magazine on Archer road, about eight
miles from the center of the city, and ex-
ploded lao, 900 pounds of black powder
and half as much dynamite. Five peo-
pie were killed and fatally injured others
were wounded. The force of the ex-
plosion was terrible and the earth for
miles around seemed to rock. Houses in
the neighborhood came crashing to the
ground from the force of the shock.
Stones weighing one hundred and fifty
pounds were thrown two miles from the
scene of the explosion, which may truth
fully be described as an artificial earth

DISASTROUS EARTHQUAKES IN GREECE.
ATHENS, August 28.-Greece has again
been visited by an earthquake in which
the loss of life reaches the enormous fig
ure OF 300. The village Of Pyrgo and the
town of Philiatra, both situated on the
western coast of Morea, were the chief
sufferers. In Pyrgo not house is left
standing, while Philiatra is almost swept
from the face of the globe. The shocks
were experienced throughout the whole
OF Greece, in greater or less degree.
In the town Of Zante every house was
damaged and the inhabitants fed to the
interior to the open country. Several
towns in Italy were also visited by the
earthquake, but not to any serious ex-
tent.
Violent shocks of earthquake have
been experienced at Alexandria and in
other parts OF Egypt, causing terror
among the natives, but so far as known
doing no serious harm.
A SCIENTISTS OPINION.
WASHINGTON, September l.-Professor
Mendenhall of the Signal Service, who
has made a study of earthquakes for
many years and felt d number of severe
shocks in Japan, says that OF last night,
while not especially severe, was never
theless the worst he ever experienced
He expresses surprise at the wide extent
OF the phenomena, and thinks it likely
that when all the reports are in 1t will
be found that the area affected is larger
than that OF any previous earthquake OF
which there is any record.

LONDON, September 1st.-A second

THE NEWS.

By the barkentine Consuelo which ar
rived yesterday morning from San Fran
cisco, we have received five days later
news, to the I'd instant inclusive.
The most startling news is concerning
the great earthquake wave which has
passed over good half Of the globe from
the southeast to the northwest. In
Greece two villages have been destroyed
and 800 lives are reported lost. Violent
shocks of earthquake have also been felt
at Alexandria and in other parts OF
Egypt, and several towns in Italy have
experienced severe shocks, without Sc
rious damage, however. In the United
States the whole Atlantic seaboard has
been visited with repeated earthquake
shocks. which reached from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Great Lakes, and
westward to the Mississippi river.
Charleston, South Carolina, has been
almost destroyed and the city is shrouded
in gloom. Not hundred houses were
occupied after the disaster and three
fourths OF the city will have to be re-
built.
Besides the earthquake disaster a ter
rible cyclone burst over the city of Chi
cago, during the morning of August 2eth.
Not spot in the city or suburbs es-
caped unframed; while on the west side
of the city, where the storm burst, there
is scarcely house that is not damaged.
During mass in the Jesuit church the
lightning struck near by, stampede
followed and the fremen in response to
an alarm rescued many people from the
windows. While the storm was in its

"some Phases. A Review of Ingersoll

thoroughly logical and reverential answer,
not only to the catch-penny buffoonery of
Colonel Ingersoll, whom Mr. Rothacker
designates as ia phrase -huckster preaching
the gospel of unrest-a Moment brawling
at Eternity" but to all similar ostentaton
and audacity OF unbelief. Yet there is
nothing didoctic-no trace of zealotry dis

THREE WISE MEN.

When three wise men of the House
men so wise as Mr.. Morrison of Illi-
nois, and Mr.. Randall of Pennsylvania,
and Mr.. Hiscock Of New York-eX-
hibit such q contrariety of opinion in
regard to the revenues and expendi-
lures Of the Government for the next
fiscal year, it is no wonder the common
people feel as though they were
cropping in the dark.
Mr.. Hiscock, who has gone over the
whole question with the utmost care,
makes bold to assure the country that
there will be deficit of over $14,-
100000.
Mr.. Morrison, who has thoroughly
familiarized himself with the financial
situation, states what he knows to be n
fact that instead OF there being de-
felt, there will be an increased slr.
plus.
Mr.. Randall who, as chairman of
the Appropriations Committee, ought
to know everything there is to know
about our monetary affairs, steers be-
tween the two with sort of armed
neutrality, and gives 1t as his candid
judgment that the revenues and the
appropriations will come out about
even.
The people "pays their money" and
can "take their choice" Possibly, by
closely watching the vote on calling up
the Tariff bill tomorrow and the sub
sequent proceedings they may dis
cover clue to what is now n seeming
mystery.

A SUMMER HYMN.

Beyond the chestnuts on the lawn,
Two happy girls have made a SWING,
Half hid in shadows of the dawn
Fair types OF Summer and of Spring.
o Spring, Spring, Spring, how fair art thou
An Apriltlme Of smiles and tears
TIL summer with the sunny brow,
Thrice-welcome guest, at length appears
When wood and field are crowned by June
hich garlanded with leat and flower,
Then hearts of men are all in tune
with Summers plenitude OF power.
The farest scenes crowd into view
The deep-bue sky, the purple hills,
Tho meadow flowers of varied hue,
The placid lakes, the sunlit rills.
Then joyfully, In grateful mood
our hearts and voices Join to praise
The great Creator of all good,
The Giyer of glad summer days.
