THE EARTH RENT.
Great Excitement in Summit Coun-
: ty, Ohio.
Houses shakcn and People Thrown From
Their Beds.

AKRON, o., Feb 15--At two o'clock this
morning many people in this city were
awakened by their houses being shaken,
while the residents OF Sandy Hill, four
miles south OF here, were thrown from
their beds, and their windows and ceilings
cracked and fell to the floor. The first in
timation OF tho disturbance came in the
way Of terrible report, as of some great
explosion in the vicinity Of Sandy Hill,
followed by houses swaying so that the
denizens Of that place fed in great
alarm. This morning a great fissure
was noticed at the seat Of this earth dis
turbance. The families Of Henry Snider,
Lester Allen, Uriah Thornton, A. A.
Schwartz and Jamas Porter, residing
where the phenomenon manifested itself
more forcibly, were terribly frightened,
and some Of their houses were badly
shaken up. Similar occurrences were
noted in this same district twenty-five
years ago and again in 1882. Prof. Clay
pool and Prof. Reed have made examina-
tons of the assures, and have advanced
the theory that the phenomenon vas
caused by the escape Of gas from beneath
the superficial layers Of gravel and sand.
Others, however, refute this, as gas-drillers
in that vicinity have struck only very
small quantities OF the invisible fluid. The
explosion last night made noise like the
discharge of cannon, and was fol-
lowed by low, rumbling sounds, the
first noise being heard hero at nine
O'Clock last night, while low mutterings
continued up to the time that the final ex-
plosion came.

Aoain Found Guilty.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Feb. 15.--The jury in
the Stanyard murder case returned ver-
dict OF murder in the first degree. The
prisoners counsel filed a motion for new
trial. This is the second time Stanyard
has been convicted. The prisoners mother,
whose devotion to her son has boon re-
markable since his arrest, was not in
court, being detained at homo by a broken
arm, sustained by fall, while on her way
to the courthouse on Monday. A
8S-caliber revolver cartridge attached to
the end of stick by wire was found in
Stanyard's vest pocket when he was
searched in his cell this morning. 1t is sup
posed that his intention was when all the
hope of escaping was gone, to hold the
base OF the cartridge in a gas jet with the
bullet pointing into his mouth until 1t ex-
ploded. The idea was probably borrowed
from Louis Lining, the Chicago anarchist.
Relatives of the prisoner are supposed 10
have furnished the deadly apparatus.

BAD PRED1oAMENT.
A Horse in a Tree Top waiting for somo
One to Pick Him.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Norwichtown has
the only horse in the world which has been
up in tree. He is nn old blind horse and
has passed to the stage when II is not OF
much consequence TO him where he is or
what he does, In hauling ice ON the steep
side OF the Yam Yankie river he backed or
n twenty five foot en- mbankment and lodgeI
in tho upper boughs OF an old elm. He rested
there easily, his forefoet dangling over a
limb and his hind legs hanging over an
other, while on his face was an expression
that was interpreted to mean that what,
ever he was he was satisfied that his job
had become better one than hauling ice
up a vertical tackle. 1t was not easy to
tell what to do with him, and twenty mon
gathered about the trunk Of the elm and
thought Some one finally hit on an ex-
pertinent. A man wont aloft and fai.
tened rope to tho tree top, camo
down, and thirteen men took
hold of the rope at safe distance
from the tree. Then woodman, went TO
work to fell the tree. The rest OF the party
waited to sec the horse and tree come
down. The chopper cut the trunk half
through, the weight OF the horse bore tho
top downward, the descent being gradu-
ated by the men at the ropes, and the ami
NAL was gracefully and safely lowered to
the river ice. The horse was led around
the embankment, hitched to tho tackle
again, and his job of hauling ice was re-
sumed

DULUTH, Feb. 1T.-Inquiries have been

information about Murray Hill, an addi-
ton to Duluth. No such addition is
known. 1t is being sold in Buffalo by
H. H. Backus and Edward Smith, and
is described as situated in Township

about four miles from the city, where
property is not at all in demand. tits said
that it is to be the future residence por-
tion Of Duluth, and that cable line will
run past it; also that it adjoins Grand
View Park, which is also an imaginary
addition. The Buffalo parties are selling
the lots at 800 each, or about 500 an acre,
claiming that in the Grand View addition
they are selling at 400 each. Real estate

about o'clock yesterday afternoon. At
that hour c. &. Leveaux, cashier, and I. Il.

other men appeared at the same
time and took the three bankers in charge,
while the first collected the funds Of the
bank, about 5000 in cash. Mr.. Leveaux's
movements were too slow TO suit the rob-
bers when ordered around, and he was Sc
verely beaten on the head. The robbers
locked the bankers in a yard back Of the
bank building, and jumping into o
wagon fed down the street, saluting
the astonished people with volleys
from their revolvers, and displaying the
bags of ill-gotten gains The cashier was
the first to free himself and rushed into
the street. explaining the cause OF the
racket. In a short time Marshal Thomas
and posse were in pursuit. The men were
unmasked and an accurate description is
given, from which the authorities think
they know the men.
