Hasel is a wreck,
and is lined with unfortunates. To add to
the horror of the scene many fires broke
out, and we're Intellectually fought by the
fire department. The night was hideous
with the groans of the dying, the screams
of the wounded and the prayers of the un-
injured. Up to 10 a. H.. to-day there had
been ten distinct shocks since 2.2O this
morning. St. Michael's Church and
st. Phillips Church, two of the most
historic churches in the city, are in
ruins, as is also the Hibernian Hall.
The police station and many other public
anu lully tWO-Uui I'D VI uiO iSol-
dences of the city, are uninhabitable-
wrecked either totally or partially 1t is i'm
possible at this time to give correct esti-
mate of the casualties. 1t is expected that
between fifty and one hundred persons have
been killed and several hundred wounded.
AT the time of the first shock fires broke out
in five different places in the city. About
twenty houses were destroyed by
fire. Scarcely one hundred houses
in the city are occupied at
this time. Hardly house in the city es--
capped Injury, and many are SO shaken and
cracked that hard blow would bring them
to the ground. Fissures in the earth are
noticed, from which a fine sand, apparently
from great depth, exudes A sulphurous
smell is very noticeable. The loss by fire
and earthquake can not be accurately esti-
mated, but can be placed safely at $780,
600, and may possibly reach double that
amount,

DEsOLArION.
Tbs Sad Scenes That Meet the Eye in
Charleston.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 2-The number
of deaths from the earthquake up to date
is sixty-one, and out of the hundreds
wounded more will probably die. The
wreck of the city is pretty complete, and
the damage will be enormous. There are
very few houses of brick in the city I'M
injured, and hundreds of buildings that
appear comparatively unframed, are SO
shaken they will have to come down. This
makes it difficult to estimate the damage
but it is not putting it too strong to say that
Charleston, with all the experiences of
bombardment and cyclone, was never SO
badly shattered as now. The sight is sad
one The people, after the terror of their
experience, are nervous and expectant;
they are camped in the public squares and
parks, very few venturing into houses, and
none into brick or stone buildings. The
shocks still continue, quite severe one
being felt at o'clock this evening, which
sent what few people were under cover
into the street. There was disagreeable
sulphurous smell in the air, which has been
noticed since the beginning of the shocks.
At Summerville the shocks continued but
few minutes apart and heavy rumbling
sounds precedes and accompanies each
shock Fissures have opened in the earth
at Summerville and other places. The city
and country surrounding is an immense
camp, nearly all the people living in
improvised tents or sleeping in covered
wagons. The sight along the railroad from
Summerville to Charleston is strange
one; immense fires of pitch-pine lighting
up the scene all along the route. The sem
sation is strangely terrifying, and ono
must know something of it personally to
fully appreciate the horrors Of the expert
ence these people have been subjected to,
and the wild scenes that have been
enacted here. There is no certainty
for the future There is, of course,
hope that the worst is passed,
and as long as the disturbances continue
the people live in fear and trembling. The
center of the disturbance seems to be at
Summerville, pretty town used good
deal for a summer resort by Charleston
people, and lying on the S. c. railway,
twenty seven miles away. A strange oc-
.currence was the twisting of the railroad
there by the earthquake, and the moving
of the track at one place literally three or
four feet.

A Sunday In Belfast.

6BLFAsT, Sept "a mob attacked and
severely boat four pol icemen at Bally-
macarett, suburb of Belfast to-day. The
police broke away from the crowd and took
refuge in house. The mob followed them,
and, in their effort to recapture the police
men, completely wrecked the house. For
tunately for the policemen, the military ar
riven on the spot in season to rescue them
and scatter the mob. Two of the leaders of
the rioters were arrested. An Orange
funeral was attacked by Catholics to-day
Orangemen broke ranks and retaliated
upon the Catholics seriously injuring sew
eral of them. The police quieted the dis
order and drove the Catholic party away

Massacre of Christians.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 1,-Advices from Ching
Too-Foo, the chief city of the province Of
Sechuen, state that the natives of the east
ern part of that province and those Of
Northern Cochin China, have risen against
the Christians and are massacreing them
and destroying their property. The
active persecution is attributed to
the imprudence of the English
and American missionaries. in
Cochin China alone fifty Christians have
been killed, their houses burned and their
farms destroyed. In Sechuen a general
massacre of Christians is reported to be in
progress, and they are killed wherever
found. 1t is said that whole villages occu-
pied by Christians have been destroyed,
and that all lands occupied by the profess
sors of that faith are being devastated

IOWA'S CURIOSITY.
The Great Well Still Flowing, and Efforts
to Plug 1t Prove Unavailing.

to Plug 1t Prove Unavailing.
BELLE PLAIN, IA, Sept. 5.-The great we'll
still flows. For short time last eveningit
was partially shut off. The great cone,
having been enlarged to thirty-six inches
was lowered full of sand. 1t went easily
for sixty feet, when it became necessary to
drive it, and the 1,6OO-pound hammer was
applied to the five-inch pipe connected with
the cone. This pipe stood thirty feet above
the surface. After few strokes had been
given, the flow of water was so much dimin-
ished that the people began to shake hands
and many bags of sand were thrown in to
give additional weight to the cone to Gil up
the apertures. The big hammer was again
applied and after few strokes the pipe
shot down into the water like rocket does
upward. A swift gush of water, gurgle
and the hopes of all were buried out of
sight with the cone and its connecting pipe.
The sixteen-inch pipe heretofore mentioned
is at the bottom, and the belief is that the
cone has gone down until it struck. That
would leave it 100 feet from the bottom and
The upper end forty feet from the surface.

Formation of the Earth.

LONDON, Sept Principal Dawson, OF
McGill College, Montreal, delivered the
Presidential address before the British AS
ISOLATION in the town hall, Birmingham,
this evening, dealing mainly with the sub.
ject of the geological formation of the bed
of the Atlantic, and the climatic influences
on the distribution of water on the surface
of the globe. He favored the theory that
the kernel of the earth is solid, but that
there is liquid between the kernel and sur
face. The crust of the earth, he said, is
thicker and stronger than ever, affording
of ocean and continent is an example of
the progressive design equally with history
of living beings.
