tcricS and other plNcc5 around the city, and
succeeded in making q number of interest

Among them was the shifting of the
enormous gumo shed mt Ii cSouth Carolina

shed is 400 feet long by 50 wide. and is
supported on bCnls which rest on piles.
The building contained about 1900 tons Of
guano at the time OF the earthquake, and
yet, Notwithstanding its great size and
weight, the entire structure was shifted )
feet s. inches towards the southeast, thus
showing the vast energy manifested by The
earth wave.
Another discovery Of interest, as show

brick casing or we'll of the gas reservoir on
Washington street, although buried in the
ground, had been forced eight inches to-
wards the southeast and had then rccoilcd
into its original position. The evidence of
its displacement was found imam opening or

WhtPpless Sermon to the Indians.
The White Earth reservation, twenty
two miles north of Detroit station, Northern
Pacific railroad, is, as is well known,
beautiful tract of country, diversified with
groves, smiling prairies, countless lakes,
and beautiful forests. 1t is naturally par
adise either for the noble red man or the
white man. The soil is excellent, the ele-
walton the third highest in the state, the
air clear and invigorating. Probably the
gem and most beautiful part of the whole
reservation is the point where the Episco-
pal church of st. COLUMBIA stands. It is
on a beautiful round wooded hill near
the roadside, one mile beyond the agency,
and seems a show-place for a fine
structure designed by Dame Nature herself.
The hill of stone, surmounted by the spire,
seems natural completion of the hill it.

CHICAGO, July 25.-Joseph Frank, an architect, was assaulted by William Mueller and his wife as the result of a misunder- standing. A short time ago Mueller began the erection of a wooden house and was taken before justice for violating the building or dinance. Mueller supposed that Frank had informed on him and yesterday approached him. Mueller had hatchet, while his wife accompanied him carrying heavy iron bar. Mueller accused Frank of informing on him, which Frank denied. The men had some words, when they clinched and were soon rolling on the grass. Mrs. Mueller seized the hatchet carried by her husband and struck Frank, nearly severing the under jaw. She 8 so struck him several times about the neck, wounding him seriously.

Ihls negro with the scared back said that he left as soon as he could and would never return to that section again. The negroes are leav- ing as fast as they can get away. Many crops have been abandoned because of the flight of the negroes, no labor remaining to work them.

 BRADFORD, Pa., July 25.-At Mt. Jewett, small hamlet twenty-one miles south of here, John E. Thompson, a railroad con struction boss, to, day killed man and sue cessfully defied the town to arrest him. Thompson, who was drunk enough to be ugly, sauntered into the Brewer House and picked quarrel with John Yohl, a good natured young fellow who was tending bar. Without the slightest warning Thompson drew a revolver and shot Yohl in the side The injured man staggered into hallway and died in few minutes without having spoken word. As Thompson swaggered out of ths barroom the landlords daughter, Miss Brewer, pluckily at tempted to stop him, when he thrust his pistol in her face and threatened to blow out her brains There was no off, cer in town, and though hundred men stood around not one dared to arrest the murderer. He reloaded his revolver and walked the streets for an hour, drawing his weapon when anyone approached. Several men set off for a neighboring settlement in order to get a Winchester rifle that they might drop the murderer in his tracks. Only leader was needed to bring about a lynch ing. After keeping the town under martial rule for an hour Thompson surrendered to the contractors who employed him and he was spirited away to jail by four men. The murder seems to have been entirely provoked.
