A Terrible Earthquake.

The associated press on Thursday
furnished the details of an earthquake
such as has never before been known in
the history of this country. 1t swept
over Charleston at night shortly after 10
o'clock, causing more loss and injury to
property, and far more loss of life than
the cyclone the year before. The first
shock was by far the most severe. It's
effect can bejudged by the experiences
of Captain Dawson, of the News and
Courier, who lives in massive brick
residence. Captain Dawson was in his
room on the second story when first the
shock occurred, and the house seemed
literally to turn on its axis The first
shock was followed by second and a
third less severe than the first and the
air was filled with the cries and shrieks
of women and children. From every
side of that quiet neighborhood came
cries "God help lis !" God save us p
Oh, my God p 1t was worse than the
worst battle of the war. When the first
agony was over it was found that the
ceiling of every room in the house was
cracked; the big cistern was broken apart
huge tank in the attic was pouring its
flow of water into the bedrooms; in the
parlors, statues had been wrenched from
their bases and thrown to the flower. In
the hall massive lamp had actually
been turned around. In the front of the
house was a large porch, with heavy
pillars and marble steps, all of which
was torn away as if it had been shaved
off with razor =.
And what was Captain Dawson's ex-
perience, was that of hundreds of others
in Charleston. There were five shocks.
diminishing in violence from the first.
The city is complete wreck, st.
Michael's church and st. Phillips church,
two of the most historic churches in the
city, are in ruins, as is also HIbernian
hall, the police station and many other
public buildings. Full two-thirds of the
residences in the city are uninhabitable,
wrecked either totally or partially. tits
impossible at this time to give correct
estimate of the causalties. tits expected
that between fifty and one hundred per-
sons have been killed and several hun
bred wounded. At the time of the first
shock fires broke out in five difernt pla-
ces in the city and about twenty houses
were destroyed.
The loss will probably reach from ST.
100000 to S10,00O,000.

STOCK.


The stock business in Gallatin county
has always been a success, and those who
have followed the business have become
independent. There are now on the
ample ranges of Gallatin county
32l mules and asses, valued at S 17,950.0O
1888 horses, valued at 503,645O0
81, 163 slfeep, valued at l65,S4600
81, PAS cattle. valued at 956.7l900
According to the Territorial Auditors
report of last year, the Gallatin ranges
are so divided, that by grazing the herds
on the extreme high lands during the
summer months, where the grass is al
WAYS very fine, the winter ranges in the
valleys and on the low foothills will
thereby be protected and held as re-
serve for winter use. BY observing this
rale. the ranges Of Gallatin county could
scarcely be overstocked Feeding cattle
in winter is a thing unknown in this sec
ten of the country, where the grass
grows most luxuriantly during the spring
and summer, molstened by occasional
rains. When the grass natures the dry
season begins and the grass cures as per
fectly as though it were cut and made
into hay, retaining all its excellent and
nutritious qualities, and is much pre-
ferred by the animals themselves, who
feed upon it during the winter months,
and fatten, coming out in the spring
very often in better condition than when
winter began. 1t is scarcely necessary
to speak OF Montana beeves here, for in
the great eastern markets, for size, beau
ty, fatness and general excellence, they
have acquired national reputation.
Sheep do fully as well as cattle. They
are usually divided into small herds,
ranging in Number each from 1900
to 1900 head. These are placed in
charge Of shepherds and are
herded on the ranges during winter.
The wool is of the most excellent quail
lty, and as we write we have On our table
large number Of samples from the
numerous herds Of Edwards Bros, ex
tensiye sheep growers Of Gallatin county,
which have been examined By eastern
wood buyers. AMI elasssd the same as
Ohio XXX The wool is entirely free
from burs, and il unwashed still is very
clean and free from dirt and sand.

TRIBUTARY MINES.

: The mines tributary to Bozeman, stu
ated as they are, encircle her in perfect
mineral chain, while in her very sub
urbs nature has PLACED every necessary
ingredient for the treatment of the rich
ores around her. Coal in abundance is
found to exist at distances varying from
three to fifteen miles; lime and iron in
close proximity, and within three miles
large deposit of superior ganoster and
fire clay for the manufacture Of an ex-
cellent quality of fire brick, hitherto
shipped at great expense from the gan
oster beds and coal fields of Wales,
water for power and other uses, wood,
timber and all necessary material in
natures abundance. 1t would therefore
seem that only human force and energy
were necessary to manipulate and utilize
these great natural advantages. and de-
yelop in the near vicinity Of Bozeman
reduction works for the treatment of the
ores in the surrounding camps. In addi-
ton to the mining camps already mem
toned, situated in Gallatin county, may
be added those in Madison county, which
are, BY their close trade relationship,
directly tributary to Bozeman. Red
Bluff. So miles west, Richmond Flat,
Meadow creek, Sterling, Words Peak,
Willow creek and Pony, none Of which
are over AS niles distant, and among
which will be found much rich ore, and
quantities Of lower grade ores that
would Ray well to move TO cheap fuel
for reduction.

Helena was the scene of a miscarriage
of justice Monday. Chicago Joe was ar

house, and at trial by jury was acquitted

return such verdict. It is absolutely
shameful. But it being demonstrated

GallatIn Valley sarley.

We are permitted to publish the fol-
lowing letter from a large commission
house in Chicago to T. C. Power & Co,
of Bozeman -
Gentlemen The beautiful sample of
barley arrived to-day, aud we must say
that it is faultless. We showed it to
several Of the largest maltsters and
brewers here. and they say that if you
can get any quantity of this class of bar
Ter that will run Up to this sample, they
will buy all you can send here. They
will not make bid on it, but want you
to name your price delivered in Chicago
for any part of ten Thousand sacks, like
this sample.
1t is easier to sell large lot of barley
to run like this sample than small lot.
1t would be very hard to get full val
for one carload, whereas We could sell
10, 20. or so cars ike the sample at its
full value. Our judgement is, that this
barley is worth in the neighborhood Of

pure republicans. editors of dyed-in-the-

GALLATIN VALLEY BARLEY.

In another column will be found a
communication to T. C. Power & Co,
from an extensive grain commission
house in Chicago The subject is barley;
Gallatin county barley, which this firm
say is the best they have ever seen, fault
less, in fact, and that they will take the
whole crop of this valley. The CHRoN-
ICIE has for the past year strongly adj
vlsed that this cereal be raised in Mon
tana. and we have at times thought that
perhaps we were praising the product
too highly, but the communication
refers to, and many others corroborate
our good opinion of the Gallatin valley
variety of barley, and prove beyond the
shadow Of doubt that every acre raised
here will be eagerly sought for and dis
posed of at farcy prices. Our soil, our
climate. altitude and every other natural
feature of our location, is favo able to-
the growth of barley. That we need
not depend upon our local market for its
sale, is fully demonstrated py the ue-
mand for it by the eastern brewers. We
are glad to learn that there is an in
creased acreage of it now in this valley,
and hope that our farmers will adopt it
as the most remunerative cereal.t that can
be grown, and that it will be produced
more extensively year after year.
-Four years ago, the only barley raised
here was used by our local brewery, to-
day very large number of farmers are
engaged ir its culture to limited extent,
with an eager demand for their produce
by brewers on the Atlantic coast. Let
our farmers take advantage of the stu
alton and, to use the time-worn, ancient,
but appropriate expression, govern
themselves accordingly"

CHURCHES.

Many very creditable church edifces
will be found throughout the county,
and in Bozeman the Presbyterians, Epis-
copalians, Methodists, Baptists, Catholics
and Methodist South, have good sub
stantial churches, which are well attend

taken in Sunday schools, the latter being
one of the most important features in
the Christian work. The ladies of Boze-

FREE SCHOOLS.

The school facilities of Gallatin coun-
ty are perhaps as good as can be found
in any community in the Northwest.
Bozeman school district has built, at
points in the city convenient OF access,
two large and commodious brick school
buildings, costing $4,000 each, which
are always in charge of the most compe-
tent teachers to be found, the school
term lasting usually ten months. In no
country on earth will there be found a
community more wiling to contribute
to the support of free schools, the school
tax always being paid without murmur,
and those having the most broad-gauge
views on the subject Of free schools, and
who pay the school tax with the.best
grace, and often take the most interest
in the success of schools are those who
have no children to reap benefit there
from. The same interest will be found
in all parts of Gallatin county, and neat,
snug, comfortable school buildings will
be found in all parts of the county,
where a sufficient number of children
Ct school age can be collected.
