Horrible.

This forenoon word was brought to town that MT. Ed Richards, who was working in the Mamie mine, Lad been instantly killed by an explosion of gi- ant powder. Word was immediately sent to Coroner Dean, who procured team and went to the scene of the disaster, and procurel the body aad brought 1t into town. A reporter of THE TOMBSTONE haStened to the morgne and viewed the body of the unfortunate man. As near as colll be ascertained it seems that Mir. Rich ards had gone dowA the shaft and set off two Elasts, and in coming up the ladder it seems that he had in tine bosom of his shirt some caps or car tridges, and must have struck against some hard substance, exploding the caps or cartridges. From the neck down 10 the hips the body was con- pletely torn to pIeces, the remnants of the stomach, heart and intestines, what was left of them, heinz filled with rocks and gravel, and the only thing holding the face and arms 10 the trunk of the body was the spinal column. As no witnesses 10 the death were in town cur reporter could glean nothing further; but as the paper goes to the report of the coroner'S jury is appended.
 At a coroner'S inquest held on the body of Edward Richards at the coro ner's office, in the city of Tomb tone, county of Cochise, Territory of Ari- zona, on the 20th day of October, 1886, before J. c. Dean, the following evidence was given:

Movements.
appreciation

We are accustomed to think Of the
land of the earth as something solid
and fixed and, as testimonial of this
impression, ,theLatin phraseterra .frplo,
firm land or solid ground, has been nat
uralized in the languages Of nearly all
civilized people. On the other hand,
we speak of water as unsuitable. But
the geological history of the earth and
themore careful observations of modern
times haye taught us that these ideas
do not correctly represent the qualities
Of the land-masses and water-masses Of
the globe as compared with one anoth-
er. The ancient shore marks on the
continents and the phenomena Of eleva-
tion and subsistence that have been OBJ
served in historic times, confirming
their evidence, show that the land and
the ocean are continually changing
their leyel as to one another; and it has
further been made evident, by expert
ment, as well as by a priori reasoning,
that it is not the ocean that changes,
but the land which undergoes alternate
movements of elevation and depression.
An earthquake-shocki is q phenomenon
well adapted to destroy the faith OF any
person who feels one in the fiXedneSs Of
the earth; and such, by the evidence, is
| the effect for the time on all who exper-
ience these shocks. Even the light pull
sations which sometimes pass over
parts OF theUnited States occasion pan.
ic and excite momentary impression
that everything is falling over or sink
ing away;while the more violent shocks
that are felt IN earthquake-infested
countries produce indescribable terror
and such catastrophies as those historl-
cal earthquakes of Lisbon and Caracas,
and the more recent ones OF Ischi-and
the Straight Of Sunda amodnt tea le-
monstration that the reason for such
terrors is real, and tnat the continents
also can not escape the general law OF
change and perishability. IN
Earth-movements- h G name b y
which these phenomena may be most
conveniently described-are various,
and comprise, so far as they are now
considered, earthquakes, or sudden
violent moyements of the ground
earth-tremors or minute movements
which usually escape attention by the
smallness of their amplitude; earth
pulsations, or movements which are
overlooked on account of the length Of
their period !; and earth oscillations or
movements of long period and large am
plitude-like the shifting of levels OF
ADMINISTRATION attract attention
from their geological Importance. Some
of these movements have only recently
begun to attract attention. They are
all intimately associated in their occur
renee and their origin. = Popular

Judge Davis and the Railroad
Lawyers.

Phocion Howard tells us . story i'll
ustratiye of the late JudgeDavid Dayis'
manner of dealing with the technical
ly" lawful. A railroad had been sur.
veyed through Vermillion county some
time before and had taken a deed for
an innocent old chaps farm, giving
him in payment for it lot of stock
which was represented to be of par val
ue. The farmer afterward found that
the stock was almost if not quite value
less and brought suit in the federal
court to have the deed set aside and his
farm returned to him. The case came
before Judge Dayis. The railroad CON-
pany had two or three of the shrewdest
attorneys to be had, while the plaintiff
was represented by green country
lawyer. 1t was evident from the start
that the defendant'sla awyers would out
general the countryman at every turn,
and so they did until the evidence was
all in and the case submitted for decis-
ion.
Gentlemen said Judge Davis, Il
am familiar with the laws governing
this case and with all the statues touch
ing such cases, but l know Of no law
to prevent railroad company from
stealing a mans farm
The agent OF the defendant-a man
named Griggs-whispered to one of his
attorneys that it was all right. The
attorneys looked at each other with
confident winks and settled back to
hear the decision in their favor.

road company from stealing a mans
