Nsminated Yesterday.
Hon. Edmund Rice is direct descendent of
Dean Edmund Rice, who came from Hert-
fordshire, England, and settled In Sudbury,
now Wayland Mass, about 1888. From
the offspring of the English dean has sprung
numerous family. which has made its mark
in most states OF the Union. In the struggle
for American independence; ia the army Of
the United States, and in the national legis-
lature as well as in the church. members OF
the family have made themselves famous.
Edmund Rice was born Waitsfeld, VT,

currence of earthquake Shocks and the city

expected that within another week, it
there be no more shocks, the city will have
resumed it's normal condition. The work
of rebuilding and repairing has been going

is growing feeling of confidence in the
city.
New ORLEANS. Sept 29.-The weather

good in forwarding crops. In this city the
rains have flooded the streets in many
places, necessitating the use of fire engines
to pump out stores. The predicted earth
quake did not take place, but the volcano
of Colima is again III state of eruption. a
huge white cloud Overhanging the summit,
causing great terror among the inhabitants
OF the neighboring villages. This is the
third time within a year that this volcano
has become active. The volcano is in plain

meteorological disturbances are taking
place.

The Zoe watkins Mystery.

ST. LOUIS. Sept 29.-Chief of Police
Haebler, received some time ago letter
from George P. Keister, guard at the
Jefferson City penitentiary, stating that
convict named George Sears, in the shoe
shop No. 9, had Informed him that he
knew about the Zoe Watkins mystery.
Miss Watkins was the daughter OF l.. A.
Watkins, business man of this city, and
was greatly respected by her acquaintance
and friends. His daughter was very hand
some and had host of admirers. Suddenly
in May, 1882, the young lady disappeared
and no clue to her whereabouts could be
discovered until her body was found in the
river. No marks Of violence were found on
her body and it was generally thought
that she had committed suicide. The mys-
terry now is in fair way to be discovered,
for Sears has confessed that he knew about
the mystery. He states that she was 40
Quoted and afterwards murdered, but gives
no names in detail. His story is dscred-
tied by some who think that he wants to
be brought to st. Louis for examination in
order to be released from confinement for a
short time. Sears. however, was a resi-
dent of st. Louis before he was sent to
the penitentiary for forgery, and an &C

men were in the ranks; among them were
Hon. P. H. Kelly. Judge Flandrau, S. s.
Eaton, Judge d. A. j. Baker. W. P. Muir
ray, Capt Starkey, Judge Wilkin, Judge
